Gen. F. d. Grants appearance in
the uniform of his rank as general
OF the United States army, at the head
of a prohibition parade through the
streets of Chicago. may have been an
indiscretion for which the war de-
paFtment will be compelled to repri-
mand him An indignant citizen of
Chicago who views the prohibition
movement in that interesting city
with alarm and loathing has not been
! backward in calling Secretary Dick
inson's attention to the case, and in
the secretary's hands the technical
aspects of the affair may be left.
But the threatened dry" movement
in Chicago is the real issue. 1t al
ready begins to loom darkly over the
thousands of saloons in the town; and
There is no lack of assurance that the
next municipal election in April. 1910
will be distinguished by the first SER
ious effect thus far made to carry a
city of the first magnitude for no-li-
cense. The $4,000 names required for
the submission of the issue to the vo-
tiers. under Illinois law, are being Sc
cured, and the no-license campaign
will be fact before the snow flies.
The anti-saloon leaders who are
most untiring in the South and West,
have hitherto been content to domi-
nate the sumptuary laws of the large
cities through state legislation and
their determination to invade Chicago
by the front door, putting the issue
squarely on a local basis, reveals a
new form of aggression and cour-
age that EFFORTS admiration.
The carrying of Chicago for prohi-
bition does not seem in the least DOS
sible in view of the cosmopolitan
character of its people; but there's no
telling. A dry" victory would shake
saloondom fhom ocean to ocean like
an earthquake. AS a simple specta-
Gle, it would be worth going miles to
see Gen. Grants influence has been
so vast that he may be the next pro-
hi0itiOn candidate for The presidency.

THE NEW YORK ELECTION

The election of mayor in New
York City this fall attracts the inter
est of the whole country for New
York is the first city of the Western
hemisphere and is now second only
to London of the cities of the world.
Politically, New York City is always
interesting and picturesque. AS be-
fore for many years it is Tammany
against the field. The great point is
whether Tammany has held its
strength with the changing character
of the population of the city.
few years ago the working class
es of New York City were largely
Irish and German. But these Irish
and German Americans, or very
large portion of them, have prospered
and progressed. They have grown
out of the laboring class into the bus
mess and professional classes and
this progression has scattered them.
Even when they still do business in
New York their growing prosperity
has enabled them to buy homes in the
suburban towns and has taken them
out of city politics. The new work
ing classes in New York are Jews and
Italians largely, with the balance
overwhelmingly Jews. There are
hundred thousand new Jewish voters
in greater New York since the last
mayoralty election, more. than enough
to decide the election.
The question is have the Tammany
politicians been able to bring the in
coming horde of Jewish and Italian
voters to their support? In the nat
ional and state elections last year it
was evident that the Hebrew voters
largely voted for the Republican can
didates. If they do the same in the
city election the first Tuesday in No
vember, Tammany will be beaten. 1t
is an unusually interesting election,
for to an extraordinary degree it will
have an influence in making future
history.

The secretary of state reports that
the taxable poll valuation in Barre is
659S this year, while in Rutland it is
6412. Il looks as If Barre were the
6412. 1t looks as if Barre were the
Barre Times.
Barre mustn't feel too confident.
Perhaps the Barre listers may have
been more diligent in hunting up poll
tax payers than those of Rutland.
Then too, Barre is newer town and
has a larger proportion of unmarried
men, as well as some few with famil-
les in the old country.

night riders accused of numbering
Capt. Quentin Rankin rested today
and the state began its rebuttal.
When court adjourned Mrs. Bud
Morris, whose sensational confession
of perjury was the feature of the
trial today, accompanied by her hus-
band and baby and under the protec-
ton of six soldiers, left for Dresden
to reside. So great was her fear
and terror that she failed to wait to
get the other children.
Mrs. Bud Morris, wife of one of
the confessed night riders, on the
stand yesterday impeached the testi-
mony of her husband. Morris tes-
titled that he was present when Cap
tain Rankin was killed and recog-
niZed some of the defendants. His
wife testified that Morris was at
home the night Rankin was killed.
Recalled at her own request she
declared her former testimony was
a lie and that she was forced by
relatives to give false testimony
She has made a statement to the at
torney general which will prabably
result in several new indictments.
