Granite State Politics.

New Hampshire has been enjoying 8
period of exceptionally able and compe
tent administration in the executive de
partment. Gov. ROLAND H. Spaulding
one of the keenest and most successful
manufacturers in the Granite state, has
applied himself with quite as great sue
cess to the business of being governor
1t is matter of congratulation that a
candidate for the Republican nomination
to succeed him of such unusual quail
ty and promise as Henry W. Keyes OF
Haverhill has entered the lists.
Mr.. Reyes has given the state a
reliable gauge of his capacity for pub
lie service through two terms as chair
man Of the state license board, or, as
it Is now known, the state excise commits
sion. 1t was under his Craftsmanship of
this board that New Hampshire changed
from a prohibition to local option
community. and the duty OF making such
a change, onerous and difficult enough,
was carried through by Mr.. Keyes and
his associates on the first licensing body
with sturdy Independence. rigid impair
TALLY and stern insistence upon letter
perfect observance of the terms of the
new law. When the Republican admin
two years ago succeeded the
Democratic regime and reorganization
Of the commission was undertaken, the
state readily and promptly turned t.

Gates Has Most Friends.

Governor Charles w. Gates is also a
candidate for United States senator and
the entries are now all in so far as sus.
perted cases are concerned Governor
Gates is a most popular man. He is
liked as governor and makvs friends
This cannot be said to be due to any
constructive policy he has inaugurated
or stand he has taken on important is
sues for he hasn't even attempted either,
but it is due to the fact that he handles
the affairs of state without making enc
mics and believes that more progress can
be secured by avoiding friction than in
a fight He hasn't had the experience of

Papers Not For Page.

1t is inspiring to note how many Yer
mont papers are not coming out for
Page. In fact census of the press
would show more of the recognized lead
ing papers with a leaning distinctly away
from him. This should disa buse the
minds of the people who think the press
is controlled by its advertising patron
age because Page has been one of the
most liberal advertisers in Vermont for a
number Of years. The fact of the case
is, the press of Vermont is one of the
most Independent influences in the state,
actuated by honest and unselfsh mo-
tives.-Barton Monitor.

Maybe Governor Gates will emerge
from a grilling senat orial contest bet
ter fighting candidate than the man
who had the gubernatorial nominat ton
passed him on a platter in 1914. In a
real test of endurance, the executive may
develop surprising qualities as a slayer,
thereby discounting the prediction Of
those who see in his candidacy the ad-
vent Of forlorn hope merely because
his opponents are known everywhere as
seasoned campaigners. In some quarters,
it may be recalled, campaigning of the
most strenuous sort didn't count for
much in 1914.

ROOSEVELT WITHDRAWS
NAME FROM BALLOTS
Colonel Not to Run in Any
State Primary, Announce
ment Says

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--lf Colonel Roosc-
welt is seeking the Republican nomination
for President. as u number of politicians
have asserted he is at least determined
not to permit his name to appear on tho
ballots in any of the States where dele
gates to the national conventions are
chosen at the primaries. This order will
apply to the ticket submitted by the
Progressive party as well.
That much was settled definitely yes
terday when the Colonel sent letter
from oyster Bay to the office of Sec
retary of State Vaughan at Lansing,
Mich, requesting him to sec to it that
his name was not placed on the ballot
as the candidate of any party. He had
received n message from Mr.. Vaughan
informing him that his adhcrents i'm both
the Republican and Progressive parties
had filed n sufficient number of names
to put his hat in the ring.
As soon as this letter was sent, the an
nounccmcnt was permitted to 20 out that
Colonel Roosevelt would not appear a
candidate in the primal. elections I'm any
of the States. The position the Colonel
takes is that he Is not a candidate in any
sense of the wC?d, at this time at least.
But the chances are that the Colonel.

MOTHER AND HER THREE
BABIES IN SAD PLIGHT
Husband in Hospital and Fam
lily Must Sleep on Floor of
Their Desolate Home

What is known to many as charity has
been instrumental in giving a certain
amount Of food to Mrs. Frank Boski
and her three children. and this food has
kent them alive. But there was not
enough charity to keep her off the floor
OF her room at 1897 South 9Th street
Upon the floor she sleeps.
SO do the children but 1t does not hurt
them so much, because they get the
lions share of the food that comes Into
the house and so are better fortified
against the cold; and besides, children do
not worry about their discomforts. But
Mrs Boski worries about her health be-
cause it is of vital Importance to her to
he Mt least reasonably taken care of
just now, as she expects another child
within n month
There was a report of the case in
morning newspaper, and an investigation
today has verified statements concerning
the plight of the Boskis. Her husband
is in the Philadelphia Hospital with ty-
phold fever. 1t will be many long day
before he is able to do anything for his
family. Before his present Illness he had
been steadily employed. A few weeks be-
fore Christmas he occupied n position as
an extra clerk in local express office
In few days he began to feel i'll. Mrs
Boskl heard her husbands complaints in
a fever of trepidation. She had never
been compelled to ask assistance from any
one outside the family. He became
weaker and weaker. one day had to stay
home. a doctor told him he had typhoid
He would have to go to a hospital, But
how shall we get along?" said Mrs. Boski
The moment he stopped work their system
of hand to-mouth living fell like house
of cards.
Boslki made for the door, to go to work,
but he was weak that he fell down, and
he had to be helped to the hospital-the
hospital where the poor do not have to
pay and which is, therefore, in dilapi-
dateu and neglected conditon-the Phila-
delphia Hospital.
The Society for Or anizing Charity has
done the best II could do for Mrs. Bosld.
but there are many claims upon the So
ciety, and In order to be fair to all II can
not give too much to any one person. For
this reason. Mrs. Boski. unable to work
because of her condition, could get
enough to eat for herself and her chill
dren, but not blankets and sheets and
beds-for beds had gone by the board, to
the pawnbrOkers,
For a month now the woman has been
struggling along. There Is no coal in the
house, and there has been but little fuel
there for month-stray bits of wood.
The cold Is deep-seated in the walls and
floor of the room of the Boskis.
