WHO PAYS THE FREIGHTs

A resident of Windsor county who
wanted to go into bankruptcy was aston
ished recently to find that his case had
been continued When he asked his law
yer about the matter the latter said:
Your creditors thought IL you could
pay your wav to Burlington to attend
the independent convention. you could pay
them something.
i "Oh did not pay TO travel. l had
ticket given me to Rutland, and travelled
the would-be bankrupt.
yes, but you put UP at the best hotel
and lived like prince" said his attorney.
That's so. but it did not cost me any
thing" replied the late ''machine-made"
representative Of the people.
But your creditors think If you could
have all kinds of drinks galore at such a
time, you should be able to pay them at
least a part of what you owe them"
II did not pay out a cent for beer, or
other drinks or cigars" replied the man
chine" politics Everything was free"
The question that now presents itself
| to the voters Of Vermont in connection
with this machine convention Is:
Who paid the freight?
| Another Democratic worker in southern
Vermont is lamcntng because he adj
vanced money to help pay the way OF
some of the independent delegates to Bur
lington according to instructions. He says
he has written six times, but can not get
his money back.
| Who pays the freight?
There are other questions which stand
up in the present campaign like Church
spires mid village cots"
We were informed that one of the in
dependent planks was to be that this
should not be n money campaign, bu
this plank died abornin." There have
also been some strange financial phe
lnomena in connection with the evolution
of the Kindley idea, the Ben. darlington
idea and other spontaneous twin hot
house ideas.
If somebody in Rutlaud was surprised
when the Bennington idea fell like dul
thud on the coffin of his hopes to scool
the republican nomination for governor
land petitions were sent broadcast from
Rutland to be signed.

were entirely spontaneous, but

THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF VERNON

Candid democrats admit that they have
no hope of electing their State ticket, and
say the most they hope to do is to cut
down the republican majority to small
figure. The question that now presents
Itself is what kind of a man is the next
governor of our State to be and what
can we expect of him?
Fletcher D. Proctor's life has been like
an open book and what a man has
done he is likely to keep on doing in the
future.
TO begin with Mr. Proctor has beaut-
full home life, and this means much when
we remember that in our government pre-
emnen,ly the home is the foundation Of
society.
In the next place the world knows that
Fletcher d. Proctor is public spirited
The hospital and the Y. NJ. c. A. building
at Proctor, the recreation building and
reading rooms in Proctor, Center Rutland
and West Rutland and the other benefac-
tions of the Proctor family in which he
has been an enthusiHs site co-operator, show
that he is generous public benefactor.
True some try to bclittle all this by
saying that it is for the benefit of en-
ployes. Well, accepting this interpreted
ton of the democrats can they point to
anything OF the kind that Clement ever
did for TIE welfare and development of
the laboring men he ever employed In his
different capacities?
We also know that Mr.. Proctor has the
welfare of the individual taxpayer of Yer
mont at heart. for he voted to lift the bur
den Of state taxation from their shoulders
while his opponent voted to make the
taxpayers keep on bearing that burden sc
that the corporations might not bear thelI
Just share of the burden.
Under these conditions the people OF
Vermont do not have to take the wore
of the next governor that he will do all II
his power to tighten their burden OF taxa
ton, for his past action Is a guaranty o
what he will do In the future.
The people of Vermont know that Mr.
Proctor is a believer in progress all aloni

is an able business man, and is certain t
give the State a thorough business admin
(stration He believes in the greatest ecor
omy in State affairs consistent with tn
the best progress of the people. He q
progressive, and If there is any practice
way of increasing the prosperity Of Vel
mont as a tourist center, as a manufat
turing and agricultural State Fletcher l
Proctor can be depended upon to seek o,
that opportunity.
In word, Fletcher d. Proctor has TT
laudable ambition to give Vermont one
the most progressive and creditable az
ministrations In the history of our con
monwealth, and the more people SEQ
him the more convinced are t"av that
has the zeal as we'll as the ability to fu
nil that commendable purpose.

Entertained by Spokane Union.

The local carpenters union left
early yesterday morning for Spokane
where they participated in the big
labor day parade of Spokane un-
ions. They were met at the depot
by delegation of the Spokane Car
penters Union, No. 80 and were tax
en- to the hall Of that union where
they were given badges. After re-
naming there short time they took
their places in the parade, the Spo-
kane union confering honors on the
Occur d'Alene contingent by giving
them first place in the line of carpen-
tiers.
The aftermath was perhaps the
most entertaining and satisfying, for
the hosts piloted the guests to Daven
ports restaurant, where they were
given banquet of the best that hos
telry afforded, and a pleasant time
was spent around he festive board.
Not until late in the evening did
the locals return to the city, and they
are loud in their praises of the hospi.

Dangerous Floater.

About 200 yards out in the lake,
directly in front Of Cumbersome
dock, and almost in the path Of the
steamers landing at the Northern Fa-
cific dock, there is a dead head or
pile, whose top is on the level Of the
water, and it can not be easily seen
from a boat. Several times boats
landing at this dock have narrowly
escaped being damaged by running
on this pile. The owners of serveral
launches have narrowly escaped disas-
tiers after dark by sliding of to one
side when they hit the pile. This is
a menance to public safety, and it
may be the means of sinking launches
or steamers and causing loss of life
by drowning.

Assault case o. MAI.

The preliminary examination Of A.

time ago, ON the charge Of assault

plant Of Adolph Molstead, is being
heard today before Justice Chamber.
lin. The testimony of Molstead was
vrey interesting, in as much as he
did not fail to describe the coutro-
versy In full. He stated that he met
Miller at the place where the road
had been blockaded and they got into
q dispute as to whether they were
men or not, and to prove that they
were, they had to fight. They had q
tussle in which he, being the heavier
man Of the two, threw Miller down,
but that he had not wanted to fight,
and he only did so after he had been
forced into 1t. He said that after the
tussel he had tried to get away, but
Miller kept following him up and
forced him into another tussel, after
which Miller picked up two rocks
and advanced on him. Miller pick
ed up an iron bar which was exhibit
ed, struck him on the head and face
and about the body, breaking several
ribs, and cutting several gashes in his
head.
DR.. J. T. Wood was called to the
stand and testified that there were
several gashss in Molstead's head,
one being about three inches in
length, and that two ribs had been
broken and several others badly in
jured. Miller took the stand and
corroborated Molstead's testimony as
to the meeting, but stated that Mol
stead had made the first attack, and
he had received the worst Of the fight.
His testimony was not completed
at $3.50, and the trial will be contin-
ued tomorrow.

OF Darwin 1t Is affirmed that he
seemed unaware Of the difference in
the value Of books and would treat a
Zaehnsdorf binding with the same
scant courtesy that he exercised to-
ward a penny pamphlet. Covers ap-
peared to him a useless weight and de-
cidedly in the way, and he often got
rid Of them by ripping them on. Some
times the book was borrowed. 1t is
said that In the end his friends used
to give him aEE book which he wished
to borrow. for they knew that, II It
were ever returned, Its usefulness as a
book would be at an end.

a lock which is almost exactly like one

He adds that 1t was very crooked and
had an ivory handle. A Greek writer
who lived in the last half Of the twelfth
century explains that such keys were
undoubtedly very ancient, although
still to be seen in COnstantinopIe and

RAILROAD T
Railroads Fear No Strike,

The demands of the freight brake.
men and conductors on all lines west
of Chicago are along the same lines as
the demand recently made by the en-
gineers, says the Omaha Bee. The
conductors and brakemen have asked
the roads for a Is per cen increase
in wages and an %eight-hour day. Rail
road officials in Omaha see nothing to
warrant the conclusion that a strike is
inevitable. They say 1t is more than
likely matters will be settled in con-
ference.
A demand has been made on the
roads and they will be given a month
in which TO reply. After that a confer
ence will be held to try to adjust mat
tiers. Many of the roads have agree
ments with their men which run for
some time yet and the unions boast
that they stick by a contract. The I'm
ion Pacific has a schedule which was
adopted April 1, 1906, for two years, so
any action would o affect that road
for some time.
