The Senatorial Result.

The people OF Vermont have spoken
by direct primary and Sen. G. S Page
has been indicated in their verdict.
The result shows that the man with
money has the same advantage in a
direct appeal to the people that he did
under the old methods, We congratu.
late Sen. Page on his victory because
he has met the most bitter charges
made against Nermonter I'm recent
years and the people have voted him
not guilty.
Gov c. w. Gates did not win the
nomination but has lost nothing in the
esteem of the people. He did not fight
for the nomination lie simply stood
for the better things in politics and
has committed no act that will cause
him regret. His friends have the sat.
isfaction of having voted for honesty
IN politics and are not ashamed of
their action. The governor will con.
tinue to serve the people faithfully mn
I'll the end of his term nad return to
private life with the iull respect and
confidence OF all the people.
As Tor eXGov. Fletcher the result
shows that the people did not take
him at his own estimate OF himself,
We congratulate the winners In the

Faetory.-There Were 5000 Men

Losdon.-The latest reports rom
the British feet, from neutral vessels
which witnessed parts Of the great
naval battle in the North Sea, aao
from survivors, cause the British pup
lie to believe that the engagement was
not so near oeeeeat as at first ap-
peared. and in no wise a disaster
The British losses, witS all the craft
engaged accounted for, were three
battle cruisers, three cruisers and
eight destroyers.
The German losses are believed to
have been about the same numoec OF
ships, although a much less aggre-
gate OF onnage.
British naval experts maintain tnas
Great Britain continues to hold the
supremacy Of the sea by a safe mar
gin and that her enormous navy
could better afford the losses 1t SUI
rered than could the smaller German
establishment. The first reports o.
the heavy loss of lie, unhappily, have
not been revised. Great Britain
mourns for more than 1000 Of her
best seamen, and the whole Nation
is oppressed with sadness, which is re-
fected in the faces Of all the people
Of London.
There were same 5000 men on the
ships which sank, and only a few
have been saved. The horrors OF
modern naval warfare, far exceeding
those when wooden ships fought and
continued to fcat even when they
ceased to be fighting units. were real
lied to their utmost. From five OF
the largest ships which went under
with e complement of more than 1000
men, only seven junior officers and a
few seamen rescued.
Rear Admiral the Honorable Hor'
ace Lambert Hood, second II com
nand to Vice Admiral Sir David Beat
ty, and Captains Sowerby, Cay ana
Prowse were lost with many others
whose names are not yet known De-
cause the government has not so far
issued any casualty list. There were
no surrenders, and the ships which
went down carried with them yir-
tuaIly their whole crews. Only the
Warrior, which was towed part way
from the scene Of battle to British
port, was an exception.
OF some thousand men on the
Queen Mary, only corporafs guard
Is accounted for. The same is true
of the Invincible, while there are no
survivors reported from the lndera
tsgable, the Defense OF the Black
Prince.

In Reoistration Area.

Washington.-Sam L. Rogers, d1rec-
tor of the census, has admitted the
state of South Carolina to the registra-
ton area for deaths for the calendar
year 1916. In 1914 South Carolina pass
ed the model law providing for the
registration Of births and deaths.
The admission Of South Carolina
now makes the 26th state included in
the death registration area, increas-
ing the estimated population repre-
sented to 71,621,398, or 70.2 per cent.
Of the total estimated population Of
the United States. The model law is
a law which provides for the regis
tration of births and deaths and one
which may be adapted to meet the
conditions in any state. It has done
more to bring about uniformity and ef-
fectiveness in the registration OF vital
statistics than any measure heretofore
proposed.

AMERICA HAS STOOD
STEADFASTLY FOR LAW.
lansing Tells Lawyers That Life anc
Property Are BY No Means

Watertown, N. H.-Secretary Lans'
ing before the Jefferson County Bar
association here scored critics OF the
administrations foreign policy who
would have it do more than has been
done in the negotiations arising from
the war and replied to those who
complain the United States has been
more vigorous in its dealings with
Germany than with Great Britain.
The violation Of the natural right
of life is much more serious of1ense
against an. individual and against his
nation" said Secretary Lansing. than
the violation Of the legal right Of
property. Can you doubt for a mo-
nent which one gives this government
the greatest concern?"
That there was an influence in
America and even in congress which
put right Of property and right Of life
on a par, Secretary Lansing declared,
showed that "the great heart OF the
Republic is threatened with fatty de-
generacy through those who have lost
their patriotic vigor; that many Amer
leans have become lovers Of ease rata'
er than lovers Of national honor"

CATION Of races and sexes on the coun-
ty chaingangs. I am informed that in
some Of the counties Of the state white
prisoners and negroes are being work,
ed together in violation Of this law.
am confident that where this is true,
it IS because Of an oversight or
thorough ignorance Of this particular
Law, and I am writing you this letter
to call to your attention in order that
