Fletcher is ambitious to become TIL
Progressive nominee to become the
States Senate He has perfect right tc
this ambition but it cannot be that there
are any Progressives who would lend him
|any support in this direction or for any
other office on the Progressive ticket fol-
that matter.
Only two years ago Gov. Fletcher was
the opposi ngadadcint
the opposing candidate for the governor
of the Progressive party. He has repeat.
eddy heaped ridicule on the ProgressiYes
and has as often declared himself to
be Republican. While Gov. Fletcher
has of late been favoring some measures
that are progressive in their nature, yet
those who know him for what he is
worth do not think that he Is sincere.
His past record, not only in the Vermont
legislature but before he came to Yer
mont, does not harmonic with the adj
yanced ideas that are interesting the
American voters to-day. All along Gov,
Fletcher has shown by his actions that
he wants to 60 to the United States
Senate, but he is so secretiye and willy
that even his closest friends hold GER
tain amount Of distrust in regard to the
sincerity OF his methods.
But just witness the spectacle of the
governor iunketing around the state
with Mason Stone under the cloak Of
the decuational commission to fix up
his political fences. Above all the ed
vocational department should be free
from the evil influences of politics. The
right OF the governor cannot be ques-
toned to 60 about the state in the in
terest Of his candidacy for any Office
when done in the open and with that
pupose in view But when he calls pub
lie meetings in the interest of education
and turns the meetings into political
rallies for building up his political
fences he is bringing dishonor on the
office that all true Vermonters viii re-
sent.
Gov Fletcher's record does not har-
nonize with Progressive ideas and it is
'idiculous for the Progressives to even
consider his name in connection with the
'arty ticket this fall Burlington
Upper.

POLL THEATRE

It is a most attractive program of vaudeville and high-class motion pie tyres that is offered at Polls theater for the last three days of the week.
 Heading the vaudeville program is the tabloid musical comedy, "On the School Playground''-a feature that is brought here for a return engagement in response to an insistent demand. Featured in the slxit are Ell. Brendel and Muriel Morgan and a large com pany-mostly girls-alI of whom are artistic entertainers On the School is even more entertain ing than it was on it's previous engage ment here-which is saying a whole lot.
 The Great Lutz, s.the arnless won ders'' is the special added feature. Lutz does with his feet what most folks do with their hands-a,nd does 1t we'll He can play musical instru- ments and is an expert rife shot. This is an unique act of high entertainment calibre.
 Haney and Long offer a clever reper- toire of songs and dances and have met with hearty reception. The As sures, comedy knockabout pantomim- ic turn. provoke sixty laughs a min ute. Ed. O'Rell, the musical nonolo- gist, has a different act that wins favor with the audiences from start to finish.
 By far the most thrillingly dramatic sphotop1ay yet released by the Para mount Picture service is -The Ty- phoon. 7 which is headlined in the pie ture program. The story is written about the love affair of Q Japaneso diplomat in4 Paris on secret mission. Tn a rage against the women who seeks to win his heart, he kills her. In or der that his life might be spared until he completes for his government his work in Paris, a, Japanese boy assumes responsibility for his crime and goes to the guillotine. The court room scene when the innocent lad is adjudg- ed guilty is most dramatic. The Ty- phoon' will be shown at 3.3O and 8:30 o'clock and there will also be other high-c1ass photoplays at every per. forTnance

SULP PHUR DRIES UP ECZEMA AND
 STOPS ITCHING
This old time skin healer is used just like any
 cold cream.

With the first application of bold sulphur the angry itching attending the eczema eruption ceases and it's re- markabIe healing powers begin. SuI- phur, says q renowned dermato1ogist, just common bold-sulphur, made into aNthick cream will soothe and heal the skin when irritated and broken out with EGzema or. any form of eruption. The moment it is applied all itching ceases and after two or three applica- lions the Eczema disappears, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
 e He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy ounce of bold-sulphur and apply it to the irri- tated, inflamed skin. the same as you would any cold cream.
 For many years this soothing, heal ing sulphur has occupied a secure position n the treatmentzof cutaneous directions by reason of it's parasite de- stroytng property. It is not only para sittcidal, but also antiprurittc, antisep- tic and remarkably healing in a1Is irri- table and inf1ammatory conditions of the skin. While not always establish ing 9 permanent cure it never fails to instantly subdue the irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again appears on the 'skin.-Adv.

CAUSE OF PEACE NOT LOST, SAYS DIR.
 BUTTON, 65 TODAY

That the cause of peace, interna- tional arbitration and universal dis armaIn ent is far from lost is the opin- ion of pr. Samuel Train Dutton, of cator and advocate of world peace. Prof. Dutton was a pioneer in the peace movements and was chairman of the executive committee of the first National Arbitration and Peace Con gress in New York seven years ago. He was to have been a, delegate to the International Peace Conference at Vienna this year, and was on the point of sailing for Europe when the war broke out. pr. Dutton., who was born at HiIIsboro, N. H., sixty-five years ago today, declares that the present war was not unexpected by the peace advocates.
 Many people hold that this terrible war makes & nockery Of all our works and turns our proposals to ridi- eule,' said Dr. Dutton, 'tb1t this con- ception of our propaganda, is entirely grong. We saw this war coming. Every advocate of peace who has stud- jed the grounds of his faith has known that this clash was coming. The declaration of war came as we ex- pected it would-like flash 2 of lightning. The Servians among whom I visited a year ago as a. member of a commission designated to investi- gate sCItS BS6lASn wars, had to do but abandon their haIvests and takee up arms again, all because their powerful neighbor was harsh and greedy and was able in a moment of passion to mobilize her great armed forces. About Emperor William there are several definite things to be said. He has always declared that he kept his army ready for instant mob ilization to preserve peace but he did not use his army to that end. More likely his act may prove his undo oing. think it certain to. in fact And in the process we will see the most wide spread and comprehensive form of the reversion of civilized man to bar barism that the world has ever known. But I do not despair of the outlook. It may be that the world will be shocked into a realization of the fact that new ideals are needed. and there may arise worlds peace federation. with all nationas as subscribers, to replace the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. But the very terrors of the Armageddon that is before us may, come the formation Of the peace court for the world that we have so long forecried. It is encouraging that so many voices are raised here and abroad against war;

would serve the local club members

dinner should the local club be vic
torious in all its matches with the
various rifle clubs of the coast. Since

all the contests and has caused the

members be invited to a sumptuous
spread at the home of the best shot
of them all
Tom Edens stood head and Shout
