case of Truman II. Newberry, But the
verdict was more than that it was a
fair warning that election to the
United States Senate (and presumably
to other high positionsl cannot be Sc
cured by other than approved methods
without danger of the person involved
becoming subjected to the ignominy of

Moreover, the result of the trial is
likely to prove Encouragement to
the practice. of using large sums of
money in advancing ones political as
pirations. Time was when the United
States Senate was called rich mans
club by those who had some sinister
motive back of the imputation, the
inference intended being that it took
a man with considerable means to get
a seat in the Senate. As all fair mind
ed people view the situation, however,
that imputation was both unfair and
unjust, albeit the membership of the
Senate comprised some persons who
were literally endowed with this

lingering suspicion that money was the
open road to the Senate that suspicion |
is now swept away in large part.

to forecast very definite and perma

islation Many uncertainties as to the
working of the new law will remain to
be cleared up, for the measure itself Is
very imperfect and the problem of rail
road credit can hardly be said to have
been solved as yet. But, more imme-
diately affecting the prices Of all Sc
curities is the money and banking sit
uation. IL is doubtful If there can be
any sustained advance until money
rates are lower and the banking posi-
tion is strengthened
While call money was easier last
week in New York, there was no mate
rial change in time money rates, while
rates on mercantile paper rose to seven
per cent on some grades. These early
months of the year are usually a period
of easy money and the present con
trsst is striking. The rise in mercan
tile rates TO the highest point in New
York since August, 1914, shows that
general business is being affected by
the adverse banking situation. What
j. now expected Is another raise in the
rediscount rate Of the federal reserve

The appearance of Raymond Trainor
of White River junction as a candi-
date for Representative Porter H.
Dale's seat in the national House has
q tendency to complieate the second
district situation considerably, over
and above the confusion developed by
the mention of several other probable
candidates some time before Trainor
was considered as a possibility. 1t goes
without saying that Trainor would
command considerable following
throughout the district, more perhaps
because of his viewpoint on the liquor
issue, knowledge of which was gained
through association with Gov Clement,
rather than because of the public's se-
quaintanee with the man and his capa-
bilities. Next to Harry B. Amey Of
Island Pond, Trainor is probably the
least known of the several who have
been mentioned as possible candidates
for the place. In point of interest. the
second district contest for Dale's seat
promises to be only slightly less en-
saging than the fight for the guberns
torial nomination.

the city of Barre, has been recently
making investment of permanent funds
in United States Liberty bonds at the
market price, which, as everybody
knows, is down about ten points be
low par. 1t is a good investment be-
cause, in addition to the regular rate
of interest, the purchaser receives the
extra rate commensurate with the diff
ference between the market price and
par and because, at maturity, the pur-
chaser will receive the par value of the
bonds, or ten points more than was
