Vermont State FaIr Plans.

Preparations for the Vermont state fair
for islQ@at White River junction. are al.
ready under way. The dates selected ape
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, Sept. 20, q, % and 23.
Even this early indications point to a
greater cattle exhibit than has made con.
spicuous previous state fairs. This
year Maine farmers will be represented
With stock exhibits. The Maine exhibit
q oxen alone will be one Of commendahle
size.
Vermont cattle will be extensively
shown, the number Of exhibitors and the
number OF cattle being in excess OF last
years event. Every New England state
will have big cattle showings, as well a.
New York state, Ohio and other western
states and Canada.
The state forestry commission has
planted over an acre OF different varieties
Of pines and by fair time this planting
will be in shape to convince spectators 81
the practical use waste land may be nut
to.
The Boston and Maine railroad has set
out on the grounds nearly four acres Of
different varieties OF apple trees. the idea
being to show that apples can be made a
large product Of the farm when properly
handled.
Arrangements are under way With the
railroad companies for low rates during
the fair week. Every effort will be made
to increase the attendance and the slogan
greatest horse and cattle show in New
England, is the foremost thought Of Pres
icent Eyarts and members of the commits

i is sometimes urged against the trunk
highway idea that the heavy outlay in
yolved would be principally for the bene-
fit OF automobilists, either local or tour

were to neglect her duty through a mere
prejudice Of this kind, she would figure
exceedingly small, even in her own esti-
nation. Another thing-the motor yehi-
cles are paying a large and rapidly in
creasing state revenue, that will amount
this year to probably S25. 900. This i
ordinary annual interest on half a million
dollars. Much Of the money invested in
automobiles paid no local taxes. 50 thar
town grand lists are not suffering il con
sequence. As the motor tax revenues 20
for the permanent benefit Of the high
ways. according TO The letter and spirit Of
The Law, it is proper to ask that special
system Be planned to assure the best re-
snlts, in time, rather than to have the
revenue frittered away, or put in here and
there, without any general scheme in
view.

Egypt He had passed a few days there

most Englishmen, and some Americans,
it was rather presumptuous in him to
undertake to advise Great Britain in her
foreign policy, and even more people
would agree that it was in extremely bad
taste when he was the guest of the Brit
ish and being rendered the honor of the
freedom Of London to comb them out as

have to admit that like all mortals Roose-

Skunk journalism.

The Mead literary bureau Is engaged in
dishing out for publication in some Of its
newspapers a most discreditable class OF
editorials, because they are based on mis-
representation and are calculated to pref
udiee people " no do not know the facts.
Two illustrations: A number of newspa-
pers criticized Mead for sending out
through his literary bureau an abstract OF
a talk delivered By him before a religious
body. The bureau took this as a text
upon which to claim that these newspa-
pers were making light of sacred things
and had leanings toward Ingersoll doc
trlnes. The insinuation was absolutely
false. There has been some deserved
criticism OF letter sent out by Mead to
Grand Army men, many of the names of
veterans being obtained from a state
roster. This bureau has taken up and at
tempted to make the old soldiers believe
that the opposition to Mead is unfriendly
to the g. A. r. and the men who wear
the "little bronze button This was an
other deliberate attempt to excite preju-
dice with the hope that Mead's candidacy
would profit thereby. Certainly a eandi-
date who eountenances such downright
misrepresentation is crying for help the
worst way. In the days before Roosevelt
brought the message OF peace, love and
unity to all men, such stuff as this from
the Mead press bureau would have been
designated as skunk journalism. North

The Versatile Thayer.

The Vergennes Vermonter says that the
choice OF the Republican State conven.
ton will be Mead for governor L. p.
Thayer, manager OF the Vermonter, who
is also understood to be the editor in fact,
is the proprietor and editor Of the Morris
vile Messenger which is supporting
Fleetwood. Mr.. Thayer lives 10 the lat
ter town and divides his time between
the two publications. II may thus be
fairly assumed that Mr.. Thayer is Mead
man that part of the week which he
spends In Vergennes and a Fleetwood
follower when at bis home in Morrisylle.
This is not perhaps quite as bad as being
the supporter OF one or the other all OF

Fatal Accident Al BENNINGTON.

As the result of a collision between a
trolley car and an automobile near the
Vermont Soldiers Home at Bennington
last week Monday evening one man was
killed, another man and three women
were seriously injured.
The dead man is Henry l.. Knapu, 40
years old, a saloon keeper of Bennington
and the injured are: William ID. Newton,
so years old, proprietor OF garage at BEN
nington, badly cut about the head. inter
nal injuries; Kate Mcclure of Benping-
ton, IS years old, two ribs broken. head cut.
internal injuries; Mrs. Kate Knapp Of
Bennington, az years old, one broken rib,
head and face cut; Miss Mary Flatley Of
bennington, p years old, jaw broken,
face cut.
The party left Bennington Monday
morning for Troy, n. Y. On the return
trip the car broke down about five miles
from Bennington, assistance was sum
moned by telephone and Mr.. Newton
went out to take the marooned party
home. As it was raining hard and the
curtains were drawn, it is probable that
Mr.. Newton did not see the approaching
trolley car, which struck the machine
hroadside on a crossing.
The car, which was a new one, was
wrecked and its occupants we're thrown
IN all directions. Mr.. Knapp's skull was
fractured and he died almost instantly.
An ambulance and physicians were
rushed to the scene and the injured peo-
pie were taken to Bennington as quickly
as possible.
The car was 20 minutes late in leaving
Bennington, aud, as the accident oc-
Cured on long level stretch OF track, It
is probable that It Was running rapidly.
After short pause to render first aid to
the injured il proceeded on its way. The
trolley car was uniniured except for
bent fender.

part of the scientific equipment of the
party.
