Hughes Points the Way

The speech Of the Republican candi-
date for president was keynote
speech indeed. Not one person in the
great audience at the Carnegie hall
meeting was in doubt for one moment
as to just what he meant by every
thing he said.
His address was comprehensive, logi'
cal, clear and all sufficient for the oc.
casion. There can be no dispute as to
this. Plainly Mr. Hughes is man
who "knows what he wants when he
wants it," and it is the opinion of po-
litical authorities who heard him and
who have since read his remarks that
he knows also how to get 1t.
1t was incumbent upon the Republi-
can candidate to cOntine the scope of
his remarks to the limitations of the
occasion, but his crushing analysis of
the shortcomings of the present adj
ministration of the government is
merely an earnest Of what the tone
and the contents of his speeches will
be when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie hall Mr.. Hughes ad-
verted to every general question that
is apt to be serious issue in the cam
paign and in language that will be
absolutely clear to every man or wo-
man able to read he stated his opin-
ions, his convictions and his purposes
On the stump he will argue those
points in detail. AS an orator he is
eloquent. his personality attractive,
and his marshaling of facts so CO.
hesive that he holds his audience to
the end. He makes it easy for them
to follow him. and his points are not
lost.
There was nothing equivocal, moth
ing apologize in the Republican can
didate's speech of acceptance. He
called a spade spade, and the unani-
NOUS opinion of those who heard him
was that he shot to the center and
rang the bell. The Republican cam
paign is now open. and those who will
speak and write and work for the sue
cess of the Republican ticket can wish
for no more adequate campaign docu-
ment, no more satisfactory statement
Of issues than are found in the candi-
dates salutatory.

DUTY OF THE ADMINlSTRA-
TON TO STOP PLOTS AND
CONSPIRACiES.

We denounce all plots and
conspiracies in the interest of
any foreign nation. Utterly in
tolerable is the use Of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every Amer
lean must unreservedly con-
denim them and support every
effort for their suppression. But
here also prompt, vigorous and
adequate measures on the part
of the administration were need
ed. There should have been no
hesitation, no notion that it was
wise and polite to delay. Such
an abuse of our territory de-
manded immediate and thor
oughgoing action. As soon as
the administration had notice of
plots and conspiracies it was its
duty to stop them. 1t was not
lacking in resources. Its re-
sponsibility for their continu-
ance cannot be escaped by the
condemnation of others.-From

"There's Many a Slip"

Few, probably, know the history OF
There's many slip twixt the cup
and the lip" which is translation of
a Greek proverb. Ancaeus, an an
cient king of Samos, was fond OF
gardening, and planted some vines in
his garden. But he was told by a
prophet that he would never taste
wine from them.
Time went, and the wine being duly
made, Ancaeus was lifting cup of
it to his lips, at the same time asking
the prophet mockingly where his
prophecy was now. There's many
things between the cup and lip" re-
piled the prophet. AS he spoke a loud
tumult was heard outside, and An
caeus was told that wild boar had
broken in. Hurriedly putting the cup
down without drinking, he rushed
out to join the hunt against the boar.

capsuIes for oilino Machinery.

The operation of oiling machinery,
especially where it is desirable that
the oil should be kept from the hands
and clothing of the operator, has been
devised recently in making use of col
lapsible lead capsules, widely used for
artists colors, druggists products,
paste, etc., in the United States. The
capsules are provided with a screw
thread, which is screwed into an adapt
er, which in turn is fastened to the
part to be fabricated. The lead cap
sule and the brass adapter make. a
tight Joint, and all that is necessary is
to apply pressure from time to time,
as desired. When the grease capsule
is emptied, one merely unscrews it
and puts a new one in its place. No
refilling is necessary, and the pressure
of the fingers is usually sufficient to
force the grease into the bearing.

PLAIN QUESTIONS TO NOR

Every Morrisv,IIe Reader Will Admit
the Soundness of the Logic
Would Morrisville recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills as they do il the medicine
were not reliable? Would they confirm
their statements after years have elapsed
il their experiences did not show, the
remedy to be deserving of it? Statements
like the following must carry conviction
to the mind of every reader:
C. 81. Small, carriage painter. Ran

time 1 suffered from attacks of backache
and soreness across my loins. L felt dull

kidney trouble. / got box of Doan's

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to re-
duce the cost of living. This
they have failed to do. But they
did reduce the opportunities OF
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed in
this country under the new tariff
prior to the outbreak of the war.
Production had decreased, busi-
ness was languishing, new enter
prises were not undertaken. in
stead of expansion there was
curtailment and our streets were
filed with the unemployed. What
ground is there for expecting
better conditions when the I'M
healthy stimulus of the war has
spent its force and our industries
and workingmen are exposed to
the competition of an energized
Europe?

BLUFF" DECEIvES NO ONE
Foolish Pretensons of Means Beyond
Command Stupid Though Most
Common Fault.

Trying to make people believe that
we possess more than we really do is
what keeps most of us in debt.
1t is far better to have less preten-
tious home, and even to entertain less
lavishly than our neighbor, than to be
constantly harassed by collectors
whom we are unable to pay.
It is a foolish idea of living which
prompts us to spend more than we
make.
It may be that you have never been
thrown out Of employment when you
did not have a few dollars ahead.
If not and you are making no prep
aration to meet such a contingency,
the sooner you get some experience
along that line the better.
! The earlier in life you learn the les
son which 1t teaches, the more profit
able it will be to you, and the effect
may not be SO disastrous as in later
years.
Other men with just as firm hold as
you have lost their jobs, and it is fool
ish for you to think that you have a
life interest in your place. Better be
prepared for the changes which are
sure to come to most of us, and never
mind what other folk think about the
way you spend or do not spend.
Be sure, anyway, you are not fooling
them much, for the foolish spender is
always easy to detect.-Chicago Exam

Why a "Club" !
(Vergennes Enterprise)

To the Editor:

ator Page signs his own name to
communications addressed to

a reason? l..

The point raised by our cor
respondent is one that has prob
ably occurred to others who are
following the fortunes of the two
leading candidates for Senator,
as put forth in newspaper adj
vertisements.
We should say that one reason
why Mr.. Fletcher does business
under the guise of a club is be.
cause he prefers to do business
that way. To come out in the
open and print the Fletcher advs
over his own signature would
close a very convenient loophole
that of evading responsibility
Cor anything the club might say
This is shown by the advertising
put out in the week of Angus
10, when a false statement wa:
uttered which the club refuses tt
to disavow.
Another advantage: The law:
of Vermont limit the campaign
expenses of a candidate fol
United State Seuator to $40
600. But a club expend any a
mount it likes. See /?
Aside from this, it must be ad
mitted that Mr.. Fletcher's fav
orite weapon has long been the
club. And how he did WELD il
