DRY SPEAKER ASSAULTED:
Warrant sworn Out for Personal
Liberty Advocate Following Clash.

Campaigning in Prince Georges County
reached a climax last night when J. z.
McBrien, one of the speakers OF the Citi-
zens' Temperance Union, was assaulted
while making a speech at Friendly, Nd.
Mr.. McBrien was badly bruised on the
face.
II Is said that a warrant has been
sworn out before Judge A. d. Bailey
, charging Basil Blandford, of the Per-
sonal Liberty League. with the assault.
In addition to the Presidential election
today, Prince George County will vote
upon the prohibition question, and the

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-09-25

Many of the cities and larger commu-
mites have ordinances which require
street cars to be brought to standstill
on streets in which apparatus of the fire
department is being hauled to a fire, or
in response to an alarm for fire; some of
them enforce the ordinances and, there
fore have a minimum of accidents. Bel
lows Falls, we take it, either has no
ordinances of the sort mentioned. or it
does not enforce the ordinances if it has
them, because a moving street ear collid-
ed with team of horses hauling piece
of apparatus to a supposed fire and one
of the valuable animals of the fire de-
partment was killed, its neck being brok
en-. A simple ordinance, well enforced
might have averted the accident. Many
a community would do well to look after
the enforcement OF its regulations con
corning the hating Of street cars on
streets through which fire department
apparatus is being hauled. for many OF
them are very lax in the matter.

Rumanian Reunion.

For the Rumanan forces that have en-
tered Pennsylvania this is a period Of
happy return 10 the old country and the
kin from whom they have been parted

tion and guard against its kindred IN
Wallacha and Moldavia.
The principal Magyar colony Is banked
up on the Carpathan slope, IN the sze-
KEYS district, right against the Ruma-
MAN border, At that point an invading
army has broken through. South OF the

latter town is the very small Saxon col

Koozscar, When the Rumanian forces
have won these there will be no enemy
left TO fight; in other words, there will
remain hardly a spot in Transylvania IN
which the inhabitants are not wholly
Rumanan. In whatever direction the
advancing army may carry the flag OF

1t is apparent that our New Hampshire

quarries and the manufacturing plants
and has not studied the figures of the
capital invested, the wages paid and the

know the facts, it would not scof at the

Maine for Suffrage /?

The prediction that The Herald made
some time ago that Maine would prob
ably be the first state in New England
to extend the suffrage 10 women gets
substantial confirmation in the recent
election in that state. Nobody knows
what the legislatures in other states in
this section may do when they meet next
winter but ii is settled az well az any
thing can be settled in advance, that the
Maine legislature will submit a suffrage
amendment TO the people who are Ger
tain to have a more kindly feeling to-
ward it than Massachusetts, eyinced a
year ago. The Republicans will control
both branches OF the next Maine legs
lature by thirds vote--the sem
in fact, BY a th-seventh vote and
they are pledged to offer a suffrage
amendment BY platform promises and by
the assurance Of their leaders. The gov
ernor elect is strongly in favor Of woman
suffrage, and nobody questions his SINGER
ity. In the last legislature the Republi-
cans gave their full vote for such an
amendment. but the Democratic leaders
prevented the necessary two thirds vote
in the House.
It has become pretty much party
matter in Maine-and, as usual rum
did it. The Maine women, so tar a
they are organized, are strongly for pro-
hibition. The Republicans, as a party,
are no less strongly committed to pro-
hibition. Under such circumstances the
Democratic leaders have refused to get
enthusiastic over the plan Of votes for
women though doubtless many indlvid-
ual Democrats will vote for it when the
popular test comes, just as many Repub-
Leans will vote against il. The grange,
in no state more influential or prosperous
than Maine. is committed to woman suf-
frage. In many ways Maine has shown
its radical tendencies, and the recent re
buff that suffrage has had in eastern
states will have little influence on Maine
voters when the issues comes to them, as
il certainly will come by action Of the
legislature next winter. Boston Herald.

Do You Want to Know How to Increase

indirectly the traction companies. This
appears strikingly like the old surgical
operation of killing the goose that laid

While 81 100000 is lot of money, it
is mere bagatelle in comparison with
some of the other recent assaults on the
public's pocketbook. There is the 500

must unfailingly be passed along to the

Names Summer Season.

IL is an i'll wind that does not blow a
bit of driftwood on some receptive shore
The fear of infantile paralysis, with the
consequent delayed opening of school and
college, furnishes the cream of the sea-
sons business for the Maine resorts.
From all along the shore from kittery
Point 10 Quoddy Head, and from such
inland resorts as Kineo, Poland Spring
and Belgrade lakes, come reports OF far
more lingering tourists and summer Wis
itors than mid.September has ever
known before. Early in the month, for
the period of few days before Labor
day, there was every prospect that the
bottom of the resort business in Maine
would drop out prematurely and com
pletely. The railway strike rumors
caused many to hasten homeward before
they had planned 10. and the resulting
loss OF business was very large. But far
more remained than is usual in early
September and the number has held up
in unprecedented fashion. And as the
summer visitors reluctantly depart at
last the advance guard OF the army oil
sportsmen begins to arrive.
Most of the Maine crops, except the
hay crop, have fallen below the normal
this year, but the extension of the resort
season gives the whole state very pros
porous feeling. The extended season is
all the more welcome because the wet
weather OF early summer caused light
business in July As for infantile paraly
sis, Maine has actually had fewer cases
this year than in 1915, when its total for
the year was only 10. And happy those
whom fate or fortune has led to inger
in Maine into September, for the month
is the most delightful of all along it's
