FRIDAY, JANUARY Al, 1910
LIQUOR DEALERS ENTER YER
MONT CAMPAIGN.

Vermont voters are receiving copies
of a new paper, The Other Side. Its
genearl appearance is very similar to
The Issue, the organ of the Anti-Saloon
League. The new paper is true to its
name: it is squarely opposed to pro-
hibitlon and to the Anti-Saloon League
in particular. At the head of its
editorial columns is the statement
that it is Published by the Publicity
Department of the National Whole
sale Liquor Dealers Association"
No doubt it is distressing to many OPP
ponents of the Perry law to have the
national wholesale liquor dealers enter
the Vermont campaign. Local option
has been urged as temperance
measure. But are the national whole
sale liquor dealers likely to be mistaken
as to which law is in their interest?
They have had good deal of experience.
They are now sending their organ to
Vermont to fight prohibition. The en-
trance of the wholesale liquor trade
into the Vermont campaign should open
the eyes of every one as to the real is
sue. If you want to stand for temper
ance and sobriety, it is safe to vote the
way the national wholesale liquor
dealers don't want you to.

FIFTIETH WEDDING ami
VERSARY.


The fiftieth anniversary of their
marriage was observed by Mr., and Mrs,
Alyerton S, Bingham at their home on
Tuesday afternoon, January 18TH
About thirty were present to extend
congratulations that they had been
spared to share so many years together
and to wish them more returns of the
anniversary Of their wedding day. The
pleasant rooms were decorated in white
and yellow and with beautiful choice
flowers sent by Miss M, Cora Bingham
of Rutland and Linus Peck Of Westerly,
II. l., both relatives, Very nice re-
freshments were served in the dining
room. Here the color decorations were

by illness, and Mr.. Loren Richards an
early resident of the town and Mrs. NJ.

letters from friends farther away show
ing kind remembrance were many.
The guests were received by their

the comfort and pleasure of the guests.
Miss Katharine Griswold in neat
and fitting rhyme presented two gold
pieces, a gift from members of the
Mary Baker Allen chapter, d. A. r.,
of which Mrs. Bingham is valued
member. Mr.. Bingham briefly re-
sponded expressing thanks.
Our first thought was to wonder why
there were not more Of the old friends
and neighbors present, the second
thought brought the painful fact that
some had moved away, but more had
passed on, gone from mortal ken.
AS we greeted the happy pair and
looked in their smiling faces we could
hardly realize that so long a time had
passed since their wedding day, as the
years had rested so lightly and kindly
upon them.
The social hour of CHEEKY converse
and pleasant "reminiscences of the long
ago passed all too soon as the waning
sun warned that the pleasurers of the
afternoon must yield to sterner duties
and soon the friends had left for their
respective homes, leaving best wishes
for the entire household and taking with
them memory of pleasant afternoon
happily spent. X. l.. S.

TRUTH ABOUT MEXICO,
FROM A BOER GENERAL.

FROM A BOER GENERAL
Strong, noble words were spoken by
a former leader of the Beers in South
Africa a few days ago in New York
city at dinner of the National Special
Aid Society, They should bring the
blush Of shame to those who are prals'
ing Woodrow Wilson for keeping the
country out Of war, So he has, but at
the price of what disgrace, what loss of
that honor and self-respect which are
the very soul of nation?
Read what the old fighter said, his
voice trembling with emotion and his
tall, massive form seeming to dominate
the room, Forgive me if ! tell you that
my wife and children are now living
within three miles of the spot where
seventeen of the finest kind of Ameri-
can citizens were murdered the other
day by Mexican patriots,
"Bear with me if | tell you that three
weeks ago to-day ! talked in FL Paso
with those very men who have been sac
rifced by the stupidity of your Govern
ment at Washington These are hard
words, They will make enemies for me-
"What does it matter? What does
anything matter to us who have been
robbed by the scum of the earth, who
have lived in hell and always hoping,
hoping, hoping that your Old Glory still
meant something, that some time, some
day, your great Government would look
at things as they are and not as they
ought to be?
read that telegram that Mr.. Lansing
sent to Carranza requesting him to
catch the murderers of those friends of
mine. No man knows better than Lam
sing that Carranza cannot arrest Ithem.
Lansing is trying to blind the eyes of
the American people to the fact that the
Carranzistas are as frightened as the
Villistas.
ooh, you American citizens Can't
you demand that justice prevail and that
your flag means real protection to the
weak and miserable? Why do you sit
here and allow these things togo on in
Mexico? In Gods name, what does
America mean? Are you at peace only
because you have lost your nationa
honor, because you have turned youl
back on honor and decency and justice!
That cannot be.
accept my sincerity when tell yor
that few men know more accurately
what is going on in Mexico to-day thar
|, after fourteen years of residence
there, after watching one revolution
after another. And tell you that the
olicy of your Government is response
Bile for the boodshed that shocks the
world.
"Mr. Wilson says he is giving the
country a chance to evolve its true
democratic principles. Nothing could be
more untrue. There are 5,000,0 900 per
sons in Mexico and only $50, 900 men are
interested in the fighting. They are the
the convicts, the thieves, the scum OF
the country. Thev are as evil under
Carranza as they are under Zapata OF
Villa. They do rot know what liberty
or patriotism means. d."

MORGAN REGISTER.

The third volume of the Morgan
Register recently published is being
favorably received. and orders are
coming in from all parts of the United
States. The issue of The American
Horse Breeder for January IL contains
the following notice.
"A copy of Volume III of the Morgan
Horse and Register which came to our
desk early this week, again brings to
mind the picturesque career of Joseph
Battell, to whom the Morgan breed of
horses owes the greater part of its high
standing among other types of equines.
But for Mr.. Battel's initiative, untir-
ing energy, unfailing devotion, liberality
and perseverance in tracing the blood
lines of the various branches of the
I breed, the Morgan horse would not be
as prominent as it is today.
"Snce Mr.. Battell's death, which &C.
Cured in February, 1915, many breed
ers and owners have probably been
wondering what would become of the
Morgan Register. The introduction in
Volume III answers the question: 1.-The
registration of Morgan horses will con-
! tinue under the management of the es-
tate at least for the present. Volumes
of the Register will be published from
. time to time, as in the past. " This an
, nouncement will be gratifying to all in
. terested in the future welfare of the
! breed.
volume III, modelled in the manner
of its two predecessors, contains nearly
seven hundred pages, of which prac-
tically all had evidently been compiled
by or under the supervision Of Mr..
: Battell prior to his death. The name
of every animal recorded in the Morgan
Register can be found in this volume,
but only the complete pedigree of those
registered since the publication of
Volume II are to be found in the latest
publication. Only one feature land one
that would be interesting to breeders of
standardized horses) is missed, and
that is list of the trotters and PAGERS
with standard records whose ancestry
traces in some way to Justin Morgan.
Thirty-pages of Volume II were devoted
to this list, but the publishers omitted
it in the current volume owing to lack
of space.
1.-THE volume is handsomely illustrat-
ed, almost fifty half-tones of represen-
tatives of the Morgan breed being re-
produced within its covers, including
likenesses of General Gates, now at the
head of the Government breeding stud
at Weybridge, Vt, Kinds Ethan Allen,
Bob B., Bob Morgan, Donald, Reynard,
