Democratic Literature.

The democratic state committee have
engaged space in most of the Vermont
papers for the next three weeks and the
first installment of their campaign litera-
ture appears on the third page of this
paper, labelled as paid advertising. Our
readers will thus have a chance to read
both sides of the questions at issue in the
state campaign, and we are not at all
fearful that the republicans will be led
astray by reading Mr.. Davenport's arti-
Giles any more that they would if they
should listen to some of the oratory of
the democratic spellbinders that will soon
come here from other states. The Bur-
lington Free Press is greatly distressed
over the acceptance of this matter by the
Vermont press. but the position taken by
the Barre Times seems so sensible that
we are glad to endorse it:
"The Free Press is fearful the Republi-
can voters will be seduced by this heinous
practice, and that they cannot be trusted
to read anything but Republican doctrine
or such platematter asthe republican state
committee sends out with the request
IHde II DS puonSueu SIdIiS. L. COuOlClOnS
are so bad in Vermont that Republicans
cannot be trusted to read anything but
Republican literature. it is time there
was a Republican revival. But the
Times believes the voters of the state,
both Republicans and Democrats, are in
telligent enough to read and form their
own opinions, and that the Republicans
have so much the better case there is no
danger from a vigorous Democratic
campaign"

vermonters WIN BE ON Hand.

Once in four years the American people
strike trial balance and take account
OF political stock, and either vindicate or
condemn the national administration
and the party that placed it in power.
AS a rule upon presidential year local
differences and issues are retired to the
background as the larger concerns of the
nation command the attention of the
electorate. Whether we willed it or not,
the United States has become world
power and the conduct of our policy, in
ternal and foreign, is a much more 1ntri-
cate matter than it was two or three
generations ago. Our ships are upon
every sea and our manufactured goods
are exposed for sale in almost every for
eign market. Our banner is floating on
islands in many parts of the world.
While we are at peace, our interests are
so extensive and involved that it requires
wise heads and firm, adroit hands to
pilot our ship. The duty of every voter
to pass judgment upon the acts and
policy of the administration is the high
est one in the scope of citizenship.
We think that Mr.. Roosevelt will be
equal to the ordeal and receive the ap-
poval of majority of his fellow citizens.
Certainly the republicans OF Vermont
will rally about the party standard, and
lead the column as they long have done,
to victorious issue - Rutland Herald.

An Advertising Thought.

There is one impartial critic of adver-
Using. He never passes judgment upon
publicity from the standpoint of gram
mar or art. He considers all the diff
culties of advertiser. medium and readers
in giving his verdict. What he says is
hnal, and every one of his conclusions is
valuable in making future ads more pro-
ductive. He is true expert. His name
is Results. Thus Printers Ink states it.
Grammar, descriptive power. fine adject-
ives, count for little. Plain, direct,
honest statements in newspaper ads
bring results pleasing TO the merchant

A Ticket that Presage. victory.

Charles J. Bell is typical Vermont far
mer of the front rank. He was born and
raised on the farm which is still his home,
and he returned there and took up his
LIES work after he came back from SER
vice at the front in behalf of his country.
He has not only carried on his own farm,
but has added to it until his possessions
today are double his inheritance, and in
addition he has found time to devote i'm
pertant work to public affairs, the state
board OF agriculture, the grange and
othe, interests. In his personal record
his life and character are unquestioned,
and he enjoys in marked degree the
esteem and affection of those who know
him intimately. He has the solid sup
port of the farmers and of the farming
interests of the state. Mr.. Stearns has
made a great success OF his business ca
reer and has shown his ability in public
life. The ticket, Bell and Stearns, is
worthily entitled to the support of every
man in tie state, who counts himself
republican, and to every man who wishes
to see Vermont strike the note of victory
presaging triumph in the nation for
Roosevelt and Fairbauks.-[ Brattleboro

The Strike at Proctor.

The strike among the employees OF
the Vermont Marble Company at Proc
tor has been the basis of circulating a
number of charges against the manage
ment and at least one Vermont paper
has led in persistently attacking the cor
poration and charging it with all sorts
of injustice. A correspondent of the
Burlington Free Press, writing from
Rutland. makes the following answer to
some of the canards circulated about the
company:
The present occasion has afforded an
opportunity tor some to recirculate few
of the long-exploded canards against the
village of Proctor and the Vermont Mar
BILE Company.
A tavorite one is the tyranny of the
companv's stores. 1t is perfectly well
known in the vicinity by every one that
the Vermont Marble Company has not
one cent of interest in the sales of its
stores, and it makes no difference to it
whatever whether an employe trades
there or not. Some time since the COM
pany began to distribute the net profits
of all it's stores to all its employees who
traded there, and a committee from
among the employees examines the in
ventory, accounts and settlement, and
agrees upon what the profit of the
store business has been, and it is then
paid by check on the bank directly to
each employee. In conversation one OF
the members of this committee said that
in making this settlement the Vermont
Marble Company was allowed rent for
the store building, 4 per cent per annum
on the actual capital invested in the
stock, and that 1t received nothing else
for general superintendent or otherwise.
He said that at the end of last year the
dividend paid back to the employees at
the Proctor store was 10 per cent, at
West Rutland 9 per cent at Center Rut-
land 6 per cent in cash, and that that
was more than the profits on the goods
sold to these employees, as they received
not only the profit on the goods sold to
themselves, but on all the goods which
the store sold outside OF its employees,
which is about one-quarter OF its trade.
Other similar charges vanish in the
same way upon investigation. For ex-
ample, it is persisten,ly reported that the
men are even compelled to buy their water
from the company. In tact, the water
system at Proctor belongs to the MUM
cipaIity, and the Vermont Marble com
pany has no further interest In it than
any other taxpayer.

The Supreme Memory.

Written for the CALEDoNIAN1
AS over every other star
One star in heaven burneth,
All other days are faint and far
When that one day returneth;
And other eyes no sweetness have
Since sweeter than before
There shines in hers above the grave
A light of earth no more:
For Love hath garlanded that day.
And with immortal seal
Set where they cannot fade away
The eyes whose love I feel.

Want Nothing Better.

The question of unfolding the great
American advance in the new depar-
ture Of the last eight years will count
with thoughtful minds. But it is prac-
tcally embraced in the Roosevelt issue
and need not be particularly different
ated. The two issues cover the fight
ing ground, and Republicans want
nothing better Philadelphia Press.

STATE POLITICS.

Mr.. CIcmenf Shoald Take the Stump.
Mr.. Clement understands that he has
been invited to speak and has declared
his willingness to do so. The party
campaign Organization j would be
strengthened by putting him on the
stump and it will be a serious mistake to
neglect this opportunity. Now is the
time tor the republican state committee
to take counsel, not of somebody's or of
some factions lingering prejudice, but of
the welfare of the party as whole.
The republican party OF Vermont today
needs its brightest men at the front, on
the stump, ut the council table, anywhere
that they may be useful. Surely, nobody
will have the hardihood to deny that Mr..
Clement is not one of the bright ones,
and one of the brightest, at that.-[St.

the important position of chief Sec
retary to the Minister of the imperial
household in order to be able to ac-
cept the position of chief of the gend-

to take charge of the gendarmerie
