"ASHAMEh."

No wonder the Democrats al Norton
rose and marched through the streets
triumphant and cheering. No wonder
that the Republicans at Taxewsll ye.-
terdAy were dispirited and lacked on
thusiasm. The Democrats and all the
supporters Of Henry Stuart in the fight
In the Ninth district know they have
conducted their canvass like Virrinians
and gentlemen. Their consciences are
clear: They know they have made no
mean and low attasks on the psraonal
character of the opposing candidate for
congress-. They have not circulated
any small, slanderous attacks on him.
= They have not busted themselves mt
ting from mouth 10 mouth and emnlox-
ing peddlars of scandal to whisper into
the ears of ignorance. They have bat
tied like men. They have struck Mr..
Slemp on his public, open record and
utterances. Thoy have met the issues
that were made.
1.-The Republicans cannot saw the
same. They are convicted of PLAYING
dirty politica- They have done it in
public speeches and in private work.
Some OF them seem TO know nothing
else. They insult the people. Their
methods are too low to please any but
the most viciously low and too CHEAP
and transparent to deceive even the
most ignorant"
The above, the head Ashamed" and
all, is taken from the Roanoke Times
of the 18th instant. 1t is a malignant
and vicious slandOr of the Republicans
OF the Ninth district, and is in line with
the methods that the Times has en-
ployed ever since the present campaign
was begun. The Republicans have
noticed no issues in the campaign that
have not been projected by Mr.. Stu
arts supporters and newspapers. When
the Democratic issues, such as ''The
Great Trunk Issue" and the ''Tenantrv
Issue" were projected and the Repub-
licans made illusions to them the Roa-
noks Times and the Stuart leaders, with
an assumption Of superiority, insisted
that it was not permissible to talk about
them. The Republicans Of this district
are as much entitled to exercise their
rights as freemen as any other Ameri- /
can citizens. Freedom of thought, free
dom of speech and freedom of action
belong to them as much as they do to
MIR. Stuart or any of his presumptious
followers. The Times further says:
THAT is why the Republicans are
ashamed and depressed In the mind of
'very VirgInian there is an instinct for
;hivalry and fair play and decency and
manhood. They know their Ieaders
rave conducted and are conducting a
ow campaign, catering carefully to the 4

lowest impulses they believe to exist
among the people"
Thsse assertions OF the Tmes are
absolutely untrue. But il they were
true, the Times. the Virginia Democra-
cy and Mr.. stusr. are not qualified TO
sit in Judgment and pass condemna ton.
The entire Virginia Democracy has been
tainted with the lowest and dirtiest
election methods tina: have ever been
prscticed in this country. Two wears
ago, IN cOnscience-stricken moment.
the editor-in-chief of the Roanoke Times
then editor of the Richmond News
Leader, made a confession as to the
disgrsceful methods of the Virginis De.
mocraey. And herS is a small portion
of that confession:
Perjury. When q man takes an
oath to conduct an election fairly and
then conducts that election unfairly he
is guilty of fraud.
The great body Of respectable men
among US shuddered and shrsnk at the
idea Of committing perjury personally.
We knew dirty work had to be done but
our instincts rshslled at doing it our
selves. We did not care about putting
our OWE personal Anglers into avsry
nasty mess. Therefore, We hired or,
melted what the Farmvills Herald so
glesfully calls the boys We took
reckless young country fsllows, or bro
ken Gown men with no character to
lose, or coarse ward and precinct work
ers eager for jobs, and let them do the
perjury, the stealing and the sluEging
for US. We created and hired our r.s-
Gals.
Every election we developed a nav
stock otperjurers and bulldoxers. W.
took ignorant or reckless men and train
ed them to perjury, made them our en-
ployed thugs. We taught them how
to steal ballots, to obstruet voters, to
forge poll lists, to alter returns, to play
tricks OF low cunning. We laughed and
appiauded secretly and joined our mis-
cradle tools In their lies by lying for
them, defending them in courts, cover
ing up their ofenses, accepting the re-
suits Of their work"
So. 1.-THE great body of respectable
men" in the Democratic party "shud-
dersd and shrank" from doing such
criminal, dirty work, from putting
our own personal fingers in the nasty
mess" but I'VE" hired poor, ignorant.
disreputable fellows to lie, to steal. to
forge and do the smuggling. And then
I'VE joined our miserable tools in their
lies by lying for them, defending them
IN the courts, covering up THAR Of
lenses, accepting the rsaults of their
work"
"Wel" Who are "we?'' ''Ths great |
body Of respectable mon" in the Virgin
la Democracy. Did that ineluds the
now editor of the Roanoke Times and
Mr.. Stuartf Is the assassin any worse
than the man who hires him to do the
murder? Is the thief any meaner than
the receiver of stolen goods, the one
who accepts and appropriatez the re-
sllts?

BODY MISSING FOR
MORE THAN TWO
YEARS
Walden Farmer Disappeared In
August, 1907
AY ON SHELF OF'HIGh CLIFF
Had Brooded Long Over Death OF
Daughter and May Have Com
mitted Suicide

Walden. April A mystery OF
long standing was partially solved
yesterdaysby the finding Of the body
of Byron Davis, who disappeared two
years ago last August It was found
on high shelving cliff on the farm
Of Orange Scott near Walden -Four
corners by Harley Pearson and b.
f. Ainsworth, who notified the town
authorities After viewing 1t the
authorities took charge Of the body.
1t is expected that an autopsy will
be he'd, although the remains were in
such condition that it probably will
be impossible to determine the cause
OF death.
Byron Davis was one of the most
prosperous farmers in town. He left
home at about five O'Clock one after
noon in August, 1907 When he failed
to- return in reasonable time a
search was instituted, which lasted
three days.
Mr.. Davis was about IS years of
age and leaves a wife and several
children. Shortly before his disap-
peafance occurred the death OF a
daughter, over which he bNsadees Z
great deal. This fact has prompted
an opinion that he may have ended
his own life in a fit of temporary in
sanity. II is understood, however.
THAT the State department may take
up the matter in view Of possibili-
| ty of foul play.

GRAND OPERA ARTISTS
Hammersteln Company at Opera
House Wednesday Evening

Oscar Hammersteln will send a
galaxy of grand opera artists here
on Wednesday evening in a program
made up of arias, duets, trlos and
scenes from the most popular French
and Italian grand operas. Nine. Car
men-Melis, soprano, is the prima
donna who win sing here and Orville
Harold is also on the program.
Among the other names on the pro
gram are those of Nine WalterVilla,
Mile. Berthe Soyer, Nine Georges
Lucas, Mile G. Vivarino, NJ. George
Villa and .Constantin Nicholay and
M. Carlo Nicosia.
The closing OF the season in Bos-
ton one week earlier by the Manhat-
tan Opera company gave an opportu-
nifty for few concerts by these fam
GUS artists, all of whom are great
singers among the greatest in the
world today.
New York thought Carmen-Melis
was the greatest ever" when she
made her initial appearance in "Tos-
ca" The New York Times publish
ed the following criticism of her
work:
"Undeniably the most faithful and
vivid operate impersonation of 'Tos-
ca was afforded one of the greatest
audiences OF the season at the Man
haitian opera house when Carmen
Melis an Italian dramatic soprano,
made her initial appearance in New
York as the heroine OF the Puccini
music drama of that name. In his
trionic stature and musical outline,
the Tosca of Nine Melis proved to be
2 Characterization of wondrous po-
tentiality. The voice of the new
conner, whose stage experience has
been gained in the continental thea
tres and whose work is as well
known in Warsaw and in the Scan
dinayian capitals as in the great OPP
cratic eenters of Italy. is Of essen
TALLY feminine quality. of extensive
range and much yibrancy. The Prov
ess Of her lyric art was demonstrated
in her singing of the second act aria
"Viss d'Arte,' the final accents OF
which were uttered with infinite feel
ing and pathos. Without detailing
the manifold beauties of her dramat-
ic study, it shall suffice to state that
she accomplished scenes of moving
intensity in the second and last acts,
and her cautious, affrighted approach
of the bullet-tOrn corpse OF Cavara-
dossi. at the conclusion of the opera,
was superbly carried. Before all
else, the Tosca OF Nine Melis is
womanly--and in fact is none the
less magnificent

THE SHIELDS LECTURE
Should Be Heard by Every One Who
Loves Out Of Door Life

One of the most interesting events
in the amusement line for the season
is promised for next Friday evening,
April g. when G. o. Shields of New
York delivers his lecture at the Y.
NJ. c. A. gymnasium.
Secretary Goebel felt that in Mr..
Shields lecture he had secured such
an attraction OF merit that he Undue
ed the lecturer to change the date
of his appearance from Wednesday
evening to Friday in order that no
other entertainment might interfere
with the event AS one prominent
Bennington man said to Mr.. Goebel:
There is not man, woman or child
in this section who is fond of hunting
fishing. nature study or visiting the
woods who can afford to miss hear
ing Mr.. Shields He is man with
a message, He has some beautiful
views of birds and wild animals Ia
ken right in their native haunts, and
these views are OF great assistance
TO Mr.. Shields in illustrating and
driving home his arguments in favor
of preserving the harmless and beau.
tiful creatures OF our mountains and
fields. We have never had anything
like this lecture in Bennington be-
fore and | hope Mr. Shields will find
the Y. NJ. c. A. hall too small to hold
his audience"
G. o. Shields is a great author
hunter and naturalist He is editor
of Shields Magazine and president
of the League of American Sports
men, the latter one of the greatest
organizations Of its kind in this
country. For many years Mr..
Shields has devoted the best part Of
his life to the cause OF game and
fish protection and in educating the
American public TO needs of conser-
wing our birds and wild animals be-
fore they follow in the wake of the
buffalo and become extinct.
Secretary Goebel has gone to CON
siderable pains and expense to Sc
cure Mr.. Shields and It is hoped that
every available seat at the Y. NJ. c..
A. will be taken next Friday even

TALK ON ITALIAN ART
Miss Collins Read interesting Paper
Before FortnIahtlY

Raphael" was the subject of the
paper read by Miss Sophronia Collins
before the Fortnightly club Saturday
afternoon. The afternoon was in
charge OF the committee on Italian
art With Miss Collins, chairman.
Such broad subject Miss Collins
stated was difncult to cover not
alone in one afternoon but in many.
Notwithstanding this fact, Miss Col
Inns dealt with the life and works of
the great painter in a very charming
manner and by her vivid descriptions
aided by reproductions, brought the
works Of Raphael before the minds
of her listeners in very real way.
Miss Collins perfect familiarity with
the pictures and her knowledge of
the subject made her talk especially
interesting. She is especially well
fitted, not only because of her ex-
tensive study but because of her trav-
els in Italy, to deal with such subject
To Miss Collins, the subject has an
absorbing interest and by her intel
Iigent manner Of presenting it she
revealed to the minds of her hearers
very real idea of the treasures to
be found in the study and works of
such great artist as Raphael.
The annual meeting of the club
will be held April 8 when the officers
for the ensuing year will be elected.
The nominating committee which
was appointed Saturday consists OF
Mrs. G.. p. Endress, chairman, Miss
Edith Dewey and Mrs. e. ID. Hart.
The club has presented a picture
of Niagara Falls to the rural schools
of Bennington and it is to be placed
for a term in the Cobblestone school
house. 1t will later be transferred
to the other schools of the town.
