CONFIDENCE IN HUGHES,

There are numerous reasons why some of the prominent independents throughout the country are confident that Charles E. Hughes will win the election in November. There are the acts of the administration which Mr Wilson has headed during the past three and a half years which weigh heavily against the success of the president and there is the record of Charles F. Hughes in matters con- corning legislation backed up by his present stand upon the issues of the campaign and the policies of the re- publican party which swings the bal ance strongly in his favor.
 One of the strong independent po- Htical leaders in Pennsylvania, Lewis Emery, Jr., candidate for governor on the fusion ticket some years ago. is strongly in favor of MT. Hughes eiec- tion and he finds sentiment running that same way. He says: Not only those of the same political faith as MT. Hughes will vote for him but many who have heretofore been ar dent admirers of President Wilson will no longef support him because of his lack of convictions and his chang ing opinions upon vital questions that confront the nation. The inefficiency of the nations chief executive and a supine congress has never been equal ed. Repeated requests and even de- mands have been made of the demo- cratic congress for the revision of the Underwood tariff schedule, but every request has been rejected. Upon this issue alone in this section of the state the progressive tariff democrats who supported MT. Wilson in the last campaign will give their support to Charles F Hughes"
 Every day there are similar reports which show that the thoughtful voters are firmly entrenched behind the re- publican nominee.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Knocking One Way of Boostinq.

MT. Editor: the real boos- ters of any town are the "knockers", especially when their complaints show on their faces that they are well founded.
 The bone-headed management of our trolley lines, with unclean cars, poor connections and so many green men in service that we are having more accidents than ever-three in one day ast@week-makes old travellers yearn for the days of Bigelow, Adams and Shaw.
 Our overloaded and inefficient gas and electric system giving poor ser vice and large profits. is a patience tester for the women and a profanity exctter among men. The politicians may figure on large profits, but the only thing that will delight the peo- pie and make the commissioners pop ular is good gas. and electricity up to the standard of efficiency.
 As to MT. J. H. Cummings definition of an American it is a misconception because life seems to generally mis- understood by him. His exhibits in life have too oftsn been of the un- conmendable order.
 The knockers should continue to hit hard. Slackness and lack of capability never boom a city.
 Yours for better things

OTFER VIEW POINTS

-- "No, he doesn't own a home, he owns aH automobile" This spoken and unSpoken observation is so fre quent that it is no wonder the motor car has begun to be regarded as a rival of the real estate business. Un- doubtedly the automobile is a full fedged and successful rival of the summer outing property. the shore tent, the forest shanty and even the summer cottage. But though a permanent roof-tree is too often re- signed in it's favor. it can never serve in place of a home.-Torringto Reg iSter

Organized charity as conducted in New Britain is a success. It is a success because the men and women interested in the work are wrapped heart and soul in the enterprise and do not depend solely on what they can get out of 1t. The mere fact that the streets of New Britain are practically free from beggars and other mendi- cants may be attributed indirectly to the charity organization. Having freed the city from this source of an- noyance it deserves the support of all honest men and women.-New Britain Herald.

I've been running up against the languor- ous and wonderful creatures who sell winter suits in the shops. And while the experience may have been good for me, I'm not crazy about it!

Her eyebrows said that while a suit under $50 was practically an impossfbiNty, not being demanded by our best peo- pie this year, still, having to work for her living because father was unfor- tupate and could not support her in the style to which she was accustom- ed, she would see what she could rout out.
 She stopped to converse a while with the gentlemanly manager and leisurely rearranged her hair before returning with two suits across her arm. Between exchanges of remarks with the blond saleswoman near by about her new hairdresser, she spread out the suits before me and then sud denly remembered my existence and glanced at me.

BILL,

iiS 1CNlSNtli5tld III O-OS II9HLE
 MT. Editor:-In the light of the work of U-53 it looks as if Washing ton had made a wrong ruling in the case of the Deutschland as a mer- chant ship. While the entente claimed she was a naval auxiliary.
 It looks now as though the most important part of her return cargo was the charts and knowledge of the lanes of commerce in this country, and that her mental cargo as well as her material was for the promotion of the manufacture of munitions of war on the U-boat undersea campaign in American waters.
 The Deutschland connected up with every Dutch propaganCist and spy in this country and doubtless brought directions to the leaders for future ac- tion as well as compliments for past criminal achievements; and as an arm of the German navy was an important factor for the new campaign of the U-undersea boats upon this side of the Atlantic.
 What we need in Washington is true Americanism and something like the oldentime statesrranship, not a schoolmaster and a laundering crew to steer the ship of state.

Wednesday to learn that Ansel Kelsey,
a lifelong resident of Salisbury, had
committed suicide at the home of his
daughter, Mrs, Kirk j. Piper, by shoot
ing himself in the head with a shotgun.
He had not been IN good health for a
long time, and dependency is the only
cause which can be suggested.
Mr.. Kelsey was seen shortly before
noon going toward the Piper home and
as he passed the farm of Albert Fisher
on the Creek road Mr.. Fisher noticed
that Mr.. Kelsey's overcoat was lying
on the seat of the sleigh 1t is be-
lieved that he used the coat to conceal
the gun.
As was his custom he called at the
home of his daughter and went to the
barn to stable his horse. Shortly after
Mr.. Kelsey went to the barn Mr.. Piper
heard gunshot but thought that a
neighbor was shooting crows. Going to
the door, Mr.. Piper noticed his father
