The Murray & Kean company, a
band of comedians who went to New
York from Philadelphia, was respon-
sible for the production. 1t was n
benefit performance for Thomas Kean,
who personally called on the leading
citizens and sold tickets. The per-

pierrot dance and The Drunken
Peasant were presented as entertain
ments between the acts"

S P E CIAL NOTICE!

l sincerely thank friends who as
sisted us during my recent illness, al
so wish to inform the wolves in
sleeps clothing that am aware Of
their whereabouts. Could l have had
the medical attention of DR.. Arcadia
my recovery would have been a
speedy one ;and would not have been
obliged to go to hospital. l have
found DR.. Ircadia to be very effici-
ent physician, also a gentleman Please
note gentleman, because l wish to
specify that particular word. There
are people in this town, who, by ac-
tons and words, proved to us that
they were not gentlemen and scarce
ly human. Why? Because they did
not value my life in the least, not be-
cause they had anything in particular
against me, but because they were
envious of DR.. Ircadia, and wished to
make serious trouble for him. Indeed
it would have been less criminal had
you given me a dose Of strychnine.
Possibly my life may be as valua-
BILE as yours. However I did not die
because hypocrites wished me to.
Several used every possible means to
try and kill me and were just walk
ing the streets waiting for the re-

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR


l ~
Editor, Barre Times: 1t is an adj
mitted fact that the greatest question
! before the legal voters OF many states
| in the union is whether everyone shall
!, have the liberty and lawful right to
drink any and every kind of intoxicat-
ing liquor.
Ever since the Ten Commandment
were handed down, no law has prob
ably been evaded and transgresscd
more than the Volstead act. And
why?
Is ii because the health OF the peo-
pie needs more intoxicants than ever
before, or il it because the thirst Is
more craving and the profits to the
maker and seller are much greater?
But they tell US that it abridges the
rights and the liberties Of the people
and should be abolished. Doesn't ev-
cry law of God and man with pen
atty attached abridge the liberties Of
the transgressor Ever since the edict
to Adam, "Thou shalt not mankind
has defied all edicts and dared and suf-
fered the consequence. Why not let
him suffer in this case? Must we re-
peal the Ten Commandments and all
criminal laws for fear of abridging the
liberty of the bootleggcr and the Grim
inal?
Keep in mind the environment Of the
present generation is greatly changed.
Everything now is run on high" es-
pecially the boose man and the boot
logger are both running on ''high' as
they come around the curve, on the
wrong side.
But win the drunkard stop drinking
If we loosen up on the Volstead law?
Will he get on the right side and slow
down around the curve, or will be be
a danger as long as he can get the
booze?
The question may come before the
next legislature and the women will
help nominate and elect the lawmak-
ers that will decide the question.
But the questions that each new
voter must decide before she casts her
vote for those lawmakers, are
]. Do | believe drunkard would
stop drinking 4 all prohibitory laws
were repealedg
2. Do | believe in giving an excessive
lrinker the liberty to drink what his |
sraving appetite calls fors
g. DO / believe legislator that is
N the habit of drinking 10 excess the
proper person to vote on this impor-
tant question when he is sober, or on
my question when is drunk? If not,
Why should vote for anyone to make
,ur laws that is often intoxicated, or
opposed to any prohibitory lawY

The forty-frst consecutive election
of Samuel Gompers as president of the
American Federation Of Labor, at the
recent convention in Cincinnati, makes
him the grand old man" of the union
labor in the United States and II put
into expressive form the regard which
union labor has for man who has
worked hard and long for the cause he
represents. Very frequently, the cry
is heard from some section of the
American Federation of Labor that
Gompers is about to have opposition
for the leadership of the organization,
and the public puts itself in an ex-
pectsnt mood to hear of the clash and
its results; but when it comes to a
showdown the opposition either van
ishes or is counted in small figures.
