vile, Peacham and other towns on
the western side of the county were
solid for him, st. Johnsbury was
equally solid for Slade and the re-
moval of the buildings and he was
defeated
His great grand father, Deacon
Jonathan Elkins was the first set
tier of Peacham. His grand father,
David Elkins, was for many years
high sheriff of this county when the
whipping post was in vogue. 1t is
said that David Elkins applied the
lash to the back of the last offender
in Vermont to receive a public whip
ping.
Harvey Elkins, a great uncle,
went to New Orleans during the
early years of the 18th century. In
1882, he returned to Peacham and
had a negro body servant with him.
This was the first time a negro had
ever been seen in that town. A few
years later another negro, Jack
Dolby, came to town and he was so
great a curiosity that the teacher of
the school Mr.. Hartman was attend
ing dismissed the school so the chill
dren might go out and see him when
he went by.
From Peacham, Mr.. Hartman
went to California, served in the
legislature and senate of that state
and several years as clerk of the
Supreme Court of California. He
then removed to Ann Arbor, Mich,
where he has resided for As years
and served for IL years as judge of
probate. He says that as a young
man he never heard anything said
about the beauty of the landscape of
Peacham, but since he has resided in
other sections of the country, he is
always glad to get back to what he
believes to be one of the most beau
,iful sections of the world.

War Fatalities and Probabilities.

A French authority gives out an
estimate of the killed, wounded and

now at war. According to his fig

of Russia S.7SO.OOO, of Germany

REMEMBERS EARLY PEACHAM.
William ID. Hartman of Ann ArbOr
Tells Some Interesting Remi-
niSCRnCeS.

William D. Hartman of Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, and his daughter, Mrs.
Matte Mason, have been spending a
few days with his nephew, Fred S.
Hartman, and went last week to
Peacham, his birthplace, where they
expect to remain until the first of
September Mr.. Hartman is 80 years
old and was admitted to the bar in
st. Johnsbury in 1854 or 1855. He
was sworn in by Judge Poland and
was given a certificate by GustaVus
A. Burbank, clerk of the court. I'm
fortunately he lost the certificate
later and finds no records of the =
missions of practitioners to the bar
for those years in the Office here.
But he recalls his admission clear
bar for so years. He took his ex-
animation for admission before Will
liam Mattocks of Peacham and Abel
Underwood of Wells River, both
prominent attorneys here at that
time. Mr.. Hartman is the only sur
vivor of the men mentioned.
A man 80 years old always has
interesting "reminiscences and Mr..
Hartman is no exception. He first
spoke of The Caledonian, it's found
er, A. G. Chadwick, and the motto
he had for the publication in those
years. This motto was written by a
judge of the Supreme Court of the
United States and is as follows:
Here shall the Press, the Peoples |
right maintain,
Unawed by influence, and unbribed
by gain
Here patriot Truth, her glorious
preceptS draw,
Pledged to Religion, Liberty and
Law.
Notices for newspapers were the
proper thing at that time and he re-
members that at the head of the
North Star this sentence appeared: |
Wherever liberty dwells, there Is
my country"
Mr.. Hartman was candidate for
prosecuting attorney of this county |
in the campaign when the removal of
the county buildings from Danville |
to St. Johnsbury was the only issue. |
His opponent was Samuel M. Slade

lar to that in Vermont a year ago.
Different names were being suggest
ed for the governorship but the vot-
ers were waiting for an opportunity
to vote for Charles w. Gates. Every
ruse that could be devised, including
Mr.. Gates personal Indifference about
the Office, was employed to promote
the candidates. of other ambitious
men. But once Mr.. Gates name
was placed before the convention
that body went for him like wild
fire. In the coming presidential con-
test there is no question that the
people would like. to vote for Charles
E. Hughes and if his name can be
fairly placed before the national re-
publican convention the next presi-
dent of the United States will be as
surely named as the Vermont repub-
licans named a governor last year.

The Move ON Mexico


President Wilson has finally taken
step toward the settlement of the
Mexican problem. He has asked the
South American countries to join the
United States in a demand upon the
various leaders to get together and
establish peace in that country. 1t
is supposed that some penalty for
failure to do so will be suggested in
time although it was not done at
| the first conference of the Pan
American diplomats.
The United States has reached
the sage conclusions: That Car
rama or no one else is really in con-
troll in Mexico, that there has been
no revolution in Mexico since Huerta
was overthrow a year ago although
there are still factional differences,
that while Villa is short of money
he is still active and must be reck-
oned with, that the Cientificos (the
decent people who own some prop
erty in Mexico) do not figure at all
in any settlement to be made, that
there is a good deal of lighting in
Mexico now, and that some man who
represents the people who overthrow
Huerta but none of the present fac
tions must be selected as a provi-
sional president.
The wisdom of the president in
appealing to the South American ma
tions to come into conference with
the United States is not questioned.
1t is a good plan to let our southern
neighbors know what we think
about the situation and what should
he done unless Mexico straightens it
self out. 1t should give US the moral
support at least of those countries
in our effort to bring about peace
and order in that country. 1t is
not probable the United States will
receive anything but the moral sup
port of the South American countries
therefore it will not be wise to de-
lay for long preparations to do our
duty in Mexico.
While it is desirable to consult
these countries it would hardly seem
wise that there should be any CO.
operative effort to subdue Mexico in
case Intervention becomes necessary.
No effective organization of the mill
tary forces of the different countries
could be made that would be as eff
fective as a sufficient army of some
one nation. 1t would be very diff
cult to maintain harmony among the
different military forces, or to salts
factorily adjust matters at the close
of the campaign.
We feel that while the conference
was wise it would be very unwise !
for this country to attempt to furth-
er evade it's duty in relation to Mex
leo or allow the bandits of that |
country to longer plumber what de-
cent citizenry still remains there. 1t |
is of course possible that Carranza
and Villa may decide to yield their |
power without military Intervention,
but it does not look probable. So
we hope the administration will not |
further disgrace this nation by at
tempting to divide it's responsibility
with others who can only prolong
the ineffective policy of "watchful
waiting

One marked effect of the war is
shown in the reduction of immigra-
ton to this country in the past year,
the net increase in foreign popula-
ton being less than $4,000. The
greatest decrease from any nation
was from Italy, there being 1885,
600 less Italians coming to this
country last year than the year previ-
Gus. There was falling off of 49,
900 from Poland, 1000 in He
brews, $4,000 from Germany and
40, 200 from Russia. American travel
to Europe also decreased 1876, 1856
during the year. Probably these
Americans mean greater loss of
revenue to Europe than America
suffered in the loss of the 1000

The duties collected on sugar for
the twelve months from March 1,
1914, when the reduced rates went
into effect, to March 1, 1915,
amounted to $49,774,345. Had the
duties on this commodity been per-
mitted to remain as they were, the
revenue from sugar imports for this
period would have been about $685.

Germany has captured Warsaw
and it was a great military achieve
ment. But Germany has not changed
it's purpose to establish military tyr
amy over the civilized world, and
to destroy national freedom. The
world fears such tyranny and loves
freedom and national independence.
It will fight for freedom and indie
pendence as long as it has strength
to exist despite the ambitions of Ger
many. Germany is morally wrong
and moral wrongs are never perma-
nent. They may prevail for time
but always contain the elements of
their own destruction and because
Germany is morally wrong we are
confident that Germany will fall.

fired a torpedo at another vessel. Pas
sengers aboard the Lapland watched
the progress of the missile through the

the Lapland so far as couid be learned.
Meantime the torpedo boats guns
had quickened their fire 10 a fusillade

shot forward. To dodge ~torpedoes and
to afford the submarine Il poor target,
