REPUBLICAN RALLY.
Senator Proctor, Gen. Mccullough
and Cong. Foster Given Ovation:
Great Enthusia asm.

The weather could not have been
worse yesterday for the big republican
rally. 1t rained steadily all the fore
noon, rendering an out door meeting i'm
possible. Long before two o'clock the
town hall was packed to overflowing.
1t seats 500; over 200 chairs were
brought in every inch of standing room
was taken and 300 could not get in, but
stood up outside. The enthusiasm was
spontaneous and irrepressible.
Governor Stewart presided and intro
duced the speakers in his usual happy
manner. The first speaker was F. ID.
Raymond of Fair Haven who gave fair,
candid statement of the issues of the
campaign. He was high license man
and said, If he was not satisfied with
the position of Gen. Mccullough and
the republican party on this issue he
should vote straight for Felix McGet-
trick, who was honest and straight
forward, rather than for renegade
republican.
Governor Stewart introduced General
Mccullough as his life long personal
friend and one whom he knew was as
honorable and honest man as there was
| in the State. lie was most enthusiast
ically welcomed, and his speech was often
and vigorously applauded. If elected, he
pledged himself to give the State an
honest, economical administration, and
to reduce State expenses wherever pos
sible without detriment to the best in
terests of the State. The other parts of
the speech were as given elsewhere, dur
ing the campaign.
Senator Redfield Proctor, who has Just
returned from trip through the Domi-
Mon of Canada, stopped off at Middlebury
to speak word to the Republicans of
Vermont. His appearance upon the stage
was the signal for very hearty applause
that increased as he proceeded In
his able and convincing address,
He said in part: | am here simply be-
cause am republican, in all years, and
every day in every year. Let the oppo-
/ sltlOll SllON WHY we suOuIt liOl ali NC
true to the republican party. This elec-
ton will be far reaching in its effect upon
the nation. What about increase In State
expenses: Have not the expenses of in
dividuals ,laboring men and all increased
Do not all receive value received for what
they pay in increased comforts, etc. Not
dollar of the increased State expenses
has been used dishonesty or for any but
the highest good of the State. The
republican party is the party of honest
reform. Not reform on paper just before
election, for effect.
He closed with an eloquent appeal tC
every republican to be true to the party
1t was vitally important to vote the
republican ticket September >.
Congressman Foster was the last
speaker and made good impression
notably by the apt and new stories he
told to emphasized his points, and also a:
a solid, argumentative speaker. The
audience all felt proud of their Congress
man when he finished.

Chicago Detectives Make Raid on Mat

rlmon1al Agencies.
 Chicago, Sept 25.-Five matrimonial agencies and two turf commission'' offices have been visited by a detail of city detectives. Both commission bureaus were stripped of their con tents and three men were placed under arrest
 Three other men and one woman, for whom the police had warrants, evad- ed arrest. Another woman saved her matrimonial office from being raided by locking up and going away.
 Detective WoOlridge, who was in charge of the raid, believes there is a matrimonial and gambling trust controlled by the same men and operat- ing many branches under various names. In some cases corporate names have been assumed and the lit erature issued stated that these con cerns are Incorporated
 The turf commission'' offices raid ed were those of the Armstrong; Bald win Go and the Douglass -Daly Go. The matrimonial agencies visited were the Bell Advertising agency, o. l.. Wells alias C. l.. Weller, Unity Publishing Go, Loretto Publishing Go and J. s. Main. The literature of the turf commissioners" was similar and each concern accused the other of stealing it's circulars and testimonials The letters found in the various matrfmon- 1al offices also were so similar as to suggest a common author, and the same photographs of handsome women and prosperous appearing men were found in use in the several agencies.
 A memorandum found in one of the surf oftices'' showed the receipt of from $65 to $193 daily.

BEYOND BELIEF.
Corruption in St, Louis
Appalling.
Volcanic Disturbances Made
an Argument.
Mr., Beverdge Tried to Have Philip
pine Testimony Printed.
FRENCH VISITORS LEAVE.

St Louis, Mo, May 31.-The April
grand jury which has been inyestigat-
ing the municipal corruption with the
assistance of Circuit Attorney Joseph
w. Folk, made a final report today to
Judge Douglas. The report says:
"While there may be corruption in
other cities as great as we have here,
yet in no place in the world and at no
time known in history has so much
official corruption been uncovered and
evidence shown so that all could see
and understand. These revelations
have been so appalling as to be almost
beyond belief and it will be years be-
fore the extent of the discoveries is
fully realized.
IF the affairs of st. Louis had been
properly administered for the past fif-
teen years, and If all the officials had
been honest, there would today have
been enough money in the treasury to
put public buildings in repair, pave
streets now unpaved. make sewers
now unmade, and build the new build
ings so much needed. A high tax rate,
a deplorable condition of public institu-
tions. depleted state of the city treas
ury are the heritage left by officials
who have proven traitors to the inter
ests of the people and have trafflcked
their votes, influence and official ac-
tions to the city's detriment."

extravaganza of the American.

In a recent paper on American econ
omics, Hutchins Hapgood makes the
plea that what is often called Ameri
can extravaganza is not that at ALL but
merely our peculiar form Of economy
and that the habit Of the American is
to do things on a large scale and let
details take care of themselves. He
maintains that this Is the true econo-
my.
There is truth in this, and it is worth
considering. The people of this coun-
try have the defects Of their virtues,
but it must not be forgotten that they
have also the virtues of their defects.
If we lose some pounds through failing
to take care Of the pennies, at least we
do not let the chance of making a for
tune slide away through stopping to
pick up a pin.
