concluded:
TAFT WILL BE FAIR
..,rhe charge that ] ever sentenced
man within a full hearing or made an
order affecting his wages without q lui,

false.
i..I wish here to say that, no matter
what labor may do under the perniciousl
influence of Samuel Gompers and those
associated with him in this campaign,
il / am successful, the political position
or labor organizations Will not deter
me in the slightest from doing what
can to aid proper labor legislation IN
the future, and will not in any way di-5
rniihish my constant interest IN the Sc.
curing to those who earn their liVen-
hood by the sweat of their brow as
near an equal opportunity for progress
toward better things us human society
can. afford them. i am confident that
many of the wage earning class VIII
support the Republican ticket, because
/ know their intelligence and | am sure
that they are able to determine their
read interests and will not be led astray
by the fustian and bnucombe Of such
appeals as those which Mr.. Gomper5
is now making to his supposed tol-
lowers.
The meeting at Utica today between
Taft and james S. Sherman and the
magnitude and enthusiasm of the re-.

he left his car in a driving snowstorm

THE GREATEST CONFEDERATE
COMMANDER.

Attempts on the part OF Union sym
pathiscrs to discriminate between
southern commanders during the Civil
war have often been criticised on the
ground of sectional prejudice. 1t is
encouraging therefore when those
most Intimately associated with the
foremost generals of tho Confederate
armies can be pursued to give the pub
lie the benefit of their own ideas in re-
lation to the comparative merits of
the military heroes of the South
United states Senator Culberson of
Texas has performed genuine service
for the cause of history by helping ~
settle the question from southern point
of view as to the greatest military
genius produced by the secession
movement The senator some time
since sent out n letter addressed to for
ty-three surviving confederate Off
GERS of high rank. In which he stated
that he took deep interest in the his
tory Of the war, and asked the recip-
lent to give an opinion as to who Is
entitled to rank as the greatest CONS
mandcr developed on the southern
side" To this letter there were forty
replies
Many people have probably reached
the conclusion that Gen. Lee was the
unqucstioncd paramount leader among
southern commanders, but tho replies
received by Senator Culberson show
surprising difference of opinion in
this respect. a majority of the old
commanders of the Confederate army
do place Lee first, among those so vot-
ing beins Licut-Gcn. Simon b. Buck
ner, Lieut. Gen. stephen d. Lee and
Ma jor- Generals Butler, French, Hokc,
seven Embellishments. But Lieut.
Gen. A. p. Stewart and Brig. Gen.
Francis NJ. Cockrcll declared for JOS
eph T.. Johnston, while MajorGcn.
Thomas +. Rosscr and Brig Gen. +.
II. Robertson said "Stonewall' jack
son. one general made a non-cominit-
tai answer, and Brighten. Robert y.
Johnson, while admitting Lees pre-
cminence, indicated the belief that
Gen. n. r. Forrest was tho greatest
natural military genius tho South pro-
duccd, evidently seeking to give the
impression that, with Lees training,
which had been the best the country
afforded. both at the military AGA
envy and in the war with Mexico For
rest would have made a foremost
place for himself
With this result staring them in the
face unprecedented critics of the wal
can be excused for differing as to the
comparative merits Of Confederate
commanders.

THE VOTE ON LICENSE.

Some noteworthy changes took place
in different towns in Vermont Tues
day in connection with the vote on the
question Of licenUing the sale Of in
toxicating liquor as beverage. Bur-
nngton, which voted against license n
1907, swung back into the license col .
umn, and the same thing Is truo If
Colchester, Richmond, Swanton Bakers
field. Brandon, and various small
towns. The license towns number
about the same as last year in the
State as n whole.
To Offset these changes are n num-
Der of large towns that passed from
The license column to no-license.
Among the towns which changed to no
license are Barre city, st, Adams city,
Rockingham, which includes bellows
Falls. Middlebury. St. George, and var
ious small places.
1t is evident that the greatest gains
made by license have been in Chitten-
den county, whereas Washington coun-
ty becomes one OF the prohibition
strongholds in the state, Burlington
Rutland, Brandon, Bennington and
Swanton are the license centers on the
west side OF the mountain, and IT i.
significant that practically all of the
large towns on the east side are now
againSt the saloon
The greatest changes in sentiment
on the license question have been re-
corded IN Burlington among all the
towns in Vermont. the swinging OF the
pendulum from license majority Of
1.760 In 1903 to n no majority OF 431 In
1907. making n total change OF 2,19l
votes, while the no majority last year
and the license majority of $50 this
year makes> a total change OF 1.211
votes. The largest vote for license lr
Burlington was cast last year when
1857 voters passed on the question
and the second largest vote was 3,33s
in 1904. when the yes majority was
S45. whereas this year the total vote
was only S,os6, 1t Is evident, how.
ever. that the falling off in the vote
does not account for the change In the
city's attitude on the question of Ii.
cense.

NOISELESS AND SMOKELESS
WEAPON,

SON Of tho inventor of the Maxim
machine gun claims to have discovered
"a device which viii render the dis

According to the inventors own
| testimony this wonderful discovery
was an accident in connection with
his attempt to devise methoq III

cidental to the running of engines on
automobiles, the principle involved in
| the new weapon being similar to that
used in the automobile muffler, the
noise OF discharge due to the sudden
release OF gas at the 1nuzze of the
gun being prevented through the
action of a transverse acting piston
valve, which allows the gas to escape
gradually.
The device consists of siloncing
arrangement that can be applied to
the barrel OF the ordinary hrearm. In
an ordinary firing the bullet. when it
energies from the muzzlc, liberates
tho high pressure gases. which by
striking the air suddenly cause tho
loud explosion. In the new gun the
gases are shut off just before tho
bullet passes. This valve is actuatcd
entirely by the gas pressure In the
gun barrel and Is free from all actu.
atins mechanism. After the bullet has
passed out OF the barrel the gases
arc allowed to escape gradually
through small holes. This annuls all
noise except a slight kissing sound.
turn to open position when the gases
have all escaped. and safety device
working in connection with the firing
mechanism prevents the firing of a
new cartridge unless the valve is in
place. The construction is extremely
simple, the gun having the appear
ance Of the usual rife, with small
cross piece in the barrel about five
inches from the end,
Judging from all accounts the per
fecting of this silencing device fol-
firearms of all kinds will tend to
completely rcvolutionize certain
methods of warfare Armed with 81
lent weapons an ambushed force
would be practically unassailable b.

impossible for a considerable peroC
to learn from what quarter bullets
were coming. Through the use of thi,
device a force marching into an am
buscade could be practically annihil,
lated before it could locate its assail
ants.
, Along with Transforming influence
in the military field come other con,
slderations. however. The use Of
noseless and smokeless weapon may
, tend to promote crime through tn,

THE FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCuLo'

While Vermont is beginning to en-
ioy the benefits flowing from the SAM
torium established by Senator Proctor
70 aid the people of this State in the
crusade against tuberculosis. it is in
terestinE to note that the cause is also
making gratifying progress elsewhere.
Mr. Carnegie has just added to mis-
list of world wide bcnefactions by do
Mating the .um of 100000 to complete
the fuAd necessary for tho continue
ton Of Or Koch's researches into the
cause and cure Of consumption. Nr.
Carnegie write, that his gift is the re-
suit of conversation a. Kiol last
summer with Or Won Ilborg. tho Kais-
crs body physician. who interested him
in the subject. Mr. Carnegie adds that
he regards Koch, Pasteu- and Ilstc-
as the three great Leaders of ciyilizp-
zion.
The crusade against this disease has
already made gratifying progress, and
in view Of the manner in which other
dread ailments have been overcome
through the application Of science -
the development OF toxin treatment
there is every reason to conclude that
science will yet win n sweeping vic
tory against tuberculosis.
