A Great Lead for the Democrat.

The expected has happened in the 18th
congressional district, where John W.
Weeks left a vacancy when he became
senator from Massachusetts,. in the elec.
ton of John J. Mitchell Of Marlboro, the
Democratic candidate, by a humping
plurality over Alfred L. Cutting, the Re-
given to Mr.. Weeks over Mr. Mitchell at
the regular election.
Senator Weeks did what he could to
prevent the mischief, laboring necessarily
Tor week back, and talking much from
the tariff text "that from the point of
view OF the welfare OF the people of the
state there probably never had been a
more important election" Senator
Lodge sent letter from Washington,
naming many industries in the district
that We're to be very seriously and in
many cases, | think, disastrously" af-
fected by the Democratic tariff measure.
Mr.. Weeks has had phenomenal hold
upon his old district, but its people de-
cided that the tariff contention was not
good for one more member of the ma
tional House of Representatives In other
words, the voters were not ready to adj
minister "rebuke' to the Democratic
party for tariff revision bill which has
not yet been adopted. This sole line of
appeal was not complimentary to the
candidate. So far as this special cleo
ton bears upon the tariff issue, it goes
to demonstrate that among the voters
OF district in which there are many
highly protected industries, no old-fash-
Toned scare" could be worked up.
The result has further general interest
because the Republican candidate, who
was not strikingly strong or popular,
ran well ahead of Norman H. White the
Progressive, who conducted most thor
ough and expensive canvass and who
also pushed the tariff appeal most Wig
orously. He did everything possible to
carry the day. Not only was his cause
reinforced by the fervid eloquence of
Charles s. Bird and Joseph Walker, but |

CURRENT COMMENT
Not st. Johnsbury's Auto Truck.

In giving an account Of a special dis
trict meeting which rescinded by large
ma iority the vote to purchase an auto
mobile fire truck for that village the Lit
Teton Courier says:-"Another thing
that proved convincing was the report
from st. Johnsbury. where they are us
ing such a truck. that the machine be-
came stalled in the mud four hours the
other day after il had started for a
fire" The voters of Littleton were COM
pletely fooled by that report "a it is
made up out of whole cloth. The st.
,Tohnsbury automobile fire truck has not
been stalled in the mud since it was in
stalled here. There have been twenty
four private alarms of fires since the
first day of last January in all parts of
the village and there has not been a
time that the truck and firemen were
hot on the ground inside of five minutes
and generally in from two to three min
utes.
There has not been a large fire in town
during that time but there have been
several that would have been serious

longer There has not been a general
alarm for fire during that time and the

A short trout fisherman was fined in
Brattleboro municipal court yesterday
This is so rare an occurrence-not the
short trout but the tining of short trout
fishermen that it merits more than
passing notice. IT there is law which

trout of less than six inches.

Out in the West
There is a cry
Which reaches East
Across the sky,
An anger call,
Foretells scrap,
Its warning ring,
Beware the Jap
In far Japan
The tingoes shout
And want their force
At once called out
Their cry of wrong
From rank to rank,
As on il rolls,
Beware the Yank.'

This cry and shout
Why not smooth all

The Good From Association Meetings
Now that state conventions are over
let every member who attended try TO
profit by the good suggestions and ideas
advanced. Refresh your memory on
what took place by reading in your
trade paper an account OF the proceed
ings; study the various papers carefully
and If you find helpful hint which
you can adapt TO your own business,
cut il out and paste it in your scrap
book for ready reference. In fact, it is
an excellent idea to clip from various
trade papers any item OF interest, in
dex it under its proper heading, then,
when wanted, you can turn to 1t mn
mediately and not be obliged to look
through file after file in search of the
desired article. The value OF such
scrap book cannot be fully estimated;
it is an encyclopedia representing the
thoughts and experiences OF the best
to be obtained
To those who were unable to attend
their state meet, and to those who have
not as yet awaited themselves of the OPP
portunity to join, we say, 60 and do
likewise" While in measure you lose
the effect of the spirit and enthusiasm
these get together meetings infuse, you
can apply the same principles with the
same good results; but in so doing make
a mental resolve that you will not al
low your brother competitor to bear the
burden while you reap the benefit. Join
your state association. cooperate with
them in every movement for the welfare
Of the trade as whole, and you cannot
but profit by the results which follow.

plicated in the arguments against
manhood suffrage a century ago.
Our democracy is based on the
theory that the average man

death that the public was made
aware that her remarkable novels
were the work Of the well known critic
and essayist. Their style seemed so
Enthusiastically feminine that even
the most astute critics believed that
they were written by woman's band.
Another famous writer. Laurence

and artist, made third and most sue
cessful appearance before the public as

appeared entitled IAN Englishwoman's

praised and all the clubs and literary
circles talked about Who was this
woman who had laid her heart bare?

was, she understood her sex to perfec-
