Popular Summer Visitor Town.

The heights of Lunenburg, a town
IN Essex county and bordering the
Connecticut river with Lancaster
located on the New Hampshire side
of the stream, has not of late years
put forth much claim to publicity;
but the efforts of the anti-hay fever
people are likely to bring the town
into some distinction. 1t is high
country, where the fresh breezes
blow and above the misty atmos-
phere, and there the victims of hay
fever ought to find just as much re-
lief as they get in Bethlehem, N. H.
Already Lunenburg has launched
forth in the undertaking to enter
tain summer people because, located
on one of the numerous small bodies
of water in the Xlcinity,a girls camp
is in operation with considerable
patronage. The camp is declared to
be excellent for tie purpose. There
is no reason why several camps of
sneezers could not be accommodated
in the large open spaces of the
sparsely populated town. B ARE
Daily Times.
All the above is true, but like the
old Bible story, 1.-The half has never
been told" of Lunenburg's beautiful
location, and wonderfully clear and
invigorating air. The latter is why
50 many hay fever people seek this
picturesque town for a season of
pleasure and relief from that very
annoying disease with which sneezers
are afflicted. We have seen some of
the noted beauty spots in Vermont
scenery but none surpass the beauty
nature has given the town of Lunen-
burg. The village is located on high
ground with almost the nature of a
bluff. 1t has pretty streets, good
buildings, large lawns with abundant
maple foliage to add to the beauty
of the place. Lunenburg also has q
fine country hotel, the Heights
House, with Landlord and Mrs. New
man, whose welcome and entertain
ment makes guests feel at home
This house is filled every season with
city visitors who plan to spend the
summer months each year in this
popular summer home. There are
other popular homes in Lunenburg
for summer visitors and a camp for
girls, Camp Winneshewauka, that is
growing in popularity. Below Lun-
enburg village is the Connecticut
river with its broad and fertile val
ley, and on either side is found
beautiful mountain scenery in Yer
mont and New Hampshire. Essex
county, in the extreme northeastern
part of Vermont, has been some
what left out in the publicity of
Vermont's beauty spots, but it is
steadily growing in popularity as a
summer resort section and may in
the near future take a leading place
in the states attractions, both for
scenic beauty, restful summer homes
and place that brings relief to
many of natures ills including the
afflicted "sneezers." Plan next
season to come this way. You will
enjoy the trip and Essex county will
be glad to bid you welcome.

Objectionable features have been

cism of the law can be based on its

upon the interest the voters take in

Colonel Roosevelt put considerable
ginger in the Republican campaign
in his opening speech in Maine.
Teddy is a man of wonderful per-

the people and the people have faith
in him. The Republican party needs
his service and the Colonel will never
be found wanting when he feels that
duty calls.

Congressman Greene and Dale, and
Senator Dillingham; voted against
the eight-hour bill. Senator Page
did not vote. We expected YER
mont's delegation would be opposed
to the bill at this time. Their op-
position was not based on lack of
sympathy with labor, but On the
ground that the national govern
ment should not be threatened by
any class of citizens into passing a
law within a certain time or they
would cause a public calamity to fol-
low. Vermonters believe in fair
play, and are not afraid to lift their
voice against such coercion which is
uncalIed for, an unpatriotic, I'M
American, unjust, and it's decidedly
arbitrary feature a menace to that
good and stable government upon
which this great republic was estab,
lished. We believe this law will be
retroactive upon those who are re.
sponsible for it's passage.

Question Before the Seventh District

\/OTERS OF the Seventh Virginia District,
who must soon elect a Representative
from that district. have before them far
more important question than one of sec
tional. geogra phica division. So far as pres
ent reports indicate. much will be made of
the claim OF counties west OF the Blue Ridge
that 4 Representative should be chosen from
that part OF the district. because the counties
east OF the mountains have had the honor OF
representation in Congress for twenty years

contention. considerations of that nature must

test is this: is he an advocate or opponent.

terms, that he will abide by the solemn decla-
ration of his party. in convention assembled.

Under the accepted understanding OF party
loyalty, he will be bound to follow that course
in any case. But it has been shown, in ways
unmistakable, that this general policy is

that Mr.. Hay WAS able 10 convince himself

only by perseverance in the face of obstinate

ness as is now provided for
Nor will it do for the candidate to remind
his future constituents that the army reor-
ganiZation bill is now in effect, and that a
huge army appropriation bill is now in pro
cess OF passage Those whose votes he seeks
may remind him that both these bills are
effective only for a short time II will be
