LABOR CANDIDATES SUCCESSFUL IN
 STATE OF ILLINOIS
Whole Ticket "Over the TOp'' in AurOra-Miner Elected Mayor of Collinsville = Hot Battle in Joliet
(From The New Majority)

CHICAGO-TKe Labor Party scored many victories in the city and village elections in Illinois. This put renewed vigor into the work of the delegates from the state convention who are hustling to organize on state wide basis.
 In Aurora the whole ticket went over the top by 1,20O plurality, elect ing Charles Townsend, Mayor; Charles Smith, city clerk; James N. Kramer, city attorney, and Jules Quiren, city treasurer.
 In Kankakee five aldermen out of seven won on the Labor ticket.
 Kewanee elected J. H. Andrews, 400, and two commissioners out of four.
 Miners Win in Collinsville
 Labor in Collinsville elected James P. Oar nody mayor by 321 votes; David Killinger, city treasurer, and James Silva and Albert Mottershead, aldermen.
 In Batavia James Freddendal was elected mayor on the Labor Party ticket by 148 plurality and the other Labor Party candidates who won were Laverne Woodward, city clerk; Will liam Drake, city treasurer, and Ernest Wagner, and Chris Anderson, alder men. The old parties combined against the workers and the largest vote was boiled in the history of the city.
 Wesley Perry won for mayor on the Labor Party ticket in Beardstown by 1,189 plurality and carried five alder men in with him.
 The whole labor ticket won in West vile, Peter Glodowski winning for will lage president and August Hudock, Victor Stanvich and Victor Lenfant winning for trustees. The village voted to become city.
 In Marysville also the whole labor ticket won, with Nelson Roy Kinder for president, Dominick Oberto for clerk and Fred Lange, Oscar Wallace and Edward Morris for trustees.
 Battle Hard in Joliet
 The hottest fight was in Joliet, where William B. Porter lost by only 297 votes and Frank X. Friedrich nosed in as commissioner, the only Labor Party candidate to win.
 Old party politicians combined in many places against the Labor Party men and the fight was hot everywhere, dishonest tactics being used by those who sought to beat the workers.
 This was especially true in Joliet.

Vermont Kitchen Poles.

There's a lot of old Vermontish sights
OF which we can't let go,
Which dog, as 'twere, our days and
nights
From Simonsyille TO Stowe;
Beneath whatever roof | step,
As here and there | rove,
| always look to find the poles
Above the kitchen stove,
Two great long spars on iron hooks,
And right acrost 'em laid
Two smaller ones-not much on looks
And seldom factory made"
I'm sure we shaved our own from spruce
That grew in Gridley's grove,
And there they hung, the last | knew,
Above the Stewart stove.
Each pole, it had two ends or more,
The large as well as small,
-Four ends was towards the outside door,
-Four towards the dining hall"
And hats, caps, frocks and drying cloths
Around them crossbars throve.
Until it looked like Salem street
Above the kitchen stove,
We used to put the frames abroad
On which was strung to dry
The big pound sweets we'd pared and
cored
For applesass and pie:
How good them fruity garlands smelt!--
Where'er my footprints rove,
! look for apple on the poles
Above the Kitchen stove
] used up all the parts of speech
Awishing | could hang
My cap way up there out of reach,
The same as Slimmy Lang;
He swore at me in Latin once
And said by Magnus Jove!
You'll have to grow to use the poles
Or stand upon the stove"
On days when washing would a.froze
Outdoors, instead Of dried,
We used TO hang the colored clothes
Upon the poles inside;
Twas fun to see EN- hanging there
The different shades of NAIVE
1t showed you that the place for poles
Was 'boye the kitchen stove.
If ! should ever own a farm
Up here in Old Vermont,
1t won't do any special harm
To tell you what I'd want
Some ducks and squads and Jersey cows,
About a half drove,
But most of all set of poles
Above the kitchen stove.

COMPETENT MR.. HOOVER.

After five years service on war work,
Herbert Hoover returns to his home in
the United States with his work viz
tually accomplished. Undoubtedly there
yet remains much to be done in the
countries of Europe before those coun-
tries get back onto their prewar basis
as regards the supplies of food, but the
great pinch incident to shortage and
poor distribution has been passed in
large measure, so Hoover's work at the
head of the interalied commission could
be safely concluded 1t has been fine
work which Hoover has accomplished in
Europe, as well as in the United States.
II was a work full Of tremendous prob
lens and very serious perplexities, call
ing for marked degree Of perspicacity
and energy, combined with relentless per-
sistency. To the work Hoover brought
those qualities and he was thereby en-
abled to carry out his plans successfully.
Now Hoover returns for the purpose
of gaining some Of the rest which he so
much needs; but it is probable that a
man of his stamp win not remain long
in private life or virtual seclusion as far
as public work is concerned The United
States needs, in some capacity or other,
just such men as Hoover has proven
himself to be in an emergency. Let this
man be kept in the mind of the people of
the United States, for the United States
will need him, if it does not need him
now.

Almost ancient rumors that Secretary
of State Lansing was likely to quit
Wilson's cabinet are given some color by
the testimony of Mr.. Bullitt that Ian
sing declared last spring while in Paris
that the peace treaty would not be &C
ceptable to the American people. Secre,
tary Lansing has not as yet vouchsafed
any explanation of the Bullitt testimony
and so the public has not got the full
case on which to decide the merits Of the
controversy.

sHIFTLEss RAILROAD METHODS.


The preliminary steps are being taken
for the return of the railroads of the
country to private control. As far as
the public is concerned, the time when
the roads shall be out of government
domination cannot come any too soon
1t may be possible under private control
TO buy ticket for a l00.mile trip even
though such trip may have to be taken
on more than one railroad line, for in
stance, the Montpelier 4 Wells River and
the Boston & Maine railroad. Agents
have repeatedly refused, under govern
ment domination, to sell tickets beyond
Woodsville, ~ H., necessitating a hurried
effort at Woodsville to purchase a ticket
for the next few miles of the 100, to be
followed by similar effort if the itin,
erary should happen to pass from the
Boston & Maine railroad to some other
inc And as if that inconvenience We're
not enough passengers get fiat refusal
to check baggage beyond the station OF
the first purchase Of a ticket Travellers
have met with such treatment at the
Montpelier station repeatedly and have
been compelled to resort to the American
Express company to send, their baggage
unless they were willing to stop long
enough at Woodsvile to 90 through the
red tape Of having their baggage re.
checked to the next station and then to
go through the same act at the next
iumping-of place. Oftentimes there is
not time between train connections to
permit of such rechecking Of baggage
So, many people resort TO the express
company for relief and are thus called
upon to stand an extra expense 1t
would seem that as long as the railroads
are all under one control at the present
time il should be possible for the admin.
istration to sell through tickets for a
l00-mile trip at least, and then to check
baggage through to the limit Of such a
trip The present arrangement is an
imposition on the public

This year there were third as many
automobiles as there were horses in Yer
mont. Another year the difference will
be materially reduced, for, during the
present year over 5000 more machines
were registered than during the same
period of the preceding year, and there
is reason to believe that the number of
new cars will be at least as large as dur
ing this year.

One of the conspicuous dramatic sue

opera house on Friday night, when A. X.
Woods presents "Parlor, Bedroom and
Bath" direct from it's phenomenal run
at the Republic theatre, New York City.
"Paror, Bedroom and Bath" is said to
have scored more laughs than any other
comedy on the boards last year. II is
certainly one of the very few plays that
survived the sweltering New York heat,
and ran well into the summer The play
is the work of c. W. Bell and Mark
Swan, and is described rs a farce frolic
