HOLINESS CAMPAIEETING

For three years there has been a
Holiness camp-meeting at East Mont
pelier, Vermont. conducted by the
New England Conference of the Evan

been growing in attendance and in re-

this year. held Aug. 1929, has been
the largest and most fruitful ever con-
Quoted in these grounds.

this camp to prove that sound con-

forever. Some reconciliations were
made and one man promised the Lord

stolen. Many a shining face witnessed
to the fact that the Spirit had wrought
a work within.

a success this proved doubly so. The
program of the day began with the
parade of the unions in town which
formed on the common at 10 O'Clock,
and consisted of the Mortified Cor
net band, under the efficient leadership
of Ed Shaw, followed by the Stars and
Stripes which so gracefully foated
aloft in the breezes and told in
silent eloquence Of the freedom and
independence of those to whom it
means 50 much. The Granite Cutters

cipal streets of the village, disbanding
at the common. The speakers of the
day were introduced with we'll chosen
words by Mr.. Roach of the Granite
Cutters Union of this town. Hon. j.
T. Swazey of Barre delivered an elo-
quent address in behalf of the laboring
ing man and g. W. Bruce of Spring
field, Mass, also delighted his au-
dience with a pleasing address;
too much praise cannot be given
to the orators of the day whose
words so plainly gave evidence of care
full thought and study and thorough
knowledge of the subjects in ques-
tioL.
The band discoursed verv appropri-
ate and acceptable music throughout
the entire day and although the wealth
er was not as pleasant as might have
been hoped, nature wept not enough to
defer the exercises or to prevent a
large tbrong from witnessing the sports
which proved of such an interesting
nature.
The program ended with grand ball
in armory hall III the evening. This
was one of the most largely attended
and highly successful dances held in
town for some time and much credit
is due those having the arrangements

Of praise are heard on all sides and
most especially for the lack of intoxi-

A GREAT VICTORY.

"Clan Alpine's pine in banner
brave" waved free and exulting in the
clear mountain air on Tuesday. All
TO the polls the Vermonters came
down, clothed in the sturdy spirit, if
not in the picturesque garb, of their
heroic ancestors.
The victory is emphatic. If there
was apathy at the public meetings,
there was none at the polls. The
ballot box doomed with the enthusi-
asm that tells. The message Vermont
is sending out to the embattled Re-
publioans of the nation will inspire
them with the courage, the confidence,

drew from the capture of Ticonderoga
and the victory at Bennington-fore-

a CRIMINAL CHARGE.

@. H. Davenport, representing the
Democratic State committee, charges
that Charles j. Bell, as an officer of
the State, IN the board of agriculture
and the cattle commission, drew pay
during the fiscal years of 1901 and
1902 for II l-3 days more than the cal
endar for those years contained, in
Guiding Sundays and holidays.
This is criminal charge. 1t was
published on Saturday IN certain daily
papers of the State. IL was published
Old the last day OF active work in the
pending CANVASS for the election of a
Governor OF the Stsue, Charles j. Bell
being the candidate Of the Republican
party for that office. The iutent of
the publication was to influence the
voters CT the State against Mr.. Bell,
to turn them away from voting for
the Republican candidate for Govern
or.
The charge was of an entirely diff
ferent character from the objections,
Oh political grounds, that are made to
candidate of an opposing political
party. 1t was criminal charge
subject the. offender to penal punish
ment. The serious character of the
charge is aggravated by the circum-
stance that it WAS made on the eve of
election day, at time when the ac-
cused, or his supporters, could make no
reply that could reach the great body of
voters. Such a charge as this against
Mr.. Bell should not be idly made. A
mans good name to him is priceless
treasure. He that stealslmy purse steals
trash but he that filches from me my
good name robs me of that which
not enriches him but makes me poor

consecutively followed by the de-
Tense. If Mr., Bell has been defraud-
ing the State it ought to be known,
but the information oaght to come to
the public under circumstances that
do not cloud it with grave suspicion
as to the truth or sincerity of the
charge; and the accusation il
made at time aud under circum.
stances that indicate a purpose to in.
jure, rather than an unmixed desire
to serve the ends of truth justice and
public morality. Not only this, but
the press ought not to be instrumental
in circulating SO grave charge, un,

time the easily ascertained counter
statement, so that the public may
make up its judgment and decide on
its action. not from an exparte state

The picnic at Caledonia Park was
the principal local gathering of Labor
Day. The Central Labor Union OF
Barre and vicinity carried out sue
cessful program in spite of unfavor-
able weather conditions and mon
ster celebration at Mortified that
prevented many from attending this
more local observance.
The committees, in charge of ar
rangements for the picnic, deserve
great credit for its success. Gilbert
sons orchestra was IN attendance to
furnish music; and dancing, ample
refreshment booths, and with close
and exciting athletic sports, and
strong speeches, made up the program
of the day.
About 2 O'Clock in the afternoon
sports were suspended for about al
hour while Thomas d. Nichols of
Scranton, Pa, delivered an address on
The Labor Union-Its Main OBJ
ject.' At another part of the ground
at the same hour Pietro Esteve of
Paterson, N. j., spoke to the Italians
on La Missione dell Unionismo.

CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH.

A large congregation greeted Rev.
Charles p. Wellman in the Church of
the Messiah on Sunday as he entered
upon his public duties as assistant
minister. DR. Wright conducted the
devotional exercises, and IN introduc.
ing Mr.. Wellman, bespoke for him a
cordial welcome from the people of the
parish, and their earnest and sympa-
thetic cooperation. Mr.. Wellman's
sermon was upon THE Value of n
Man." and the theme was treated
mprehensively and forcibly. Mr.
-Wellman is from Winchester, Mass,
the son of Methodist minister. He
graduated from the Meadville Theo-
logical School in 1902, then. after
spending a summer in European ira
vel, he pursued postgraduate studies
in the Harvard Divinity School, and
subsequently spent year in charge of
new missionary enterprises in Lancas-
ter and Harrisburg, Pa. He is not an
entire stranger here by any means
having passed portions of four sum-
mers in this vicinity, and won many
friends in the congregations that he
has addressed.

what is made known on both sides of
the issue. If the charge that Mr.. Bell
has been defrauding the State is not
true, it is not only inf lmously cruel,
but it is libelous and ought to subject
the libeler to punishment.
This matter ought not to end with
the close Of the canvass. Not only is
the good name of Charles J. Bell in
question, but the good fame of Ver-
mont as well. The charge that Mr..
Bell has been defraudipg the State
ought to be officially investigated and
Republicans ought to move and pur.
sue the investigation. IL the charge
is true, there can be no question as to
the course Mr.. Bell should pursue; if
it is false-as every candid person,
whether or not he knows Charley Bell
personally, and knowing him most
firmly believes that the charge is utter
ly and UNANIMOUSLY false, -the Repub-
lican State committee ought to under
take the prosecution of the libelers
and bring them to punishment. This
course is due both to Mr.. Bell and the
Republican party of Vermont The
stain the Democratic State committee
has sought ID bring upon the State,
the party candidate for the governor
ship, and the party itself, ought to be
wiped out in court of law.

Dear Sir: Two and two make

Two and two' are.
Two gallons of water and two gal
Ions of milk don't make four gallons
of milk.
Nelther does four gallons of paint
that's half lime, whiting. clay, and
kerosene oil, make four gallons of real
paint.
That's what we mean by saying
Fewer gallons; wears longer. - 1t
takes fewer gallons of Devoe lead
and zinc than of mixed paints to paint
house, and it wears twice or three
times as long AS lead -and-oil mixed by
hand.
Mr. Chas. Avery, of Herkimer, N.
Y, bought 81 gallons of Devoe lead
and-2inc to paint his five houses, his
painter having figured that it would
require at least that amount; SO gal.
Ions did the work and he returned 10
gallons.
Yours truly

The issue of the election in the city
OF Montpelier is highly satisfactory to
Republicans. 1t was SO clean and de-
cisive-and speedy-a victory as has
not been won for many elections.
Union and harmony prevailed in the
ranks of the victors, and when this
condition exists, Republicans always
win by good majority. AS to the
candidate of the opposition for Rep
resentative, DR.. M. F. MCGUIRE,
Republicans have for him personally
the regard and respect his many esti-
mable qualities, strong integrity and
high intelligence have won for him
throughout all this community. They
like him-all but his politics, and
politics was dominant. Fealty to
party, the circumstance that the Re-
publicans-normally large majority
of tho voters-also, had candidate
whom his fellow citizens respect,
whom they have tried, and in whom
they trust, were conditions that inevi-
tably gave the victory.
