SLAUGHTER OF CALVES.

chiefly due ito the wholesale slaush-

Railroad Detectives
Are Making Big Money

Richard H. House, appointed county
constable for Brunswick three months
ago. handed his resignation to the
county commissioners at Frederick
on Tuesday. He intimated that a
collision existed among the officers
in that town in regard to making ar
rests for county fees.
He says persons are arrested in
lunches of five and six for stealing
car rides and sent to the House of
Correction in order that the officer
may secure a fee of So for the first
and S. for subsequent convictions.
Often, said Mr.. House, offenders after
being arrested are searched and all
the money they have is taken as
fines. He added that the lob of
railroad detective under this system is
so lucrative that men making as much
as 800 per month are leaving their
work to become detectives at $50 a
month.
Frequently tramps are arrested !.
said, and charged with an offense that
will send them to the House of Cor
rection without the officer making
oath to the charge. The Commission
ers will investigate the charges at
nnce. For some time county fees from
Brunswick have amounted to large
sums.

BIG DECREASE IN
REPUBLICAN VOTE
Continued Iom pag. ID

publican ranks did not extend very
far beyond the head OF the ticket.
FIetcher's Election Assured.
Many towns that showed strong Pro
gressive tendencies sent Republican
representatives to the legislature. so
that the party leaders were early as
sured of substantial majority on
joint ballot for governor, as the fail
ure of candidate to get majority
at the polls throws the election into
the legislature.
Progressive leaders were greatly
pleased with the result. 1t was point
ed out that the party had gone into
the fight with an organization that
was new to politics and was forced to
make up with notable orators what
1t lacked in party management, with
Colonel Roosevelt leading the charge.
Democrats Are Satisfied.
The Democratic managers also de-
rived satisfaction from the early re.
turns, showing as they did decided
gains over two and four years ago.
They also pointed out that these gains
had been made despite the claims of
the Progressive speakers, that the lat
ter party would recruit some of it's
strength from Democrats.
The Prohibition and Socialist vote
did not vary materially from former
years.
Many Republican leaders claimed
that the threatening weather contrib
uted to the falling off in the party vote
These men stated that the registered
vote of Vermont was close to 100000
and that had weather conditions been
fair the party would have rolled up
more than 10000 for Mr. Fletcher.

There are cheaper laundry soaps than
Fels-Naptha but no other SO economical.
Sounds odd doesn't til
But it's true.
Fels-Naptha is more economical be-
cause it saves time, saves work, saves the
cost of fuel and makes your clothes wear
twice as long.
Fels-Naptha cleans your clothes in
cool or lukewarm water in summer or
winter without boiling or hot water to
weaken their fabric, and without hard
rubbing to wear them into holes.
1t takes half as long and requires
much less work than the old way.
Try it next washday.
See how white, and clean, and sweet
Fels-Naptha makes your clothes.
Follow carefully the directions on the
red and green wrapper.
