Pastime Editor of Kennebec Journal:
Dear Sir:-In the Journal of Friday
the 18th, you have enlightened me in
regard to using an answer for more
than one picture. l will illustrate the
point that was trying to make. For
instance. take No. 3, the grindstone
There is Unity of Stone and Frame,
also Union, and I think that either
of them would be proper answers to
the picture Now If the true solution
Is one of the three and / use all three
in the Solution Book, / am sure of
making correct answer, whereas if l
was allowed to use only one of the
three I might lose. Take Oxbow, yoke
and bow. When togethere there is
Union, also Unity, So in No. Is, four
men agreeing to hang together, there
is Unity and Union, also ring and
keys, and before the Goth picture is
reached there may be more pictures
where the same words could be prop
erly used Now If the same word
Unity for instance) was used on only
one picture,-say No. Isl would not
stand as much chance of winning as
thought I could use it on two. three,

Duty of Legislators.
(Rutland Herald.)

The Herald feels very keenly that
great opportunity confronts the
members of the legislature-eleet and
that the people of the state have i'm
posed a very definite duty upon them
Not only should they study the
pledges of the Republican party as ex-
pressive of genuine demand on the
part of the people but they should
read the platforms of both the Demo
cratic and former Progressive parties.
There are three or four matters on
which all parties are agreed. They
are as follows:
A better primary law than most
states have;
A simple workmen s compensation
act;
Simpler and cheaper justice;
! The budget system for state appro
| priations;
A legislature limited as to tenure
and salary;
| Practical training in our schools
These are embodied in the Republi
can platform, but the reform of thu
state insurance department, the aboli
tiOn of half score of ornamental com
missions and a general reorganization
of the state machinery on a business
basis are just as lively issues an
should be faced by the members-elec
without delay.

cational commission will be in tn
hands of every member of the Hous
and Senate shortly and should b
read carefully and fully, somethin
that had not been done by its critic
at the time it was presented to til
governor.
Beside these questions, there will b

other unpreventable matter of coi
siderable Importance.
Instead of waiting until they reac

WAR NEWS UP TO THIS MORNING

Tt KEG.-Great Britain declared war
on Turkey yesterday and formally
annexed the Island of Cyprus. De-
clarations of war are looked for
from France, Russia, Belgium, Japan
and Montenegro. Russia moved her
troops to the Caucasus and invaded
Armenia, while the British and
French fleets in the eastern Mediter-
ranean began an attack on the forts
of the Dardanelles The British
government delayed formal action
until it was powerless to keep the
peace 1t was found that the
conservative statemen in CONSTANT
nople were unable to continue efforts
in behalf of peace against the young
Turks under Enver Pasha. News
from Persia indicates that German
and Turkish influences are strongly
at work there and dispatches say
that representatives of these two
countries are doing everything III
their power to bring Persia into
active participation in the war
against Russia and England.

Three candidates for the position of
speaker of the Vermont house of repre-
sentatves are in the field already-Judge
John E. Weeks of Middlebury and Red
field Proctor of Proctor, Republicans, and
j. Wesley Miller of Bethel, Democrat.
These three experienced legislators have
made no formal announcements, but their
names are being mentioned by the state
papers and one of them is likely to receive
the honor. If party lines are drawn in
the choice of course Mr.. Miller will stand
very little chance, but it is worthy of note
that his election as representative on the
Democratic ticket for the fourth consecu-
tive term is remarkable tribute. The
Bennington Banner, whose editor has had
| considerable legislative experience, says,
however, that the tribute is deserved, and
from our knowledge of Rev Mr. Aliller's
| record we are inclined to agree.

Petty Politics.

(Randolph Herald and News.)
Last week we assailed rather strong
~ some of the methods used by Ger
tain Prouty partisans to compass the
defeat of Senator Dillingham;. Unfair
tactics have not been the sole resort
of one party in this fight. by any
means. During the past week two rank
instances on the Dillingham; side have
been noted The first of these was a
circular issued by the Republican state
committee attac king PrOuty for alleg-
ed oppression of two laborers employ
ed in an electric light plant he owns
in Bradford. 1t was small, a very
small missile to throw at best, even
| if supported by the facts, which it
manifestly WASH t, as Mr.. Prouty soon
showed. The other instance was an
club of Waterbury to round up the
Methodists for the Montpelier eandi-
date A E'Dear Brother letter was
sent by the secretary of this club tc
Methodist pastors throughout the state
asking for list of Methodist voters
Following this came circular signed
by the three Methodist district super
intendents and addressed in the

circular was to counterfeit effort!
