Pleased "Third House"

The corporations have not strong
grasp in the Vermont legislature
when the people care to assert them
selves. Barre Times.
No, they haven't. But sometimes
after the people have asserted them
selves; after they have caused both
great political parties to declare for
the submission of the time-lock
amendment of the constitution to
popular vote for instance after cam
paigners on the stump AID editors in
the press all over the state practi-
cally without dissent, have unequivo-
cally voiced public sentiment as IA
voring such an amendment-then ten
men stand M in the senate and say
No" And then, too, certain corpor-
alton influences much in evidence at
the capital in these days do not even
pretend to conceal their satisfaction.
Why? WHY should this particular
and peculiar defiance of public senti-
ment by these ten senators please the
corporation third house?"-St. AL

If, in the proposed legislation to
permit the use of steam locomotives
on trolley lines. the necessary steps
have not been taken to meet the pro
visions of the constitution, no obiec-
ton can be made to the man
ner in which it has been
treated by the governor and
has been treated by the governor and
the legislature. If, on the other hand
the legislation should fail entirely and
it should be found out in the future
that the failure were due to the ac-
tivity in the legislature of opposing
railroad interests the people in this
vicinity will have a grudge against
somebody which will take them a
long time to forget. 1t is an absol-
ute impossibility to give any section
of Vermont too much railroad service.
The natural conditions are such, the
mountainous country and limited re-
sources, as to preclude the building
of single mile more of track than
is necessary. A direct connection
with the great Boston and Maine sys-
tenn means much for Bennington and
the immediate vicinity as it is not
likely that the village will become a
station on a main line for many years
to come.

Phelps Is Trapped When He
BegS Farmer For Water
CAPTURED BY GAME WARDEN

Says He Tried to Surrender to Two
MiIitiamen and Had Called to Pur-
suers During Man Hunt-kiIIing of
Sheriff Was Not Intentional, Ac-
%cording to His Story-Does Not APP
pear to Take Arrest Seriously
Monroe Bridge, Mass, June 16.-
Declaring that he had been trying to
surrender since Tuesday afternoon,
Silas N. Phelps, slayer of Deputy
Sheriff Emmett +. Haskins of Charlie
mont, is locked up in the Franklin
county Jail.
His capture yesterday afternoon
near the Plumb place closed the man
hunt on the Monroe mountain that be-
gan Sunday.
Phelps says that he scared two
militiamen by coming upon them sud-
denly recently. Before he could offer
himself for capture they took to their
heels. frequently during the hunt
for him he had called to his pursuers,
but they paid no attention to him.
Phelps capture was due to the
bravery of Dennis F. Shea, a fish and
game warden employed by the state.
AS a reward for his nerve. Shea viii
get the $500 offered for the capture
of Phelps by the selectmen of
Charlemont.
Charles Thompson accompanied
Shea into the thicket where Phelps
was lying in hiding, and stood ready
to shoot Phelps if Shea could not sub
due him.
Phelps had lost his nerve, and
through unexplainable foolhardiness
caused his own arrest. After four
days and three nights in the woods,
without food and water and aware of
the armed men surrounding him,
Phelps gave thirst and hunger as his
reason for s~urrendering.
Phelps took his arrest as a boy
would who had been caught playing
truant from school, and began Joking
his captors on the way he had out
witted them. The only time he showed
any feeling was when, after he had
been fed and given water, he asked
to see his family.
His request was granted, and those
who saw the parting between the man
and his faithful wife and children shed
tears.
AS he was being led out of the
>thicket Phelps said that he had no in
tention Of killing Sheriff Haskins when
he shot at him Saturday night. He
said he would not have done it for a
thousand dollars, If Haskins had not
pulled a gun on him.
Later he said his finger was on tht
hair trigger Of his shotgun and, wher
he lodged to escape the bullet he ex
pected from Haskins' revolver, hi:

 "Never have l seen anything like it" he said. we Japanese have always thought ourselves nimble with our fingers and with our wits, but we are still plod- ding in OK carts whileyou Amer jeans are riding in aeropfanes. Your way of doing business is like race in which all pass the goal at the same second. What becomes of the laggards? Do they crawl into the bushes and die?
 "There is no need for the Americans to be jealous of the Japanese commercially. The Japanese merchant can never catch up with the Americans. In matters of finance it seems to me that you have nothing to fear from any nation in the world.
 Japanese feeling toward America Is almost affectionate. War will never come unless America startS it,"

 The convention must have been pressed for time or it would have included in it's platform an endorsement of Bryan for the presidency, the old Greenback theory of every man his own money maker, the sub treasury scheme, the abolition of national banks, the Jim Crow car, and a few others.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured


 by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness and that. is by constitutional rem edies. Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucuous lin ing of the Estachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflmatiOn can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. NiEe cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucuOus surfaces.
