NEW STATES MUST WAIT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Numerous dele

which have come here TO press the claims
Of those territories for statehood. have
learned that the senate leaders dc not in
tend to permit the statehood bill TO pass
at the present session. This decision has
been reached at an Informal conference
OF senate leaders. II was said tina there
is not enough time remaining of this con-
gress TO enact the necessary legislation.
Statehood measures invariably provoke
prolonged discussion.
An additional reason advanced by senate
leaders against the proposition is the fact
that members who have discussed the
qualifications OF these territories differ
widely as to the character of the popula-
ton and its ability to carry the response
bilities OF statehood. II is said that there
are a number OF questions to be settled
which will be answered by the coming de-
cennial census. and many members OF con-
gress therefore urge that, statehood be de-
layed until after IL has been taken. Many
other members, including Senator Foraker,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-COnsiderable
opposition to the confirmation OF Daniel
j. Keefe OF Michigan. who was nominated
by the president on December / to sue
coed the late Frank Sargent as commits
sioner general OF immigration, has de-
veloped in the senate under the leadership
Of Mr.. Gore OF Oklahoma. The objection
to confirmation advanced by Mr.. Gore Is
the fact that a report has been made to
him by certain labor leaders that Mr.,
Keefe received the appointment as a re-
ward for breaking with President Gompers
OF the American Federation of Labo dur
ing the recent presidential campaign,
Some labor leaders have gone SO far az
to send letters to members OF congress
charging that Mr.. Keefe, as a prominent
labor leader himUelf. has been a traitor to
the cause Of labor. Several efforts have
been made by Senator Dillingham;, chair
man OF the committee on Immigration, to
obtain action on this nomination in COM
mittee. but thus far he has failed. Senator
Gore has given notice of a desire TO ap-
pear before the immigration committee and
to argue his objections to Keefe's confirma-

The Nerve Center.
The bureau at Washington is essentially
a nerve center from which are directed
operations in the twenty-five districts into
which che country is divided on the secret

an operative is stationed, just as a patrol

NO CHANGE AT BARRE
Cutters and Manufacturers Unable to
Reach an Understanding

Barre, Nov. 24.-On the surface
there is no change in the situation
created by the lockout of the granite
cutters in Washington county. About
2500 granite workers are in the city
to register for their lockout pay OF
$1.25 a day.
Monday a conference was held be-
tween a committee from the Mont
peier branch of the Cutters Union
and committee from the Barre
Granite Manufacturers association,
but no compromise was reached. A
telegram was received from James
Duncan, secretary of the Granite Cut
ters' International association but its
contents were not made known.
AS a result of the lockout about 300
men have been laid off from the quar-
ries on the Barre hill. II the lockout
should continue for any length of
time there will be little demand for
the product of the quarries and it is
thought that probably most of them
will be closed.

STOMACH FEELS FINE.
Dyspepsia, Gas, Heartburn and lndi-
aestion Go Five Minutes Later

Dyspepsia, Gas, Heartburn and indi-
eestion Go Five Minutes Later
If you had some Diapepsin handy
and would take a little now your
stomach distress or Indigestion would
vanish in five minutes and you would
feel fine.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome a
sour, out of order stomach before you
realize it.
If your meals don't tempt you, on
what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like a lump of lead in
your stomach, or if you have heart
burn, that is a sign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take
a little just as soon as you can. There
will be no sour risings, no belching
of undigested food mixed with acid,
no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness
or heavy feeling in the stomach, Nau-
sea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizzi-
ness or Intestinal Gripping. This will
all 60 and, besides, there will be no
undigested food left over in the stom.
ach to poison your breath with naus-
eous odors.
Papes Diapepsin is certain cure
for out of order stomachs because it
prevents fermentation and takes hold
of your food and digests it just the
same as if your stomach wasn't there.
Relief in five minutes from all sto-
mach misery is at any drugstore wait
ing for you.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to thoroughly
cure almost any case of Dyspepsia,
Indigestion or any other stomach dis
turbance.

RE.coMMITMENr HEARINGS
To Be Held at the Local Probate Of
flee Monday, December 6

The re-commitment hearings in the
cases of insane patients sent to the
Brattleboro retreat from the south
shire in this county will be held at
the probate Office Monday December
6.
1t is expected that Overseer George
r. Mathers will go 10 Brattleboro on
Friday with the nec. ssary papers and
that he will be accompanied by two
local physicians to make the neces-
sary examinations. The physicians
at Brattleboro are making a charge
of S. for each examination and as
there will be over 20 to be recommit-
ed from this section it has been
thought best to send local physicians
to do the work.
December 9Th is the earliest date
upon which the hearings can be held
and for the first six days of Decem-
Der the care of all patients still UNI
committed must fall upon the towns
from which they were sent.
While the arrangements have not
been all completed it is probable that
in addition to the l6 patients from
this town there will be three from
SALISBURY, one from Readsboro, one
from Woodford and one from Sears
brig to be examined and served with
the necessary process papers.
One of the patients listed from Ben
nington was committed from the Yer
mont Soldiers Home and another
from one of the penal institutions of
the state, probably the house of cor
rection at Rutland.

THE SUGAR SCANDAL

The Taft administration shold not
lend itself TO a raid upon the proper
ty of 5000 women and 1900 oud
small holders of this stock THAT of
the sugar trustl-for less than 100
stockholders hold more than 1000
shares. 1t should rather insist that
every legal means shall be employed
to conserve and protect their prop
erty That, indeed is the office of
government and thet alone should an
innate the proposed inquiry.
It doesn't seem possible that the
foregoing can be the deliberate edi-
torial utterance of Vermont news
paper but it is. OF course there is
only one paper in the state that is so
wrapped up in corporation influence
and atmosphere as to be guilty of put
ting the interest of a VIGOROUSLY cor
rupt and confessedly criminal mon
opoly ahead of the welfare of the peo-
pie of the United States, but that
there should be one is a cause for sin
cere regret. The paragraph is from
half column editorial in the Rut-
land Herald on the sugar scandal, the
remainder of the article being unim-
portant in comparison with the extra
ordinary attitude taken in the para
graph quoted.
Think for minute what this would
mean. AS if it were possible to prop
erly punish a thief without taking
away from him any of the stolen
property, especially when every man,
woman and child in the country has
suffered from his depredations.
Consider the moral vision of
newspaper that declares that it is the
office of government to conserve and
protect the property of a criminal
combine that has looted the pockets
of the people of millions of dollars of
hard earned money by methods just
as disreputable and damnable as to
knock a man down on the street and
take away his pay envelope. Can any
honest man read such stuff without
making his blood boil in righteous
horror and indignation?
The arguments of these sycophants
of the trusts and organs of the money
gods is that this trust stock has been
sold to innocent people and that they
ought not to suffer, Why shouldn't
they suffer a little? They have re-
ceived stolen goods. They have shar-
ed in profits wrung by dishonest
means from thousands of widows and
orphans and unnumbered multitudes
of poor people who daily face want
for themselves and their helpless
children. Which is to be considered
first, the few thousands of people
who have shared the stolen dividends
or the millions who have been robbed
and will be again unless an example
is made of this Shiny and outrageous
combine which for twenty years has
been taking daily toll of one of the
commonest necessities of every
home.
Let the chief burden of punishment
fall where it belongs, on the officials
and high up employees of the sugar
trust The 1900 innocent" stock
holders can only suffer through rea-
sonable depreciation in the value of
their property. They deserve that
much for being caught in partnership
with thieves. Let no crocodile tears
in their behalf distract attention from
the main issue, especially when those
tears are shed by a pronounced and
inveterate apologist for trusts and
| monopolies.
