The Presidents WaY.

President Taft sent the following tele-
gram on Tuesday to the Illinois Repub-
lican Editorial association which was
then in session at Springfield:
Sincerely hope that you will have a
fun meeting; that there will he harmony
and that the Republican editors of Illinois
viii stand by the action OF the Republican
Congress and Republican administration
in reference to the tariff bill and other
progressive legislation. The expression
OF a meeting like the one you have called,
arising from normal, sane and patriotic
Republican attitude, will have much in
fluence for good in Illinois and the rest
Of the country
(Sgned) WILLIAM II. TAFT"
This message was sent in response to
a request from the president OF the asso-
citation that Mr. Taft send a letter or
statement to he read to the editors during
their session The message is a charac-
teristically plain and direct appeal to the
country for support OF the policies which
the President is now urging upon Con-
gress and OF the tariff bill as ne signed
1t. This appeal has especial significance
at this time because. notably in the West
ern states, the issues are now being made
up on which the members Of the next
national House OF Representatives will be
elected. and it is clearly recognized in
Washington that, unless the Republican
party acts as a unit in the campaign il
must suffer the loss Of many seats in
Congress
1t is evident, moreover that the Presi-
dent wishes ii to be understood that, in
the coming campaign for the election OF
Representatives in Congress- he considers
the test OF Republicanism to be the simple
one as to whether the people and their
candidates approve of his efforts TO Sc
cure legislation which will fulfl the
| promises Of the last Republican national
/ platform, and of his course in signing
/ the tariff bill and securing the appoint
ment Of a tariff board to make a nom
| partisan study Of commercial conditions
| so that the next tariff revision may be
| based on actual knowledge of what and
/ where protection is needed and not on
/ the insistent demands of great special in
/ terests. 1t grows more evident every
/ day that President Taft is not a man OF
| evasions, that he has no use for under
handed or indirect methods, and that for
his strength with the people he relies on
entire openness and frankness in regard
| to all his views and policies.

SENT TO COUNTY JAIL.
Ernest Bryant Pleaded Guilty to Two
Charges and Was Sentenced to Five
Months for Disturbing the Peace.

Ernest Bryant who gave his age as 81
years, had his second session with the
municipal court Wednesday when he
was sentenced to not less than five
months nor more than six months in the
county jail in Newfane He Will be
transferred to Rutland to work out his
sentence. Two charges We're brought
against him, breach of the peace and
lewd conduct. The charge of breach of
the peace was based on the fact of his
having annoyed several young women by
speaking to them on the street, the same
charge which was brought against him
when he was before the court a year ago
At that time he was sentenced to serve
one month in the county jail in Newfane
More recently he got into trouble in
New Hampshire and was sent to the
Cheshire county farm in Westmoreland.
He ran away from there recently and
showed up in Brattleboro the last Of the
week.
He was up to his old tricks Monday
evening and Chief-of-Police George Will
son took him into custody. Judge Il, w.
Gibson was out of town at the time, so
the young man was held until Wednesday
morning, when he was arraigned. He
pleaded guilty to both charges, but he
was sentenced only for breach Of the
peace. Sentence was suspended on the
other charge and the young man was
given to understand that several years
DenlnQ lne DdFS were III blOIe IoI MIN
in the event of that charge ever being
pressed against him. He said that after
his present sentence was out he never
would hang around this locality again.
Bryant also gave some interesting testi-
mony as to his obtaining from a local
drug store two bottles of Jamaica ginger
the 80 per cent, alcohol kind. He said
that he gave one of these to his aunt
Mrs. Rosa Williams and that he drank
| the other.
lie was examined to determine his men,
tai condition by two physicians but they
| disagreed as to whether he ought to be
| sent to the Retreat.
Bryant figured in a shooting affair II
| West Chesterfield in August, 1907, wher
he and his stepfather, James Arlng, go
! into an alteration. After hitting Arlnl
| over the head with a broom stick, Bryan
! started to run down the road from the
house. Arling, according to testimony II
court, picked up his gun and fired, buck
shot striking the boy in the arm. Th'
boy was brought to the Brattlebort
Memorial hospital. The family formerl!
lived in the Judge house on Washington
street near the junction of Canal street

Collecting Census Schedules.

Everett A. l. Anderson, chief agent in
charge of the special agents to collect
statistics of manufactures, mines and
mining for Vermont and New Hampshire
in the coming census, was In Brattieboro
this week to give instruction to o. B.
Hughes, who will serve as special agent
for Windham county Mr.. Anderson has
is special agents under his Jurisdiction,
and the somewhat complicated system OF
gathering the statistics requires day or
two of explanation to each special
agent. Mr.. Anderson left wednesday for
Concord, N. H. Early in the week Mr..
Anderson sent to each manufacturer and
business man in Brattleboro a printed
schedule and circular letter Of informa-
tion. Mr.. Hughes started in yesterday to
visit these men and assist them in making
out the schedule. In many cases there
are supplemental schedules for special sta
tistics. The regular schedule includes IL
headings with from one to 10 questions
to be answered under each. The circular
letter states that all information given
will be strictly confidential and that II
will not be for use for purposes of taxa
tion or to identify the operations of any
establishment, and that 1t will not be
| disclosed to any state or local authority
| or to any other bureau OF the federal
government The letter requests that SO
| far as possible the schedules be filled out
before the special agent calls, but any
| questions that are not clear should be
| left until Mr.. Hughes calls to explain the
| intent of the question After Mr.. Hughes
| has completed the statistics for Brattle-
| boro he viii make a trip through the
| southern part OF the county, and later
| he will go to Bellows Falls and the north
| ern part of the county. In all towns the
! schedules will be sent to each man about
a week ahead of the visit by the special
agent,

Tho question Of direc: primary law
is sure to come before the Vermont legis-
lature next fall. The design of such a
law should be 20 rehec, the will OF the
people in as simple way as possible
The law should be considered with a
view TO Ncrmonts peculiar needs. To
copy the law OF some big western state
is not enough. When the Australian
ballot law was adopted IN this state it
was a copy from another state. and it
was considered with so little thought
that it contained provisions for pre-
cincts" and other governmental sub
divisions that are not part OF our
state machinery. The St Adams Mes
senger mas recently offered some excel
lent suggestions regarding direct pri-
maries in this state. The first law to
be enacted in this direction will be an
evolutionary step toward something bet
ter than we have now, not necessarily
a panacea for all our present political
ills. Another IS that ii will be better TO
begin the reform in some small way and
test 1t out, rather than Ito risk the whole
principle upon some top-lofty measure
that in its collapse may set back the
introduction of a sadly needed reform
for many years more"

our Home Campaign Against Tubereu
losis

1t is long time since more helpful,
hopeful and inspiring meeting has been
held in Brattleboro than the one in the
Congregational chapel Wednesday even
ing, when a large company of woman's
club members and their guests gave
earnest and interested attention to Miss
Hndgrens story so clearly and effective
~ told, of the work in the tuberculosis
camp last season and of her own work
as the district nurse in charge of tuber-
culosis patients in this village during the
winter If the Woman's club had per-
formed no other service for the COM
munity the beneficent results Of this
undertaking would Justify its existence
many times over.
II was clear to all who listened to
Miss Lindgren's story that the benefit Of
her work is not by any means confined
to the patients whom she visits and cares
for but that her mission is educational
and preventive in a very broad way. And
this fact suggests the question as to
whether a general system OF intelligent
painstaking district nursing and super
vision would not afford the surest and
most effective means with which to COM
bat the great white plague" Because
of the work of the Woman's club and
Of Miss Lindgren's watchful and increas-
ing oversight Bratteboro was never so
secure against the inroads Of consumption
as IT is today. suppose the state of
Vermont were to take up this pressing
problem along these general lines and
organize system under which every
town and every family in the state
should have the benefit OF this kind OF
helpful, intelligent oversight, would it not
be the surest way to reach and nelp
every individual case, to prevent the
spread Of the infection, and eventually to
stamp out the deadly scourge?

The death OF Representative Perkins
of New York leaves Representative Fos-
ter of Vermont the ranking member of
the House committee on foreign affairs.
Mr.. Foster is not in favor with Speaker
Cannon, however, and there is much
speculation in Washington as to whether
the ambition of the Vermonter to occupy
a first class Craftsmanship will be graft
fed One report is to the effect that
the Speaker intends to appoint Repre-
sentative DENLY OF Michigan, who is now
the fourth member OF the committee.
Mr.. DENLY is one Of the younger Con-
gressmen, being just under 40, but he
is Cannon's personal friend and 1t is
claimed that he has a wide knowledge
of foreign affairs, gained through asso-
citation with mis- father, who was minister
to China some years If Mr.. Foster is
superstitous he may not care for the
place, anyway. Misfortune seems TO fol-
