completely cured in from
three to ten days.

No discovery of recent years in the field OF
medicine has caused such a stir amongst the
medical profession rs the recent discovery that
piles can be successfully treated and cured at
home by a wonderful prescription known to
druggists ms Miro Pile Remedy
II has been proved that so-called external
remedies applied or inserted into the rcctum
cannot cure piles and at the best only give
temporary relief. This Is also true of surgical
operations, which simply remove them after
formation, but in no wise act on the source
Of the trouble.
This prescription. although taken internally,
is not digestcd in the stomach, but is rapidly
passed on unchanged to the intestines in a
short time, reaching the exact place where bs

The two American avistors landed in
Mexico because they had lost their way.
They appealed for help and trusted to
their supposed rescuers. They were not
deliberately counting trouble by going
where danger was known to Turk nor
were they connected with any private
interest accused or suspected of de-
string to exploit Mexican resources at
the. expense of Mexico or its people.
The circumstances of this particular
outrage, although American officers were
its victims, were, however, not essential
ly different from those of the many that
have preceded it, so far as the Mexican
government is concerned. IL illustrates
in precisely the same way the "unwill-
ingness or inability" of Carranza to pro-
tect foreigners from wanton attack when
engaged in their legitimate business. OF
itself alone it does not Justify the "radi-
cal change" of American policy threat
ened in the recent note.
Secretary Lansing last Friday de-
scribed armed intervention as the Gre
hottest possibility" There seems to be
no reason to suppose that the situation
mus ihaecAA aiiJ hlbsitu ulSdHWullS Vi
that there is any intention OF making
the present expedition the forerunner Of
more serious movement. 1t is certain
ly to be hoped that Carranza will meet
the reasonable american demand by Wig
orous action of some sort. Perfect or
der or perfect safety for America is not
to be expected; nor would it be possible
under American occupation. 1t is, on the
other hand, proper to expect, and to
demand, that the rights of Americans in
Mexico shall be protected by every rea-
sonable means. What these are under
the circumstances the American govern
ment must judge in determining its pol
icy. II realizes, of course, that it is the
sinister desire of certain private Amer
lean interests to embroil this country in
actual war with Mexico, and that such
a necessity would be most deplorable.-

CURRENT COMMENT
Those Who Borrow the Paper.

The Vermont press is having much to
say about the habit Of borrowing papers.
While it may be said in general that we
believe this is practiced as little in this
vicinity as anywhere, there are conspicu-
GUS examples to the contrary. What can
be more exasperating to a subscriber Tor
to the publisher) than the persistent
sponging of nickels worth of reading
from the home newspaper each week? 1t
is an established fact that every paper
is read in more households than it has
subscribers, and that circulation figures
seldom show the actual purchasing pow
er of country paper, but the chronic
borrower of a paper may be classed little
short of a pest and Stacker Barton

"0ne-Arm" Auto Drivers.

Secretary of State Black is certainly
doing some good work in revoking the IL
censes of reckless and fast auto drivers.
There is another class of fool drivers
that he should get after, viz, the "one-
arm" driver The writer recently saw a
dagerous and amusing sample of the
"one-arm" act. As the car in which he
was riding, between Montpelier and Wa
terbury, was going around curve, he
met ear with lady at the wheel. She
had one arm around her companion's
neck and his arm was encircling her
waist. Hugging bees are all right enough
in the parlor, but not in an auto, espe-
eially when the machine is in motion.
We hope Harry, in issuing licenses in the
future, will notify applicant that if
caught doing the zone arm" act he will
have his license revoked Bristol Her

Frank W. Agan As Governor Material.

No possibility for the Vermont gov
ernorship in 1920 has thus far been
mentioned who seems to be recognized
as filing the requirements quite as well
as Frank w. Agan of Ludlow. If Mr..
Agan is candidate and is selected, the
state is certain to get a man of the most
desirable age and experience-a splendid
executive. 1t goes without saying that
Mr.. Agan would not seek or accept the
high position as an honor for himself.
To him it would be an opportunity for
service, for hard conscientious, loyal
service to the state which he loves be-
yond all else and where he has made a
conspicuous success as a captain of in
dustry. Keep the Ludlow man in mind /;
study him. The more one knows Agan
the more faith he has in him.-Rutland

The Mexican Expedition.

The pursuit of Mexican bandits by an
American armed force, following "hot
trail,' takes on peculiar interest in view
of the governments recent sharp warn
ing to Mexico. The expedition on its
face is only one more Of a series carried
out by agreement with the Mexican pres
ident and under the sanction OF interna-
tional law. It's justification is a Pc
culiarly fragrant defiance of law and or
der and an insult to the United States.

In short, the agent who manifests taste
and neatness is the same one who stands
at the head in plain business efficiency
is he not? The idea of taste has been
too intimately connected with the idea
Of ''frills" and other elements usually
associated only with Pullman nd din4
ing cars; but there is danger of becoming
too contented in that notion. Therd
is much truth in the old saying that

full, and sometimes more so."-Railway

Washington. Oct. 1s.--Renewing their
demands that the issue of tho right OF
workers to bargain collectively thru
their chosen representatives be dispos-
ed of by the national industrial con-
ference before other matters are taken
up. the labor delegates urged the COM
mittees to report back this subject
when the conference reconvenes Mon
day.
In the hope OF satisfying both labor
and apital on the question OF how en-
ployes should be represented In nego-
tiations, members of the public group
in the committee submitted several
amendments to the two resolutions to-
day. One proposal was that labor rep-
resentatives be duly certified after q
fair vote OF the employees.

with committee members before the

Plan to End Rail Strikes.
Provisions to end railroad strikes by
penalizing emtloyes who go on strilca

written into the pending railroad bill
today by the senate Interstate COM

strikes, the commission today complet,
ed the draft OF a bill to establish a per-
manent railroad policy. Government
control and operation OF the roads
would end thirty days after the enact

Arrangement was made for q fed
eral commission on wages and working
conditions. This commission would
have a number, OF regional subordinatd
com.rittaen for rsttiernept Of dlspates-
On the vote on the strike prousiOa
Senator LaFollette alone dissented. A
poll of absent members was expected
to develop other opponents. The anti
strike clauses, which are expected 70
remain in the bill as reported out next
week, followed those in the original
Cummins' bill except that tho penalties
for interfering with interstate com-
merce would apply to those who fonens
strikes.
