There is expressed by some a des-
ire that Congressman Dale devote
part of his time to getting acQuaint-
ed with thessfew citizens in his dis
trict who are unfortunate in not
personally knowing Vermont's rep
resentative from the second district.
We are sure nothing would please
Mr.. Dale more than to meet these
residents of his.district, but, at this
time he has been called to take an
active part in our national campaign,
a larger field, and where party issues
are more closely drawn and of vastly
more Importance to the success of
his party, than is the call from those
in his own district for a better &C.
quaintance tour. However glad Mr..
Dale would be to respond to this call
from his home state, duty points
another way, and the other matter
can we'll wait for more convenient
season. We ought to be content to
know that our representative has
been selected for this important
work and take pride in the honor
that comes to the state through Mr..
Dale's appointment and the good
service he is doing in the campaign.
The following from the Burlington
Free Press ought to put quietus
on all worrying over not knowing
Congressman Dale:
If some of those who are worrying
about Congressman Dale were doing
as good service as he is in this cam
paign, they would be in a better
position than now to sit on the fence
occasionally and croak

Harp of the North" is the title
of little book Of charming poems
by Arthur w. Hewitt of Plainfeld.
Singularly touching are the poems
of this Vermont author. They are
we'll written, the lyric is pleasing,
and the sentiment is uplifting.
These pastoral sonnets are reminis-
cent, now merry and now sad, and
picture accurately the joys AMI sor-
rows of country life. This work of
Mr.. Hewitt will place HIM among
the list of Vermont's best authors.
Read this from I'm Shadowland':
40 Angel stayl fear this land
OF amaranth and asphodell"
"Nay, fear not Shadow, all is we'll,
For see, hold thy hand"
There is mcrriment in The Shep-
herds Daughter" which begins
with
Where down the sunny fountain
Gushed the gurgling water
The lad that picked the apples
Met the shepherds daughter.
For rollicking fun and humor read
"Gawky." This is one of the verses:
He caught her. She wrigg1ed and squealed,
ooh you quit!
You BOBBY, behave yourself, Jim!
Your kissing l do not want any of it"
But the holyhocks nodded at him
Cat Jim,
The holl vhocks nodded at HIM
Mr.. Hewitt is pastor of the Meth
odist church at PIainield, he is a
member of the State Board of Edu-
cation and known as 1.-The orator of
the House of 1915" A copy of the
Harp of the North" would delight
every home.

judges of city and municipal courts
on the state pay roll, or twenty-six
justices and judges to preside Over
its courts. This work was formerly
done by a much less number and we
believe the law was just as fairly
and efficiently administered under
the old system. There surely has
not been an increase in the work OF
the judiciary depai tment to warrant
the increase in expense Of admins
tration. 1t looks very much as
though the judiciary depa tment
was top-heavy in its administration.
A community that can successfully
maintain lecture course shows pro-
gressive citizenship. There is no one
thing in social life that marks more
definitely an effort for purer thought,
better lives and a higher standard of
individual character than a well
patronized lecture course. 1t is a
credit to Island Pond that this effol t
meets with success, and that the
the Ladies' Literary Club is first and
foremost in this good work.
Vermonters will be glad to learn
that Senator Carroll S. Page has left
the hospital at Rutland, where he
has been taking the rest treatment,
and gone to Atlantic City, N. j.,
where he will probably remain until
Congress opens.

The Burlington Clipper was de-
cidedly enterprising in printing in
full detail the campaign expenses of
the candidates for Senator, filed in
the office of the Secretary of State.
The prices range from practically
regular rates to the uncalled-for
rate of fifty cents an inch, the Argus
and Patriot receiving the most mon
ey of any paper in the state, $942. 90.
We tail to see the justice or fairness
in charging such excessive rates for
political advertising. 1t should be
charged with no higher rate than
any other advertising similar in COM
position. 1t will be a long time be-
fore a Vermont newspaper will again
reap such rich harvest of political
advertising, and while we all need
the money we believe it most unfair
and unwise to take advantage of
candidates who use the advertising
columns of the newspaper to give
publicity to their prediction work.
The expense of the judicial de-
partment of Vermont has increased
from $214, 1889. 70 in 1903 to SALT ,876.-
SO in 1915. The state now has
twelve judges where formerly it had
seven. Besides these it has fourteen

FROST JURORS ASTOUNDED
 AT BRIBE CHARGES Men Who Served in Alaskan Coal Trial Surprised at Accusa-
 ton Against Member.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-A number of the men who served as jurors in the Frost Alaska coal land trial before Judge Landis three years ago went to the federal building yesterday in re- sponse to summones and were ques- toned by Assistant District Attorney Albert l.. Hopkins and Allan J. Carter. Hinton c. Clabaugh, chief of the bureau of investigation, also took a hand in the examination.
 All expressed surprise at the charges of bribery in connection with the jury District Attorney Charles F. Clyne decided to continue the pre- liminary investigation of the charges that William Bourke, former mayor of Blue Island, had been paid a bribe of S5,OOO while serving as juror in the case. For that reason the grand jury took a recess until Jan. 24.
 Attorney Offers Aid
 Counsel for the defendants in the Frost ease probably will be called in  and examined within a few days. Albert Fink, who was counsel for Albert C. Frost in the trial, called at Mr. Clyne's office during the day and offered the government every assist ance in the bribery investigation.
 The charge was made by Archibald T. Fitzgerald, who is under indict- ment on a charge of conspiracy to conceal assets in the Ernest R. Brick son furniture bankruptcy. Fitzger- ald is held at the Du Page county jail at Wheaton and BOurke IS in the county jail
 Juror Is Astounded
 Charles B. Mead, of Geneva, who was on the Frost jury, was among those questioned
 q was astomded when I heard of the charges" said he. "So far as I know no one was approached with the intent of bribery. I heard or saw nothing that would arouse suspicion" |"
 Others who were questioned were x. NJ. Riddle, Joseph Beatti, Frank Bogard and Charles Chapin.-Chicago Tribune.

DERBY A NEAR KING

LONDON, Jan 31.-Fate only, t became known today, prevented the Earl of Derby, present Director of recruiting, from being in the royal shoes of King Constantine of Greece. In 1862 Prince Otto of Bavaria, then King of Greece, was forced to ab- dicate. In 1863 the Earl of Derby, Prime Minister of England and grandfather of the present Ear, was offered the Hellenic throne. He re- fused it. Had he accepted, the British Director of Recruiting today would be the King of Greece.

Iowa Taxes Doubled in Past Ten
Years.

Taxes in Iowa have almost doub-
led in the last ten years. The report
issued by w. H. Williams, revenue
clerk of the state auditors office,
shows that property owners in 1916
will pay S5O,055,13 in taxes. In
1906 the total taxes paid in the
state was $25,724,1S1.
The taxable value of lands in Iowa
in ten years increased from $685.
81. 402 to $5S4,325, 1884. The tax
able value of personal property re-
manned almost stationary increasing
from $10S,666,055 to $115, 506,427.
In 1906 the sum Of $2,763, 496
was paid into the county fund.
This year the ninety-nine counties
will collect $4,S73,S94 in this fund.
Ten years ago $552,S33 was suttici-
ent for the poor fund. This year the
counties will collect $1,OO8,121 for
the relief of the poor. Widows pen
sions, among other things, caused an
increase of about $4,000 over the
poor tax of last year.
Ten years ago the property owners
paid $1,923, 43l for bridges. This
year $4,114,964 will be collected in
this fund.
City taxes also show a big increase
in ten years. In 1906 $4,233,291 was

the cost is 7,73O,O62.

The candidate is a hopeful citizen
who wishes to hire out to the COM
mon people. This is sometimes call
er times working the people. Owing
to the spread of intelligence and the
prying methods of the daily newspa
per, which turns it's little X-ray on
the candidate several times a week,
this kind of work is harder to make
a living at than formerly.
The candidate is first of all plain
American, ana after that he is a law
yer who was born and reared on the
farm, being in complete sympathy
with the agriculturist. The candi-
date who can not get up on the plat
form and show a pair of calloused
hands, incurred by milking sixteen
cows night and morning as a strug-
Cling youth, has about as much show
in the political race as one armed
man in a ladder climbing contest.
Nine-tenths of all the candidates
now springing up with the blue bird
and the dandelions are lawyers who
would prefer to be something else.
The legal profession has furnished
more feather weight candidates and
red tape legislation than all of the
skilled trades, including floor-walk
erS.
No man should be candidate for
office in this country unless he knows
the difference between a disc harrow
and a corn cutter. He should be a
rough -and-ready speaker, able to
turn at once from Dlisterlng attack
upon the democratic tariff to a tear
full tribute to the little bronze but
ton. He should also belong to three
or four churches, all of the lodges
doing business in the state, and carry
a union card. The only thing that
can defeat a candidate who is thus
equipped is a landslide or valvular
heart trouble.
The candidate should be listened
to with respect, for he may have it
in his power later to distribute gar
den seeds and pOstottices among his
constituents. He should not be judg
ed by his looks, but by his vote. Some
Of the homeliest candidates ever fore
ed into public office have looked beau
tiful to their people during the roll
call on an important measure. 1t is
better to pick out a candidate with a
square head containing few honest
convictions than trust to personal
beauty coupled up with a weak chin.

Dangers of Draft.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is neu-
ralgia, stiff neck, sore muscles or
sometimes an attack of rheumatism.
In such cases apply Sloan's Liniment.
1t stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely and in a short time the stiff
ness and pain leaves. Those suffer-
ing from neuralgia or neuralgia head
ache will find one or two applications
of Sloan's Liniment will give grateful
relief The agonizing pain gives way
to tingling sensation of comfort
and warmth and quiet rest and sleep
is possible. Good for neuritis too.

lefore the war, she now holds still
larger proportion as Germany's one
eighths of the worlds shipping is
locked into port
England realizes she and her al
lies have tough job to drive the
Germans from their positions and
she must conserve all resources to
that end But to date her financial
position has steadily improved in the
exchanges of the world, and from the
highest sources in finance comes the
word from England 30. k
AS ever since the battle of the year
to internationally sound for terms Of
peace, but no attention will be paid
to her calls. The allies understand
perfectly well that Germany is yet in
no position either in sentiment or re-
sources to accept the terms for dis
armament and lasting peace which
will finally be imposed upon her by
all the surrounding nations.

Dreadful Runaway Accident.

One of the most horrible accidents
in Washington township in several
years occurred Wednesday evening
when a four horse team, owned by
Ray D. Fisk, became frightened and
ran away, the two hind legs of one
of the horses being cut off. The horses
were hitched to disc harrow and
Mr.. Fisk was starting boy to work
in the field when the accident occur
red. One horse was so badly injured
that he had to be killed. The two hind
legs were almost completely severed.
The horse was young and in good
flesh and valuable animal. The
others horses escaped without a
scratch.
The runaway horses were caught
on the public highway by Bert Wells
and Roy Downs. E. e. Keller was a
witness to the accident.
Clarence Baker of Leroy had a
runaway the same day with a four
horse team hitched to a disc harrow.
One horse was severely injured.
