An Amazing Statement.
{ burlington Free Press. J


Never before in the history of this
country has president of the United
States, on the eve of an election, re
sorted to such a cheap and contemp-
tible insinuation of corruption on the
part of great political party as is
contained in the closing paragraph of
the message wired by Woodrow Will
son last night to the Democratic state
and county chairmen through the coun-
try. This paragraph reads as follows:
. am confident that the time has
passed III America when votes can be
bought, the ballot box defiled bv cor
rupt practices or the Judgment of
the American people influenced in any
way by the use of money. 1t is how
ever our duty to take every precau-
ton lest constituencies agents of the
sinister forces working in opposition
to progressive principles of popular
government resort in their desperation
to industrial coercion or to the evil
and insidious practices of a decade and
more ago.
It reads like the whine Of a discour
aged candidate, conscious of his i'm
p0huihS ae1cdt, anu ANXIOUS TO assign
cause for it that will relieve him and
his acts of their full share Of the re-
sponsibility. 1t is an insult to the
voters of the country, to the work
lngmen as well as their employers, and
it is so utterly uncalled for and so alb
solutely without provocation that it
cannot but react against the man who
uttered it. The dignity of the high

Senatorial Sequence.
burlington Free Press

Some Of the Vermont newspapers ap-
parently are acting on the superstition
that the late United States senatorial
fight is not ended but has simply been
postponed. We imagine that the next
United States senatorial contest in Yer
mont viii mean an entire realignment
with a lot of young mel of great prom
Use to the front, and that the present
sandbagging Of this man and that as
a possible aspirant later on will be
found not at all to the point but pos
sibly boomerang. However, the way
to keep q candidate alive is to keep
pounding him. p. 7. Barnum, who is
admitted to have been the prince of adj
vertisers, said: Il do not care what
the newspapers say, if they only keep
talking about me.

MORE PAVING
FORSOUTHWEST
PART Of CITY
BIG PAVING RESOLUTION PASSED
LAST NIGHT THAT WILL EX-
TEND BIxBY AVENUE BEYOND
VALUABLE PROPERTY.

At the meeting of the city council
last night a resolution was presented
by property owners on Bixby avenue,
southwest, asking that the street be
paved from the west line of the Ring
ling railroad to the east line of X
street, southwest. All this property
is owned by three persons: r. A. Fox,
Charles Won Weise, and 3. A. Simp-
son, and, as all three were signers
of the petition, there will be no hitch
in getting the street paved, as asked.
Mr.. Simpson is the heaviest owner
in this section, having purchased the
holdings of the Lawyers Realty com
pany some time ago, and 1t is re-
ported that as soon as the street is
paved and the sidewalks laid the lots
will be placed on the market. This
is one of the very desirable locations
in the city at present, and will no
doubt build up rapidly when the con-
templated improvements are made.

PICNIC IS NOT
STRICTLY WHAT.
|TPRETENDS
PICNIC AT WHlTTlNGTON PARK
NEXT WEEK FROM PUBLISHED
PROGRAM SEEMS TO BE GATH
ERING OF SOCIALISTS.

1t has developed that the great far
mers picnic advertised for Whiting
ton park next week is nothing more
or less than a gathering promoted by
| the socialist party of this city and
county, and the advertisement of the
affair as appearing in the last issue
of the socialist organ in this city
contained part of the program which
contained several well known social
ist spellbinders who will address
the people on their pet hallucination
1t was the intention of the candi-
dates for county offices when the af-
fair was first promulgated to be pres
ent and contribute toward the festi-
vities of the occasion, also they were
willing to bear their part of the ex-
pense, but since the affair is gotten
up for the seeming purpose of giving
the kumrids a chance to unload lot
of hot air. the candidates, to a man,
have declined the kind invitation and
it is within the bounds of possibility
that the only Farmers? who will be
present on this festive occasion will
be those of the red card persuasion

ROAD WORKING
PGSTPONEDFOR
THE PRESENT 7
THE CONTINUED DRY WEATHER
MAKES WORK AT THIS TIME
USELESS - LATER DATE WILL
BE ANNOUNCED.

On account of the continued dry
weather, work on the roads of the
county, which was to have been per
formed on July 20 and 81 has been
done by order Of the Board of County
Commissioners, and all road overseers
have been notified to this effect.
1t is regrettable upon the part of
the business men of the city that such
steps were necessary, but owing to
the nature of the soil on and along
the highways at present any work
done would be absolutely lost, and
until this section is visited by good
rain the date for doing the work can
not be set. The Chamber of Com
merce will announce the date later,
and the same arrangements will pre-
vail as set forth by the county COM
missioners several days ago. The
same road overseers will be maintain
ed and they will be notified the days
the work is to begin in ample time to
warn the entire communities in which
they live.
The roads throughout the county
are very dusty and rough at present,
and in most instances sadly in need
of repair.

Mr. Turner, the partner to Mr.. A.

Plumbing Co., the contractors who
put down the main street paving is
adjustment of the repair work on the
paving here and avoid suit on the
maintenance bond. The city officials
have had this question up for some
time and it is to be hoped that they
will make some form of adjustment
that will enable people to pass over
the main streets at least.
The question of getting the streets
of the city repaired has been the
bone of contention between the city
and the contractors for several years
there seems to have been some CON

J. S. Downard has been furnishing
material to the city for some recent
repairs which the city has begun and

ference with the city officials today
