est edition of the horse ever put out
is the Shetland pony, after which
comes the Texas broncho. The broa-
cho is Il disagreeabIc animal to do
business with, and inexperienced PEG
pie who mount him for the first time
are usually obliged to be scwed up in
several different localities soon after

popular style, but intellectually he is n
great disappointment. Nobody ever
saw a fuzzy-haired Percher0n who had
brains enough to make his feet track

known TO strike anybody except in
self-dcfense
The horse comes into the world as a
colt, and consists mainly of legs. 1t
is almost as much trouble to raise a
colt to mature years as it is to rear Il
set Of twins, but the colt does not
keep anybody up nights when his
teeth begin to bud. Some horses live
to ripe old age, but when offered in
trade are always five years old last
February. If the horse could disguise
his age, rs we'll as a woman he would

would be fewer buyers bitten at an

Leading Vermont
Editor
Worthless AS Indicating Any
Degree of Public
Sentiment

The Bennington Evening Banner published and
edited by former Lieutenant Governor Frank f.
Howe in its issue of July 18th analyses the straw vote
taken by the Lyndonve Union Journal in the interest
of Senator Page.
The Banner characterzes the effort as conducted
by the Lyndonville paper, "A Sham Ballot, and
charges that it not genuine undertaking, mot
a bona fdc attempt to sound public opinion 'sbut
rather that it plant meaning that the result
was determined before the canvass made) to in
fluence the public mind in the interest of Senator
Page upon false and faxed premise
And the Banner concludes its causlic analysis
of this method of straw vote taking by chasing it with
the burlesque, which is stage upon which senators
are seldom seen in daylight
1t is we'll worth the time of every reader to pc
carefully what the Banner has said on this al
legged straw vote. 1t is here given in FULL

President James III. Hustis of the

once thought to be a competitor of
the steam railroads, and it does good
service for short distances in thicklv

fault somewhere, but not a single

editor III a small town and
we do not believe that he
spent or could afford to spend
upwards OF $500 on any en-
terprise of the sort. Mr.
Chase is an independent voter
of Democratic leanings, but
4 personal friend and adj
mirer OF Senator Page. He
had perfect right to do
the senator a favor by poll
ing his alleged straw vote
for him and to let the
senator pay the cost, but it is
not to be taken seriously.
Anyone has the right to form
an opinion from the evil
dence at hand.
We do not claim to have
any proof i'll the matter, but
the case does not seem to be
very obscure. 1t is mani
testify not important just how
the list was made out so
long as it was sent mainly to
partsans on the Page mailing
list. A ten-lninute canvass in
anv town in Vermont will
prove the utter humbug Of
the affair.
The real point is that the
so-called straw vote was
known to be of no value
even before the result was
partially announced. To at
tempt now to make it the
basis of an argument to the
citizens of Vermont is like at
tempting to buy real goods
with imitation money.
The Republican voters. of
Vermont on Sept. II are to
decide by direct vote whether
they want Senator Page for
their candidate again or
whether they prefer another
Senator Page has been eight
years in the United States
senate. What the voters want
to know is whether his work

Senator Pages first in
stallment OF political adver-
Using has appeared and it is
a pitiful bit of false reason
ing based on manifest hum
bug. Senator Page has a
great deal Of strength, bust
ness sagacity, and is a man
of many fine qualities. 1t
seems to the Banner a terri
Bile thing for him to start
campaign for the high office
OF United States Senator on
subterfuge. Are the voters
OF Vermont children to be
fooled by a fairy story:
In the first place the Lyn-
donville Union-Journ didn't
take a straw vote Of Vermont
Republicans on the S en-
atorial issue. There wasn't
a genuine poll taken and the
actual results of even the
fake poll have not been print
ed.
\ genuine poll would have
included the names of at
least three other men in
addition to Page and Fletch-
er and a correct statement
of the result would have told
the number of ballots sent
out and the number who did
not reply or who answered
in opposition to both the men
suggested.
Further than this we do
not believe that the alleged
straw vote was a bona hde
attempt OF the Lyndonville
Union Journal to sound pub
lie opinion. This is purely
a guess on the part OF the
Banner, but the whole af-
fair indicates that it was a
plant" by Senator Page or
some worker in his behalf and
carefully planned to show a
preponderance of sentiment
in his favor.
The straw vote of the kind
taken would cost not less
than $500 as stamped re-
turn envelopes were sent for
replies. John B. Chase, ed

S-HOUR LAW HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Measure Will Be Rushed to the Su- preme Court of the United States As Quickly As Possible-This
 Is Test Case.

Kansas City, Nov 22.-The Adam on eight hour law, passed at the last session of congress, this morning was held to be unconstitutional here hy Judge William o. Hook. of the United States District court.
 The judge directed that the re- ceivers for the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway, who brought the original action i'll this case, to as sist the government in expediting the case to the supreme court of the United States for final decision, and instructed them to invite the representative of every railroad in the country to participate in the proceedings before the highest court in the land.
 It is expected here that the ulti- mate decision on the question: Ot whether or not the law will be ef- fective January 1, will be given be- lore that tune.
 The transcript in the present case will be filed with the Supreme court before it reconvenes Decem- Der 1.
 While declaring it far from agreeable for a judge to render a decision which he would stand to in every circumstance" Judge Hook, in order to expedite the case, entered a decree for the plaintiff railroad.
 The attorneys for either side would not comment on the decision. It was the governments motion filed yesterday which precipitated today's action.
 The sole question raised is re- garding the constitutionality of the law.

QUARANTINE OF
 CATTLE ORDERED
Chicago Bars Livestock From Mis- SOuri, kansas and Nebraska Because of Suspected Case of Foot and
 Mouth Disease-k. C. Acts Also.

Chicago, Nov. 27-Quarantine or ders, barring all live stock from Mis- souri. Kansas and Nebraska markets from Chicago, were issued here to- day by A. G. Leonard, president of the Union Stock yards and Transit company.
 The orders were precautionary measures and were issued when a case of foot and mouth disease in the Kansas City Stock yards was re- ported.
 Dr. $. k. Bennett, expert, is or his way to Kansas City to make a test and determine the exact nature of the disease reported. One third of the livestock of the Chicago yards is cut off by this order. Trainloads of cattle from all points in the quarantined states are being held, pending investigation.
 A year ago an outbreak of the hoof and mouth disease cost middle west ern farmers and stock grawers mill lions of dollars.
