A New and Terrible Cannon.

Recently a new invention has been
introduced in the manufacture of can
mons, increasing their range and resis-
lance to explosion. 1t was first used on
a large scale in other countries. but it is,
nevertheless. the invention of NJ. Schultz,
captain of French artillery. It's a can
non of steel wire, and is constructed thus:
$50 kilometers of steel wire of quadrang-
ular cross-section, three millimeters wide
and one millimeter thick, are coiled
about a number of longitudinal steel
bars, which constitute the bore of the
cannon. The wire is heated 30 that when
it cools and shrinks it effects pressure
which holds the pieces forming the bore
very firmly. The advantage of such
cannons is that they are stronger, they
offer greater resistance to circumferential
strain, and can be constructed at half the
price of others. A perforating projectile
from piece of this kind can pierce par
ticularly hard steel plate equal in thick
ness to its caliber. Thus shell from one
of these cannons pierced a plate twenty
centimeters, and found intact, buried
2. 40 meters in the earth. Where shall
we stop in this ath-dealing process?-

FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1908.

1t will be seen from reports copied in
this paper from different state papers,
that Ex-Lieutenant Governor Stanton's
candidacy for Governor is being most
favorably received throughout the State.
The Register gets the same reports from
many individuals.
The voters understand that Mr.. Stanton
has always fulfilled faithfully the duties
of the various offices to which he has
been elected. They understand, too, that
in all respects he is a representative
demonstrating the welfare of the
State.
He is, too, strong supporter of Roose-
welt, which will please nearl, all Repub-
licans, as well as many who have not
hitherto acted with the Republicans.
And that he has no automobile to in
timidate, annoy and perhaps injure or
kill his neighbors and fellow citizens, will
rebound to his credit with at least seven
eighths of the people of the State.
We bespeak for Mr.. Stanton large
majority in this county, and shall expect
the same will be true throughout the
State.

The Rest Fertilizer for the
Garden.

There is probably no better Fertilizer for
use on Gardens, Lawns, shrubbery, ETC., than
Pure Raw Ground Bone. 1t is excellent
when used alone, but it becomes especially
valuable when used with Ashes, and such
chemicals as Nitrate of Soda, Muriate Of
Potash, Acid Phosphate, etc.
Raw Ground Bone, guaranteed to be abso-
lutely pure and nnadulterated, will be fur
nished by c. S. Page, Hyde Park, VT, at
$500 per barrel of 200 pounds, freight pre-
paid to almost any railroad station. He also
furnishes the chemicals above named at rea-
sonable prices.
Send him your name on postal card, men
tioning this paper, and he will send you free,
postpaid, a little booklet giving directions for
using Raw Ground Bone. The booklet also
contains formulas for mixing complete Ferti-
lizers at home, both for the farm and garden,
as well as lot Of other valuable information
regarding the use Of Fertilizers on lawns and
for different kinds of plants and flowers

ton Post to the effect that Secretary Taft
favors an enlargement of the army until
il reaches 1875, 900 men. Senator Hale
calls attention to the fact that this years
appropriation is almost one hundred mill
lion of dollars, and says that the navy
appropriation is increasing also. He re.
minds the senate that the building of
the navy is only the beginning Of the ex-
penditure. "You commit the country to
repair and maintenance" he says, "mak-
ing necessary an increasing appropria-
ton, and if you go on we are going to
naval appropriation in three or four
years that will amount to one hundred
and fifty millions annually" The sena-
tor says that if this program is carried
out, 1--WE will have an army costing two
hundred millions, and nothing short of
that will satisfy the army"
What lies back of this demand for a
bigger army and bigger navy? Fear of
war. And what causes this fear of war?
Our imperialistic plans. We are to be a
"world power" we are to mingle in the
disputes of the eastern hemisphere and
grab islands wherever we can. We are
to demand land wherever we think it
will help our trade. and fight for it if
necessary. The public ought to know
tnaC tnere IL no emu 10 preparation IOr
war; for increase in our army or navy
stimulates other nations to an increase,
and every increase they make renews
our activity. Thus each nation is used to
force every other nation into an increase
of armament and preparation for war
Where is the end? 1t can be found only
in the extinction of the competing ma
tions. How long will the farmers con-
sent to bear the burden of these war; like
preparations? How long will the labor.
ing men submit without protest? The
doctrine that peace can be made secure
by this rivalry in military and naval ex
travagance is as contrary to reason as il
is to the spirit of our civilization and tc
the ideals of Christianity. Imperialism
is a poison and no limit can be set to the
spread of the disease until the poison is
expelled. -Bryan's Commoner.

OPINIONS OF THE. PRESS.
Various Matters from vsrIous
stsndp oints.
THE CONVENTION.

The one thing that overshadowed all
else at both the two district conventions
Tuesday and the state convention We'd.
nesday afternoon, was the enthusiasm
for Roosevelt.
Vermont is Enthusiastically for the re-
nomination of President Roosevelt. There
is no use being blind to the fact.
1t was only by skillful diplomacy that
the conventions avoided the direct en-.
dorsement of Roosevelt.
Next to this was the great interest in
the senatorial contest. There were all
sorts of booms in evidence and any one
who thinks that the question is settled
has another think coming.
1t will not be given out by the purtisan
press, but it is fact that there will be
at least three and probably four candi-
dates in the field when the legislature
meets.
The friends of Gov. Page were very
much in evidence as were the friends of
Congressman Foster, Hon. o. NJ. Barber
of Bennington was present and had a
host of friends around him, wherever he
went. The name of Senator Stewart
was frequently heard and all seemed
proud of the standing he has given Yer.
mont. Other names were mentioned
and it is evident there will be something
doing every day this summer.
Perhaps the most surprising develop
ment of the conventions was the strong
undercurrent for Judge Zed S. Stanton
for governor.
His support came from all parts Of the
state and was enthusiastic and earnest
even from Washington county, that had
been reported lukewarm. 1t was just
the opposite. Burlington Clipper.

There will always have to be restric-
tions of one sort and another for automo-
biles, because the owner or the chauff-
er or both want more than the earth.
Before long it will be forbidden in any
part of the country to use the various de-
vices of chains or iron or steel-covered
tires to guard against "skidding." Skid
ding is due to extravagantly rapid riding.
The remedy for it is to 60 cautiously at
places where skidding is probable. But
the automobilist's practice is to drive at
the highest speed and get off, or turn
over. and wreck the whole machine, or
run down a vehicle met because his car
skids,-as it must do under certain cir
cumstances. Consequently, these de-
vices, adopted 10 evade the law and de-
structive Of the highway, are altogether
unbelievable. So not only in New York
parks all automobiles equipped with tire
chains or spiked or otherwise metal-cov-
cred tires, are forbidden, but the Metro
politan park commission of Boston has
imposed fine of $50 on every chauffeur
operating such a machine.

SENATOR STEWART.

There is considerable talk of quiet
movement to reseat Senator Stewart by
vote of the legislature this fall, and this
project would stand considerable chance
of being carried out if, as now seems
likely, Messrs. Page, Foster and possibly
Barber tie the election up amongst them.
In such an event, an easy way to cut the
Gordian knot would be for the comprom-
Use section of the Legislature to turn to
Stewart. This would take care of the
unexpired term and. pretty effectually
prevent the establishment of a new ma
chine. More than all that, the renas-

FOR ROOSEVELT.
Canvass in New York s h o w q
Strong Demand for His
denomination.

John A. Stewart, president of the
League of Republican Clubs of New
York, has completed a final canvass of
that State on the Presidential question.
In a statement recently Mr.. Stewart said:
''The result of the canvass is a practi-
cally unanimous demand for the renom-
ination of Theodore Roosevelt, less than
2 per cent of the replies containing dis
sents from this proposition.
"Until to-day in New York state and
elsewhere there is conviction that sue
cess next November will be certain if
Roosevelt is renominated. While the let
tiers received express the belief that any
of the candidates named can be elected,
provided Bryan be nominated and the
Republicans harmonic their differences
and pull together, yet it seems to be be-
lieved that the term doubtful need not
be used, at least not in New York state,
in the event of Roosevelt's nomination,
but that it must be used in the event of
any one else's nomination.
Zone remarkable thing about the let
tiers of the canvass is the almost entire
absence in them of any expression in
dicating fear of the third-term issue.
In fact, it is almost entirely ignored as
entirely inapplicable to the present situa-
ton. Ii is apparently not believed that
Rooeevelts enemies could make any
Roadway against him with the third
term bogy.
at seems to be the consensus of views
that Gov. Hughes has raised issues in
the state of New York which must be
defended by him as the Republican nom
inee for governor, and that these issues
have set before him and the good people
of the state of New York task which
enlist his services for the coming two
years."
