One thing is certain and that is the Re-
publicans of Vermont fight their battles
with each other before the nomina-
lions are made. When that is done all
line up as they should for the success of
the ticket the majority has placed in nom
ination. There is unanimity all around
and the ticket gets a good majority in
September. That is the reason Vermont
is 'rock-ribbed Republican" AS with the
rank and file of the party, so with the
press The papers may not agree before
the convention as to who are the best men
for Office, but after it is decided in conven
ton the result is accepted and the ticket
gets the united support of the press.

The Democrats, it is said, will nomi-

Governor. To be sure Mr.. Watson will
not be elected, but he will poll a good

in the recent legislature. The Democracy
will gain great credit for itself should it
select Mr.. Watson.

VETERAN RIVER PILOT AT REST
Landed First Passenger ON the Site
of Omaha.

81 LOUIS INepuDilC.
In 1904, when Lewis and Clark went up
the Missouri river, they passed in sight Of
a settlers cabin on the bank Of the stream,
in what is now Franklin county. Missouri,
and the settler and his wife looked out with
eager curiosity as they went by. The set
tier was the father of Captain william
r. Massie. dean Of western river pilots,
who died at st, .Luke's hospital on satur-
day. So short Is the history Of the great
west.
The captain was born in 1929, just ten
years after the first steamboat went up the
Missouri. His father kept a wood yard"
and as a small boy he became expert in
handling '.woOd-fIats'' ~(barges which tied
up to passing steamers while the roust-
abouts unloaded the. fuel they carried) in
the swift current. While still a mere lad
he became a pilot, and his eightieth sum
mer found him still at the wheel. He had
followed his chosen calling for almost
sixty-fNe years. To the last his memory
was, accurate and his interest in western
rivers and their history undated.
Captain Massie's service took him into
all western waters; the Mississippi, the
Tennessee, the Red, the Ouachita. the
Atchafalaya. But the Missouri was his

Whether the meat boycott can be eff
