sumo these financial perils. The
only reason the government is asked
to purchase this silver, enough to
provide all it is likely to need in
the next four or five years, is to
keep the silver mines of the Rocky
Mountain states in operation In
other words the government is ask
ed to make an artificial market
where no legitimate market exists.
The scheme to create inspectors of
ware houses is to enable the owner
of cotton or other goods to show a
certificate that he has a certain
amount of goods stored in a ware
house and raise money with the GER
tificate as security. Briefly stated it
is an attempt to get the general gov
eminent to guarantee private enter
prise.
While it is desirable that Ameri-
can ships seize the present oppor-
tunity to develop more trade between
North and South America, it is not
task for money secured by public
taxation. The government is not
equipped with men fitted TO purchase
ships advantageously nor with men
informed as to the safety of South
American trade. While there is an
opportunity to develop safe and prof
liable trade there is also equal chance
of making expensive mistakes. 1t is
a work for men trained in this espe-
cial line of business not for those who
happen to be filling political Of
fees.
If the general government is to buy
silver in advance of it's needs to keep
the silver mines busy why should it
not buy scales and keep the scale
shops running at full speed. 1t
would be just as safe to do one as
the other. The cotton growers, grain
producers and silver mine owners are
trying to loot the public treasury that
is already empty and facing the i'm
position of a heavy war tax to raise
revenue for it's legitimate expendi-
lures. 1t is not right or safe but
the greater part of these aids would
benefit the South more than any
other section, and the South is in
the saddle both in congress and in
the White House

ABSOLUTELY INCORRUPTIBLE''
New England Man Has High Regard

Dillingham;.

Exeter IN. H.) Newsletter of last
Friday:
"A little group of New England
men were discussing the several New
England senators who come up for
reelection this year. The talk drift
ed especially to Senator William p.
Dillingham; of Vermont, who is a
candidate to succeed himself Said
one man who is familiar with Sena-
tor Dillingham's record: 1t runs in
the Dillingham; blood to serve Yer
mont well and Loyalty. The name
has long been prominently and hon
orably associated with Vermont his
tory. Senator Dillingham; was gov
ernor of Vermont before coming to
the senate. In all his public career
he has never failed to vote and
work in favor of whatever cause he
believed to be for the best interest
of the state, whether or not it was a
popular cause. He is absolutely in
corruptible and steadfast of purpose.
In the senate he has done splendid
work toward protecting Vermont's
interests and took an active stand
against Canadian reciprocity and a
change of tariff that would be detri-
mental to Vermont industries. His
labors to secure proper immigration
restrictions have won him fame. Yer
mont would be not only blind to its
own interests but to the good of the
nation as well should it permit Sen
ator Dillingham; to be retired at the
coming election Neither the state
nor the country can spare men of his
knowledge and experience at this
time when calm and level-hea dedness
are so much needed in dealing with
both national and international af-
fairs .

1t Win Be Gates.

At the republican caucuses held
last Thursday evening a large num-
Der of uninstructed delegates were
elected but each Of the four an
nounced candidates, F. G. Fleetwood,
F. E. Howe, p w. Clement and Max
l.. Powell, have a few instructed del
egatiOns and others they are sure Of.
But even the instructed delegates
will not cling to their favorite son
very long unless he has more strength
than seems likely at present. Gale
donia county's delegation is practi-
cally unanimous in favor of Charles
w. Gates of Franklin for governor
and even those delegates bound to
a favorite son declare Gates is their
second choice.
Nearly every man who expresses
an opinion says he would like to see
Mr.. Gates nominated and while it
may not be possible to choose him on
the first ballot, if the friends of the
other candidates insist on giving
them a mplimentary vote, unless
there is a great change in sentiment
Mr.. Gates will be nominated not
later than the second ballot.
Very little sentiment is expressed
regarding the lieutenant governor
ship. Today it is an open chance for
anyone.
There promises to be no opposition
to Guy W. Bailey for secretary of
state, Walter F. Scott of Brandon
for state treasurer and Horace f.
Graham for state auditor.
The only other fight on the list
will be over the attorney generalship
and Robert w. Simonds of this place
seems to have so strong a lead in
in this that there is little doubt he
will be nominated.
The committee appointed to sub
nit platform to the convention has
done it's work in time to allow the
people to study it and as finally
by the convention it will I'M
doubtedly reflect the sentiment OF a
majority of the republican voters.

Too Much Paternalism.

Since the European war has been
declared there has been an alarm
ing demand for the national govern
ment to go into business and protect
men in business for private gain.
The proposition that the government
buy ships for the transportation Of
merchandise, that it appoint an un-
known number of inspectors of cot
ton stored in ware houses, tobacco,
naval stores and even grain and that
it purchase 100000 ounces of sill
yer bullion for coinage purposes have
been made and nearly all of them
have been passed by the United
States senate.
Business is seriously affected by
the sudden closing of foreign mark
cts for American products and many
lines will be seriously embarrassed
in a financial way, but it is not safe
for the general government to as
