at was an admirable speech, and
l wish to call attention to the fol-
lowing points," said Colonel Roose-
welt, in a statement issued after
hearing Hughes acceptance speech.
81 am particularly pleased with the
exposure of folly and worse than fol-
ly of Mr. Wilson's Mexican policy aud
of the way in which his policy has
brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster to Mexico itself
Moreover, | am glad of the straigh-
forward manner in which Mr.. Hughes
has shown the ridicule which Mr.. Will
son has covered this nation by the
manner in which he allowed foreign
powers to gain the impression that,
although he used the strongest words
in diplomacy, they were not to be
taken seriously. "Mr. Hughes also
speaks in Enthusiastically straight
forward fashion of the outrages COM
mitted on munitions plants and all
men, whether citizens of foreign ma
tons or nominal citizens of our land.
who had in any shape or way abetted
or condoned these actions, can under
stand that Mr. Hughes, if president,
will protect these domestic ammuni-
ton interests and punish offenders
against them with the fearless and
that he showed in deal
ing with the powers of evil at AL

The Prohibition Party A Years Old.
There are times when parties Of
protest are essential. The old or
carnations may be so completely
dominated by special interests, so
unresponsive to public opinion that
only new party can make a dent in
them. But if the protest party fails
to establish itself in a campaign or
two as a real contender, then the
American people are apt to desert it
on the theory that its usefulness is
ended. The Prohibition party came
into existence in 1872 and held its
first convention in Columbus, o. It's
presidential candidate, James Black
Of Pennsylvania, received only $500
votes. No encouragement came to
the party until 1884, when the revolt
against Blaine helped give st. John
of Kansas 10000. This was increas-
ed to 100000 for Fiske in 1888. The
party almost went to pieces in the
free silver campaign, but reached
high water mark under Swallow in
1904, with $4,000 votes. Eight years
ago the vote was $4,000 and in 1912
it was 208,00O.
The party probably defeated Blaine
in 1884, for the $4,000 votes it re-
ceived in New York state that year
would have given him the election
Otherwise its effect has been negli-
gible, except in so far as it may have
been educational. The people evil
IDENTIFY expect to deal with the liquor
question through some agency other
than the Prohibition party.

Cool breezes from the mountain-range
Across pleasant valley blow,
Bright shines the town and grange
And so it's passing strange l know,
That who love perfect day
Should find my love had gone astray
And that my heart far away
With One in distant Mexico.
OH mountain breeze, cool and sweet,
That comes to from banks of snow;
Oh! Payette river at my feet
That faithfully doth flow
l cannot love you much today,
My heart hath truly gone astray,
'Tis with boy far away,
A soldier boy in Mexico.
To you. most loyal friends of mine,
To whom a debt | really owe
Do not, beg of you, repine
Because love | can bestow;
For truly all my heart today
Hath mutinied and gone astray
To him, my soldier, far away

"Where Are My Children"

"Where Are My Children?"-that
daring photo play which has been
crowding the Majestic Theatre, Bos-
ton, all summer three times daily
will be seen at Opera House, Island
Pond, one day, Thursday, Nov. 23d,
three shows daily, 300 pm, 700
and 8:45 pm.
The fact that there are three per-
formances a day will be much ap-
preciated as people intending to at
tend the second performance of the
afternoon or evening may come in
time for that performance and thus
avoid waiting in the lobby or on the
sidewalk.
The play has made a great impress
sion on all who have seen it,and edu-
Gators, ministers, physicians and
others are loud in their praises of
the film which teaches such a whole
some lesson in such an interesting
manner. Although the topic illus
trated is generally considered fit for
discussion in private, there can be
no objection to the way that the
truths of Where Are My Children|
are placed before an audience. And
these truths are especially interest
ing at this time when the newspapers
and the courts are dealing with
cases in real l:fe such as are shown
on the screen,
The acting in "Where Are My
Children" is far better than in the
majority of screen plays. With such
a sterling actor as Tyrone Power in
the role of the district attorney, and
ably supported, a dramatic treat is
assured. The three performances
are given at 800 pm, 700 and 8:45
pm.
That these audiences are made up
so largely Of members of the gentler
sex is not surprising, as where Are
My Children" deals with two prob
lens of vital interest to women
women of every walk in life. The
minor problem of birth control is in.
troduced as contrasting figure OF
especial interest just now through
court proceedings, and the mass
meetings on the subject which are
, being addressed by many we'll known
speakers.
But the main theme of the play il
the premeditated destruction Of the
unborn by malpractice, and shows
how fashionable women avoid the
cares of maternity in order not tC
be deprived of the pleasures of theil
particular social world. The theme
is admittedly a delicate one but it i
handled with delicacy and shoulc
not cause offence; and the lessor
taught is strictly moral, and judging
!, from certain items in the news O.

men are organized in a tournament,
playing for the trophy which has
been contested for each year since
1905. From early spring to late fail
the fine tennis court is prominent
feature of the association life and a
great many games are played on it
while number of tournaments are
played off. Hiking and hunting
trips have been pleasant features.
The educational side of the associ-
alton has included a number of sue
cessful lecture courses, several series
of practical talks on tn" Air Brake"
Safety First" "Safe Handling of
Explosives" and other subjects of
especial interest to railroad men.
In the lecture room is held each
week an apprentice school, with an
instructor from Portland to teach
the class.
The R. R. Y. M. C. A. is doing a
great work for railroad employees.
1t puts them in better condition
physically and mentally to meet
their trying duties. 1t makes a
home for them with conveniences,
comforts and cordial welcome that
they look forward to at the end Of
their run.
The association not only does its
work for the members but it is do
ing good deal of extension work in
the community. 1t is cooperating
with the churches, schools and fra
ternities of the town in many activi-
ties.
Thus it is that the association is
serving the men Of the town and the
railroad but is also helping even to
the very close of life for in one cor
ner of the building is the emergency
hospital fitted up for caring for the
men who have been injured about
the yards, on the trains, or in the
wrecks which sometimes occur. And
from this room several Of the men
have gone out to the Great Beyond
So in many ways the association is
truly "A house by the side of the
road"
The r. R. Y. M. G. A. at Island
Pond is the only one in Vermont
1t is a very active associatlon-one
of the live wires in the work for a
bigger and better individual and in

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

Some think those lines of KipIing,
"For east is east and west is west
never the twain shall meet" is APP
plicable to the alignments of the east
and west in the presidential vote of
1916. We do not believe that Sec
tional feeling was an issue in this
vote. There are many other issues
which we believe contributed to
Hughes defeat. In the first place
President Wilson had two important
issues driven home and clinched.
"He has kept US out of war, was
popular and firmly implanted in the
minds of the people in general, and
his forcing the passage of the eight
hour law secured the practically un-
divided vote of all members of the
labor unions. President Wilson in
putting through the eight-hour law
made master stroke of shrewdness,
diplomacy and resourcefulness. If
he could only follow out the same
zeal and ability in handling inter-
national questions American diplo-
macy of today would act be the
laughing stock Of the world powers.
Mr.. Hughes had to overcome a
strong current of resentment on the
part of many progressives, who be-
lieved he should have accepted the
nomination for president four years
ago, when there was such an urgent
call made for him. Then, too, there
was more or less a belief, which
swayed many voters, that if Mr..
Hughes was elected we would be
plunged into war. These, we believe
are the real issues that won Presi-
dent Wilson the election. None of
these, however, touch the vital ques-
lions at issue before our government
today, but they were popular and
sympathetic and touched the senti'
ment in many home, changing the
previous alignment of thousands OF
voters. The east is east, west is
west, north is north and south is
south but they should all be drawn
together in a singleness of purpose
in carrying out that freedom and
unity which stands for this great re.
public, and typifes true American
ism.

We publish a letter in this issue
from former resident who writes
concerning the proposed change OF
the name Island Pond to Brighton
village. The writer is opposed to
the change, and thinks Island Pond
twas good enough to live UNDER"
etc. The change is not one of senti-
ment, if we based it on that there
would be no change, but purely
business proposition. The change
of the name would not "entail i'm
mense labor" nor would the gov
eminent be put to any serious incon-
venience. Other changes have been
made of a similar nature, and the
change can be made here if the citi-
zens so wish. Any person not drawn
by sentiment, but having an unbiased
opinion, will readily admit that
Island Pond is not a proper name
for this place. 1t does not convey
to the outside world a proper con-
ception of the business interests and
beauty of the place. The writer
says Handsome is that handsome
does" Yes, but we sooner appre-
ciate and have more firmly fixed
that action, if the descriptive prop
erly conveys its handsome qualities.
The HERALD has received communi
cations from former residents sta
ting they hoped the change would
be made. The columns of the HER
AID are open for a discussion of
this question and we will gladly pub
lish communications, pro and con, on
this, to US, important question Of
our village name.
