ing the platforms of some of the
new members all three are in
dire need of help. Over in Min
neapolis one woman member Of
the house announces that her
chosen task is the restoration of
the direct primary. At last ac-
counts the direct primary law
was still on the statute books and
going strong.

tax on royalties, extensive
amending of the state highway
act, a cut in the membership of
the state board Of control, repeal
of the BrooksColeman street
railway control law and also the
repeal of the state political con-
vention act. The legislation
mentioned comprises but a small
portion of the work in contem-
plation. In both houses more
than sixty per cent of the mem
bership is new and such ordi-
narily delays organization. but
to their credit a majority of the
members of both houses have
practically gotten together which
means that the opening of the
session will be minus the usual
scramble for place. In the house
q majority of the members have
endorsed the speakership candi-
dacy of w. |. Nolan Of Minnea-
polls and that of Oscar Arneson
Of st. Paul for chief clerk while
i'm the senate it is said a MAORI
ty of the members have signifed
their intention of not interior
ing with Lieut.. Governor Collins
in the distribution of the COM
mitteeships. Some of the senate
old timers claim they have
enough to control, but it is hair
trigger proposition at the best
and a fight. if there is such, will
be centered on the naming of
the committee on rules. Nolan's
endorsement for speaker was
given at a recent caucus of house
held in St. Paul and
was practically without opposi-
ton. Oscar Swenson of Nicolett
County appeared as a rival, but
he did not press his candidacy.
1t is possible that the Nonparti-
san League and the Farmer-La-
Dor element of the two bodies
will have an organization slate
when the two houses convene,
but they will not get very far.
In the senate it is said that
James A. Carley may head the
opposition forces. Senator Car
ley is reported to be nursing a
grievance and that his objective
is the state administration.

With the next state election
nearly two years off and the
voters pretty we'll fed on things
political, it would seem that the
King Makers might have heart
and lay off for awhile, but such
it appears is not to be. Already
they are at it and the states in
preparation have for their best
bets any number Of state cele-
brities and men big in the politi-
cal game. Just now Judge Oscar
Hallam Of the state supreme
court has the spot light. with
Congressman Frank Clague a
close second. Both are mention
ed rs possible successors to Sena-
tor Knute Nelson and some of the
gossips go so far as to intimate
that the hats of both are already
in the ring. If such is the case
neither have officially said so.
1t is admitted though that the
two are receptive. Other not
ab'es mentioned in connection
with the senatorship are Ripley
Brewer Of St. Cloud. Congress-
man Sydney Anderson Of the
First district and Congressman
Tom Schall Of the Tenth district,
That the Farmer-Iabor crowd is
likewise busy is Indicated in q

The clamor for jobs in con-
nection with the coming session
of the legislature is said to be
unprecedented. Among the most
insistent are former members of
the house and according to one
member they number score or
more. Most of >the applicants
were defeated at the recent cleo
ton. Another source of supply
is the large number of county
officers who are also unseated as
a result of the November land
slide.

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1922-01-05

Judge Alton B. Parker of New York.
although a lawyer of some prominence, is
best known to the public at large as a
former candidate for president of the Uni
ted States. He was perhaps the most in
significant candidate that ever ran for
president. He was merely an incident in
the career of Theodore Roosevelt.
Parker? Let's see; Parker? Who
was he?" the public of today asks in a
hesitating way. The name sounds famil-
lar. oh yes, He's the man whom Roose-
welt swamped in the 1904 presidential
campaign"
Judge Parker appeared before the Yer
mont Bar Association in public address
at Montpelier Tuesday night. He told
his audience that lawyers owed their
country the duty of moulding public opin-
ion, since the press and the church had
fallen down on the job. He urged the
members of the bar to act unfettered by
partisan zeal, whatever that might mean.
Judge Parker had this to say in regard
TO the press moulding public opinion
The press has fallen down on the job.
The press, though it has ample power to
perform this great task (mould public
opinion,1 has neither the sincerity nor ju-
dicial qualities necessary. 1t is fun of
partisanship, prejudice, fickleness and a
pedantic egOtism that, though not pre-
cisely childish. smacks of the undergrad
uatc."
The judicial qualities" phrase. an adj
. roit pat on the back for the lawyers,
pleased them. There was applause. Such
is the way of the world. Lawyers arc
human, and subject to flattery as much
as any other class of professional men.
One wonders what sort of public opin-
ion Parker moulded by his slur at the
press and the church. OF course there
are really great lawyers who do mould
opinion, whether they may consider il
! their duty to their country or not. But
Judge Parker isn't one of them.

made from roots and herbs in preference
to the new tangled patent medicines on
the market | remember that when ]
had Indigestion, was COnstpated, had a
Headache or my stomach was out of or

Colds and Grippe frequently will leave
you with weak kidneys aud aching back.
The kidneys get overworked fighting off a
cold or a contagious disease. When the
stomach is out of order, the kidneys and
liver not working properly, a few doses
of SEVEN BARKS will stimulate the
liver and kidneys, regulate the flow Of
bile, expel distressing acids and danger
Gus poisons, and quickly restore you back
to good digestion.
For nearly half of century SEVEN
BARKS has been recognized as one of
the most reliable remedies for correcting
and preventing disorders of the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. 1t is abso-
lutely safe, made from the extracts of
roots and herbs, scientifically blended,
If you have never tried SEVEN
BARKS do not fail to do so, and watch
the rapid and wonderful results. Your
druggist keeps it, or will get it for you.
