San Francisco presented to Secretary
Ballinger long brief setting forth
the equity Of the city's retaining the
Hetch Hetchey portion of the grant
itself and the necessity from the hy-
jraulic engineering point OF view OF
the city's having this main reinforce
ment of its future water supply. The
brief also covered in an exhaustive
manner the history of the Sierra IN
dertaking and the legal status of the
municipalities claims.

without style. Brick or chocolate
houses the latter called here brown
stone), with green window shades, look
simply awful. The whole city is as
ugly as can be. But what make the
streets look still more unattractive are
the soles Of mems boots in the win
dows. Imagine that men have here
the singular custom Of sitting In rock
ing chairs and putting their feet on the
window stills. You can see and admire
the size Of their shoes In the hotel lob
bies, the BARRIERS shops, the clubs and
even in some private residences.
Wherever you turn these soles stare at
you.'

Of the boxing game recently he said:

could learn how the American boys

Common fairness and decency de.
mand that when the position OF
newspaper is attacked. the editorial
criticised shall be printed, instead OF
a garbled quotation. But that seems
to be fayorite method of some OF
the Mead newspapers. the Rutland
Herald being an honorable exception.
Montpelier Journal.
The Journal is not the only one
that has noted this tendency on the
part OF some Of the Mead organs. The
following paragraph from the Rutland
News is an example:
The Bennington Banner and the
st Adams Messenger are assuming
not little responsibility subject TO
possible unpleasant reaction. when
they speak otherwise than respect
fully of the G. A. II. associations OF
any man or any men. Particularly
are they stepping upon sensitive
ground at this memorial season, with
Memorial Day Itself almost al hand ="
Every reader Of the Banner knows
that the Banner never spoke other
wise than in the highest possible
terms OF the G. A. II. and It's members
and the same is true OF the Messen-
ger, yet here comes a newspaper or.
gan and. without reprinting what the
Banner said, deliberately misrepre
sents It in a pitiful attempt to deceive
its own readers and thus try to work
upon their prejudices. Such thing,
always react and we have no doubt
all the readers Of the News have
learned long ago OF It's weakness and
judge OF It's utterances accordingly
In the old days lying about the Other
side was a common method OF argu
ing when a man found himself Sc
weak that he did not dare to face IN,
facts. but mighty few are deceived
by such methods nowadays We note
too, that several OF the newspapers
which are supporting Mead. have re-
printed the News falsehood, but mos
OF them will be ashamed OF Il aitcl

FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Pub'r

There is something for Vermont to
consider in the figures just come from
Indiana regarding the working of the
new primary law. The primaries
were held on Tuesday of this week
and less than forty per cent of the
voters of the two great parties took
interest enough in their new way of
beating the professional politicians TO
attend and cast their votes for candi-
dates. That lack of zeal is a good
work does not augur well for the sue
cess of the experiment If II should be
tried in Vermont, for it is likely that
the spirit of the voters is not greatly
at variance in Vermont with that of
Indiana If the Indiana voters do not
take interest enough to participate in
primaries to greater number than
forty per cents then the Vermont yot-
ers, with their characteristic indif-
ferent attitude toward this matter
cannot be expected to muster any
larger percentage. Barre Times.
If 40 per cent of the voters of the
two principal parties should turn out
at the caucuses there wouldn't be
nalf the need of a primary election
law that there is now. Barre is a
town where local and state issues
have called out some large caucuses
and naturally 40 per cent looks small
to the Times but in Bennington il
ten per cent of the voters of either
party turn out at a caucus we call II
a large caucus while If 40 per cent
should try to attend the caucuses
would have to be adjourned to tn,
street to do business as neither party
would be prepared for such over
whelming numbers. In some towns
in Vermont the caucuses are attended
usually by only from two to five pei
cent of the voters and lndianas Al
per cent looms large in contrast.

not afraid to take a stand on public

proves that when the paper speaks its
convictions, the little narrow-contracted

independence is commendable, in some
