NOT A Personal ISSUE.

The criticism of the President for
the policy of militarism and his be-
lief in the big stick idea of gov
eminent is in no sense making Roose-
welt a personal issue in the campaign.
The objection of Independents and
Democrats is to the policies which he
embodies, and to his continuance in
office because he typifies and glories
in a policy that is at war with Ameri-
can traditions and the spirit that OPP
poses all 'entangling alliances"

Few Facts.

Editor of the Banner:-Owing to the
uGfounded, and uncorroberated talk
anoat concerning the expenditure
of the Board Of Health and Select
men, during the late epidemic of small
pox. wish 10 state a few of the facts
OF which some of the voters seem to be
in doubt
1t has been stated that the town was
caring for 26 persons when in fact it
was caring for 54 persons, and the per
capita was 3Sicents per day in one
case and 40 cents per day in the other
The grocepymen, with whom the
orders we're given, each had to pro-
cure all sustenance, therefore more
than half of the bills paid to them,
represented actual cash paid out by
them in purchasing supplies at the
markets, drug-stores and other places.
At the time of building of the hos
pital, three contractors of the town
turned in all their available help at
actual expense, thereby detrimental to
their own interests, but with a view TO
helping the town in their dilema, and
for which the voters should feel CRATE
full.
Material snd furnishings were hasti-
ly assembled without regard to party
or place, and all who SO helped out the
Board did so at loss to themselves.
through the fear of some of their sew
eral customers who we're afraid OF the
spread Of the contagion.
Strict rules and regulations, coupled
with the unceasing watchfullness of
the Board prevented the town of Ben
nington from suffering the disaster
ouscondition of affairs that would have
resulted from lax hand in this most
loathsome of diseases.
Stagnation Of business here in this
busy mill town, meant thousands OF
dollars to the mill owners, and desti-
tuition to hundreds of families, and
such certainty would have been the re-
suit but for the vigilance of our worthy
medical fraternity and the unceasing
care of our Health officer.
Yours truly,

route is several miles shorter than by

Win or Lose; Must Not Return.

Che Foo, September 24.-The Japanese
consul admitted to-day that the spies in
Port Arthur reported that General Stoes-
sell had received orders to send the rem
nant of the once splendid Port Arthur
squadron out to battle as quickly as
preparations will permit.
The imperative command of the Gar
is that Admiral Wierenus, who succeeded
Prince Oukhtomsky when he makes this
desperate sortie, must not return to the
port.
The ships of the Russians face the al
tentative of victory, destruction or pos
sibie escape. In the latter case the
Czar's vessels are to make junction
with the Vladivostock squadron at q
secret rendezvous at sea agreed upon at
the time the previous attempt was made
which resulted in smashing defeat, the
destruction of the Novick, and the loss
for the rest of the war of the battleship
CZarevitch, the cruisers Pallada and
Diana and several destroyers. These
ships sought asylum in neutral ports
and were forced to disarm by main force
