Those who read this paper reeu-
,arlv know that before the cam
paien for governor opened the pre-
diction was made in these columns
that all efforts would be made to
becloud the real issues of the cam
paien and some sort OF bogus issue
trumped up for the purpose of throw
ine dirt in the eyes of the voters
and drawing attention away from
the real record of the present gov
ernor of this state. That prediction
has come true. The efforts OF a
good many newspapers and friends
Of the governor to ignore his record
while in office and to pitch the
campaign on the question OF prohl-
bition is truly amusing. 10 read
of Gov. Donaghey going over the
state abusing the whiskey interests,
which interests he has not harmed
during his terms in office, is also
truly amusing. All this thunder
on the prohibition question is made
to distract attention from the GOV
ernor's record on taxation, the new
capitol, a depleted state treasury,
and other matters of vital interest
Ito the public.
If some of our exchanges were to

opened Mr.. Donaghey was not
known in Arkansas as a statewide
prohibitionist, and why was not Mr..
Robinson known as a whiskey mani
Tell us this. What is there in the
official record Of Gov. Donaghey to

A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

next General election in September
at which time every citizen can
express himself as he chooses on
that question. Therefore there is
no settlement of the whiskey ques-
ton in the election of either MIR.
Donashey or Mr.. Robinson. The
people will settle that matter by
their ballots.
The question of taxation is an
issue in this campaign. Tne, the
Turner-Jacobson bill will also be
referred to the people in Septem-
Der, but do the ideas of Mr.. Dona-
ghey in regard to the matter of
taxing the people reflect your ideal
of the man who should be chief ex-
ecutive of the state? The question
of wrecked state treasury is an
issue in this campaign. The ques-
ton of a third term to a man who
has been most prolific in promises
and most barren in performance
is an issue in this campaign, The
question of the new state capitol
is an issue in this campaign. No
doubt these lines will be read by
many who have supported MIR.
Donaehey in the past without any
special preference for him other
than that they believed he could
and would speedily complete the
state house and remove that build
ing from the list of political issues.
That's what he said he'd do. His
literature and public speeches were
full of charges that the people were
being robbed in the construction of
the state house, and equally full of
assurances to the public that he
could complete the structure in
short time at small cost. Yet you
find Mr.. Donaghey, after he had
been governor one full term and
part of another; after all he had
expended on the building, asking
the last legislature for $672,00O
with which to complete the state
house. And this at time when
the treasury was empty and when
interest-bearing notes would have
been issued to raise the money had
the bill passed the senate as ii
passed the lower house.
I" " .
There are real, live issues in the
campaign for governor. Every ef-
fort is being made to divert atten-
tion from the real issues, There is
no reason why any voter should be
lulled to sleep by the song Of the
siren, only to wake and find that
he has been duped again.
o.
All honest labor Is honorable,
and If there is a young man among
our readers who thinks differently
the best thing he can do is to
change his mind and Oct out to
work at something A lot Of fel-
lows nowadays want jobs, but they
DON'T WANT TO WORK We
know fellows who, like that famous
character, Mr.. Macawber, in one
OF Dickens books, are always
waiting for something to turn up.
They will always be waiting The
young man who "gets there" Is the
one who gets out and makes things
turn up. Don't expect to begin al
the top, Everybody else has start
ed at the bottom. DO what there
Is an opportunity to do now. The
work may not be exactly to your
liking but 90 after 1t. Show your
willingness to work, inspire the
confidence Of the public, and some
thing better will come your way.

Well Summed Up.

Considering the condition that
existed and the remarkable opposi-
ton made against the Republican
candidates last Tuesday the result re-
fleets no discredit upon the candi-
dates or upon those who had the cam
paign in charge. In fact the latter
are entitled to a great deal of credit.
They bore the brunt of the hardest
political battle ever contended i'm Yer
mont. The Progressives were well
equipped They spent money freely
to get their big speakers about the
state and they made most OF their big
advertising card, the colonel. With
that, together with the activity of the
Democrats, 1t is a wonder that the
Republican plurality was not all
wiped out The Republican state
committee put up a grand fight With
out it we shudder to think what the
result might have been."-Burling-
ton Free Press.
One of these days the true inward
ness of this campaign will be as
plain as any page of history. and then
some of our friends will more sensib-
ly or sensitively realize what mis-
take somebody has made.-St Adams
Messenger.

DORSET

About two months ago and on a
Sunday afternoon, very large bird,
said by numerous residents to be an
eagle, came out of the southern hori'
zon and with evident evil portent ESQ
it was declared) circled over Dorset,
going as far north as the club house
when 1t suddenly turned in its flight
and took itself off in the direction
whence it came. On Sunday after
noon last at about the same hour as
its previous visit, apparently the
same bird re-appeared just previous
to the severest electric storm the
town has ever witnessed, and took its
tortuous route in the same manner
and with the same intent as before.
This visit was followed by floods OF
waters from all directions and much
devastation was wrought by the rain
fall. 1t is said that this birds third
visit here means utter destruction"
as several good marksmen are lying
in wait for 1t and will shoot at first
sight.

BIG BANK DEPOSITS
Increase of se,45s.3e Largest In
States History.

Newport. Sept 16.-State Bank
Commissioner +. c. Williams has is
sued his annual report, which shows
that the total deposits of the banks
at the close of business, June 30, 1912
were $50, $3.50, 1891, being an increase
for the year of $6,453, 61S.39, which is
the largest increase in any year in
the history of the State. This in
crease is divided as follows: The 81
mutual savings banks have increased
deposits of s2,434,0S5.43, and the 80
trust companies which have savings
deposits have increased deposits of
| S4,0l9, 52S.96.
The number OF depositors has in
creased 9.039: the number of Yer
mont depositors has increased $3.50
and the number of nonresident depos-
itors has increased 959. The amount
of deposits by residents of Vermont
has increased 1909, and the amount
of such deposits has increased $6,123,-
| 929.30.
The State banks have paid to the
State of Vermont in taxes during the
year, s535,4s1.09. being an increase
over the previous year of s45,192.O1
/ The banks have paid depositors in in
terest during the year $2,726, 950.42,
being an increase of $172.034.S9 over
the previous year.
Dividends paid stockholders of
trust companies have increased $780,

posits is practically the same as

savings banks paid depositors four
per cent interest on deposits and
four paid three and one-half per cent.

Interstate Trust company had not de

and should be increased. says Com
missioner Williams. but IL is impos-
sible TO make any appreciable in-
crease in surplus while deposits are
increasing so rapidly and banks pay
four per cent. interest.
The rate on loans during the last
year has been practically the same as
for the previous year. with the pros
pect of remaining about the same. at
least during the balance Of 1912. and
the only way in which the ratio of
surplus to deposits can be increased
is by a reduction Of the rate OF inter
est paid on deposits, the reduction
Of the State tar on deposits. OF an
increase in the rate on loans.

eth a city," No one is really
victorious, no matter what his
earthly success may be. until he
has won the victory over the
world, the flesh and the devil,
and has gained the crown of
life. Say not man is successful
until you know the manner Of his
death.
What is the price cf victory?
The price Is faith. This is the
victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith." II is
foolishness TO say that man does
not need the strength of the Lord
Jesus Christ to gain the victory
in life. And it is small price
to pay in return for what we get.
The price is unpopularity.
Jesus found it so. The only
time he went out of his own
country was when he found him
self unpopular at home. And it
is so with every man. AS long
as one goes the way the world
wants him to go. he will be POD
ular; but the world will laugh
him to scorn when he begins
to pay the price of victory over
worldly things.
The price is placing spiritual
ideals over material successes.
Judas may have been a success
full man, so far as material
wealth goes, but he never gain
ed a victory over his life.
Victory is priced in honest v,
not in dollars. "What shall il
profit man though he gain the
whole world and lose his own
soul?"
The price is prayer. Jesus
gained his victory through
prayer and a godly life.
Hezekish turned the armies of
the enemy through prayer; so
did Washington, and Lincoln.
and Grant. and Mckinley.
The price is watchfulness.
Some people say that the devil
is dead. But it takes an eternal
vigilance to gain the victory over
him. and save the soul.
Pay the price. The world
counts the cost almost prohibit
tive, but after all it is very little
for what you get in return. -

SUNDAY SERMONS
WORTH READING
President Of Scandinavian Mis-
sion Talks Of Work. -
Preacher Of Victory


viduals to the work of the Latter
day Saints. Mr.. Jensen said that
THE Scandinavian countries
have embraced the true gospel
more than any other countries.
Denmark. Norway and Sweden
have a total population of about
10000. 600 and more than GO, 900
have been converted to the
Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints
The speaker referred TO the
honesty and whole-heartedenss
of the Scandinavian people.
They are not far removed as
race. he said. from the English
and Americans and readily ANAL
gamate with these peoples. And
all the Scandinavian countries
are at peace with each other, he
said. They have learned more
than their forefathers and have
ceased quarreling.
Mr.. Jensen interspersed his
account Of the progress that has
been made by the church in
Europe with interesting side
lights upon the different coun-
tries, their people, institutions
and beauties. He described the
beauties Of the Norwegian fiords
and the splendors of the mid
night as witnessed by him and
President q. w. Penrose on the
occasion of the latter's visit to
the Scandinavian mission.
ENEMIES TAKE ACTION.
The success of the Scandinav-
ian mission In getting new mem
bers of the Mormon church
aroused enemies of the Saints
TO action. said Mr.. Jensen. Spec
ial exhorters against the Nor
mons were employed to lecture
in various cities and towns. One
preacher made IL his boast that
he would drive the Mormon MIS-
sionaries from Denmark. He
said those who attacked the
church sought to make people
believe that the Mormon mis-
sionarics were not church work
ers at all. but immigration agents
for a vicious scheme of Turing
girls from their homes to a du-
bious life in Utah.
Mr.. Jensen explained that
although the Saints mission
was one of peace. this injustice
and untruth was bit too much.
So he brought action in the
courts against these persons
and demanded that they prove
their assertions. Promptly
everyone connected with the
attacks forgot that they had said
anything against the Latter-day
Saints. Now they are endeavor-
ing to prove that they never
made these statements.
Rev. G. A. Foote.
There is a price set on every
thing in the world, varying as
the values vary, high or low as
the article is scarce or hard to
produce. II is not only grocer
les and freight rates and automo-
biles that are high priced. power
and victory are also; though
their price is not set by any
trusts, am not talking of mere
worldly success. but victory
which triumphs over sin, death
and hell.
Victory is not of the Jim Cor,
bett order. Ii is not OF the bat
tie field, nor of the ballot box.
not of the right of free speech.
Victory. the real. true victory is
of the life, the soul. the charac.
