spired by L RS recent visit to our
State.
The Bull Moose Male Quartet sang
a selection beginning with the first
line of the poem and ending: We're
ready for Teddy again. boys"

Winooski, VI, Sept 3.
Our Theodore.
{ With apologies to the Bull Moose
qudrtet).
Once more, once more we've seen our
Theodore. y
He struck a strenuous gait through the
Green Mountain State
From historic Bennington he made a
century run
And the air was full of noise and the
brave Green Mountain Boys
Early came and waited long and some
fellows sang this song
with all their might and main.
Once more, once more we've heard our
Theodore
And we know he's going to bust every
blooming, bloody trust.
Every boss and politician will soon seek
new position
And the base, conspiring press will wake
up in quite mess
tLa D,,I II
When the folks take up the song /:
"We're ready for Teddy again, boys, .
old Bill Taft will have pain.
Once more, once more we cheer our
Theodore
While the covering party boss, like the
wild rhinoceros,
And the lion and the bear, takes a sneak
into his lair
And Penrose and Archbold feel their
feet are growing cold
And the man who told lie, shivers
when he passes by;
And the great Progressive throng join
to sing the victors song
"We're ready for Teddy again, boys, !"
from ev'ry hill and plain.
Once more, once more thus says our
Theodore :
lhere am talr 0iVlde come over
on MY side.
The Barons, Coal and Beef, will shortly
come to grief,
And Morgan and old Rock will get a
mighty shock
They will take another tack when rip
things up the back
And you'll be rich some day if you only
go MY way.
Simply holler loud and long ; Everybody
shout the song
Were ready for Teddy again, boys, "
the most popular refrain"
Once more, once more has gone our
Theodore!
But Wilson and Bill Taft, with all their
crews of graft,
Are done for this time, sure we have
found the only cure.
We will vote for the Big Stick, and sal
vation's coming quick;
We will vote for Theodore, and lOe mont
loork any more.
Wealth for all in great supply will just
rain down from the sky.
''We are ready for Teddy again, boys
when we have all gone insane.

Taken simply by itself the CORES
pondence given the senate might not
be highly damaging No doubt there
were many worse offences than those
committed by the harvester trust.
When all trusts existed in violation of
the sherman law as then construed
the old administration might have
been pardoned for its leniency in the
instance cited. The disclosures wont
help Taft because he was then a mem
Der of the Roosevelt cabinet and ap-
proved of the action taken, so the col
onel asserts.
The worst feature about the dis
closures made comes from the evil
dent present day friendship between
the Morgan interests and the Roose-
welt campaign. 1t is certain an i'm
mense amount of coin is being spent
to bring about the nomination of
Roosevelt over Taft. 1t is also pretty
plain where that money is coming
from. 1t is from the Morgan crowd
if one is to judge by surface indica-
tions. George W. Perkins, Medin
Mccormack and Dan Hanna, all steel
and harvester men, are openly fight
ing for Roosevelt, Just what does
tbis OaaDo
But one question is not enough. An
enormous amount of cash is also be-
ing spent in behalf of Taft's candi-
dacy. What particular trust or trusts
furnish that money and what will
they get out of it?
1t is also evident that the monied
men are not confining their efforts
to the republican camp. Some dem
ocratic candidates for the presidency
are also carrying on expensive cam
| paigns. Where does that money come
from? We We're told some months
ago that Woodrow Wilson had re-
fused money from Ryan. Is that
waged on Wilson during the past few
months? Did the Ryan money look
alright to the Harmon, Clark, Under.

Is this government a republic and

is a presidential campaign a mere
poker game between a few rich men
with the advantage always in favor
OF the man with the biggest pile?
If the row keeps on and sufficient
disclosures are made perhaps we will
find out.

WHO MAY VOTE IN CHINA.

Mr.. Ng Poon Chew, a Chinese edi-

devised by the revolutionary leaders
for the government of q Chinese re-
public is different from the govern

WHAT SORT OF A GAME Is IT?

An interesting feature of the Taft
Roosevelt fight was the giving to the
senate Wednesday of the confidential
correspondence of the Roosevelt ad
ministration relating to the prosecu-
ton of the harvester trust.
In substance the correspondence
shows that the former administration
began steps towards the prosecution
of the harvester trust but let the mat
ter drop when George w. Perkins,
threatened fight if the prosecution
was carried out.
In defense Of the Roosevelt admin
istration is the claim by the COM
missioner of corporations that the Of
fence by the harvester trust was
tchnical and that the Morgan inter-
ests had taken a very liberal and ad-
vanced stand with reference to pub
lcity of their affairs and in cooper
ating with the government when in
vestigations were underway In other
words it would not be right to prose
cute that trust because If it had been
violating the law by giving rebates II
was very square and open about II
1t was willing to be good when shown
its misdeeds.

Smart little frocks of cotton ratine
are throwing the sturdy linens into
the shade. One of these frocks, made
of gray cotton ratine woven with
white, was shown in an exclusive
window the other day. The frock
was belted with narrow belt of
black patent leather, and had large
white crochet buttons down the front
More white buttons emphasized a
coat-tail arrangemnt at the back, and
there was an effective collar of white
ratine lace. the coarse heavy lace in
worsted effect. A white hat, green
parasol and white buttoned buckskin
boots were placed beside the gray
| frock.
With the three-quarter sleeve now
prevalent, long gloves are required
and these gloves are often of soft, yet
rather heavy silk, embroidered on
the wrist in floral or cameo effect
Sometimes the embroideries are done
in one color and sometimes in con-
trasting OF two-tone effect.

Governor West differs radically
from the attorney general on the sub
ject of whether or not delegates to
the national conventions must abide
by the popular choice of their party
voters in this state regarding presi-
Dental candidates. The governor is
right if common honesty enters at all
into the formation of legal opinion
these days.

Frogs of silk braid, silk crochet
covered silken discs and other fany
fastenings are exceedingly popular,
Small wonder! They go far toward
the establishment of afternoon coats.
They are especially good looking on
garments of double-faced silk wolfe,
as two tones of contrasting colors may
be effectively intermingled in the
twisted braids or silk cords.

Very attractive collars for wear
with linen and lingerie frocks may be
made of wide embroidery flouncing,
the embroidery being mitered into a
sharp point at the back so that the
collar reaches to the waistline, where
it should be pinned fast to give trim,
neat lines. At the front the collar
may be pointed or cut in square ends,
and at the V-shaped neck opening
should be placed the flat bow of
lark velvet or ribbon now so fashion

A few of the new gowns show wide

THE REALM FEMININE

The sailor hats have brought back
into fashion the large Mercury wings
in either white or black, and these
are seen fastened to the low rounded
crowns in front. at the back, or sides,
as taste dictates. Many of these
snaps show a straw lining of a con-
trasting color, although white lined
with black straw is the favorite and
probably will continue to be.
1t is the fad of the moment that
wells match the hat or its trimmings,
and this fashion has brought out all
scrts of odd colorings and an infin-
ite number of new designs. The real
Parisienne departs seldom from the
dotted veil, for she has found that
with these there is rarely mistake to
be made on the. score of its being
flattering. The dotted wells, both in
moderate size and small, are seen,
and in meshes of different degrees of
thickness.
To tone down some of these colored
wells there is another one worn be-
meath, this being in plain tulle with
quite an open mesh. This lower veil
need not necessarily be white or a
pal eshade, but instead they are often
in yellow, dark blue, and even black.
Some women also are wearing two
wells, both dotted, the one with large
dots far apart next the face, while
above will be seen a veil showing tiny
dots set close together.

The Kinston Garage.

The Kinston Garage is probably the
largest and best equipped establishment
of Its kind in this section OF the coun-
try. Every facility for taking care of
and rejuyenating the broken down auto
mobile can be found here. A corps of
men, skilled in the motor car profession.
are employed. these men being qualified
to entirely rebuild a car. if necessary.
This garage is the agency for the cele-
brated Hudson cars. made in Detroit and
designed by the foremost automobile en-
gineers in the world. II is said that II
all motor cars were as we'll constructed
as the Hudson. the garage business would
not yield the great profit it does. A man
buying an automobile wants to be assur-
ed of service after his purchase Is made
that's why the Hudson was built
