FOR DELEGATE.
Addison County Man dominates
Clerk Hamilton of the House AS
Deleqste from First District.

The Free Press has received letter
from a prominent resident of Addison
county of which the following is an ex-
tract:
"a good many of the friends of Fred
L. Hamilton in this county and other
parts of the State, think that he would
make a very acceptable candidate for
delegate from this congressional dis
trict to the next national republican con-
vention. II the young republicans of
Vermont are to be represented on the DEL
egation / know of no one who would fill
the position more ably. l believe that if
he is a candidate that his election will be
foregone conclusion"
Fred l.. Hamilton was first assistant
clerk of the House at Montpelier. and
upon the election of Thomas c. Cheney
as speaker, he was elected to the position
of clerk of that body, in which positions
he has proved himself to be a popular as
well as efficient public servant.

In certain quarters the financial NOR
ais have been revealed in a fostering
condition. But that is trifle, after all.
At bottom the institutions of the United
States are honest, sound and full of COM
mon sense. Its people have the courage
and nerve to do things. and, above all,
they have the things to do with.
Unpleasant as was the effect of turn.
ing on of the light, still it was tempo
rary. The spirit of the American people
is too high and their recuperative powers
too great to permit them to sit in gloom
very long. They have not lost faith in
yet in their rulers.
This nations welfare cannot be meas
ured entirely by dollars, bushels and
tons. Being practical people, however,
thesei are popular yardsticks, but they
cannot index the real situation any more
than they could measure the density of
the atmosphere.
In 1907 the light was turned upon a
few dark places and the revelations were
not pleasant. The child may vince
when splinter is drawn from its finger
but after all it is only mild surgery. The
hurt is temporary and the wouno soon
healed.
In every land and at all times it has
been the fashion of the hour to think
that things were generally in a worse
state than was really the case. Each
generation imagines its predecessor had
more virtue than possessed by itself. We
look now upon the builders of this re.
public with deepest veneration and awe
But Washington and jefferson and Henry
were constantly lamenting the lack Of
honesty and virtue in the people of theil
day.
The ills of 1907 were not the worst, by
any means, which the United States has
passed through successfully. and so il
starts the new year healthy, sane and
quite well satisfied with itself.-Phila.

said Mrs. Drayton one night. I've
told him to take his medicine and then
jump into bed, and he won't do it. He
just hops around and says he doesn't
want to take the medicine and he
doesn't want to go to bed"
Mr.. Drayton stepped to the door Of

grave and impressive.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1908.

An item lately printed in the press,
states that Prussia will supersede the
ordinary railroad passenger car with au-
tomobiles fitted for similar use, because,
as we suppose, of largely decreased ex-
pense in running the latter.
We suppose from this that the Prussian
government either owns or operates the
railroads of that kingdom.
Very possibly this scheme will work
well. 1t may suggest the final outcome of
the automobile question in pointing out
the method by which such vehicles may
become useful, and at the same time by
combining them to their own roads, remove
the great element of danger and discom-
fort which now connects with their use.

A Story of 5unsen, the Great German
Scientist.


Scientist.
In the autobiography of Sir Henry
Roscoe there is capital example OF
the observation-disclosures of Bunsen, the
great German scientist.
He had had his evening clothes put
out that he might attend a card party
to which he had been invited, but for
got all about it until the next morning,
when his man pointed out that the
evening clothes had not been worn.
And then he remarked to himself, II
know what I'll do" That evening he
put on his dress clothes, went to the
lady's house at the appointed time and
walked in as If it were the day upon
which he had been invited The host
ess, much too polite to tell him that he
had mistaken the evening and that the
party had taken place on the previous
night, sent to her friends asking them
to come In to play a rubber again.
They did so. In the course of the even
ing the conversation turned on absent
mindedness. and Bunsen began to tell
them what had happened to him a
long time ago-how that he had for
gotten an invitation and how he had
made up his mind to go the next night
and thus he told the party the whole
story, forgetting altogether that he was
giving them an account of what was
happening at the very moment.

The failure of the Washburn ends
to break up the delayed pass forma-
tions of the Fairmount team; the
poor judgment of the Washburn
players at critical times; the failure
to make clean tackles; and the lack
of spirit when the team was in the
lead; all these causes contributed to
the downfall of the Washburn foot
ball team at the hands of the Fair
mount aggregation at the Wichita fair
grounds Friday afternoon. The final
score was 25 to 16 in favor of the
orange and black.
Each team made three touchdowns,
but the conegfans of the peerless prin-
cess went the Topeka lads one bet
ter by adding two field goals to their
grand total. Two of Washburn's
touchdowns were due indirectly to the
use of the forward pass. The other
was a result of a blocked kick by
Munford, McVey carrying the ball
across. Paramount made two touch
downs by using the delayed pass, and
one as a result of blocking one of
Hopes forward passes in the shad-
ow of the WashRurn goal line. The
Fairmount players had one decided
advantage, in playing on the Wichita
grounds. The grounds with all due
respect to the Paramount authorities
and the management of the Wichita
fair grounds are the toughest foot
ball grounds in Kansas. and no team
unaccustomed to them has an even
break The grounds are laid out in
the quarter stretch of the race track.
In summer time this place is a field
of alfalfa where domestic animals
hang out. There are large holes left
by horses hoofs, footpaths worn by
bovine and her offspring and the
natural topography of the field re-
sembles the Missouri Pacific road
bed. This is the kind. of field on
which the Washburn team met it's de-
feat.
1t looked for a time as though the
Washburn team had the game
slowed away. At the end of the first
half the score was IL to 10 in favor
of the local collegians, and with the
start of the second half the wind
was in her favor. But the blue lost
its "pepp' and when the Washburn
team failed to block Bates field goal
after Ems had made a poor pass on
the ground, the tide of the battle
changed, and Washburn had to play
against the wind.
In the second half the Washburn
team lost its spirit. A defensive
style of play was -resorted to. but the
dope failed to work according to
specifications. 1t was planned to play
