The Brattleboro.. RofoEmer~ is prosd
Of its distinguished townsman, Clarke
G. Fits. So are we. He is one of the
brightest, brainiest men in Vermont.
Otherwise he would never have been
retained as the chief counsel of those
great corporate interests. That he has
been loyal to his town and mis- county
and his state Is true. But the good book
says emo man can serve God and
mammon' and that ''where Il man :
treasure is, there his heart is also -
1t is an old, old question, whether any
man can be absolutely loyal and true
to the interests of the people and serve
great interests that are seeking simply
their own selfish ends. If any man in
Vermont can do this Clarke c. Fits is
that man.-MorrisvilIe Messenger.
This is the contemporary 5 reply to
our charge that it misquoted The Re
former and that made statement
concerning Mr.. Fits that was Meth
er true nor just. If the Messenger con
siders this statement an apology and
is satisfied with it the discussion is
closed so far as this paper is con
cerned, but we would advise our north
ern neighbor to use facts and not fan
cies in its editorials.

n STORY OF PLENTY.

The governments report of crop condi-
tons for the beginning of July is, on the
whole, Of unprecedented promise.
The winter-wheat crop is already in
harvest and at 655, 100000 bushels about
equals a normal crop of all wheat The
spring wheat crop approaches harvest
with an Indicated yield of 237 .OOO, 900
bushels, or total wheat crop of over
800, O00, 900 bushels, against previous
record yield of 1853 $50, 900
Corn's condition is above the 1O-ycar
average, and while the crop is young and
that of last year was blasted by hot
winds, there is no case on record when it
failed two years i'll succession @
Oats and the minor cereals all promise
larger harvests than last year and larger
than the average Hay is abundant, pota-
toes above the average
1t is all a story Of extraordinary plenty,
and with short wheat crops abroad it be
comes a promise of immense traffic within
the country and exports of great volume

United Mine Workers was not dis
closed. nor has ,the commission up to
this time pressed the question. Later.
when Welborn was on the stand, he
admitted the telegram was authentic
but plainly Indicated his displeasure at
its having become public property.
McLennan recited a history of mining
troubles in Colorado and the numerous
efforts of the miners to obtain justice.
and of his numerous arrests by state
militia Officers. He was closely ques-
toned as TO the relation of Mother"
Jones to the United Mine Workers and
salaries paid union officials. The com
mission was informed that Mother"
Jones received 81 day and expenses as
general organizer, the same as others
employed in that capacity BY the ma
tional Officers: that during all the time
she was held as military prisoner at
Trinidad and Walseuburg she received
no pay.
He informed the commission that
from the date the strike first started in
the northern fields, in 1910. up to the
present over SS.oo00o0 had been paid
in benefits and maintaining tent col
onies, providing food, clothing. etc. No,
