Going for Page.

The comments Of certain of the State
press on the outcome of the first dis
trict contest are interesting, if not pl-
ways edifying. Some are improving
the opportunity to rub it into "the
great defeated" in way that is neither
just nor decent. Stand Carroll s. Page
up TO be put to death otter the old
fashion of stoning for the offences his
critics ellege against him, line his ac-
cusers up before him with the injunc-
ton to him who is guiltless to hurl the
first brickbat, and unless, with the du-
plicity practiced in the late canvass,
the injunction was disregarded, Mr..
Page would go unscathed. The mis-
siles might more consistently proceed
from the hand of the accused to smite
his accusers. Their comments on his
campaigning are for the most pert rank
Pharisaism, when they are not also
born Of malice.
Mr.. Page has deserved we'll of Yer
mont, and of the Republican party of
Vermont. When his remarkable ener-
gy, resources and capacity for organiza-
ton were employed for the benefit of
the organization in the State and the
nation at large, he was hero and a
benefactor. When he employed the
powers of Office to protect the savings
of the people of the State he ran afoul

Washington County Convention

Washington county Republicans did
their work we'll in the convention of
Friday. They started out by declaring
their steadfsst adherence to the candi-
dacy of W. p. Dillingham; for the Office
of United States Senator. That was
the KEY note OF the convention, and it
kept the key to the end.
The nomination of Zed S. Stanton
and Joseph A. DeBoer as Senators
was made with only such opposing
votes as served to emphasize the fact
that the towns of the county have a
clear conception of the supreme State
issue In the pending canvass, the cleo
ton of United States Senator, and
periodically made every other consid-
Grafton subservient to that issue. Barre
gracefully withdrew its senatorial can
didate, Mr.. w. F. Morse, and contrib.
uted the strength OF Its large delega-
ton to swell the majority for Mr.. De
Boer, q generous act OF self-denial that
merits and receives the recognition il
deserves. Woodbury. improved the OPP
portunity to register the fact that it
has a candidate for the senatorship in
whom it and its neighbors believe, and
for whom they will stand when the
propitious time comes to seek his nom-
ination. Recognizing the supremacy
of the one issue of this canvass, the

Venison is only two cents pound,
at St. Johns, Newfoundland. 1t Is
the staple food during the first Ave
months of the year, in which they
are isolated, except by cable, from the
rest of the world. Two or three thou
sand caribou are killed every autumn
and the flesh is cured or sailed down
for winter use. In spite of this whole-
sale slaughter the number of deer on
the island shows no diminution.

Dillingham's credit for wisdom and
honesty, and will strengthen him with
the class in whose esteem and conf
dence the purpose was to injure him.
The measure cited by the Record-and
then stops-if enacted, would have
been no ldw at all. This was made
clear to the Legislature, and to the
farmers in that body, as the proceed
ings the Record suppresses show; and
the measure that afforded the maximum
of lawful protection was then proposed
and enacted into law, and Mr.. Dilling-
ham counseled, spoke and voted for
that measure, and it became law.

A year ago Secretary Gage estimated
that the fiscal year would end with a
surplus of S40,O0O,C0O in the treasury
of the United States. He arrived at
this conclusion by placing a conserva-
tive estimate on the revenue receipts,
and maximum estimate on expendi-
lures. Receipts are over $26 900 900
in excess Of estimates, and expendi-
lures some 100000 less. The cons,
quence is that the actual surplus is
$4,000, 900, or about double the pru-
dent fnancier's figures of year ago.
1t was not ever thus under the preced-
ing administration. Yawning deficits,
filled by bond issues, and an increas-
ing public debt marked the end of the
6scel years under the Cleveland regime,

November to continue this order OF

State and district conventions, with
their inter-party rivalries and antago-
nisms, are past, and there is deep
feeling of relief in the Republican
camp. Energy that has been employed
in internecine strife may now be direc-
ted against the common foe. The
United States senatorship abides as an
object of contention of increasing in
tensity, and source of responsibility
greater than all the issues settled by
the recent assemblages of the repre-
sentatives of Vermont Republicans.
With clean hands and high purpose
to settle this question for the good fame
end best Interests of the State at large,
the canvass for the senatorship should
proceed.

Says the Boston Transcript: "There
must be something like revolution in
progress within the Republican party
of Vermont. Otherwise it is impos-
sible to account for the defeat of both
Congressman Powers and Candidate
Page by David j. Foster of Burlington
in the first district Republican conven-
ton. 1t was a case of "the field"
against the favorite. Elk Gov. Page is
an able man who has NADIA an extern
sive and presumably expensive cam
paign for the nomination against Con-
gresham Powers" Revolutions, it is
said, never go backward If this is
true the Transcript is in error in char
acterizing the late eruption in the fist
district, for the nomination of Foster
is distinctly retrograde movement
both in men and morals.

Nightmare appears to have become
the chronic condition of the Grout ed
itor. Here are some of the incoheren-
cies the Hardwick Gazette man is
mumbling in double leads:
when they (the Dillingham; papers) assert
hat Gen. CIRCUITS support is confined to the
most thickly wooded portion of Vermont,
where the natives live in log huts and are
not as yet aware that Abraham Lincoln has
passed into the great beyond-when they
fire off, such rot as this, then we have to
smile"
Well, when have the Dillingham; pa
pers "tired off such rotp" Haven't the
Grout editors anything better to say for
their candidate, anything better to do
than inventing and printing "such
rot as this?' If the Gazette editor
"smiles" only when he sees the stuff of
his own breeding in Dillingham; papers,
his countenance relaxes only when he
finds his maunderings reproduced as
evidence of the poverty of the Grout
cause in sense and reason.

THE SENSES OF SAVAGES.
A Scientific View of Their Alleged
Acuteness of the Faculties of Hear

A Scientific View of Their Alleged
| Acuteness of the Faculties of Hear
ing, Smell, Etc.
! In his last lecture on the Senses of
Primitive Man." w. H. r. Rivers dis
cussed the acuteness of hearing in saw
] ages. In this respect none of the Torres
| Straits natives were superior to one of
the Europeans composing the expedi-
ton, while the majority were inferior.
No great weight, however, could be at
tached to the observations, because all
the people were divers-an occupa ton
that certainly damaged the ears to
some extent. To investigate their range
of hearing Gallon whistle was used,
and it was shown that they could hear
very high notes. Their sense of smell
was tested by means of a series of tubes
containing solutions, of varying
strength, of odorous substances like val
erian and camphor and the results,
while not altogether satisfactory, tend
ed to show they had no marked superb
GRITTY in this respect over the members
of the expedition. With regard to
taste it was very difficult to get infor-
nation, as the natives naturally
enough, did not like strange objects be-
ing put into their mouths One fact
however, was noticed, which was inter
esting when 1t was remembered that
sweet and bitter were probably our
most definite taste sensations, and that
was the complete absence of any word
for bitter. For the sense of tempera-
ture the data were very scanty but 1t
was found that the natives had points
on their skin specially sensitive to cold,
exactly as was the case with Europeans
AS to touch, when tested to see how
close the points Of a pair of compasses
must be put an the skin before they
ceased to be felt as two, their sensitive
ness was in general better than that of
the members of the expedition. As to
pain, there was consensus of opinion
that savages were less sensitive than
Europeans, but there was always the
doubt whether they were really able to
bear pain with more 4fortitude How
ever, the conclusion that the Murray Is
lapders We're distinctly less sensitive
than the Europeans in the expedition
was supported not only by their subjec-
tive tests depending on the condition of
the blood pressure. In the dscrimina-
ton Of weight it was curious that these
natives who had no abstract idea of
weight and no word to express it, and
who, moreover, could have had no prac-
tice, were more accurate than prac-
ticed European. Finally DR.. Rivers
while commenting on the defective
knowledge of some of the senses he had
treated and on the absence Of compare
tive data, concluded that in general the
sense organs of the savage were not
markedly superior to those of the nor
NAL of average Europeans, and that the
recorded instances of apparent extra
ordinary acuteness were to be explained
by his habits Of observation and special

er the man or the body enthroned in the
consciousness makes a radical life diff
ference. One must rule and the other
must serve. If the instrument dominate
the owner, there is trouble, Inver-
sion is disorderly and disastrous. With
the man in full command, the body is
harmonious servitor If otherwise, 1t is
tyrant. In the proportion that a
spiritual consciousness Is cultivat-
cd, there is growing sense of COM
mand of the invisible instrument. AS
man assumes the prerogatives Of his
divine being, and knows that he is
spiritual dynamo, here and now he
wieldts new forces and grasps supernal
powers and privileges, He comes into
'at-onement' with the divine creative
principle, and, from a condition of vas
salage, finds himself a prince of the
realm"
Faith in the power Of thought, the
absolute mastery Of mind over matter,
is a fundamental requirement of those
who would become converts to the New
Thought" This requirement having
been met the New Thought followers
assert that their philosophy or religion,
or whatever it may be called, becomes,
at once, for man, woman/and child the
most practical of all philoeophiee or re-
ligions and its practically may be de-
monstrated in the everyday affairs OF
life as the practicality of no other re-
ligious or philosophical system can be
demonstrated If one wants to better
his station in life all he has to do is to
apply the principles of the New
Thought and his desire ie accomplish

sonable and proper limits, the New
Thought" will provide a way to obtain
them; if advancement in ones profess
sion or business, the New Thought
will point the way to such advance
ment. And, incidentally, If the sick
would be healed, the New Thought
will prove to be the greatest physician.
1t must be realized, it is said at the
outset, that. although thought is all
powerful, its power may be invoked only
for the qualification of laudable and
reasonable desires If it's power be in
voked to crafty unrea sonable or un7
holy desires, then the power asserts it.
self, but works evil rather than good,
IA radical distinction between the
new philosophy Of life and Christian
science or faith healing is that philos-
ophy is vastly more than merely new
therapeutic competition, which will
strive for place among existing sys-
tens. It's province is quite distinct Its
motive is compliance with orderly law,
and it contains no elements which are
magical or supernatural. While believ-
ing that there are many objective aids

nizes no external authority as located

regards as significant at the present
juncture ofpolitical affairs. Hesays;
-Four times has the occupant Of
the presidential office been a candi-
date against the man whom he de-
feated four years before and never
yet has the president been successful
in second contest. Senator Young
cites each instance; John Adams
and Thomas Jefferson in 1900; John
Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson
in 1928; Martin Van Buren, and Viii
liam Henry Harrison in 1910; Benja-
min Harrison and Grover Cleveland
in 1892. Assuming that both Bry-
an aud Mckinley will be reuomina-
ted, the same parallel will occur this
year, aud il would seem, If the par
nllcl is TO remain unbroken, Ia is Mr.,
