Fight Should Be a Grand One
as Berger is Clever While
Kaufman is a ROugher

While the candidates for Congress are
Gearing up and down the State sowing the
aed for political votes in the November
election, two other candidates with am
itions along another direction are dill
gently collecting votes in the shape CT
arge-sized slumber pills rolled in neat
leather packages. Sam Berger and Al
Kaufman, both products of the same
school OF boxing. will come together on
the last day Of this month to settle a
question that has been bothering the fol-
lowers of the game ever since they re-
ceived their first instructions in the
Queensberry lore. The people will only
have passive vote in the affair, the
tnal verdict being left to Jack Welch,
who has been selected TO referee the con-
hest. The gate TO the championship Of
the world will be open to the winner,
with Jack o'Brien as the ticket taker.
Kaufman has been on the ground a
lnouple OF days and has started training.

The Platform and Transportation.
Huntington Free Press

The state Republican platform squarely
places the party in line with the nation
al administration in the war that is be-
ing waged against railroad favoritism and
discrimination. II calls for such state
legislation as may be necessary to safe
guard the people of Vermont against rail-
road favoritism in commerce within the
state. This is timely and pertinent Com
missioner Garfield's report on the discrim-
ination In favor of the Standard Oil
company, shows that the teneAcles of that
octopus have reached Vermont and hold
the transportation lines Of our own state
within their grasp. There are some things
we can do in Vermont to strike down that
wrong and we should do them.
Then too, 1t has appeared in connec-
tion with the investigation of our state
institutions that in years past certain
coal companies have had a secret rate.
which has simply driven out competition
in those portions Of the state where the
rate applied. It is claimed that this has
particularly worked to the injury Of the
hospital for the insane, in that II prac-
ucally prevented competition for years.
Conditions at Windsor were not so bad
though 1t seems that at times the price
of coal at Windsor has been Of necessity
higher than at White River Junction he
cause Of discriminating freight rate in
favor Of the latter place. For years there
was on the Rutland railroad rank dis
elimination in favor of certain stations
but 1t Is claimed that under the present
management Of that road this situation
has changed.
In this connection 1t should be noted
that our state law is defective in its
provision relative to freight rate dis
elimination. Section 1901 of the Vermont
statutes prohibits a railroad from charg-
Ing larger rate for freight for a less
distance than is charged for a greater dis
lance. Section 1892 requires railroads to
give to all persons equal terms for the
transportation of merchandise, but the
trouble is that there is no penalty pro-
vfded. The only remedy is in an action
at law "the party aggTieved'' to recover
the excess. The law seems to have been
avoided by the coal companies making
the price for coal delivered so the con-
sumer is not privy to the contract with
the railroad company for hauling the coal.
In Massachusetts and in many other
states, there is not only this remedy for
the party aggrleved, but a penalty for
each offence is also imposed upon the
railroad allowing the discrimination. In
Massachusetts, the penalty is 5000 for
each Offence
The Vermont law should be strength
ened and a good way TO do it is to provide
penalty, so that the state can strike
| directly at the root of this evil The state
| Republican platform calls for such a law
| and the party should see 10 it at the COM
ing session of the legislature that its
| representatives and senators heed the
| mandate.

Sudden Death Of Mrs. chas. D. Whitaker.

Sudden Death Of Mrs. chas. D. Whitaker.
A sudden attack Of neuralgia of the
heart caused the death Of Mrs. Charles D.
Whitaker, A, at her home at Oak
street Wednesday morning. Her death
was a great shock to her family and
friends, who had considered her to be in
excellent health. Mrs. Whitaker went to
bed about 1890 o'clock Tuesday night.
Her younger son, Paul A. Whitaker, had
been injured in the face, although not
seriously, by the explosion of a large
firecracker, and about midnight Mrs
Whitaker arose and bathed his wounds.
She appeared to be well then, but at
o clock the attack of neuralgia came, and
two physicians were summoned. She en-
dured pain large part of the time. but
the end came peacefully soon after
o'clock.
Mrs whitaker's maiden name was Jen-
ME G. Archibald. She was born in Law
renee, Mass oct. 10, 1853. and was a
daughter of James and Jane (McLean)
Archibald. When she was an infant the
family moved to Hnsdale, N. H., which
was Mrs Whitaker's home until three
years ago when she came to Brattleboro.
She was married to Charles ID. Whitaker
of Hinsdale in August. 1877. Mr.. Whitaker
built Hotel Ashuelot in Hinsdale and
conducted II 10 years afterwards running
a hotel in Turner's Falls. Mass. 10 years,
but during all that time the family lived
in Hinsdale. Mr.. whitaker bought an
interest in the Hooker, Corser & Mitchell
overall business I'm November, 1902. after
which the family came to Brattleboro.
Mrs. Whitaker was a woman of un-
usually pleasing personality. one with
whom It was a pleasure to associate.
She had high ideals and noble purposes,
and took an active interest in benevolent
work. She was a member of the board of
management of the Brattleboro Womans
,rt rFass lfar
to the Y. NJ. G. A. of Brattleboro and Of
the Congregational church of Hinsdale.
Besides her husband and one brother
John J. Archibald OF Claremont, N H.,
she leaves one daughter. Miss Grace A.
Whitaker, and two sons. William c.
Whitaker and Paul a. Whitaker, all of
whom live at home.
The funeral will be held at the house
at 1.30 o'clock this afternoon. Rev. II. r.
Miles. pastor of the Congregational
church. will ofhciate and the burial will
be In Hinsdale

What? Dragging about numbers? It
is easy enough to get numbers wnen you

Brattleboro were appointed, not chosen.
Looking over the list in the local directory
we find the makeup of Clements delega-
ton from this town of the following COM
plexion Two blacksmiths livery stable
employe, lawyer, fish dealer, ex-bartender
lunch room proprietor shoe repalrer, cigar
salesman, printer, grain sacker, hack
driver. barber. One delegate has no'oc-
cupation given but boards at a certain
street number, and the names of two del
egates do not appear in the directory at
all. Clements ticket from here to the
Republican state convention four years
ago was made up of prominent and pro-
fessional men with large interests, but
we find none of them under Clements
banner this year.
