GOT ONE BULLET
INTENDED FOR RABBIT
Anthony Stella of Mortified Not
Badly Hurt Though Lead
Went Near Heart.

Anthony Stella OF Mortified was ac-
cidentally shot Saturday afternoon by
his friend, John Ambrosini, also of
Mortified, while hunting rabbits in
the woods of East Granville. Only one
bullet of the several that struck his
coat penetrated his flesh. he being
heavily clad, but the bullet that did
enter his body caused a profuse flow
of blood from the wound two inches
above the heart
Ambrosini assisted him to nearby
farmhouse and there procured team
to take him to Northfield, where Dr.
w. b. Mayo was summoned TO dress
the wound Stella is confined 70 his
bed to-day and will be X-rayed to de-
termine how far the bullet entered his
chest.
The men were on the side OF hill
when the accident happened, both
waiting for rabbit to emerge from
hole. Ambrosini was above Stella on
the hill, and consequently when he
shot at the rabbit aimed towards his
friend as the rabbit ran in Stella's di-
rection. Stella had previously warned
Ambrosini not to shoot as soon as
the rabbit emerged but TO wait until
it had gone a few feet, since he feared
such an accident might result. Stella's
was not considered critical
to-day He is related to Mr.. and Mrs.
Antonio Gisnni of 364 North Main
street, Barre.

The Regnant Future.

China furnishes a type of. civilization
that has found its strength in rever-
ence of the past. Chinese philosophy
has long maintained that man was
originally created good, and that safe
ty lay in following the ways of the ia
thers China's religion has been form
of ancestor worship and its education
has been largely based on repetition
and memory. This worship of the past
has done much to preserve China, when
other nations sank into Oblivion. But
preservation has been won at the cost
of progress.
In great degree the retrospective
habit dominates every people Ques
tions of right and wrong have long
been decided by precedents derived
from the past. The legahstic mind
dominates us, bulwarking itself on
treaties, constitutions, legitimacies
and charters. II reveres precedents and
is essentially concerned about follow
ing the ways of the fathers Manners,
customs. habits of speech and tradi-
tions have done much to make the oc-
cidentsl a backward looking creature.
But more and more the future
claims attention. If the present is
period of uncertainty and inderision, it
is so partly because the forward look
is becoming regnant. II things we're
formerly regarded largely from the
viewpoint of causes, to-day they are
approached with reference TO their
probable consequences Morality is now
seen to be the overriding of immedi-
ate and personal considerations for
something to be attained in the fu-
ture. Issues Of conservation, economic
polity, child welfare and training. edu
cation. war and peace look to the fu-
ture, and because they do they form
some of the most important problems
that face modern society.
But the future contains the eventful
thing for all Of us. II lies before us a.
a plastic piece of clay. II contains the
of social realization and
Childhood catches its
youth Is controlled by its
great notes, and old age hears in il
the promise OF a better world. Hu
msnity stands to-day as ever facing
the coming time And in this atti-
tude lies much hope of good. The
voice from before speaks to-day -
i never did, saying: This Is the way.

STILL IN DOUBT
Both the Democratic and

Leaders Expressed Con-
fidence in the Outcome of
the. Election-Hays Puts
Harding Vote at 36S.

New York, Nov. L. Republican anC

dales.

Interest in the last day of the great
fight centered in the final desperate at
tempt TO bring over doubtful states
with large electoral votes to deliver,
or to save United States senators in
other doubtful states, where the elec
toral vote is not large enough to be
indispensable, The salient example of
states in the first category is Ohio,

dates, with "a votes, while the out

homa. All these, as well as the Buckeye
state, were claimed by both Republicans
and Democrats.
Second only to the outcome of the
voting is the subject: ''What will
the women do?' Leaders of both ma
ior parties disclaim possession of ad-
vance information on what is to be ex.
peoted of the new class of voters ex-
eroising their franchise in all the
states for the first time
Speculation centers about the size
of the female vote in comparison with
the male vote and the possibility of
the woman's vote being as a whole in
dependent enough TO overturn tables of
election probabilities compiled over
period of years in which certain states
have been normally inclined TO one po-
litical faith or the other.
Most Of the wiseacres declare that
the recent Maine election, where the
women's vote was well under half that
IF the men. can be considered no criter-
ION for pTedicating national election
results. Women in states where uni |
versal suffrage has obtained for some
years are expected TO outdo their. new
ly enfranchised sisters, And, oh the |
other hand, the experts admit, this
hypothesis also may be wrong.
The Socialist party has made claims
for the largest proportionate women's
vote. With the new voters properly /
belonging to the party added to non
socialists, who, they say, will vote tie

ment of the party's presidential nomi.

RISING COSTS DECLARED
BAR TO COAL GAS PLANT
Howard S. Reside Says Engineers
Have Been Working on
Plan Six Months.

When the bureau of standards made
a survey Of the plant of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company in 1918 at
the request of the Public Utilities Com
mission it reached the conclusion that
the unusually high cost of gas in
Washington has been the unavoidable
result Of using the water-gas process
exclusively"
Howard S. Reside, president Of the
company has been working for six
months with engineers of the COM
pany on plans for coal gas plant on
Analostan island, which the company
owns, but the cost of erecting such
a plant is rising SO steadily that Mr..
Reside fears to start it until con-
ditions change.
The president of the company said
that when the plans were first drawn
several months ago the cost would
have been in the neighborhood of
So. 900, 900. The cost. now would be
S5,500,000.
The gas company cannot increase its
capital stock without authority of
Congress. and If the company went
out to raise money to build the plant
now it would have to pay 10 per cent,
according to Mr.. Reside.
officials of the gas company do not
believe another study of the plant by
the bureau of standards is necessary
to adjust the governments rate of
20 cents per thousand cubic feet for
gas.
In the previous survey the bureau
reported on the gas-making efficiency
of the plant. but did not attempt to
go into questions of maintenance,
amortization or taxes.

BOSTON. May Reinforcement of
the prohibition amendment is being
resisted by "a part of our social or
ganization that we are pleased to call
good society" President (Emeritus)
Charles w. Eliot of Harvard Univer-
sity said at meeting of the Unitarian
Temperance Society yesterday
These people are causing a great
deal of trouble all over the country,
principally in teaching lawlessness to
the young" he continued. adding: II
know whereof | speak by reason of
my knowledge of the undergraduate
body of Harvard University"
Mr.. Eliot said that young women are
meeting young men in what he termed
"whoozy" condition at social affairs
which are countenanced by patrons Of
good social standing. The fact that
these young women do not object to
meeting men in this condition, he de-
clared, is impeding enforcement Of the
prohibition amendment.
The speaker cited incidents that had
come under his observation to show
that conditions among working peo-
pie had improved through prohibition.
