A POLITICAL AID TO GATES.

We haven't heard so much lately about
Gov Gates playing politics by calling a
special session of the Vermont legisla
ture. In fact, the charge fell fiat just
about as soon as it was made. This is
the way in which the Randolph Herald
and News treated the matter in its last
issue: The unwarranted charge that
Governor Gates, in calling the special
legislative session, was seeking to push
his senatorial canvass originated and
was pressed from the Fletcher quarter.
This fact ought to dispose of the claim.
frequently made on the Page side, that
Gates is running simply to help Fetch
err" As a matter OF fact, the charge
against Gates was Of the boomerang or
der and it rebounded against the side
which presented IL Gates is conducting
only a clean campaign if it may be said
that he is conducting campaign at all,
and he is winning support right and left
just because he is not going into the
dirty methods of political campaigning
which his two opponents are indulging
in as between themselves

The German capacity for resistance on
the western war front has been weakened
very greatly during the past few months,
while the British and French combined
driving power has been greatly increased
by the introduction of fresh British arm
les and the use of vast stores of ammu-
milton. The direct change of conditions
was well typifed by the allies push
ahead in the region covering an eight
mile front between Longueyal and Clery
on Sunday, the advance being made with
display of tremendous power. On the
other hand, the German gains are rela
lively unimportant and are accomplished
only after the expenditure of a great
deal of energy. The British and the
French are holding onto their offensive
with remarkable tenacity.

Charles L. Hughes showed pronounced
tact in meeting the hostile attacks OF
rabid opponents in Nashville, Tenn,
where he tried to make speech and was
halted frequently at the outset, only to
turn the edge of the attack and make
friends out of hostles. At the same
time Hughes displayed fearlessness in
meeting the sharp sallies OF individuals
in his audience, as well as by severely
criticizing Wilson in territory where the
present chief executive stands strongly.
Hughes Demonstrated that he is not a
pussyfooter.

The fifth and last military training
camp to be held at Plattsburg opens this
week. The amateur soldiers will run
into the most bracing kind of weather
for their activities, really the best kind
of the whole summer season for carrying
on military maneuvers. The nights they
will find plenty cool enough to be con-
ducive to sound slumber and the days
they will find to be warmed by kindly
autumn sun. The soldiers who broiled
under the heat OF the midsummer sun in
the previous military camps might well
envy the men who are just going into
ramp.

The Bulgsrians took another leaf out
of the German military book and began
an invasion OF Rumania just as soon as
war was declared between the two ma
tons. The German code of instructions
is to get the jump on the enemy and.
falling to gain further, TO hold what has
been seized. Still it does not seem likely
that Bulgaria can hold for very long any
territory that she may take at this june

ture because the Rumanian army itself
is undoubtedly equal to the Bulgarian
to say nothing of the Russian hordes
that may be let down into the encounter
with Bulgaria to swing the balance of
power in favor of Rumania Bulgaria
may gain temporary success in Ruma
MAN territory, but the reckoning will
come later

the most Unsuitable voter. These candi-
dates are pledged to Eugene Foss and Will
liam Sulzer, the majority of them for the
latter. There will also be four candidates
from the second district sent to the ma

READING NOTICES
OPPORTUNITY

With doubt and dismay you are smitten
You think there's no chance for you,
Why the best books haven't been written,
The best race hasn't been run.
The best score hasn't been made yet,
The best song hasn't been sung,
The best tune hasn't been played yet,
Cheer up, for the world is young.
No chance? Why the world is just eager
For things that you ought to create,
It's store of wealth is still meager
It's needs are incessant and great.
1t yearns for more power and beauty,
More laughter love and romance,
More loyalty labor and duty,
No chance? Why there is nothing but
chance.
For the best verse hasn't been rhymed yet,
The best house hasn't been planned,
The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet,
The mightiest ruins aren't spanned.
Don't worry and fret, faint-hearted
The chances have just begun,
For the best jobs haven't been started,
The best work hasn't been done.
A crowd of troubles passed him by
AS he with courage waited;
He said, "Where do your troubles fly,
When you are thus belated?"
We CO. they go, to those who NOPE,
Who look on life detected,
Who weakly say goodbye to hope,
We go where we're expected
