The decision of the Mortified News to
do all that it can toward the election of
it's townsman. DIR. W. b. Mayo. as Gov
ernor of Vermont despite the fact that
he belongs to party opposite to the
supposed political faith of the newspaper,
is perhaps explIcable on the ground of
local pride; but the same cannot be said
of certain other Republican newspapers
In Vermont which show unmistakable
signs of "bolting" the Republican nomi-
nee after they had castigated that same
man, Cement, for boiling the Repnbli-
can party some years back. The atti-
tude of such papers does not appear to
be consistent with the stand which they
took back in 1902 when Clement decided
to "bolt" the Republican convention
and run independently for Governor.
Then it was asserted that Clement had
committed one of the gravest political
crimes imaginable: now the same crime
appears to have been transferred into a
natural pri vilege.

TRAPPERS ALL READY
Skins of Vermont Fur Bearers
Will Bring High Prices

The unusual high price Of raw furs is
causing local trappers to get ready early
for the fall catch and local hardware
dealers report that there is already a
good demand for steel traps.
With the first cold weather various
animals begin to take on their fall coats
and it is then that the fur becomes
prime. Fomerly thousands of dollars
worth of pelts were wasted because
trappers were too anxious to get ahead
of the other fellow and set their traps
before the pelts were covered by the full
and glossy coat which makes the hides
of value to be made up into garments or
to be used as trimmings. Now state
laws protect all fur bee ring animals un-
til the fur is in saleable condition, this
being one of the economical phases of
the game laws Buyers cooperate by
refusing to handle early caught skins.
Last season trappers reaped rich
harvest, furs participating with other
merchandise in war prices. Fall sales
in New York of last years catch indi-
cate that offerings the coming season
will be higher than in 1917.
OF the pelts which are collected in
Vermont, skunk are in great demand as
are muskrats, foxes, mink and raccoon
and even house cats bring good price.
The trapper who remembers selling
muskrat hid, for 10 cents as a boy, now
receives over dollar for the best skins
and a SIS bill will hardly buy No. 1
skunk for which % was the standard
price for years.
The Vermont laws permit the taking
of skunk, raccoon and foxes October 20,
and thereafter, but it is unlawful to
catch muskrat and mink until NOvem.
Der !.
SpOrtsmen who have been out after
small game report good success SO far.
Last year ruffed grouse were particular
lY scarce but the species seem to have
"come back" in a way which is encour-
aging to game fanciers Grey squirrels
are plentiful in some districts.
The deer season this year begins No
vember 10 and closes November 20.

eco TO HE'LL!
Major Whittlesey Gives Abrupt
Answer to Hun Demand of
Surrender.

With the American Forces Northwest
OF Verdun, Wednesday, Oct. 9. The
brightest spot in the heroic and amazing
story of the now famous loss battalion"
which belonged to the 18th division, as
yet untold, was the climax to the fourth
day OF the troops beleaguerment in the
Argonne forest.
When the men were long foodless and
almost wholly without ammunition and
when many were weak from ex-
haustion but not one despairing, an
American who had been taken prisoner
by the Germaps suddenly appeared at
the little camp surrounded in the valley.
The man had been sent bliudfolded
rom the German headq uarters with a
typewriter note to Maj. Whittlessey
reading:
Americans, you are surrounded on
all sides. Surrender in the name of hui
mainly. You will be we'll treated"
Maj. Whittlessey did not hesitate a
fraction of second.
go to hell" he almost shouted. Then
he read the note to those around him
and his men, despite their WEAKNESS and
hunger, and in imminent danger every
moment, cheered so loudly that the Ger
mans heard them from their observation
posts. Every living man, wouU'ed or
well, in the battalion enthusiastically ap-
proved Maj Whittlesey's abrupt ans
wer when the news of was circulated
through the position.

Charles S. Dana must carry the job
of town representative in New Haven
around in his vest pocket when he comes
out as candidate for speaker before he is
elected. This is sample of cock-sured-
ness that no other candidate for town or
city representative up to this time has
approached. There have been one or
two instances in recent years where a
prediction candidate was mentioned SO
Often for some high Office that when the
votes were counted he found he had been

Burlington News says:-"Most OF the
incoming Vermont legislature were nom
mated by their constituents with the
belief that they favored the Sheppard
amendment. We have an idea that this
fact is appreciated and that no attempt
will be made by any great number Of
legislators to sidestep their obligation in
the matter. We have notion that the
amendment is as good as accepted by
this"
Very true, and it is useless to talk
otherwise.

LEST We FORGET"
Nation Does Well to Honor the
Memory of the Founder of
Its Glorious State of In
dependence.

z f we today lived in a colony, ground
down by unjust laws, our passion
for national life secretly and trag-
ically burning, if Washington had
failed, had died in vain for the cause
which in fact he brought to lasting tri-
umph-then for poor sentimental hu-
mainly he would shine with a luster
greater than now is his, writes Joyce
Kilmer in the New York Times. His
cause triumphed; the dream became
reality, and therefore lost the charm
Of the dream. Washington, dying on
his bed, in his honOred old age, his
hopes realized, is a noble figure. But
he lacks the dramatic appeal of Wash
ingtOn bidding farewell to his children
at the foot of the gallows.
BY some strange perversity of hui
man nature the cause we consider TO-
mantle and picturesque is always a
Lost Cause. The names most deeply
loved are those of the fallen leaders
whose partisans met with defeat
Robert Bruce and Robert Emmett, Will
liam Wallace, SarSfield and SObieski,
that ''fair and fatal king" Charles l.,
and his prosecuted and uncrOwned
heirs. Children of Union soldiers
though we may be, our hearts beat
more quickly at the thought of Lee
than at the thought of Grant. We rise
when the band plays 'The Star-Span-
gled Banner" but we rise and shout
when it plays "Dixie"
And it must also be acknowledged
that a tragic death endears @ states
man to the generations that follow
him. If you are a great leader and
want to be sure of pOsterity's affection,
see that your cause fails. Then the
conquerors will legislate against the
hOnoring of your memory, and that
will make your fame secure. But if
your cause succeeds, then at least see
that your death is sudden and violent.
Give the world drama, legend.
Washington triumphed. At York
town he captured Corvallis redcOats
and put an end to tyranny on our
shores. 1t is not forbidden to honor
his memory; the wearing of the red,
white, and blue is attended by no per-
lis. And so we take things for grant
ed; we forget the hideOus dangers
through which we passed only some
hundred and two-score years ago; we
take for granted our nationality, our
freedom, and the fearless warrior, the
enlightened statesman who gave them

scarcely a man had pair of shoes. AL
though the total of the army exceeded

When he reached home his wife asked
the reason for his agitation.
"I have this day SEEM replied he,
