HEARST'S CANDIDACY.

Young Editor Hearst. owner of &
bunch OF sensational metropolitan
newspapers, among them the New
York American, Chicago American
and San Francisco Examiner, is max.
ing a strong push for the Democratic
presidential nomination. 1t is said
that the reason why st. Louis was Sc
lected as the place for the Democratic
national convention, instead of Chi
cago, was that the national committee
feared the influence of Hearst's Chi
cago newspaper and his followers in
that city toward his nomination. Now
Hearst declares he will have a paper
in st. Louis within thirty days.
There is something spectacular, to
say the least, about this man Hearst.
The son OF a California millionaire, he
might have done-what he was ex-
pected to do-dawdle away his life in
ease and Incidence. But he didn't.
He used his wealth to acquire and
maintain these great newspaper prop
critics that have become the largest in
circulation and in a certain way the
most influential in America.
A born aristocrat, Hearst has always
catered to the poorer, weaker and less
intelligent classes. 1t is among them
that he is strong. and when 1t comes to
vote-getting Hearst may surprise some
who are inclined to sniff at him. He
is an organizer, knows how to select
men according to their capacities and
to direct their energies so as to pro-
duce results. lie has the means to f.
nance a boom. He is a regular Bryan
Democrat and the natural choice of the
retired leader. He would poll a great
vote in New York city. Chicago and
other populous eenters.
The labor unions regard him as their
particular champion. and if nominated
this issue would come right to the
front. Hearst clubs. closely affiliated
with local labor unions. are being or
gained all over the country, n even
being reported in Vermont.
It IS not beyond possibility that the
radical elements in the Democracy
may outnumber the conservatives. and
that instead Of a candidate like Cleve-
land. 0lney, German or Parker. the
choice may tall upon Hearst. This

would be Organism aggravated, OF
course. Hearst, with his many adj
mirable personal qualities, is no more
fitted to be president than John Most.
He is a revolutionist, a dangerous man
as leader OF the widest, most ungov-
ernable elements in our society. For
tunately, there is sufficient ground for
faith yet in the sober sense of the
American people. Hearst would be
hearsed off to the w~ell-occupied Demo-
political cemetery.

was discovered. Reaching Bellows
Falls at 9 in the morning, be regis
tered at the Central House as X. j.
Williams of New Brunswick and, hir-
ing a covered sleigh aC a livery stable,
started for Rockingham. He also pur-
chased a road map of Vermont and
New Hampshire at a news stand.
When the team did not come back
Sunday night the liveryman became
suspicious and Mondays papers
brought the news of the escape from
Jail. Bellows Falls detectives traced
the covered sleigh as far north as
Gassetts and there all trace of it was
lost.
Monday, the 18th, Reid was arrested
at UTICA, N. T., by a police officer OF
that City. He was sitting in the rail
road station reading a paper. and
when the officer walked up to him
he held the paper before his face.
The officer thought the nan looked
suspicious and pulled out a circular
to compare Reid's picture with the
fellow. Reid at once got up and
started toward the officer and was
grabbed by the officer. lie would
not answer questions.
On his person was found a wooden
key made from a cigar box and a
cash fare check from Springfield to
Bellows Falls.
He wonld not say where he left the

Bellows Falls. 1t is not known how
he reached Utica bat il is supposed
that he came in by train. A ticket
for Rochester was also fonnd on his
person and it is supposed that he was
waiting for the train.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

There is a proposition to remove
the old Constitution house at Wind
sor to st. Louis for service as Yer
mont building at the Exposition. The
scheme is rather hay, and doesn't
promise results. Private funds would
have to be depended on, and we
imagine the plan is not such as to
attract contributions.

From what we hear and observe, a
more determined effort than ever be-
fore will be made next fall TO revise the
tax laws, especially to put an end to
the monstrous double taxation OF
mortgaged real estate, There is only
one opinion about it, and the reform
ers ought not to get lost in the mazes
of proffered remedies but. after full
consideration, decide on the most
meritorious one and push it to a finish.
We note that the farmers organiza-
ton of the present assembly, at a
recent meeting, urged the subject for
special consideration at the next
session. Either this body or some
special organization should take the
matter up at the opening of the session
and prepare to act in an effective way.
The trouble thus far has lot been
lack OF disposition, but lack of con-
certed effort on the part of those
interested.

The Enosburg Standard is a very

has been proved beyond a doubt by
Mrs. Betsey A. Clawson, we'll known

matism snd had 1t bad, all her &C
quaintances know. They also know
she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills

Of her cure as follows:
81 was an invalid for most five years
caused by Infiammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year / could not do as much as a
baby could do; then rallied a little
bit and then relapse. Then year
ago the gout set in my hands and feet
| suffered untold agony and in August,
1908, when my husband died | could
not ride to the grave.
81 only took two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks I could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
l dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured me-"
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

surgery IN Hixh Favor.


Not 20 many years ago surgical oper.
atlons were generally regarded by the
public as a means OF last resort and
were submitted to only when the pa.
tent or his family was advised that
no other escape was open for the suf-
ferer frequently the sick man was In
extremes when he went under the sur.
geon's knife. and 1t Is asserted by med
ical men that the large mortality in a
given number OF operations was due
to this fact. In this way the popular
fear OF going through these orieals
was Increased, the surgeons generally
being held responsible for the fatal
outcome.
To-day there Is less fear OF the knife.
and statistics show that the mortality
Il far less. This Is attributed by the
profession to the advanced views now
held and what may be termed the
greater popularity of surgery. OF
course, most potent contribution to
this condition Of affairs Is the more ex-
tensive knowledge possessed by the
modern surgeon and his greater skill.
But there is another source from which
help comes; that Is, that cases reauir-
ing the services OF surgeons are not de. |
layed until the last minute, when the
patients are so exhausted or they can.
not stand the shock they must neces.
sarily sustain.
To-day 1t is appreciated by all stu

BRIEF history Of the sandalwood

sandalwood had to be cut In this way. |
The ships carried great lengths OF

baoble OF voices from swarms of

their pay, and the confusion and shout

swung into place. there could be heard
the click OF the hammer as it struck
the anvil; the iron was being cut into

After the logs were burned and cut
down. they Were carried to the bay

had to be dragged down the rocky

Traffic on the Mississippi Has Expert
enced Decline In Recent Years.
The best days of the Mississippi
River traffic are long since past, and
the scenes that once endeared that
stream have apparently gone never to

The best year for steamboat bust.
ness on the Mississippi is said to have
been the one Immediately before the
outbreak of the Civil War. says Mr..
Chittenden In the World To-day. Dur
ing that conflict until the North gain
ed control Of the river, commercial
boating below the mouth of the Ohio
was broken up entirely. On the Mis-

up In the early years Of the war by
the discovery Of gold at the head

that most remarkable episode In the
history Of river navigation, the send
Ing Of cargoes from st. Louis to the
base of the Rocky Mountains, more
than 1000 miles distant and half a
mile vertically upward.
Long before the steamboat business
on the Mississippi and its tributaries
had reached its maximum the forces
which were to accomplish its ruin had
begun to operate. The beginning of
practical railroading followed many
years after that Of steamboating, but
when 1t once got well under way its
progress and development rapidly out
stripped those Of its older rivals. Here
was a steam engine that could go with
Its load anywhere. 1t did not have
to follow water courses. 1t could
climb mountains If they were in its
way. 1t could serve the inland town
as well as the river port. Its speed
was four times or more that of the

commission by the winters ice, but

Clearly, the steamboat stood little

this.
For many years, from one causA

but finally the railroads got the up.

In the twenty-five years following the
