Having reinforced his repertoire OF
French dialect stories by flying trip
to Canada, Candidate Clement has
begun his stumping trip through the
state, speaking to large audiences in
Bennington and Windham counties,
He is given unexpected advertising
by being made the defendant in a
$50, 900 libel suit brought against him
by "Spotter" Wilson, who killed GO
sher at White River junction. VIII
son alleges that he has been slandered
by Mr.. Clement by being referred to
as "a murderer in Clements public
addresses. Whatever damages VIII
son may obtain viii probably be paid
cheerfully by the defendant. who
will be able to make good use of the
resulting prominence to himself.

When a man sits down to a game OF
draw poker and detects another play
er cheating the time to "holler" is when
he discovers the fraud. Ii he goes
ahead with full knowledge OF the
deception and says nothing until the
showdown reveals him a loser, he is
in measure estopped from crying
cheat. For he was willing to take the
other fellows money if he could win it.,
and gave his tacit consent to the fraud.
This is Mr.. Clements position pre-
cisely, allowing that all his charges
respecting the improper use of
money by Mccullough to secure the
are true. He knew as
much before he allowed his name to be
presented in the convention as he
knows now,yet he staked his chances
and lost. Had he won, he would
have made no scruple about the pro-
priety Of his title. Its a baby act
to squeal now. The time for him to
have bolted, if at all, was before the
balloting began.

Vermont farmers view the conditions
brought about by the coal strike with
extreme complacency. They don't
burn coal, and they DO sell wood. The
farmer, by the way, is sharing in the
general prosperity fully as much as his
urban relatives now. Almost every
thing that land turns off commands
excellent returns. There is good
margin at present in every well-con-
Quoted farm. The farmer appreciates
il, and smiles in contentment. His
lot has greatly improved in the past
few years, and the Improvement is
not limited to the cash account. The
extension Of steam. and especially
electric railroad, systems, has given
him better transportation facilities.

Mr.. LittIeheld should study the
Democratic Campaign Book.
President RoOsevelts second in his
contest with the trusts is Congressman
Charles f. Littlefield OF Maine. Little
field is undoubtedly a valorous man
and will display great courage in the
presence of the enemy, the trusts, but
he is not we'll posted on the details of
his campaign. He said the other day:
There are hundreds and thousands
of corporations not protected by the
tariff. The Standard Oil company is
the biggest of all trusts, and it has no
tariff protection whatever. Anthracite
coal is n trust, and there is no tarirf on
that. Go to free trade England, and
you will find the whole country honey
combed with trusts. Sir John Culpep-
per fought them in 1910 They are all
over Europe and In countries that new

falsity of the statement that the tariff
Is the mother of trusts. The govern
ment creates no benefits In favor Of the
trusts. Now, strike off the tariff. and
"AO t1OSo W AhC wall WHY. IL is
the weaker party, the individual COM
petitor. The unthinking person would
drive out all the weaker ones, and the
trust alone might survive. In the tin
business no one would be left. We
would then go abroad to buy our tin OF
a foreign trust. l would rather buy
OF home trust that we might in some
way control"
MIR. Littleheld should study the Dem
ocratic campaign book. 1t shows con-
clusively that there are comparatively
rev trusts in England and those small
and practically harmless; that in all

this industry could stand up under free

capital
1t may also be suggested to this pro-
spective trust buster that the duty on
soft coal protects the anthracite trust
as much as would duty on anthracite
coal, which does not exist elsewhere
on this continent, and that the Stand

Was the South Wrong.
petersburg IDfex-Appoal)

At Gettysburg a couple of weeks
ago, General Longstreet, one Of the
most distinguished generals in
the service of the Confederate States
expressed the opinion that 1t was
best that the civil war ended as it
did. Last Saturday, on the occasion
of the unwilling of a monument to
dead Confederates. another southern
man Of distinguished birth and tai
ents. DR.. Thomas Nielsen Page, ex-
pressed the same sentiment when
he said tina tit was best that the South
was defeated.
Do those gentlemen speak tue SEN
timents OF any considerable number
of the people of the SOUTH 1t is to
be hoped that they do not, for if what
they say is correct, then it is logi-
al and irresistible deduction that
the cause for which the southern
people fought and suffered and died
was wrong. In tn at case itwould be
an anomaly in public morals and a
violence TO truth to create monu-
ments and other memorials TO per-
petuate the memory Of an error so
stepped ia blood and crime. Every
Confederate Camp should be disban-
ded and every memorial association
dlsorganIzed. The brave fight
which the survivors of the Lost
Z ause have made and are
making to yindicate the truth of his
tory should be ANONYMOUSLY aban-
bonded, and the partisan falsehoods
of sectional writers of school books
be allowed to stand as the truth of
history.
But the people os the South will
not do these things, which shows that
they do not concur in the views ex-
pressed by General Longstreet and
DIR. Page. They do not believe that il
is necessary to establish their loyalty
to the United States Government by
reputation of the cause for which
they fought four years, and for which
so many of their comrades bravely
died. The people of the South will
keep on erecting memorials to the
cause and to the brave men who
fought for it, and persons who
believe that the cause deserved TO
fail should take no part in the work
of raising these memorials, for their
sentiments are an insult to the
southern people and to the labor OF
devotion and duty in which they are
engaged.

THE PILGRIMS.

About the beginning OF the seven
teenth century there was a class of peo-
pie in England who had begun to wor.
ship God in a way not allowed by the
laws of that time. On account Of
their religious beliefs they were treated
very harshly, SO they fled to Holland
where they might worship as they
pleased.
Afraid that their children would
learn the Dutch language and customs
these people after a stay of IA years in
Holland decided to leave and find some
place where they might worship as
they pleased, and still be Englishmen.
There was no other place OF refuge ex-
cept America, SO to this land they now
turned. On account OF their wander
ings they were called Pilgrims.
In England they were joined by 9th
ers of their beliefs and the band set
sail in two ships, the Mayhower ard
the S%peedwell. When not far IL at
sea the S~peedwell began to leak so the
two ships returned to England where
repairs we're made, after which they
again set sail.
The second time out at sea the Speed.
we'll again sprung a leak, so this time
when they returned to England they
left the leaky ship at home and the en-.
