Unquestionably should Mr.. Roosevelt
be elected, he would busy himself again
in looking after the welfare of the
Great Republic as a whole, for he is
built this way, very competent to act
and always uphoding the Peoples
rights.
For these reasons it is, and other of
similar character, that this paper sup
ports Mr.. Roosevelt. We are indirectly
indebted to him now for the establish
Ing of the Morgan Horse Farm in YER
mont, which should prove of great value
to both the State and the Nation; and
had he been President instead of Mr..
Taft, we have reasons to believe that
Vermont would have had one of the
finest National Parks in the Country.
The conditions were that the Pro-
prietor of this paper made the offer
of some 1000 acres of very valu-
able land for such purpose, to the
administration through Secretary Will
son, provided the Government would
meet it half way by furnishing funds to
make the roads and buildings essential
to the development of such Park.
Mr.. Wilson was emphatic both that
the Government should meet the pro-
posal half way, and that it would, from
the funds voted for such purpose by
Congress amounting to $4,000, 900 a
year, for several years, to be divided in
the different States for the preserva-
ton of Forests and water courses.
Instead of such result, or results, it
has been recently stated in prominent
papers that the first insta llment of this
fund was lost, and the second would he
soon, because the purchases were not
made within certain dates, which the
law required. Mr.. Taft in the mean.
time, busted himself with trying to per.
suade the people that he should be re.
elected, this little loss of $4,000 6
year for the want of attention to its
expenditure, being to him apparently
matter of little or no Importance.

DEMOCRATIC REASONS FOR VOT-
ING AGAINST TAFT.

The Democratic national committee
issues pamphlet giving these reasons
why voter should vote against Presi-
dent Taft:
He signed the Payne-Aldrich Tariff
hill, and referred to it as the best tariff
law ever enacted.
He vetoed the Farmers Free List
bill, the Woolens bill and other bills,
reducing excessive tariff duties.
He has failed to take any steps to
lessen the present high cost of living.
He supported Ballinger in his efforts
to turn rich coal deposits in Alaska over
to the Guggenheims.
He has used Federal patronage to
maintain a political machine manipu-
lated in his behalf.
He abandoned his official duties to
enter into an undignified scramble for
denomination.
He failed to support DR.. Wiley in his
administration of the Pure Food law. e
His trust policy has helped the trusts
and brought no relief to the people.
His administration has resulted in
disappointment and failure.
He is a reactionary. Boston Journal.

at present unknown to the police, ran
down little girl in North square Tues
day night and sped off without bother

AEROPlANE VICTIMS REACH
200.
Two Latest Deaths Occur in
Switzerland

Berne, Oct. ia double flying ia
tality occurred yesterday at Chaux-
de Ponds, near Neuchatel.
A Swiss airman named Cobloni was
making flight, carrying newspaper
man named Bippert as a passenger,
when the machine collapsed and fell
from a height of eighty feet. Both
men were killed.
The cause of the accident is not
known.
With the death of Cobloni and Beip-
pert at Berne Tuesday aeroplane ia
talities since aviation began on an
extensive scale in 1908 have now
reached an even 200. 1t was on Sep
TENDER II, 1908, that Orville Wright
made a short flight at Fort Myer,
Virginia, with Lieut.. Thomas E. Sell
fridge as passenger. When the
flight ended the two men were buried
in mass of twisted planes and ma
chinery. Selfridge was killed and
Mr.. Wright was severely injured. That
was the beginning of the long list of
fatalities which have followed mans
attempt to conquer the air in heavier
than air machines.
The aeroplane has made remarkable
strides since 1908, but the number of
fatalities has increased each year,
