cox LOSING GROUND.

While it undoubtedly is true people
like to see a scrap between politicians,
they dislike a nasty and unfair fighter.
Calling names, boisterous talk or
rowdyism are not an acceptable sub
stitute for deserved punishment of a
bully or a villain, even in a presiden-
tial candidate. Governor Cox in maxi
ing his charges against the managers
of the Republican campaign apparently
assumed the role of vituperous brag
CART. The meeting of the senate COM
mittee investigating campaign ex-
penses has completed his downfall.
Governor Cox himself could not show a
shadow of proof for more than half
of his charges of a $15,0O0,000 Repub
lican slush fund but to the inyestigat-
ing committee seeking the facts he
has not yet given an iota of evidence to
support his charges. The acknowledge
ment of Chairman White before the
committee at Chicago yesterday that
he had no evidence whatever in behalf
of the Democratic leader is such COM
plete discredit that it is pitiful.
Governor Cox chose the ground.
marked the ring, specified the weapons
and challenged the Republican leaders
to the combat and deserves no SYM
pathy in his failure to make good. In
his defeat he resorts again to calling
names and abusive language. OF Chair
man Hays of the Republican national
committee whose testimony was given
under oath he says: 81 cannot believe
a single word he says. - The statement
that George T. Carroll, president of the
New Jersey Federation of Liquor, Inter
ests, was soliciting funds for the Cox
campaign he denies, although the let
ter signed by President Carroll is pro-
duced. This letter bears the slogan
Help Elect Men Who Will Kill Pro-
hibition and contains these sentences:
"The nomination of Governor Cox for
the presidency is a big victory for
our interests =. Governor
Cox is a pronounced wet"
1t is now up to our organization to
stand unitedly behind the ticket of Cox
and Roosevelt and roll up such ma
jority as will show convincingly the
public will is in our favor"
GIVE must have money at once to
carry on the work that we had planned
Jump in and help us fight. Give as
much as you can afford -
Governor Cox refuses to appear be-
fore the investigating committee and
relies upon his charge that all Republ-
can managers are liars to win public
favor and confidence. He starts today
for the West for another upheaval of
abuse and calumny. But it will be
strange if those westerners, who know
a fight and clean and effective fighter,
enthuse over his mouthy tactics. The
zenith of Governor Cox's career as
eampaigner was passed when he al
lowed the chairman of the Democratic
national committee to go before the in
vestigating committee with out a single
fact to support his charges.

A WoMAN'S BACK.
The Advice of This Brattleboro Woman
is of Certain Value.

The Advice of This Brattleboro Woman
is of Certain Value.
Many a woman's back has many
aches and pains.
Oftimes it's the kidneys fault.
That's why Doan's kidney Pills are
SO effective. Ask your neighbor.
Many Brattleboro women know this,
Read what one has to say about it:
Mrs. p. G. Colgrove, u Prospect
Court, Brattleboro, says: 81 think
Doan g Kidney Pills are great medi-
cine. used them when my back and
kidneys were in a bad condition due,
L think, from heavy homework. Ny
back was lame and sore and 7 eouldn t
sit down or stoop over without sharp
pains shooting through my back. Ny
kidneys were weak and irregular in ac-
ton. I heard of Doan s Kidney Pills so
got a couple boxes and in q short time
they cured the attack. Since then |
have used Doan 3 as kidney tonic and
have gotten excellent results

Island. One of the interesting things
he tells of his journey is that he had
SO invitations to ride from AUTOMOBILE
lists, most of the offers coming from
motorists in Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont. The invitations de-
creased as he travelled southwark and
while in Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land he had practically none. Are the
residents of southern New England less
courteous or they in a greater rush, or
both?

GREENFIELD FAIR THREE DAYS.
Will Be Held Sept. ID, IS and 10 This
Year-Night Shows Also.

The annual Greenfield, Mass, cattle
show, known as the live wire fair, will
be held this year Sept. IL, Ia, 10 and 10,
with the largest array of exhibits and
the finest entertainment program that 1t
has ever presented in its many years of
growing success. For the first time the
fair will be run three days and three
nights, and this innovation is expected
TO swell the attendance to above last
years figures of close TO 10000.
The extended duration of the fair
does not entail thinning out" of the
entertainment program. The officials
of the society deliberated long upon the
question of adding another day and
night, and when they finally concluded to
take the step it was planned at the same
time not only to maintain the quality of
the fair program i'll every way, but to
improve it by liberal expenditures of
money to secure the best of attractions
and enough of them TO keep the crowds
amused and instructed every moment
from the opening of the fair Monday
evening, Sept. l3, to shutdown Thursday
evening, Sept. Ii.
A summary of the attractions at the
live wire fair includes superior exhibits
of purebred cattle, blooded horses, sheep,
swine, poultry and pet stock, two exhibit
tion halls crowded with products of home
and garden, an extensive automobile
show, big exhibit of fish and game by
the Massachusetts, fish and game COM
mission, harness racing for $4,000 in
purses, the finest program of vaudeville
and special amusement attractions ever
seen on Franklin park, music by two
well known military bands, one of the
largest midways at any New England
fair, dancing in a big open air pavilion
with continuous orchestra music, drills
by troop of United States cavalry from
Fort Ethan Allen, and the largest dis
play of ordnance and small arms, both
ancient and modern, ever seen outside of
United States arsenal.

School Dental Work.
(Keene Sentinel.)


The extension of dental work among
school children and the establishment of
clinics for their benefit is one of the
most practical forward steps in modern
education. No school system can be
called complete which has not as one of
its fundamental activities the care of the
children's health and their instruction
in the simple rules of hygiene. Foremost
in such work comes care of the teeth,
for upon their condition the entire bodily
condition depends to a large degree; and
unless the body functions correctly there
cannot be satisfactory mental activity.
The appointment of competent dentists
to oversee the care of the children's
teeth is a thing which should be neg
lected by neither the city school authori-
ties nor those of the rural districts. The
former are better established in this
work than the latter, but the need in the
country is even greater than in town,
for dentists are not so easily reached. and
hence tooth troubles are liable to neglect.
The war showed up the need for more
general work along this line. 1t also saw
greater strides made in it than In any
similar period since time began. If the
good work is carried on effectively among
the school children, the new generation
should have a far better record and a
higher health percentage than any that
has gone before.

The 10-story fall of an elevator in
New York this week, injuring several
persons seriously, reminds US that de-
spite the thousands of passenger and
freight elevators working from one
days end to the other there are few
serious accidents because of them. Ell
evator construction seems to be near
mechanical perfection for when one
considers the number of people in the
country using them every twenty four
hours, the percentage of serious or
fatal accidents proves very small.
