for I bear in my body the marks of
the Lord Jesus. He spoke of St.
Paul as a man who never relaxed,
never laid down his oars, the ideal
veteran of history, one whose scars
were worthy scars; one who was ia
miliar with his commanders wishes
and knew the nails and the spear.
He said in part:
The sacrifice of the Civil War was
necessary and we would not take it
back but want our boys and girls to
grow up with such courage as the
men of 81 had. We meet tonight to
commemorate their valor, courage
and loyalty. we would not bequeath
the spirit of war to our children but
give them the spirit to emulate the
best in their grandfathers. We can
be as proud of the American soldier
as of any in history whether officer
or private or the mothers and sweet
hearts who remained at home. The
best tribute we can pay to them is to
give our present loyalty to the coun-
try's best interests.
He urged all to treat the corrup-
ton in high places, the senate cham
Der and all public life, in the same
way that the soldier treats a traitor,
by firing a cannon ball of public in
against such as are false
TO their nations welfare. Let US
acquit ourselves like men and rally |
round the flag in the great issues

VERMONT DEMOCRATS
Possible St. JOhnsbury Man viii
Head Their State Ticket.-PIan-
ming for State Convention.

Vermont democrats feel new eour-
age this year and are planning to do
things before the september cleo
ton. The st. Johnstury contingent
is as optimistic as anybody and
have issued call for a democratic
caucus to be held in the town hall,
Tuesday evening, June II, at 7.3O
to elect nine delegates to the state
convention and the second congress
sional district convention which are
to be held in Montpelier, Tuesday,
June 1S.
The delegates from st. Johnsbury
will be solid for A. H. Gelason as
delegates at large to the national
convention to be held in Baltimore. 1t
is not at all impossible that this del
egation will have the honor of nam
ing the head of the democratic state
ticket. If so it will read For Gov
ernor, Harland B. Howe, of st.
Johnsbury. There is no question
that a strong demand exists for Mr.
Howe to accept the nomination and
to make a vigorous campaign but
he has not yet said he would accept
the position.
The democrats plan to make
some changes in their state commit
tee and retire Emory S. Harris of
from the craftsmanship
but have not agreed upon any can
didate yet. o. c. Miller of Newport
can have the place if he will take it,
The democrats are so optimistic
that they feel there is an opportuni-
ty for them to elect a congressman
but they feel a shortage of candi-
dates as many of the able men with |
political ambitions have Joined the
party that has places to deliver.

Cruelty to Horses.

John Jewel who lives near Cole
Corner sent his hired man to the
village last Friday to get a load of
merchandise. The horses were SO
poor and weak that they could not
pull the load and one of them got
down in the road and they were un-

the beast and ordered that the team
be placed in George Cary's farm
barn and cared for. While Mr.. Cary

My dear sir: 1t is with great reluc.
tance that one is drawn into harsh
| criticism of man who is filled with
years and is held in high regard of
many men. On January 30 prepared
a letter to your esteemed paper in de-
Tense of Woodrow Wilson against the
accusations made by Henry Watterson
in statement to the press of January
30. refrained from mailing this let
ter, being under the impression that
Mr.. Watterson had said his last word
on the subject and had ret red to his
retreat in Florida, "beyond the reach
of the telegraph wires,' but the state
ment sent out to the American press
from Florida, reiterating his accusa-
tons OF January 20, and making state
ments of absolute falsity, make it me-
cessary that he be answered.
He charges that there is a Woodrow
Wilson machine backed up by more
money than any machine which has ex-
listed since the days of Mark Hanna
This statement is purely a figment of
his imagination. William F. McComts
the manager of the Wilson campaign,
has a small headquarters at AZ Broad
way, New York City, where six en-
ployes are engaged in answering cor.

ALBERT newman
DIES SATURDAY
Brother Of W. n. Newman, Of
New York, and "Savoyard" Of
Washington - Funeral Held
Sunday Conducted by Mr.. Ben
TauI Leaves Wife and Two
Children.
HAD LONG SPELL OF ILLNESS

After an illness of more than a
year. Albert Newman died at his
home near here Saturday evening
about seven O'Clock. The funeral
was conducted Sunday by his
friend, Mr.. Ben Taul, and the bur
i'll took place in the Larkin-New-
man graveyard. G. w. Hannah,
of this city, was called to take
charge of the body and superin-
tend the burial arrangements.
Mr.. Newman's death was ex-
pected last spring when his bro
Their, w. II. Newman, of New
York, came here to see him. This
was their first meeting after a
separat on of forty-eight years.
When the former was eighteen
years of age his older brother put
him on a boat ut Louisville and
he started down the Ohio to make
his fortune. During the time they
were separated, W. II. Newman
made his way to the office of
president of the New York Office
of president of the New York
Central Lines, eight railroads, and
"Savoyard," another brother of
the deceased, made a name for him
self as a newspaper correspondent
at the National Capital and is the
author of a book.
Albert Newman's life was a
quiet one, but one of satisfaction
and triumph in the end. His
daughter, Miss Margaret Newman,
helped her mother care for him
lovingly and devotedly during his
long illness. They read books to-
gether, they laughed and enjoyed
life,and the last days of the father
will be sweet memories to those
that ministered at his bedside.
Besides the mother and daughter'
he leaves one son. Mr.. Newman
was 81 years of age.
