Withal, he conveys the idea of earnest
ness and power.
The Hughes audiences know speedily
that they are facing Hughes the man
and not Hughes the judge. He has
abandoned wholly the atmosphere and
even the traditions of the bench, which
for six years surrounded and restrained
him, and has plunged into the cam
paign with his coat off and his armor
on. There is no condescension about his
acceptance of the nomination.; he has
said that he responded to the impera
tive call of great party to be its can
didate; and there is not the slightest
doubt that he speaks the precise truth.
If he shall be defeated, there will be
| no reproaches; if he shall be elected,
he will discharge his great trust as a
patriot and a statesman and not as a
partisan nor a Little American.
The deepest impression Mr.. Hughes
leaves behind him is of his sincerity
and of his competency. He will do as
President, SO far as he can, what as
candidate he promises to do. There
will be no violated pledges, no double
twistings, no facing both ways, no eat
ing of words, no swallowing of prom
ises. Not at all. He is a doer, and nc
mere talker.

Anonymous Letters.
(Middlebury Register

Anonymous letters attacking the
character of citizens or public officers
are dishonorable and coWardly. We
doubt if the publication of such letters,
even if the names of the writers are
known to the editor, is in accord with
the highest newspaper ethics.
Some months ago the BurlingtoH
Free Press published an anonymous at
tack Oh Middlcbury college and its
president with reference to taxation,
A reply was made promptly, with cl-
tation of facts. Shortly thereafter the
officers of the college received an apo
ogy from the anonymous writer, with
admission that he had been misin-
formed.
Recently the Free Press has given
space to an anonymous attack on
Judge Weeks and the management OF
the industrial school. 1t is clear that
the motive was personal spite, and that
an honest facing of facts would com
pei a retraction, as in the former in
stance Undoubtedly such cowardly as
saults make friends for those they at
tempt to iniure, but that does not cX
cuse the publication which cooperate
with an assassin who shoots in TIL

A Shameless Surrender.

augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, Sept. p
Clearly, it would be just as lawful
for Congress to fix the wage scale
by providing "eight hours work with
10 hours pay for railroad clerks,
stenographers, auditors, etc. \ 2ropo-
sition so manifestly absurd that no one
would think of proposing it.
OF course, such law won't stand,
1t is not intended to stand. 1t is
merely play for time-uhtil after the
national election. Politics - simple,
but not pure.
A shameless surrender, rather, tc
the purely selfish demands of a body Of
men who are supposed to control some
100000 or more votes.
How much, better, and more like or
ganized government, would it be tC

and settle them on their merits-with

cies of the case.

we drifting? Or perhaps plunging

SPANS TURN NEXT.
Must Choose Between the Two Groups
of Belligerents.

PARIS, Sept. 13.-Spain must decide
in favor of one or other of the groups
of belligerents in the opinion of Antonio
Maura, former premier and leader of
the Conservative party, according to
news dispatches from Madrid quoting
an address delivered by Senior Maura.
The address was delivered at Beran-
ga, near Bilbao at a meeting attended
by 5000 Mauristas. The former premier
declared, according to the dispatches,
that Spain could not abandon her neu-
trality, but that the conditions of the
war made her isolation henceforth i'm
possible. He is quoted as saying that it
was, moreover, essential that France
and England should not be hostile to-
ward Spain.
The Madrid dispatches predict that
Senior Maura s speech will make a
strong impression throughout the coun-
try, as his prestige never was so high
as at present. A majority of his fol
lowers are supposed to be pro-German
in their sympathies.

Well, Vermont has had its first ex-
leaves Senator Carroll S. Page "stiek
ing close to the job. AS a result of
yesterday S voting the veteran senator
from Hyde Park is assured of another
term in Washington, or at least as much
of it as his age will allow him to serve.
The Rcformcr looks for no great things
from Senator Page from now on for the
reason that he has accomplished moth
ing eonspicuously statesmanlike i'll the
eight years he. has already been in
Washington. His victory yesterday
came about as the result of the most de
termincd support of the organization
forces throughout the state, and it fore
casts another equally stubborn contest
when the time comes to name his sue
cesSor.
While naturally disappointed at Sen
ator Pages victory The Reformer is
able to extract considerable comfort
from the primary results. First and
foremost, it notes with extreme approx
al the way Brattleboro repudiated the
Page appeal. Townshend, Vernon and
4 Wardsboro are open to congratulation
4 for the same reason. Furthermore, the
operation Of the primary in this county
4 demonstrates that 4 candidate from 8
small town can win against one from 8
large town, opponents of the new law
4 to the contrary Notwithstanding. This
4 is shown by the lead which Mr.. Dewitt
of Newfanc secured over Mr.. Divoll OF
/ Rockingham in the scnatorship contest
Another good thing that the primary
i has accomplished is the overturn of tho
custom of passing around the office OF
state s attorney. Mr.. Daley's nomina
tion means that the duties of thfs i'm
portant office will be in the hands of {
competent and experienced man during
the next two years.
AS nearly as can be determined a.
this time the primary method of nomi
nation has come up to the expectations
of its supporters on its first test, and i
is safe to assume that any attempt t,
bring about its repeal will meet will
immediate and positive disapproval.

The overall is loose, flowing imita-
ton of the japanese kimono, which IS
worn by men who are not particular
about fit. 1t is made from the same
measurements as the kimono, but has
two hip pockets which are not included
in the latter, owing to the fact that

spending money except for groceries
and milk ticket.
Men who wear overalls do not have
them fitted to their forms by high
priced merchant tailors with concave
underpinning. 1t is considered a good
fit when the overalls do not drag on the
ground like brides veil. Fastidious
people object to the overall on this ac-
count, but if they had to pull 3. pair on

Col. +. II. Hale, one of the two new

Maine ever regains the prestige which

(NaShua, y. H., Telegraph.
"We denounce the profigate waste
of the money wrung from the people
by oppressive taxation through the Law
ish appropriations of recent Republican
congresses, which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of
the people s toll. We demand return
to that simplicity and economy which
BELTS a Democratic government and q
reduction in the number of useless of
fees, the salaries of which drain the
substance of the people. democratic
National Platform, 1912.
Nothing more clearly exemplifes the
radical difference between the platform
pledges of the Democrats and its per-
formances than the plank quoted and
the performance of the congress just
ended, which has created inlumerable
new and useless offices and appropri-
ated $2,000,000,000 of the people s
money With only the first session of
the sixtyfourth congress completed, the
Democrats have appropriated in exact
figures, $1,947 ,259,04 The Democrats
have spent over $S,000,000 day for
every one of the 245 days life of this
session, including Sundays and holt
days.
The administration estimates the to-
tai revenues for the next fiscal year at
1862 ,000,0 900. They contend. however,
that the deficit will not be quite as
large as these figures would make it
appear because payment of some of
the government S bills can be deferred
until later on. 1t will however, re-
quire an even more adroit exhibition
of juggling with treasury figures than
Secretary McAdoo has thus far dis
played to conceal the fact that Demo
cratic economy has produced substan-
TALLY a million dollar deficit. After
the election, the public will be per-
mitted to know the extent of bond
sales which the administration contem-
plates.
Never before in the history of the
nation has a single congress been so
profligate in its expenditures of the
peoples money. Probably it will be
long before the voters will permit
Democratic inefficiency to perpetrate
such colossal economic plumbers as has
the present administration
