President Taft's political utter
ances on his present trip in the west
generally have a sincere ring when
he touches upon tariff issues. 1t
looks considerably as if he had found
himself politically and is now ready
and anxious to lead his party along
the lines of true Republieanism -
Mortified News.
President Taft's fight for reciproc-
ity looked very much as if he really
desired to relieve the country, in
some measure. of the burden of an cut
of-date tariff. Buff he has changed
his mind in. the least. if he has
found himself politically" as the
News says. it must mean that he has
settled back into the old rut and is
not in rush for relief measures -
waiting. middle-of-the-road policy
that seems to be in line with true
Republicanism."

regret that for the reason stated

The Lieutenant-eovernorship.

There are rumbling limitations
that Allen M. Fletcher will not have
things all his own way in the race
for governorship, still he seems to
have a very strong lead now, Mr.
DeFsoer declining to make an active
campaign, though he would take the
nomination if offered to him. and
interest centres in the contest for
second place on the Republican
ticket. At present there are four
candidates. all of whom have some
following -
Speaker Frank E. Howe, of Ben

Senator Max Powell. of Burling-
ton.
Willard F. Barnes, of Addison.
Roger W. Hulburd of Morrisville.

"FIRE PREVERTIOM DAY."
Governor Mead Appoints SAT-
urday, October Is.

Gov. John A. Mead has issued q
proclamation calling the attention OF
the people Of Vermont to the enor-
nous loss by fire annually sustained
by the State, and urging more
careful inspection and provision for
reducing in great degree this
appalling waste.
The FIRE loss of Vermont last year
was So SO per capita. a total loss OF
over one million dollars.
Governor Mead names Saturday,
October 20, as Fire Prevention
Day." and calls upon the people Ito
devote the day to the removal OF
debris from their premises, to see
that the heating appliances in their
homes are made safe, to carefully
examine the Hues and chimneys and
to perform such other work as may
eliminate hazard by fire. Boards of
education should personally examine
the institutions in their charge. City
and village authorities should CO
operate with them and with the
public generally in the adoption and
enforcement of the rules and regula-
tions as will prevent this enormous
and constant. drain upon the re-
sources of our state. Drills in the
Public Schools might be established
and information be disseminated,
that would to considerable extent
aid in the protection of life and
property. / invite the. public press
to take active part in impressing
upon the public the Importance of
this movement and in awakening
with every individual sense Of
every citizens responsibility to his
neighbor and himself, to the end that
the loss Of life and property may be
reduced to the minimum.

NO MORAL TO THIS STORY.

Considerable Expense Connected With
EasIns Mans Conscience.
In some way man became obsesaed
with the idea that he owed the gov
eminent certain sum Of money. The
thought weighed upon his conscience
and disturbed his slumbers.
One day he pushed aside the de-
mands OF business and figured out the
indebtedness. After SIX hours OF care
ful computation at 90. cents an hour
he arrived at the conclusion that the
debt, principal and interest, was exact
ly 10 cents.
Before the interest could still further
accumulate he sent the full amount In
an envelope addressed to tho treasury
department. But he forgot to affix
stamp.
Later ON a forty cent an hour dead
letter clerk passed the Enclosure to
twenty cent an hour messenger, who
carried It over to the treasury depart
ment, where a ave dollar day clerk
ratlroaded It along to a ak dollar day
clerk who dispatched II to fourteen
dollar n day assistant treasurer, who
certified II to the twenty dollar day
head of the bureau Of extraordinary
revenues. who presently chucked It
into the conscience fund. with hoarse
laugh of irritable derision.
