Nearly all the men in al the companies

A Bear Story.

Homer Hill. the l2-year-old stepson
OF John Campbell, who lives on the
Waterford road, two and one-hali
miles from st. Johnsbury. had an esca-
pade with a bear August 5 in which he.
like David OF old. won ont by the use
OF stones and good Workmanship.
Passing piece of woods about a
quarter OF mile from the house, the
boy heard whistle, and thinking il a
neighbor's boy. answered il. Just
then bruin emerged from the brush.
looking like an immense black dog.
This the boy took him to be and called
him. But when the animal climbed
over the stonewall and started toward
him, the boy saw his mistake and dan
ger, and seizing large stone he aimed
and struck the bear squarely in the
head, knocking him down. He then
ran home for help. Men, bows and
dogs gathered, but meanwhile the bear
bad returned to the woods. The dogs
took the scent readily, but a heavy
shower coming up spoiled 1t, and the
party was obliged to give up the hunt.

Shot at Motor Man.

A narrow escape from injury and
possible death was experienced by
Motorman Luther G. Kinney, who left
Rutland on the first car for Lake
Bomoseen about 6 80 a. m. Aug. 5.
Just as the car was entering the
tunnel By which the line runs beneath
the Delaware q Hudson railroad north
of Castleton. Kinney saw man who
had been standing In the field a short
distance away pull up a gun and
fire directly az the car. As the trigger
was pulled Kinney dropped behind
the shelter Of the car front His move
was not made a moment too soon for
he heard the shot sing as they swept
over his head and became embedded
10 the woodwork OF the car.
The car was hustled into Castleton
and the officers there notified of what
appeared to be a deliberate attempt
at murder. Several men were soon
in search OF the man with the gun

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

The Free Press is Mortified because
good Republican newspapers in YER
mont have agreed to accept Dem
ocratic money and to publish in re-
turn therefor political matter fur
nished by the Democratic state COM
mittee. The st. Johnsbury Repub-
lican, too, cannot see why Republican
newspapers should lend aid to the
Democrats that way.
However, other journals, no less
firm in the faith, do not consider it
REASONABLE to make this arrangement
The day of the party organ has passed.
People nowadays want independence
and fairness in their newspapers.
They don't like to have a man or con-
Germ that has come into possession OF
a press and types attempt to corner
all the publicity in that locality and
dole out to them only his own ideas
or facts that follow his groove. While
admiring a journal for consistent
partisanship, few Republicans are so
bigoted as to require the ruling out of
everything that would inform readers
concerning the Democratic consti-
tuition. This is degree of Bourbon
ism not called for by the Vermont
standard.
There is nothing for Republicans to
tear in all that the Democrats can say
for themselves in the space at their
command. The more they say and
stir up, the larger win be the Septem-

THAT DECLARATION.

1
|
The Randolph Herald courteously
allows that the Tribune's structures on
Orange county Tor practically repudi
ating the state Republican platform in
its own little convention were hardly
warranted by the facts. and that mer
OF the j. X. Darling type don't seek
some magic TO eliminate the saloor
without work. Possibly this is true
but the fact stands out beyond dispute
that the resolutions of that remarkable
convention declare that the party shall
not have done its duty until the saloon
is driven from the state. Well, the
party has furnished the machinery fol-
driving the saloon out of every town
| in Vermont-if the town wants il
driven. 1t needs work, conscientious,
educational, constructive work to
make towns independent of the saloon
but the thing is possible. More
than that, it's being done every year in
| Vermont-towns under the present
law and state temperance organiZa-
lions are holding every town account
J able for its own conditions.
Does this satisfy the Orange county
crowdP
No, they demand the right to say by
legal pronouncement that each town
shall not control its own affairs. They
want to "wipe OUT the monster at one
fell legislative swoop. They want
something easier than the hard, per
manent, man-to-man effort needtul for
a "Non vote in every town. They
want prohibition without so much
work They want to run the whole
state on j X. Darling lines.
And so it seems the TTibune's com
ment at the time was well considered
and that Orange county has actually
set up its superior goodness and wis
dom against the party's expressed
pledge, and that the men responsible
for those resolutions want something
TO compel towns to adopt prohibition
whether they want it or not Ludlow
Tribune.
Orange county Republicans stand
on the county platform. They expect
their senators to vote for laws or
amendments that will lessen, instead
OF increase, the sale of liquor. They
are opposed to the saloon. Being
against it on principle, they oppose it
without, as well as within, their own
county. They declared in their plat.
form that they would not be satisfied
until the saloon was banished from the
whole state. As the contemporary
well says, all this is possible to be done
under local option, and if local option
brings about that result. the Republic
cans of Orange county will be satisfied.
Orange county Republicans stand
also on the state platform. That docu-
ment does not recognize the saloon or
forbid any county or town or indiyid-
ual from working to defeat it. Freed
from it this year themselves by their
own action under the local option law,
they do not consider it inappropriate
to express the desire that Republicans
in other counties may do likewise.
The Republicans of Orange county
may, and probably do, prefer eventu-
ally some other state law to the pres
ent one; something that will not allow
the establishment Of the saloon any
where within its borders; but they
made no declaration to that effect this
year and do not look to their senators
and representatives to disobey the
state declaration in favor of a longer
trial Of the principle of local option.
