THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

President Wilson's speech of
acceptance was comprehensive,
frank and direct.
1t was the utterance of a man
and a political party conscious Of
the honesty of past endeavors and
confident Of ability to cope with
whatever problems the future might
have in store.
No President has ever been
called upon to face more serious
conditions than has Mr.. Wilson. He
has met them with patience and de-
votion that have won the respect and
admiration Of the world.
With domestic legislation to di-
rect, giving the relief from eco
nomic abuses that the country's well
fare demanded, with a long list of
promises to fulfill, the great war that
burst upon the world threatened to
check him in his efforts and to in
volve the nation in the disasters that
are affecting almost every nation Of
the old world.
How he has brought the country
through it all, with honor and with
astounding prosperity, the accept
ance speech succinctly and modestly
tells.
In three and half years the coun-
try has been set Alright, every class
protected in its liberties and its op-
portunities, the whole commercial
system set in order, with prosperity
abounding. And reason has never
abandoned its throne in all of the
country's perplexities.
The speech was a message to the
people of all the world; it was a
notice to the world that this country
is big enough to maintain its honor
and to keep out of war, and at the
same time big enough to regulate its
domestic conditions.
The speech was no apology, no
defense, no complaint. It was a
speech that all men and women
should read to learn what the
country has really been doing.

FOR THE BALL FANS

A man on third; two batters out;
Two runs would win the game.
If he could make a home run clout,
Deathless would be his fame
He hitched his grimy trousers up,
And spat upon his hands;
He pulled his cap, athwart his eyes
And faced the bowling stands.
Three balls" The fans yelled with
delight
1.-TWO strikes!" the umpire said.
He knocked the next ball out of sight
And then fell out of bed.

the paraphernalia transferred to the

sentative in the First Congressional
District of Kansas-the first woman
to be nominated for Congress by a
major party.

First expression Of the Democratic
answer to the eight hour day critics
was given by former Governor Cox at
Nelsonville. Mr.. Cox praised the
stand of President Wilson in the ac-
tion which had averted a nation wide
strike, and touched plainly on what
he described as the attempt of the in
terests to deceive the toilers.

had been awarded a verdict for dam
ages of $249.0l. Attorney a. f.
Schwenk for the defendant and Har-
RE b. Chase for the plaintiff.
The arguments were completed We'd
nesday afternoon in the case of Wilson
Brothers, garage proprietors, against
Frank A. Larrow, a suit in which the
plaintiff was awarded damages OF
$249.01.
The rest of the afternoon session
was taken up with arguments in the
case of Thomas Betterley against the
Twin State Gas & Electric Co. This
was an action of tort to recover for
personal injuries alleged to have been
received by the plaintiff when thrown
from his sleigh at the corner Of Oak
and High streets, exactly year to the
hour before the arguments in the case
before the supreme court were begun.
The jury in county court awarded dam
ages of $962.50 and the case was taken
up on exceptions by both parties. F. f.
Barber appeared for the plaintiff and
Harold f. Whitney and C. C. Fits ap.
peared for the defendant company.
The defendant company took eXcep-
tiohs to the failure of the judge to
direct verdict for contributory neg
ligence and the plaintiff excepted on
the ground of insufficient damages.
The case of Manley Brothers, ga
rage proprietors, against the Boston
& Maine railroad and the Crystal
Springs Ice Co., appellant, trover ac-
tion to recover for six automobile ra-
diators which the plaintiff claims were
not delivered, was submitted on
briefs. A. V. d. Piper for the plain
tiff, E. w. Gibson for the Boston &
Maine road and II. G. Barber for the
ice company.
This was taken up Oh the ground that
both or neither of the defendants
should have been found guilty and on
the question whether an action of
trover was the proper action to be taken
in the case.
The case of Leslie f. Stratton of
Williamsville against Holden & Mar
tin of Brattleboro over lumber deal
in which the county court gave judg-
ment for the plaintiff in the sum of
$746.13 was argued yesterday morning.

the plaintiff and A. p. Carpenter and
H. G.. & +. L. Barber for the defend
ant company.
The arguments in the case of Dana
II. Gilman, administrator against the
Hoosac Tunnel & Wilmington railroad.

railroad. who was killed by a fall of
rock. verdict against the company

by a jury in the county court. Chase

EYESIGHT Is NOT IMPAIRED.
Merrill Haskell Of Brattleboro Injured
In Chemical Laboratory Brought
Here from Norwich University.

Merrill C. Haskell, freshman at
Norwich university and a son of Mr..
and Mrs William f. Haskell of Brat
tleboro, was brought home Wednesday
afternoon with his eyelids and the up
per part of his face badly burned as
the result of an accident in the chem
ical laboratory at the university.
Dr. George r. Anderson aud Mr.. Has
kell took him to Springfield, Mass, on
the late train that evening for examina-
ton by DR.. Ralph Carlton, an eve spe-
cialist. DR.. Carlton gave the assurance
that the eyesight was not and would
not be impaired. 1t was feared at first
that the results might permanently af-
feet the sight.
The young man was engaged in
an experiment in which he had q red
hot beaker containing a molten sub.
stance when the beaker slipped from
its holder to the floor and burst, throw.
ing the contents upward. He had time
to close his eyes with the result that tine
eyelids and the upper part of his face
were spattered with the molten sub

THIRTY YEARS A TAILOR.
Walter H. Haigh Has Been in One 10.
cation on Elliot Street Changed
Conditions in That Time.

Walter II. Haigh, the well-knowr
tailor, began tailoring 30 years ago yes
terday, in the same location where he
has been ever since, the building on Ell
hot street which is occupied upstairs
as a tenement by Mr.. and Mrs. II. w
Sargent. The downstairs rooms were
a tenement previous to that time, but
some of the partitions were removed
to accommodate Mr.. Haigh. When he
began business there was but little
activity in the mercantile line on Ell
liot street and much less on other
streets than at present.
By the end of the first year Mr.
Haigh had worked up a good business
and he has had good patronage ever
since. Last fall found tailoring business
poor because an unusually large mum
Der of persons were out of employment
but conditions are better now and still
further Improvement is expected.
There has not been the demand fo1
tailor-made clothing that would have
been the case were it not for certain
conditions. Formerly cutaway and
Prince Albert coats were used extern
sively for "dress-up' occasions, and
extra suits were the rule, but business
suits nowadays are worn to church, tC
the theater, to banquets and to various
other functions which formerly de
manded a change. This is offset to q
certain extent by more eXacting de-
mands as to fit, and the tailor of today
gives more attention to that detail than
he did 80 years ago.

FALL RIVER FIRE SWEPT.
Score of Buildings Burned, Including
Hotel and Several Big Stores Loss
Estimated at 100000.

Fire in the business district of Fail
River, Mass, early Wedne sGay burned
a score of buildings, including a hotel
and several of the city's largest mer-
camille establishments, causing loss
of $2,000,000, according to estimates
of property owners a few hours after
the flames had been extinguished.
This was the most disastrous fire in
the city's history. There was no loss
of life, although there were many mar
row escapes.
After nearly three hours fighting
the firemen with the assistance of out
of-town departments checked the
flames on the edge of the wooden ten
ement district, which for time had
been seriously menaced.
Occupants of houses in this section
fed through the snow-covered streets
in scanty attire as the flames APP
preached and were cared for in
churches and private homes until they
were able TO return to their own
dwellings.
The flames originated in basement
of a four-story brick building at the
corner of South Main and Spring
streets, occupied as department store
by the Steiger company, and one OF
the first buildings to which the fire
spread was the Lenox hotel, across thu
street.
The heaviest individual loss wal
suffered by Steiger company Member
Of the firm estimated it at 100000.
