Startling But True.

People the world over were hor-
rifed on learning of the burning of
a Chicago theater in which nearly
six hundred people lost their lives,
yet more than five times this num-
Der or over 5000 people died from
pneumonia in Chicago during the
same year, with scarcely a passing
notice. Every one of these cases
of pneumonia resulted from cold
and could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. A great many
who had every reason to fear pneu-
monia have warded it off by the
prompt use of this remedy. The
following is an instance of this
sort: "Too much cannot be said
in favor of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and especially for colds
and influenza. I know that it cur
ed my daughter, Laura, of a severe
cold, and I believe saved her life
when she was threatened with
pneumonia" W. D. Wilcox, Lo-

The railroad companies claim
that under the Hepburn bill they
would be without prompt remedy
against an unjust commissions
made rate. Under the present
system the public is without a
prompt remedy against an unjust
private made rate. The ideal sys.
tenn would be one in which both
the railroads and the public would
have a prompt remedy against un-
just rates.

Sick Headache.

This distressing ailment results
from a disordered condition of the
stomach. All that is needed to ef-
feet a cure is a dose or two of
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets. In fact the attack may
be warded off or greatly lessened
in severity by taking a dose of
these Tablets AS soon as the first
symptom of an attack appears.

BETTER LABOR CONDITIONS.

A report has been issued by the bureau
OF labor of an investigation into wages
and hours of labor in 1905 in the PRINCIPAL
manufacturing and mechanical Industries
of the United States. 1t gives the aver
age wages and hours Of labor aud tho
number of employees in the various estab-
lishments in both 1904 and 1908 and the
report says cit is believed they are fa irly
representative of the industries investi-
gated"
The results of this investigation show
that in 1905 the average wages per hour in
the principal manufacturing and mechani-
cal industries of the country were 1.G per
cent. higher than in 1901; that the aver
age hours of labor per week rema;uc !
the same as in 1901, and that 6.3 per cent.
more persons were employed in The estab-
lishments investigated. As there was 10
reduction in the average hours of labor
per week, the average weekly earnings
per cmploye were 1.6 per cent. higher than
in 1904. As there was an increase in the
number of employees. as well as in the
weekly earnings per employee, there was !,
considerable Increase in the weekly earn.
ings of all employees. This increa,. wa
eight per cent. in the establishments in.
vestigated. 1t is added that when the fig,
ures relating to wages and hours of Ia
Dor and those relating TO retail prices o
food are compared. It is seen that tn,
retail prices of food. due weight beir;
given to the quantity and cost Of the diff
ferent commodities consumed, were O.G pc
cent. higher in 1905 than in 1904. AS tn,
average wages per hour increased mo-,
than the retail prices of food, ,he PR
chasing power of wages increased. In 131
the purchasing power of both hourly an,
weekly wages was ! per cent. higher tina
in 1904; or, expressed in other words, a
hours wages in 1905 would purchase / pc
cent. more food than an hours wages /
1904.

bill for $500 for expenses on this trip
which the trustees at that time were
willing to allow but the State auditor re-
fused to allow the bill and it was paid

The gift of s35" was simply a reduce

The ~wagonette and sleigh were the per-

.ignifcant and gratifying conclusion:

significant and gratifying conclusion:
w find no evidence of graft or fraud
In n department, officer. or employee
connected with the House of Correction"
This is the verdict of a non-partisan or
n bipartisan committee of investigation,
representing the two great political par
ties In the State. The financial expert is
one whose ability has commended him 90
the democratic candidate for governor,
and his services were employed by the
committee before the beginning Of the
present campaign.
There is not a fair-minded citizen In tho
state who will not say that the evidence
of this body of men representing both
leading political parties, and chosen for
the express purpose OF investigating the
conditions and finances of the House Of
Correction and other State institutions
without fear or favor, is to be accepted
ing to detract from the good name of
Vermont in order TO persuade the people
TO entrust him with the control OF our
State government.
Percival w. Clement has charged that
there was graft In connection with tn,
House of Correction. Now which will you
believe, the four men, two republicans and
two democrats, who have been engaged in
this work of investigation, or the man
who Is making wicked assertions without
having Investigated? Whom will you be-
lieve, the four men who did not have any
personal interest in the outcome, or thc
man who is m%isreprescnting things gen
orally in order to secure the governor
ship?
If YOU believe the committee and Mr.
Pratt, then Mr.. Clement stands convicted
of libel of a leading state institution am
those connected with its management, as
well as of besmirching the fair name o.
our grand old State.

In addition to 81, 30 for printing the His
tory of Vermont in the Civil War, we find
that G. G. Benedict. editor of the Free
Press, was paid 1860 for editing the said
history.
So says the Clement literary bureau.
But no 81, $50 and no dollar was ever paid
from the State treasury for printing the
History Of Vermont in the Civil War.
That history, to the preparation Of which
Mr.. Benedict gave seven years of arduous
labor, without any for consid-
cradle expenses incurred by him in col
lecting material and paying assistants
in the work, was published by subscrip-
ton, and was printed without expense to
the State, as all who knew anything about
the business know. The 1880 item which
some muckraker for Mr.. Clement has dis
covered was a payment to the publishers
of the history for copies thereof distri-
buted, under authority of law, to the pub.
lie libraries, Grand Army posts and towr
clerks for the use of the public in the
towns. For these copies the State o:
course paid, at the same price that indi.
vidual subscribers paid.
The matter is worth mentioning only al
q sample of the unreliability, not to say
falsity, of many of Mr.. Clements allege,
facts and figures.

WHAT our NEIGHBORS SAY
Democratic Misrepresentation Dis
proved by Report of NOn-Partfsnn
Investigating Committee.


The report of the state Investigating
committee of conditions of the Rutland
house of correction, the salient features
of which were printed in the Evening
News of Saturday, cannot fail to at
tract the attention of every thoughtful
voter in Vermont. No one will have the
hardihood to say that the report in any
wise is n "whitewash" of that institu-
ton. The personnel of the investigating
committee, Col. n. G. Williams of Bel
lows Falls. II. +. Brigham of Bakers
field and G. Fl. A. Stafford of Morrisville,
is sufficient to put at rest any such sus-
picion If it exists. Furthermore, the re-
port of F. S. Pratt of Brattlcboro, the
expert accountant, embodied in the gen.
eral report, preclrdcd any possibility OF
favoritism to the present and past ad-
ministration of this State institution. Mr..
Pratt, it will be remembered. is in the
employ of +. W. Clement, the Personally
Conducted Candidate for Governor, in
the work of examining the financial con-
dition Of state institutions.
The gist of the rcpor, Of the house of
correction is that the business has been
honestly and efficiently conducted and
that no evidence of graft in any way.

improvements are recommended. but
they concern minor matters such as
might be found in the investigation Of
any institution of any State. to bring
its methods up in line with modern APP
proved methods of doing DlsTness.
The directors of the institution and
the superintendent. -. +" Morgan, ar"
unqualifedly commended for their
splendid stewardship Of the house of cor
%roction: the discipline and moral condi-
tons are found to be beyond criticism:
and the financial management is APPROX
ed without reservation.
If p. w. Clement. the arcn critic Of
Vermont and her institutions, can find
any crumh of comfor from this report
of the house of correction he can extract
GUNNER supshine from a cucumber. The
report of the members of the commits
sion and Of their export accountant
places indisputably the stamp of false
hood on the Clement charges of graft
and Acknowledgement. The question that
cannot fail to present itself now to every
unprecedented voter is this: Has PerCival
w. Clement tho fairness TO admit that
all of his i~nnuendoes or covert charges
of graft are utterly without foundation?
While the report of the special inves-
tigating committee can in no wise be
considered as relevant TO the present po-
litical contest in this state. what better
campaign document can the republicans
OF Vermont wish for than this unhia sod

THE JUGGLING OF FIGURES.

The question Of the attendance at cam
paisn rallies in different parts of the
State Is in danger Of becoming an issue
in the present contest. Now every news
paper man knows that It is a difficult
natter to m the size of a crowd.
and the town correspondent. who is not
accustomed to this work may easily err
without the knowledge Of his paper. If
the local correspondent does make a
mistake, the editor of his paper has to
stand the responsibility therefor, for the
editor can nave no possible knowledge OF
the facts in the case.
In the case of the Rutland Herald the
situation is entirely different. A press
censor accompanies the democratic cam
didate and the reports of the fusion rail-
lies are edited by the political censor of
the Herald before they are published. In
the light of this explanation the follow
ing editorial from the Mortified News,
which did such effective work in show
ing of the Herald's bogus grapevine mes
sage about petitions, ha, special signi-
fcance:
The Rutland Herald's report of the
attendance at the fusion rally in North
field again proves the ract that truth is
stranger than fiction, in its news col
umns, during a political campaign
After stating that it was the larges'
rally ever held in Mortified and one OF
the largest known in Washington county
the dispatch says:
"The rally was held out 9f doors, thu
audience being seated on the slope of
great natural amphitheater. 1t was diff
cult to estimate their number, but al
agree that there were over 1000 present
The streets below the slope We're blocked
with carriages. hundreds driving in from
out Of town.
The general estimate OF attendance b,
those competent to Judge was 1000 PEG
pie which included men, women an
children. The News believes this a con
sentative estimate but 10 be sure tina
no injustice Is done 1t gives in the repor
Of the meeting the numser at 100 whic
was the largest estimate made by any
one so far as 1t knows, with the excep
tion of one man who put it at 900. A
attendance of 1000 is a large crow
around the village band stand.
There was hardly a person preser
from out of town with the exception c
several gentlemen who came up fror
Montpelier with Mr.. Senter, and CON
r paratively few teams from outside III
village limits. Political rallies in Mon
= pelier, the county seat of Washingto
county, are frequently attended by so
people. II the fusion movement genera
; ~ IS based on such exaggerated figure
as in this case, the people who Deepen
. upon the Herald for Information on II
subject, will have a disappointment con
ing to them the morning after the da
before, early in September.
