SINGLE men Do not
NEED TO ASK help
City and Township Officials Declare They Will Not
Spend Money For Lazy Hulks Who
Don't Work

"NO single, able bodied man
need apply to us for help. We
want the unemployed men who
are not residents of Hammond
to get out of town. They only
foment trouble while they are
here. If a man is sick or needy
or IL he has a family, there is
some excuse for his asking for
assistance in times like this, but
the abIe-bOdied man must get
out and look for work; must
shift for themselves"
CHIEF OF POLICE RIMBACH.
fsThe number of men who
are applying to us for help ts
increasing every day. II In
dustrfaI conditions do not i'm
prove, ] do not know what we
will do in another month. 1t
is hard to imagine what the
condition Of affairs will be.
Last month I was compelled to
pay out S1,4OO for the assist
ance of the poor. This is more
than was demanded in any
previous five months. William
Kunert, in Calumet township,
was compelled to spent $1,1OO
during that period"
Trustee North Township,
RICHARD SCHAAF.
f0Therc is but one thing to do
in a situation like this, and that
Is to feed those who are starv-
ing and are worthy of help. I
believe that all unmarried un-
employed men who are not per-
manent residents of the city,
should be compelled to get out
Of town. The other day i got
hungry HunIxie a job on a farm
at a salary of $40 a month and
found. He worked a day or
two and then walked back to
town. When these foreigners
would rather be objects of
charity than work for their
board, they are not worthy of
nucfa sympathy.0

Redfield Proctor.

The death of Senator Redfield Proctor,
of Vermont, was entirely unexpected,
and the news of it will shock many of
his friends in Washington who saw him
recently in his usual health. His was a
long and arduous life, filled with notable
achievements. He was WI, II educated,
and was beginning an active law prac
tice when the war occurred. He served
CALAMITY during the struggle, first on the
staff of Gen. "Baldy" Smith, and later as
major and colonel of the Fifth and Fiji
tenth regiments. Entering politics, he
served in the Vermont legislature for
several terms, became president pro tenn
pore of the State senate, lieutenant gov
ernor, and finally, in 1878, governor of
his native State. He became nationally
prominent in 1885, when President Harri-
son appointed him Secretary of War.
Mr.. Proctor served in that capacity for
nearly three years, when he resigned to
accept the appointment as United States
Senator to succeed George +. Edmunds
who had resigned. Senator Proctor had
been elected to succeed himself ever
since.
Although not among the orators of the
Senate, the Vermont Senator was prom.
inent figure. particularly when military
and agricultural affairs were under con
sideration. He acted as chairman of the
Committee on Military Affairs for sever
al years, and his experience in the field
and as Secretary of War was very valu
able in framing legislation. He then be.
came chairman of the Committee on
Agriculture, which he preferred, and
much of the progress made by the De
partment of Agriculture may be credit
ed to him.
In business Senator Proctor was con.
spicuously successful, building up one OF
the greatest enterprises in New England
He was popular among his colleagues
Also although not addicted to social pleas
ures. His character possessed many Of
the sterling, rugged qualities attributed
to oldfashioned New Englanders, anC
his great business capacity made him {
useful Senator. The State of Vernon
and the nation will remember his grea
services. ashington Post.

Governor, but then handsomely refers to
that of Mr.. Stanton:

Governor, but then handsomely refers to
that of Mr.. Stanton:
The formal announcement OF the can
didacy of ex-Lieut. Gov. Zed s. Stanton,
of Roxbury, for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor of Vermont occasioned
no surprise. 1t has been in the air that
he was likely to be a candidate as far
back as when there was still uncertainty
whether Allen M. Fletcher, OF Cavendish,
would make the contest. And some men
prove to political mathematics had it all
figured out that as the third candidate
Mr.. Stanton stood very encouraging
chance to win, because, said they, either
MIR. Fletcher or Lieut.. Gov. George H.
Prouty would naturally turn his votes
oyer to MIR. Stanton rather than see them
go to the other. This may have been so.
The Messenger will not pretend that it
was not, because it does not know. 1t
has always entertained profound vener-
alton for the awful mysteries of political
figuring, the more SO as it never was
able to understand most of that kind of
mathematics. Now that Mr.. Fletcher is
not in the race and, there is, therefore,
no third man to win as residuary lega-
tee of the disappointment of the other
two, it will be up" to the figurers again
to show how Mr.. Stanton is to get ma
.jority of the votes.
While they are doing this The Mes
senger will say for itself that it entertains
cordially friendly estimate of Mr..
Stanton's mental qualifications and his
wholesome character as a citizen. His
candidacy is not to he dismissed flippant-
". 1t may represent something more
than his own ambition for higher politi.
cal honors or even the desire of friends
that he shall win them. 1t may be made
the rallying point of various elements in
the state that have been calling for a
third candidate or urging Governor Proc
tor to run second time. The Messen-
ger is frank to say that, apart from a
very loyal support that he will attach to
himself on his own merits, Mr.. Stanton
is likely to have some hackers that are
simply opposed to the nomination of Mr.
PrOuty.

Auto m bile Bills in Verm o Mt q.

A correspondent of the Register writes
A careful inspection of the records of
the last legislature shows that during the
session of 1906, there were nine bills in.
troduced in the House bearing upon the
regulation of automobiles: l think no
measures.
No. 3 was introduced by Cady of Mid
dlebury but never got further than its
introduction. l suppose he dropped it
when he took up the bill drawn by Mr..
Stickney.
No. 81 was introduced by Mr.. Haseltine
of Andover So by Moore of Plymouth
113 by Wallace of Waitsfield; 132 by
Dewart of st. Adams city 344 by Robin
son of Waterbury; 1863 (the Stickney billy
by Cady of Middlebury; 410 by Benson
of Newfane and SAB by Bannister of
Roxbury.
These eight bills-all but No. 3-were
referred to the General Committee of is.
This committee struggled with them and
bill No. 674. which they reported favor
ably to the House. Then the amending
began. After things were sufficiently
muddled, and the bill mutilated beyond
all hope of recognition. the whole matter
was referred to a joint committee of
Senate and House. This joint committee
patched up a bill which is the present
law.
No yea and nay vote was taken on
these bills in the House.
What was done in the Senate l could
not learn-whether a yea and nay vote
was ever had or whether there was any
Senate bill relating to the matter-as the
Senate journal has not been published
and all the papers are in Rutland, in the
hands of the Clerk, Mr.. Farnsworth.
There was no law passed relating t.
the cutting of trees by the road side ant
no such bill introduced in the house
What was done in the Senate, as / said
/ could not learn.
There was a bill, which became law
giving cities and incorporated villages
the right to elect tree wardens with tn,
same powers and duties which belong t,
tree wardens elected by the respectiv,
towns.

Burlington and was most favorably i'm
pressed with the man. He is clear headed
and strong full of quiet dignity which
is very pleasing and effective. No on,

FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1908.
Ex-Gov. Stewart The Man.

The suggestion made by the Burling-
ton Free Press that Governor Proctor
should call an extra session of the Lesis-
lature to elect United States Senator
is in every way very foolish one. 1t
means large bill of expense with no
possible good results which cannot be OBJ
tanned without extra expense but by the
Legislature to be chosen in September.
The people will be entirely pleased if the
Governor appoints at once some good
man to fill the vacancy and we shall be
entirely pleased here if it happens to be
our townsman, Ex-Governor Stewart,
whose name has been suggested by a
number of Vermont journals and many
citizens.

Hansbroush May Get Place.

Much interest was manifested about
the Capitol yesterday in the probable as
signments of Senators TO the committees
of which the late Senator Proctor was q
member. Senator Proctor was chairman
of the committee on Agriculture and

next ranking member of this committee,

Taft Sentiment in Verm o Mt .
re st. Alban Messenger says:

The st. Alban Messenger says:
GA friend of The Messenger residing in
the eastern part of the State, and man
of statewide experience of public affairs
and reputation, writes:
There is a very strong sentiment for
Taft for President on this side of the
State. Going to the G. A. R. meeting
last week at Montpelier, l took opportun-
ity to find out the sentiment. | asked a
large number their choice and found
four-fifths of them for Taft. On the
train from Wells River to Montpelier
there were men from Orleans, Essex,
Caledonia and Orange counties. | asked
every man who his choice was. Among
the twenty men OF more l found only
one Hughes man. All the others were
for Taft. | believe the conditions in this
State are much as in 1896. The peo-
pie are for Taft and politicians are for
Hughes. '"
We believe the above to reflect the sem
timent of a large part of the Republican
voters, of the State, who, together with
many Democrats, sympathize with the
efforts of President Roosevelt to correct
certain well known and dishonest prac-
tees, that have crept into the manage
ment of corporations and which result
in very uneven distribution of property,
thus in some instances giving immense
fortunes to very few individuals.
There are other things connected with
the finances of the country, which the
President thinks should be done, and is
probably right. That there should be a
graded income tax is one. And in ques-
tions of labor he is constantly watching
that the just rights of laborers should not
be infringed. The great American people
appreciate all this, and there is no ques-
ton they would like to have him con-
tinue at the helm, which in the logic of
events may yet take place. But if not,
they are disposed to be guided by his
suggestions of a successor who will con-
tinue in these policies
And there is no question that this is a
most important matter. Nor do we
doubt either the inherent right or pro-
priety for the President, as a man, to do
all in his power to further important re-
forms, 50 necessary to good government.
This evidently, he believes-and we
think all will believe, when they care
fully consider ito be not only right
but duty. 1t is part of the principle
that our Presidents are named by the
whole people. PROFESSIONALLY some in
dividuals may accomplish more in the
results than others; and very probably
the President at this time may accom-
plish more than thousands of others
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1908-03-13

Then is his responsibility so much
greater to do what he can.
The Mortified News well says on this
subject:
The general understanding is that
President Roosevelt favors Taft's candi-
dacy because he believes that his election
would best insure the continuance of
the present progressive administration.
There is nothing to indicate to an un-
prejudiced soul that the President has
interfered' with anybody's presiden tial
aspirations. On the other hand, he has
repeatedly demanded fair play for all
possible candidates. Federal dictation
talk is all bosh."

We Nav Take Warninc.

In the burning of the school near
Cleveland, Ohio, the appalling loss of life
there is a lesson to be learned that many
school officers, as well as others, could
well profit by.
1t is evident, from this great accident
near Cleveland, that our school house
ought to have fire-escapes and good ones
on all four sides of the building. The
great danger in such buildings is the
blocking up of staircases and halls by the
children piling on each other, if any
happen to fall, or if anything impedes
their course. In such case often doors
cannot be reached.
In this case near Cleveland the great
loss of life came from these causes. The
building was two-story brick, with an
attic, which was used for the smaller
children because of want of room.
All of those in the attic escaped by the
tire-escapes, except four which were
down stairs, the principal loss of life
being in Railways and on stairs of front
floor.
This shows how important fire escapes
are, which if built right will give many
exits, the more the better, so that all
may get out l add clipping from ac-
count in Washington Post, illustrating
this.
TEACHER SAVES MOST OF CLASS.
miss Laura Bodey, the only teacher
on the third floor. formed her pupils in
line and marched them down to the sec.
ond floor; finding the flames rushing up
the stairway, she turned them around
and hurried them back again to the
third floor.
''She here broke window with a
chair. and getting onto platform of the
fire escape, lifted out her pupils one by
one and sent them down. Four or five
children who broke from the line she
had formed and ran down the stairway
were killed.
lone of the heroines of the catastrophe
was little Marie Whitman, of 5217 Lake
street. She ran through the smoke. filled
halls and grasped her little brother
whom she managed to drag from the
room and take out through a window
both of them being nearly strangled with
smoke"
Certainly this lesson should not be lost
upon us or any school, or other building
in the whole country, where large mum
bers may be congregated within.
The lesson is, that in all such cases
there should be fire-escapes from every
story above the first, SO arranged as t.
make every window safe way out.

copper today. When the boom start ed two years ago last sumner, con- servatiye engineers and promoters took l3c. IS a basis 'or calculations and referred 10 l5c. as something to be expected ia good times. Memories are indeed shcrt that forget the gen. eral exGltat.on when the price reach- ed l5t. at the beginning of 1905. Why then should thera he the present gloomy prognostieai ions that the ir- dustry is going to the dogs unless We have a speedy return to the abnormal and unsafe levels of 1906?
 It is true that in some cases the cost of production increased legiti- matelv, by which we mean increased because of more costly labor and ma terial: we exclude Increased cost of production because of deliberate min ing lower grade ose.
 In the case of thes Western mines, which suffered increased labor costs, conditions have now returned to the normal by the reduction in wages. and also the reduction in the number of men, the latter naturally increasing the average efficiency.
 The simple facts of the situation are that the mines which have high cost of production because of costly labor and material, or other unfavor- able conditions, or low grade of ore have besn naturally eliminated. Sim ilarly. those mines which took advant- age of an exceptionally high price for copper to realize something from their reserves of low grade ore, which otherwise would have been impossible, have been driven back to their normal conditions. In many cases the advis- able or necessary eadjustments re- quire little time which may justify a temporary suspension of production. but it may safely be said that any cop per mine which can not operate ptof- itably at price of E to llc. for cop per is not an attractive investment.- Engineering aad Mining Journal.
