as trusts. Others less arrogantly as
sumptiye Of popular ignorance and
creduilty admitted that there. might
be such things as trusts, but, II so,
there were good ones as we'll as
bad ones. In short, there is not now
an industrial evil in behalf OF which
that party's campaign orators and
party platforms did not In former
years run the entire gamut of denl-
al, defense and apology.
This complete change Of party at
titude has occurred not only in re-
spcet of the industrial institutions
and interests, but it has also &C.
Cured in respect to the demand for
reformed or enlarged government ag-
encies. An insistent demand Of
the Peoples Party was for govern
ment postal savings department. That
demand was mathematical as so
cialistic" and was opposed as an at
tempt to force the government. into
the business of banking in competi-
ton with private individuals. A main
Republican claim to favor now is the
party's advocacy of postal savings
banks, their Recommendation being
not merely as better alternative tina
adjunct to the ordinary banking
facilities. Instances Of the kind men,
toned might be multiplied, but the
fact that the Republican Party In
recent campaigns opposed substan-
TALLY everything 1t now processes to
stand for, and is endeavoring to crow
the Democratic Party off It's platform
and usurp 1t itseK is a fact Of such
recent history as not to be denied.
Admitting the fact that since the

paign utterances Of many Of its can
didates, is undistinguishable in most
particulars from the Peoples Party OF
recent years. 1t is undeniably true,
and for that matter frankly admitted
by that large contingent Of Repub-
hcans who still adhere to their old
time faith, that, so far as preten-
sions go, the Republican Party is now
not only arrogantly obtruding itseh
on the Populist and Democratic plat
forms. but is impudently seeking to
eject us wholly therefrom. If that
party could be accredited with SIN
cerity in its professions OF fealty 10
the popular cause we might well not
only admit it to full fellowship but
abandon to it the entire labor of con-
serving the public interests. We are
permitted, however, to question not
alone the soundness Of the political
doctrines Of a party, but also its SIN
cerity in their advocacy, and like
wise its ability to put them into prac'
tical execution. The sincerity OF the
present pretensions Of the Republi-
can Party and its ability to hold IL
self to the performance Of its pro
LESSONS may be well questioned.
say so for two principal reasons:
First because Of the complete rever-
sal Of position which that party has
recently assumed on substantially all
subjects Of popular interest; and Sec

NO MORE GAMES.
Basketball Series for State Champion
ship Declared Of.

There will be no more games this
season between Brattleboro and st.
Johnsbury to determine the basketball
championship of the state. This mat
ter was settled last night after tele.
phone conversation with several of the
St. Johnsbary directors. The Brattle'
boro management told the st. Johns
bury men that nothing further would
be done unless Manager Gray was elm
mated from all connection with the
series. The reoly was that st. Johns
bus stood behind Manager Gray in
everything he did. That settled it.
When the st. Johnsbury team came
to Brattleboro it received the very
best treatment that was possible, and
not a word of complaint was made by
the local management although 1t felt
reasonably sure that mistake had
been made in the score kept by Man
ager Gray. The way the local team
was treated when it went to st. Johns
bury. is told in another column. In ad,
dition it may be said that the local
management has heard from reliable
sources enough about Gray to make it
feel certain that the st. Johnsbury
manager and fair deal cannot go to-
gether. That Gray is not popular with
the better class of basketball fans in
st. Johnsbury is evident from what
visitors to that town learned Wednes'
day. but as long as the directors of the
St Johnsbury team uphold him there
is no need of saying anything more

ROOSEVELT TALKED TOO MUCH.
So Said Congressman Haskins at Meet
ing of Vermont Veterans in Boston.

Congressman Kittredge Haskins was
one of the speakers at meeting Of
the Boston Vermont Veterans asso-
citation in Young's hotel last Friday
evening. He spoke against the naval
policy of the administration, saying IN
part:
"Despite the assertions of the vel
low journals, there is no danger OF
war with Japan. No country on the
face of the earth has greater regard
for the United States than the empire
of Japan. There is no need Of a tre-
mendous navy or great standing
army. Our force of 10000 men is suf-
ficient for present purposes and II we
ever have a war we can, in a week,
raise 100000 more men and lick the
whole world. The money annually ex-
pended on battleships could be used to
far greater advantage in building up
our merchant marine, so that American
products may be carried in American
bottoms and so that we may be never
more disgraced, as we are at present,
by being obliged to employ foreign
vessels as colliers for our battleship
feet
Of the present financial depression
the speaker said:
"The people of this country seem to
have lost confidence. The cause is not
far to seek. Some say it is the extrav-
agant way in which our business men
live; others say it is the accumulation
of wealth in the hands OF the few;
still others blame President Roosevelt.
The president should talk less and
leave these matters to be treated IN
quiet and dignified fashion by the de-
partment of justice. The result OF the
president s utterances has been that
the honestly conducted corporations
have retrenched and refuse to take the
initiative in business enterprise. They
don It know who is going to be gored
next"

lowed 10 recover one cent aud costs for
damages in an ejectment suit brought
by RAYMOND against French to remove
him from a farm owned by Raymond
known as the David Perry farm. The
next is ease in which Raymond seeks
TO recover damages from French to the
extent of 800 for hay, etc, which he
claims French used. Raymond also
claims that French owes him 800 for
several loads of manure. BY way of
Offset French claims sl25 for work
done on the farm and money spent in
