If Tie coutfts you. Pun Il on"

Something over FIVE months ago -
Sept. 10, 1915, to be exaet-the Yer
mont public service commission issued
an order based upon an investigation
into conditions on the local trolley road.
The gist of this order was that the Twin
State company should discontinue the
use of closed cars No. ) and S in the
regular service and except as emer-
gency requires their use, and that in
addition to the "'new' car (Which has
since come into occasional use) the
company should place in operation
| . within a reasonable time another
new closed car in lieu of No. ) and No.
is. Whether or not the Twin State com
Ipany has disregarded this order might
/ depend on the meaning of the words
emergency and reasonable, - but
the fact remains that the antiquated
cars which local patrons tried to have
condemned are still in use and there is
no indication that the Twin State com
pany has yet bought a second "new'
ear or will buy one in time to put il
in commission before next fall

previously taken the freeman s oath
ana some who have never voted be

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Is, 1916.

A supreme court justice should be
above suspicion. Mr.. Brandeis may be
a pure minded patriot, but when a
man of the character of Moorfeld
Storey says that Brandeis is "not
scrupulous as to his methods, nor is
he to be trusted" it is time for the
august senators who are to confirm OF
reject his nomination to sit up and
take notice.

of local affairs than usual, and the
facts embodied in the report will doubt
less be of no little assistance in an
analysis of the figures that follow it. In
this connection it may be of interest
to the taxpayers of the town to know
that the liabilities this year are some
thing over $4,000 more than they were
a year ago, but when it is considered
that bonds to the amount of $4,000
were issued to pay the town s share
of the railroad station improvements
and that the land damages in connec-
ton with the Main and Flat street prop
Osition were in excess of 5000 this
increase seems to be more than &C.
counted for. The selectmen do not
recommend the amount of tax to be
voted at the coming March meeting,
but estimate that tax of 46 cents
would be sufficient for running expenses
while tax of % cents would enable
J the town to pay temporary loans to the
amount of $4,000, incurred by reason
of the land damages mentioned. The
town went through last year on the pro
ceeds from tax of Al cents.
! The Meddler already has admitted
that the arches of incandescent lamp,
across Main and Elliot streets have out
lived their usefulness and should bc
isupplanted by something in the nature
of permanent and efficient system of il
Elimination, but this fact constitutes n,
good reason why the lamps in the archie,
should not be replaced as often as they
wear out
/ 1t is gratifying to note that effort
are being made to establish a teache

corporated district AS has been state,
previously, the state pays the SALARY
of the teacher of this course, so the ex
pense to the district will be compare
lively slight. The next thing for tn,
district to do is to so arrange its schools
that it may participate to the fulles
degree i'll the financial assistance which
the state offers toward the payment O
the salary of superintendent. This can
not, of course, be done before the enc
of the present school year, but the mat
ter should be kept in mind in making
plans for the future

IN view of this situation The Med
der believes that the local men who
brought this matter before the public
service commission should take further
steps to have the commission s order
enforced. The nature of these steps
is matter for legal counsel to deter

Way-perhaps by means of mandamus
proceedings get an order of this
kind put into effect.

THE suFFaAelsTs MISTAKE

Advocates of the franchise fol-
women find themselves at liberty
to take their choice of parties
when considering the advantages
to be gained by the election OF
either Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Hughes.
The latter in direct conflict with
the platform of his party has
pledged the women his support
of woman's suffrage, while Mr..
Wilson went to New Jersey to
cast his vote in favor of it.
The mistake the suffragists
are now making is the demand
for the submission to the states
of an amendment to the federal
constitution in declaring in favor
of the franchise for women.
Neither party has committed it.
self to such a policy and all right
thinking people will readily see
that such an amendment, if SUBJ
mitted, would be defeated by the
several states.
The franchise has always been
a matter that the states had de-
termined for themselves and at
this late day the change would
be too radical to meet with pop
ular favor.
Votes for women have been
accorded by about fifteen states
under conditions set out by their
constitutions and statutes. The
requirements are the same as
those for men. These states are
mostly western. In the south

turn down a federal amendment
if it was submitted to them.
They are not going to place this
menace to their self-government
in the 'constitioni if they can avoid
it. The constitution of the south
ern states place the franchise
just where it belongs and we will
not entertain a proposition to rob
US of it.

again that he and his party may
once more obtain the reins of
government. The achievements
of the democratic party during
the three and one half years of
Mr.. Wilson'S administration have
placed the republican party at
such a disadvantage before the
country that they are unable to
meet the people and discuss the
issues of the day.
Smarting under the achieve
ments of the democrats Through
the leadership of the southerners,
they once more attempt to stir
up the bad blood OF the north
and west by telling the people in
those sections that the south is
again in the saddle.
Mr.. Hughes could not have
displayed his littleness of char
acter so web as he has done in
waving the bloody shirt. He is
willing to force the south to un-
dergo every embarrassment and
have it robbed of every prestige
in shaping the business policy Of
the country that he may crafty
his ambition to reach the presi-
dency. Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft were too great to resort to
such infamy, but the present
candidate Of the republicans has
stopped as low as any candidate
ever did to obtain his ends. The
country will not back Mr.. Hughes
in his littleness.

The usually well informed par
agraphist of the Commercial Ap-
peat shows that he is entirely
unfamiliar with the methods Of
handling convicts. Within one
hundred miles of him is the most
successful penitentiary system
in the world. On the Parchman
farm, Mississippi keeps more
than 1900 of her convicts who
are worked on the greatest cot

These convicts are under sar-
geants who direct them, but the
guards are convicts, designated
as TRUSTEES" who carry loaded
guns to keep-any of their fellow
convicts from escaping. The
trusty is held in dread by the
others and few escapes occur.
Killings are seldom reported
from the farm, yet. at any time
while at work in the fields armed
with farm implements, such as
hoes, axes and other Implements,
one convict can murder another
before he could be prevented in
doing SO. More killings occur in

Americans who are determined to
avenge themselves upon Presi-
dent Wilson for his patriotic ne
fusal to submit to Germany's
murderous submarine warfare.
The World has the highest re-
spect for Mr.. Hughes as a man
and a public servant. There is
nobody in public life for whom
We have a higher personalregard
but We can find no reason why
he should be elected President in
place Of Woodrow Wilson. We
can find innumerable reasons why
the sinister and crooked and un-
American interests that are try
ing to use him for their own fur.
poses should be overwhelmed at
the polls.
But even il the influences be-
hind Mr.. Hughes were different,
this is no time for the American u
people to make experiments in
government. This is no time to
change administrations. This
Is no time TO take needless risks.
This is the worst Of all times to
give European nations the i'm
preston that the United States
lacks political solidarity and
that it is ready to trifle with the
vital question Of peace with hon.
or.
The welfare of the American
people, at home and abroad, the
highest and best interests of the
Republic in this critical period OF
civilization, demand the re-elec-
ton OF President Wilson.
