ALBANS 'MESSENGER; MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1916. I It looks to us as-though the intent of the law had not been fully carried out in the writing of it. Brattleboro Reformer. The Reformer quoted with approval on Saturday The Springfield Reporter's suggestion that the sta'n papers "engage upon a campaign tr education which will result in an enforcement of the liquor law, and recruits tint nrnrtlce of total ahstinpnee. TIRED ALL THE TOE It is good to feel tired sometimes, when you have exercised sufficiently to cause a healthful feeling of fatigue.

But, you should bo refreshed by rest. A tired feeling that docs not disappear even after a night's sleep is abnormal. It means that you aro anemic or debilitated, that you need a tonic to build you up and fortify your system against such a condition. If you ilo not you aro inviting disease because thin blood means that the body's defense against the inroads of disease is lowered. Thin blood is largely the sufferer's own fault.

It results from neglect, because the blood can be built up. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills supply tho elements that the blood needs tiak.o it rich and red and to enable it to carry more oxygen. Building up the red portion of the blood is eimple but because thin blood does not call attention to itself is often neglected. Have you seriously considered taking a course of treatment with these blood-making pills? If you are in doubt write for information.

Wherever the flag goes over you'll find these lively lads "rolling their own" GENUINE gar maples tapped and 7,510,334 pounds of sugar and 605,333 gallons of syrup produced in Vermont. Tne bt. Johnsuury Caledonian in figuring the value of this product, bets its price at 10 cents a pound foi fcugar and $1 a gallon for syrup ana tinds a gross output of over $1,356, u'JU. Added to the startling figures is au untapped forest urea of 4,421, 73'i trees, which would practically duubk the state's output of this dbliclouu product, malting a possible revenue oi close on $3,000,000.

The commissioner is doing the statt a distinct and valuable service by collecting such figures, and the educational work, of the State Maple Sugar-makers' Association should result in an Increase of efficiency ii. production which would easily Increase the very considerable margin of profit. The figures of the various counties become doubly Interesting in the light of such possibilities: "The statistics show three counties with a production of over 1,000,000 poupnds of susar cacn. They are Franklin county with pounds' of sugar and 127,751 gallon of syrup. Caledonia with pounds of sugar each.

They are syrup and Orleans with 1.996,082 pounds of sugar and 8.0S7 gallons of syrup. These three counties make considerably over half of all the sugar and about a quarter of all the syrup made in the state. The income per tree in Franklin county is approximately 35 cents, in Caledonia 21, and in Orleans 21." Although Rutland county does not appear as a leader, its possibilities are very suggestive, with 263,16 available maple trees and 257.114 really tapped and producing. The gros output of maple sugar was 118 380 pounds (1914 figures) and 71,491 pounds of syrup, amounting each yea--to a very considerable sum. Windsor countv is an important factor in the situation, with 290.801 trees tapped and 427.416 available, its out-THit of sugar being 312.541 pounds and of syrup 63,597 pounds.

The samr thin? applies to Addison county, with 204,643 trees tapped and 144.502 available, except that the sugarmakers of that county seem to have more fully utilized their resources, as the output of 2S0.626 pounds of sugar and 27-543 pounds of syrup shows. It is very evident that the leadership of Franklin, Caledonia, and Orleans counties very speedily be contested by the counties adjacent t. Rutland, were the facilities of the district thoroughly utilized, and the col lation of such important data go far toward encouraging a further development. Referendum Results. Barton Monitor.

Of course the thing to do is to editorial upon the outcome of th primaries last week. To put it in th-shortest way and cover the ground one can say the Perry prohibition was snowed under, while the prima- bill becomes a law with a considerable margin in its favor. Just why the prohibitionists lost heavily is not easily explained, except to say that the people of Vermont are content with local option. If th-majority had been light there might be other explanations. The vote was not a saloon vote, however, becausi-ihe local "yes" and "no" returns show scarcely any increase in the' number of license towns, in the number of people resident in license places or in the percentage of wet votes.

The system of control only is emphatically de it BWIL' DURHAM I such as the state has never be'ore seen." We have already said, and the fact is worth emphasizing, that last Tuesday's decisive no-license vote in the state as a whole, coincident with the Vote against' the enactment of state-wide prohibition, is conelusivu proof that the sentiment of Vermont favor of temperance and against the evil of liquor-selling, was never stronger than to-day. And there was never a time when it was more clearly the opportunity and the duty, not only of the newspapers, hut of everyone who believes In temperance law enforcement, to actively support and strengthen this sentiment. The local-option law will only become weakened and ineffectual when wa become indifferent about ev forcement and look with lenience upon offenses against it. Here in Windham county public sentiment not only approves, but demands its strict enforcement. The only danger now is that under last week's overwhelming vote we may grow less watchful.

The justification for the vote against a prohibitory law must come, through a constant and impartial enforcement of our present law. Not only must bootleggers and obscure dives be summarily dealt with, but there must be no favoritism toward infractions higher Upnot if, we want public sentiment to stay behind the law. It was rottenness of enforcement which killed tho old prohibitory law, and the same state of things, if allowed to creep in, will kill the local-option law in due course. Beyond this, the really essential point: We have had a long time of writing and talking and preaching about liquor laws and methods for control, and we have found out what the people of Vermont want. Now let press and pulpit, and spellbinders and men and women.

In precept and practice, put the emphasis where it belongs; on the inculcation of temperance principles that mean something, and against habits and practices which spell ruin in the end. The final responsibility is on us all as individuals, and not on the law. Vermont Senatorial Situation. Rutland Herald.

It Is sometimes pleasant enough to consider the different notions which different persons have of the same thing. Addison. Straw Governorship Vote.

(Brattleboro Reformer. The Vermont Advance, in connection with the March meetings, conducted a straw vote to ascertain sentiment in regard to the Republican nomination for the governorship. The poll showed 145 votes for the renom-ination of Governor Gates, and the following for men who have been Horace Graham 119, James Hartnesa 119, Guy Bailey 72, F. H. Babbitt 67, Judge Weeks 52.

The vote was mainly significant in showing the popularity of the present governor. Vermont's Prison Labor. Rutland News. The question of prison labor and the product of that' labor is bound always to be a knotty one. It, i3 doubtful whether Congress will ever pass a law forbidding interstate traffic in prison-made goods of whatever kind and characters.

At the same time prison products should be of a type not to compete unfairly with products of rree labor. It is essential that inmates of penal institutions be gien healthful, useful work, and that is the aim of the prison management in Vermont. It is believed, too, that the prison labor of this state conflicts with free labor to the minimum degree. The labc also should be productive, to the end that the public expense of maintenance of criminal classes be reduced to a decree, at least. If Congress should make it impossible to ship from, one state to another any and all classes of prison-made goods, it might happen that Vermont and all other states would be forced to employ its prisoners highway work which certainly wouldn't be unfortunate.

Major Tompkins'. Prize Mount. Northfield News. In a recent issue of The Saturday evening Post Is an article called "The Desert which deals with the strength and endurance of the purebred Arab horse and is of particular interest to people of this vicinity because of the reference to a former commandant of Norwich University, which says: "On October 30, 1912, Captain Prank Tompkins rode the pure-bred Arab stallion Razzia from Northfield, Vermont to Fort Ethan Allen, a distance of fifty-one miles, and back the same day. The horse, which stood 14.2 hands high and weighed nine hundred and fifty pounds, carried a hundred and seventy-five pounds on his back.

The most important feature in the performance, however, was that after this journey of a hundred and two miles in a single day he showed no weariness and was in condition the next morning to repeat the feat." Major Tompkins was a great admirer of all good horse flesh and particularly of the Morgan horse, and while stationed at Norwich interested himself in the Vermont Morgan Horse Breeder's association. The norse which Major Tompkins rode on the test ride was an Arabian stallion, which was in the Norwich stables during Major Tompkin's stay here and was his personal property.

Some idea of the extent of the plo susar industry in Vermont is given, by the report of the commissioner of agriculture, which shows that in the year 1915 there were 5,294,933 su- BAD DREAMS ARE SYMPTOMS HI Health the Cause Many Alarming Symptoms of Women's Ailments-How Cured.

Sometime ago I felt so run down, had paina in my back and side, was very irregular, tired, nervous, had such bad dreams, did not feel like eat ing and had short breath. I read your advertisement in the newspapers and decided to try a bottle of Lydia E. Pink-ham's Vegetable Compound.

It worked from the first bottle, so I took a second and a third, also a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Blood Purifier, and now I am just as well as any other woman. I ad' vise every woman, single or married, who is troubled with any of the afore said ailments, to try your wonderful Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier and I am sure they will help her to get rid of her troubles."

6. (a) The name of any person shall be printed upon the primary ballot as a candidate for nomination by any party for any office indi-, en ted, if a petition or petitions containing the requisite number of signatures as hereinafter provided, made by members of the party, in the following form, are filed with the secretary of state or county or town clerks, together with the written assent of said person to tho printing of his name on said ballot, etc. Justice Hughes and Theodore Roosevelt, and Elihu Root have each refused to allow the printing of their names on the primary ballot in other states. There is no reason to expect they will consent to the printing of their name on the primary ballot in Vermont. If they do not, how will the people who wish to vote for them "vote directly for their choice for that office?" Again we would respectfully ask with whom the petitions for a presidential candidate are to be filed? Paragraph (g) of section six says: (g) Primary petitions shall be filed is follows: for United States sena-ors, representatives to congress, and ill officers on the state ticket, with 'he secretary of state; for officers on the county ticket, with the county clerk; for representative to the general assembly with the town clerk, etc.

So far as we can see this is all the provision made in the law for filing petitions. Section Twelve reads: Sec. 12. Persons voted for at primary held under this act who receive a plurality of all the votes cast by a party shall be candidates of that party for the offices designated on the What is the difference between "a plurality of all votes cast" and a majority? Does the law really specify that a candidate must have a majority In order to get his name on the official ballot?

Now let the local optionlsts, few whom claim to bo for the saloon, and the prohibitionists join hands and drive the legal saloon from the wet towns.

Let us join hands and put the illegal seller out of business. Let us make the local option law as tight as possible. Let us enforce the present law. The agitation has not been in vain From the standpoint of a newspaper that stood for the Perry measure urleans county is the greatest comfort left, for did not this county stand for prohibition? The majority volt was for the Perry measure and 15 ol ts is towns save a majority for it. The nearer home we got the better tKitisfied we aro becauso Barton gave tho perry measure the largest majority of any town or city in the state.

A sad feature of the vote in Orleans county as well as in the entire state was the "stay-at-home" crowd. Their ote woul dprobably not have chang ed the verdict, but it is a depressing feature of an important referendum to find that one voter out of every six or seven in the staite finds excuses for staying away from tho polls. The primary law was passed and will go into effect at once. While the Monitor favored this law. it is loubtful if the benefits to be derived from it are as great as its advocates claim.

The first trial of the law will rnmp on the sixteenth of May this year when a presidential primary will be held.

The Burlington Free Press. another advocate of the law, says: "The chief advantage of the direct primary in a presidential contest is that it allows the voters to vote directly for their choice for that office. so that the state convention and the delegation elected need not to the position of the voters of the state." That evidently Is the intent of the law and Is a desirable object But let us see how It will work this year There is no ouestion that the mem- bers of the Republican party would be glad to vote for Charles E. Hughes, Theodore Roosevelt or Elihu Root for president, and if allowed to vote for them in the primary one of these three men would receive a plurality we believe it would be Hughes, i irviut nnrl nunv nthnn n'anlrt lit at Aa, Ar I I ratea witn a scienwKsnna or sorr 1 Ax asphalts, thefpnrasJthe Generals bofdXof chemists.
