MiScOnceptiOn.

The analysis by Neighbor Stone of The
CALIFORNIAN last week of The Clippers
glittering generalties in apotheosis Of
Candidate ~ Fletcher was about as
deft an exhibition of surgical ante NOR
has witnessed in long day. Not only
was Mr.. Fletcher reduced to the ranks
so softly as to seem as being waited on
aureole tinted pillows of light without a
jolt or jar, but even his birthright was
taken from him and the operation made
\ to feel to him like the presentation of a
gold headed cane by a group of admir-
ing friends. The Gazette removes its
hat to The CALIFORNIAN in respect and
awe at its marvellous dexterity. I'm
doubtedly, too, Mr.. Fletcher feels like a
new man. Hardwick Gazette.
Ofcourse the CALIFORNIAN is grateful
for boquets ofpoppies, etc, and bows in
acknowledgement. But our brother of
the Gazette misconceives and confounds
the CALEDoNIAN's honest purpose in try
ing to find out why Allen NJ Fletcher OF
Cavendish is more like Gov. Hughes
than any Vermonter in public
life today, The Clipper thus believed,
the CALIFORNIAN asked why. This is not
mild sarcasm, this is not discussing the
value of men as candidates for public
Office. Mr.. Fletcher is not in fault be-
cause the Clipper thought he was the
biggest man in our state, the supremest
Vermonter of them all, land the best man
for Governor. The CALIFORNIAN asked
why-and the CALIFORNIAN has Just as
much light on the subject as it had in
the first instance and no more. By no
word or hint, spoken or implied, has this
paper ever discussed directly or indirect
ly, Mr.. Fletcher as a candidate-our dis
cussion is with the Clipper on parallels
between Gov. Hughes and Allen Fletcher.
Keep to the question brethren.

A Successful Savings Bank.

The Brattleboro Phoenix thinks the
management OF the Hyde Park Savings
Bank have just reasons for being proud
OF the success attained by the bank. 1t
says in recent issue:
Ex-Governor Carroll S. Page feels a
very proper and commendable pride in
the success of the Lamoille County
Savings bank at Hyde Park, of which he
is president, and in the starting and
management of which he has been the
Leading factor. The cardinal principle of
this bank is that all of it's resources must
be invested in Vermont ITO foster Yer
mont industries and to develop Vermont
enterprises" The bank passed the
million dollar mark of assets on Thurs
day, the 18th instant, and we are sure
that there isn't single cent of it in
vested out of Vermont. Governor
Page is entitled to the congratulations
which he receives.
lhis bank pays per cent. compound
cd seml-annually on deposits of $1OO or
more.

How the Other Half Gives.

= That sentiments of tender charity are
innate among the poor can be seen from
case which presented itself among a
group OF little children at school where
we visited" writes Mrs. John Van Worst
in her Christmas article in Woman's
Home Companion. They were of the most
destitute, this little class, but as regular
as soldiers in attendance. After an un-
usual absence of two days, one Of the
small pupils, Mary by name, was closely
questioned by the teacher on her return.
Very reluctantly she responded that they
had been without food at home and that
she was ashamed to come hungry to
school.
mo comment was made before the
other children. Nothing further was
said
1.-The following morning small pro-
cession filed before the teachers desk-a
procession of little people, tiny, poor,
ignorant Yet not one of them came
empty handed. One brought an apple,
one piece of cheese, one a roll, one a
slice of meat. And each, as she put her
meager offering down, whispered to the
teacher: It's tor Mary"

The Cars jump Track at Dreamland
and Seven are Hurt.

New York, July ia train of
two cars on the scenic railway at
Dreamland, Coney Island, jumped
the track In a darkened tunnel about

The scenic railway is known as the
Great Divide. The cars, both of which
were crowded, left the starting point
In Dreamland a few minutes before
9 o'clock. All went we'll until one
of the dark tunnels, through which
the railway runs, was reached.
While going at high speed both of
the cars suddenly left the track. The

They Were Overlooked.
(From the Barnwell People, )

The newspapers of the up-countk3
published with pride last week state
ments of the large dividends paid out
on the first day OF July by the cotton Z
mills to their stockholders. But no
mention was made that men, women,
children and mules that prepared the
land and planted sld cultivated and
gathered the croI,, and the people
who ginned it, and the fathers and
mother and sons and sisters and the
daughters who spun and wove the
staple into cloths for the use OF far
of strangers, received no share in the
dividends paid out. And we presume
that the lions share of those divi-
dends went across the Mason and
Dixon line, and that the fraction re-
naming in the South went to in--
crease the bank deposits of the for
tunate few who live on Easy Street

Why War that WonId lie Murder?

Manufacturers Record, July 1lth.
| Why should the United States even

about time for the substantial inter

plate with aught but horror the nos
sibflity of hostiiities between the TWO
countries whose natural instincts and

or the hypocritical preliminaries, the
sahctlmonlous conduct and the dis
graceful though Illuminating sequelae
or the latest war of the United States
against weakerpeople-th against
Spain-can fail to recognize in the
| fiimsy pretense of bellicose stuff that
is dlshed up as news in a certain por-
lion of the daily press the unmistak-
able intent to use the American peo-
pie again as innocent agents in the
COMMISSION OF crime against hu-
manlty, to the profit Of some long
headed, constituencies clique of con-
spirators we'll concealed even from
the politics, journalism, finance or in
dustry that would willingly take its
little toll Of blood-gold from the suf-
ferings of two peoples embroiled in
war unsought by either.
Who arc the criminal conspirators?
The search for them might take in
London, Berlin, New York or Wash
ington. and yet be unsuccessful. In
nuential newspapers might seek in
vain for the actual place of origin and
real inspiration of the war-promotive
matter supplied them under the vari-
Gus date lines. But such failure need
not make 1t impossible for the Amerl-
can people to block the game effectu-
ally. They can let it be known that
the tools of the conspirators, the men
who preach or prophesy war with
Japan, the papers that publish infiam-
matory appeals under the thin guise
OF news, the individuals who may Sc
cure temporary advantage in place or
IN pelf as the result of the war, will
be held strictly responsible for the
crime of the war, and that that war
Will be plain murder. 1t should be
made known that for these criminal
tools there will be no refuge in brain
storms, psychic epilepsy or sanctimo-
NOUS cant. This should be made
known at once. After the unjustifia-
bic war has once begun it will be too
late. The criminal instigators of the
modern wars know that in the midst
of war their accusers can be easily
discountenanced by being charged
with treason.

LOVERS STILL

He wooed her when her hair was
brown,
And when her waist was slim,
When every other boy in town
Was envious of him.
He walked with her in country lanes
When she was young and glad,
And youth and strength and hope and
health
Composed the sum of all the wealth
That he had ever had
He won her when her heart was light
And when her laugh was gay,
When every day was fair and bright
And care vas far away.
He claimed her as his own when she
Regarded him as one
For whom the fates had much IL
store,
Whom men would honor more and
more
For great things nobly done.
He has not o the worlds applause,
She knows he never can;
His step is slower than it was,
But he's an honest man.
She wears the bloom of youth no
more,
Yet side by side they fare,
Poor, bent old husband, and gray
wife,
Along the humble walks of life.
And still are lovers there.
