SPEAKS ON PROHIBITION.
Large Audience Heard r. P. Hutton
in First Baptist Church.

A large audience was present last
evening in the First Baptist church to
hear K. 2. Hutton, an organizer in the
prohibition movement who has been
working in West Virginia and Oregon.
Mr.. hutton said, among other things,
that the local option law was a neces.
sary and progressive step ahead from
the period of norestrictions ON the sale
OF liquor. Prohibition is another and
the next forward step and should be
taken. The matter of the difference in
income to the state and nation will nj
tlmately adjust itself, as has been
shown in those states where prohibi-
ton prevails.
He said that in the last two or three
elections it had been found that a
large percentage of the voters had not
exercised their prerogative, and he
urged that every effort be made at the
coming election to get out the voters.

burden of expense upon us. Lots of com
plant is made about 1.-THE old prohibit
tory law People are quite apt to re-
member its faults and forget its beae-
fits, but the figures quickly show that
we were much better off under prohibi-
ton than we have been under local OPP
ton.
1t is true that since the local option
law was passed. three centers of rum
selling activities have been cleaned out
from our midst, the 'sbrewery'' on the
island, the Brattleboro House and the
American House. These places in pro-
hibitory days, and as long as they ex-
listed under local option, were the cen
tiers of activity for the liquor traffic
It was the business interest for the own
ers or occupants of those places and that
put an added burden on the officers of
the law. But those places have been
swept away, not by virtue of the local
option law, but because the march of
events in Brattleboro has swept them
out.
The building of the dam and the pur-
chase of the Island property by the
Power Co. cleaned that out. The re-
quirements of business brought about
the demolition of the American House
and the erection of our best business
block. The railroad improvements
brought about the destruction of the
Brattleboro House.
The hold of the liquor interests upon
when these changes came about. Some
Brattleboro was tremendously weakened
when these changes came about. Some
| people are apt to view it all as a bene-
| fit coming from local option when, as we
see, local option contributed not a mite
| to that Improvement
If you Will look at the figures you
will see that the number of arrests even
when Brattleboro is no license is fully
as much, if not more, year by year, than
under prohibition, and the policing ex-
pense of the village has increased rath-
er than decreased. We are, of course,
enjoying the benefit of the no license
sentiment of this county. The whole
county has been dry now for several
years. But ought we to take the chance
every spring that some of the towns
may go wet9
If | want my boy to be total alb
stainer from the use of Intoxicating

of liquor before him every morning that
he may be tempted9 No reasonable
man wants Brattleboro TO go license.

a general order from the adiutant
general s office announces several
changes in the list of commissioned Of
ficers. The resignation of 1st Lieut..
Z. ". Trendell of Brattleboro is accept
ed subject to the settlement of his ae-
counts.
The resignation of Capt. J. B. Han
non of Bennington, formerly of Brattle-
boro, IS accepted and Capt Harmon is
placed on the retired list at his own re-
quest, with the rank of captain. The
Endorsement of the regimental com
mander approving the resignation of
Capt. Harmon is as follows:
1t is recognized that Captain Han
non s service has been long and faith
ful, and that he has been a conscien-
nous and efficient officer. The resig-
nation is approved solely on the ground
that Capt. Harmon failed to take the
service school course as given by the in
spector-instructor last year. -

DIED AFTER DAUGHTER LEFT.
Mrs. Morrison Failed Rapidly After
Geraldine Disappeared

ST. JOHNSBURY, Feb. 81. Mrs.
Reuben Morrison, 40, died at her nome
here yesterday after year s illness.
Although Mrs. Morrison had been in
poor health for long time, the dis
appearance of her l6-year-old daugh-
ter Geraldine about six weeks ago hal
proved on her mind and this undoubt-
edly caused her complete breakdown.
Besides her husband Mrs. Morrison
leaves four daughters and one SON.
Miss Geraldine Morrison. student in
the public schools here, disappeared
from her home about six weeks ago
and all efforts to trace her have been
in vain. 1t is known that she went to
Boston, as detectives there found a
suitcase belonging to her in store,
but all traces of her ended there.
According to her family there was
no known reason for her leaving home
and they are hopeful that she may in
some manner learn of her mother 5
death and return to st. Johnsbury,
where hearty welcome awaits her.

STOP PAIN MISERY

Remove pain misery as many thou
sands of others have done, by applying
Minard's liniment, an old, reliable pre-
scription. No other remedy acts so
quickly or effectively. 1t is pure and
antlseptic, wonderfully soothing, and
is the most effective remedy for rheu-
matte pains, soreness and stiffness of
joints and muscles, lameness, sore
hands, tired, aching feet, pains in
cnest, sore throat, and for sprains,
strains and bruises. You cannot af-
ford to be without it, for its use is
never disappointing, and it cannot pos
sibly harm or burn the skin.
Do not suffer-get bottle of Minard'a
liniment from any drug store.
