nearer to solidity in the House than it
has been for years, for West Virginia
came into the Republican column as far
back as 1896. The South below the Po
tomac and exclusive of border states
was so Democratic before that it had
not much margin left for gains, and
though in conjunction with the south
west, it on the sth chose a majority of
the Democrats elected to Congress, what
it did was by no means so significant as
the overtufns accomplished in the north
east and nearer West by the Democrats
Of those regions The result, to which
gains of II seats in New York, in
Ohio and in Pennsylvania contributed
powerfully, is that Al districts were
wrested from the Republicans in an
area normally deemed Republican. The

middle West stood pretty firmly by the
Republican colors. Boston Transcript.

Our Political Geography.

Congressman-elect Doremus, Democrat
Of Michigan, is quoted as doubling the
political expediency of eleeting Champ
Clark speaker Of the house in the sixty
second Congress. Mr.. Doremus does
not 90 the length Of insurgency against
the apparently foreordained speaker, but
intimates that ii would be better for
the party if the presiding officer Of the
popular body were northern Demo
crat.
Possibly the Michigan protestant re-
fleets the larger view northern Democrats
habitually take Of national questions
as compared with their southern breth-
rem, who are apt to see no line Of ac-
ton save the color line, There has been
cleavage between northern and southern
Democrats before, as when the Demo-
Gratis Of Massachusetts,, in their state
convention few years ago, passed reso-
buttons on citizenship which virtually
condemned the disfranchisement OF the
colored voters of the South. To or
esnize the fruits of their victory, the
two wings OF the Democracy may come
together to choose a speaker, and the

the 227 Democrats now officially de-
clared to have been elected to the next

Take a Walk.

One thing that makes this nation too
dyspeptc and too inclined to exagger-
ate its ills, mental and physical, is
the fact that too few OF us have cor
rect idea as to the value OF walking
as health restorative and disease pre-
ventiye.
If the advantages to be derived from
long strolls taken every day, winter and
summer, could be impressed upon Amer
leans as they are upon people Of other
countries, a much harder race of citi-
zens would develop within few years.
Very few persons stop to think what
great benefits are derived from long
strolIs. Walking undoubtedly is the
greatest exercise in the world for the
average person Every muscle Of the
body Is brought into play during swift
walk. If the body is carried in the
way most conducive to comfort during
the strolls, even the internal organs are
benefited The lungs are filed with fresh
air, the heart is given more space in
which to continue its throbbing, and
every other organ is benefited by this
exercise. A l0-mile walk each day in
the open air, and preferably in the SUI
burbs and country, will be of more bene-
fit to the person taking it than a months
treatment in the best Of sanitariums or
health Concord Monitor.

One of the first things that the gen
erai assembly should do upon its re-
turn to Montpelier after the Thanks
giving recess is to amend the bill maxi
ing tie commissioner Of weights and
measures an officer elected by the gen
eral assembly instead Of appointed or
nominated BY the governor. The hint
is out that this was done because Of
the governors action in filling the va
cancy on the public service commission
hy an appointment that some men think
was made simply to pay a political
debt.
However this may be. If the governor
has made mistake. the legislature
is not justified in making one, too,

tinue. The reports concerning the fire
coincide in stating that the building was
itself like finder, because of light con-
struction and that, added to this, the
woodwork was soaked with oil drippings
and the floors were Uttered with waste
materials, making very combustible fuel
once the flames got started. Besides
this, the building seems to have been
poorly provided with exits for the $50
or 200 people who were engaged in work
on the four floors of the factory, the
stairways being too narrow and the fire
escapes not numerous enough to accom-.
modate so many people in a mad rush
for safety, difficulties which even the
close proximity of firemen in a build
ing across the street could not obviate.
OF course, great deal OF the loss of
life was due to the surrender Of self
control by the inmates who, made frantic
by the rapid spread of the flames, dashed
themselves from the windows before the
fremen could spread their nets, but the
sense of fear was probably accentuated
by the knowledge Of the prison nature Of
the building Modern ordinances were
provided to remove the possibilities Of
such catastrophes as this, but they are
useless if not enforced Again, like the
Iroquois theatre fire in Chicago, this
Newark disaster should serve as a warn
ing and an incentive to more strict en-
forcement of city and village ordinances,
including more efficient supervision of
factory buildings and other places where
many people are congregated.

THE HEN DAMAGE.
Suggestion That Hens Be Kept From
Running at Large.

Mr. Editor: In reading the doings of
the city council | notice frequently that
claims are presented for poultry killed
by dogs and that many OF these claims
are allowed
Now | wonder where these hens and
chickens were when attacked by dogs.
Were they in some ones garden or on
their lawn or porch? Or were they
roostng in a. hen house with door open
and no protecting wire?
Surely if they were confined in a
hen house or yard as the city ordinance
declares they shall bel, no dog could
get Ia them, for il is evident that if a
hen house or yard Is so constructed that
dog can get in. hen can readily get
out. Keep hens, so do some Of my
neighbors My hens are safe from dogs
and never have been out of their house
and yard
| notice that one party was fined for
allowing his hens TO run at large and
! am inclined TO think that II prosecu-
tions along this line We're more frequent,
there would Be less claims for damage
from dogs
What Il more annoying than to have
your neighbors' hens on your lawns and
walks, on your piazzas and in your gar
don, when your own hens are safe IN
their own enclosure away from the dogs 2

Mastor Of Vermont Grange Issues State

Mastor Of Vermont Grange Issues State
ment On Income Tax Amendment
The master Of the Vermont state
grange has issued the following circular:
Atlantic City, Nov %, 1910.
Ny Dear Brother and Sister Changers:
learned to-day that nothing was said
in the recommendations OF our grange
legislative committee to our legislature
regarding the constitutional amendment
authorizing the United States govern.
meut to levy a tax on incomes. The
national grange at its 1909 session in
Des Moines passed the following reso-
lution
Income Tax.
Whereas, the national grange has for
many years demanded the passage Of an
income tax law, and
Whereas, Congress has submitted for
the approval Of the different states an
amendment to the constitution Of the
United States for such q tax, therefore
be it
Resolved, by the national grange in
forty third annual session assembled,
That all honorable efforts be made by
the national state oranges to have this
important amendment ratified by the
legislatures Of the different states.
Resolved. That the national grange
favors graduated income tax.
You probably have seen what the ma
tional master said in his annual address
at the present session regarding this
question.
The committee on taxation, Of which
the state master Of Vermont Is chair
man, saysi
"We would urge the grange to get
busy in states in which the legislatures
have not yet taken action on the pend
ing constitutional amendment authoriz-
ing the United States government to
levy tax on incomes.
Believing that our legislature will not
vote upon this important question until
after the Thanksgiving recess, | am
sending this letter to the secretary of
every subordinate grange in our state
aud urge the Importance of sending a
letter, at the earliest possible moment,
bearing the seal of the grange, stating
tie wishes Of your grange on this ques-
ton, which | hope will be favorable. |
believe this is IN the interest OF every
farmer in our state End the letter to
your representative, asking him TO de-
liver it TO the committee having this in
charge.
