example, deep sea vessels, which carry
at any time a passenger list of fifty
persons and more, are fast being
equipped with wireless apparatus to
conform with the new United States
law. July has been set as the dead
line and all vessels in the fifty pas
senger class must be equipped by that
time or find their clearances entangled.
This law embraces not only American
vessels, but all foreign ships touching
at American ports. The "ifty pas
sengers" also includes passengers as
well as crew.
Although all the larger ships, and
especially all the big passenger boats,
are now equipped with wireless there
is large per cent. of deep sea vessels
finding themselves within the order.
In consequence wireless apparatus is
in demand and some masters are find
ing difficulty in securing expert cleo
tricians at once to install the machines.
The order has caused great demand
for operators as well. The secretary OF
commerce and labor has issued orders
for examinations for operators to be
held at Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia
Washington, Norfolk, Charestown
New Orleans, San Francisco and Puget
Sound, Wash.

Diaz Abdic ates.

President Diaz abdicates and sails for
Spain, thus concluding the instruction
begun some six months ago. For sew
eral weeks the uprising seemed to make
but little progress. it was not until the
cabinet resigned and the president
promised several important reforms
that the outside world became aware of
the seriousness of the struggle. The
letter of President Diaz in which he
presented the resignation which the
insurgents forced from him is pathetic
document and touches the hearts of
those who appreciate the great service
he has rendered his country. He is a
great man and history will award him a
high place among the heroes of Mexico.
His chief fault was that he did not fully
recognize the advance that Mexico
has made that he attempted to rule
modern Mexico by the rules which he
applied before education had enlarged

Corrupt Practises Bill Is Strin-
qent

The new corrupt practises bill, framed
by the committee on election laws, will
be read in the Senate for the first time
today and one of its most drastic fea-
lures will be the limiting of expenses
of candidate to $25 for every 1000
voters, but allowing an expenditure of
at least $3.50.
The bill will have many features
strange to politicians. 1t provides that
distributing nomination papers shall be
a legitimate expense; that not more
than one conveyance shall be used at a
polling place for primaries, and polit-
ical committee may hire not more than
one vehicle at each polling place for an
election.
Senator Stearns filed the new bill
with the clerk of the Senate yesterday
afternoon. One of its most radical
changes will be in section 319. This
reads:
No person, no political committee,
and no person acting under the au-
thority of political committee or in
its behalf, shall demand, solicit, ask
or invite from person who has been
nominated for nomination or election
for public office, or who is occupying
an elective State or city office, any pay
ment or gift of money or other val
liable thing, or promise of payment or
off Of rnOnaV Or Othar valuobIo +b;oc,
to be used in primaries or elections
or elsewhere, for advertising, gratui-
ties, donations, tickets, programs or
any other purpose whatsoever; and no
such candidate for nomination or cleo
ton and no one who is occupying an
elective State or city office shall make
any such payment or gift, or promise
to make any such payment or gift, to
any person, political committee, or any
person acting under the authority of
the political committee, if such person
or political committee has demanded,
solicited, asked or invited from him any
such payment, gift or promise of pay
ment or gift.
Punishment for violations under the
new law provides Imprisonment for
not more than a year or by fine not
exceeding $1,000 and the person con-
victed will be ineligible to hold office
for three years and the office to which
violator might be elected would be
vacated. Boston Journal, June 13.

OBITUARY..
MISS SATTIE NJ. TAYLOR.


One less at home
The charmed circle again broken-a
dear face,
Missed, day by day, from its accustomed
place,
One more in Heaven.
One less at home
One voice of welcome hushed, and
evermore,
One farewell word unspoken, on the
shore where parting comes not, one
soul landed more,
One more inaeaven.
Miss Sattie Mary Taylor, who has been
ill at the home of her parents for the
past ten weeks, passed away late Friday
night of heart disease. Miss Taylor was

Miss Stella, two brothers, Alfred and
Rupert, and two other sisters, Isabelle
and Margaret, all of this town, and by a
host of relatives and friends, as shown
by the many kindnesses rendered to her
and her family during her illness. She
was young lady of most estimable
character. loving sister, dutiful and
hOme-lOving daughter, and above all a
sincere Christian, being member of the
Catholic church, and her patience and
| faith through all her long suffering was
an example to all

The peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
I Till we see in heaven thy face. E.

Publishing Campaign Contribu'
fionS


The national publicity law organiza-
ton is urging the amendment of the
present law requiring the publishing of
the names of contributors to national
dition of the following provision:
"Sec. 5. That the treasurer of every
such political committee shall, not more
than fifteen days and not less than ten
days before an election at which rep
resentatives in Congress are to be
elected in two or more States, file in
the office of the clerk of the House
of Representatives at Washington,
District of Columbia, with said clerk,
an itemized detailed statement, sworn
to by said treasurer and conforming
to the requirements of the follow
ing section of this act 1t shall also be
the duty of said treasurer to file SINH
lar and final statement with said clerk
within thirty days after such election,
such final statement also to be sworn
to by said treasurer and to conform to
the requirements of the following sec
ton of this act. The statements so
filed with the clerk of the House shall
be preserved by him for fifteen months,
and shall be part of the public records
of his Office and shall be open to public
inspection.
This was in the bill as it passed the
House but was stricken out in the
Senate. 1t goes without saying that it
will pass the Democratic House and it
ought to pass at the special session
and it is likely to pass the Senate by
combination of Democrats and progress
i've Republicans. The Democratic ma
tional platform of 1908 demanded:
eve demand federal legislation,
forever terminating the partnership
which has existed between corporations
of the country and the Republican party
under the expressed or implied agree
ment that in return for the contribution
of great sums of money wherewith to
purchase elections they should be al
lowed to continue substantially un-
molested in their efforts to encroach
upon the rights of the people
"Any reasonable doubt as to the ex-
istence of this relation has been dis
PEELED by the sworn testimony of wit
nesses examined in the insurance inves-
tigation in New York and the open adj
mission of single ndividual-unchal-
lenged by the Republican national
committeeman he himself at the
personal request of the then Re-
publican candidate for the presidency
raised over quarter of a million dol
lars to be used in single State during
the closing hours of the last campaign.
In order that this practice shall be
stopped for all time we demand the pas
sage of statute Furnishing by imprison-
ment any officer of corporation who
shall either contribute on behalf of or
consent to the contribution by cor
poration of any money or thing of value
to be used in furthering the election of
a president or vice president of the
United States, or of any member of
the Congress thereof. The Commoner.

FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1911.
The Bread Loaf.

The Bread Loaf Inn as usual begins
to fill up with summer guests quite early.
The first party, which came several
weeks since, is one of seven from
Detroit, Mich. Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Bald
win, four children and nurse. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Baldwin have been at the Inn
repeatedly before. To the children, who
are quite young, it is new, but they are
entirely delighted with country life,
especially with the mountain character
of it, and the beautiful effects from it
of dissolving storms.
The second party to arrive was from
Montreal They, too, have been at the
Inn quite little time, and some dozen
or more from Montreal, the larger part
of whom were at the Inn last year,
have engaged rooms for the summer.
This week a party of four ladies
arrived from Savannah, Georgia, a
very delightful party, who expect a
number of friends to join them. They,
too, are much pleased with the noun
famous character of the country, and
the GOODNESS that connects with it, re-
marking that the thermometer stood at
101 when they left Savannah. Nearly
all of the guests that have so fan
arrived come for a stay of ten weeks
or more.
All second floor rooms are occupied OF
promised, but few on the third floor
very good ones, remain, and in the
larger cottages there are still left three
in Birch and six in Maple.
Other guests are expected this week
and quite number next week, nearly
all to remain through the summer.
The danger from automobiles keep!
many away and has prevented the cree
ton of a number of new cottages. II
the meantime, the Selectmen of Riptol
have posted the turnpike, forbidding t.
automobiles a greater speed than sil
miles an hour, and arrangements hav,
been made to have this law strict,
enforced.

Franklin County Reforestry.

Reforestry is attracting considerable
interest in Swanton and vicinity, the
Barney Marble company recently set
ting out 5000 white pine plants on a
few acres. The pioneer in reforestry
in Swanton is P. j. Farrell who set out
1000 six-inch white pines three years
ago as an experiment. A year later he
added more and the result was so salts
factory that he has kept adding until
now he has miniature forest of $500
trees. The Farrell pinery has been
under the inspection of the State for
ester at Burlington where the pine
seedlings were procured. C. K. Smith,
an inspector from the State forestry
bureau, last week looked over the Far
rell and Barney Marble company tracts,
and went to Franklin to inspect some
reforestry that the Hon. Charles w.
Gates has undertaken and from there
to Enosburg Falls to inspect reforestry

upon, he had attended four other COM
mencements. Professor Hooper de-
clared that democracy was the most de-
scriptive work for the education of the
future. The three RS must no longer
be worshipped. He stated the three
aims of education to be, first an at
tainment of industry second a creation
of integrity, and third the ability to APP
preciate the IDEAL He alluded to
men like John G. Sage and Silas Wright
and E. ]. Phelps as proof that Middle
bury produced such men and closed with
the hope that he might return in years
to come to attend the graduation of
more students inspired with the same
qualities that had characterized the
Middebury students of former years.
There was hearty applause.
Judge Harrington Putnam of the
State of New York was the last
speaker. He chose to speak in mem
DRY of the patriot Silas Wright a man
whose worth had been tried and found
all gold. He stated that the friends of
Silas Wright planned tablet in his
honor to be placed in one of the college
buildings.
President Thomas closed the program
by signing the contract for the erection
of the Mccullough gymnasium, the con-
tract for which was awarded to Branch
and Callahan, Saranac, N. Y.
