Democrats point to the outcome of
Tuesdays special election in the 18th
district of Massachusetts, as an important
bit of evidence that people throughout
the country are not frightened about the
proposed tariff reduction as some polite
ians are trying to make out. John J.
Mitchell, Democrat, won over A. II. Cut
ting, Republican, and Norman H. White,
Progressive, by a plurality approximating
1000 And a feature of the election was
the falling off in the Republican vote,
Cuttings total being only S,S43 compared
with total of 1884 for Congressman
Weeks last November. Mitchell ran
strongly throughout the district, carrying
the Republican stronghold of Newton and
nearly capturing Brookline. He has some
previous congressional experience, being
elected in 1910 to fill out the unexpired
term of Representative Tirrell. The
Progressive vote fell off slightly from that
of last November, but Bull Moose leaders
profess to be we'll satisfied with the re
suit.

When the spring cleanup takes hold
in Brattleboro it is hoped that somebody
or some organization will see that the
glen on Elm street receives a thorough
cleaning. Last year the Civic Improve
ment league installed a bubbling fountain
and cement settee there, but they are
hardly fitting comparisons with the dead
trees, broken railing at the side OF the
pathway and the bill-decorated sheds shat
are in tumbledown condition. y spot that
might be pretty, especially as viewed
from the higher ground on Canal street,
is allowed to be an eyesore to all who
pass that way, probably because no one
considers it his or her business to see
that it is really cleaned up and made
what it should be in the way of attrac-
tiveness.

What was the name of the man who
disappeared from the Retreat num-
Der of years ago and was thought for
long time to be dead, and then
afterward showed up in a town north
of here?
Probably the person referred to was
the late Arden Humphrey of Ludlow.
Humphrey began working at the Re
treat as a farm hand in July, 1888.
His father and mother then lived in
Baltimore, Vt. On the evening of June
25, 1889, he left the farmers hall as
the others were preparing for bed.
Next morning, as his room had not
been occupied, Humphreys s father
was notified by telegraph. 1t was
thought he either had run away or
drowned himself. The late Senator Red
field Proctor, then secretary of war,
had the army searched, thinking that
Humphrey might have enlisted. Incited
by suggestions of their friends the
Humphreys began to suspect that Ar
den had obtained secret information
about the institution and therefore had
! been foully dealt with. The House OF
Representatives in 1890 passed a reso
/ luton to have the Retreat, then known
as the Vermont asylum, investigated
| to find out whether any persons haC
been killed there whose deaths haC
not been reported, but the Senate kill
ed the resolution. All kinds of vague
stories We're circulated and in 1902 tn,
legislature took NO the matter again
and the committee on insane visited
the institution, canvassed the who'll
subject and finally recommended tina
the petition for an investigation b.
dismissed Meantime the asylum off
Gals stood ready to do everything
possible to facilitate a search of tn
premises. On Nov. IA, 1898, nearl.
four and a half years after his disaT
pearance, Humphrey returned to hi
parents, who then lived in Rutland
He said he spent four years lumberin
on the Pacific coast in British Colun
bia. He gave no reason for runnin
away. He studied law and became
/ successful practitioner in LUDLOW
' where he died late in March, 1907.

In its efforts to guard against damage
from forest fires the Massachusetts Fores-
try association promulgates SIX rules
which are sensible and salutary, and APP
plicable wherever there is forest land.
They are as follows:
Never toss away burning matches,
cigars, cigarettes or pipe ashes.
Never start fire in the woods
Never start a fire in the moss Or peat
of a dry bog.
Never leave a fire until it is surely out
Never attempt to burn brush in a
clearing during a dry time and under nc
consideration during windy day.
Never when in an automobile party
throw lighted matches or cigars by the
roadside

Protecting the Birds.
(Rutland News.)

The Hardwick Gazette thinks that the
feature of the new Vermont game code,
which provides that unnaturalized persons
living in this state must take out non
resident licenses in order to hunt, even
though they may have resided in Yer
mont or long time, will work hard
ship on many foreign hunters and is an
unfair measure The Gazette has lost
sight of the very purpose for which this
phase of the law is intended-an end
for which the Rutland County Fish and
Game league has been working. 1t has
long been advocated that the best way to
protect many of our song and insectivor-
Gus birds, which are of inestimable value
to the farmer, is to put stop to hunt
ing by ignorant foreigners, many of whom
kill for food birds which an American
gunner would not think of shooting. Au
thorities state that in some parts of the
country aliens kill more robins and other
beneficial birds than the house cat anG
all other destructive influences put to
gether.

VIII you please give the history of
the Red Cross Christmas seal?
The Christmas seal idea was the re-
suit of agitation for the raising of
funds to conduct educational cam
paigns to instruct the public at large
in guarding against the spreading or
tuberculosis, and also for the purpose
of providing proper medical attention
for those afflicted with the plague.
Among many plans offered the Red
Cross adopted probably the most eff
feetive one, the small, stamp-liEe seals
to be placed on sale in postofices and
to be attached to the backs of letters.
No doubt the Red Cross headquarters
at Washington would be able to sup
ply detailed account of the Christ
mas seal campaigns.

BOY SCOUTS CLEANING Up.

OF which is to encourage people to kill
flies, whereby they lose sight of the
only efficient method Of diminishing
the pest-that is. cleaning up their
breeding places Professor Herms
stated that in one town a good cam
paign had been interrupted by the sub
stitution of fly swatting' for clean
ing up.
Our good friends the newspapers
Ito which the committee realizes its
deep Indebtedness for the publicity
which has made the fly fighting cam
paign so signally successful thus farI
can do far better work this year than
they did last summer. Instead of in
stituting fly killing contests, which
sometimes have the result of simulat-
ing the breeding of flies by enterpris-
ing contestants, let them give prizes
for clean back yards, we'll screened
stables, covered garbage cans, or, if
their journalistic ingenuity is not
equal to the task of making such prize
contests serve the purpose of the cir
culation department, let them at least
urge in their news and editorial col
umns. even more than they have done
before, the starvation plan Of cam

Vermont Awakening.
(Rutland News

There are unmistakable signs of an in
dustrial awakening in many parts of Yer
mont. 1t is no secrete that several cities
and villages of the state, including
primarily Rutland have been showing in
recent years unprecedented growth in
manufacturing. Brattleboro, Bennington,
Springfield, Barre and other places have
also greatly quickened their pace.
The prospect is pleasing It indi-
Gates that Nermonters are not only
awakening themselves to Vermont's re-
sources and possibilities IN manufac-
ture, but that keen business eyes out
side the state are lighting on Vermont as
place of great opportunities

Fly Killing Contests Harmful.

The fly fighting committee through
its chairman, Edward Hatch, Jr., also
says:
Il sincerely hope there may be no
more fy killing contests. They were
useful when the public needed to be
stirred up to a realization of the dead
ly activities of the fly, and their sue
cess as an advertisement OF the move
ment has been immense, but they have
served their purpose, and now that the
people are generally enlightened as to
the nature of the fly pest they do
actual harm by clouding the real issue
Of determination.
This is the opinion of Professor
Herms of the University of California,
who has been interested in the anti
fly campaigns in a number of Califor-
MIA towns. He and his scientific asso-
ciates feel that the work has been
hampered this year by the prevalence
of fly swatting campaigns, the result

Seven Important Rules.

The fly fighting committee of the
American Civic association has issued
the following seven rules for starting
and conducting an anti-1y campaign
which will be advantageous in a case
of this sort:
l. Educational work should be begun at
once in schools, women's clubs and other
civic organizations. because if you wait
until the flies appear in the spring they
will be multiplying by the million while
you are doing organization work that
ought to have been done during the cold
weather. This committee, as in former
years. will cooperate with local commit
tees. furnishing literature and answering
questions as to methods of individual
campaigns, etc.
2. In your movements for passing of
general cleanup and anti-hy ordinances
first secure the interest Of the state health
department If you find difficulty in doins
this by mere force of suggestion employ
other legitimate means of stirring them
to action-petiuons from local or state or
CARNATIONS boards of trade. women's
clubs. town Improvement societies. etc. If
the head of the state health service is not
cordially cooperating with you he can be
shamed into it.
8. Employ similar tactics. If necessary.

other officials of your city or town.
l. Get ordinances passed Estate If posi-

foodstuffs. the chemical treatment and re-

sanitary manner possible. We hereby
agree to keep our windows and doors
properly screened, to keep all food
fruit. meat and bakery goods screened
and to keep fly traps set-in short, 10
do our part in helping rid the town OF
our enemy the fly.

This is an excellent plan. The pub
'ished list not only induces others K
sign the card. but also spurs them Il
greater efforts.

Good Work by Women.

It Is also a field of endeavor where
women can really help. This was
clearly demonstrated in Spencer, Ia.
where the Women's club inaugurated
one of the most satisfactory campaigns
of the season. They first distributed
a letter setting forth their aims and
how they might be attained to every
house in town. At the same time let
tiers were sent to the mayor and alder
men telling them of the work and ask
ing them to use their influence TO pro-
tect citizens from the evils of insani-
tary conditions.
The mayor fell in with the plan at
once, issuing a notice that all premises
must be carefully cleaned and backing
up this order to the limit of his au-
thority. Thus was Spencer trans
formed into n veritable ''spotless town"
and made a desert to the deadly fly.
This Is an instance of what the weak
er sex can accomplish. The boys and
girls have also performed nobly in the
fight and deserve great deal Of credit
The boy scouts in many towns have
formed the nucleus for sweeping re-
form. and the same applies to various
campfire girl clubs and church aux
iliaries.
Every one can help somewhere. Co
operation is the basis of success in
everything. and so long rs one narrow
minded member Of community is al
( lowed to lag behind and maintain an
/ Eden for the filthy fly upon his prem
/ iSes, just so long will that community
continue to be subject to discomfort,
4 disease and death.
Insects In League With Death.

This is splendid advice TO follow.

is lukewarm in the prosecution of offend

the magistrates refuse to impose fines for
proved violations make it uncomfortable

8. Colorado and Texas have instituted

proclamation to set aside a day for such
a purpose. and if he cannot be induced TO
do so-but he probably can If proper rep
reservations are made to hinl-at least get
your mayor to proclaim a local Cleanup
day.
6. If you must have "iy swatting" con-
tests to stimulate interest in your local
campaign let them be held as early in the
spring as possible, while there are COM
paratively few flies. If you could find and
kill all the spring fiies-as of course you
cannot-there would be none to trouble
you in the summer.
Z. Be careful to brush up any files that
may be lying around with their feet up in
the air. looking as if they were dead.
They may be playing possum. The only
safe way Is to burn them. Do not throw
them out or into the garbage can. as they
will become active as soon as the temper
ature rises.
