Over in Rutland the other night
Hon. John Redmond, of the public
service commission--that vital force
in railroad regulation in Vermont
got after Candidates Howe and Metz

he ground them to pieces. Attorney
General Sargent followed him and
upheld the constitution. He is a
good upholder and it must have
been a fine rally, flattering victory
But the News says the meeting was

On the eve of his whirl through

On the eve of his whirl through
Vermont Colonel Roosevelt makes a
violent attack on ex-senator Ed
munds. which may not add to the
cordially of his reception here. Mr..
Edmunds is still held in high esteem
in the state which he represented
with honor at Washington for many
years, In 1884 he was Rooseyelt's
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation. but the colonel's ambitions
have led him into many changes of
mind and now Mr.. Edmunds, who is
not standing at Armageddon with
the colonel, Perkins and Bill Finn,
is classed as tool of crooked, corpo-
rations and a leader in all kinds of
corruption. Roosevelt threatens to
"tear Vermont OPEN" He has not
made q good beginning.

Town Representative.

Woodstock has to choose between
Pthree candidates for representative
on September 3d--a dilemma which
il 10 hoped the citizens will face with
fortitude and the full voting strength
of the town. Col. F. s. Billings is
again the Republican candidate,
having served the town two years
ago, and The Age believes that
Woodstock will do we'll to return him
to the Legislature More than ever
this year the wisdom of the plan of
re-electing representatives is~being
urged, to the demolition Of the COM
plimentary take-your-turn tradition
that has for session, after session
filed the House with aelot of mex
perienced men whose eager, and
laundering attempts at law-making
are disastrous and expensive for the
state. Colonel Billings has had OK
perience 4; he has profted by it; he
did good work for the town and the
state in the Battle of the Ottau-
quechee." and he can be depended
upon for greater efficiency now that
he has familiaiized himself with the
routine part of the husiness,of law
making. Woodstock had better re-
elect Colonel Billings.

Newark, N. j., August IT,
Editor of the Age:
1 am told that Secretary of State
Bailey published one-of my letters
to him, iii which Ispoke of the nasty
condition of the railroad station at
White River Junction. / am much
pleased that he did this. But / am
also told that more than one news
paper in the state has been 30 dull
as to read into my letter reference
to White River junction village. l
am sure that Mr.. Bailey had no
thought in mind, when he printed a
part of my letter, that it could be
taken by anyone as reference to the
town instead of to the railway sta
ton. The railway station was, of
course, all that had in mind.
White River Junction has a good
as one of the best cared
for Of Vermont towns. The station
itself is something the people of the
community have tried for many years
to make more decent l wish they
had succeeded.

Save your pennies and send them

That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why a,ss
Because il wishes to encourage
the childrento be frugal and to have
a little bank account OF their own,

Children who commence an

The way to become capitalist is
