The Southern Criminal
and the Filipino Patriot


We give on extract from a speech
delivered on decoration day BY Presi.
dent Roosevelt:
is it only in the army of the PHI
ippines that Amc.:cans sometimes ID
acts that cause the rest of America re-
gret? lCries of oh, no. no.
From time to time there occur III
cu1 country. to the deep and lasting
shame of our people, lynehi1fgs carried
on under circumstances of inhuman
cruelty and barbarity-a cruelty intin-
itely worse than any that has ever
been committed by our troops in the
Philippines; worse 10 the victims and
far more brutalizing TO those guilty OF
it. The men who fail to condem these
iynchings. and yet clamor about what
has been done in the Philippines, are
indeed guilty of neglectng the beam
in theiY own eye while taunting their
brother about the mote in his.
This newspaper feels bound TO cen
fess that it sympathiZes with the neC
and women of the South who resent
Mr. RQQsevelt's Decoration day speech.
The substance of Mr.. RooseEelt's
utterances as Southerners understand
it, is practically this:
Yen Southerners lynch men and
burn them alive. You ought. therefore,
nct to elitieise the officials in tha Phil
ippines Who administer the water cure,
shoot unarmel men occasionally but
neyeH barn the IN alive, except by az
eident
Il is true that in the South human

beings are burned alive. 1t is also
true that 40 man regrets more earnest
" than does tie Sou s.erner these hof-
lible demonstrations OF the savage

Of the criminal IN the South can be

Barber Reardon's Fighting jag.

George Reardon. a barber. was arrested
yesterday morning by Chief-of-Police
Hall for intoXcation and assault. The
story of his escapades on Wednesday and
yesterday would make long story, but
briefly ii is this: During the forenoon
Wednesday Reardon went into the
Chinese laundry on Elliot street and at
tempted to pick row with the proprie-
tor. He threw a water bowl at the
Chinaman, then crossed the street into
Sturges's barber shop, took mug from
the case. returned to the laundry and
hurled II at the Celestial. H. w. Sar-
gent, manager OF the building, was noti-
fled of the disturbance and went to the
scene. Reardon struck Sargent in the
left eye. whereupon Sargent threw him
down. Reardon testified this morning be-
fore Justice Newton that his condition
was due to rice beer and an overdose of
quinine. He said that on Tuesday night
he and his roommate had gallon Of
whiskey come by express. On Wednes-
day morning he took more whiskey. more
beer and more quinine. Yesterday morn
ing he wandered into Cleaveland's store.
where Chief Hall arrested him. At Judge
Newton's Office Reardon attempted to
fight Chief Hall and Policeman Thayer.
He grabbed Chief Halls watch chain and
threw It across the room, and made a
scene which has never been equalled in
that court room. He was kept in the
lookup until this morning. when he
pleaded guilty to both charges and was
fined s. and costs for being intoxicated
and SIS and costs for assaulting the
Chinaman. His fines were paid. Reardon
apologized to Mr.. Sargent and settled with
the Chinaman, but Attorney Bacon told
him that that did not discharge his OBJ
legation to the state.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL
ELECTION IN BRATTLEBoRo.
Interest Centred in Contest for Town
epresentatiVe-Dr. James Con-
land Had 83e Votes, C. c. Fits e42.

The election in Brattleboro Tuesday was
attended by an unusual amount of in
terest which centered more particularly
in the contest for the election of town rep
resentative. The supporters of both Dr.
Conland and Mr.. Fits had made a can
vass of the town and had established
headquarters in the town hall building,
where they could keep a tally of all who
voted. Soon after the voting began both
sides began sending out teams for aged
and intirm voters, and as the time for
turning the representative box approached
teams were kept hurrying for voters who
for various reasons had not exercised
their right Of franchise The box was
turned at O'Clock, and. although the
county and state boxes were kept open
until 3 O'Clock, not single vote was cast
after the representative box was turned.
1t took the board Of civil authority un-
I'll 4.3O o'clock to get the standing of the
vote. and the announcement of the re-
suit by Chairman Vinton was greeted
with cheers and yells. A few representa-
tive ballots were found in the state box
after the result was announced which
made the standing as follows: Total
number of votes cast, 1882; scattering, 2:
DR.. Conland had S3S; Mr.. Fits had 642
Several voters tore off the name of the
person for whom they wished to vote
On y ballots the name OF DIR. Conland
was checked in both the Democratic and
high license columns, but the board of
civil authority decided to count them, as
the intent of the voter was plain.

they? Are they afraid to submit the
question of deciding what liquor law
Vermont shall have to the will of the
majority? That's all the Republican
platform proposes to do.

Tuesdays state election which
closed the most exciting and remark
able campaign ever known in Vermont
resulted in the failure of the Repub-
licans to elect their candidate for gov
ernor. Gen. John G.. Mccullough, over
the combined vote of the high license
and local option candidate, Percival
w. Clement, Felix McGettrick, the
Democratic candidate and Joel o.
Sherburne, the prohibition ticket ow-
ing to the fact that it required a ma
jority to elect the chief executive of
this state.
The election of governor and lieu
tenant governor will be carried to the
general assembly which convenes in
October and the friends of General
Mccullough claim that he has a ma
jority over all on joint ballot.
Although there have been II pre-
vious elections in the state when the
people failed to make a choice for
governor and the lawmakers have COM
pleted the election, the contests before
have never been between different fac
tions of the Republican party. There
has been no election by the legislature
since 1858, when Niubinson, Democrat
was chosen.
Mr.. Clement In his vote appears to
have taken upwards of 60 per cent of
the normal Democratic vote and fully
35 per cent of the normal Republi-
can vote. The vote of McGettrick,
the Democratic candidate, is by far
the smallest for many years.
The liquor question appears to have
given renewed vigor to the Prohibi-
tion party, which has increased its
vote upwards of $50 per cent. The
Republicans reelected Congressman
David j. Foster and Kittredge Has
kins, State Treasurer John l.. Bacon,
Secretary Frederick G. Fleetwood and
Auditor Horace F. Graham as the
chief capaign issue did not enter into
the selection of these officials. The
county tickets are Republicans, with
the exception of Rutland, Grand Isle,
Washington and Chittenden counties,
where fusion or Democratic tickets
were successful.
While the Senate of 1900 was who'll
ly Republican, the upper branch of the
next general assembly will comprise
five Democrats and 25 Republicans, a
