ELECTION RESULTS

hfeHl lnItTtSl WAS ldhtI III
the election in st. Johns Tues
day. The wet and dry question
seemed to he the paramount
issue with q large number Of our
people. and church bells were
rang intermittently throughout
the day. probably as a reminder
that the issue was at stake.
The vote was the largest ever
taken in st. Johns. and the
gentler sex was heavily repre-
sented. The event passed off in
quiet and orderly manner,
without disturbance of any kind.
All the election boards, of which
a fair percentage were women,
handled the election in first class
style. Owing TO the volominous
nature Of the ballot. the count
ing took considerable time, and
in Precinct 296 the count was
not concluded until late yester-
day evening.
The result of the election
showed that prohibition has
swept the state by a large ma
jority. and that st. Johns went
dry strong. Chamberlain was
elected TO the Senate. Witty
combe governor. Macarthur to
Congress, Hurlbert for Sheriff,
ID. G.. Lewis elected to the Legis-
lature by a handsome vote. In
the st. Johns district. Judge j. Il.
Williams was reelected Justice
of the Peace, and j. M. Swisher
reelected Constable. Following

The responsibility for the present
complicated situation with the Judges
of Vermont rests wholly with the legis-
lature of 1912. j. Wesley Miller of
Bethel, who has served two terms in the
Legislature and was reelected this year.
in n letter to the Burlington Free Press,
states that when the amendment to the
constitution providing for a later date
for elections and the meeting of the
legislature was under discussion in the
house Charles ID. Watson of st. Adams
city pointed out that should the amend
ment be adopted he could see no es-
cape from the necessity of the appoint
ment of judges by the governor for the
next ten years, that is, until the next
opportunity to amend the constitution
Notwithstanding the warning the house
deliberately and overwhelmingly APP
proved the amendment, evidently con
sidering its benefits greater than it,

condition hostile to the welfare of
American finance and business.
Every day in the year the United
States must seH-to foreigners over q
million dollars worth more of goods
than it buys from them in order to
cancel interest and dividends, insur-
anee charges and tourist funds which
flow from this country to Europe. For
the first time in many months we are
now able to reach that million-dollar
mark daily, and this is a harbinger OF
better trade to come.
In a fortnight the cotton exchanges
vii be open ON both sides of the At
lantic. This will cause resumption
! of shipments of the most important
single commodity of international
trade and will tend still further tC
swell the balance in favor of America
With these rapidly improving con
| ditions in ocean commerce there mus
soon come a reopening of stock eX
changes. The British government ha!
already backed plan to protec
brokers and other borrowers who hat
stock when the exchanges closed las
July, which amounts to formal no
tiee to all vultures in, the speeulativ'
market that they will not be permit
ted to pluck the unfortunates who ow
money to the banks.
The United States banks and til
American stock exchanges will doubt
less come to an understanding befor
a formal opening in order to give sim
liar protection here. With a free mar
Ilet in Europe for the output of on
factories, mines, farms and oil well,
an equally open market for seeuritie
San be inaugurated without feal
American industry is an assert for tn
whole world; it cannot remain sui
merged for n very long period.

Any plan that induces 1900 persons
in Brattleboro and vicinity to save in
small amounts $4,000 year is worthy
Of commendation, especially when the
plan is so arranged that the entire
amount is released for use at the height
of the holiday season. The Christmas
Savings club of the Brattleboro Trust
Co., for the year 1914 comes to an end
one week from today, when the mem
bcrs will receive checks covering their
weekly savings with interest ut two
per cent. That the club meets with ap-
prevail among those who compose it is
indicated by its growth in two years;
that it is a popular institution among
local merchants goes without saying. Ii
is pleasure to note that the active
and energetic financial institution
which started the Christmas savings
plan in BrattIeboro is to continue the
good work. The 1915 club starts Dee

That sterling organization, the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce, which is
doing so much through its enthusiastic
and energetic membership to build up
the industrial affairs of New England
elected officers yesterday. The new
president is Elmer J. Bliss, president
and managing director of the Regal
Shoe company. People in this locality
will note with interest that the new
first vice president is Edward X. Hall,
son of Capt. c. P. Hail of Shelburne.
Mr.. Hall attended school in Hinsdale
in his boyhood and was a resident of
Brattleboro while student of Dart
mouth college. He is a member of

and. vice president of the New England
| Telephone and Telegraph company. lie
has been director of the chamber for
three years, and served on various
committees, notably as chairman OF
the committee on membership in 1910
when the membership Of the chamber
was raised from 3645 to 1901. He was
also chairman of the chamber assem-
bly, in 1912. Mr.. Hall was an Alder
man of Newton in 19O6-07.

John Redmond, the man who has
clarity of vision enough to see which
way home rule for Ireland lies and who
has outplayed them all at reaching the
high goal he has set for his race says
it is not right to accuse Ireland of
failing the empire at this time. She
has 100000 men with the colors today.
The point that very many of the critics
Of Irish enlistment forget is that for
generations it has been the custom Of
the most promising young Irishmen to
emigrate OF those who do not emf
CRATE very large proportion go into
the army anyway. There was larger
proportion of Irishmen than of any
other, Scotch, Welsh or English in the
regular army when the war broke out.
The possibilities of very large tenlist-
ment in Ireland are very limited even

They were having talk around the
village store about the new railroad
station. The town had grown up a
mile or so from the railroad, and the
new building was to be slightly one.
1t seemed too bad it couldn t be placed
in the town. When the talk died
down an instant an old farmer got up
and, slipping his quid to the other side
of his mouth, drawled:
Wa-al, friends, it s jest this way.

The terrible fighting around LODI is
said to have been the most sangui-
nary battle of the war and despera-
desperation of the opposing armies is
shown by the fact that when cart
ridges failed the troops fought hand
to hand with dubbed guns and bayo-
nets. Courage has not been eliminated
from the makeup of human beings in
these highly civilized days" but the
pity is that it has to exhaust itself in
the destruction rather than in the saw
ing of life.

Several papers have expressed the
fear that the foot and mouth disease
will put the agricultural fairs out of
business next year. These fears are not
well founded, judging from the past.
We had outbreaks of the disease six

whole trouble within few months.

Kansas and Texas Compared With VT

Kansas has a population of 1850, $40
and an assessed valuation of 50 ,S04, 49,,
so and yet with population over four
times, and an assessed valuation over
ten times that of Vermont, it's legisla-
tive expense was $50, 447 20, or less than
one-half as much.
The great state of Texas with q pop
ulation OF $500, 542 and an assessed wall

Most States Have Time Limits.

Opinions may differ as to which of
the two methods employed is preferable,
although the states that follow the plan
of fixed number of days, outnumber
those that accomplish the desired result
by salary limit.
But this is incidental and does not
affect the main proposition, that every
state in the Union, with the exception
of Vermont alone, protects its treasury
against the inroads made possible by
the failure to establish limit to the
| length of legislative sessions.

mont $ isolated attitude in this matter /?

LEGISLATURE is
FAR TOO EXPENSIVE
Vermont, with One Tenth Assessed Val.
uation, Spends More Than Twice
as Much as Kansas.

In recent issue the st. Adams
Messenger published an interesting ia
BILE containing facts and figures relating
to the legislatures of the several states,
the length of legislative sessions, the
total expense thereof. the number and
compensation of members, etc.
The figures given by the Messenger,
as well as that paper editorial com
ment IN connection herewith, are time
", but in the opinion of the Standard,
certain misleading impressions are con
veyed in the Messenger review of the
legislative figures, which it presents,
says the Enosburg Standard. For in
stance the Messenger says
Sixteen states, including Vermont,
have no time limits, although in Con-
neeticut, where the Legislature meets in
January, adjournment must be taken
not later than the first Wednesday af-
ter the first Monday in June following
its organization.
The foregoing statement is mislead-
ing, i'll that it lacks qualifying expla-
nation that the states referred to, with
the exception of Vermont, although hav'
| ing no fixed number of days as a limit
nevertheless effectually limit the length
of session by the establishment of 8
stated salary, per year, term, or session
