THE ORANGE COUNTY DEAL.

Editor of Watchman and Journal:-Henry
Waterson was reported to have advised the
Democrats of Kentucky to shut their eyes
and take the Goebel ticket straight, as they
did their whiskey; but conscientious and
self-respecting Republicans of Orange coun-
ty will need to hold their noses as we'll as
shut their eyes to swallow the bad eggs
that were mixed into the dose prepared for
them by the political doctors at our late
county convention.
pers-tell us IL we would set the pace by a
good Republican majority this fall, we must
quit quarreling among ourselves, 4. O., take
the dose we give you. But there is no ne.
cessity that we should endorse Tammany
methods for that purpose. We know of no
rotten eggs in the State ticket. We can
give that good old.fashioned majority and
at the same time help our State by keeping
unworthy men out OF the Legislature. 1t is
better to send no representative from town
or county than to send the bargain counter
stamp OF men. IL will take more than
two columns of the Groton Times to straight.
en- out the "angles" OF that ticket so it will
run on straight road.
Whatever others may do, there Is one
Republican in the county who cannot be
delivered to Bill Wall by any bargaining
demagogue. II must vote for a Democrat
1 prefer to vote for a true one, every time,
rather than for one WHO is sailing under
raise colors, and II the Democratic candi.
date for Senator in the Randolph district is
decent man l wish he may be elected
rather than Mr.. Wall.

tussel Doherty was dragged into the corri-
dor and placed in chair and Officers De.
merritt and Whittier stood guard over him
while the other officers cleaned the cell He

UNION SERVICE.

Notwithstanding the intense heat large
| congregation gathered at Trinity church
| Sunday evening at the union service held
in the interest of local Young Mems
Christian Association. Rev. @. O. Judkns
was assisted in the preliminary services by
Rev. DR.. N rmsn Sesver aud Rev. w. j.
Cloues
Special music was rendered by quar-
tette composed of Mrs. r. II. Merrill, Mrs
f. III. Puffer, II. s. Chapman and w. s.
smith, Il. L.. Leonard, cornetst, Master
Fred Whittier, violinist, and Miss II. Julia
Cross: Mr.. Leonard played "The Lost
Chord" with rare purity OF tone and perfec-
tion OF execution, the quartette sang "Come
My Soul, Thou Must Be Waking" Mrs
Merrill and Miss Cross sang duet and the
quartette rendered "When L Have Crossed
the Bar" with violin obligato by Master
Whittier
The principal address of the evening was
given by Secretary Merrill on "The Young
Mems Christian Association" Mr.. Mer-
rill argued that outside the church the
Young Mems Christian Association has
done more than any other agency to help
young men. He traced the early history OF
the movement from its inception in London
in 1871, and its birth in that city in 1874,
under the leadership OF George Williams,
down to the present time, when it circles
the globe with over 5000 associations and
membership OF over 500, 900.
Secretary Merrill showed that In Ameri-
ca the movement is commended and sup
ported by men prominent in every business
and profession, who believe the association
work stands for the salvation and chris
tian culture OF young men, coupled with all
arouEd work OF the broadcast sort.
In closing Mr.. Merrill dwelt upon the
work OF the local association during the
five years Of its existence. It's future sue
cess depends upon two |things-men and
money. 1t was the hope OF all who heard
him that Mr.. Merrill's prophetic vision of
the Montpelier Associs ion may prove a
reality.
Rev. C. 0. Judkins followed Secretary
Merrill in few earnest words, picturing
the Young Mems Christian Association as
the strong right hand of the church, and as
feeder for all the churches, which needs
not only men and money but appreciation.
1t is power for good which the churches
OF MONTPELIER cannot afford to ignore, but
with which they should work in Christian
fellowship and with the closest harmony.

DEAD TO THE WORLD
And Blind TO His Own Interest

A man must be to throw our Real Estate
opportunities over his shoulder. The cheapest
way to live on the top shelf is to own home
and to save the difference between rent and
the small amount required for taxes and in
surance. Through us good property may
also be secured which will pay a handsome
annual dividend and increase in value.

ATTITUDE IN CHINA.
Americas attitude has been UNMARRIED
and was first broadly defined by circu-
countrys policy as then defined being TO
seek solution which may bring about
permanent safety and peace 70 emma,

anteed to friendly powers by treaty and
international law and safeguard 1or the
world the principle of equal and impair
tial trade with all parts 81 the tmnese
Of IN az the to pshts
and interests OF all nations, there mas
since been added the question of repara-
ton for injuries received the past sum-
mer and the indemnity for the expenses ms :
necessarily incurred in connection with
the relief of the legations. On this point
the president says: I'VE forego no jot
Of our undoubted right to exact exem-
plary and deterrent punishment OF tn inc
whereby we and other nations nave SUI
fered grievous injury
While the hope Is expressed tEat
complete settlement Of all the questions
involved may be reached it is admitted
that the question of indemnity Is one or
grave concern" as measured In money
alone, sufficient recompense may pc
beyond the power of China to pay. The
president is disposed to think, however
that due compensation may be made by
increased guarantees for foreign rights
and immunities and ''by the opening or
China to the equal commerce OF al' the
world"

Of men necessary to perform this duty alone

ffty-eight or more military posts In the Unit

The republic was never SO strong, be-

THE DOUGLAS SHOE.

The best advertised and consequent
ly the best known shoe in the world
today is undoubtedly made by the w.
l.. Douglas Shoe Co., OF Brockton.
Mass. The one idea of this company
has always been to sell shoe for
$3.50 which equals In every way the 50
shoes OF any other concern. They are
able to do this on account OF there be-
ing no middle mans profit. as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
to the wearer. In 60 of the principal
cities of the country they have their
own retail stores. The goods are made
In all sizes and widths. and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs
over LOO hands. and all labor tron-
bles are settled by the state board OF
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
is employed. and pay about the best
average wages OF any shoe workers In
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to $i7. .i25 per week. This
company makes shoes for men only.
and II is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denyei
