Should Nominate Hughes.

George w. Perkins statement that
the progressives will not insist upon
the nomination Of Theodore Roosevelt
by the republicans is certainly fair
They would like to see Roosevelt NOM
mated but if the republicans will not
agree to the Colonel the progressives
will simply ask the republicans ito
name us their man who ought to be as
nearly unanimous as our man is said
Mr.. Perkins. He continued: I'VE
are willing to be reasonable for the
sake of harmony" The republicans
can ask no more and should attempt
to name a man who will be acceptable
to all parties. Elihu Root is not such
a man, despite his great ability and
experience in large national matters.
Justice Hughes is such a man and his
nomination at Chicago would bring a
very large proportion Of the 1900. 900
votes cast for Roosevelt and Taft four
years ago to the republican candidate.
Justice Hughes failure for so long a
time to say he would not accept the
nomination must be considered strong
evidence that he would accept it if
rendered. So we feel the republicans
should go unanimously for Hughes
and settle the campaign at its open
ing.

Canada is in trouble over its rail-
ways. The government built the Ma
tional Transcontinental line and leas-
ed it to the Grand Trunk railway.
Now the Grand Trunk asks to be re-
lieved of its contract as it cannot
bear the expenses of operating the
new line. The Canadian Northern
line. of which the government has
guaranteed 500. 600. 900 worth of it's
securities is also asking for govern
ment aid. The Canadian government
has been aiding the construction of
railroads to develop the great agricul-
tural territory of the west, but it evil
IDENTIFY has a serious proposition be-
fore it to operate it's roads.

England certainly is in a serious
position. In addition to the fighting
on the German front. for which it's
working men most reluctantly furnish
munitions, it has the great outburst of
Irish indignation over the execution of
the Irish rebels. That rebellion was
largely the work of Germany and
every one who took part in it openly
assaulted his government. The blow
was struck when the home govern
ment was least prepared to receive it
and it and the indignation felt at
present may seriously handicap Eng
land in the successful prosecution of
the European war.

One hundred and fifty thousand peo-
Pile in line marching through the
streets of New York Saturday was a
powerful demonstration in favor of
preparedness. 1t is another verificaS
ton of the statement of Talcott Will
liams at the banquet of the Vermont
Press association that the patriotism
of a nation lies in it's borders" The
great central portion of the country
naturally does not feel so much
alarmed over a possible foreign attack
as those living where they will re-
ceive the first blows. Congress will do
we'll to heed the sentiment of the Dor
ders as shown at New York Saturday.
Attention is being given to the gran
lite deposits in the northern part of
Sheffield, an excellent quality of stone
being quarried there. We hope
this viii prove the discovery Of an
other Acre OF Diamonds" right here
in northeastern Vermont.

The efficiency of the railroads in
safe transportation is shown by the
statement that 325 American roads
operating 161,94S miles of line dur
ing the year ending June 80 did not
kill a passenger in a train accident.
Only 1915 passengers were killed on all
ing the year 1915. 1t has been found
more economical to prevent accidents
than to settle with the victims, so the
Improvement is to the financial ad-
vantage as well as evidence of the
careful management of the American
railroads.

The arraignment of thirteen men.
some Of them state officers, political
workers and liquor dealers. for the
collection and expenditure Of a cam
paign fund for bribing the voters
shows that the people are not all
honest. At the same time it reveals
the danger of resorting to dishonest
political methods today. If they did
buy votes as alleged we hope they will
be severely punished.

The value of New England farm
lands has increased ten per cent the
the past four years, according to the
past year and seventeen per cent in
government report. This is an en-
couraging piece of news and should
encourage further investment in New
England lands as there is no prospect
they will decrease in value for many
years to come.

Peoples Academy Won.
A desperate rally by the locals clos
ed up considerable gap in the score
Saturday afternoon, but the little old
"Jinx" positively refused to quit his
job and stuck around until he saw st.
J. A. beaten by Peoples Academy IL
to 8. The visitors won the game in
the first three innings when they col
lected 10 tallies, mainly through weird
fielding by st. J. A. 1t was an off day
for nearly everybody, although Witty
was keeping the hits well scattered.
He had little incentive to work hard,
however, with the ragged support he
was receiving. AS will be seen by the
summary, the locals outhit Norris
Vile, but when IL errors are figured
in for the opponents it goes a long
way towards giving the game away.
Ellis was pretty wobbly at first and
made a raw muff of an easy pop, evil
IDENTIFY not wanting to be outdone by
Tillotson who had previously dropped
the simplest kind of a chance In right.
These fellows braced up, however, and
played good ball afterward, which is
more than can be said of Captain Gal
lagher. Six misplays in one nine-in-
ming game is some record, although
not an enviable one, and it is likely
to stand for some time.
The boys made a great stand in the
fourth and not only repulsed the in
vading forces but made many good
gains, and for four innings thereafter
piled up runs in an endeavor to over
take Morrisville and it is creditable tc
them that they cut the lead down tc
only two runs.
Another feature not at all to the
credit of the student body was the
lack of attendance and the absence OF
school spirit at this game. The boyi
are working hard out there on the
diamond and need all the encourage
ment they can get. 1t is the easies
thing in the world to pull for win
ner, but the reals sportsman will stay
win or lose. The summary:

The new yearbook will contain the
Carroll statistics of the annual growth
OF religious bodies This year these
statistics will. it is said. be ready a
month earlier, and indications now are
that on the whole they viii show no
unusual growth.
A few of the larger bodies are al
ready known to have fallen off rela-
lively as compared with the previous
year Religious bodies now close their
fiscal years on all possible dates and
make up membership statistics OF
nearly every month of the twelve.
Efforts are to he made to induce
end that statistics may come out at
the beginning of each calendar year
and be for the same periods in all
bodies. Reform in respect to religious
statistics and their gathering is said
to be sadly needed.
