ed against this great trust, while all
the Democratic members Of that body
sustained and favored this trust. All
men who are opposed to trusts will not
vote against him because he prosecuted
the trusts and vote for tae Democratic
nominee because that party represented
by its members of the court, declared
themselves in the trusts favor. That
would be very illogical conclusion, and
the Democratic party finds no consola-
ton, no expectation this year in sett-
ing up the usual bowls against the
trusts. The Republican party Is not
afraid to 20 before the country on that
Feature Of the administration.
President Roosevelt inspired tae re-
clamation of arid lands in the west by
the irrigation system. He also aequir-
ed the Panama canal, which Others the
past several years. even decades, failed
to DO, and by the act accomplished more
than has been done in the past fifty
years for commerce. navigation and the
protection of America in time of war.
At the time a few critics arose against
him, but the people both in the North
and South were strong in their endorse
ment of what he had done and 1t soon
became an accepted fact every where
that he had done the proper thing and
done it right. That is not an achieve
ment that any political party need be
afraid TO let go before the people, nor IS
it such one as the opposite political
party can condemn and get the votes OF
the people.
The Alaska boundary line has also
been settled under his administration
and the diplomacy used has been pro-
claimed by both parties us the great
est Of the age. Then there is the re-
cprocity treaty with Cuba. Democracy
clamored for something to be done along
this line, but the President like Me-
Kinley just before the war waited until
he was ready and then he called congress
in extra session and it was soon a fact.
The pacifcation of the Philippine Is
lands begun by Mckinley and the in
stallation Of civil government are in
cInded in tne achievements. of the ad-
ministration and there are none who oh.
iect to the policy used in that work.
Democracy went before the people on
that issue the last time, making it a
prominent feature of the platform, but
failed to impress the people.
The integrity of China was preserved
by him in the Japanese,Russian war,
and thus did he avert probable warfare
among all the nations OF the earth. He
accomplished that in such a way as not
to involve this country in any contro-
versy with other nations and to-day we.
are at peace with all the world.
The finances of the government have
been successfully and probably handled
for the people and there is no bond is
sue imminent and no crisis pending.
Industry and commerce remain undis-
turbed and the country is enjoying
splendid prosperity. These are condi-
lions that would not prevail, if the ma
ton did not have implicit confidence in
tae integrity of the administration and
its eminent ability to deal with the
finances of the country in safe and
sane manner.
All in all, Republicans are glad to
welcome that sort of fight by Democ-
raey and safely feel that there is no
danger Of defeat.

Some prominent Democratic polite
ians who go in and out before Us vail
ing about the wickedness of the people
were before the grand jury, but from
what we can learn, they never even
whispered about those terrible things,
they profess to know so much about.
And yet they were sworn to make a
clean breast Of it all. Some say there
Is law against perjury. Maybe some
of them win find it out.

Senator Dillingham; exactly gave the
voice Of the people of Vermont when he
recently stated that reciprocity i'm some
cases was a very good principle, but Yer
mont as well as the whole of New Eng
land are strongly opposed to reciprocity
with Canada. Why grant to the Canadian
producers "a privilege that will affect and
injure the trade of our own state.-fNer-
gcnncs Ncrmontcr
The question, however, presents some
very plausible arguments on both sides.
one Of the largest lumber dealers in New
England said recently that from the
standpoint of his own personal interests
it was desirable to have "A duty on lumber
brought from Canada into this country.
as he was the holder of large tracts Of
timber in New England. but that he be-
licves that putting Canadian lumber and
pulp on the free list would be the best ac-
tion for New England at large. as it would
postpone for years the exhaustion Of

RooseNelt's mistakes,

I.eshes Weekly has compiled a list Of
the mistakes of Roosevelt and adds. by
way OF comment that the American
people love Roosevelt for some Of the
mistakes he has made" Here is the
whole category:
He ended the coal strike in 1902. aud
thereby opened the mines gave work to
tens of thousands of persons who had
been idle for months and reduced the
price Of coal to $4,000 600 Americans
He carried out the country's pledge
with Cuba. first Withdrawing the troops
from the island after pacification had be
come complete. and then by inducing an
| apa thetic congress to grant to the island
| the reciprocity which had been promised.
He led congress to pass the national ir-
| rigation act which will benefit every
| state and territory west Of the longitude
| of Mssouri's western boundary which
will open to settlement new empire i'm
! the arid region, comprising over a third
Of the contiguous part of the United
| States
lie enforced the sherman antitrust act
| of 1890 so that the people can repeal il
| if they dislike it, can strengthen and eN-
| tend ii if they want to retain il and if it
| needs strengthening and extending and in
so doing give vitality to a statute which
had been forgotten, and he also carried
out a Republican pledge repeated in many
of the national platforms.
lie called "A halt on England, Germany
and Italy in their projected attack on
| Venezuela, compelled the disputants to
submit to arbitration ana thus gave inter-
national and final sanction to the Mon
| roe doctrine.
| He negotiated commercial treaty with
| China, overcame Russian menaces at
| Pekng, induced the Emperor of China
to ratify the treaty, and thus opened the
| Manchurian ports of Mukden and Antung
| to the trade of the United States
He induced England to agree to the
| abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty
of 1850 which tied the United States
| hands in canal building across the 18TH
mus; negotiated a canal treaty with Col
| lumbia, which that country blindly re-
| jected; then he turned to the newly Gre
ated Republic of Panama which seeded
from Columbia on account of the latters
folly in refusing to accept the canal
treaty, gained a treaty with Panama
under which the canal is to be built and
| and a world dream of four centuries du-
ration is to be transmitted into fact. For
his work in getting an isthmian canal
under American control he brought the
| bulk of the southern democracy over to
his side, and for the time blotted out
party lines throughout the United States
more thoroughly than they had been blot
ted out before or since Monroe's "era OF
good feeling"

Mrs. Hoyt n. Wheeler.

The death of Mrs. Minnie Maclay Wheel

place Friday evening at $50 at her West
ern Avenue home from influenza, after
brief illness from only the Sunday before
Mrs. Wheeler had been in slender health
and closely confined to her home since
| she suffered a very severe illness nine
| years ago, and somewhat so before that
time. She was one Of several children of
John and Jean Macay, and was born in
Hamilton, n. Y. She was of Scotch and
English descent. Her father was the eld-
est son of the ninth generation of that
name born in the same house in Dunbar
ton, Scotland. Her mother was Jean Nc
Nicol, of a family descended from the
Scottish Graemes. Her marriage to Hoyt
ii. Wheeler, then a practicing lawyer in
Jamaica in this county, took place i'm
Lockport, n. Y, oct. "a, 1861 and they
went at once to Jamaica where they lived
until their removal to Brattleboro in 1884.
They had no children, but Mrs. Wheeler's
nephew, John /. Knowlton, now of Low
ell, Mass lived with them from childhood
until his marriage Besides her husband

George w. Shelley of Albion, n y, and
Charles j. Dolley of Jackson, Mich. Mrs
Wheeler's connection was with the Con-
gregational church and so far as her
strength permitted she was an interested
participant in the services and activities
of that church both in Jamaica and in
Brattleboro She found the greatest hap
piness of her life in her own home, in at

and in minsterng to the well being of it's
inmates Her health did not permit her
to make wide acquaintance outside, but
all who came near her knew her as a
woman of amiable and sincere qualities,
who won and retained their love and re-

house Monday afternoon Rev. II. r. Miles

Rum Did Il. that's All.

The analytical moralists have been put
ting I'm their fine touches on the Essex
county murder case. There is the usual
argument about rural decadence. Iegen-

theory Of isolation and crime on one hand
and refutation on the other To the effect
that quietude and the beautiful natural
surroundings OF Vermont are more uplift-
ing than congrcgate life to ali except
twisted characters. This is all we'll
enough for Recommendation, but the fact is
that Essex county the most isolated Sec

committed. has had only one murder trial
in 100 years. About four years ago a
man was shot in drunken row at Lem
ington in the county and the assailant
was indicted Tor murder, but ON "A plea of

The recent account of the large ship

Like all other similar ventures however,
the oil industry in Alaska is at present

very true i'm regard to most of the medi-
