WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Gallant Vermont Woman.

Inc 1nc1QenC IN SALISBURY the other
day where a farmers wife saved her
husbands life by promptly loading a
rifle and shooting an enraged bull which
was goring him is fair illustration
of the bravery and devotion of the
wives of Vermont farmers. The near

A Sure Contest.
Though Vermont is the strongest
Republican state in the Union in pro-
portion to its population, Mr.. Dilllng
ham will have "some contest" on his
hands. Even if the Democrats do not
endorse Prouty, many of them will vote
for him, for the innate love of getting
into Republican scrap. They would
have everything to gain for such dis
ruption of Vermont Republicanism as
Prouty's success would surely consti-
tute. He would be in the senate, free
lance, such as Teller became after he
had left both the Republican and the
Democratic parties, or as David Davis
of Illinois was in an earlier generation.

Sees Strength in Prouty.
But if the Progressives did nothing
so far as the state ticket was con-
cerned to embarass the Republicans the
same cannot be said of the senatorial
selection Holding different views as
regards state Offices the delegates were
practically unanimous in their desire
to make G. A. Prouty their candidate.
In so doing the fractional fight that has
been waged within the party on this
question disappeared in a twinkling.
Mr. Prouty already has the nomination
of two parties and will run as a non
partisan beside and Republicans must
be prepared to see this man give their
candidate the fight of his life. even if
he does not come through victor. st.

Room for the Young Ones.
Why it is that so little recognition is
given the young voter in the political
| life of the state? At the recent large
| ly attended Republican caucus of this
town not a single young man was
made delegate to any of the conven-
lions, and noticeable was the fact that
of the "a delegates present at the Re-
publican second congressional district
convent on. the 9Th, only two young
men apparently under Is years of age
were there as delegates. The custom
that obtains in most states is to send
the just-become-of-age voter to the
conventions for the pertinent reason
that it is his to learn, and naturally he
is full of activity and enthusiasm for
/ the party's success.
A recognition of the just-made voter
means party life and strength. White

| Says Journal Failure Cost $4,000.
The suspension of the Montpelier
Daily Journal after sinking over $40,
900 of somebody's money is a lesson on
the folly of trying to run two news
papers in a small town. Newspapers
are supported by the advertisers. The
money received from subscriptions is
only drop in the bucket While there
are two papers, merchants have to ad
vertise,in both to.reach all the people in
town. With one paper a merchant can
reach all the people with one advertis.

chants of Montpelier have had to adver.
tise in two papers, If these merchants
are wise they will see to it that an.
other paper is not started there unless
the town grows to point where two
papers can live without running
