The Boston News Bureau says that
one of the committee votes in favor
Of confirming Brandeis as supreme
court justice is recorded as given by
Senator Fletcher of Florida. Mr.
Fletcher left the United States March
S and when the committee vote was
taken, in which he voted yes, he was
in Buenos Aires, fostering friendly re
lations with South America and Incl
dentally enjoying . rare journey at the
expense of the country. If the state
ment is correct, the holding of hear
ings must be pronounced q farce, for
Mr. Fletcher could not have heard ev-
idence given after he was on the high
seas. The paper pointedly asks what
would be thought of a juror, who left
trial early i'll the case and left be
hind him his vote on the verdict. The
incident is discouraging evidence of a
purely partisan view of the important
case. Mr. Fletcher is = fine specimen
of the rubber stamp type of states

Great Britain is bearing up wonder
fully under the. loss to her merchant
marine b. reason of mines, torpedoes
and other causes incident to the war.
According to Commerce Reports, pub
hshed by our own government, Great
Britain s commerce showed a gain
during February over February year
ago III beth imports and exports. To-
tai imports were 1927 ,75o, 225, an in
crease of $10,452, l28, and exports Of
domestic products, excluding re-exports
of foreign products, were $117,828,0S3,
an advance of $40, ABS, O19, or 38.S per
cent. Evidently the German submarine
campaign, although it has destroyed q
great many British and neutral ships,
has made little if any gain over the
continuous output of new ships.

Big Increase in Wages.
(Rutland News.)

With decrease of 90 per cent in
the number of establishments and a
decrease of So per cent in the num-
Der of persons engaged in manufac-
ture, Vermont was nevertheless able
to show an increase of 1874 per cent
in value of outputs from 1909 to 1914.
That might be called triumph for
efficiently Barre Times
Of course, it must be remembered
that in the five years noted, from 1909
to 1914, there has not only been an in
crease IN efficiency but there has been
even a greater increase in the wage
rate. The probabilities are that in those

There was no get Villa dead or

can troops to go into Mexico. In fact
Villa was not directly mentioned The
soldiers were simply told to dispense
the bandits who made life unsafe on
the border. There seems to be a growing
impression on all sides that the troops
will be called back to the United
States within short time. Such a
course will certainly increase the con
tempt in which the Mexicans already
hold Americans.

though absent, their memory fingers
in the hearts of the friends at home.
The committee desires, also, to take
some material expression of Keokuk' 8

long time until the first pay day. In
the meantime the men will want to
smoke. They will be on the hard
rations Of the field, without any OF
the dainties that go with ordinary

made to secure funds to purchase
fruits, tobacco and cigars. Each man
will be given pipe, and a large sup
ply of tobacco. L. A. Hamjll is behind
this effort.

Walton OF this city. accidentally shot
himself through the left side this
morning while cleaning an old re-
volver. The bullet took an upward
course and is lodged near the heart.
His condition is critical and his
death Is expected by relatives who
are anxiously watching at the bedside.
DR.. G. r. Armentrout Of Keokuk was

crate.
Mr.. Walton arose earlier than 9TH
er members Of the household and was
sitting on the cellar steps cleaning
up the weapon. He had already taken
out three loads. His wife who was
upstairs at the time, heard a report
Of the revolver and ran down stairs
to find her husband crumpled over
on the stairs with bullet wound
through his side. No one saw the &C
cident and it is not known how the
gun was discharged.
Mr. Walton is sixty years old and
Is quite a prominent member of this
community He is q we'll to do farm
er and has extensive interests.

only by Mr.. Lotion and Mr.. Hamill,
but by all others interested In the
welfare of the men, that a large fund
may be raised to give the men these

necessities, nevertheless minister
greatly to their comfort.

THE OLD FLAG FOREVER.
She's up there, Old Glory, where

She dazzles the nations with nipples

And she'll wave DER US living, or
droop DER our dead
The flag Of our country forever!
She's up there, Old Glory, how bright

And the stripes like red signals OF

And We dare for her living, or dream

Meath, the flag Of our country forever.
She's up there, Old Glory, no tyrant

Nor blur on her brightness, no stain

The brave blood of heroes hath

She's the flag of our country forever!
