CANDIDATE HUGHES FAILURE.

THERE is much truth IN Senator Walshs statement to
the effect that Candidate Hughes speech making tour
of the country now about completed his own undong
He has failed to impress His outline of the issues OF the
campaign arouses no enthusiasm He appears unable to
inject enough steam into the campaign get it started
Mr. Hughes is undoubtedly doing the best he can, he
Is whose capacity for getting to the bottom OF things
is we'll established But the truth is there little or moth
inc for him to talk about The notable achievements of the
Wilson administration have Just about left the &. o. T.
without talking point il except the protective tariff
theory And the protective tariff theory poor issue at
time like this when the country is prosperous and
satisfied
The public addresses of the republican standardbearcr
have been widely read The public has been following him
closely in the hope Of being able to find suggestion OF
value affecting foreign affairs wholesome criticism or
domestic Aside from his castgaons on pork barrel
legislation and his argument in favor OF budget system
it has searched in vain The burden of his speeches have
been common carping and caving He has INDUCED in
wealth of criticism without saying what he would have
done under like circumstances.
The public is not satisfied with criticism alone 1t de-
mands more constructive policy While ii may grant the
whoesomeness of criticism it insists upon having al
Tentative policy outlined This Candidate Hughes has
failed to do He has criticized the president for his Mexi
can policy without stating what he would have done under
similar circumstances He has censured him for his deal
ings with Germany without outlining the Hughes aterna-
tive policy
President Wilson has undoubtedly made some mistakes
in his three years in the White House He is human. But
his handling of foreign problems in a way which ha'
spared us from war and at the kept the
in highly prosperous condition considerations whic'
the average man will be slow forget next November
He understands that is dangerous business practice t
swap horses while crossing stream

ITO TONS OF HAY BURNED.
Fire at Orleans Sunday Afternoon Was
Set by Boys.

ORLEANS, Oct. 31.-The old ellis
barn on Irasburg street, owned by the
+. l.. Chandler Co., was completely
destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon.
The building contained 1l0 tons of hay
and the fire was probably set by three
boys who were seen running from back
of the building about the time the fire
was discovered.
The village fire department respond
ed to the alarm and did well to save
the nearby buildings which caught be
cause of the stiff breeze which blew
toward them. Part of the time the
firemen were obliged to be protected
from the flames by large door which
other helpers held over them.
The four-inch water main on the
street did not give sufficient pressure
for the needed stream and two of the
mill company's pumps were set in ac-
ton.
The building and contents were a
total loss. Guards watched the place
during the night, for the hay was
burning at late hour.

How to Be Rid Of
Disgusting Dandruff

The only way to be permanently rid
Of disgusting, untidy dandruff is to
correct its cause. Shampooing merely
cleanses the scalp for few days, then
the scales form again as thick as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid of dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply a little of the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp, and rub it in with the finger
tips for a few minutes until absorbed
by the scalp. You will surely be
amazed at the result of even one ap.
plication, for your hair and scalp will
look and feel 100 per cent better
Only a few days massage with
Partisan Sage is needed to destroy the
germs that cause the dandruff to form
The scalp becomes healthy, the hair
will grow better and show more life
and vitality, and you need never be
troubled by dandruff again Faded
dull or lifeless hair is quickly restored
to beauty by this simple process, which
is absolutely harmless, and win not
stain the hair or make it greasy.
Partisan Sage can be obtained from
Wilfred F. Root and druggists every
where. 1t is not expensive.

2,2OO-YEAR-OLD LETTER
READ AT THE u. OF P.
DR.. Langdon Opens and Translates an
Order for Flour Given in Ancient
Babylon.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31.-A letter
written 1900 years before Christ and
never delivered has been opened and
read here.
DIR. Stephen Langdon, formerly of
Oxford university, just appointed Gu
rator of the Babylonian section of the
university museum, opened the letter
with mailet, for it was sealed in a
clay envelope and written in archaic
Sumerian. Translated with great diff
ficulty, the letter proved to be a
naughty order from the writer to a
subordinate concerning deal in flour.
Dr. Langdon is one of the few very
Sumcrian scholars in the world. His
appointment was the result of the war
which so lessened the number of stu
dents at Oxford as to eliminate his
classes.
Text books used at the great college
at the temple of Nippur many, many
thousand years ago have been put OH
exhibition at the museum. DR.. Lang
don has just finished translating them
Among them is an exercise book USED

Di, De, and so on. On the other sid,

BABY ON DOORSTEP.
Authorities of Bloomington Trying to
Find Where Child Came From.

ORLEANS, Oct. 30.-A baby boy was
left on the doorstep of c.. w. Skinner,
of East Bloomington, early Sunday
morning. The child is said to be about
10 months old, healthy, and weighs
about % pounds, with dark hair and
black eyes. 1t was dressed i'll old
clothes and wrapped in horse blanket.
1t looked as if man had cared for it
for some time. 1t seemed better con
tented with men than with women.
The only idea that the authorities
have where the baby came from is that
an automobile was heard by Miss Ell
sic Skinner, daughter of Mrs. Skinner
and a teacher in the Irasburg schools
about 4 a. M. Soon afterwards she
heard child crying but thinking il
was the baby of her brother s family
she paid no attention to the noise unit
a little later when She was agar
aroused. She went to the door an(
found the toddling child.
The selectmen, E. n. Porter and Luke
Brown, and Overseer of the Poor F
G. Crandall were called and a tempo
rary home was found for the deserte,
baby.
All inquiries or information should
be addressed to Mr.. Crandall, Orleans
Vt, R. F. D.
The affair has stirred up the entir'
community and the authorities ar,
doing all in their power to locate tn
parties responsible for the deed.

CATCH BOLD CoUNTERFEITER.
Wilken's Bills Perfect-In Several
Years Had Made Thousands.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-A sharper
watch than ever before will be kept
for counterfeiters as a result of the
nearly perfect achievements in MAX
ing spurious currency of II. r. Will
ken, whose arrest in Santa Cruz, Cali
tornia, has just been announced here
by William FLYNN, chief of the United
States secret service. Wilken is the
first man known, in the long history o.
warfare on counterfeiters, success
fully to produce his own paper in his
own mill-paper so exact a replica of
that used in the bureau of engraving
at Washington that secret service ex-
perts pronounced it an exact duplicate
of the official stock ON which money
is engraved.
Wilken, who was caught after a hunt
of six years during which he defied the
authorities and continued his unlawful
operations, made such excellent imlta-
tons that tellers in sub-treasuries Of
the United States allowed his false
notes TO slip through their fingers I'M
detected. In all Chief Flynn estimated
that he had produced and passed at
least 100000 ''wcth' of bad money.
He began six years ago with a one
dollar bill, which he engraved in large
quantities. When he discovered that
aecret service men were after him, he
skipped about the country, changing
his issue to a two-dollar bill, which he
produced and circulated several years.
On the 18th of this moath after a
battling chase through many states and
then many countries had left the gov
eminent operatives as far from their
quarry as ever, a treasury clerk at
Washington discovered by unusual Wig
lance that two ten-doliar federal re,
serve notes on the Reserve Bank of
Minneapolis bore the same number.
One hundred thousand circulars to
merchants all over the country were
sent out at once, telling them al
about Wilken and the note and the
usual mode he adopted in passing them
a few days ago a stOrekeeper IL
Santa Cruz, who had received one OF
the circulars, was rendered ole of the
notes by customer. He yelled police
and grabbed for the man, who leape6
through a Plate-giass window on The
second floor, only to be caught on the
| sidewalk below. Later he confessed.
After that his plant was raided ant
! the complete counterfeiting outfit, in
| GLIDING a miniature paper mill was
| seized.
