Daniel Griffin Thrown from West River
B. & M. Bridge This Morning.

Daniel Griffin was struck by southbound
Boston and Maine freight No 70 on West
River bridge about $50 o'clock this morn
ing and was thrown onto the ice about 4C
feet below He was brought to this vii
lage by j. d. Reed of Dummerston, who
was passing. The ambulance met Mr..
Reed opposite the Office of DR.. c. S: Pratt
and the injured man was taken to the Me-
mortal hospital where an examination of
his injuries was made by DR.. Pratt and
DR.. O'Connor. 1t is believed that the
mans pelvis is fractured. The shock sus-
tanned rendered him unconscious, and he
was in that condition when brought to
the hospital. He is also injured internally.
There was bad flesh wound on his face.
Mr.. Griffin was one of the Boston and
Maine bridge construction gang and lives
in Brattleboro. He has been in this coun-
try only few years. The man was at
work on the bridge, and it is claimed
that he was not given an opportunity to
reach a place of safety when the train
passed over the structure.

BOGUS REAL ESTATE AGENT
Arrested at Wilmington for Obtaining
Money Under False Pretenses.

! John LOCKER, who appeared in South
Newfane early the present month repre-
senting himself as an agent of the New
York Real Estate company, was taken
into custody at Wilmington Saturday
charged with obtaining money under false
ipretenses. Pleading not guilty before JUS
tice j. H. Kidder of that town Monday
he was committed to Newfane Jail, being
unable to secure bail in the amount of
$500 The complaint was made by Town
Grand Juror +. A. Jewell of Wilmington.
He was taken to Jail by Constable l.. W.
Boyd The man was taken into custody
after J. E. Smiley, proprietor of the New
fame Inn, made investigation of his busi-
ness having become convinced that there
was something irregular about his meth.
DDS of selling real estate. 1t is understood
some of his patrons, will change his plea
and ask States Attorney Charles H. VIII
liams of Bellows Falls to file an informa-
ton against him and that he will be
brought to Brattleboro tomorrow morning
for sentence in the municipal court by
Judge E. w. Gibson.
1t is alleged that LOCKER visited farm
ers in different towns in this county rep
resenting himself as an agent of the com
pany whose name his business card bore
and solicited sums ranging from S5 to $40
in advance and promised that he would
find purchaser for their property, agree
ing that if purchaser was not found be-
fore June'l he would refund the fee ad-
vanced His business card gave no address
other than New York, and Mr.. Smiley
became convinced that he. was swindler
and notified the authorities in Whining
ton who took him into custody.
For about week he boarded with Ly-
man Powers of South Newfane, but left
about week ago. While he was solicit
ing business in that section he displayed
alluring literature telling of the value of
Vermont farms, and led prospective
clients to believe that their property
would be listed in such an attractive PAM
phlet as he displayed. He is an attractive
young man and easily made friends, and
some days to S35 or $40.

Just a Helping Hand.

From the Baltimore American.
There are SO many persons who need
just a helping hand. They are climbing
lifes ascent with precarious fOotholds.
One strong grip and they are over the
worst places and can make their way.
Widows with young children and little
means, wives with worthless or afflicted
husbands and with growing daughters
and sons to be fed and clothed until
they can care for their own mainte-
nance and provide for the support of
their mothers. How many cases there
are of those, hidden from the sight of
their fellows. not the objects of pro-
fessional charity, who long for help
ing hand. If the story of the little
tenement could ne told it would be the
story Of the daughter going to work in
the factory and laboring to perform a
stated task through ten hours of toll.
1t would be the story of an attempt of
a woman by char duties and the like to
secure support for her little boys and
girls, trusting to neighbOrs and Provi-
dence to guard them while she is away
from home. Why does she not place
the young children in institutions? Be-
cause she prizes their individuality.
She sees in them signs of goodness and
strength, of talent and endeavor; she
wants them to have her holding touch
and to become the pride of her heart.
She will most likely be gratified in the
realization of her hopes If a helping
hand Is to be had. Every hand ex-
tended in seeming aid may not be a
helping hand, and there is required dis
cernment to distinguish between real,
genuine and affected interest.

would none of 1t. They had just elected
Mr.. Carlisle Speaker over Mr. Randall as
an expression Of their opinions and pur-
poses, and they considered Mr. Randall
done for.
But they were mistaken. The Randall
idea of tariff revision was still at work.
and at st. Louis four years later one Of
Mr.. Randalrs tariff pupils. Mr.. German.
appeared with a plank for the platform
hedging on Mr. Cleveland's free trade
message of the year before, and. in ef-
feet, conceding the strength Of the Ran
dali contention. Mr. German was repre-
senting Mr.. Cleveland. but Henry Wat
terson defeated the program and held the
party in the national conventions tarin
deliverance to the Cleveland message.
Mr.. Cleveland was defeated at the polls.
but four years later was returned to Of
flee on another free trade platform. Mr..
Randall meanwhile had died, but his
views were marching on. His pupil, Mr..
German. when tariff revision came up in
the Senate in 1894 stood for protection.
and under his leadership protection tri-
umphed. The bill passed was a botch.
but not because Of protection. The fall
ure grew out of the inability Of the de-
mocracy under a divided leadership to
turn an impossible trick. 1t fell between
two stools.
Democrats in Congress who last year
voted for protection to sugar, or rice. or
lumber, or any other article. because their
constituents demanded it, and they them
selves approved of the policy, followed
the Randall leadership. Mr.. Randall was
protectionist because he had seen the
policy perform great good. not only for
Pennsylvania, but the whole country. and
like the late Mr.. McEnery he had the
courage of his convictions.

Parks and Other Places.

From the New York Tribune.
1t is more than passing strange that
il is so difficult to maintain the per-
fectly sound and simple proposition that
a park is a park and not some other
kind of place. and that 1t is worthy OF
continued existence as park and moth
ing else At various times various well
meaning persons have seemed to suffer
from an obsession to the erect that
Central Park was not park at all. but
was a potential worlds fair ground, or
a racetrack, or military parade
ground, or a site for buildings of divers
sorts: or else that 1t was not worth
keeping as a park. but should be abol-
ished and given over to some of these
other uses. We had hoped that the
present generation had outgrown that
particular form Of civic paranoia, but
it seems that we were too optimistic

a new. subtle and particularly danger

Sixty.Thousand-To Ton Liners.

Announcement is made in London that
work is to begin on the construction OF a
new dock in the Mersey at Liverpool
large enough to accommodate liners oil
$4,000 tons, which are to be built by the
Cunard Company. These vessels will be
about one thousand feet in length and
will be in all proportions the largest
steamships aloat. When put in COM
mission they will call for changes In the
docking facilities at the New York end
of the line, where at present thousand
foot vessel would extend SO far out into
the channel as to impede traffic.
The largest steamers in the world to-
day are the Titanic and Olympic, $50
feet in length and $4,000 tons burden.
The Mauretania and Lusitania. while
faster, are not as large as the Titanic and
Olympic, being 100 feet in length with a
tonnage Of 80, 500. The Hamburg-Ameri-
can line contemplates the construction of
new vessel sixteen feet longer than the
Titanic and of the same tonnage.
Comparisons with the Great Eastern
are inevitable whenever large marine
constructions are under discussion. 1t is
an interesting coincidence that the first
giant Of the seas made its initial appear
ance In New York harbor just nifty years
ago. on the 9th OF June, 1880. She
was $50 feet in length and her tonnage
was $4,000. She was exceeded In length
by the Deutschland by four feet. but the
tonnage of the latter vessel Is only 1880.
The Kaiser Wilhelm III. with . length of
7O6is feet. Is 1900 less in tonnage than
the Great Eastern. The leviathan OF half
a century ago was first definitely exceed

and Lusitania.

Mr.. Randall and Protection.

Speaking OF the late Senator McEnery.
the Philadelphia Record says that he was
"a rice-and-sugar statesman as the late
Samuel j. Randall was IAN iron and-coaI
statesman" To which the New York
Tribune makes reply that the Pennsylva-
mia democracy of to-day would be much
better OF IL it could boast a leader of the
Randall caliber.
Would not the national democracy be
better on II it could boast such q leader ?
What democrat of the past half century

Mr.. Randall? Whose reputation for per-
sonal integrity. personal and political
courage and political sagacity stands

Mr.. Randall was deposed from leader

cause of his tariff views. He was not
opposed to tariff revision. On the con-

A Sane Fourth.

Washington no longer regards 1t as
necessary to turn the national birthday
into a barbaric time of torture in order
to be patriotic" The idea has become
rooted in the public mind that patriot
ism does not call for wanton sacrifices
Of lives and limbs. This community
has paid heavy toll in the past be-
cause of it's adherence to a senseless
system of so-called celebration. and
now has definitely decided to regard the
day with greater reverence and to pro-
tect its members more securely from
death and disablement.
The Fourth of July is no less fully
recognized as an occasion Of national
significance because the air is not filed
with the stencil of burning powder and
rent with the sounds of explosions. This
is NO less the national birthday and
the people are no less appreciative of
its significance because the hospitals
are not crowded with dishgured and
dying patients 1t is indeed more truly
celebrated" because of the lack of the
features which in former times passed
fer public exultation. but which were
In truth merely selfish indulgences in
barbaric pleasures.
II seems impossible ever to return to
the old method Of marking this day.
This is the third year that the Fourth
has been honored in truth by the re-
striction of powder-burning and noise
making. Last year not single accident
was reported. 1t is the hope that this
year similar Immunity from the old-time
patriotic price of Independence day OBJ
servance will be enjoyed. Other cities
are following in this same line and are
acquiring the habit of respectful indie
pendence day observance 1t is to be be-
heved that in a few years the former
intimate association of the Fourth of
July and disaster will have passed and
the day will be in fact an occasion of
public rejoicing instead of time of ter

To make this reform permanent it is
necessary for all citizens to cooperate

In the Roosevelt days there were

republicans. They did not gee" with

though differing widely on certain
national policies. they benefit by dis

Their reception was all they desired.
and they feel themselves braced for re-
newed efforts along the lines of their
recent activities.
Now does this argue that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt are really at logger
heads, and that we shall soon see them
estranged and working at cross pur-
poses? BY no means. Mr.. Taft inherit
ed Mr.. Roosevelts public policies. but
not his personal feelings toward public

up any personal differences that may
have developed between Mr.. Taft and
men in office, republicans or democrats.

There will be guests at Beverly who

probably see the man of Beverly find
his way to Oyster Bay. The two men
at the top are not at war with each
other.
