ed with an "odd malady" which defes
diagnosis and which might threaten to
spread through summer visitors to that
region, is not apparent; but it is known
that the story is absolutely false. Those
of us who reside in the central and
northern region of Vermont know that
the statement is entirely unfounded as
far as Vermont is concerned and doubt
less the same position is taken by the
people of northern New Hampshire. The
Bridgeport newspaper asserted with all
| display OF confidence that the disease
appeared late last autumn and has per
sisted with great virulence"; moreover,
| it appears suddenly, manifesting its
presence with a constant dry, hacking
cough that persists day and night, for
from two to three weeks, giving the vic
tim no chance to rest and sapping the
vitality through loss of sleep" Further
more, declares the story, where the
cough has been broken up too suddenly,
other diseases appear, tuberculosis
among them"
| If there ever was tissue of fabrica-
ton, it is contained in the article which
the Bridgeport newspaper has given pub
Lefty to. Epidemic of that sort there is
none; indeed, there is no epidemic of
serious disease in any section of the re-
gion referred to by the contemporary.
And as for sporadic cases of the nature
mentioned in the article, the state boards
of health of both New Hampshire and
Vermont, which keep in close touch with
health conditions about their respective
state. deny all knowledge; and it is very
certain that were such "odd maladies'
developed they would be reported at once
to the boards in authority for investiga-
ton. No such reports having been sub
mitted, no newspapers having reported
any strange and virulent disease and the
people of northern New Hampshire and
Vermont not having any knowledge of
the presence of such an epidemic. it is
reasonable to assume that the Bridge
port contemporaries story was founded
on falsehood and perhaps published with
malice Whatever the reason for the
publishing of such a wild story, the con-
temporary ought in all fairness to give
publicity to the statement of the New
Hampshire and Vermont state boards OF
health, denying the presence of a disease
of the nature mentioned in the original
story. Moreover the contemporary is
morally bounden to make a retraction
promptly As a journal whose purpose
is to give the accurate presentation of
things, it will, we feel sure, make what
amends i can for the wrong done its
sister states.

No Progressive Bosses.

The stand-pat press is endeayoring to
show that the Progressive party in YER
mont is controlled by bosses. and that
the chief mogul is DIR. H. Nelson jack
son of Burlington, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee. This is actually an
insult to the intelligence of the reading
public The Republican newspapers of
this state are SO used TO the boss sys-
tenn that they know no other method
and they are TO be pited rather than
excused for their ignorance. Boss sys-
tenn has prevailed in Vermont so long
that it is hard to make some people be-
lieve that any other method can endure
with a political party The excuse Civ
en- for the charge that the Progressive
party is boss-ridden is that DR.. Jack
son has had conferences with several
proposed candidates for the governor
ship Of the Progressives.
This paper can state positively that
no one has been offered a Progressive
nomination for any office. There is no
one in authority who can offer nomina-
tionS-that is a matter which will be
entirely left with the members of the
Progressive party at later time And
above all, DR.. Jackson would be the
last person in the party to assume such
power.
Suggestions by the score are coming
to the headquarters of the Progressive
party of candidates for about nearly
every office on the ticket, and it is anus.
ing to note the source from which they
come, 1t is fact that nearly every
name brought up is that Of straight
oldtim Republican whose letters are
tied to the G. 0. p oligarchy And it
is fact that the ones suggesting these
But they have not reckoned with DR..
Republicans who claim to be in sym
pathy with the Progressive movement
In other words, the Republicans are try
ing to put over" men of their own par
ty on the Progressive ticket Can you
beat it," 1t is a pretty slick game of
politics these Republican tricksters are
playing. They are determined that their
policies shall win, no matter which par
ty succeeds.
It is true that Dr.Jackson has had con-

spotted" the game and some other
method will now have to be Matched
up.
1t is true that DR.. Jackson has had
ference with prospective candidates for
Office in the party he represents but in
no way has any nomination been ten
dered. No one who knows DIR. Jackson
and the high ideals he stands for would
charge him with being party to the
high handed methods that have brought
the Republican party into disrepute. His
conferences with prospective candidates
have been solely in the interest of the
party as whole 4 has been decided
by the Progressive state committee that
only actual and true Progressives shall
have place on the ticket to be voted for
at the election this fall.
DIR. Jackson's conferences have been
strictly in the nature OF finding out
just how these prospective candidates
stand in regard to the Progressive plat
form. The members of the party have
right to know these facts and il is
part OF the duties OF the executive
committee to find out. This plan is sim
ply to guard against the nomination of
candidates who are not in sympathy
with the Progressive movement.
1t is unfair to charge DIR. Jackson
with attempting to dictate Progressive
nominations, and the newspapers that
make the charge are stating that which
they know to be untrue.-Burlingto

question must be settled. And in the
light of simple justice it is absurd, be
cause more than half the Ulster coun-
ties take their stand with the rest Of
Ireland in favor OF national home rule.
The government proposes to test the
assertion that ulster" is against the
home rule bill, by letting the electors
OF each Ulster county decide by vote
whether their county shall accept the
plan of the bill or be excluded from its
operation during the first six years OF
the Irish Parliament, Counties that vote
for exclusion will have their wish for
that period, and will see from the out
side the working of the national gov
eminent from which they have cut them
selves off. 1t is hoped they will see
such equity and prosperity as shall make
them eager to become again an integral
part of the Irish nation, sharing in all
the responsibilities and benefits of its
legislative and administrative autonomy.
But ii they still think exclusion desir.
able they will have two opportunities
to convince the United Kingdom and the
imperial Parliament, as there viii be
two general elections before the expiry
of the six-year period The offer is a
fair one It's refusal would be a grave
mistake.--Boston Herald

Progress and Progressiveness.

"Vermont's Reactionaries" and Yer
mont's Progressives" are the descriptive
headlines placed by his enemies and
friends, respectively, over Governor
Fletcher's Manchester utterances on the
Vermont political situation.
The Herald is not particularly pleased
with either OF the designations
As it pointed out some time ago, there
are times when certain amount of re-
action is necessary and when blind, un-
needing progressiyeness should be re.
strained.
A return to prosperous Republican con
ditions and a rirm check on the an
nounced intention of politicians to ad-
dress themselves to further marrying
of business should not at this time be
considered political but merely ordinary
business Judgment.
What Governor Fletcher really said
was that Vermont is progressive, and
The Herald believes he used it in its
broadcast sense.
With that proposition every true Yer
monter must agree, and it is further true
that the few-the very few Vermont
ers--who in this age of progress insist
on winking at official misconduct and
extravaganza and deriding all proposals
Of reform win be hopelessly swept into
the wake of civilization and left behind
On this proposition there can be no
division, and such opinions are not pro.
gressive nor reactionary, not Democratic
nor Republican, but sound, patriotic bus.

CURRENT COMMENT
Home Rule Compromise.

The Unionist majority in the House
of Lords has now the promised oppor-
tunity to consider the governments con.
cession of a compromise on the Ulster
question. I'm the House of Commons
more than three months ago the pre-
mier stated what the concession would
be. But that was only an informal
statement in the course of debate, and
therefore no action for acceptance or re-
lection could be taken upon it by either
house Now the judgment of Parla.
ment is requested on the offer of com.
promise, the government having for this
purpose put il into the form of a def
mite legislative proposal and made it
supplementary TO the home rule bill.
Florid and iniammatory oratory on the
public platform may be continued for
time by those who wish to prevent a
reasonable agreement, but the parlis-
mentary call is for careful deliberation
in order to arrive at a settlement by
consent.
1t should be clearly understood that
the proposed compromise is the govern
ment's answer to the Unionist demand
that the province of Ulster shall be en-
tirely and permanently excluded from
the operation of the coming system OF
Irish self-government. To grant that
demand would be to wreck the national
system favored by a great majority Of
the nation, and substitute sectional
one which would keep the Irish ques-
ton burning issue in the politics OF
the United Kingdom. The minority de-
msnd is insdmissible, if only because the

THE RELIEF OF SALEM.

In the shadow of such great calamities
as the Salem fire, when thousands are
not only depressed over personal loss
but also are suffering acutely from the
deprivation occasioned thereby, CLEAN
of sunlight pierces the gloom in the man
Hesitation OF the brotherIy feeling OF
ands, yes, millions of people read of the
trials through which the people of Salem
passed during day and a night by rea-
son of great devastation by fire and ere
the ink fairly became dry on the face of
the newspaper that told the tale, the
inpouring of relief in the shape of cloth
ing, food, shelter, tents and money had
begun. By early Friday morning the
roads leading to the partially ruined city
were filled with carts and other vehicles
carrying things to meet the material
wants of the afflicted people; and all
through the day the stream of loaded We
hcles continued, each bringing its share
of relief material. And most of it was
free-free to be distributed among those
actually impoverished and needy as the
result of the fires sweep.
So much for the immediate response
to the needs of the people. Later-by
necessity later-the movement for sue
cor took shape in circles more removed
from the stricken city. In Boston, for
instance, the sum of ST, 400 was raised
in 20 minutes at a meeting in the State
House, the money to De applied prompt
ly toward alienation of the suffering.
Other smaller cities in the immediate
neighborhood took up the work, supple
menting their generosity in sending fire
fighting equipment when the fire was at
its height by money and other contribu-
tions. And not only did individuals re-
spond promptly; the railroads volun
teered to carry provisions, shelter tents,
etc, to Salem free of charge. Other cor
porations awoke to the needs of the
time and contributed generously to tn
relief funds. And, too, came the Red
Cross society, its chief director hasten
ing from Washington to the Massachu
sets city, to take part in the work Of
distribution. Countless other indications
there must have been also to show that
the great heart of the public beats in
sympathy with those who are afflicted
by great catastrophe. Therefore, in
the midst of the gloom at Salem there
was ray of stropg, cheering light.
