The Rutland Herald is OF the opinion
that the Moran bolt bids far to split
the republican party OF the town into two
distinct factions, unless someone raps
he heads of the principal newspaper
writers III that city together and reminds
them that election is over This sounds
as ii the Herald editor had been reading
some of the warm and rarifed air which
has appeared of late in BIattleboro de.
spatches to outside papers. 1t is fact
acknowledged we believe by all concerned,
that our recent representative fight lett
very few contllslons considering its siren
uousness, and in this fact--as well as in
some of the lessons which the campaign
taught-lie our hope for future accom-
plishment. In the past Brattleboro has
seen many of its fondest hopes dashed
against the rocks OF resentment, formed
by campaigns similar to that just closed
and solidihed by just such articles as the
Herald editor has apparently been read
ing. None of us can afford to allow such
obstacles to form again in our path Of
progress. We must all put our shoulders
to the wheel and work together with one
common end in view, namely, bigger,
buster, better Brattleboro. Brattleboro
Reformer.
Yes, the Herald has read the super.
heated atmospheric vapor of the Brat
tleboro correspondent of the Springfield
Repubican--and he's the Herald's CORE
spondent as well--it has read what the
Phoenix has said, what Mr. Moran has
said, what Mr.. Barber has said, and,
said. And what everybody has said sim
ply confirms what the Herald has said;
elections over, forget it.
When pprsonal recrimination is kent
up after an election, there can be but one
result-deep and lasting resentment and
suspicion of every person and agency in
volved.
In the heat of strenuous campaign
many things are said that would not be
tolerated for moment in the sober light
of everyday existence. The Moran bolt
was made, ostensbly. because the meth
DDS used by Mr.. Barber to carry party
caucus We're improper. Mr.. BARRIERS
friends declare that they were an exact
of methods that 'the ring"
has used there for years.
lines, matters of public service or political
fitness being almost entirely lost sight of.
Despite the assurances of the Reformer,
it is certain that the fight has left wounds
and that the post-election arguments" of
the various newspaper writers have done
their part in keeping those wounds open
Chief in this lamentable work has been
kittredge Haskins, present congressman
from the second district, whose officious
and utterly unwarranted brief against Mr..
Morans citizenship is the most shocking
example of pompous untimeliness it has
been this papers lot to witness in many
years.
To him and the various deplorable
'ranklers" the Herald merely reiterates-
forget it. And this applies to every town
where these bitter contests have taken
place.
Meanwhile. let us set ourselves soberly
in the direction of primary election law |

WHY 1T SUCCEEDS.
Because It's for One Thing Only, and
Brattleboro People Appreciate This.

Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only.
They cure sick kidneys.
They cure backache. every kidney i'll.
Here is Brattleboro evidence to prove it.
George II. Newton, of 90 Frost St,
says: Il have just as much faith in
Doan's Kidney Pills today as l had seven
years ago when l gave my recommenda-
ton of this remedy. l suffered for some
time with a disordered condition of the
kidneys and when l learned about Doan's
Kidney Pills l procured box at Geo. L.
Greene's drug store and began using
them. | am glad to say they acted up to
the representations made for them Dur
ing the years which have passed | have
used them on several occasions when a
cold or overwork has brought on slight
occurrences of the trouble and they have
never failed to bring prompt and effective
relief"

The National Child Labor Committee is
making what we consider a commendable
effort to secure the establishment of a
children's bureau at Washington for the
purpose of making a careful and exhaus
tive study of the problems of child life
not only with relation to child labor but
on questions pertaining to infant mortal
ity, physical degeneracy, orphanage, juve
nile delinquency and juvenile courts, de-
sertion and illegitimacy, employment, dis
eases of children of the industrial classes,
legislation affecting children in the vari-
Gus states and such other facts as have
bearing on the health, character and
training of the young. Such a bill was
introduced in the United States senate
two years ago but never came to vote al
though it had the hearty endorsement of
President Roosevelt and Secretary Hitch
cock of the department of the interior
When it is considered that there are fed
eral bureaus devoted to the study of prob
lens connected with the raising of cattle
it certainly Is not unreasonable to ask
the government to undertake the study of
problems relating to child life.

0. L. French, publisher of The Yer.
mont Phoenix, will make personal
statement in his paper today in regard
to the libel suits which were brought
against him three weeks ago by officers
from Wallingford and Pawlet who came
to this county early in August in search
of Elroy Kent. These officers claimed
that they had been libeled and injured
by statements made in a news article in
The Phoenix about their visit to Lon
donderry Mr. French will say that he
is satisfied after careful investigation
that certain stories which gained cur
rency at the time grew out of an alter
cation or disagreement between the Of
fcers and Stephen Houghton and his son,
Devere Houghton, about the passage of
the officers automobile by the Hough-
tons's team which was heavily loaded
with lumber. He does not attempt to
decide who was right or wrong in this
controversy, but says that all the infor-
nation gathered tends to show that both
before and after this occurrence the of
ficers conducted themselves properly and
that they did not appear to be under the
influence of liquor Mr. French accepts
without question the assurance that in
their home communities the men bear
good repute both as officers and as citi-
zens, and expresses his regret that any
injurious statement about them should
have gained currency in his paper.

Independent Voting.
bennington Banner

The analysis of the state vote of Tues
day as printed in another column shows
that the republican vote fell off in the
counties where there was no contest
worth mentioning and nothing to draw
the voters out, notably in Windsor and
Caledonia, which ere two of the strong
est republican counties in the state. The
largest net gain in republican strength
was in Bennington and Windham coun-
ties, where the voters are freer from
party ties than in the other counties and
vote for the man, regardless of the party
whip. The democrats gained in Orange
and Grand Isle counties, where unfit can
didates on the republican side dscredited
the whole ticket.

the republican caucus, winning on the
