DRY FOR FIFTY YEARS

The village of Hudson, Ohio, on
Monday last, voted to remain
dry" for fifty years, in order to
obtain a water works plant, cleo
trio light and sewage system and
kindred improvements.
James W. Ellsworth, native of
Hudson, but now q millionaire
resident Of New Xork, offered the
village the advantages named if it
would vote dry" and stay 80 for
fifty years; paint its houses white
with green blinds and put on red
tile roofs; grow hedges to replace
the popular picket fences; plant
shade trees and clean up.
The money spent for liquor in a
town Of 5000 population in fifty
years would do much more than is
promised by this millionaire.

Dustless Highways.

The permanent highways being built
in Fair Haven are admitted by all to be
a great improvement upon the kind
that were built by the grandfathers and
great grandfathers but when it comes
to the matter of dust it is a mooted
question whether there has been any
thing gained by the change from dirt to
macadam.
The stone used for topping the roads
in and about this village when pulver-
lied by the attrition to which it is sub
jected is as fine substance as it is pos
sible to produce and the least bit of
friction stirs it into cloud of dust that
penetrates everywhere and makes life
anything but pleasure to those who
are obliged to be upon the busy streets
of the town.
Just how to overcome the nuisance
for it is a nuisance, is the problem
that now confronts the business mems
association. Fair Haven Era.

MANS BODY is FOUND.
Prosperous Walden Farmer Dis
appeared in AUGUST, 1907.

A mystery of long standing was par
italy solved late Sunday afternoon by
the finding of the body of Byron Davis,
who disappeared two years ago last Au-
gust. 1t was found on high shelving
cliff on the farm of Orange Scott near
Walden -Four corners by Harley Pearson
and b. +. Ainsworth, who notified the
town authorities. After viewing it the
authorities took charge of the body.
The remains were in such condition that
1t probably will be impossible to deter
NINE the cause of death.
Byron Davis was one of the most pros
porous farmers in town. He left home
at abouC five o'clock one afternoon in
August, 1907. When he failed to return
in reasonable time a search was insti-
tuted which lasted three days.
Mr.. Davis was about IS years of age
and leaves a wife and several children.
Shortly before his disappearance occur
red the death of a daughter, over which
he brooded great deal. This fact has
prompted an opinion that he may have
ended his own life in fit of temporary
insanity. 1t is understood, however,
that the State department may take up
the matter in view of a possibility of
foul play.

AUTO KILLS LAD.
Touring Car Turns Turtle and
brushes Arthur Gallant.

Providence, March %. Arthur Gal
liant of Pawtucket, a young student at
LaSalle Academy here, was instantly
killed this afternoon when a big tour
ing car he was driving turned bottom
up. His neck was broken and his chest
crushed in; and when the machine was
lifted from him he was found bowed
over the steering wheel, from which he
had been unable to move before the car
turned turtle.
Gallant's companion, schoolboy
chum, w. j. McDevitt, had a narrow
escape from death. He leaped to safety
just as the car capsized after running
wild for about 80 feet.
The accident was caused by young
Gallant's attempt to turn the machine
from the car tracks in which he had
been driving. 1t skidded and he lost
control of it.
The automobile was owned by McDev-
tits father, and Gallant was an mex
perienced driver. Boston Journal.

lures of the United States?
For the fiscal year 1909 the ordinary
income of the United States was 1904,
600, 000 OF that sum $423, 600, 600, or
70 per cent, was spent for past wars
and preparations for war, leaving for
all other purposes S1S1 900, 600, or only
80 per cent.
For the eight years preceding the war
with Spain-fr from 1890 to 1S9S-th
average annual cost of the army and
navy was SOL, 500, 600. For the eight
years since the war with Spain from
1902 to 1910 the average annual cost
of the army and navy has been $685.
400 600, Comparing the two periods,
the average yearly increase has been
$134, 600, 600, total increase in military
expenditures in eight years of 81, O72,
600, 600, or $50 per cent.
This eight year increase of S1,O72, r.
600, 600 in preparations for war means
$50 for every family in the Uuited
States. 1t is equivalent to laying a
yearly tax of Ia per cent on the
total wages paid in the United States,
on the average basis of $500 in wages
to the family.
The cost of two such 26, 600 ton Dread
noughts as Mr.. Foss demands for the i'm
mediate salvation of this country is
only 81, 900, 900 less than that of max
ing the proposed six-foot CHANNEL in the
Mississippi from st. Pael to the mouth
of the Missouri.
Not common sense but only frenzied
militarism can account for this unecon-
nomical, unproductive and unenlighten-

Statement of Expenses.

There appears to be no cogent rea-
son why the candidates for nomination
for Governor and the various other
State officers should not file and make
public, prior to the nominating conven-
ton, detailed statement of the money
they have expended in their canvass.
In other States there are laws requiring
such publicity. In Vermont it would
be very commendable act on the
part of all the contestants to volunteer
such publicity. The people are really
entitled to the information, but they
should have it before, and not after,
the nominating conventions. Rutland

DR.. John A. Mead has committed pol
itical hari-kari or we miss our first
guess. There was an inexcusable delay
in answering Mr. Hapgoods letter. In
fact Mr.. Hapgood had to prod him a
second time to get a response. DR..
Mead is unquestionably a man of quick
decision in business matters. If Mr..
Hapgood had been a prospective Gus
toner negotiating for carload of scales
it would not have taken II days to get a
reply back to Peru from Rutland DIR.
Mead wavered and finally made fatal
mistake. Instead of meeting the issue
fairly and squarely he ducked. The
public has right to know what a can
didate spends in securing nomination
for office, especially the highest Office in
the gift of the people of a state. In
fact many of the states require sworn
statements of expense from the candi-
dates for all important offices. In his
clumsily constructed reply DR.. Mead
declines to join with Mr.. Hapgood and
Mr.. Fleetwood in taking the public into
their confidence, and he uses consider
able verbiage which means little. In
fact, his reply is one of those letters in
which language is used to conceal
thought With his pen DR.. Mead has
shattered a politicians biggest asset,
the confidence of the people. Brattle-
boro Phoenix.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1910-04-08

There is certainly no good reason for
the evasive answer the eminent DR..
Mead of Rutland made to NJ. J. Hap
goods proposition that all candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination file a
sworn statement of their campaign eX-
penses after the state convention.
And the most serious feature of this
action is the doctors apparent willing
ness to stand the consequences. When
a candidate for the governorship refuses
by evasion or otherwise to make such a
statement it shows either that he has
already spent more money than he
thinks the people would consider legiti-
mate or that he is so sure of the nomi-
nation that he feels safe in telling the
people it's none of their business how
much it cost. Heretofore The Reform
err has not opposed DR.. Mead's candi-
dacy, but it will go on record now as
being unwilling to support any guber-
material candidate who is not willing to
come out squarely in matter of such
Importance as this. Brattleboro Re
former.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1910-04-08

paying his own expenses to make John
A. Mead governor, is possible but it
will take a tremendous amount of
argument to convinct those who know
John L. that he is that kind of a hair
pin.
Fifth. Some of DIR. Mead's support
ers, who were associated with him in
the Senate of 1909 and now advocate his
claims to the governorship, were out
spoken in denouncing him as being en-
tirely unfit for this high office, and we
have failed to note their giving any
good and substantial reasons for chang
ing their minds.
Sixth. DR.. Mead has never done any
thing of a public character never has
been identified with progressive legis-
lation, never shown any sympathy with
high ideals for civic betterment, in
state, county, or town, that would war
rant his advancement to the high Office
of governor. He has the one talent of
money getting to recommend him-no
other, and from our view point this is
not sufficient. Unless we are misin-
formed, DR.. Mead has not today and
never has had the confidence and sup
port of the best citizenship of his city
or county, which, for a man of his age
and business connections, shows a Woe
full deficiency in those elements that are
essential in a governor such as the
people demand.
Finally, we believe it is time for the
republicans of Vermont to clean house
and, following the example set by the
lower branch of Congress in the over
throw of Cannonism, unite in the elimi-
nation of Meadism and the doctrine of
the lavish use of money to obtain poll
teal preference - Enosburg Standard.
