FRANK HowE's LOYALTY.

In the form of political advertise
ment The Reformer prints today col
lection of editorial utterances ON which
the disciples of Charles H. Darling
base their charge that Frank Z. Howe is
not thorough going American. The
Reformer is not proud of this method
Of attack and has little reason to fear
its harm to Mr. Howe s candidacy for
governor.
1t should be remembered, however,
that these editorials were written while
popular opinion was in the evolution
airy stage so far as the war is con-
cerned, and when at least some of the
sentiments they expressed were those
of no less a parsonage than President
Wilson himself To rake them up at
this time and publish them IN distort-
ed form for the purpose of injuring
Mr.. Howe's gubernatorial chances is
about as logical as to claim that Theo-
dore Roosevelt is pro-German because
after the war started, he said that
"our people need pay homage to the
great efficiency and the intense patri-
otism of Germany
Frank Howe is as loyal an American
as there. is in Vermont; as interested
in the cause for which this country i,
fighting as any other father who has ;
son in the service. As governor h,
could be depended upon to do all il
his power to help win the war. Tha
IS the real consideration.

their hands We're actually tired from
clapping so much, and yet they
couldn't stop clapping for the tricks
were so wonderful.
The clowns, Billie Brownie, Bonnie
Brownie, Peter Gnome and Peter Cob
lin walked around and cracked foxes,
they said funny things and did funny
tricks and behaved just like real
clowns In any circus.
There were other brownies who
sold pink lemonade and peanuts and
who kept calling out:
"Come now, get bag of fresh pea
nuts. Or get glass of pink lemonade.
The thing to do at the circus is to eat
too much and to get sick. Come on.
have some pink Lemonade"
But some of the brownies in the au-
| dience told the brownies who were SELL
ing the pink lemonade and peanuts
that they shouldn't call out such things
| that people in the real circus never
did. For, they said, if they warned
the people that the pink lemonade and
peanuts might make them sick If they
kept on buying and eating and drink
ing, they would never sell any.
And after all the tricks were over
Mr.. Giant announced q fine concert Il
be given at the close of the program
for which all the little people of Fairy
land stayed, and the chief entertainer
was dear old Witty Witch, who TOLD
fortunes and sang songs.

Frank T. Howe deserves the favor of
voters on account of his wide knowl-
edge of the state and its people; his
creditahle record as legislator, speaker
and lieutenant governor: his correct
stand upon leading issues of the pres
ent. and his general fitness to fill the
goyernorship. Some fault has been
found with him because he now de-
clares for nation wide prohibition. al
though formerly a supporter of local
option. In this respect he is abreast of
the current. There is going on a ire
mendous change of sentiment on this
question all over the country. Every.
thing indicates the adoption of the ma
tional amendment next year. Vermont
will surely ratify. 1t would even were
Mr.. Clement chosen. Mr.. Howe s
change of attitude corresponds to that
of Judge Darling and of many other
public men who see the hand writing
on the wall. Vermont will do well not
to select a reactionary. Mr.. Howe has
| been uniustly assailed for alleged Ger
! man sympathies Judge Darlng's at
| tempt to discredit him in this way i
most unworthy.
| Mr. Howe has been i'll and his can
| vass has necessarily suffered. His re
| sources do nots enable him to mattel
his rivals in the amount of publicity
that the primary system requires. Som,
of his thunder has been stolen--witnes:
Clement s direct appeal to families o
soldiers that he favors continuance o.
state pay-something that Mr.. Howe
stood for in his initial declaration. Blu
in spite of these things, Mr.. Howe
| will poll a large and we expect tn,
leading vote in the primaries next Tues

thought that was a great trick, and Mr..

"It's wonder the young lady can do
such trick. The still greater wonder
Is that they can do such a trick to-

And then Mr.. Giant cracked his whip
while the Elves came out riding beau
tiful white horses. They jumped
through pink hoops which matched
their pink costumes and they did the
most wonderful of tricks. There were
some horses and elves for every ring.

refused to work, and tormented his cap
tors by continually shouting:
We gave ye hell at the Marine,
didn t we, FRITZ We gave We hell at
the Marine, eha''
He continued this, undaunted by their
threats, for many days. Finally, the of
ficers, exasperated, offered him the choice
of either being shot Or getting into a
German uniform and submitting to the
discipline of a German soldier.
After a struggle, he gave in, and the
first night his new Boche comrades well
coined him to their ranks and demanded
"a patriotic speech. Tommy rose and
said: n

fees which under the convention system
used to be passed around. In the case of
Mr.. Tenney, the only one of the three
senatorial aspirants who opposes national
prohibition, it may be fairly assumed
that he will get the votes of most of
those who believe as he does and who
consider this the dominant issue of the
campaign, and it would be foolish to
claim that there are not a considerable
number of such voters in the county.
There is also a contest-if it can be dig
nified by such a title-between Messrs.
W. r. Daley and H. b. Chase of this town
for the nomination of states attorney,
but in this instance the choice seems
likely to depend largely on personal pop
ularity. There is no issue involved; no
more, in fact, than there is in the contest
between Messrs. Wellman and Davis for
the nomination of sheriff.
While local plans for next Thursday
registration of men between the ages OF
Is and 45 have not been completed it is
safe to assume that they will follow
closely the arrangements which pre-
vailed a year ago last June. At that
time Brattleboro's total registration was
! 592, and if the ratio assumed by the pro
vost marshal generals Office prevails
here the number included under the new
age limits will be between GOO and 700
1t would not be surprising though, to se'
the total fall below the estimate becaus,
it is generally recognized that the town
power is already pretty well dis
tributed among nearby communities tina
are able to use it in actual war produe
ton.
Yet in spite of the exodus so freel,
commented upon. evidence crops up ever,
little while to confound those lugubriou
critics who imagine Brattleboro's tota
disintegration to be an event of the nea
future. A little while ago it was til
statistics compiled by the makers of tn
most recent directory. Now it is til
public school enrolment figures, whic
show considerable increase over yea
ago.

Stood RaVsges of Time.

The tombs of The patriarchs in Jeru-
salem, the cave of Machpelah, which
Abraham bought for 81 possession of
4 burying place" is still in existence.
For forty centuries it withstood the
ravages Of time and men, relates a
writer.
1t is situated in the town of Hebron,
l6 miles south-southwest of Jerusalem,
and sheltered from PROCLAMATION by q
Mahometan mosque that rises above it.
The tomb contains the whole patri-
archal family, with the exception of
Rachel. The cave is divided into an
upper and a lower compartment. Only
the upper compartment is accessible to
the priest in charge Of the mosque,
but he only enters it in times of great
calamity, and for the sole purpose of
praying. As TO the lower compart-
ment, where repose the illustrious ia
theirs of the Jewish nation, they re-
manned completely closed until the
year 1862, when, for the first time,
King Edward VII, then the prince
of Wales, together with Doctor Stan
ley, the dean OF Westminster Abbey,
and two other friends, were granted
admission.
The six tombs are arranged symmet-
ricaily in rows Of twos a seventh, in
the wall, is believed TO belong to Jo-
seph. Abraham's tomb, which has the
form of a coffin with Il shelving ridge,
is about eight feet high, and is set in
the ce1nented stone and marble. 1t is
covered with three gold embroidered
green carpets, which are the gifts of
the emperor of Constantinople, Ma
homet IT, the conqueror of Egypt, Selim
II, and the Sultan Abdul Medjid.

Courtesy Was Wasted.

There is such a thing as wasteo
courtesy and n encounters it almost
every day in the crowded subway or
elevated trains, observes a New York
correspondent. Recently q mar was
ridips IN It CANNED train and when it
stopped at the Forty-second street sta
ton there was an thrush of nassen-
gers. Among them was a richly
dressed woman, who led a boy of
about ten by the hand. She stood be-
fore a misunderstanding MAJ who oc-
cupied a seat. With a touch of his
hat he arose to give the oma his
seat, when the boy broke loose from
her and Jumped into the vacant seat.
The ona made no attempt to take
the seat for herself and remained
standing. What was worse, she made
not the slightest acknowledgment Of
The man'a courtesy.
