Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-06-08

A Russian nihilist conspiracy against
the life of President Roosevelt is said
to have been discovered in Portland,
Ore, and unusual activity is also noted
among Chicago anarchists. President
Roosevelt has undeniably made many
bitter enemies among the heads of pow
erful industrial interests in this coun-
try during the past year and from
these evil and lawless forces which
might act singly or in combination
against him, the cool-headed and law
abiding portion of American citizen
ship should take careful and adequate
measures for his protection. The coun-
try has reason to be grateful to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Under his administra-
ton the Inauguration of some huge re-
forms has been accomplished, possible
only through the influence and stimu-
lus of his unbounded energy and cour-
age,

The state conventions this year will
have an extra nomination to make

cept that of Clarke c. Fits, of Brattle'
boro, has been suggested thus far for
the republican nomination.-St. Adams

more work or do it better, in that of

THE WEEK IN THE WORLD.
Great Events and Movements Which Are
Making History.

The statehood bill which passed the house
at Washington Jan. 25, was amended by
the senate later so as to eliminate New Mex
leo and Arizona, and was sent to joint con.
ference by the house March %, is again
brought to the front through the signed re-
port of the conferees which has just been
presented to the senate. The report COM
promises the bill by the adoption of the
Foraker amendment as originally introduced
a year ago, which submits the question Of
Joint statehood TO a separate referendum in
each OF the two territories of Arizona and
New Mexico at the regular fall elections in
November. Senator Foraker leading the in
surgent republicans and Senator Bailey,
leading the democrats, will fight the confer
ence report on the statehood bill with its
adoption of the old Foraker amendment.
They hope to send the bill again to confer.
ence and that the house will defy Speaker
Cannon and instruct its conferees to agree
to the amendment eliminating Arizona and
New Mexico from the bill altogether. 1t is
generally believed that the bill will finally
be agreed to as now reported by the con
ferees The bill, as passed by the house,
provided that Oklahoma and the Indian Ter
ritory should constitute one state under the
name of Oklahoma, and that Arizona and
New Mexico should constitute one state un-
der the name Arizona. Should the terms of
admission be ratified by the residents of
these territories, their respective state con
situations must contain clauses prohibiting
the sale of intoxicating liquors and plural
marriages.

Vermonters everywhere, of whatever
political classification, will rejoice over

for himself and of usefulness to his
country be added to the senator S sew

The conference report on the railroad
rate bill was signed and presented to both
houses of congress at Washington Saturday.
As agreed upon by the conferees, the bill
omits sleeping cars altogether from its rul-
ings the amendment tending to legalize
Jim Crow ears in interstate traffic is
dropped out, an absolute prohibition of free
transportation is substituted for the SEN
ate antipass amendment with its manifold
exceptions, and the commission is increased
to seven members at salaries of $4,000.
Otherwise, except for comparatively minor
changes, the bill is practically as it was
passed by the senate. The report was dis
cussed in the senate Tuesday and the bill
is not yet found satisfactory. Conferees of
both houses are standing pat however, and
will not reconsider the report until it is
sent back to them on points of order.

The senate committee on privileges and
elections at Washington, Friday, after a
three years investigation, decided by a
vote of Z to 5 that Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah is not entitled to his seat in the SEN
ate. In all, three separate votes were taken
by the committee, showing curious contra
dictons. Beside the one mentioned, a mo-
ton to exclude Senator Smoot was voted
down and a motion to expel him resulted in
tie vote thus deciding it in the negative.
Thus it is the duty of Chairman Burrows to
report to the senate that the committee
found Mr.. Smoot not entitled to his seat,
but could not determine the method by
which the seat should be vacated This
will leave the question of exclusion or ex-
pulsion to be decided by the senate. The
majority report to the senate is expected to
be completed today, and Senator Burrows
will press for action on the Smoot case at
this session, which is not expected to be
taken. Senator Foraker will formulate the
minority report which, it is understood, will
present powerful argument in favor of Mr..
Smoot.

A PARTY THE ONLY SOLUTION.

1t Is an accepted truth of political
science that a party divided against
itself on any question of public policy,
cannot settle that issue. The Repub-
lican party, led by Theodore Roose-
welt, trust-buster, and Senators Aid
rich, Foraker and their pals, trust
tools, will never settle the trust ques-
ton nor will a political party COM
posed of bishops and brewers, deacOns
and distillers, preachers and bartend-
erS, ever settle the saloon problem.
The Democratic party is even more
hOpeleSsly divided on all these QueS-
tions of public policy.
Independent voting, that enthrones
first one and then the other of these
corrupt parties, will not solve the pro-
blem. History demonstrates that
when a corrupt machine is overthrow
by such methods, ultimately the same
or another corrupt gang secures con-
troll through the lack of permanent
organization of the reformers. A po-
litical party is the only form of pol
itical organization that has ever held
men together for any length of time
on behalf of any principle or policy.
This is especially the one great lesson
of Is years of conflict with the IL
quor traffic and thinking men are re-
cognizing this truth as never before.
Truly the fields are white unto the
harvest for the Prohibition party. 1t
is unquestionably true that if the vot-
ers could be convinced that the Pro-
hibition party had a fighting chance
for victory, they would rally to our
standards by the thousands.
1t is up to US to demontrate that we
have the practical sense to reap what
we have sown.-Beacon Light, IS.

we'll calculated to demonstrate this
fact.

THE MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL.
The Track Now Laid to Edge Of City
Near Brickyard.

The track laying on the Missis-
sippi Central Railroad between
Brookhayen and Hatltesburg, was
yesterday completed to within q
few yards Of the tracks of the
Brookhaven and Pearl River
Railroad, at a point between
Pearlhaven and Seavey's Brick
yard. Until the line of the Mis-
sissippi Central is permanently
located through this city on its
westward course to Natchez, it is
understood that it will use the
tracks of the Pearl River road
from where it connects with it near
the Brickyard, down to the de-
pot. The complete connection
at the junction of the two roads,
so that trains can run, will be
made in a few days, when the
chief officials of the Mississippi
Central will be present. The date
of the first train through from
Hattiesburg to Brookhaven has
not yet been announced, but it
will be sometime in the very near
future.
Plans are alrea dy in progress by
the members of the BrookhaVen
Progressive Union and other citl-
zens to celebrate the occasion and
extend an appropriate welcome to
the Mississippi Central officials
and other distinguished visitors.
The coming of the M. G. will
mark new era in the growth and
prosperity Of Brookhaven and is
an event to be welcomed with joy
land enthusiasm.
