Mr. Pomeroy's secretary in comment
ing upon Mr.. Pomeroys brief state

refrained from telling Of the thousands
OF cases OF stomach trouble which had
been successfully treated with his great
discovery, and all of them without
charge. Only recently, at thu sur
gesticn Of group Of business men and
capitalists, he consented to permit the
use of his medicine as a commercial
product, ana only when It was demon
suated to him that in no other way
could he hope to reach and benefit
hundreds Of thousands of people who
really needed his medicine. It was
shown to him that he could only reach
limited number through his own per
sonal work, whereas, II his medicine
was introduced through the recognized
channels Of trade, and was properly
advertised, that every sufferer would
have an opportunity to benefit from
mis- great discovery.
However, Mr.. Pomeroy would not
agree to this unless with every bottle
Of his medicine there would be also
given guarantee Of money refunded

THE PEACE TREATY
SITUATION

The statesmen at Washington have
now talked eight months about the
peace treaty. The people have had
no chance to do much talking that
can be heard at WashinCtoii. But
that does not mean that they are not
interested. J. tn. c. trAlN Il sontl-
ment of deep indignation is mani
tested that the world settlement hu~

Europe is on the verge OF anarchy.
as it struggles with hunger and dos
pair. America is the dominating fac
tor, and nothing can be done until
America is willing to act. Everything
waits the pleasure Of America, Who
dallies while statesmen Quihhle.
If the people could got a chance to
act on this question, they would set
tie it very promptly, and or Il basis
making for world peace and assuring
the safety of America.
The great majority Of the Amc'i-
can people want some kind of
League of Nations. TEey believe that
it takes united action to get things
done in this world They do not sec
how peace can be secured unless some
kind of organization is formed
through which the nations can act
together. At the same time they Go
not propose to sacrifice the indcpcn-
dent rights Of this country. They ito
rot intend to have any American
army ordered into Europe BY a
League of Nations, without the full
and free consent and approval of the
representatives Of the American
people.
If this peace treaty becomes an is
sue in the coming campaign, it is an
issue that will cut very deep and wide
Those who have been quibbling over
trifing differences, who have thwart-
ed the desire of the people for prompt
action, or who have failed to protect
the right Of the United States to
maintain its own independent rights
under all circumstances, will
themselves marked for slaughter.

Governor Clement Looking Backward
bennington Banner)
Governor Clement has turned down
the unanimous request of he Repub-
lican state committee asking for a
special session to act on the equal
suffrage amendment. Probably nCtn-
ing else could ne expected from Mr..
Clement. Due to i'll health and adj
vancing years TIE governor has lost
his perspective and persists in looking
backward instead of forward. The
arguments he uses are without weight
and will satisfy only those so set in
opposition to equal suffrage that they
can hardly be expected to lool; at the
question on its merits. The issue lust
now is out of m oportion to most ma
tional questions with which Vermont
has to do, for the reason that tic self
willed view taken by Governor Glenn
ent will probably prevent ratification
of the amendment in season to give
the women of the United states the
vote for president this year. Up to
March list, 33 states had ratified and
three more arc required. The pos
sibilities are West Virginia, Delaware.

RECENT DEATHS

On the morning Of March 9th, Mrs.

they went to Bradford for a time,
later moving to Barnet and finally to
st. Johnsbury, where they have lived
for over 25 years. Three childro'
were born to them, but two die in
infancy.
Mrs. Wilson led very quiet life be-
cause Of impaired cyeSight, but she
bore hel. affliction with rare patience,
and cave unstintingly of herself to
bring JOY and comfort to others. she
was a queen in her home, and unset
fish and gentle with all whose lives
shu touched. Her neighbors and
many devoted friends will long miss
her thoughtfulness and loyalty.
Her loss is most kecnly felt by her
husband, after fifty years of married
life, and an only daughter, Mrs. Alice
Galbraith, and little granddaughter,
Marion Galbraith of Passumpsic. She
is also survived by Il brother and SIS
ter, Ira Albce. and Mrs Charles
Parker of Barnet.
The funeral was held at her late
home on Main street at two O'CLOCK
ON Monday. Her pastor, Rev. George
A. Martin, conducted the service,
Mrs. Ethel G. Stiles sang two OF her
favorite hymns, and Rev. Mr.. Pierce
of Passumpsic made the prayer.
The many beautiful flowers spoke
silently of love and high esteem. The
burial was in Mount Pleasant ceme-
terry.
Our Home Maker
Where the mountains slope to the
westward,
And their purple chalices hold
The new made wine of the sunset
Crimson and amber and gold.
She has stood to welcome our coming,
Watching our upward climb,
In the summer weather that brought
us,
Oh, many and many time!
Again is her doorway opened,
And the house is garnished and sweet,
But she silently waits for our coming,
And we enter with silent feet.
A little within she is waiting,
Not where she has met us before;
For over the pleasant threshold
She is only to cross once more.
The smile on her face is quiet,
And a flower is on her breast,
Her hands are folded together,
And the word on her lips is crest"
And yet it looks like welcome,
For hef work is comprised and done;
All things are seenly and ready,
And her summer is just begun.
1t is we who many not cross over,
Only with song and prayer
A little way into glory
We may reach, as we leave her there.
But we cannot think of her idle;
She must be a home-maker still,
God giveth that work to the angels,
Who fittest the task fulfill.
And somewhere yet, in the hilltops
Of the country that hath no pain,
She will watch in her beautiful door
way
TO bid us a welcome again.
