the Stanley investigating committee.
Carnegie lined up with the antitrust
views of Theodore Roosevelt as against
the trust dissolution plans of President
Taft. The little ironmaster engaged in
n lengthy argument on the theory of the
control of the trusts and with enthuiastic
gestures declared for the control and
regulation of the large trust units by the
government.
I'm the solution of this trust problem"
said Carnegie, there are two lines Of
thought In this country. One is the idea
of President Taft, that these big corpo-
ra tions should be broken up and dissolved.
The other. as expressed by former Presi-
dent Roosevelt, 10 that under the exist
ing law we should look to the recognition
Of these large units under careful, close,
governmental regulation"
I'm which of these classes do you find
yourself?" he was asked.
~ know the views of Mr.. Roosevelt,
and / agree with them," the witness an
swered II think for the present that we
should allow large business organizat tions
to continue. You should pass laws regu-
lating these corporations, and then wait
to see what further legislation is neces-

When Mr.. Carnegie was excused he rose
and, addressing the committee, he said:
Il part with the hope that you will fol-

80 HURT IN RAILROAD WRECK
Big Four's Detroit-cincnnati Express
Jumps Track In Ohio and Cars
Go over Embankment.

Carey, O.-While speeding down
grade 40 miles an hour the De-
troit-Cincnnati Big Four flyer was
wrecked three miles north of here, 32
passengers being injured, two prob
ably fatally. A spread rail is said to
have caused the disaster.
w. H. Haskin of Detroit and John
Moonshook, a Hungarian, are the most
seriously injured, and attending sur
geons say they probably will die. C.
E. Kelly of Ann Arbor, Mich, and
Bert Mckinley of Middletown, o., also
are said to be in a serious condition.
The flyer, in charge of Conductor
William Caskey, with Engineer Har-
vey Thomas of Springfield at the
throttle, was over half an hour late,
and was attempting to make up time
on the down grade stretch from Ber-
wick south. The train was composed
of three coaches, a combination bag
gage car and smoker, cafe coach and
chair car. Passengers and train
crew agree that the dining car seemed
to leave the track first. 1t was
dragged over the ties for 100 yards be-
fore turning over. The Pullman was
next to roll over, and both were
dragged some distance on their sides
before they broke from the car ahead
and rolled over an embankment.
The scene of the accident is known
as the Base Line crossing, marking
the boundary line between Seneca
10 rd
ed by railroaders as "hoodoo" cross
ing. Two freight wrecks have occur
red in the same spot.

Howard E. Shaw of Stowe, one
of the brightest young business men
of Vermont and a popular member
of the last house of representatives,
is a candidate for delegate to the
national democratic convention in
Baltimore. A. H. Gleason of this
village is another candidate for a
delegate-at-large. These two men
would do credit to the democrats of
Vermont in case they are honored
with these positions

United States senator in Vermont
that compared in the use Of money
and political corruption with the
election of Gov. ]. G. Mccullough
and Gov. John a. Mead. There new
er was so much money spent in the
election of a senator as in the
Proctor-Clement campaign. Yet I'm
these three cases the appeal was
directly to the people and not to the
state legislature. Put the question
to any practical vermonter which he
considers would cost him the most,
an election to the United States SEN
ate by the state legislature or an
election to the governorship by the
people and the great majority Of
them would say the governorship.
Again we state that history proves
the people more susceptible to the
use Of money than their chosen rep
resentatives.
The popular election of senators Is
based on a false premise. Acknowl-
edging that they have sometimes
been deceived in the choice OF rep
.resentative from their own towns
men they assume they would not be
deceived in the choice of some man
with whom they have no personal
acquaintance for the United States
senate. The man who has fraudu-
lent motives does not attempt to
work his scheme upon his neighbors
and life long acquaintances but
rather upon those who know the
least about him. A dishonest ap-
peal for political honor can be more
successfully made to a state wide
constituency than to ones neighbors
and townsmen. The theory that
the people are more capable to vote
in a state election than in a town
election is as fallacious as a claim
by a person who cannot add a col
umn of three figures without making
a mistake that he would be infallible
in adding a column of six figures.
We yield to no one in our desire
for more honest and efficient sena-
tors, men who hold public welfare
above every other interest but we
do not feel that popular elections
will Insure it, We believe on the
contrary that a closer and more act
i've interest by the voter in the cleo
ton Of town representatives and
state senators and effort to elect only
men who will vote according to their
convictions in the state legislative
body is a surer way to secure desir-
ed reforms.

Weeks bill, placing migratory and IN
sectivorous game birds under the
protection Of federal law, and is now
heartily favoring the Wilson. Voca-
/ tional Educational bill, which has
been heard and is now pending be-
fore bis committee.
In these matters, as in many 9TH
ers, he has taken a pronouncedly
prominent, aggressive and progress
siye position. He secured the pas
sage in the House of law providing
for a term of the United States
court at Brattleboro3 secured for
Barre the building of its postoface
out of Barre granite; has a bill
pending carrying a favorable report
from the supervising architect, pro-
viding for the erection of a fire proof
postoffce building at St. Johnsbury
at cost of $4,000; is working to
obtain an additional allowance for
the Brattleboro postofice and court
house, that it may conform to the
conditions required for a regular
term of court at that place; has Sc
cured the establishment of important
r. f. d. routes and is now working
for the establishment of a free de-
livery service in the village of Wind
sor.
He voted against the trade ar
rangement proposed with Canada,
because he could not see in it the
reciprocity favored by Mr.. Blaine
and ex-President Mckinley, and be-
cause he believed a majority of the
republican party in the Second Con-
gressional District were opposed to
it.
The fate of ali measures lies large
ly in the hands of the Committee.
He is member of the committee
on War Claims and of the Commit
tee on Agriculture, than which last
named committee there is none more
important; is recognized as one of
the able and coming men of the
House, has demonstrated his in
dependence and his progressive
ideas, and is considered an aggres-
sive and constructive legislator by
his colleagues.
His is a record which is open to
nv esLlgauon, is one which in itself
and reflects great credit on Mr..
ne represents.
He is and has been a Republican
and as such was nominated by a Re
publican convention. To the dis
charge of his duties as representative
he has brought legislative expert
ence, the high order of intelligence,
sound mature and able judgment
which he is known to possess, and
the same conscientious purpose to
discharge faithfully every duty,
which has been his rule of life.
His record is the best reason for
his retention in congress. He is,
and when again elected will con-
tinue to be an honor to his state
and be better able than ever to
serve the people of this District.

Vermont Politics.

The preliminary steps to the or
ganization of the Vermont Progress
sive Republican League is causing
something of an ebullition in the
political pot but does not throw off
much steam as yet. 1t was appar-
ent at the meeting held here last
week that the organization will not
attempt to commit itself to the sup
port of any candidate for governor
nor congress. So it still looks as
though, A NJ fletcher will be the
republican nominee for governor
although there promises to be
more opposition than a few weeks
ago.
In the congressional contest there
seems little likelihood of a change
at this time. Elsewhere we publish
statement in Congressman Plum
| ley's behalf which shows that he has
been open minded and has not voted
or worked against the interests of
his constituents and thus far we
have not heard a charge that he has
betrayed the people in any place.
The fact that the west side of the
state must send a new man to con-
gress next December makes it seem
inadvisable to make a change on
this side just now. Thus far no
man has been seriously considered
whose ability is enough superior to
Mr.. Plumley's to over balance the
value of Mr.. Plumley's experience.
Congressman Plumley will be given
term but there may be a livelier
contest two years from now.
In the lesser state offices there
seems little probability of
change in secretary of state, treas
urer or auditor. 1t looks like R. E.
Brown of Burlington for attorney
general and F. E. Howe of Benning-
ton for lieutenant governor. Mr..
Howe has been careful student of
Vermont affairs and has a good
understanding of conditions and
issues of the day His training as
speaker of the house especially fits
him to preside over the senate. He
has shown himself open-minded
enough and brave enough to ap-
peal to those with progressive"
tendencies while his fairness and
sound judgment will give the more
conservative people confidence in
him. Mr.. Howe has given to every
public position he has held more
than he has taken from it and he
can be depended upon this time to
render honest and efficient service
to the party and the state when he
assumes the position Of lieutenant
governor.

why Savings Banks are Essential.

Why Savings Banks are Essential.
Because people have money to in
vest they are often tempted by de-
signing persons to go into schemes
which, while promising large re-
turns, usually bring disaster
Probably there are no more
shrewd, far-sighted conservative
investors of money than successful
life insurance companies.
They employ expert men-men
who make the study of investments
their life work; who pass upon all
applications for loans and invest
ments; and 1t is a fact which any
one can verify by getting the insur-
ance companies reports, that four to
five per cent interest is all these
companies are able to make their
loans average.
Those schemers who would go to
unsophisticated women or inexperi-
enced men and tell them that they
could just as we'll get six per cent,
as four, well know that if their
schemes were solid, substantial and
safe, they could borrow money by
the million from these life insur-
ance companies.
The Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company of Hyde
Park never takes a note paying over
six per cent.
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six
per cent it turns it down, because
it wants no better evidence that it
is dangerous than the fact that it
offers to pay more than six per
cent
What is the result?
In its more than twenty years of
existence, this bank has never lost
dollar by a poor note.
Safety rather than high rates of
interest" is it's motto; and, knowing
this, depositors, not only from YER
mont, but from every state in the
Union Except three) select the
Hyde Park Bank as a place of de-
post for their savings.
You can send your funds there by
mail with absolute safety, and it is
perfectly safe to send them either in
registered letter, postal money or
der, bank draft, personal check, or
express money order.
During the entire existence of the
Hyde Park Bank, not a dollar sent
to it by mail has ever been lost.
This bank pays four per cent,
compounded semi-annually, and
pays all taxes.
If you want to know all about its
assets, liabilities, management, etc,
address a letter to Carroll S. Page,
President, or F. M Culver, Treasur-
er, Hyde Park, Vermont, asking
therefor, and you will receive
prompt reply.

fertile and the cheapest farming land

FRECKLES.
New Drug That Quickly Removes
These Honey Spots.


There's no longer the slightest
need Of feeling ashamed of your
freckles, as a new drug, othine-
double strength has been discovered
that positively removes these home
ly spots.
Simply get one ounce of othine-
double strength, from w. B. East
man and apply little of it at night,
and in the morning you will see that
even the worst freckIes have begun
to disappear, while the lighter ones
have vanished entirely. 1t is seldom
that more than an ounce is needed to
completely clear the skin and gain
a beautiful clear complexion.
Be sure to ask for the double
strength othine, as this is sold under
guarantee of money back IL it fails
to remove freckles.

The Boston Globe and the Man
chester Union are setting forth the
delectable qualities of Strawberries
in their respective states. The Bos-
ton paper advocates the picking of
perfect specimens from a straw
berry bed, washing the sand off in
a glass of fine champagne, and
sprinkling it with powdered sugar
while the New Hampshire paper
claims the berries in it's state con-
tain all the sequalities in themselv-
es. OF course Vermont has no ber-
ries to brag about just now but we
have found that a very pleasant way
to treat our imported berries is to
wash them in pure Vermont spring
water and then pour enough pure
Vermont maple syrup over them to
take the taste of any other state all
out of them. Suppose you try this
Vermont method and get something
worth eating.

Vermont seems full of troubles.
Now comes William S. Rossiter,
formerly expert and special agent
and chief clerk of the United States
census Office, in a statement that
the consumption of pig products
and sweets in this state must inevi-
tably lead to weakness and disease
and inevitably make our women in
capable of child bearing. This is a
direct blow at maple sugar and
hogs, two of Vermont's sources of
considerable income. 1t emphasizes
however what we have urged in
the past, that more attention be CIV
en- to the production of beef in
this state and we suspect it is not
maple sugar that is doing the mis-
chief but the substitutes that are
used in place of it. 1t does seem
rather bad though to charge the
hogs with the responsibility of our
small families.
