SOME DOUBTING
THOMASES
ANSWERED

opened my office in Salem April Bird last year and
have been in business here since that time or about
ten months. Soon after opening my office and many
times since have heard the remark: "He CDR Cox
would only be here short time and then he would
leave for new pastures"
1t is really pathetic the way some people worry
about other peoples affairs. The busybodies making
these assertions were not patrons of DR.. Cox nor
were they liable to be, yet they sat up of nights
rying lest some might go to his office and be dis
appointed in their work
The reason some people take so much trouble to
guard others against the wes Of the world has never
been satisfactorily accounted for but once and that
was when someone remarked that "the reason" so
many did not mind their own business was that some
of them had no business and the others no mind"
1t is perhaps foolish to pay any attention to such
profound prophets of evil and disaster but to show
just what my intentions in the matter of remaining
in Salem are l submit the following letter from the
owners of the building in which my office is located

FROM WITHOUT THE STATE
FOR OLD MIDDLEBURY.
Boston Herald.

Good fortune continues to follow that
old and famous Vermont school known
as Mddlebury college. Chartered in
1900, having to-day less than $50 stu
dents, a few years ago the subject of
anxious thought for its alumni and other
well. wishers, it now may face the fu-
ture with confidence born not only Of
gratitude for the gifts that of late have
been received, but also of a resolute de-
termination to fulfil a special mission to
the Green Mountain State.
One of the alumni, New York banker
who was graduated in 1871, now gives
the school $3.50, 900 for one of the finest
dormitories-in the United States. What
rubbing of eyes there will be even
among many of the younger alumni, tor
some of them will remember we'll how
they lived in plain stone buildings, heat
ed by wood stoves and furnished with
water from the college pump. Of late
there have also come to the school new
gymnasium and much other property,
besides nucleus for an adequate
endowment. But Middlebury will not
be spoiled by prosperity, not so long as
the ideals of her energetic president,
John M. Thomas, are to be the fore,
for short time ago he was saying:
81 hope | may see the day when |
may have map of Vermontin my office
with the blue flag of Middlebury in a
hundred mountain towns, each flag in
dicatng the station of some man or
woman from this college who has gone
there not because he could not get po-
sition at high salary elsewhere, but
because there is need in Vermont which
only trained leadership will meet. Our
hope is the same as that which ami
mated Germany in 1SO6-superior intel
ligence supported by education. Just
as for a century the schoolmaster has
been the master of Germany, and there
by Germany has become the most mas
terful nation in the world, so must the |
schoolmaster take the lead in our noun |
tains and give the people of the noun
tain commonwealth their old masterful
spirit"

Probably the some answer would be

hocks of sheep grazing every season,

OUR LICENSED DRUG STORES.
M I HApCOOD

To the Editor of the Register:
The other day at the County Clerk s
office looked over the records of sales of
liquorat the licensed drug stores in Addi-
son county. Here you learn who wants
the liquor, what variety, for what use in
tended, the amount prescribed and the
name of the physician writing the pre-
scription. Rum, whiskey, brandy, beer
and alcohol are the liquors prescribed
for medicinal purposes. The records
are intoxicating.
After brief examination of the rec
ords came to two conclusions: first,
that liquor as prescription for medci
nal purposes fails to effect a cure in a
great many cases. A man (women
are rarely afflicted with diseases that
require liquor tor medicine) gets a
prescription on certain day for two
pints of whiskey for medicinal pur-
poses. Look at the records and you will
find his name appears again after a
couple of days or weeks, repeatedly
through the months. His case is heart
rending. This unfortunate victim of
disease that apparently requires liquor
to effect a cure fails to see that his
physician is 'stringing' him, that he is
not being cured. But the persistence
Of the fellow in search of health is adj
mirable; month after month finds him
returning to the drug store with pre-
scripton for more of the disagreeabe
rum, or whiskey, or what not in his de-
termination to be cured. Surely such
persistence in search of health by means
of whiskey or rum should be recorded
forever, as the State law provides, in the
office of the County Clerk. The records
are Illuminating.
Secondly, if it ever happens that l am
afflicted with disease or malady that
requires rum, or whiskey, or beer for

NEW MAPLE SUGAR.

Waterbury Record.
The fact that one or two farmers in
Vermont have made enough sugar for
taste, should not be sufficient notice
for city dealers to advertise new maple
sugar from Vermont. Much has been
accomplished so far by dealers selling
pure Vermont maple sugar and it is
possible that another advance step
can be taken so that no old sugar will
be placed on the market for new. The
time is in the near future when the
demand is going to be so great that the
supply each year will be so quickly sold
and at such good prices that no old
sugar will be on the market

FRESH VERMONT AIR.

Another argument for keeping the
windows open at night, especially IN
sleeping apartments or rooms con-
nected Herewith, is found in the mar
row escape from asphyxiation by
coal gas emanating from a heating
stove of Brandon family night or
two ago. Safety first seems to be a
good rule to apply in this matter. Good
fresh Vermont air, even at zero, is con,
ducive to life and health.

VENGEANCE UPON CLUBS.
Rutland News.

A Bellows Falls man has just been
assessed 5000 fine, with cost added,
for being caught with a keg of
beer, to which a number of men
had access, presumably at a price.
He alleges that there are several
clubs in his village where the pro-
hibition law is systematically being
violated, and he swears vengeance
upon these organizations. He is
hardly to be blamed. Bellows Falls
voters elected no-license, and they
ought to abide by the law, absolutely.
These clubs, if they exist, are violating
the law, both in letter and in spirit,
and they are entitled to receive no diff
ferent treatment from that melted out

COMMUNICATIONS.
REPRESENTATIVE HAPGO0D ON
STATEWIDE PROHIBITION.

on w lIL
To the Editor Of the Register;
There is such a widespread misappre-
hension in regard to the change which
the proposed Statewide prohibition, if
adopted, would produce in the towns
which now vote against license, that |
cannot refrain from attempting, at
least. to cause the true facts to be
known.
Statewide prohibition would produce
no practical change whatever in the
towns which now vote against license,
There would be no license and the me
laws and machinery for its enforcement
as now exist It's main, well-nigh only,
object is to abolish the change for the
about one in twenty towns which now
vote license, quite all of them with a
very close majority, from continuing to
do so. The support for license is now
80 extremely weak that it is not con-
sidered advisable to allow it to longer
stir up every year this extremely disa-
greeabe matter when there are so
many other matters of high Importance
which need our attention.
1t has come to be considered that the
power of single town adopting license
should no longer be able to reach out
and equally affect with its degrading in
fluence all of the contiguous towns, no
matter how strongly they may oppose
license.
If the license places would confne
their sales to their own people so far as
State residents are concerned, or even
attempt to, the outside places would not
so strongly oppose them, and it would
soon entirely kill license in all places,
since the small majority securing it is,
as a rule, obtained from those who sup
port it from the belief that license
brings in trade in a general way from
the surrounding towns which oppose it,
an influence, however, which they hard
ly dare to openly acknowledge
When we consider that three quarters
of the crime, misery, poverty, ignor-
ance and degradation of the land is
caused by the use of intoxicants, those
who have the public welfare truly at
heart can take only one position in the
matter and that is to curtail their use
TO the utmost, even though that use for
sickness should be lessencd.
Open, gaudy saloons, however well
guarded, are temptation to our boys
which we should on no account permit.
The hard cider argument against the
Perry law has no foundation whatever,
since it in no way weakens the present
law against its use.
Montpelier last year, under license,
had continuous exhibition of stagger-
ing drunkards in her streets which |
never saw elsewhere. Yet she voted
license largely because, if she had not,
some little town adjoining would have
done so again, as before, in order to at
tract expeditions from outside which
would make vier use of the fluid than
if obtained at home.
