Olive Tablets

A pimply face will not embarrass you
much longer if you get package of
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. The skin
should begin to clear after you have
taken the tablets few nights.
Cleanse the blood, bowels and liver
with DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the
successful substitute for calomel; there's
no sickness or pain after taking them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do that
which calomel does, and just as effec-
lively, but their action is gentle and
safe instead of severe and irritating.
No one who takes Olive Tablets is
ever cursed with a dark brown taste, :
bad breath. a dull, hstless. mo good
feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad
disposition or pinply face.
Olive Tablets are 4 purely vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you will
know them by their olive color.
DR.. Edwards spent years among pa
tents afflicted with liver and bowel
complaints, and Olive Tablets are the
immensely effective result. Take one or
two nightly for a week. See how much
better you feel and look, l0c and 25c.

1t looks very much as if the officials

on the assumption that the corporation
is in no way responsible FOR the extern

While this is contrary to the course
some people predicted the company
would take, and an attitude which The
Meddler believes is likely to prove
ill-advised i'll the long run, it is never
theless one the company has perfect
right to pursue. The issue will in al
likelihood be raised on the question OF
fact concerning the actual cause OF

Walter b. GRnn. president of the

urge the people of Lamoille county to

the liquor interests of the state and

he thinks Babbtt the only man who
can defeat Agan for the nomination.

FRIDAY. APRIL Is, 1920.
TEST OF PUBLIC OPINION.

In refusing to enact a law restrain
ing strikes by employees of public serv-
ice utilities congress has thrown the
duty of preventing and regulating such
strikes on public opinion. The railroad
labor board created by congress has
no power TO enforce its decisions on the
parties in dispute but is dependent
upon public opinion to bring about the
adoption of its recommendations.
Public opinion is a powerful force
and rather prompt in its decisions but
it can hardly be claimed it is an eff
cient preventative Of industrial in1us-
tiec and public inconvenience. The
New York Times declares it an old
truth that no strike can be successful
unless it is supported by public opin-
ion and that public opinion is unani
mously against the present strike in
which the public sees no essential ele-
ment of justice. The correctness of
this statement is not questioned but
the fact is the strike has been put intO
effect and it has stopped the distribu-
tion of food and fuel to very danger
lions of other workers getting to and
from their work and has curtaiIed their
earning power. Public opinion has not
given the public protection from these
/ damaging and dangerous conditions
simply because it had no way of en-
forcing its verdict or imposing a pen
atty upon those ignoring it.
Perhaps the suggestion of Chauncey
| NJ. Depew would increase the efficiency
of public opinion. 1t certainly woult
strengthen it through organization. HI
says the only way to stop one section
I class or occupation from preventing
other occupations from performin!
their functions is to form union o.
the middle class men and women, wh'
constitute so or 90 per cent of our pop
ulation. that union to declare that :" al
classes shall be treated fairly, squarely
rightly, justly and righteously.' 1t Ger
tainly would be a big task to brini
such a proportion of the people int
one organization, but if it could b
done public sentiment might be stron
enough to prevent and suppress de
structive strikes. Meanwhile we mus
utilize public opinion as it exists, al
: though there is little certainty it wi
prove powerful enough to regulat
/ outlaw labor outbreaks in time t
4 prevent hardship.

The Meddler has never been strong
for the idea of putting macadam
surface on Main street this summer,
and the continuous trouble the Twin
State Co. seems to be having with its
gas main makes the feasibility of the
proposition all the more doubtful in
his mind. The Twin State people say
that the leaks which have required so
much digging this spring are due to
the excavation for the Main street sur
face sewer, and this is probably true
But it is also a fact that if the Main
street gas main were not practically
worn out such disturbance as il has un.
dergone would not have caused half the
trouble it has. The simple truth OF
the matter is that this main is not only
worn out but is insufficient to furnish
the volume of gas which the needs Of
its territory require. The sooner tho
company frankly acknowledges this sit
uation and installs new main of AIDE
quate size the better off it will be TO
all concerned including the compan,
itself.
