THE WAR sCARE's PURPOSE.

Congressman Kittredge Haskins was
one of the speakers at the annual ban
quet of the Vermont Veterans associa-
tion of Boston and vicinity last Fri
day evening. In the course of his re-
marks he is quoted as saying:
We are not going to have any war
with the great empire of Japan;
neither are we going to have any com
mercial war with Germany. The news
paper war with Japan has accomplished
its purpose. 1t aroused the sentiment
necessary to insure the construction of
one or two great battleships and to i'm
prove the coast Notifications not only
in this country but in Hawaii.
Assuming that this is in substance
what the representative from Vermont
stated, he shows considerable knowl-
edge as to the source and object of the
recent japanese war agitation. He ad-
mits practically that the talk was
started for the purpose of giving a
tinge of reason to the naval program

The contest to settle the New York
mayoralty contest of 1905 will go on
despite the efforts of George b, Me

preme Court Justice Fits has given
a decision sustaining the position of
Acknowledgement William S, Jackson
in the proceedings inspired by Viii
liam Randolph Hearst to GUST Mr. Nc
Clellan from the office Of mayor.
Justice Fits holds that the attorney
general had authority to rehear the
application of Mr.. Hearst for leave to
begin quo warranto proceedings
against Mcclellan, which was denied
by the former attorne" General JUS
tice Fits also denies the petition of
Mr.. Mcclellan s attorneys to have the
attorney general adjudged in contempt
of court on the ground that he had
violated temporary injunction in re.
gard to the quo warranto application.
Thus far Mr. Hearst seems to have
the better of the fight, which for the
sake of honest government should be
continued until the ballot boxes used
in the 1905 election have divulged
their contents.

HOW 1T SPREADS.
A Report from Brattleboro Confirmed
in Brattleboro.


The testimony of friends and neigh
bors in every city and town OF any
Importance in the United States had
made Doan IS Kidney Pills famous. The
people of Brattleboro will not find it
necessary to go out of the city for
proof. Plenty of evidence here at
home.
E. H. Bingham, engineer, of II
Washington street, Brattleboro, w.t.,
saws: "About eight months ago my
kidneys commenced to bother me and
I had pains in my back and sore
ness across the loins. The worst symp-
tom, was disorder of the kidney Sc
cretions that compelled me to rise ten
or twelve times during the night. This
was very annoying as well as disturb
ing my sleep, and in the mornings l
awoke feeling tired and sore all over.
Reading about Doan IS Kidney Pills, l
sent to F. H. Holden S drug store for a
box. / derived so much benefit from
the use of this box that / continued
to take the remedy, getting better all
the time. OF course, am getting
along in years and do not expect to be
cured, but 1 am very glad to know of
a medicine that produces such bene-
fetal results as Doan s Kidney Pills
do.'

by the dcfalcation, but the moral les
son Is none the less depressing, Clerk
Of one of the largest churches in the
city and prominently connected with
many other religious organizations,
Treasurer Walker held the absolute
confidence of the community In which
he WIS an important figure. Now the
mention of his name causes mingled
feelings of contempt for such criminal
hypocrisy aud wonder as to where con
fdcncc can be safely placed, The ef'
feet OF such u crime is particularly re-
grcttablc in that il casts a shadow
of suspicion, for the time being at
least, ON every porson who holds n
position of public trust. Yet when we
stop TO think of how few Walkers
there are among the vast number of
public servants our doubts vanish and
we are able to view life with an OPP
timism without which there is little
pleasure in existence.

Another striking example of the
frailty of human nature is found in
the melancholy story of the New
Britain, Conn, Savings bank treasurer
who has absconded with several hun
bred thousand dollars in securities rep
resenting the hard-earned savings of
many people. Fortunately the stabil-
ity of the institution which has suf
fered this loss is in no way affected

A former vice-president of the Ar
mour Grain company has retired at
the age of AZ with modest fortune of
between $1,OOOOOO and 100000, and
will devote the remainder of his life
to enjoyment, much of which comes to
him, he says, through charity to chill
dren. His abandonment of active bust
ness life is in pursuance to the fol
lowing rules: Enough is enough. More
than enough is too much. Too much
is useless. This is an astounding at
titude for fnancier to take, but most
of MS feel that we would be willing to
assume it if we could reckon our for
tunes in seven figures.

Some of the state papers see in the
decision of the Central Vermont to
reissue passes to the Brattleboro u
Whitehall officials decision on the
part of the former corporation to test
the anti-pass law. This is not at all
probable, since the encouragement has
already opined that the passes in this
case are not free, but partial payment
of a legal settlement between the two
companies.

Turrible Thought!
[Montnelier .Journal.)

The Brattleboro lawyer, defending a
man charged with throwing lysol into
an enemy's eyes, who placed his hands
into some of the liquid to refute the
prosecution IS claim of its blistering eff
fects, must have thought he had a
gang of Missourians in the jury box.
And to think that the testimony was
excluded after all.

A bill which possesses interest for
every state in the union is now be
fore the New York legislature. 1t
proposes conference of authorized
representatives of all the states TO con
slider uniform laws for insurance, di-
vorce, public utilities, interstate com
merce, corporate organizations and
such other subjects as may develop in
tcrest and Importance. If such con
ference should ever come abOut-a re-
suit which appears remote to say the
least-one of its most interesting re-
suits would be to emphasize the vast
diversity of opinion on these subjects.
If conference Of this kind could
agree on uniform laws and secure their
passage in all states the need of fed
eral supervision of many things would
be obviated, but as long as one state
refused to join there would still be
work for the federal government to
do along these lines. State sovereignty
is all right in theory but there are
many problems with which only pow
err "highcr up" can cope successfully.

WEEK IN THE WORLD.
Great Events and Movements Which
Are Making History.

The senate late Saturday afternoon
adopted the conference report Of the
immigration bill, which contains the
vital amendment comforting power on
the president to exclude undesirable
classes of alien laborers from this
country. The conference report will
now go 10 the house, whore the
chances for its adoption are regarded
as excellent. When the immigration
bin has been approved by the presi'
dent, the San Francisco school board
will remove the restrictions upon Jap.
anese pupils and the state department
will agree with the japanese govern
ment on the form of treaty permit
ting both Japan and the United States
to exclude undesirable classes of In.
borcrs from either country. The Japa
nese amendment which aroused so
much discussion, and which was pro
posed by the administration as solu'
ton of the San Francisco school ques-
ton, is as follows;
Provided further, That whenever the
president shall be satisfied that pass
ports issued by any foreign govern.
ment TO its citizens to 90 to any in
sular possession of the United States,
or TO the Canal zone, are being used
for the purpose of enabling the hold
crs to come to the continental terri
tory of the United States to the detri-
ment of labor conditions therein, the
president may refuse TO permit such
citizens Of the country issuing such
passports to enter the continental ter
ritory of the United States from such
other country or from such insular
possessions or from the Canal zone.
Another addition to the already ap.
paling list of railroad disasters of 1907
was made Saturday when an electric
express train on the New York Cen
trail railroad, bound for White Plains
from New York city, left the rails near
225th street, causing death to % pas
sengcrs, many of them women, and
more or less serious injury to l45 9th.
ers. The accident took place on a
sharp curve and the train was r.
ming at an excessively high speed es.,
timated at from IS to 40 miles an
hour. Both electric motors and the
smoking ear rounded the curve in
safety but the FIVE ears following were
derailed. turning over on their sides,
tearing up the tracks for several hun.
bred yards and finally collapsing in
one mass. Many of the passengers were
instantly killed and mangled beyond
recognition. Ambulances and surgeons
from every hospital in the city were
instantly summoned and the work of
rescue prosecuted with all possible
speed. Fire started in the overturned
ears but it was quickly extinguished.
The cause of the wreck has not been
determined officially but it is thought
to have been due to a tire which fell
from one of the wheels of the for
ward motor and landed on one of the
rails.
