Mr.. Prouty in a public letter recently
declared that Senator Dillingham; had
opposed all efforts for the reform and
control of railroads. Mr.. Dillingham
has replied that he has supported every
measure of railroad reform that has been
before the senate. This leaves it ques-
ton of veracity and it is easy to imagine
where a question of veracity between
these two gentlemen would leave Mr..
Prouty. The Boston Record in speaking
of this controversy sizes up the two
gentlemen as follows:
The only thing Mr.. Prouty has made
clear is that he, personally, wants to be-
come United States Senator from Yer.
mont. He has aslo seen fit to attack
Senator Dillingham's record, and therein
lies his greatest blunder. 1t is unfair,
and he offered no proof in support of his
contentious. Senator Dillingham; is one
of the ablest men in the Senate today. He
is most conscientious worker for. the
real cause OF the people. Heis, however.
no demagogue. Vermont should be
proud to return William P. Dillingham;

There is much sound reason why i'm
ported goods should raise rapidly in
price, because they must become scarce
and finally stop coming here altogether.
Let them put up the imported prices as
high as they please. That will not seri-
ously affect the cost of living in the
United States. But to raise the price of
food when it is OVERLOOKING in produc-
ton and abundance is crime that the
government must check now effectively,
or attack with vigorous methods per-
haps when it is too late In times of
peril the government takes command,
and what greater peril can overtake the
people Of this country than enforced idle
ness aud starvation? These are the two
chief terrors that now confront our coun-
try. ldleness and hunger are worse than
war and may lead to more disasterous
consequences.

Poorly Endorsed

From Essex Junction. the home of the
Burlington Clipper comes the following !:
He has the endorsement Of Colonel
Roosevelt which ought to show that he
is safe man to trust with the peoples
interest. Vermont will make history
with Mr.. Prouty in the Senate and the
progressive party will show it's loyalty
to the commonwealth by furthering his
candidacy in every way.
If Vermont history is to pause in the
making until Prouty replaces Dillingham;
we might as well go into the almanac
business as once for Vermonters will
never agree to this charge. There is a
vast difference in the characteristics of the
two men. and the difference is in favor of
Mr. Dillingham;. Mr., Dillingham; is a
statesman whose convictions are as
firmly founded as the rock of Gibraltar
and no political question or crises would
shake him from his poise. Prouty has
recently made it clear to all that he is
unstable. Hard-headed Vermonters we'll
recognize that he is not to be relied upon
in crisis. He vacillates he huctuates
he wavers-and finally acts on Roose-
velt's advice The road to Essex Junction
is mighty crooked and perhaps the news
failed to reach there that Roosevelt's en-.
dorsement was of very little consequence
in politics today. This fact is spread
broadcast over all the rest Of Vermont
and if the Clipper lived in a fairly access
sible spot it would have read the hand
writing on the wall and kept Roosevelt's
name out of it's argument.-Brandon

Benton, told to reporters here yes

statements given out Saturday at
Juarez.
The Juarez statement declared
that when Benton reached toward
his hip pocket, Villa knocked him
down with a blow of his fist. Villa
said that when Benton made this
move he poked his own pistol into
Benton's stomach and then turned
him over to the guards.
Benton's Mission Pretext
Villa insisted that Benton came to
take his life and referred to Ben
tons mission concerning the welfare
of his ranch as a "pretext" to gain
admittance.
the verdict of the court-martial con-
fessed his guilt and declined to ask
for mercy. He merely requested
that his property be turned over to
his widow.
Villa contradicted his official re-
port to the American consul at Jua-
reZ that Gustav Bauch. the German
American accused of being a spy,
had been brought to Chihuahua. Viii
la said he knew nothing of him.
Homage Paid to Villa
The rebel general yesterday re-
ceievei the homage of his officers
and prominent citizens at the guber-
natorial palace.
He sat in a high backed gilded
chair in the big chamber of delegates
beneath a canopy of deep red velvet
embroidered in gold, looking on the
scene from wide set, glowing black
eyes, saying but little. A medal was
presented to him by those of his men
who have followed him since the Ma
dero revolution three years ago
| when he forsook his outlawry and
blossomed into a militant patriot.

But Served Prison Terms in Two

Also Alfred served a fouryear SEN

from the other.
One twin grew up prosperous, re-

former was punished.
These Oliver twins were born 40

dressed alike, acted alike, and were

When nine years old. they were

Louis stepped on tin can, and the
big toe on his left foot was cut off.
Then Parents Die
Not long after. their parents died
and Louis was taken by family
named Harding. Alfred lived with

moved away with Louis, the twin
brother with nine toes. He had been

Louis c. Oliver, he became Louis c.
