Senator o'Gorman, chairman

Senator O'Gorman, chairman OF
the committee, decided upon open
sessions at the outset after a con-
ference with his colleagues. Wheth-
err hearings are to be held has not
been decided, but this will be de-
termined when the house repeal
bill and various compromise senate
measures are formally taken up.
How long the committee will de-
liberate on the issue before making
report to the senate no. one would
predict, but administration leaders
let it be known that any effort to
prolong the preliminary considerae
tion would be opposed. even to the
extreme OF moving to discharge the
committee from consideration OF
the subject. Senator 0'Gorman,
leading Democrat opponent Of the
repeal. and others who Join with
him in the fight, still insist. howsv-

a FEW FACTS FOR THE VOTER

Since the present Democratic tariff
law went into effect, our purchases
from foreign nations have increased
| si02 900 900, while our sales abroad
have decreased IN the same time Sl0s,-
| 600 600 We have bought moro and
sold less. and the most Of which we
have bought from abroad should have
been produced at home We have lost
in foreign commerce since this bill
went into effect not less than $780,
600 900. We have donated 10 Canadian
lumbermen In the same period $4,000
600. which Is the amount they contrib
uted to the expense Of our government
during the last year Of Republican
tariff Had they paid the old rate on
what they shipped into this country
during the first eight months Of the
Underwood law. they would have CON
tributed twice S4.000,O0O to this gov
ernment.
With all this sacrifice, the consumer
has not paid one cent less for his ium-
Der. In the same time, $l0,000000
has been given to the Sugar Trust, and
the consumer pays more for his sugar.
To the foreign wool grower, donation
Of $4,000, 900 in duties has been made,
and wooden clothes cost no less than
before The importers of beef and
cattle have been relieved of paying
$4,000 00toward the support of this
government, and the overburdened
taxpayer pays more for his meat.
Now, to make up the deficit thus pro-
duced, and from which the consumer
has received no benefit, the people of
the country are asked in so-called
war revenue" bill to pay direct tax
Of $105 100000, in addition to the tax
burden they are already bearing, at a
time when our nation is at peace with
all the world. Are you going to vote
to continue this kind of Democratic
inefiiicency.

MARK II. WOOSTER INJURED

Last Saturdays Brattleboro Re-
former contained the following item
regarding an old time Manchester
man. Mr.. Wooster made Manchester
a visit a year ago last summer.
mark H. Woster, about 60 years of
age, is in the Memorial hospital in a
serious condition as the result of loss
of blood and exposure. He was found
unconscious late yesterday afternoon,
with most of his body in Little river,
near the covered bridge. On his left
forearm was deep, clean cut that
had severed the big muscles and on his
left wrist was another cut that had
the appearance of having been made
by barbed wire.
"He was taken to house on the
island and DR.. Harry P. Greene was
summoned. He hurried Mr.. Wooster
to the hospital, where he sewed up the
wounds and had hot packs placed
around him in an effort to ward off
serious illness from the exposure.
"Mr. Woster has no idea Of what
happened to him. He says that his
head had been troubling his some
time. He remembers having been at
the railroad station in the morning
and later is sure he was on Wantasti-
quet mountain. but does not remember
of having had anything to eat during
the day.
"Mr. Wooster is weak from loss of
blood. and this with the exposure
make il impossible to determine yet

BLIND FAITH IN UNITED
STATES AS WAR ARBITER

According to the Americans who
are acting as war correspondents in
western Europe, the Belgians, fleeing
before the approach of the Germans,
seemed to have the impression that
somehow or other the United States
would step in and prevent Germany
from capturing their peaceful little
country. The war correspondents were
duly flattered by the blind faith placed
in Uncle Sam by the Belgian peasan-
try, but by no stretch of their imagin-
alton could they forsee the United
States rising to such position of
world ruler or even attempting the
role. The part of the United States
in settling the war, if part it is to
play, is through more diplomatic
move than the exercise of any inter
vention; and Americans themselves
feel belief that their country is to
play an important part in such a
policy as the keenest diplomacy may
indicate. The assumption of such
role is inevitable in view of the fact
that the United States is the greatest
power not engaged in warfare at the
present time and not likely to be en-
broiled in the conflict. On that belief
in the possible role of the United
States in settling the war, Americans
pin almost as much faith as did the
Belgians in the theory that the United
States would save them and their
country from the ravaging hands of
the invader.-Barre Times.

The question is being asked, "Why
are certain officials of the Democratic
administration at Washington so de-
sirous Of eecting Charles A. Prouty
10 the United States Senate ?" The
one answer to the query now at hand
seems to be that certain members Of
the Wilson cabinet desire TO retire
Senator Dillingham; and that it mat
tiers little who becomes his successor
so long as that successor can he made
useful 10 the administration.
