EPTEM BIER, 1913, sees the com

 The locks have been well called ''an elevator system for ships" This ex- press1on is taken from recent book entitled "The Americans In Panama '' which gives the cost of the locks at s58,OOo,0oo and goes on to say:

Returning TO the intimation that YER

to the state.
With the position of secretary of

him to take up the work efficiently.

An Amazing Course.

Capt. Augustus p. Gardner, one of the
defeated candidates for governor on Tues
day, gave out statement last night an
nouncing that he was in the field for the
Republican nomination of 1914, and that
he would soon resign his seat in congress
as an evidence of his seriousness in the
quest. This is worse than Mr.. Walkers
course last year in leaving the party.
Capt. Gardner has made thoroughly
effective representative and should re-
main in congress. He carried his district
last Tuesday with great majority, and
his seat in the House is seemingly secure
as long as he wants to occupy it. But
he is not available as state wide can.

managed 1t. His relations with other
leaders of the party were inexcusable.
He should not seek another nomination.
If he persists in doing so, the party
should feel obliged--out of loyalty TO its
own higher interests-to decline to graf
ify his ambition.
1t is now too early to say in what
direction the Republican party should
look for its next years candidate. Sufi-

TRYING TO BRIGHTEN WHITMAN

TRYING TO BRIGHTEN WHITMAN
District Attorney Whitman of New
York has again been made the target for
threats of personal harm and political
humiliation if he continues to investi-
gate the allegations of graft in political
contributions, enc sample Of the threats
being as follows:
"You call this thing off. Why, you
don't know what you are doing. Ii you
keep this thing up you will have your
best friends mixed up in it before long.
1t will mean the end of Charles S. Whit
man."
This sort of thing simply spurs Whit
man on to renewed activities, and the
sender of that message, as well as the
senders of similar epistles, is likely to
find that the present district attorney is
not man to be frightened by the cow
ardly attacks from anonymous sources.
Moreover, the increase in the number of
threats ought to encourage Whitman to

CURRENT COMMENT


Don't be fooled. The talk about TAX
ing either Gates or Bailey from the po-
sitions that they are now filling to the
manifest benefit of the state, is simply
the speculations of adroit politicians
who want to benefit their particular
party and have it win. The people want
these men where they are now doing
effective work and where they want to
be let alone to work out the great prob.
lens connected with that work, for the
benefit of Vermont. Those who are adj
vocating the nomination of either of
these men, as party candidates, for gov
ernor are not their friends but men seek
ing their own selfish ends.--Morrisville
Messenger.
There is some truth in the intimatioh
that Vermont cannot afford to lose
Gates or Bailey from their present po-
sitions, but The Monitor has little pa
thence with the statement that the talk
of these men for governor is merely the
scheme of politicians seeking their own
selfish ends. That's the cheapest kind
of political talk and The Messenger
ought TO be ashamed of itself for that
assertion. If The Messenger has in mind
any more capable men, men who have
