Disguised

L. P. Thayer, the dean Of Yer
mont newspaperdom, who is now
publisher and editor of The Morris
vile Messenger after owning several
newspaper properties on both sides
of the state in the last Is years, adj
mits that until within a short time
he was undecided as to whether he
would support Charles H. Darling
OF Frank E. Howe for governorship.
Darling's attack on Mr.. Howe when
the latter was dangerously i'll in a
hospital, too i'll to see anybody, set
tied the question with the veteran.
Here is a part of what he says:
Gwen were the charge true it is
dirty politics. 1t is striking a man
when he is down and cannot help
himself. 1t is not fair play, far from
it." Mr.. Thayer goes on to say that
he cannot support man of the
character that the interview makes
Mr.. Darling appear to be, regardless
of the truth or falsity of the charge.
And, as snapper to the editorial
in which he gives vent to his right
eous wrath, he says: awe would
support and vote the Democratic
ticket before we would vote for such
a man. "-Brattleboro Reformer.

''While you're over there for freed

I'll be just as brave as you are, in
a safer sort Of way,
And I'll keep production going every

Said the soldier to the workman as
the ship put out to sea:
all be true to you, my brother, If
you'll just be true to me.
Now we've got to work together, it's
my job to bear a gun,
But it's yours to keep on toiling if
we're going to lick the Hun"
Said the workman to the soldier: "I
will back yoR to the last,
No more strikes for higher wages till
the danger time is passed"
Said the soldier to the workman:
"I'm for you and you're for me,
Now we understand each other, let

REMEMBER THE DATE.

It maybe that another date for Alaska will bet set for the registration of men between the ages of Is and 45 according to the recent act Of congress and the proclamation of the President; ; but thus far We have received no notification to that effect In the absence of notice to the contrary; we consider 1t duty to warn those men to be ready next Thursday. September 12.
 On that day 13,000 000 men are wanted. Can we grasp the meaning? This number of men are wanted to end the war.
 With an American army of four million men in France said Chief of Staff General March, Eve can go through the German line wherever we please This army is now almost two million strong To get the rest, congress has let down the bars. Men 18 to 45--both in- cusive--except those previously registered, are to furnish the additional number needed to push and drown the Runs in the Rhine and free the world Of kaiserism with all it implies. Sep- temcer F should be a glorious day for 1t will give those men the opportunity of their lives while Us old "stifs and kids will be left ou5 in the cold. On that day We shall be told by implication to sit back and feel the injury added to our years. Somehow, 1t does not seem fair. But that isn't the point. The point is that thir- teen millions of men must register September F.
