The Womans Christian Temperance
Union met with Mrs. H. E. Randall
last Tuesday afternoon with good
attendance of members and guests.
The topic for the after noon was
Scientific Temperance instruction and
the Roll Call. Sayings of prominent
Educators brought a responce of Quo
tations from the thought of men and
women who have given their best
effort to the success of the work.
The selected reading on The Boy
of Tomorrow by Mrs. Morong was
much enjoyed; as was Mrs. Rawson's
piano solo. This being the afternoon
for the rece ption of teachers, Mrs
E. M. Bartlett in few we'll chosen
words, welcomed the teachers, stat
ing the pleasure of the w. C. T. U.
in their presence, and expressing the
| appreciation of their work as in
structors as we'll as the training in
moral principals, which make for the
character building in the pupil.
! Mr.. Forte, principal of the High
School responded. and gave a very
interesting talk on the work done in
the schools, urging the necessity of
cooperation between the parents and
teachers: that the best results may be
obtained in giving the pupil practical
instruction in the principals that
make for good efficient citizens.
Miss LaRoche gave two humorous
selections in her pleasing way, after
which the Table Talk on Character
Building in the Public Schools was
discussed by the parents and teach
ers present. Mrs. Quimby's song
The Cory Dance was much enjoyed.
The w. G. T. U. voted to visit the
schools in a body. The hostess
served dainty refreshments and a
social time was enjoyed. The meet
ing closed with the w. C. T. U. bene-
diction.

WILSON WINS
BY BIG MAJORITY

Woodrow Wilson and the Demo-
Gratis won at the polls Tuesday by an
overwhelming majority.
The vote cast was record-breaker
for numbers and was held in as states;
not only president and vice-president
were elected but in 80 states govern
ors and state tickets were elected and
legislatures chosen who later will
elect 80 senators.
429 of the number of the House
were elected, all except in Maine
amp 2 in Vermont which were chosen
last September.
Not only did the tremendous tri-
angular presidential contest arouse
intense interest but in many states
important referendum questions
were decided.
Women voted in several states and
in several others the question of
equal suffrage was one of the issues
to be voted on.
There are 531 votes in the electoral
college this year. The winner has to
get at least 266. Wilson has them.

Mrs. John r. Morse

On Sunday Morning, November 8,
at s o'clock, Mrs. John r. Morse,
aged 78 years, 5 months and II days.
Mrs. Morse had been i'll for over two
years, and yet during that time she
would rally and be able to do her
work. She passed peacefully into
the other world on Sunday morning
while lying in her son Icons arms.
She was conscious to the last and a
few moments before the end came
she called her family around her, and
and said "You have kept me
good while but you cannot keep me
any longer" Her last words were,
Good bye, want to go home"
Mrs. Morse came from Merlington,
Que, over half a century ago, and
settled in the town Of Brighton. She
has had her home on Derby street
for over fifty years. SO Mrs. Morse
was one of the old landmarks of the
town.
No one can live in small COM
munity for over half a century with
out noting many changes in develop
ment, in losses, in civil, social, re-
ligious and political life.
She was ever an industrious, hard
working woman, and one that loved
her family. During the last months
of her life her faith in God was very
marked.
Her husband, John r. and her two
sons, Freddie and George have pre-
ceded her to the other world.
She is survived by three children,
Perry j. of New Hampshire, Leon A.
and daughter Helen both of Island
Pond.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, January 23.-
Rutherford Page, the young aviator, who
was killed by fall of $50 feet yester-
day. at the third international aviation
meet here. made good his declaration
that he would beat Lincoln Beachy, ac-
cording to official announcement today.
The time in the five-mile handicap
| event showed that Page won in min
utes, 81 % seconds: Hoffman, second,
653: Beachy. third, 6.55.
Page was endeavOring to turn on
pivot" when the swell of air over the
hangar caught his planes. He made an
effort to regain his balance, but evidently
| fearing the aeroplane was beyond con-
troll, gave up, and when about sixty feet
| in the air jumped clear of the machine.
and fell fiat upon the p1Owed ground. Ac-
cording to the doctors he was crushed to
death.
First Flight as Licensed Aviator.
Page was flying for the first time as a
| licensed aviator. having received his Ii
cense Saturday. In the first heat of the
fve-mile handicap. in which he and Lin
coin Beachy, the Curtiss veteran, were
the contestants, Page thrilled the crowd
by his sensational maneuvers. All the
dips and sharp turns made by Beachey
were duplicated by Page, who was even
more daring.
The more experienced aviators shook
their heads when they witnessed Pages
apparently foolhardy evolutions. and
when he descended Glenn Curtiss eau
toned him against attempting to perform
such feats.
Would Beat or Break Fool Neck.
Page laughed, and assured Curtiss that
he was "all to the good" During the
afternoon the young New Yorker had
told those about the hangers that he
would beat Beachey, .'or break my fool
neck"
Page was graduated from Yale last
year and was member Of the Yale Club
Of New York. About six weeks ago he
joined the Curtiss camp at San Diego.
| where he received his first instructions
in flying.
Glenn H. Curtiss declared Pages death
was due to lack of experience and his
extreme daring.

Pinchot on Conservation.
Clifford Pinchot, before introducing SEN
ator La Toilette. spoke about the 'conSer-
walton movement and the progressive
movement. which he said were the two
great parallel movements which today
were in possession of the public mind.
Each of them he said, was so simple, 80
sound and so certain to prevail that IL
was only natural to find them both TAX
ing their rise from the same great princi-
pie. that of making the best use OF what
we have for the general welfare, now and
hereafter.
Mr.. Pinchot spoke about the waste az
natural resources. the flagrant waste in
the relation between capital AID iabor
and the waste i'm politics. which. he said.
worst of all. for 1t perpetuated ali
other wastes by blocking the road To bet
ter things. He continued:
1.-THE existence OF the boss system, the
scandalous alliance between the bosses
and the special interests for purposes OF
profit, the Reputation of their own po-
litical integrity by the rubber stamp vot-
ers. who follow corrupt leaders I'm blind
obedience. the exs.ltation OF party above
principle-all these make for waste and
loss of political power and popular rights.
and inevitably bring with them the long
train of evils in government with which
this country Is but too familiar.
Launches La Toilette Boom.
Mr. Pinchot then described the career
of Senator La Toilette and launched the
presidential boom by saying:
Il had come to believe deeply I'm the
progressive movement. So. long before
me, had the man 1 am describing. Our
common interest drew US together.
AT that time the most We hoped to
accomplish was to prevent the nomifa
ton of a reactionary. We all believed
that the man who made the fight might
win the fight for the movement, but that
he could not win the nomination for him
self At that time II was clear to us all
that the man who went into this conflict
as leader would have less chance for the
nomination than he would If he kept out
of it. know of my own knowledge that
when the man of whom 1 speak allowed
his name to be used as a candidate he
did not expect to win the nomination.
and that Is one reason why know that
he is fighting for q cause and principle
and not for a man.
That was the condition OF affairs some
months ago. Now We know that the
man who, for the sake of principle, was
willing to volunteer i'm a forlorn hope has
a good chance to capture the fortress.

Matter of transportation.

The report also takes notice Of trans
portation lines-railways. steamship lines,
ETC., owned by corporations ana concerns
engaged in steel production, stating that
in the case OF the steel corporation the
ore rates on its two roads nave been ex-
cessive.
The report says:

return, they not only benefit the cor
poration by high profit on the ore Of

The report does not so into the matter
of suggesting remedies for existing con-
ditions, but simply points these condi-
tions out and allows conclusions to be
drawn from the very comprehensive
showings. both in text and In hgures.
