Clement and the IabOring Men,

Percival w. Clement is seeking to dis
credit the laboring men who are opposing
him because he has proved himself to be
hard task master; but it is significant
that he does not undertake to deny the
charges they bring against him. There is
good reason for this.
Percival w. Clement will not undertake
to deny that he had trouble with the long
shoremen at Ogdensburg. and that when
the men sought to secure an increase in
their small stipend for working both day
and night, he ruthlessly turned them
adrift, refusing to treat with them and
hired freshly imported Italians in their
places.
Percival w. Clement will not deny that
as soon as he purchased the Rutland and
Bennington railroad from Gen. John G.
Mccullough and the latter's associates in
its control, he forthwith cut down the cx-
penses of the employees; and that the pay
of all employees was so low that DR.. w
Seward Webb has voluntarily and out oil
common decency raised the aggregate
wages paid on the Rutland system by SIS.
900 year
Percival w Clement will not deny that
his paper. until very recently. say since hi:
political bee began to sprout wings. was
an uncompromising foe Of organized labor
and that it more than once characterized
the labor union as the greatest trust If
the country
Percival w. Clement will not deny thai
he compelled his employees while at tht
head of the railroad to sign a contract re-
lieving him from all liability in case of &C
cdent a contract which the courts have
declared to be contrary to public policy
and good morals
Percival w. Clement Will not deny tha
when he became mayor of the city of Rut
land he cut down the wages of the labornt
men in the employ of that municipality
and that he was bitterly arraigned by or
ganized labor for his merciless treatmen
of the citys common laborers.
Percival w. Clement may seek to dis
credit those who stand up for their rights
but let him deny the charges they bring
Has he oppressed the laboring man al
charged? If so, what right has he to pos
as their friend just at this time when h
wants their votes? The laboring men coulc
not trust him when he was elected mayo
Of Rutland. Could they trust him to lool
out for their interests as governor of Yer
mont?

a man who would begin by promising to
save thousands for the taxpayers and end,
IL he followed his precedent. by cutting
down the pay Of the janitor Of the State
house.
Many people are resenting Clements I'M
portation of paid agitators from other
States at least one of whom has disguised
more than one audience by his profanity
and his obscene suggestions In spite oil
the presence of ladies. They see that
his list of principal speakers includes such
picturesque character as Sam Small VINO
can make prohibition speech in one town
and rampant anti-prohibition speech in
another according as he understands pub
lie sentiment to be; that 1t includes
superannuated relic of the passion play
who Is travelling about the State with
screen on which he throws cheap
Clement chromos and cheaper wit; that
it includes man like Joe Jones,
whom the Supreme Court found it
necessary to discipline for discreditable
conduct as a States attorney, whom
Clement in his speech depicted but did not
name; that it includes backsliding re-
horrible examples. The people of Vermont
resent the imputation by Clement that
they can be wheeded by agitators like
these, and they are fast repudiating the
man responsible for this reflection on their
intelligence.
Residents of Vermont now know from
numerous quotations reproduced in the
columns of the Rutland Herald from Jour-
nails in different parts of the country that
Percival w. Clement, through the broad
cast printing of his charges of corruption
against our public men and his heaping
of contumely upon our people has made
Vermont the laughing stock of the nation;
and they realize that it's fair fame will not
| recover for decades from the effects of
the mud he has thrown upon its
escutcheon.
| These are some of the considerations
that are appealing to the people of Yer
mont in connection with the frantic eff
forts of Percival w. Clement to grasp
the governorship at whatever cost to the
Republican party, to the people and to our
State itself Is it strange that the peo-
pie after bordering on these things should
repudiate Percival w. Clement and that
Clementism should be on the wane?

TUBERCULOSIS AGAIN.
10 the Editor of The Free Press

l have read quite lot about this tuber-
cuoss business and it seems to me time
for we farmers to do a little thinking for
ourselves and not follow like sheep after
Mr.. Higbee or the cattle commission I'M
til we are sure what we want.
There is no doubt but our cattle were
badly diseased last fall, and while it SEEM
ed hard for us to have our herds destroy
ed. was it not economy in the end
Throwing aside the dehatable question
as to whether no tuberculosis may be
transmitted from cattle to people let US
look at it simply referring to cattle.
1t is certainly disease that spreads
very rapidly and cows that were at
tackled may go down very quickly. Now
every dairyman knows there is no profit
in sick cows, and as tuberculosis is incur
able as soon as a case becomes at all ad-
vanced, it is not economy to keep it in the
dairy.
Now what shall we do with It? Any Of
us that have witnessed post mortems do
not care to eat the meat or to feed it to
| our families. or course we can sell the
| COW for some one else to eat. but this is
not very honorable proceeding. If we
kill the cow and throw the meat away it
| is dead loss.
Many farmers in Vermont have buried
from 10 TO 20 per cent of their herd each
year. How long does it take to bury the
whole herd and how much profit Is there
| from these sick cows, and who wants to
use the milk or the flesh?
The disease is getting a firm foothold in
Vermont and energetic measures are ne
cessary II we would free our dairies from
its ravages
Now let's be men. We have the disease.
1t is hurting our dairies very much. We
want to get rid Of it and we are going 10
do 1t. | realize how hard it is to be hon
est but We owe it to ourselves, our herds
our neighbors and our families to see that
there arc no cows in our diaries to spread
this disease.
Now the manly thing to do is to shut our
teeth and say to the cattle commission
Come on, clean it out, pay us what you
can but clean it out" Then we can start
fresh Keep our herds clean and when we
sell cow take II away in daylight This
is not only the manly way but in the end
by far the most economical way Farmers
think. FARMER.

Sam Sn,all's COLLAPSE"

When certain rabid Clement men read
Tuesday morning in the FREE PRESS
of the collapse of Sam Small at Bratte-
boro, some of them were unkind enough
to say that some Mccullough man got
him drunk" The Free Press correspon-
dent did not say he was intoxicated. but
the fact that the Clement men left the
stage in disgust showed that something was
wrong in Brattleboro.
The Rutland Herald would have the pub
lie understand that the Rev. Samuel Small
was "overpowered by physical disability
which would tend to indicate that there is
a slight divergence of opinion among Glen
ent men themselves in relation to the
diagnosis of the case of our Georgia Wis
itor. The esteemed Marble City contem-
porary modesty admits that it has become
"sanctfed" and can therefore do no
wrong, 50 that under ordinary circum-
stances we should be inclined to accept its
version of the case, Unfortunately neither
