MATTERS OF OPINION.
Selected from the Editorial Columns Of Our
Esteemed Contemporaries.
Caucus Law Must Go.

The caucus law will probably have TO go.
II has failed TO find popular favor, and there
is little prospect that il will do so, II al
lowed to stand longer. The declaration
requirement is the laws weak feature, al
though as whole ii seems to be cumber'
some and expensive. Good citizens balk at
being forced TO announce their political pref
erence months ahead of election, under pen
atty of being barred from the primaries. 1t
doesn't accord with the common idea of the
secrecy Of the ballot. Some other method
will surely have to be devised.
The objects Of legal regulation of caucuses
are two The primaries should be protected
from the corrupt use OF money or other in
fiuences that tend TO pervert the true and
honest will OF the voters. Secondly, the
primaries of one party should not be partici-
pated in by the voters belonging to other
parties The first object can be attained only
by straight prohibition. The second pre-
sents a difficult problem. inasmuch as it is
not clear how voters can be properly elassi.
fed long enough ahead TO admit Of the prep.
aration of voting lists, or even how 1t can be
done at all without offending that sense
which holds that it is nobody's business but
the voters with which party he acts
Perhaps a simple regulation prohibiting a
voter from acting in the primaries OF more
than one party during single canvass VIII
be as effective as anything that can be de.
vised This requirement, If enforced, would
go about as far as experience has shown it
is possible to go in directing the voter as TO
what caucuses he may or may not enter.
We favored the present caucus law at its
passage, as the best one presented, and 1t
looked promising enough in prospect, but in
operation 1t has failed, and should make way
for something better adapted to our needs
and easier of execution.

The late Joseph Manley, for many
years republican campaign manager in
Maine, used to send out on the eve of
September elections an estimate OF the
republican plurality considerably below
what he really expected. Then, on the
night Of election, the country would be
profoundly impressed to think that
Maine had done even better than the
republican manager expected Thad
M. Chapman, chairman of the Vermont

BRATrLEBoRo, FRIDAY, SEPT. IA, 10
Who Stood by the PRESIDENT

"Stand by the president - is the cry
which the republican leaders have been
using in various states for the purpose
of keeping the party vote up TO its
normal level. In Vermont last week
this slogan did not prevent over 2o,ooo
voters from casting their ballots for the
fusion candidate for governor, nor was
it successful Monday in Maine, where
Governor Cobb was reelected by the
smallest plurality given republican
governor since the civil war, with one
exception. While the large democratic
vote in the Pine Tree state was due IN
large measure to growing feeling
against the prohibitory law, particularly
in the cities and large towns, the result
has broader significance than that due
to local issues. This is especially true
of the fight which President Gompers of
the American federation of labor made
against Congressman Littlefeld, whose
plurality was reduced to less than a
fourth of its usual size. The gauntlet
thrown down by the labor forces was
taken up by the republican congress
sional committee, and Secretary OF war
Taft, Senators Lodge and Beveridge
and Speaker Cannon were sent to the
assistance of Mr.. Littlefeld.
"Stand by the president was the
keynote of the addresses which these
men made in arguing for the election OF
Mr.. Littlefeld and other republican
congressman. Their claim was that the
president must be backed by republi-
can house of representatives if he is to
continue his good works in behalf of the
nation. And yet the record of the last
session of congress shows that the dem
ocratic members were fully as loyal to
President Roosevelt as their republican
colleagues. Most of the important
measures. such as the railroad rate bill,
the meat inspection bill, the pure food
bill and the free alcohol bill were finally
passed with non-partisan unanimity,
while the Philippine tariff measure was
defeated by republican opposition in
spite. of democratic support. Indeed,
there is scarcely anything in the record
of the democratic members of the last
session of congress to warrant the as
sumption that continuance of national
welfare depends upon their defeat.

Automobile owners are bowling
because Mr.. Eames has seen fit TO cover
the lower part of Canal street hill with
gravel at this time of year No doubt
the highway at that point will eventu-
ally be improved as the result of the
road commissioner s action, but the adj
visibility of putting on gravel at this
season is open to question. When traffic
to and from the fair grounds begins it is
likely that other people besides auto

If Road Commissioner Eames wishes
to stand well with the women of the
community he will at once fill up the
holes made by horses left standing on
the edges of Main street These holes
fill with water, which drains from the
sidewalks in front of stores where win
dows are washed and collects from the
watering carts, and when full make
splendid places for horses to stamp in.
No doubt the horses enjoy stamping
their hoofs in the water, but the stamp
ing process is very likely to take place
when some freshly Numbered duck skirt
is passing, and the result is spoiled

The lack of knowledge that some
people have about political matters was
amusingly illustrated the other day
Two local men were discussing the
Clement. Webb stock transaction, which
was given such publicity during the re-
cent campaign, one of the men claiming
that Colonel Webb was "stuck ~ by
Mr.. Clement. The other man replied
that Colonel Webb had written letter
saying that he bought the stock in the
open market and that the letter was
published in the state papers at the
time A day or two after the argument
the first man told the second that he
was wrong about the letter. ~ have
seen Mr. Webb myself, y said Arguer
No. |. "and he tells me he never wrote
any such letter. 'Where did you see
him." inquired Arguer No. .. 81 went
up TO his home, the Methodist parson-
age. and he told me so there was the
answer. The man was telling the truth
as far as he knew it, but the hole in his
argument lay in the fact that he had

COULD NOT REST
NIGHT OR DAY
With irritating Skin Humor Whole
Body Affected Scalp ltched All
the Time and Hair Began to Fall
Out Wonderful Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTICURA REMEDIES

ri am never without Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment since I tried
them last summer. About the latter
part of July my whole body began to
itch I did not take much notice of it
at first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds Of, baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but became worse all
the time. Ny hair began to fall out and
my scalp itohed all the time. Espe-
cially at night, just as soon as would
get in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and 1t was not
long before could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and did, and the first appli-
cation helped me wonderfully. For
about four weeks I would take hot
bath every night and then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
an l kept getting better, and by the
time used four boxes of Cuticura / was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but / continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dam
druf out and scalp Is always clean. I
always use Cuticura Ointment on my
face after shaving, and have found
nothing to equal It. will never be-
