The people Of Bennington deeply ap.
preciate the generosity OF Nr. Putnam
and expect in the near future to erect
a hospital that will serve as one of
the most important working tools of a
modern community At the same time
The Banner feels that some improved
arrangement should be made so that
the village would not be called uYon to
vote money to mako additions to the
water system At the village meeting
ii was voted to appropriate $1,000 in
order to extend the water system pipes
To nov users. The reason for this is
that under the deed Of gift only $500
per year is allowed for extensions and
this is not enough for growing town
in years when the town is reasonably
prosperous AS bennington gets
larger the disparity between the fixed
appropriation and the need will be
greater, and it can be met only by
special appropriations by the village.
When the erection Of the scale works
was in progress one Of the problems
was to get the water mains to the site
without spending more money than the
water commissioners mad available.
Even though its income is to 90 for a
most commendable purpose it would
seem as though the water system

We hope some Of the enterprisng
communities Of Vcrmont-Barre and
Bennington, Tor instance--will note
that tho pOstofiice business Of this bal.
liwick has passed that Of Rutland, and
ranks second only to Burlington among
Vermont towns and cities -Brattle
toro Reformer.
Bennington gladly congratulates
Brattleboro on its increase in post
office business. Brattleboro is Ben.
ningtons nearest neigbbor among the
larger towns Of Vermont and we are
always glad to see our neighbors
prosper. Al the same time we do not
feel that Bennington, Rutland and
Barre are falling behind The truth
is that brattleboro firms and Offices do
big mail business and increase the
pcstotice receipts through buying
stamps From Bennington. Rutland.
Barre ana others a larger proportion
OF the business is done by freight or
| express TO make reasonably fair
comparison all three ways OF outlet
should be taken into consideration.
II this comparison were made our
guess would be that Barre would lead
in bulk, Rutland in value, Brattleboro
in claims and Bennington in quality.

How the Tariff Hurts.


Washington is essentially a protec-
ZIONIST state and has suffered actual
loss by the democratic tariff, which
has not been Offset, as in some other
commonwealths. by temporary war
prosperity. The state has shared very
little in the industrial prosperity en-
gendered in this country by the war.
1t has, however. seen millions of dol
lars worth of British Columbia shin
giles and lumber, cut from raw ma
terial which was 20 per cent cheaper
than theirs and manufactured by coolie
and Hindu cheap labor. pass the very
mills of its lumbermen to compete in
American markets under the reduced
tariff. 1t has seen New Zealand but
ter, Argentine beef and eggs from
China sold in Seattle markets lower
than home-raised products, being ad-
mitted free of duty. The lumber trade
is in straits and the workingmen
charge it to the democratic tariff.
Mr. Hughes, in his speech here. said
to his audience that he didn't have
to talk tariff. as every man in the
crowd knew the subject thoroughly
from practical everyday business ex-
perience- The audience assented
Progressives are in the main pro-
tectionists in Washington and many a
lumberman who is a democrat from
principle looks ruefully at the prac-
teal operations of the tariff of his
party.

BULL MOOSE RETURNING
TO RANKS OF OLD PARTY
Hard Fight for United States SEN
atorship, With Democrats
Hopeful of Winning.
By N. o. MESSENGER.

SEATTLE, Wash, August y
|-Washington's electoral vote
will go to Hughes, according &C
all current indications, and by a
substantial majority. The gov
ernorship will be close, with
democratic, republican and pro-
gressive tickets in the field.
The outcome of the contest for the
United States senatorship is at pres
ent obscured by the dust raised in the
scramble for the republican nomina-
ton. and forecasts are unsafe until
after the primaries of September -.
Hughes will carry the state for the
presidency through the return to the
party of more than a majority of the
progressives who bolted in 1912, and on
the issue of the protective tariff The
republicans count upon the presidential
vote to pull the state ticket through
as well.

Real Struggle in Prospect.

The political situation in this state
is one of the most interesting west of
Indiana, and furnishes the greatest
material for a real, live struggle be-
tween the two old parties. The various
elements entering into it serve to in
spire the democrats with hope and
animate them with vigor to make an
earnest campaign.
They Will have the aid of some very
prominent former progressives who
have come out for President Wilson
men who were republicans before they
became progressives. The republicans
ADMIT the prominence of these men,
but minimize the extent of their fol-
lowing
Washington. for years a republican
stronghold, followed Roosevelt in 1912.
President Wilson polled S6,S4O votes in
the state, Taft 70.445 and Roosevelt
1858 Thus the combined Taft and
Roosevelt vote was 81 ,303 in excess of
the democratic vote.
The progressives began to return to
the republican party in the senatorial
election Of 1914. In that year, Senator
wesley L Jones received I3O,479. as
the republican candidate, against g.. .2S2
Tor Ole Hanson, progressive, and d.
I33 for Black, democrat. This Mr..
Hanson has now declared for President
Wilson. although he is not running for
office, and it Is not claimed that he can
bring all of his former supporters into
the democratic camp
Evening star., 1916-08-17
Case Of Personal Popularity.


His was a case of popularity very
similar to that of Col. Roosevelts. He
is a unique character of a man and
draws to his own hand. and not to that
OF party. The progressives will have
a candidate for senator in Walter J.
Thompson. who will hold the nucleus
of a progressive organization IL possi-
BILE, but is not expected to do more
than that The other progressives will
come back to the old party or vote
for Wilson.
In addition to Mr. Hanson. some
twenty-five other former well known
progressives have declared for Presi-
dent Wilson.
Notwithstanding this detection, which
looms large in the public eye but is
claimed not to have support in votes
relative to the prominence of the indi-
viduals, the republicans are confident
of their ground in claiming the state
for Hughes.
