An Arithmetic Lesson.
Isl Alhans Messenger !

Rather curious reports come up from
Brattlcboro rs to what Col kittredge
Haskins said publicly on recent oc.
easion during the political campaign that
closed with Tuesdays election.
The Reformer for instance. reports him
rs declaring that he believed Doctor
Mead's campaign expenses were about
one.tith those Of two years ago and less
than onetenth OF what was spent four
years ago.
These are the first figures We have had
from Doctor Mead's camp. They are late,
but are illuminating-ve They dis
play an intimate acquaintance with the
financing of Vermont political candidates
in recent years that assigns the genial
colonel TO front seat in the machine
bandwagon at once. These figures would
also give the Delphic oracle cards and
spades and then win the blue ribbon
for hcidity hands down.
Now let us see il the colonel has for
gotten his arithmetic. Go 10 the black.
board, Colonel and show us the answer
to this problem:
II candidate in 1910 spent one-ffth
as much money a. a candidate IN 1905,
and one-tenth n much money as a candi-
date in 1906, how much did the candi-
date in 1910 spend, and why does he
refuse TO tell the answer HIMSELF Re.
duce one-tenth to dollars asd cents and
promises. and explain to the class why 1t
takes Doctor Mead 80 long to say a
small sum OF money.

The First Vermont.
tSt. Adams Messenger.

81. AlDdnS MeSSeIReI.)
1t is encouraging to learn of the splen
did part the Vermont militia played in
the army manouvers at Pine Camp under
the command of Col j. Gray Estey, be-
cause it means that the First Regiment
is steadily acquiring first class efficiency
in the practical knowledge Of arms under
the patient efforts of this excellent
officer. Perhaps few people in the state
realize at what sacrifice Colonel Estey,
with his pressing business affairs, re-
tains command of the regiment after a
long service with it in peace and in war.
But he is giving the best that is in him
equal of the best volunteer soldiers and
to prevent for this generation, at least,
the humiliating experiences that befell
the regiment in the War with Spain be-
cause a mistaken state policy had not
prepared it for actual service.

Evidence Of Prosperity.

The savings banks and trust companies
continue to reflect the prosperity of the
state OF Vermont, the deposits gain dur
ing the past year being the largest with
a single exception in the history of the
state, as commissioner Williams tells us
in his biennial report. There seems now
to be nothing to stand in the way Of con-
tinued prosperity. The best feature
about the gain OF last year was the in
crease in individual depositors by nearly
four thousand people

The result of New Hampshire's first d.
rect primary election Tuesday was a
splendid victory for the reform wing Of
the republican party in that state
Though opposed by majority of the
New Hampshire newspapers and prac-
tically all OF its professional politicians
Robert p Bass of Peterboro appealed to
the people on the issue of railroad and
corporate domination and was nominated
by good majority over Col. Bertram
Ellis of Keene The latter is an able
man, but his candidacy suffered from the
fact that it had received the official o. X.
of United States Senator Gallinger and
was known to be favorable to the railroad
interests. Without the direct primary,
however, there is little likelihood that
Bass would have met with any more
success than did New Hampshire's re-
form candidates of two and four years
ago. and this fact clearly illustrates why
the direct primary idea is SO distasteful
to those whose belief in popular govern
ment is merely theoretical. The bosses
and their heelers who thrive under the
convention system find no soft berths
for themselves in the scheme of things
which the primary election brings about
New Hampshire's first experience with
the direct primary ought to stimulate
Vermont's interest in the idea. No mat
ter what criticism may be made of it's
.,I,,,. -
away from the fact that it registers the
voice of the people more accurately than
any other elective system.

j. Gilbert Stafford may well feel proud
of his victory IN the local town repre-
sentative fight. Although his majority
was unusually small it was secured in the
face of heavy odds. Much of Mr.. Stat
ford's opposition was due less to lack of
faith in his ability than to disgust with
the political activity of few who chose
to make him their candidate He won
in spite of this support and can go to
Montpelier free from political debts. At
the outset of his campaign Mr.. Stafford
himself declared in favor Of clean methods,
and with the possibility of defeat con-
fronting him he would not consent to the
use of a single conveyance to procure
votes in his behalf. His triumph is
rebuke to corrupt practices of the past
almost as great a rebuke as would be
a comparison of his campaign expendi-
lures with those of some other years.
The Reformer knows that j. G. Stafford
is thoroughly conscientious; it feels GER
tain that he will do his utmost to fairly
represent Brattleboro's best interests in
the general assembly of 1910.

that Governor-elect Mead will be better
