After brief service as editor of The
Advance, the Progressive paper, and as
brief surcease from toll in the field OF
newspaper editing, Arthur F. Stone has
been called to the position OF editor of
the Springfield Republican, weekly
newspaper published in prosperous
Vermont town. and will assume his new
duties during the latter part OF the
present month. In securing Mr. Stone
the owners of the Springfield contem-
porary have gained the services of an
experienced newspaper man who knows
the weekly newspaper field in Vermont
quite thoroughly from long connection
with the st. Johnsbury Caledonian az
owner and editor and who is qualified
TO give the readers of the Springfield
journal Just the kind of paper theS
desire. Moreover, Editor Stone is likely
10 find his new position more coneenial
than his late assignment with The Ad-
vance. In short, we think he viii fit in
with his new position most admirably.

SPORTING NOTES

The indianapolis club Of the Federal
league have an extraordinary team av-
erage for batting They are hitting as
team for ,2s6. something better than
20 points over the leaders of the Nation
al and American leagues, The high av-
erage of the Hoosiers is undoubtedly
due TO the great stickwork OF Kauff,
Campbell and Carr, who are slated well
up above the 800 mark.
Mike Doolan, the former Philadelphia
National shortstop, who jumped to the
Federal league this spring, is hitting
better than he ever did in fast company.
There is one thing to be regretted,
though, and that is because he fell from
the privileged 800 hitters recently. Doc.
Ian was well up in the honored list all
season until about two weeks ago. He
is now hitting for .2s5.
Sam Crawford, the veteran Tiger,
leads the American league in long dis
lance hitting. He has made sixteen
doubles, eighteen triples and seven home
runs Sherwood Magee of the Philies
leads the National league in this long
distance game. He has made twenty
four doubles, six triples and eight home
runs.

though he himself was defeated at the
polls.
Just what Mr. Clements status will
be in the present campaign remains TO
be seen. but it is not improbable that
many of those who were his bitterest
opponents in 1902 and 1905 will be in
clined to look with favor on his present
candidacy. That he is business man
Of marked ability is acknowledged, and
his ideas on state issues are those of a
man inclined TO look on such matters
from a business viewpoint, His sugges'
ton that budget be prepared for the
information of legislators 80 days before
they convene would doubtless play an
important part in the reduction of state
expenses. about which Mr.. Clement has

ion that our present judicial system is
costly and complex and should be scruti

economy will meet with no disagree

interesting to note that Mr. Clement is
member of the Vermont education com
mission whose drastic recommendations
were recently made public. In the mat
ter of good roads and forestry Mr.. Glenn.
ent places himself on record as in accord
with Vtrmont's present policy.
Assuming that nominations will be
made by convention instead of by pri-
mary, Mr. Clement expresses his nm
willingness to send out solicitors for
support but stands ready to enter into a
public discussion of issues. He adds
that he purposes to file with the state
committee detailed statement of all
his campaign expenses.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S GRIEF.

Perplexed by weighty affairs OF state,
hafrassed by rebufrs in his efforts to
bring peace upon Mexico, disturbed as
the head of great power by a ire
mendous international crisis and now
bowed down by the removal, through
the hand of death, of that woman who
had been his constant companion through
almost thirty years of ideal family life,
President Wilson stands to-day q pa
thetic figure. In contemplation of him,
no person fails to feel an outpouring
of sympathy, heartfelt and most sin
cere. To the bereaved head of the ma
tion in his present dark hour goes out
the utmost spirit of sorrow. He has
been called upon to endure great perplex-
titles during the first half of his presi
Dental term perplexities due largely to
problems which were peculiar to his ad-
ministration--yet he has maintained
serene demeanor throughout them all,
albeit he must have been sorely tried.
To all outward appearances he always
has been master OF himself, calm, digni
fed and the real gentleman.
Remembering that display of repres
sion and self mastery, the people of the
nation trust that he will be able to sum
mon that same wonderful attribute to
his aid in the present personal crisis
and that while feeling, of necessity, the
poienancy of intense grief he will find
comfort and solace in the ministrations
of the other members of his family and
in the kindly feeling of everyone of his
countrymen. OF the former he already |
has received full portion, no doubt; OF
the latter he will receive prompt assur.
ance through every possible agency. The
nation stands by President Wilson in
his deep personal grief.

warships OF two or three nations with
great diligence, for the huge liners now
running would make satisfactory prizes
of war in themselves, to say nothing of
the treasure which the ships may be
carrying. Most of the liners belong to
English or German companies, although
a few are flying the French flag; and
each ship becomes legitimate prey TO
the warships bearing hostile flag.
Therefore, to attempt TO carry passen-
gers would be to subject those people
TO unreasonable danger unless ii be that
the passengers are reservists being
speeded to the home country to engage
in military service. Many of the steam
ship lines are refusing passenger trans
portation and some are holding their
ships in port. That appears to be the
part of wisdom in the crisis now at
hand.

WOMAN'S HEAD
STRUCK POLE
Mrs. Beckett Was Badly Injured at
Charlotte When Driver Turned Out
in Grass to Avoid Big
Touring Car.

Burlington, Aug, THE police am
bulance was called to Charlotte Wednes'
day to bring woman, Mrs. Beckett, to
the Mary Fletcher hospital. She was
the victim of peculiar automobile ac'
cident. She and her husband were pas
sengers from Yergennes in Ford car
which was coming north on the main
road. As they reached cross road a
large automobile approached from the
west and the chauffeur of the Ford car
had only one chance to avoid collision
and that was by sending his car into a
strip of grass beside the road.
He got out of the way all right but
the car struck mail box on a telegraph
pole which caused the car to skid and
the jar of the collision iolted Mrs.
Beckett to such an extent. that it threw
her TO one side and her head came in con-
tact with the pole. The impact made
her unconscious and she bled profusely
from the mouth and nose. There was
also a large wound in the side of the
head and both eyes were blackened. Dr.
II. l.. Mills of this city, who happened to
be nearby, went TO the spot and seeing
the woman was in serious condition
telephoned TO Burlington for the police
ambulance, which went to the scene in
quick time. Mrs. Beckett was brought
10 the hospital as soon os possible. She
is badly injured but just how seriously
is not known yet. The Ford car which
struck the telegraph pole was quite bad
ly damaged, The victim OF the accident
is a woman of middle age.

There has been break between the
two United States Senators from
Missouri, according to close friends
of the two MiSsourians.
Trouble has been brewing between
them for several months over the
appointments in st. Louis, but neither
of them would admit it. However,
there has been GOODNESS between
them which Missourians in this
city have commented upon
The final break, according to Mis-
sourians who are close to the Scna-
tors, was over the appointment Of
a United States District Attorney
for st. Louis. Senator Reed took
the stand that he would not ac-
cept any one but Senator Arthur
l.. Oliver of Charlottesville, and Scna-
tor Stone refused to accept Oliver.
The senior Senator has been urg-
ing the President to appoint George
II. Moore of st. Louis, and Moore
has been Endorsed by quite a num-
Der of influential Democrats from
various sections of the state.
Senator Oliver, who has been men
toned for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton several times, has practically
the solid Endorsement of the Dcmoc-
racy of Southeast Missouri. He is a
nephew of r. b. Oliver of Cape

gave their second moonlight excursion
on Tuesday evening, having secured
the services of the elegant Steamer

The programme provided for the
entertainment of the guests by Miss

Faculty, was an excellent one.
1t was musical throughout, and was
contributed to by Miss Frcda Rick
with her splendid orchestra, and
Mr.. c. f. Stivers who sang num-
Der of pleasing selections.
The Baptist ladies have pledged
themselves to contribute $1,000 to-
ward the erection of a new church,
and the excursion was given for the
purpose of helping them out in their
most worthy undertaking
Their efforts were rewarded with
considerable financial success and all
who participated expressed themselves
as having enjoyed a most delightful
time.
The steamer left the wharf at about
$50 and returned at II o'clock,
