Technically, Senator Lorimer may b
an innocent man, but neither the report
of the majority Of the special commit
tee Of the Senate investigating his
election nor favorable vote of the Sen
ate on this report will convince the pub
lie but what Lorimer's election was Sc
cured by other than strictly honorable
peans. Lorimer, all his life, has been
a practical politician in the worse sense
Of the term; and il any perverted means
to secure his election were adopted he
hasn't such a nice sense of right and
wrong to know it. But this is no rea-
son why the Senate should adopt his
point of view. The country can stand
Lorimer in the Senate, but the members
Of that body, if they retain him, will
suffer more in the estimation of the
people than they can overcome in many
years.

CURRENT COMMENT
Make 1t Mean Something.

1t will be good thing for the party if
the Republican state committee succeeds
In devising some way of making the
platform stand for something more than
a combination of ink and paper. 1t is
said that the leaders already have I'M
der consideration plan to effect this
result. The experience of past years has
been such as to make some such action
Imperative if the party is to face the
people with a clean conscience There
does not seem to be any good reason
why the delegates to the state eonyen.
tion should formulate party principles
If they are to mean nothing. The plat
form should be looked upon as being in
the nature of pledge. 1t should be
the outgrowth of a statewide discus
sion OF planks that have been suggested
from it-makes- no difference what-quar-
ter, which suggestions should be adopt
ed or rejected according to whether or
not they conform to the best standards
of Republicanism. The platform should
come into being in this way rather than
by spontaneous birth.
When once the party. in convention
assembled has adopted it's platform, it
is stating on what grounds it is seeking
the support of the electorate. If the
party is worthy of confidence it should
determine to live up to its pledges as
closely as possible in case the voters
put it in power. Candidates who cannot
accept these principles should so de-
clare themselves that those who elected
them to Office may know what to expect
from them. To fail to do this, espe-
cially after the platform has been made
to mean something, will be equivalent
to securing election under false pre-
lenses. Just because the Republican
party is so overwhelmingly predominant
in Vermont is no excuse why the plat
form should be considered as being of
no Importance and of no real signii-
cance.-St. Adams Messenger.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
THE FARMERS VIEWPOINT.
Correspondent Advocates Union for the
Farmers BENEFIT.

Editor, Barre Daily Times: have a
word to say to the readers Of The
Times, if you will give me space.
j. 7. Callaghan seems to think the
clerks are the only ''grists at the mill.
! would like to say If the clerks Tor other
city people, that work $50 hard and
for 80 little" pay, would just go out
and labor on farm for while, they
might find they were living an easy
life,
A farmer gets up at half past four
or five in the morning, feeds, does his
milking and other chores, while break
fast is getting. Eats his breakfast and
puts his team to the plough and works
all day, with the exception of the noon
hour. At night he has the same chores
to be looked after. Then comes the
narrowing, planting or sowing, cultivat-
ing and harvesting of the crops. They
are then threshed and fed to his cattle
and pigs. And then, when they are
ready for market, he gets from seven
to nine cents per pound, dressed weight.
And. yet, if he wants piece OF that
same meat to carry home for his next
days dinner, it will cost him from fif-
teen to thirty cents per pound.
Now my opinion Is that people like
~ T. Callaghan are suffering from
bad case of indigestion, caused by eat
ing meat and vegetables grown by nom
union farmers and cooked over wood
fire cut and delivered by those same
non-union farmers of Vermont and l
think it high time there should be rem
edy for the disease. And the only rem
edy in view is that the farmers them
selves should form a union and so pre-
vent an outbreak of non-union indiges-
ton.
III the farmers are called mossbacks,
hayseeds and waybacks by the city
clerks, they well deserve the name, for
they have sat with their eyes closed,
apparently asleep, till now it is time
they should arouse from their lethargy
and form an organization like other
men of business. And when things don't
come their way Tin the right wayl, just
have strike and show the insiders
they are fully aroused and that they
refuse to be '.grists at the mill" any
longer and that they have right to set
the prices their way part of the time at
least.
IL should De thing OF the past Tor
a farmer to 60 into a store and say
How much will you give me for my
eggs and potatoesf" and "How much do
you ask me Tor that pound of sugar or
yard of cloth? ?" There has been quite
a little said about farmers holding their
potatoes for higher prices. But is it
more than fair, when the merchants hold
their goods for the same results?
Every farmers wife should have
clipped J. 7. C.'s little poem from The
Times and pasted it near the towel rack,
where it might have been read three
times day, at least, for it is 1T |
ting sketch of the farmers life. But
il the farmer ever gets aroused to his |
rights and should deem it his duty to |
strike, it would be different from |
clerks strike or bakers strike. There
might possibly be something doing, is
The opinion of
Another Farmers Wife.

TAFT AND THE OHIO RESULT.

The division of Ohio between Roose-
welt and Taft still more complexities the
situation which will face the Republic
can national convention in Chicago next
month and adds uncertainty to present
estimates of the outcome. The fail
IRE to carry a majority of his state
was, of course, serious blow to Pres
ident Taft but it was no more telling
than Rooseveit's loss of his own state,
SO that the honors are about even in
that respect. As contributing to that
failure TO carry his state, Taft's own
method of campaigning is largely at
fault, for it is likely that had the presi-
dent persisted in the manner as he
started out, without descending into
personal attacks on his chief opponent,
he would have carried more votes and
greater prestige. During the remainder
of his campaigning, he should revert to
the dignified methods early tried and
leave the personalities to the other fell
lows; that kind Of campaign does not
well become the presidents personality.
Moreover, Taft is in commanding posi-
ton and all but assured osvictory at Chi
cago, while Roosevelt, in spite of recent
heavy gains is still far from the nomi-
nation A great deal depends upon
how Taft condilcts himself from, fhia
time on to the convention. He cannot
afford to ALLEVIATE further support byI
employing methods which are not
worthy of him.

SIGNBOARD CAMPAIGN.
Continued from first page.)

cost If it were to extend from the Jones
Bros. plant along the river bed and
through some of his land to the plant
now known as the Barre Monumental
Works. He thought the work could
be accomplished for $3.50. The matter
was referred to the water committee
with instructions to report. A second
report OF the water committee stated
that proposed extension of the water
main into South Vine street would cost
| SIS, with recommendation that the
request OF petitioners be granted. The
| report was accepted and the work will
be pushed forward.
| The committee on lights submitted a
report on the dark conditions existing
on Prospect street and recommended that
a strong Tungsten lamp be placed on
the street below the ID. Bassett farm.
Alderman Brown said that it was a
dark place, indeed, and that it was with
difficulty that the committee found its
way back. The recommendations were
adopted and the light will be installed
at the point mentioned. The proprietors
of the Pearl street Rathskeller asked
permission to swing an electrically
lighted globe from their place of bus
mess. The matter was referred TO the
street committee.
City Clerk Mackay brought the matter
of a leaky roof over the old city build
ing before the council and said that the
condition had been reported to him by
a member of the painters union. Al
derman Brown thought that the build
ing had been a source of continual ex-
x ~ hu .i+ tn u
nally referred to the property commit
tee. The clerk then read the written
permission of Agnes Williams and Mad
cline Williams allowing the city to ex-
tend its sewer line through their prop
erty near the C. w. Melcher stone
shed.
A resolution was introduced asking
for resuryey of the Washington street
line. II is said that an uncertainty ex-
lists as to the exact location OF the
street limits, and it has recently devel-
oped that a survey of the lines is not
in existence. 1t was urged in the reso.
luton that the survey be made from
Church street to Richardson street. The
matter came before the street commit
tee when one OF the members noticed
the narrowness of the highway in places.
The resolution was not adopted, but
the matter was left with the committee
of the whole to investigate the street
next Saturday afternoon.
A second resolution had to do with
the removal of an electric light pole |
standing at present in front OF the new
federal building. Mayor Thurston stat.
ed that a satisfactory agreement had
been reached with Inspector Nealy last |
fall. The latter had been recalled to |
ID. c., however, and the !
matter now hung fire. He wished to |
clear the strip of poles before the side
walks We're put in place near the new
The resolution called for a
conference with the present inspector.

MONTPELIER.
Attack of Hiccoughs Proved Fatal to
Henry B. Daley.

Rev. Herbert Stebbins, who was with
Richeson at the time of his electrocu-
tion, was former pastor of Montpelier
and attended the public schools here.
His mother was local dressmaker. For
several years Mr.. Stebbins has been
chaplain of the Charlestown state prison
Henry b. Daley died yesterday from
hiccoughs which had lasted from the even
| ing before, which physicians were UNI
able to control and HIS heart was too
weak to stand the strain. Mr. Daley
had been working for the street depart
ment and caught cold, which resulted
in chill and started the hiccoughs. He
was born in Montpelier, June 81, 1870,
the son of Benz. and Alvira Daley, and
had always lived here. He was educated
in the public schools and seminary Of
this city, In 1892 he married Emma
Revett of Malone, N. H., who survives
him; also his father, Benjamin Daley;
a sister, Mrs. NJ A. Pratt of st. Louis,
and half sister, Sarah Daley of This
city. For number of years, until two
years ago, Mr.. Daley had run truck
ing business, and had been member
of the fire department for 10 years.
The funeral viii be held tomorrow, with
interment in Green Mount cemetery.
Cooking is to be introduced in the
public schools next year and a teacher
viii be provided. The equipment OF
the woman's club, which was used when
the club taught two classes of high
school girls last year, will be used for
the new venture.
Laura 0rdway Of this city and Samuel
JOSEPH Abare of Concord, N. H., were
married at the latter place Saturday.
by City Clerk Chamberlain.
Odell Mason, who has been disabled
for over year by an accident to one
leg when he fell under car in the
Central Vermont yard here, had another
piece of bone removed from his leg yes
terday. and It is believed the wound win
now heal.
The funeral Of Mrs. William George
was held yesterday from the home Of
her brother, L. B. Warren, yesterday,
Rev. s. f. Bloomfield officiating. The
bearers were Frank, Asa and w. r..

The pole is to be moved stipulated
distance away from the hydrant in
that vicinity.
At this iuncture, Alderman Dawson
asked the street committee what had
been done toward improving the side
walks on Main street. Alderman Ward
stated in explanation that the work
would be taken up as soon as possible.
City Clerk Mackay brought up the ques-
ton of disposition of floor space when
the postofiice shall have been housed
in its new quarters. He thought that
this change would take place in a
month. A motion was carried TO the eft
feet that the matter should be left with
the property committee.
Mayor Thurston brought up the fact
that the railroad company had thus far
failed to complete it's part of the agree
ment entered into when the river bed
project was launched. As result of the
mayors suggestion the clerk was in
structed to ask the railroad company
to take steps toward fulfilling it's part
OF the agreement so that the improve
ments in the section of the river bed and
the Barre railroad could be considered
completed.
Alex. Anderson of Hill street, whose
wife fell and suffered an injury on the
walk near the Spaulding street entrance
to Washington street last winter, pre-
scented bill for physicians services
amounting to s2l. 1t was explained by
a council member that the city had
paid a sum promised when the accident
took place, and that no further payment
could be ordered without the signature
of the overseer of the poor on the bill.
1t was contended that Mr.. Anderson
did not employ the city physician, as
instructed, and that the city had already
recompensed the nurse who cared for the
mans wife in her time of trouble. Mr..
Anderson's reply was that be thought
that the aldermen were "fooling" when
they instructed him to engage the serv-
ices of the city physician. Shortly aft
err $3.50 o'clock, the council went into
executive session.
