A BIG BARREL FULL
OF BLAMED FOOL

Niagara Falls, N. Y, July u.s.
Bobby Leach this afternoon passed
alive through Horseshoe Falls in a
barrel. This is the second time that
the feat has been successfully accom-.
plished. Leach was taken out of the
barrel at the foot Of the falls. One
leg was broken, and he was badly
bruised, but his injuries were not
considered serious.
Leach made the perilous trip in
steel barrel. He was cast adrift on
the Canadian side, and was driven
close to the Canadian shore by a
high wind. Thirty seconds after the
barrel passed over the brink 1t was
again visible, and was caught in an
eddy at the bottom.

Beyond control and sweeping
with irresistible fury through the
timber east of this city, fire today
threatens nearly every logging camp
and town in this vicinity. Already
hundreds of persons have been
forced to flee for their lives, one
logging camp and several railway
bridges have been burned and thou
sands of dollars damage to timber
and property in general has been
done.
Famed by strong east wind, a
small fire which had been kept un-
der control at camp No. 6, on the
Curtiss Lumber company's logging
railroad, eight miles southeast of
this city, suddenly broke out with re-
newed energy Sunday afternoon and
in a few hours attained such proper
tions that the 140 persons in the
camp were forced to flee for their
lives.
Train Saves Lives.
Their escape was narrow, and
while some took the trail to Gates
the others, among whom were many
men with families, were brought to
Mill City by the logging train.
Though menaced on either side
by the burning forests and by burn
ing trees falling across the right Of
way, the train made two trips to
camp six before escape was cut off

Before this matter goes to the point
of developing personal candidates. so
that something said this way or that
way about it might be misconstrued
by the over-sensitive as opposed to
this or that mans ambition, let The
Messenger suggest that we all agree
to discuss and promote the political
canvass of 1912 on this basis:
That it is a man and not a geograph
ical locality that we propose to nomi.
nate.
That it is the fitness of the man and
not the record of his county for con-
tanning ofice-holders that makes up
the qualification of any candidate.
That Offices are not perquisites to
be distributed from time to time
among people in certain relative
proportions so that all may share"
equally. but are agencies of govern
ment to be filed by the best available
material wherever 1t may be found,
because the Office is designed to serve
the interests of the whole public and
not merely to give one man a job.
Let us stop talking about any coun-
~ having a claim" on this or that
public office. Let us get to work to
find the tittest man, no matter where
he lives.
Men, not soil, should be represented
in the government and men, not soil,
should do the representing.
The same old geography in politics
idea makes Vermonts legislature an
absolutely un-republican, un-American
institution, and often makes of party
politics and the selection Of party
candidates a childish farce.-St, Al

The Passing of the Veteran
Air, Lead Kindly Light"
The years roll by. Time swiftly wings
its flight:
We're growing old.
The wintry blast has touched us with
its blight;
We're growing old
Our eyes are dim. our ears no longer
hear,
Our faltering steps proclaim the end
is near.
1t was not thus when treason raised
its head,
Then we were young.
When loyal men grew pale with fear
and dread,
Then we were young.
At Lincoln's call we fought for liberty,
\ land We saved, a people we set free.
We murmur not at our advancing age;
Thy will be done.
We've played our part, We're passing
of the stage;
Thy will be done.
We wrought for God, for country and
for right
We've borne our cross. o, may our
crown be bright.
