SENATOR PAGE RE-ELECTED. The partisanship of the members of the Vermont legislature does not in- terfere with a recognition of merit.

There is no question but Mr. Foss has pro duced political wonders in his own congressional district, but it is mnot likely that he can do as well through- the state. He repr nts vested erests and grossly misrepresents the tariff. It must be admitted that Mr. Foss feels sure that he can win. He bas the misfortune of being neither a gzood democrat nor a good republi- but a little thing of this kind he egard of much importance in doesn't financed campaign—this is just wh Mr. Foss' campaign is sure to be.

It is said that President Taft's visit to Ellissisland will result in an effort on his part to turn tha tide of immi- gration toward Galveston "and other southern ports, where the immigrants are more needed than at New York, and where the restrictions can be made less strenuous. A told to illustrate what moved the pres- ident to personally act in this matter. A family, composed of a father with many children, a baby in the arms of the oldest girl—17 years old—who acted as mother of the little brood, the real mother being dead. The fa- ther was a doubtful proposition on account of a disease with which he was afflicted. What to do in such a case constituted a struggle between duty and humanity. This family is likely to be admitted on President Taft's recommendation. The president thinks a large number of these immigrants might be taken care of at the ports of Charleston and New Orleans. It may be a good thing for the immigrants and the country that President Taft made this visit to Ellis island. PLEDGING DEMOCRATIC NOMI- NEES TO FREE LUMBER. It would not be at all strange if the democratic candidates for congress were willing to pledge themselves to most anything if thereby they could expect to win. Colonel Bryan is very active in his state to get the demo- cratic candidates to endorse the plank of the democratic national platform | of 1908, which read as follows: ‘We demand an immediate repeal of the tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lumber, timber and logs, and that e articles be placed upon the free plank was the hope of that campaign and not a few democrats | who had pledged to support it in con- s did not do so. To be exact about onduct of the democrats, it was than a year following the cam- | paign that an amendment was intro- duced into congress providing for free lumber, or the carrying out of this democratic platform - pledge. The nendment was lost by a vote of 200 against it and 181 for it, and thirty- eight of those voting against it were democrats, who had preached the “free lumber” plank of their party’s platform. Without their votes the amendment would have been adopted; their votes defeated it It is as good promisers that the dem- ocrats have an established reputation. but as doers they have cut no ice for many year THE WORLD’'S HELLO'S! al World's 18,000,000, telephone, has 10, According to the Elect the world hello’s T by atistics, 000 times a ye 000.000 telephone stations, 24,000,000 miles of wire and $1,500,000,000 tied up n the business, with as many hello girls as there are me navies of all nat Uncle Sam two-thirds of the world's telephones and mileage of wire 7.083.900 stations and 15,549,000 miles of wire. in the armies an has To get a little nearer home, it may | be mentioned that in New York state there are in use at present 750,000 tele- phones, which is only 150,000 less than are in use in the entire German em- pire—and Germany leads all the Fu- countries in the number of her commercial telephones.

If there's any- thing makes me red-headed, it's the arrogance of the official whippersnap- pers. 1 have every reason to believe there's a letter here for James Fox- worthy Shoonover. I'm just as sure of it as though I saw it before me. I come in here politely and ask you in the most gentlemanly way possible if there is such a letter. ‘No,’ says you, ‘there isn’'t’ and the tone of your voice intimates that I may go hang myself. “Maybe the spineless citizens of this village will stand for your doggone insolence, but I won't. A postmaster ain’t any bigger in my eyes than any other man, and the mere fact that you draw a salary from the government doesn’t give you any right to insult a man whose father saved the union army at Antietam. So you just hand ‘| over that lettar, or the first thing you know yowll get a_telegram from my old school-mate, Postmaster General Hitchcock, asking you to hand in your resignation.” There is no letter here for James Foxworthy Shoonover,” said the post- master, clamly. “I have lookad over the letters a dozen titnes in the last hour. MM it will make you feel bet- ter, however, I'll go over them again.” “Yowd better go over them, if you value your official scalp. And if that letter ‘isn’t there, the best thing you can do is to bunt around the office until you find it. T'm a bad man to fool with. ¥For all I know you may have the letter in your hip pockat.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY { O LETTER $ L R T S S “The impudence of a country post- master is something intolerable. You swell up with false pride and imagine you are the flywheel of the govern- ment, when, as a matter of fact, you are the smallest cog in the whole blamed machinery. If vou fell off the earth right now and took your one- horse post office with you, the gov- ernment would go along and mnever know it. A postmaster should be the most humble and obsequious of men, for he is enjoying a soft snap at the expense of the taxpayers. When one of those taxpayers drops in and asks if there’s a letter for James Foxwor- thy Shoonover the postmaster should take off his hat and make a Dbow realizing his own unworthiness. But instead of that—— “There is nothing here for anybody named Shoonover,” said the postmast- er, in a monotonous voice. “I suppose you think I'll take your word for it!” said the stranger. ‘I am expecting a letter from my old friend President Taft. It should have been here two weeks ago, and 1 am absolutely sure it has arrived before now. I have no doubt that when vou saw a letter from the White housz your curiosity mastered you and you opened and read it and then hid it to destroy the evidence of your crime. But wait until you see what Taft does about it. He won't stand for any in- dignities offered his old friend James Foxworthy Shoonover. ‘When he was & student at Yale, T was the son of one of the janitors, and we often played leapfrog together.

It does not appear to be the duty of any one to revise the rules which gov- ern the game of politics.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR They Were Delivered. Mr. Editor: In a recent letter a riter asks “prayer for rain.” The “counsel Is timely and good. We should ever remember that when the wisdom and strength of man fail that there is an inexhaustible supply above obtained by the power of prayer. When our family sold Joseph into Egypt— the rest of us soon followed, and while making brick without straw we un- doubtedly prayed. A post card that would give expression to the looks i cast upward toward the ime sun as dinner time ap- 1 would show how earnestly they prayed, but they got deliverance just the same. Lateér on, the Afri- can slave in the United States, while engaged in the cultivation of the yam, the cotton and the cane, cast up his ignorant bat just the same effective prayer and it was heard. Deliverance came to him and the nation pald the penalty as the other one had done. Strange as it may seem, greenback or bonds were not taken, the debt was partly paid in blood. the best blood of the nation, at the rate of four pounds for one. Some of your readers made fun of these last prayers but got it bad when they were anweréd. Yours truly, OWEN C. WILLIAMS. Oct. 20, 1910 Norwick Labor Union Endorses Hunter Mr. Editor: That the sleeping giant, Labor, 1 at last awakening to a real- ization of its latent power when prop- erly applied at the ballot box is shown by the endorsement of Robert Huntar, socialist candidate for governor, by the Norwich Central Labor union. All friends of labor, organized and unor- ganized, should rejoice at this sign of growing intelligence on the part of un- ion workers in the largest city in New London county. An increased con- sciousness of their interests as workers will lead them to examine the platform and candidates of the socialist party and they will find that the platform has been written with the interests of Waterford. the working class solely in mind and their candidates are champions every- where of the toilers, whether organized or not. Three out of five of the social- ist congressional candidates are union men and the others would be if their trades were organized. Both repre- sentative candidates from Norwich and the candidate for representative from Ledyard on the socialist ticket are un- ion men. Organized labor of Norwich and others who pretend to be in sym- pathy with the cause of the toilers, don’t _vote a scab ticket on election day, Nov. 8th. The socialist party is the only one which in its constitution demands that all its printing should bear the union label and in avery con- ceivable way gives its moral and finan- jal support wherever organized labor is engaged in a struggle with organized capital.

Some of the women who attempt to explain it are sure that the only real unrest due to the fact that the sex has b come enlightered and Is eager to ol tain its “rights”. And with all this there remains a perplexing uncertain- ty as to what the “rights” of women may be. A woman in Danielson, Conn., wrote to The New York Tribune the other day in emphatic airing of a grievance. She 1s annoyed because men still insist upon smoking in public places. She was annoyed much on the deck of a steamer returning from Europe, and she added that “it is equally true that we women have no rights in (hir American hotels. Men are provided with magnificent smok- ing rooms, but they claim for them- selves the whole hotel even the dip-! ing room.” It cannot be denied that there is some justice in the complaint, vet it is hard to suggest an equitable reme- d It is difficult to preserve the Tights” of others.
