The Fletcher Letter
(Rutland Herald.)

The open letter to Senator Page,
signed by Allen NJ. Fletcher, is docu-
ment containing more barbs than an
artificial minnow. 1t is a dangerous
thing to rise to, but there will be fish
enough to snap at it.
In the opinion of The Herald, the
important part of the letter is the final
paragraph. The only material argument
raised against Mr.. Fletcher has been re-
garding the matter of personal taxes
and he disposes of the allegation thus:
l have at all times paid my taxes as
provided by laws of the state, and on
all my property taxable under the laws
OF the state, and | have neither sworn
to false statement relative thereto or
brlbed any of my associates or family
to violate the law.
The truth of this double barbed SEN
tenee is supported by the sworn state
ment of the listers of the town of Cav
endish, which were published at the
time of Mr.. Fletcher s campaign for
governor, and the concluding jab is a
reference to the Williams statement
which must be thoughtfully considered
of the same character is the chal-
lenge to Senator Page to bring forward
any facts, for which he win become per
sonally responsible, regarding Mr.
Fletcher IS private or public life which
he believes to be damaging. The chal-
lenge is carefully worded and full of
dynamite if any vague insinuations fol
low
The Herald is inclined to think the
reference to the st. Adams Messenger
hardly justified by the Importance of
the ease. The Messenger frantic viii
fication of Fletcher would defeat its
own object in time, but the candidate
is clearly entitled to show where the
animus of the Messenger s attack comes
from
The paragraph gets point and sting
from the query as to why the contem-
porary is not supporting Governor Gates
for the senatorship, an honest man and
a good governor.
Mr.. Fletcher s announcement that he
would have voted for the rural credits
bill is not especially agreeable to The
Herald, whose views on fiat credit are
well known. OF much more importance
is his statement that his voice would
have been raised on the Mexican ques
ton and that he "would have been
found standing for something and some
where. -
All in all, there is a frankness and
openness about the Fletcher letter that
is commendable, especially as it CON
tains matter that no one but the eandi-
date could have written and which is
responsibility signed.
1t is an important public document
and should be carefully read and
weighed.

FACTS TO CONSIDER.

A victory for Fletcher or Gates in
next Tuesdays primary viii be one of
the severest blows to the organization
politicians of Vermont that they have
received in many years. There has not
been time since President E. C. Smith
of the Central Vermont railroad ran for
governor when the representatives of
the so-called interests = corporations
whose policy is to keep a hand on the
political destinies of the state year in
and year out-were working so strenu-
ously and unitedly for candidate as
they are working just at present for
Senator Page.
And the peculiar feature of the situa-
ton is that these same Page boomers
have no great admiration for their can
dldate's personality or respect for his
ability. The reason for their present
activity is two-fold. In the first place,
they do not want a change in the SEN
atorship until such time as thew can
have voice in selecting the incumbent.
They figure that if Page is given one
more sixyear term it will give them
time to groom somebody to take his
place. Secondly, they are determined
to pay off all the grudges they owe
Allen M. Fletcher for treading on their
toes by crushing him politically at this
time. incidentally, they want to satisfy
themselves that they can control things
under the primary system as they did
under the and-convention meth
cd.
There ism t any buncombe about this
statement of the situation. Persons
VINO have Travelled through the state
recently have seen evidences of it in
Montpelier, in st. Adams and in Rut-
land. 1t is evident right here in Brat
tleboro. The crowd that considers it
necessary for business reasons to keep
a hand on politics are making the most
determined kind Of an effort to renom-
mate Senator Page. Indeed, it is gen
orally understood that one of them as
much as told Charles w. Gates that he
must not be candidate for the sena-
torship this year, and it is our own
opinion that perhaps this ''order', had
something to do with Charles w.
oates > decision to do as he pleased.
Republican voters should carefully
consider this situation before casting
their votes in Tuesdays primaries. In
view OF Senator Pages mediocre record
IN congress, the unanswered testimony
concerning his banking methods and the
activity of the year-round politicians in
his behalf, it is difficult to believe that
Republicans with independent tenden-
cles will give him their support. The
denomination of Senator Page will
prove that the cold machine - can CON
troll politics just as well through the
primary as in the convention. For this
reason # for no other, the farmer, the
laporer, the clerk, in fact everyone who
believes in popular government, should
unite IN proving that it exists in Yer
mont today to greater degree than
ever before.

SERUM IN PARALYSIS CASES.
Treatment to Be Applied in Pre- Paralyt
ic Stage by State Board.

The state board of health has re-
ceived sum of money from a friend
to be used in making some investiga-
tions regarding the value of immune
serum in the treatment of poliomyelitis
cases. The serum is obtained from the
blood of individuals who have recovered
from the disease and are, therefore.
immune. After certain preparation
which will be done at the board of
health research laboratory, it is in
jected into the fluid spaces of the spinal
cord, replacing some of the cerebro-
spinal fluid previously Withdrawn. The
treatment will be applied in the pre-
paralytic stage to a limited number of
selected cases, which, in the Judgment
of the attending physician and the
BOARD OF health physician, are likely
to be benefited. The treatment is in the
experimental stage, and too much must
not be expected of it. It is of no use
after paralysis has developed.

TIL e PICNI

The picnic is place where people
go to relax from labor and study the
bug family. There is no place on earth
where the habits and personal eccentric
Iities of the wandering and dissatisfied
bug can be studied to greater advan-
tage than at picnic, when the table
cloth has been laid directly over a
smouldering ant hill.
Picnics are held in the summer time
when the grass is long and green and
insect life is more animated. Great care
is taken to read the weather forecast
and pick out a day that winds up in )
moist rain storm. This teaches us that
the United States Weather bureau,
which is supported by the patient,
perspiring taxpayer, is a lugubrious and
agonizing joke. If congress would quit
distributing free garden seeds and give
out trustworthy barometers instead,
fewer picnic parties would have to be
hauled home in a hack and wrung dry
by anxious parents in the dead of the
night.
Picnics are composed of people who
go and people who provide. Why is it
that so many people are able to go to
picnic after picnic and never have to
furnish anything but bubbling laugh
and two baking powder spoons2 The
injustice of this arrangement has
