Communication

Tothe Editor of The Benner:-
If we believed the straw votes pub
lished in your paper we would ex-
pect Mr.. Roosevelt to carry Benning
ton by a large majority. If we had
relied on the noise before the Sept
ember election we would have expect
ed Progressive success in town. IN
stead of that, the party ran a bad
third. | have been independent in
town and state affairs, but have al
ways stood by the Republican party
on National issues. | was born in
Vermont, brought up in it, and ex-
pect to die in it.
When he has had every office in the
gift of the party, assistant secretary
of the navy, governor of New YORK
vice-president and president and then
tries to rend the party
asunder and runit from mo-
tives of personal ambition, It
reminds me of Shakespeare's saying
in King Lear, regarding ingratitude,
"How sharper than a serpents tooth. "
II any baseness deserved defeat, be
lieve it is that of this Benedict Ar
mold of the republican party, who
strives to sell his birth right and that
of his fellow citizens for mess OF
trust pottage. The veto by President
Taft of the 40 per cent tariff reduc-
ton on wool and wooden goods, in
GLIDING knit goods, saved the indus
tries of Bennington and insured EN-
ployment to our citizens, and ] be
lieve its gratitude will be shown in
rousing vote of appreciation.
Yours Sincerely,

BENNINGTON, VT. OCT. 81, 1912

At the Progressive state headquar-
ters at Montpelier the leaders of that
party now claim that the state OF Yer
innate gives Roosevelt about 10000
next Tuesday. They claim at least
% 900 for Roosevelt and figure that
Taft and Wilson will get about 2O,OOO
each. Prominent Democrats at The
CAPITAL claim that Wilson Will get
% 600 votes in the state and their es-
innate give Roosevelt about 2o''oo
and Taft 1000. Both the Democrats
and Progressives feel sure that the
Taft vote in the state is not coming
ont next Tuesday, owing TO the apa-
thy that prevails. The Republican
state committee estimates Tart vote
Of $4,000 in the state and conceues
Roosevelt and Wilson about 2o'Ooo
Zach The closeness of the estimates
sbows the importance of every voter
getting out, as the vote that usuaily
STAYS at home will easily control the
election if it gets to the polls. 1t VIII
he seen that the figures given by the
various committees are based on a
total vote of not over $4,000 In the
state while there are undoubtedly
nearly a hundred thousand voters In
the state qualified to vote. There Is
no excuse for staying at home this
wear.

with analogous symptoms, but which

Newer than either Of these is aero

The Hiohest Railway.

For thirty-nine years the highest rail-
way In the world was the Oroya line In
Peru. which at one place reaches an al
titude of 1884 meters above sea level.
Passengers who wish to avoid the risk
of mountain sickness in its most ag-
grayated form have to make two or
three stops Of day or two on the way
up. Since July this line has taken sec
ond place. as the new Bolivian railway
which connects Potosi with Rio Mulati
reaches an altitude of 1850 meters. 1t
is not considered likely that this rec
ord will ever be surpassed unless Tibet
is opened to civilization.

WINNING A HIGH JUMP.
Psychological Aspects of One of Our
Victories at Stockholm.

Americas victory in the high jump
at Stockholm was especially interesting
because of its psychology. AS James K.
sullivan tells the story In Outing, the
stars of the American team one by one
dropped out until, when the bar was
moved to a height of six feet four
inches, only Richards, a youth from
Utah, and Licsche of Germany were
left. The German had cleared the bar
on his first effort every time and looked
TO be the winner.
At this stage Richards had the first
jump. Everybody thought he would
take a great deal Of time and care, as
he had been compelled TO make two or
three tries before succeeding at every
preceding height. To everybody's sur
prise "he dsdained all preparation.
skipped up to the bar with an easy
run and hoped over 1t with full two
inches TO spare"
Instantly Licsche became intensely
excited. He made his preparations
nervously, went up to the bar and
missed A second time he tried and
missed again. Richards. however, In
common with everybody else, expected
him to get over on his third attempt
and was running about TO keep his legs
supple.
just as the German was ready for his
final effort a pistol was fired for the
start OF race. This so disconnected
him that he waited until the race was
over. Then he got ready again. This
time the band began to play. and once
more he refused to jump. After nine
minutes of this series Of delays one Of
the Swedish officials stepped up and
asked him TO hurry. This was the last
straw In another minute Licsche ran
at the bar and made a botch of his only
remaining try.

Window shades.

When buying window shades get an
extra set Of catches. Put one set at
the usual place. the other about a foot
lower. In cold weather hang the
shades on the lower catches and leave
the window down from the top. This
gives perfect ventilation and prevents
the shades from blowing about.

CRIMSON CLOVER

The use OF crimson clover throughout
The Middle Atlantic and Southern States
has Increased enormously in the past few
Years, due to the fact thai it is unques-
tionably one OF the most valuable crops
Tor late summer and fall seeding.
Crimson clover in addition to its great
value as IA soil improver, makes splen-
lIi winter cover crop, excellent grazing
during the late fail winter and early
spring, and is one of the earliest, best
and most nutritious crops that can be
put in for cutting for early green feed.
Crimson clover also makes ii iirst-c class
hay crop, provided it is cut just as 1t is
coming inlo bloom, before the seed
forms. 1t can be used for any OF these
purposes, gra ing, early green feed or
hay, and even then the condition and
prOductiveness of the land will be i'm
proved to a wonderful extent wherever
it is grown.
