Further weight is lent to this pre-
diction by the dissatisfaction preva-
lent in labor circles over this treat
ment by Vermonts senators and one
congressman on the eight hour bill
and other matters affecting labor. The

upon the result except through the
note Of discord he has injected into
the Republican ranks by reason of his
espousal of the Prohibition cause. and
his popularity with the Changers
The Real Fight.
The big fight, it may be said, lies
between the Republicans, Progressives
and Democrats with the most inter
estinE portion of this three cornered
publicanism. Roosevelt has attained
great popularity with a considera bic
portion of the G. o. P. electorate. but
is cordially hated by the other mem
bers of the Republican faith. Taft,
on the other hand, is anathema to the
Roosevelt Republicans. and these two
divisions of the once c. o. P. have in
dulged in the most bitter prediction
campaign personalities.
These exchanges of pleasantries were
most heated during the past week
when Col. Roosevelt circled the state
and spoke at Rutland Middle bury, Bur
lington. Barre. White River Junction
and Bellows Falls. To convert the as
sertions of the doughty colonel the
Republican national committee sent a
galaxy of campaign stars to camp
upon his trail. Among these were
Borah, Watson, Townsend. Foss, Of
Illinois; Mccall, Bachelor, Yates and
others
Each of the three leading parties de
termined to get out a record vote on
Tuesday and to this end Instituted con-
tests for town representatives in VII
lagos and hamlets throughout the
state, in addition to fostering parti-
sanism by prediction literature of the
most heated type. It is expected, there
fore, that the record poll of Vermont

of 1908 will be at least equaled if not
beaten by the ballot register on Sep

Safer Ships SO Years Ago
By CHARLES FERGUSON.

} Walker shows that some of the Eng
lish ships, such as the Mauritania and
the LuSitania; and some of the Ger
man ships, such as the Kronprinzessin
Cecilie, are vastly superior to the Ii
tanic and have indeed attained a high
degree of safety in construction. But
none of them is so free from danger
of laundering in case of collision as
was the Great Eastern. And none of
them is equal in this respect TO a first
class modern battleship.
The Titanic was built in strict &C
cordance with English board of trade
rules, but, as Mr. Walker says, The
board of trade many years ago framed
a set of rules in which the safety re-
quirements were cut down to such a
low limit that the question of a ships
surviving a serious collision was re-
duced to a mere gamble with fate"
On August 81, 1852, the Great East
ern came to her anchorage in Flushing
Bay under her own steam with a thou
sand passengers. She had scraped the
rocks at Montauk Point and had a
hole in her bottom so feet long. Prob
which sank the Titanic. But the Great
Eastern had a double skin, while the
Titanic had not The Great Eastern
had longitudinal bulkheads and a water
tight deck above her so water tight
compartments. The Titanic had only
verse bulkheads: they reached only ten
feet above the waterline, and the deck
above them was not watertight
Why should not the law require that
transoceanic passenger ships clearing
from American ports should be raised
established by the Great Eastern half
a century ago2 Why should they not
be made as unsuitable as battleships
are?

THE AMERICAN ISSUE
Beer Drinking Decreasing

The growing tendency of the man
of less than moderate means to cut
out beer for buttermilk, is said by
federal revenue agents to be respon
sible for the loss Of 100000 in revc.
nue. this year as compared with the
last, says The Leader of Cheyenne,
and for the additional fact that Colo
RADIO and Wyoming drank 1852 bar
rels of beer less in eight months from
July I, 1911, to February I, 1912.
Had the revenue department de-
pended on an income from malt and
spirituous liquors, it would be in a
sorry plight owing to the decrease
There are three distinct reasons
why the revenue has fallen off:
First-There is a marked increase
in temperance sentiment throughout
the entire state, perceptible in all of
our cities and towns. 1t is the fruit
from the seed sown by our w. c. T.
u. and other temperance organiza-
tons during the last three or four
years.
Second = The laws prohibiting the
sale of liquor in any but incorporated
cities and towns make it very hard
for the sheep-camps and little places
off from the railroads to procure
drink The class of people found in
these form a large per cent of the
population of Wyoming.
Thrd-The officials of the state in
the last three years have attempted to
stop the illegal sale of liquor, debar
ring the club-houses from selling it,
also prohibiting its sale in the red
light districts.
Thus are we being led on to larger
things for our state. "a little leaven

Some Interesting Facts Regarding

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical an
alysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are do
ing their work properly, the other org
and cannot be brought back to health
and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected Or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1870 in the state of New
York alone, Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health Of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence Of
this preparation is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of cures.
