Here comes sturdy old Gen.
Stewart L. Woodruff, president
manager of the Hughes league, and
says, ~ do not believe that we can
elect a Republican president with
out the vote of New York. That's
the same old cry the country has
heard for years, cry tantamount
to a demand that New York shall
nominate the party candidate every
year. If it has actually reached
stage in American politics that this
is true, then it is, indeed, time to
call for a new alignment and this
is as good a year as any in which

The result of the Republican
primaries in Massachusetts, Tues
day shows that the Taft men have
elected some 900 delegates to the
state convention, while the oppo-
sition have elected about 600. This
means that the state convention will
be controlled by the Taft support
ers and that if they desired to press
their advantage they could nu-
doubtedly prevent the sending to
the national convention of Senator
Crane, who has been at the head of
the anti-Taft forces. 1t is not be-
lieved however that this will be
done, and Senator Crane will go to
Chicago, but with a full under
standing of the wishes of the Mass
achusetts republicans.
This result in Massachusetts, shows
that the first attempt of the sena-
torial cabal at Washington to send
delegations to Chicago
who could be swung into line against
the administration, has met with |
a decisive defeat, and this after
discussion and publicity !

where the extra work of summer
boarders is considered to be worth
while for the revenue it brings.
Too, we have active hotel men who
will one day wake to the possibili-
ties of the summer business, as we'll
as the all-the-year schedule. 1t is
also we'll to remember that there
are many degrees of wealth repre-
sented in the summer tourists bust
ness from the clerk with his week
or two off in the country every
year, to the millionaire, who spends
all the summer months as we'll as
most of the winter ones fitting
from one resort to another. For
the average summer vacationist,
the demands are not so excessive
to scare the thrifty farmers wife
from starting a profitable summer
business with nothing for capital
but her farm home, a good garden
and her own excellent New England
cooking.

auctions in wages which come to
us, it is worth while, in the estima-
ton of "Fiber and Fabric" not to
lose sight of the fact that there are
many developments of favorable
character in progress. 1t published
an editorial recently showing that
there were some "rifts in the
clouds" of business depression and
this week it has grouped in one ar
ticle reports relating to various
mills, which certainly show a salts
factory and encouraging condition
as far as these plants are concerned,
and which will, to some extent at
any rate, offset the gloomy views
and doleful predictions of those
who can see nothing hopeful in the
situation. AS a matter of fact,
there is much which is calculated
to give encouragement. The Bur-
lington mills of the American Wooden
company are shown to be running
an increased force of help. No
wage reduction has as yet been
announced by the resident agent.
The reports in question show that
at North Adams, Mass, the North
Adams Manufacturing company re-
sumed full time at the wooden mill
Monday morning. The Blackinton
Manufacturing company is booked
solid with orders to August at least
and Waterhouse & Howard have
more orders than they can fill ON
schedule time just at present, in
dicating that so far as that point
is concerned the wooden business
is Cooking up"
At Augusta, Ga, all fourteen
cotton nails in the district, except
two, continue to operate on full
time, in accordance with their recent
refusal to join the Southern Cotton
Manufacturers association in its
movement to curtail production.
At Meriden, Conn, the plant of
the Silver City Braid company began
March % to run a daily schedule of
thirteen hours. A full force of
operatives is employed. The orders
on hand have made overtime work
necessary.
At West Millbury, Mass, the
plant of the Millbury Worsted COM
pany, which usually closes down
Saturdays, did not stop operation
last Saturday on account of rush
of business. This condition, it is
said, will continue for some time.
These are only a few of the
sent from different points
in the manufacturing field tending
to denote a visible as well as graf
flying improvement in conditions,
and the indications point to con-
tinued improvement. 4

the senatorship this year and his
action will serve to silence the criti-
cism in which some have INDUCED,
believing that in his appointment
of Gov. Stewart he did not act in
wholly disinterested manner. Some
of the papers of the State have gone
so far as to allege that his making
of the appointment plainly indicated
that he intended to enter the fight
this fall for the position which was
filled so ably by his late father.
Gov Proctor has again demonstrat-
ed that the confidence which has
been reposed in him by his friends
and the voters of the State at large
has not been misplaced. 1t is
stated that he is very favorable
to the candidacy of Ex.-Gov. Page
and the situation has cleared to a
considerable extent. 1t looks at
present as if there is but little doubt
about the final outcome of the
senatorial struggle, for Gov. Page
is far stronger candidate than any
other who has been spoken of and
it is almost safe prediction that
he will be elected to the position this
fall.

The first year under the license
law, one town in Orange county,
Bradford, went yes; since then the
entire county has been dry until
this year, when two towns, Brain
tree and Corinth, vtoed license.
Both towns have been rather close
in their vote for several years, and
this time, through the operation of
local conditions, the scale has turned,
and Orange county furnishes its
full quota of the license towns in
the state. 1t is probably but a
temporary alignment. Unless Ii
cense in these towns works better
than in most small places, one year
of it will be sufficient. If the selling
could be limited to the wet towns,
and not be so harmful to the dry |
towns about, the latter would not |
have so keen an interest beyond |
their borders. One license town |
means virtual license to all towns
within a dozen miles, and its in
auence is felt far beyond that radius.

tree and Corinth owe a duty to
his entire section. The business
must be ran so as to produce the

The death of Durham White
Stevens, the American Advisor tC
the Korean council, March 10Th
brings sharply before us the Korean
situation. He was shot by Ko-
reans, in San Francisco, who were
inspired by the manifesto of the
Korean Righteous army" which
had just been received from the
hermit kingdom. 1t advises the
death Of all who have had anything
to do with the inauguration of the
Japanese control. Perhaps, at this
distance we do not realize how
deeply the Koreans feel the pro-
tectorate which the Japanese have
firmly established. However, the
death of Mr.. Stevens will not help
the Koreans since assassination
is not weapon of value in the de-
fence of a country. A part of the
manifesto, which melted the crimes,
is as follows: Allowing for the
fowery language of the oriental,
it shows a determination on the
part of Korea to throw off the yoke.
Poland, too, fought bravely, if un-
successfully, for name and Preside.
Manifesto
"To all Koreans in all parts of the
world
Loyalty to his nation and fealty
to his parents is the primal law of
mans nature. The right to live
and the right to die for duty is also
the rule of nature.
"But alas, grievous times have
come upon Korea, our compatriots.
We who have been educated by our
dynasty and raised
up by 4,000-year-old ancestry have
come under the domination of the
barbarous savage islanders, the
Japanese.
"They have abdicated our EN-
peror, destroyed our villages, killed |
our brethren, robbed our land,
seized our benefits and are the enemy
not only of Korea, but of all the
world.
~ SemPatrlots we must unite |
and consecrate ourselves to our lana
and restore our independence. We
are sure God will help us. We must |
all do our best to kill all japanese,
their spies, allies and barbarous
soldiers.

The advertising methods of the'
Hyde Park Bank have been the
subject of some criticism in the state

evidently after business and went
after it in the same way he has
built up the largest hide business in

Of course advertising has not
done it all, for the people generally

with the banks policy of keeping
its loans all in Vermont to foster
Vermont enterprises and business.
The record of the bank in not

There have been rumors, there
have been predictions, there have
been surmises regarding what Gov.
Proctor's action would be in the
coming Senatorial race The Gov
ernor has cleared the situation by
his statement that he will not be a
candidate at this time. He has
shown clear judgment in refusing to
mix with politics while governor
either directly or by proxy, and
this rectitude, with his admins
trative ability in office, will react
in his favor when the time comes
that he feels a call to further duty.
Over his name, he states his position
in the following words:

of some that l should represent the
state in the United States Senate.
Many whose advice and wishes
vlike deserve great weight urge me
to be a candidate now. | have,
however, been reluctant to leave

so long and happily associated.

any political contest while governor

friends to do so for me. 1t is my
highest ambition to complete my
term of office as governor untram-
meled by any other consideration
than those of the public good. The
weight of these. reasons has not
lessened during the past few weeks
but rather strengthened in my
