his close political supporters, ha:
been able to answer this very Simple
and practical question yet. Just

The Barre Times breaks into an
unusually long editorial in defense of
John W. Gordon, in reply to mention
of Mr.. Gordon's name in connection
with labor and the Democratic party
in this paper Mr.. Gordon, himself,
also uses many words to make reply.
It was not realized that a casual
standardization of all Congressional
candidates in single sentence would
cause such CONSERVATION in Barre. If
this paper made any misstatement of
facts in saying that Mr.. Gordon. is
CLOSELY associated with labor" and
Mr.. Gordon is not so associated, then
it is desired to make a retraction, but
neither the Barre contemporary, nor
Mr.. Gordon himself make a denial.
Mr.. Gordon merely says he is not
''too" closely associated, and the
Times SAYS at is not an accurate por-
travail to infer that he was a partisan
of the labor cause" but neither deny
that he is Associated with labor"
And suppose that Mr.. Gordon is so
associated. Is that any crime? Adler
men than Mr.. Gordon deem it an hon
or to claim such associations. This
paper recognizes much that is good
and beneficial to everyone in labor,
as we have come to speak of organ
lied labor, and because it is generally
talked and supposed that Mr.. Cor
don's tendencies lean more strongly
toward labor than those of his oppon-
ents who seek the same Office, 1t Is
not understood why he should object
to the statement originally made. At
ter all is said and done are not the
words of the Times and of Gordon
sort of camoufage to make his can
didacy appear palatable to those who
oppose organized labor, while it is
quietly passed along among the labor
leaders and most strongly organized
labor influences that Gordon is the
mani" We do not consider Gordon
one issue man and but for the hon.
est belief that Dale is much better
qualified man because of his expert
ence, could support such man as
Gordon. But this attempt to hedge
is not particularly commendable. Is
Gordon associated with labor to such
a degree that he is labor's candidate
or is he not? If he is so associated
is it any dishonor to Gordon, or tc
labor?

What will stop the practice of
horse drawn vehicles travelling at
night without light as the law pro-
rides? Automobiles are held to
strict account with regard to lights
and other road laws, but numerous
teams continue to travel our roads at
night without light, endangering
their own property and life as well
as that of others. General complaints
do not stop it for the simple reason
that specific violations must be known
% be prosecuted and the state can
hardly afford ito keep officials on the
roads nights to find these law break
ers. The states attorney of Orleans
county has recently stated that the
xufo owners are as much to blame for
this trouble as anyone else because
they are not interested enough to
find out who are driving teams with
sut lights He also says that not a
single case of specific complaint viii
20 unprosecuted. Therefore it is up
to- the automobiles themselves. A
few cases where teams without lights
are slapped, the name of the driver
sr Cwuer ascertained and complaint
made, will put stop to this danger
sus practice.

Agan and Emery Are Frank
(Rutland Herald)

Frank w. Agan, candidate for gov
ernor, stands squarely on his two
good feet and admits that he is a
'|wet" candidate. Speaking the 9TH
er night in Felchville, he said among
other things: Il am the wet candi-
date and I stand here on two feet
and admit it, but ! am not here ad-
vocating the open saloon. ! started
out Is years ago to do something for
temperance and the result was the
local option law-the best temper
ance measure Vermont ever had"
Wet or dry, Vermonters are bound
to respect a man who stands on an
issue squarely and refuses to be NOV
ed by expediency or supposed politi-
cal advantage. The other end of the
proposition is Candidate Emery, who
similarly stands squarely for prohib-
ition, local, state and national, as ne
has stood for years.
The Herald does not particularly
believe in prohibition, but 1t respects
Mr.. Emery much more than a candl-
date who tells voters in wet territory
that he has always believed in IL
cense" and that local option is the
ness" then, when he gets into dry
IHaI Lie LOU
amendment has settled the rum is
sue for all time"
Neither can the voters have the
same respect for a candidate who
evades the issue entirely, or who
ostrich-like alleges that it is not AT
issue, despite the fact that it is the
one live and potent subject of politi
cal argument and discussion every
where in Vermont.

Postmaster Heath of Derby Line
went over rural route No. / with the
driver yesterday, inspecting the road,
by direction of the post-office depart
ment in Washington. He found the
Brewer road from the Derby town
line to the Holland creamery, in bad
condition. The highway from the
corner of B. F. Stratton's to J. H.
Smiths corner, was likewise in bad
condition, as was the section between
j. M. Pages and the Tabor corner.
From the latter place to Caswell's
Mills the road was bad practically all
the way. One day last week the driv-
er found this road impossible at one
point. To reach the boxes in the
CaswelPs Mills section he had 20
leave his regular route at the Bis
sonnet Corner, retracing over the
same road. To remedy this Mar
shall Ames, a private citizen, turned
out next day with men and teams and
fixed up the worst place. 1t is claim
ed that no work has been done or
many of the roads in Holland during
the past year or more, the whole eff
fort going to the so-called sstrunk
lines" with the result that certain
sections of mail service may be dis
continued by order from Washington
Postmasters at rural delivery Offices
are required to make these inspec-
tons and report upon actual condi-
tons.
