ANOTHER FIGHT
vLAolvosTok fLssr WHIPPED.
One of the Big Cruisers Sunk and tho
Other Two Driven OF in
DAMAGED Condition.


Toxic, Aug. 15.-vice Admiral KAN
imura encountered the Russian vladl-
vostok squadron at dawn yesterday
north of Tsu island In the strait OF
Korea, and attacked the enemy at
once.
The battle lasted for 1--WE hours and
resulted In a complete Japanese VIC
tory. The Russian cruiser Rurik was
sunk and the cruisers Rossia and
Gromoboi fied to the northward after
having sustained serious damage.
Vice Admiral Kamimura cables the
navy department that the injuries in
aicted upon his vessels were slight.
The fate of the crew OF the Rurik is
not known- It is presumed that many
OF them were killed or drowned.
The strength OF the fleet under
Vice Admiral Kamimura is not known,
but 1t is presumed that he had the
Adsasuma, Idsumou. Idawate. Taxa
shisho and other light cruisers.
Toxic is Joyous over this news, as
1t gives Japan the mastery of the sea
and restores commerce.
The raid conducted by the Vladi-
vostok squadron in July was ex-
tremely oppressive to Japan, and not
only was retaliation tempting. but it
was demanded by commercial inter-
ests.
The navy refused to make a diver
sion and stuck to Port Arthur and
waited for a fight in the open sea
away from the Russian forts.

The American Merchant Marine.

The registered tonnage of the Ameri-
can fleet OF deep sea commerce was
fourteen years ago 100000 tons larger
than it is today. Our deep sea tonnage
today is not one-siXteenth that of
Great Britain and less than Il third
that of Germany. These figures show
that there is a necessity for the re-
vival of our merchant marine.
The United States has developed the
most marvellous foreign commerce Of
any nation in the world. We are
sending into other lands nearly $1,000
600 worth of American products and
commodities every day, but it Is q
significant fact that American ships
carry less than per cent of our eX-
ports and imports. The tribute paid
to foreign ships for conveying mer-
chandise to and from the United States
amounted to over S100,0O0,0O0 last
year. Our country is foremost in near
" all lines of Industrial and CONNER
cial development, but it is tagging be
hind even the smaller foreign nations
In its merchant marine. The patriotic
pride and the commercial instinct OF
our people suggest the improvement OF
our feet commensurate with our com
mercial needs.-Norwich Comm Bulle

Town Representative.

The names of Frank A. Bond and
Gardner s. Wainwright have been filed
according to law as candidates upon the
tives from Middlebury.
Both of these gentlemen have repre-
scented the town in previous years. Both
are excellent business men and highly
respected citizens. In these respects
there would appear to be but little if any
choice between them. Mr.. Wainwright,
however, as the Register understands it,
is believer in high license, and is
brought forward as a candidate at this
time, by those who would strengthen
and indefinitely continue the high license
portion of this law.
In this matter the Register cannot agree
with Mr.. Wainwright. For it recognizes
that the principle of high license,
whether considered as a temperance
measure. as when it was first introduced,
or as a factor in political economy in pro-
ducing a revenue, has been thoroughly
tried and found wanting, Throughout
the world it is being rapidly relegated to
oblivion. The great Russian empire,
surrendering license, has adopted
the system of Governmental control,
driven to it as it states, in large part,
because of the miserable quality of tie
LIQUOR sold under the license system. AT
first it adopted the new system in Euro
pean Russia, and later ( being much
pleased with its workings in the whole
empire.
France followed last year in recon-
mending the new system and now Great
Britain is aggitating the question with
great vigor, and, as we are informed,
showing Enthusiastically her determination
to adopt it. Several smaller European
nations have adopted Governmental con-
troll of the sale of liquors, in each case
abandoning license system.
The Register has stated elsewhere in
this issue, and before, the great advan-
tages Of the Governmental control sys-
tenn, which have made it SO deservedly
popular, and we feel sure that neither
our citizens, nor the great body of the
citizens of Vermont will support, any
longer than is absolutely necessary, a
system that throughout the civilized
world has been tried in the balances and
found wanting; especially when another
is at hand that has been proved to be in
all respects very satisfactory.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1904-08-26

1t is admitted by all that the present
high license law for the sale of liquors
will be thoroughly amended by the next
legislature. The local option feature of
the law is all right, but our people do not
wish, and if we understand their temper
do not propose, to continue to give the
very large profits coming from the sale
of liquor to a few individuals, but rather
to so amend the law that these profits
will be divided equally among the towns,
to be used in reducing taxation. This
can easily be done by substituting State
Control System in the place of the
present high license feature of the law.
This is a matter that every tax payer
is interested in, for wherever State
Control System has been tried the profits
from the sale have been large enough,
when applied for that purpose, to pay
from one-quarter to one-half of the taxes
Surprising it the lesser sum it would
mean, in Vermont, about $3.50 600 a year.
The profits in South Carolina the last
year We're about twice that.
This is too serious question, looking
only at its financial aspect, to be ignored.
There is nothing whatever in the way of
the readjustment of this law on these
lines this fan except the eXigences of one
of our United States senators, who,
though always having claimed to be a
prohibtionist, has been coqueting with
high license advocates for the last two
years in order TO secure the necessary
votes for his reelection.
This is in no sense a political question.
Democrats and Republicans feel alike in
regard to it, excepting the small con-
tingent in either party who think they
will get the opportunity to sell liquors
We do not think there are any Others
of our citizens, certainly but very
few, who do not desire a sound system
for the regulation of the sale of liquors
which will equally reduce the sale
guarantee good liquors, and apply the
profits to the payment of taxes, so thai
all will share equally in them.

If 1t had the power, as it did under
Cleveland, TO enact any law it pleased,
the Democracy would make bad mess
of it, just as it did then, and plunge the
country into panic, closing shops and

work The issue, therefore, is between

To us it would seem entirely unneces-
sary that two justice tickets should be
placed upon the official ballot, which we
understand, is to occur. This is need
less confusion and leads only to local
strife and is but a sample of what might
be termed petty politics. The precedent
has been established of giving our Dem
ocratic brethren representation in the
matter of Justices and, inasmuch as Mid
dlebury is entitled to elect twelve justices
of the peace the courtesy that becomes
gentlemen ought, at least, to concede
two, if not three places upon the justice
ticket to those of Democratic persuasion.
We understand that the first ticket to be
filed did not contain but one, Mr.. Gavin
Moffat, leaving out the name of Justice
+. NJ. Foote but that the friends of this
gentleman have bestirred themselves
and another ticket bearing his name and
that of Mr. Moffat, has been made up.
Understanding that Mr.. Foote has dis
charged the duties of a justice to the
satisfaction of the people of the town
it would seem unfair not to continue
him in Office as one of our justices.
With so little at stake we ought to
eliminate any partisan feeling.
