All Eyes Turned to Vermont

The Springfield Republican is printed close to the Vermont line, ir the Connecticut valley, and it inclines to the belief that the election of g governor in Vermont will be throwr into the legislature. It sees no chance for the normal republican plurality o1 half century, namely 25,O00. "The campaign" it says, "of the Roosevelt state ticket is being led by Congre. gational clergyman as candidate fol governor. He is sure of over 10000 votes, apparently. General political conditions in the state are favorable to an assault upon the old republican regime which has been invincible fol so many decades. The Proctors are gone and the republican organization has not been progressive in state af- fairs. Reciprocity with Canada, as fathered by President Taft, angered many of the Vermont farmers. The Roosevelt tradition is also strong ir the state
 The election takes place one week from next Tuesday, September 3, and it will be the first real test of public sentiment. The democrats are known to be holding well together, and there is prohibition as we'll as socialist ticket in the field. The state will bt well filled with spellbinders up to tho day of election and the result will be widely accepted as ane indication of the greater result in November.

 A herd of reindeer tramples the Lap land snows 6 polar bear leaps from a humnoek of ice and dives into the Arctic seas: n moth breaks it's cocoon, dries It's tender wings moment in the sun and essays It's first flight; water beetle darts upon a snake. sinks its forceps below the head and clngs to the threshing, maddened reptile while hundred fellows join the attack and strike until a mortal spot is reached an otter sneaks up on a rock, slashes a cruel paw into the stream and quiverng bass lies at his feet.
 What wonderful stories are depicted in the moving picture films.
 The magic Carpet is outdone. Day by day the creatures of the wild are cap tured in their haunts and led before us. Kings ride to be crowned; Moorish pot teis whirl their wheels. The mystic Nile flows in the glow of the dying sun; shad- owy camels pace her banks; pyramid and Sphinx stand ghostly in the dusk. Italian soldiers fire from their trenches. A battle fleet steanls out to sea while you lean at your ease and with talis- manic dime command the world to dis close it's mysteries and parade its races. Small wonder that the modern child holds fairy tales in slight esteem.

-----s9s---------------- GRUB SHAKING AUTHORS

New York Letter to the Cincinnati
 Times-Star.
 We have to grubstake half the men who write for us." declared the editor of a popular magazine the other day. Few of them make money enough to be independent. Even writers of fc- ton who have an established position come to us for advance money every time d story is ordered. Naturally enough, we pay writers of that sort less for their stories than we do the independent. geezer who holds out for his price. Naturally, also, tine inde- pendent geezer doesn't get his price as often as he would if he were not in competition with a bunch of literary panhandlers."
 The discussion had started over a remark made by Rex Beach, When Ee first began to make a hit, magazine editor went to Chicago to see him. He found that Beach had good Job sell ing fire brick.
 That's right. said he. You stick to your job. Literature Is all right as a side line-but brick will pay the rent
 Beach has always thought that con- versation very funny, inasmuch as at the end of the first year lle had made s15,ooo by his pen and has been dou- bling and tripling that sum every year since. But the advice holds good. so far as the run of the mine author Is concerned.
 Tt makes me think of the letter once sent to Edman Ridgeway by o. Henry" said the editor first quoted
 MT. Henry wanted money and he sent boy for it. only want $10. he had written. But the boy isn't used to hearing me talk of such small sums. Mention two..or three hundred dollars kind of loosely before him. He will respect me more. You are reputed to. be a millionaire. Therefore l assume that you can talk about two or three hundred dollars without smiling. But only want s10. Please send 1t.

Plans Drawn for the New Ship

Only one battleship is to be built, and Secretary of the Navy Meyer rises up to remark that it will be no bigger than it would have been if two ships had been authorized. And yet Congress appropriated $15, 100000 in order to make a super-dreadnaught without an equal on the seas.
 Secretary Meyer calmly announces that Congress can go hang. The ship authorized will be built according to specifications already prepared and Congress cannot change the Meyer programme in that respect. It can limit the number of ships but it can not dictate their size or power or gen eral nature. This is a new position on the part of the executive branch of the government, and the legislative branch may yet call MT. Meyer to ac- count.
 The vessel in question is to be called the Pennsylvania, and it is to carry 12 14-inch guns. The Texas and the New York have but 10 IA inch guns. The Pennsylvania vii have four turrets, each containing three 14-inch guns. This is practical ly all the concession Mir Meyer will make to the demand of Congress for 8 super-dreadnaught of unequaled pow CT.

Gov. Marshalrs Acceptance Speech

0Oh. MdrSHdll <acCcpthuCS cpScSt
 The acceptance speech of Governor Marshall should be bound with that of Governor Wilson, and the two circu- lated from one end of the country to the other. Both are admirable demo- cratic documents.
 Governor Marshall attacks special vg4vilege, and he declares that the mother of all special privilege is the high protective tariff. He says that the duty of the democratic party is to strike down every species of special privilege inuring to the benefit of a few, and to give every man his chance in life unnampered and unaided by legislative enactment.
 In summing up he says: "The voter who believes that the cost of produc- ton at home and abroad should be eoualized to the manufacturer of this country, and who wants an oligarchy to rule, may vote the straight repub- lican ticket; the voter who believes ir a similar protective theory, but who . prefers to an oligarchy that the Pres ident shall be the state, may vote tho sprogressive ticket; the voter who be- lieves this government should be turned into socialism may vote tho sncialist ticket; the voter who thinks

 Meantime the struggle with the awful German language went on. It was a general hand to hand contest. From the head of the household down to little Bay not one was exempt. To Clemens it be- came a sort of nightmare. Once in his notebook he says:

 Rosa, the maid, was required to speak to the children only in German, though Bay at first would have none of it. The nurse and governess tried to blandish her, in vain. She maintained a calm and per- sistent attitude of scorn. Little Susa tried, and really made progress; but one day she said, patheticaly:
 Mamma, I wish Rosa was made in English
