BROTHERS DROWN WHEN ONE
ATTEMPTS RESCUE OF OTHER
Special to The Caledonian. }


Montpelier, July ga double
drowning occurred near here today
on the Dog river near West Berlin
when Richard Moody, aged 16 years,
in going to the aid of h. 13-year-
brother, Dwight, who had got be-
yond his depth, was unable to rescue
him and both boys drowned. The
drowning occurred about o'clock
Sunday afternoon and the bodies were
taken from the water about o'clock.
Richard Moody had gone to visit his
brother, Dwight, at West Berlin,
where he was visiting, and both boys
went in bathing Sunday afternoon.
Dwight, who was unable to swim, got
beyond his depth and called to his
brother, who could swim, for help.
Richard reached his brother and tried
to get him ashore, but the younger
boy struggled, pulling them both I'M
der.
Their cries attracted people nearby
who hurried to the scene, but not
quick enough to save the two boys.
The stream was muddy, due to the
recent rains, making it impossible to
locate the spot where the boys went
under.
Dwight and Richard were sons OF
Mr.. and Mrs. William II. Moody of
Mortified, and were two boys of a
family Of five boys and three girls
One brother is at the border with Co
M of Mortified.
The bodies after they were recov-
cred were taken to the undertaking
rooms at Northfild.

The passage by the Senate of the
naval appropriation bill carrying a
total of 1915. S26.S4S for three year
building program is encouraging. The
Senate insists on the immediate con-
struction of four dreadnaughts, four
great battle cruisers and So other
craft This would mean a large ad-
dition to our naval force, an increase
that is seriously needed. The only
discouraging feature of the bill is the
appropriation of $11,OOO,OOO for gov
eminent armor plate plants. This
means the government proposes to
manufacture its own plate and it will
doubtless be three years before it can
get ready to do so. If this be true
the votes for immediate construction
of ships will be of little value. We re-
peat (what we said a short time ago.
If we really need an enlarged navy it
will be in less than three years.

How different was the experience
of Gov. Gates. During an active
campaign for other aspirants for that
honor, he refused until the eve of
convention to say he would accept
the nomination if rendered to him.
But he was big enough so the people
turned to him and demanded that he
give up the work which had been Of
such tremendous benefit to the state
and become their governor. He did
not solicit a vote, did not buy vote,
did not spend his money attempting
to win an election. He was big
enough to make all these question
able practices unnecessary. We
think every well informed voter will
acknowledge that he proved himself a
bigger and better man in his govern.
orship campaign than either of his
competitors. With this open record
of superiority over his competitors,
the statements by supporters of Mr..
Page or Mr.. Fletcher that Mr.. Gates
is not large enough for the United
States senatorship seems unfair and
unworthy of any man who believes
in honorable politics and faithful,
competent service in public office.
The people of Vermont may be fooled
by such talk but we do not believe
they will.

RECENT DEATHS
JUDsON H. KITTREDGE
One of st. Johnsbury's Oldest Citizens
Is Laid at Rest.

The funeral of Judson H. Kittredge,
who passed away Saturday morning
after long illness from consumption,
was held at one o'clock Monday after
noon from the home on Harrison ave-
nue.. The funeral service was in charge
of Rev. Clarence L. Eaton, pastor of
the Church of the Messiah, and the
interment was in the family plot in
the cemetery at Lyndon Center.
Judson H Kittredge was one of the
older citizens Of st. Johnsbury and
was a resident Of the town for 80
years where for many years he work.
ed at his trade as a stone cutter. AL
though not actively engaged in work
for the past ten years he will be re-
membered by his many friends as a
fine citizen and a good neighbor. Mr..
Kittredge was born in the town of
Kirby in March 1857. He came to st.
Johnsbury about 80 years ago and 80
years ago was united in mar
riage to Nellie letters. Mr.. and Mrs.
Kittredge began keeping house imme-
diately and resided in town since the
marriage.
Those who are left to mourn his loss
are Mrs. Kittredge, a daughter, Mrs.
Herbert Woods Of st. Johnsbury, a
granddaughter, Caroline Woods, and
a brother, George Kittredge of Lyn-
don. Among those to attend the fun
eral from out of town were: Mr.. and
Mrs. G. A. Burns of West Lebanon, N.

The st. Johnsbury Republican says
it has not seen Horace Graham lately
but hopes he will be around to ac-
cept the governorship when it is
handed out to him this fall. Mr..
Graham can be seen wherever the
duties of state auditor demand his
attention. The fact that Mr.. Ora
ham can give close attention to his
duties while a candidate for the gov
ernorship shows the wisdom of cen
tering upon a man who is so favor
ably known that he does not have to
devote his whole time to promoting
his political ambitions.

The horrible massacre in San Fran
cisco by a bomb fiend leads US to re-
mind our readers of the recommends
ton we made some time ago that the
placing of a bomb should be punish
ed by capital punishment. Any man
who places a bomb for explosion has
murder in his heart. He has become
a dangerous menace to society and
should be legally executed. He GER
tainly can never benefit humanity
enough to offset the terrible destruc-
ton he has in his heart.

Pres. Wilson is very enthusiastic
over the Rural Credits bill he recent
nish cheaper money for the farmers
but it must have all the safeguards
of cheap money in order to be a sue
cess. 1t will not help the man who
has no money to begin farming with
because it will not allow a loan of
more than so per cent of the value
of the property. However, if it al
lows a farmer who can furnish the
rest of the money needed to get so

of interest it will stimulate agricul-
tural interests to a considerable ex-

Seven weeks from next Tuesday
comes the first primary election in
the state of Vermont. There is only
one real contest on for that occasion
and that is the United States senator
ship. For state officials outside of the
lieutenant governorship, there is not
a contest in sight. Several different
names have been mentioned for the
state authorship, but it does not look
now as though Ben Gates would have
any real opposition. Of course con-
tests over county officers and town
representatives may develop in any
spot. But it has been many years
since Vermonters came so close to a
virtual election with so little enthu.
siasm or interest as at present. How
ever, we expect the people have their
minds pretty we'll made up as to their
choice for the various offices.

test make 40 pounds or better, little
under three per cent As pounds or
more, about one cow in a hundred
thousand so pounds or more. This
gives one an accurate idea of the COM
parative value of the higher produc-
ing cows. 1t would be interesting TO
have the agents in other counties
give the number Of cows under test
and the number that produce 40 or
more pounds of butter fat per month.

Good Roads Appropriation.

The appropriation of $85,0OO,0 OO
by the federal government to be exc
pended with an equal amount by the
various states of the union for the
construction of rural roads is so i'm
portant that its provisions should be
generally understood. AS stated above
the federal government pays only so
per cent of the cost of the roads and
the total cost must not exceed $4,000
per mile. Federal aid will be ex-
streets and highways in towns of
$500 or more population where the
houses average less than 200 feet
distance between them. The state
must maintain the roads and keep
them in good repair after they are
built If they fail to do this the gov
eminent will refuse further aid.
The money is to be divided be-
tween the states as follows:
One-third in the ratio which the
area of each state bears to the total
area of all the states.
One-third in the ratio which the
population Of each state bears to the
total population of all the states.
One-third in the ratio which the
mileage of rural delivery routes and
star routes in each state bears to the
total mileage of rural delivery routes
and star routes.

Gates Will Get Votes.

Senator Page has something more
to worry about. Gov. G. w. Gates
has come into the field as an active
candidate for the senatorial nominal
ton. Gates is a clean, conscientious

the state, and we believe that he will
