Kicking Over Presidents
Definition Of Whiskey.
Suspension Of His Decision
Is Being Considered.
Figures on the Enormous Bust

Washington, July 1S.-1he applica-
ton Of the supposedly final ruling of
President Taft on what constitutes
Whiskey may be suspended for some
time as the result of the restraining
order issued by Louisiana courts act
ing on q petition of representatives of
the so-called Whiskey Trust.
The Whiskey interests contend that
the government has no right to dictate
that whiskey shall be made only from
the grain; that the treasury depart
ment discrmnateS in its rulings and
that there is no reason why WhiSkey
made from sawduSt, potatoe parings
or any other such material should not
be in the same taxable status as whis-
key from grain.
Commissioner Cabell called on the
department of justice today for de-
ciSion as to whether the treasury de-
partment shall be directed to suspend
universally the enforcement of Pres
ident Tafts decision pending the dis
position of the test case. The depart
nent will refer the matter to special
counsel as to what understanding
there might have been between the
government authority and counsel and
the counsel for the whiskey interests
Originally anyone could liable an al
coholic beverage as they saw fit. Pres
ident Roosevelt limited the use of the
word whiskey practically to straight
whiskey President Taft extended this
definition to all grain distillate. Now
the molassas and whiskey interests
want to extend the definition in the
nearing of the internal revenue tax
requirements, to embrace all Whiskey.

CENTRAL VERMONT JOINS.

St. Adams, Vt, July 1S.--Three hun
dred and fifty conductors. brakemen
and sWitchmen employed on the Cen
trail Vermont system went on strike
at $50 O'Clock tonight. Precisely at
that hour all work on the system ceased
and all trains with exception of the
through passenger trains which had
lett their starting points stopped. The
crews on the through trains will stick
to their pests until the trains reach
their destination and then quit.
Soventy-five men are employed in the
yards here and all left their posts at
$50 Three hundred and fifty others
employed in the car and machine snops
will be forced out of work by noon to-
morrow if the strike continues, for
these shops will be closed down by the
railroad.
At White River Junction there was
but one train due to leave after the
strike had been declared. That is a
nolthhCund train which is due To
leave at a. NJ. Officials of the road
are on hand and if necessary Noluf-
teer crew will be made up from among
their number and the train run as US
ual.
l. @. Adams, station agent at Burning
ton, VT, was compelled to act in the ca
pacity of conductor brakeman and bag
gasemaster on the shuttle train winch
left Burlington for Essex Junction at IL
o'clock He made the round trip with
out difficulty.
AS vet the road has experienced little
trouble, but the real situation will be fac
ed in the morning when the time arrives
for the making up of the morning trains
at the different terminal points.
Thus far no violence has been report
ed. the men leaving their places quietly
and in good order. and while crowds con-
gregated about the depots in the city.
along the line there was little demonstra-
ton for there were few trains after the
hour when the strike was declared.
In order to be prepared for any possible
outbreak large number of men will be
sworn in as deputy sheriffs tomorrow
morning. 1t is possible that the men who
will be thrown out of employment by the
closing of the car shops here may be
utilized in that capacity by the road.

Speaking of Superintendent Mason
S. stones campaign for a more pro
gressive Vermont the Vergennes En-
terprise says Superintendent Stone
continues to struggle along with his
campaign of education under great
difficulties. His service in this line
of work is only half appreciated at
present, but some future legislature
will recognize the great value of such
a campaign and make suitable provis-
ions for a more extensive improve
ment along this same line" II may
be that Superintendent Stones good
towns he visits are appreciatiye to an
legislature, but the people of the
towns he visits are appreviative to an
unexpected degree. His meetings are
always we'll attended, and the interest
shown in a sober discussion of the
needs and advantages of Vermont is
remarkable. BY the iudicious hand
ling of a very limited allowance SUI
perintendent Stone is able to reach a
few thousand Vermonters annually
with the gospel of progress and up
life. The seeds sown by the wayside
are sure to take root and bear fruit
of the right sort.-Bellows Falls

rhe eubernatorIaI campaIan

The uniformity with which the diff
ferent Mead papers throughout Yer
mont have come out during the past
week with the statement that DR..
Mead is sure of winning the contest
warrants suspicion that the breth-
rem have had instructions from some
central source to issue band wagon
appeal to the voters Of Vermont. The
purpose evidently is to hold the old
force together and attract If possible
new recruits who always like to go
move is yet to be seen, because as far
as we have been able to see Dr. Mead
Is not gaining strength, but has lost
the support of some newspapers and
has certainly got to meet new opposi-
tion in territory where he claimed to
have II all We also hear that he
cannot by any means secure a solid
delegation from his own county. If
the early claims of the Mead forces
that they had the south end of the
state were true it is certain that the
appearance of J. K. Batchelder Of Ar
lington as candidate must decrease
the Doctors strength very materially
because 1t is admitted by all that Mr..
Batchelder will be very strong in that
section.
In the case Of Mr.. Fleetwood 1t is
evident he is gaining strength. From
every part Of the state this is admit
ted and some newspapers that were
not for him at first are now giving
him hearty support. His appearance
in many different towns recently and
his bold unequivocal stand on the is
sues before the people are winning
him new strength. In meeting the Is
sues squarely he presents strong
contrast to the doctor, who so far as
known, has not taken a definite stand
on any question that has been put to
him. So we believe the attempt to
represent Mr. Mead as sure OF Victory
is only an attempt on the part of his
managers to whistle and keep up
their courage.--St Johnsbury Caledon-
ian.

Artificial sentIment.

There is no good reason to suppose
that the Banner has not accurately
sized up the situation in the south
western section of the state and the
Standard believes that the same
condition obtains in the northwestern
part. The position of Mr.. Fleetwood,
in conducting his champaign wholly
within the letter and spirit of the
law, without publicity bureau, cam
paign manager or hired attorneys,
commends itself to the people, when
compared with the elaborate machi-
merry employed by DR.. Mead to create
a public sentiment in his favor. This
entirely artificial sentiment is certain
to disintegrate as public opinion
makes itself felt.-Enosburg Stand
