FENToN's OPENING.
Big Crowd in the Big New Store Last
Friday Afternoon.

Ii is estimated that nearly 5000 peo
pie visited Fenton' s new store in tn,
American building during the opening
reception last Friday afternoon ant
evening, 1t was well worth the tim,
spent to view the attractive interior
and see how nearly Mr.. Fenton's Of
forts at cquipping Brattlcboro s big
gest and best store" have been crowned
with success. The highest praise was
heard of the store and its appoint
mcnts.
The windows, handsomely and taste
fully trimmed, are the largest in the
state both in width and depth. The in.
terror of the windows and the store is
finished in light colored wood oiled
| The fixtures are of oXidiZed iron, offer
ing excellent opportunities for the dis
play Of the smaller articles and no,
tiOns, Through the center Of the main
room there is set of shelves and cases.
Directly back of these is the business
office and cashier 5 elevated desk
connected by cash carriers with all
parts of the store.
Skylights and big window at the
rear furnish plenty of daylight, At
night large number of overhead cleo
tric lights and show ease lights give
brilliant illumination to all parts of
the store.
On the opening day, visitors were met
by obliging clerks, and were at once
made to feel at home. Along the south
side of the store are the men s furnish
ings from collar buttons to suits
clothes of endless variety and excellent
style. Everything that man wears >
can be found here, whether for day or
evening dress or even for night wear
At the back of the store are the shoes,
Elite for men and Herrick for women
being the leaders. The front of the
business office was decorated with
many floral contributions from whole,
sale houses in New York, Boston and
elsewhere. Every few minutes n mes
senger boy appeared with kilograms and
letters felicitating Mr.. Fenton on the
opening and wishing him success for
the future in his new place of business.
In the basement are trunks, bags,
suit cases and other travelling parapher-
MALTA in all styles and at all prices.
Coming back up stairs the visitors were
served with lemonade and light refresh
ments, Along the north side of the
store there is everything in women s
and children s wearing apparel. In all
there are II departments, making one
of the largest, most up-to.date and best
equipped stores in Vermont and ex
eeled by few in New England. During
the opening no goods were sold but the
store was opened for business Saturday
and Mr.. Fenton states that he did the
largest business of any day since he
has been in the clothing business.
Those who acted as guides were E.
J. Fenton, Edward Condor, Frank Wal |
len, Frank W. Colburn, Louis Bresna-
han, Charles Endlich, John Hennessy
of Bellows Falls, Dana Whitcomb of
Bellows Falls, Miss Mary Fitzgerald |

SEVEN WOULD-BE BAILIFFS.
But for All That the Coming Village
Meeting Will Be Quiet.

There is no likelihood of hot fight at
the coming village meeting, although
| there are seven candidates for the five po-
| sitions on the board OF bailiffs. A ticket
was filed with Village Clerk W. d. Perry
! Friday night nominating for bailitfs a.
F. Schwenk, H. X. Brown, G. L. Gilman,
W. S. Steans and w. d. Gibson; for
clerk and treasurer, w. D. Perry; for col
lector, W. A. Shumway; for chief en-
ginner, Harvey W. Sanders; for auditor,
Charles A. Harris. Late Monday night
| two additional tickets were filed which
nominated one candidate for bailitf. Den
mis- NJ. Duggan is nominated on the Peo-
| pies ticket which is signed by r. S.
Childs, A. p. Carpenter, G. A. Boyden,
j. W. Gregg, H. r. Randall, L. W.
Blodgett and H. c. Squiers. John j.
Eckels is nominated on the Municipal
ticket which is signed by j. L. Lawrence,
| G. H. Wilder, A. B. Stone, c. A. Smith,
G.. A. Metcalf, +. +. Coxson, +. j. Mains.
There has been some discussion this
week as to the validity of these two tick
cts. Section 81 of the Vermont statutes
provides that nominations for public of
| fee in a subdivision of the state shall
! be signed by voters of each subdivision
to the number of at least one per cent.
of the entire vote cast in the subdivision
at the last preceding election" The
last preceding election in Brattleboro was
general election at which about 1900
votes were cast and practically three
fourths of them were cast by village vot-
ers. If this election is used as a basis,
neither of the two nomination papers
have signers enough.
The warrant for the annual village
meeting has been posted this week. 1t is
unusually short, containing only seven
articles, five of which refer to matters of
routine out nature Inc other szo two pertain
the expenses of Is band concerts the COM
ing season and the question of continuing
the Australian ballot system in village
elections.

Independents Took First Game.

The Brattleboro Independents played
the Hinsdale team at that place yesterday
afternoon and won out by the score Of 5
to l. The contest was light hitting
game with Hinsdale unable to touch
Cmne's shoots for more than four safe
pokes. The Independents loosened up
Lawson's benders for seven safe drives
and walked away with the game. Both
teams showed the lack of practice and err

creditor himself. This argument na- turally appeals to the governments of South America, and they are anxious to have 1t adopted. by the peace con ference. thus enabling them to be freed from the only fear of war with foreign countries the Monroe doctrine has left to them"
 The author of tRis doctrine, pr. Luis Drago, is the chief delegate from the Argentine Republic to the Hague Conference. but 1t Is stated that he does not himself propose to bring his doctrine before the conference. though 1t Is very likely to come up In the dis cussions. If 1t does 1t is not at all probable that 1t will meet with much favor from European powers. They, or their wealthy citizens. lend large sums of money to the South and Gen. tral American governments and if the loan is not repaid the lenders expect their governments to collect the debt by the aid of big stick. consequently they are not likely to look with favor on the Drago doctrine.

The Alabama Primary.

CHdtIa1OOSa Times.
 illustrative of how prone our country editorial friends are to form hasty Judgment with reference to the views Of their city contemporaries, Is the fol- low extracts, the first from The Coosa That paper says:
 Our good old friend, The Montgom- cry Advertiser, has stalled on the sen- atorial muddle. It knows MT. Bank head not to be a man of sufficient cali bre to be Morgan's successor; while it has nothing in sympathy with Cover nor Conner. Hence, 'Grandma's' silence on an interesting theme"
 The Montgomery Advertiser, to which reference is made, in its issue of Fri day, contains the following very direct statement:
 The Legislature has thirteen days of It's regular session remaining and many important matters are to De disposed Of. It ought not to get up heated controversy over matter which was disposed of in the primary last year. The people then said plainly that they wished MT. Bankhead to fill the first senatorial vacancy and that wish ought to be carried into effect by the Legisla- ture."
 Clearly the editor of The Centre News very closely. That most excellent newspaper has way of generally get ting on the right side of every question because 1t is honest, fearless and in
 
 the primary election plan as against the discredited mass convention is in the balance in Alabama and naturally the modern politicians and those who usually win by manipulating small bosses and ward and district heelers, are seeking to discredit the primary, MT. Bankhead in a field of six candl- dates received over 48,000 votes, lead ing his highest opponent several thou sand. The issue was first alternate Senator to take the first vacancy tha. should occur in State delegation to thu United States Senate. If the. result or the primary did not mean what The Advertiser says it means, then the whole thing was a fraud on the people and a miserable sham. MT. Bankhead is not The Advertis- CTS choice, but he waso the choice of the people at regularly held election and that establishes his right. The in terest neighboring States have in this controversy, aside from a desire to see a great State honorably represented, Is the permanency of the primary plan of selecting candidates If the politicians can destroy 1t in Alabama they may be encouraged to try the same in Tennes- see. The fate of MT. Bankhead will | therefore in measure indicate the fate l of the primary

FOR PEOPLE
 WHO CARE,

Most everybody in these times does care. They want the quality and the up-to-date ap- pearance that goes with the ladies shoes we are now show ing. If your vacation calls you to the sea shore you will possi- ply want a white canvass Gib- son or a Russia calf pump. We have them. Perhaps you have run short of an evening shoe. An all patent Christy tie or may be a black suede Gibson or a tan suede Gibson, we have them also, or may be you have a blue or gray suit you want the shoes to match; we have them in- canvas Gibsons. No matter what your ideas of a shoe we think it will pay you to inspect our stock. Or perhaps you feel the need of an extra pair of low shoes, but do not know what kind. Our stock will make selection easier.

If we copied all that the Alabama ar

If we copied all that the Alabama and outside papers had to say about the Senatorial succession, and the binding force of the primary, we would have little room for anything else. We have published many extracts from every quarter of the State and they are near ly all of one view. viz: that the Leg isIature must obey the voice of the people as expressed. at the primary. It is unnecessary to copy more Of these articles, and we content ourselves by saying that If the expressions of citizens and newspapers count for anything, the Legislature will waste no time over the election of a successor to Senator Morgan. They will recognize the fact that the people did this last year. when they selected state officers and mem bers of the Legislature.

UNEXPECTED IGNORANCE.

AS an evidence of how a learned and scholarly Englishman may misunder- stand or misapprehend our American system of government Ambassador Bryce is quoted as saying: You can't put too much in a state Constitution" He had been shown the instrument formulated 6y the oklahomans, and listening to criticisms on the great length and unnecessary detail of that constitution, and made the remark above ouoted as the authoritative dic- tum of one who knows.
 His assertion is evidence of his lack of understanding, for his opinion is just the opposite of correct, to put 1t mildly. for it is very easy to put too much in a State Constitution" Even a Legislature often puts too much in the volume of laws they enact, but as Legislatures meet periodically the errors made by one can be corrected by the next without much expense With an organic law it is quite different for the mistakes and faults of that can only be corrected by calling new con- stitutional convention which is an ex- pensive and slow remedy, or by pro- posing amendments to be voted on by the people and that is often failure. 'Instead," as The Hartford Courant ex- presses it, Of being loaded up with de- tail from the Ten Commandments to the hours for closing saloons, consti- tuition should in fact be the merest out line on which to stretch the fabric of statutes that successive legislatures may adopt. The more thinPs you get into a constitution the more you will have to get out of it as conditions all ter. The best constitution Is that which will wear the lonsest

The Anniston Hot Blast says:

The Hot Blast has often heard it asserted that it was the wish of Sena- tor Morgan that John B. Knox be his successor.
 A member of Congress from a part of the State higher up than Anniston, is said to have the notion that he was the favorite of Senator Morgan, Un- der ordinary conditions The Advertiser would be well pleased to see Mir. Knox in the United States Senate. but we do not credit any report about Senator Morgan's expressed preference for any person as his successor.
