SUBSCRIPTION RATES
PATRIOTISM.

A nation is made great, not by its
fruitful acres, but by the men who
cultivate them; not by its great. for
ests, but by the men who use them;
not by it's mines, but by the men
who work in them; not by its rail-
ways, but by the men who build
and run them. America was a
great land when Columbus dis
covered it; Americans have made of
it a great nation.
In 1776, our fathers had vision
of a new Nation conceived in liber-
ty and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal. !"
Without an army they fought the
greatest of existing world empires
that they might realize this vision.
A third of a century later, without
a navy they fought the greatest
navy in the world that they might
win for their Nation the freedom
of the seas. Half a century later
they fought through an unparallel-
ed Civil War that they might es-
tablish for all time on this continent
the inalienabIe right of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. A
third of century later they fought
to emancipate an oppressed neigh,
Dor, and, victory won, gave back
Cuba to the Cubans, sent an army
of schoolmasters to educate fol-
liberty the Filipinos, asked no war
indemnity from their vanquisheC
enemy, but paid him literally fol
his property. Meanwhile they of
fered land freely to any farmer
who would live upon and cultivate
it, open to foreign immigrants or
equal terms the door of industrial
opportunity, shared with them politi
cal equality, and provided by univer
sal taxation for universal education
The cynic who can see in THU
history only. a theme for hi
egotistical satire is no true Ameri
can, whatever his parentage, what
ever his birthplace. He who look
with pride upon this history which
his fathers have written by theil
heroic deeds, who accept with graft
tude the inheritance which they
have bequeathed to him, and WIT
highly resolves to preserve this in
heritance unimpaired and to pass i
on to his descendants enlarged ant
enriched, is a true American, be hi
birthplace or his parentage what i
may.

Drug Users in Bad Shape.

Sheriff Allen of Burlington is having
no easy time with Edward and Florence
Walsh, alias Lebau and several names,
who were arrested at Winooski Tues
day night on the charge of obtaining
morphine contrary to the law.
The two, it appears, are confirmed
users of both morphine and cocaine and
the services of a physician were neces-
sary to quiet their cries for dope. The
man is a cripple and is considerably
emaciated The woman is pallid and
weak. Both would probably die in
agony if they we're not supplied with
opiates to some extent.
They were held for the May term OIL
federal court at Windsor in the sum of
$500 each which amount they could not
furnish.
The Flints admit all the charges
against them. They say they obtained
by their forgeries 1000 grains of NOR
phine and 500 grains of cocaine and sent
away large part of. Both respond
dents are physical wrecks from the use
of drugs and are under a physician s
care

Mrs. Karl Perry, about IS years of

late Thursday afternoon. Her husband
discovered the body. Dependency due
to i'll health is thought to have been the
cause of her act, if it was premeditated.

clans succeeded in extracting the ball,
which entered the body just above the

Wanted Dog Buried With Him.

Alvin P. Cummings notable char
acter of Montpelier, died Wednesday at
his home, where he had lived Is years

the first sprinkling cart ever used there

barrels in four weeks.

occasion carrying horse out of his
blacksmith shop on his back.
