JOHN AN UNLUCKY ROYAL
NAME.

1t is strange how good or bad for
tune seems to attend certain names;
and this is the more marked in the
persons OF royalty, on account of THEN
conspicuous position, than in the case
of the ordinary individual. Among
soYereigns it is doubtful which must be
considered the most unIucky name, but
it is probable that John is the name of
i'll omen.
For instance, John of England has
always been branded as an infamous
monarch, character which he hardly
deserved; still it was his luck. John
of France was captured by the Black
Prince who, by the way, was not the
hero we have been taught to consider
him, but a very INSCRIPTIONS ruffian.
John Ballot of Scotland has been de-
spised by his fellow countrymen be-
cause he pandered too much to the
English.
Robert III. of Scotland changed his
name from John, but the i'll luck of the
name chung to him. During his life
time he was worried to the verge of
despair by his brother, the Duke of
Albany. He was himself a cripple,
his eldest son was starved to death in
prison, and his youngest, when on a
voyage to France was captured by the
English. Robert Ill died of a broken
heart
John [. of Bohemia was blind: John
l., Pope, was imprisoned by Alaric,
King of the Goths, and Pope John X.
was driven from Rome by Guy Duke
of Tuscany. John XII, Pope, was sup
posed to have been poisoned by his
brother Alberto, who kept him a pris-
oner in the Lateran. John XIV. also
died in prison from poison or starva-
ton John XIV. assembled the papal
and was forced to flee to Tuscany
where he died of fever. Nor was John
XVI. more fortunate, for he was dub
bed the "Anti-Pope,' and after a va
ried career, which lasted only eleven
months, he was brutal1y tortured and
then consigned to a dungeon, whence
he never emerged alive.
John I. of Constantinople was poi
soned; John II. was killed While boar
hunting; and John Ill was dethroned,
his eyes were put out, and he was cast
into prison, where he died. John I.
of CASTLE was killed by a fall from
his horse. This is only a portion of
the long list of unlucky Johns. but it
will serve to show that there is good
reason for claiming that monarchs
should avoid the name, if they pos
sibly can.-Tit-Bits.

The Burlington News has made clear
and truthful analysis Of our increased
state expenses in an article which is re-
printed in this paper. It is a statement
which makes the situation ineligible for
those who haven't the time to figure
these things out for themselves. Read the
article and see what you would cut out

now in the way and on the same basis
of expense that families and individuals
we're living 25 years ago. Houses are
better furnished, tables have a far great
er variety of food, the daughters and
sons are better dressed, there is more

In no other single move of their cam
paign have Mr.. Clement and his Demo-
cratic co-workers discredited themselves
so completely as in their alleged diseased
beef disclosures. They sprung the sem
sation with the evident expectation that it
would create a revulsion of public sem
timent in their favor. On the contrary,
as soon as the real facts were disclosed,
the people of Vermont saw that, grant
ing the charges to be true, the men who
made them had been conceallng a crime
for nearly a year. allowing the public

they thought the time was ripe to gain po-

Clements Defense on the Coal Rate.

The Democratic candidate is making a
bad matter worse by trying to explain
about his special rate on coal from Rut-
land to New Haven Junction. He says
it is simply a customary favor granted by
one railroad to another. The trouble
with that explanation is that 1t is Illegal.
Section 1902 OF Vermont Statutes requires
that railroads grant equal terms to every
body. Mr.. Clements railroad has had
this very question in court, and the prop
osition which Mr.. Clement makes was
turned down in court.
When Mr.. Clement was president of the
Rutland railroad that company and the
Central Vermont Railroad company made
a special rate on coal from Norwood, N.
Y, to Montpelier of 30 cents a ton to the
Montpelier & Wells River Railroad COM
pany, and at the same time they charged
other people $1.S5 per ton, between the
same points.
The Capital City Gas company Of Mont
pelier brought suit before the interstate
commerce commission on the ground that
the gas company was paying $1.S5 a ton,
and that the 30 cent rate to the Mont
pelier G. Wells River Railroad company
was an unlawful discrimination. This
case was heard and is reported in Vol. IL
of the interstate commerce commission
reports, page 104 and the commission
held that the 90 cent rate on coal to the
Montpelier & Wells River Railroad COM
pany. even though II was intended for
railroad supply, was an unjust and un-
lawful discrimination, and that by law
the railroads were obliged to make just
as low a rate for domestic use and man
ufacturing purposes as for railroad sup
ply.
The opinion OF the interstate commits
sion In that case is interesting reading
to the people of Vermont just now.
SO Mr.. Clements defense is destroyed
by a decision against his own company
in similar case
More than that, the secret rate granted
to Mr.. Clements Bristol railroad COM
pany did not limit 1t to railroad supply
coal. Mr.. Clement has these rates. Let
him publish them in his newspaper and
let him show them to the people. He
also has all the freight vouchers on coal
to the Bristol railroad since March 1,
1896. Let him show these to the public.
No, Mr. Clement, your explanation does
| not go. lou nave Adu a ScChSl9 pAANdtSg
special rate for your own personal BEN
eft and 1t has taken one dollar a ton out
of the people OF Bristol according to the
interstate commerce commission. This is
against the law Of the state Of Vermont
You have failed to make returns for your
railroad to the railroad commissioners as
the law requires and give as an excuse
that your bookkeeping Is not complete
enough to tell how much coal you haul
over your railroad each year. That is
what your superintendent wrote to the
railroad commission on March "a. 1904.
And more than that, Mr. Clement has
continued to benefit by his secret rate Of
20 cents a ton from Rutland to New
Haven Junction after the interstate com
merce commission had held that such {
deal was unlawful. So he cannot plead
ignorance Of the law.
1t is square case of disObeying thu

What Do You say?

The ST. Adams Messenger addresses
these timely words to those Republicans
who take no stock in Mr.. Clement as a
man, or in his wholesale charges against
the state. but who say they are going
to vote for him because they think it Is
time for a change
Mr. Clement has published to the
country far and wide a description Of
Vermont and her condition that rep
resents her to be in most shameful
plight, a disgrace to herself and a
humiliation to the nation of which she
is part. The country is waiting to
see whether the people right here in
Vermont that know the facts will tes-
tify at the polls next Tuesday that
Mr.. Clements charges are true.
'Friend-you that propose to vote
the fusion ticket not because 1t is
headed by Mr.. Clement but because
you want "change'-do you realize
that your vote will be read by the
public everywhere as a confirmation
by the freemen of Vermont of every
one of these charges that Mr.. Clement
has made against your state?
''Win you help Mr.. Clement by your
vote to give Vermont a bad name
abroad that a generation Of good
works cannot overcome?"

ticket carries nine nominations and seven
of the nominees are Democrats. The
two so-called Independent Republicans
who were permitted to go on the ticket
by the Democrats are running for the
offices Of high bailiff and assistant judge.
The man who casts a vote for the fusion

Senators, Democratic states attorney

The News once more calls the attention
Of its readers to the patriotic, statesman
like words of P. w. Clement, the Per-
sonally Conducted Candidate for Govern
or, in some Of his public speeches. We

In view of the active personal canvass
that is being made for his opponent on

C. Bacon, candidate for states attorney
on the Republican county ticket, to say
that he is Justly entitled to receive every

w. Clement from responsibility for the
15 per cent state tax Of 1900 by saying
that he opposed the tax in committee and
on the floor Of the Senate. This is baby
talk, and makes Mr.. Clement out either
n weakling or non compos in legisla-
tive matters. Mr.. Clement. as chairman
of the Senate finance committee. intro
duced the bill imposing this tax. If he
was opposed to the tax the proper and
natural course would have been for him
to decline to report the majority bill
and to present a minority report Mr..
Clement was familiar enough with leg

cannot escape his responsibility through

If any Republican, proud of his connec-
ton with the party of Lincoln and Roose-
welt, should go TO the polls next Tues
day with an intention, for any reason
whatever, to vote the fusion ticket, let
him, before marking his ballot, pause long
enough to consider the fact that in the
more than so years Of Republican lead
ership in Vermont not a single state Of
ficial has been proven corrupt, and that
during all this time not a breath Of scam

Mr.. Clements Remedy for Double Taxa
atian

alton.
Hon. Charles P. Smith of Burlington.
in an interview published in the Free
Press Of Tuesday, takes the same view Of
Mr.. Clements proposed remedy for
double taxation as was expressed in The
Phoenix last week. Mr.. Clements plan,
1t win be remembered, is to: "offset the
mortgage against the farm, and tax the
mortgage in the town where it is re-
corded" Mr. Smith said
Mr. Clement and every other man
who has given any attention to the double
taxation problem must know that the
proposed plan has been tried and ex-
ploded many times. On Its face 1t is
unmistakably attractive but in practice
it has always been a complete failure.
within four of five years the legis-
lature of Missouri yielded to thel de-
mand of farm owners and enacted Just
such a law as Mr.. Clement proposes.
1t resulted in the Withdrawal of all large
loaning interests, and this with the In
creased rate of interest on such loans
as were made had so disastrous an
effect on the farming interests of the
state that the next legislature repealed
the law at the demand Of the very farm
owners who had urged It, Michigan, too
tried the same law several years ago and
after it had been in operation a short
time a majority of the legislators who
enacted the law petitioned the governor
to call an extra session Of the legislature
to repeal It, Other states have tried the
same plan but everywhere II has not only
utterly failed to solve the problem but
has resulted disastrously."
Mr., Smith is the president Of the Bur-
lington Savings bank, the largest insti-
tuition OF its kind in Vermont. and he is
recognized as leading authority on
financial matters.
In a more extended statement, pub
lished in the St. Adams Messenger. Full
Ter C. Smith OF that place, shows by
unanswerable facts and logic that Mr.
Clements plan would drive all money fol
investment out of the state and work
financial ruin for our home interests
Loans would be called and could not b'
paid; foreclosure and sale OF mortgaget
property would follow and the worst
financial distress which ever cursed {
state or country would work to the END
