Killed by Auto m O bile.

Boston, Nov. 12.-Capt. George E.
Goodrich, twice postmaster at Fitchburg
and one time colonel in the State militia,
was struck and killed by an automobile
on Hanover street late yesterday. Rob-
ert Smith, chauffeur, who was driving
the car, was arrested and charged with
assault and battery, Captain Goodrich's
injuries not resulting fatally until some
time after the accident.
Captain Goodrich was born in Stowe,
IA years ago. He served during the Civil
war as captain of the Twenty-first
Massachusetts infantry. After the war
he was for two terms postmaster at
Fitchburg and served as colonel in the
State Militia. For several years he had
lived in the soldiers home at Chelsea.
He leaves widow and three children

WHEN THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

Out in Nebraska the next United
States senator has been chosen by the
people, and after the machinery of
election is carried through he will take
his seat. And this time, as Nebraska
has adopted the Oregon plan, it happens
that a Democratic Legislature will
choose George w. Norris, who is a
Republican, to the upper branch.
Nnety-fve per cent, of the candidates
for the Legislature, in accordance with
the plan, signed statement No. L.
which provides that, in the event of
their election, they will vote for the
candidate for United States senator
who secures the preference vote of the
people.
This is the plan Bay State Progress
sives urged on the 1912 Legislature,
which the Republican Legislature re-
fused and proposes again to tppose even
in modified form.
The result in Nebraska shows how
completely it eliminates Senate con.
test as basis of choice of legislators
and how the people, if they wish, may
elect Legislature under control of one
party and still get a senator of another
if the majority prefers to honor him. =

MORE WAR CLOUDS.

The greater the success of the Balkan
allies, the more difficult will be the ar
rangement of peace terms. This is
forshadowed ominously in the report
that Austria has warned Servia that she
need expect in the settlement no road
to the Adriatic sea.
What Turkey would like to save is
the least of the problems to be settled.
The sweeping success of the Balkan
league may at any time percipitate a
great conflict over the partition of all
the Turkish territory in Europe. The
Macedonian problem is treated already
as side issue, the only certainty being
that Turkey has lost all that land and
the inhabitants whom she has squeezed,
pillaged, tortured for so many years
retribution swift and sure for her
savagery and butchery.
And the land-hunger and selfshness
of the powers are revealed all the more
strikingly as the nations who for years
have refused to prevent>slaughter are
almost at swords points over the dis
tribution of the territory won by the
allies. Boston Journal.

The income tax has carried the coun-
try Overwhelmingly, and it will remain
for the Democrats to complete the work
which the Republicans began by levy
ing an excise tax on corporations.
Other State Legislatures now re-
garded as doubtful regarding the
measure, such as those in Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania, may also vote in its
favor before the next Congress comes
in. The subject was comparatively free
from political partizanship when Con-
gress accepted the joint resolution pro-
posing the amendment three years ago.
The vote in the Senate was unanimous,
and in the House it stood 317 to ID.
So that it looks as if the proposal tc
vest Congress with the right to clay
and collect taxes on incomes, from
whatever source derived" will be en-.
acted into law as article No. 16 of the
constitutional amendments and thus
become one of the earliest achieve
ments of the sixty-third Congress. =

Young Woman Struck and Injured
by Auto m bile.

Margaret Quinn, 18 years old, of ls9
Walnut avenue, Roxbury, was knocked
down and severely injured by an auto
mobile owned by Benjamin Ferguson
and operated by Angus Mcdonald at
the junction of Humboldt avenue and
Monroe street, Roxbury, about last
evening.
The accident happened when the
young woman crossed the road in the
path of the machine and owing to the
bad condition of the street the chauf-
feur was unable to bring his car to a
stop in time to avoid hitting her. She
was taken to the City hospital, where
it was found she had sustained bad
scalp wound and propably was in
ternally injured.

Secreted Body.

Glenrock, N. Y, Oct. 20.-An auto
mobile containing three women and
three men killed George Price, a con-
tractor here, last night and after the
men had carried the body into the woods
at the side of the road, they entered the
car and put on full speed ahead.
A nine-year-old boy, who was near
by, saw the accident and watched the
automobiles as they tossed the body to
the road side and rode away.
He at once told the local authorities
and the police of nearby places were
notified, but the party escaped.

THE ONE-TERM PLEDGE.

The Democrats of the country ex-
pres full confidence that Wilson will set
about fulfilling without delay the pro-
gram to which the party was pledged
by its convention utterances. They
omit to mention only one on the list.
That is the plan in which the Democracy
pledged itself without qualification to
secure an amendment to the constitu-
ton limiting the occupancy of the Of
flee of President to a single term. Is
this inspiration of Mr.. Bryan so soon to
be forgotten?- Boston Journal.

AUNT JANE MAKES GOOD.

Aunt Jane has been tried and not
found wanting. Aunt Jane is the name
of the first 14-inch gun to be owned by
Uncle Sam. Ten of these military
monsters are to be turreted abroad the
new superdreadnoughts New York and
Texas, and when these mighty ships
sail out around the seven seas not an
other leviathan afioat will be able to
withstand their fire. For the 14-inch
gun has range of seven miles and
more, as shown at the Sandy Hook
proving grounds on Monday, and no
armor yet made at the Bethlehem plant
or at Essen, where the Krupp steel is
manufactured, can resist the 750-pound
projectile hurled by this marvellous gun
up to $4,000 yards.
The experts who witnessed the
christening" of the gun were enthu-
siastic over the performance. British
eyes will open, for over in the tight
little isle it has been held that the
13.5-inch gun was the limit; but the trial
will encourage the Germans, who are
talking of building a 15-inch cannon.
Meantime the United States can rest
content for the time being with the
knowledge that it has the most power
full weapon in existence ready for the
most powerful warship. Boston Jour.

APPROACH OF THE INCOME TAX

Income tax legislation will be one of
the first and most important matters to
confront Congress after Wilson's in
auguration. The proposed amendment
to the constitution has been ratified by
thirty-four States. With two more
States in line the necessary three
quarters vote will be achieved, and
those two votes are already in sight
among the Legislatures due to take
action on the amendment before the
first of next March. Delaware and
New Jersey, with their Democratic
Legislatures, would suffice to turn the

FUTURE ASSURED.

Frazer Metzger of Vermont said:
'Progressives over the entire country
have reason to be highly elated. The
party is established. Its appeal has
met with remarkable response. Men
and women everywhere recognize it as
a righteous and patriotic movement.
''Its future is assured by reason of
its constituency, made up by men who
have allied themselves with the cause
for the sake of the good they can do.
It's future is further assured because
its program is fundamentally correct
and meets the needs of the day as the
platform of no other party does.
The close of the campaign is the
beginning of effort for the Progressive
party. Members of the party are
everywhere hopeful and determined.
The struggle has developed strength,
Our organization must be and will be
maintained in every State and county in
the Union.
"Strong men will lend themselves tc
active politics, for unselfish citizens
never had greater opportunity to be-
come factors in the political life of their
State and nation than that offered by
the Progressive movement.
Every man must be in his place anc
no man in the way. With malice to-
ward none and charity for all, we mus
work with all men of like aims who

are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wash
ington. The vote of any three of these,
and of almost any two, would have
given Roosevelt the nomination.
The votes of Washington and Cali
fornia were votes given in direct pri-
mary. But in each case the power
determined to defeat the progressive
wing of the party seated the delegates
they wanted in the convention. The
voters have passed on their action with

KILLED BY AN AUTO.
Florence Mary milne Meets Sad
Death in Her Home

Florence Mary Milne, the seven-year-
old daughter of Mrs. Ellen Milne of
1863 Washington street, Barre, was run
down by an automobile and almost in
stantly killed this week. The accident
happened nearly in front of the little
girls home, about 1910 p. m. when
after eating her dinner, she got ready
for school and upon putting on a new
dress asked her mothers permission to
go to the home of her grandmother,
Mrs. Anne Robertson, to show her new
dress before going to school.
Soon the mother heard her cries in
the street as she was struck by the
auto, owned by H. B. Partridge of East
Barre. A number of persons ran to
the girls assistance and she was car
ried into the house. DIR. o. G. Stick
ney was called but she lived only
about 10 minutes after being picked up.
The physician said death was caused by
injuries about the back and shoulders.
The car which was driven by Mr..
Partridge's son was coming down Wash
ington street when the child went into
the road. Mr.. Partridge, who with
his wife was in the car, shouted to the
child, who was some distance ahead of
the machine. 1t is thought she became
confused, and before the driver could
stop his machine, the front of the car
struck her.

THE HONOR ROLL OF TEN.

From this time forward in ten States
of the forty-eight, women as well as
men will share in the privilege and duty
of the franchise, instead of six, as be-
fore. 1t is a tremendous stride in
advance. More States have declared
for equal suffrage this year than have
taken this step in the nineteen years
previous. twas then that Colorado in
cluded women as voters, Wyoming
having stood alone. The roll of equal
suffrage States, with the date of the
recognition of justice to the women,
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1912-11-15

From this time on the advance should
be even more rapid. The great Pro-
gressive party, now the second of the
national parties, has made the cause CT
the women it's own, believing that in
the nation over no step will be of greater
power in securing equal opportunity and
social justice. The Eastern States have
Jagged in according women the equal
share that must come, where the State
is regarded, as fairly as in the home.
The far West has taken the lead and,
based on the practical test of experience,
has proved the soundness and real value
of the extension of the franchise. And
now the new impulse from this election,
with its definite results, must hasten
strongly the spread of the movement.
The record of Nov. 5, 1912, will have an
effect that reaches far into the future,
not only on the States that have taken
their place on this roll, but on the
others which still wait to act. Boston
