STRONGEST CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT. The strongest Republican campaign document of the y.ear Is President Taft's article in the Saturday Evening Post of Oct. 20. It Is a masterly presentation of the accomplishments of the Repub lican party, particularly In the present administration, with reasons for con fidence and retention In poWer. President Taft shows conclusively that he has been tulthful to the trust reposed In him. He says he approved the Payne tariff bill because, above all, It provided the machinery by which alone a just and Intelligent revision of the tariff could be effected a tariff board which, without political bias and free fromS political pressure, would ascertain those facts essential to any Intelligent adjust ment of the rates of duty; because It clothed the executive with power, by means of maximum and minimum rates. to compel Just treatment from foreign nations of American products and ex ports; because It Imposed a tax on tho profits of corporations that at once gavo to the government an Insight Into the operations of these Important Instru mentalities of business, which It had In no other way been able to obtain, and because it provided the machinery whereby incrensed revenues could be collected with facility In th face of an emergency; because It granted to the Filipinos that measure of Justice to which this nation stood pledged and which was essential to their prosperity; and, finally, because it effected a ma terial reduction in the rates of duty not so much of a reduction as he de sired, but as much as he believed coulJ be secured without the aid of that ma chinery, the tariff board, which it created. The Democratic and half-breed tariff bills which have since been passed he has disapproved because they constituted a menace to the welfare of the Amer ican workmen, having been conceived In Insincerity, drafted In Ignorance, and passed with reckless disregard for the millions dependant for a livelihood on the prosperity of the Industries they would have undermined. The passage of adequate nndlntelllgent tariff bills he has not failed to urge, but the approval of Inadequate, unintelligent and menac ing tariff measures he has not failed to dlsapiirovo; even though It would have been easier to disapprove the Payne bill and to approve the makeshift measures of a luter date. Mr. Taft says: "Had I been recreant to my trust and solicitous only for my own political fortunes a different course might have appealed to me, but I pursued the course that was right and for which I have no regrets." Mr. Taft evidently regards the attack on the Judiciary as the supreme Issue of the campaign. On that point he says: "It should not be forgotten that It Is ns much the duty of a great party to oppose policies and legislation that would prove Inimical to the welfare of the nation ns to urge remedies for ex isting evils. The recall of Judges and Judicial decisions is hostile to that form of government which has made the United States the greatest nation In tho world, -which has fostered liberty, pro moted equality of opportunity, and achieved a prosperity beyond the most sanguine dreams of our forefathers. The recall as applied to Judges and their de cisions would undermine the Independ ence of the Judiciary, subject our Judges to political Influences, and render It futile for the poor and the weak to look to the courts for Justice. It should be our constant aim to achieve as complete a separation of the Judiciary and poll tics as we have of church and state, and the Institution of the recall as ap plied to the Judiciary Is retrogression, not progress." My indictment against the Republican administrations of the past Is that un der them we have gone nowhere; we have drifted. We have been without pilots, we havo been without charts. No man has laid down an Intelligible course and In these latter years we have beerj absolutely paralyzed. The quotation above sounds llko the tirade of a demagogue, but as a matter of fact it Is part of a speech delivered In Wilmington, Del., Thursday night by America's most distinguishes "scholar In politics," Woodrow Wilson, the Dem ocratic nomlneo for the presidency. "Absolutely paralyzed" Is pretty good for the progressive and 'prosperous times which the American people have been enjoying In the past decade. The last time that this country was para lyzed was in the period of free soup houses and Coxey's army under Dem ocratic rule, 1S93 to 1897, when shops and mills nil over the country were closed and millions of workmen were unemployed. WEST BRATTLEBORO. Fifteen friends and schoolmates of Miss Grace Emma Smith gavo her a surprise party InBt evening, tho occasion behig her 21st birthday anniversary, Tho company were entertained with phono graph selections, games and music. Re freshments were served and Miss Smith recevel several gifts from her girl friends and a purse from the young men. She has a position as clerk In Houghton & Slmonds's store, FLOODS CRIPPLED WEST RIVER ROAD Mail and Train Service at Standstill Yesterday Torrents of Rain Caused Heavy Damage on Highways Boston &. Maine Con struction Work Not Affected. Heavy damage and much Inconven ience were caused by the downpour of rain throughout this county Tuesday, Wednesday and yesterday. Trafllc on the West Rver railroad was held up all day yesterday by bad washouts, and the mall which should have reached Brat tleboro from West River valley towns yesterday morning did not arrive until about 10 o'clock today. In Peru, In Ben nington county, across the line from Londonderry, Judson D. Bell, 70, Is sup posed to have lost his life while he and his son, Edward, were fording Sawyer brook, the bridge having been washed away. The horse was swept downstream and was drowned. The boy reached shore, but searchers were unable to find his father. There were four places between Townshend and Jamaica Where tho West River railroad was completely washed away, some of the places be ing 75 feet in length, and the shoulder of the roadbed was torn out in a dozen places, one for a distance of 250 feet. Two work trains were sent out yester day morning to repair the washouts. One went from South Londonderry and the other from Brattleboro and they met near Jamaica this morning. The rainfall In 48 hours registered 2.5 Inches on Ferris R. Vaughan's Instru ments, which, although It Is not a rec ord breaking fall, seldom has been equalled In two days In recent years. Sixty feet of the bank wall on the Wet River road near West Dummerston was washed away yesterday and the road was closed to travel. The water wus higher than It had been for several years. The power house of the Twin State Gas & Electric company was closed because there was two feet of water on the lloor and the men could not work. Wilson I. Brown, who had a boat land ing at the old pumping station and a power boat and row boat moored there, had to put out with his power boat yes terday morning to rescue his landing, which had started toward the Connecti cut river. One arch of the 'new Heitzherg bridge on the Brook road was damaged by the high water In Whetstone brook yester day afternoon. It undermined the false work, which holds the cement together during construction, and washed away the cement. One arch has been com pleted by Contractor D. T. Perry, and this was not damaged. The loss on the uncompleted arch will amount to about $100. The Connecticut river rose several feet and Hooded the Island. It covered the baseball diamond and flowed under the grandstand to a depth of 18 Inches. The Retreat meadows were flooded. A foot of water was running over the dam at the big Pleasant Valley reservoir, show ing that the water was 24 feet deep In the reservoir. The rains did not da much damage to the Boston & Maine railroad construction work, but It caused some inconvenience. Driftwood Jammed against the tempo rary trestle yesterday morning so that It backed up ther Iver about 300 feet and It became so compact that workmen could wnlk on the wood to within a few foet of the open water. A large scoop was attached to a derrick and the drift wood was lifted over the bridge and dropped In the river below, thus break ing the Jam. The water did not damage the fills. Col. Goethals, under whose , direction the Panama canal Is being built, has set Oct. 15, 1913, as the tentative date for the passage of the first ship through the canal. Commercial vessels will have its unrestricted use In December, 1914. The canal will be completed Inside the esti mated cost of $400,000,000. Only 24,000, 000 cubic yards of excavation remain to he made out of a total of 242,134,000 yards. The Vermont legislature would do well to give Dr. Henry D. Holton, In his re tirement from the position of executive officer of the state board of health, some handsome recognition or memorial. Dr. Holton's work has been humanltnrlan In the broadest sense. He was one of the pioneers In taking' up the great subject of public health, and he has. labored for the Interests of the state with zeal and efficiency through a long term of years. The value of his work can never be measured, but we would quickly have an appreciation of It If we abandoned tho safeguards now employed and returned to the hap-hazard system or lack of sys tem In vogue years ago. The enormous volume of business which tho country Is transacting Is In dicated by tho bank clea'rings, which broke all records for the season last week and wcro the largest In any week since December, 1909, The increase com pared with the corresponding week a year ago was 23 per cent. A labor scarcity Is reported In parts of the country and the shortage of freight cars Is becoming of formidable size. The' fortnightly bulletin of the. American Railway association published Saturday shows a net shortage of 17,793 cars In, the United States and Canada on Sept. 26, which compares with the surplus of 60,000 cars a year ago. The net shortage, which Is Increasing dally, Is the largest since November, 1907. In other words, the railroads are handling the heaviest volume of traffic In nearly five years. Optimism prevails in all parts of the country. Retail trade Is brisk and Jobbers and wholesalers report freer buying for spring requirements. A novel use of a graphophone wan truulu by a vaudeville artist, who first sang Into the Instrument, then, using that record as a second voice she sang a duet with herself. The blending of the voices was naturally perfect. Did you know yiat the original name of the Jew'e-horp was "mouth-harn"? It originated In China, owl wus known In' Japan long before much was known of ttiut country'. It wus constructed of bamboo nine Inches long, so split as to form a, longitudinal section with jaws and tongue. It hud a handle five inches long. REBEKAH LODGE IN WARDSBORO. Mrs. Julius Wilbur Elected Noble Grand Odd Fellows Held District Meeting Poor Railroad Service. Three members of Dennis Rebekah lodge, attended the Institution of Colfax lodge, No. 71, In Wardsboro Tuesday afternoon. Fifteen members withdrew from Newfane lodge In order to foim tho . new one and the Inltatory degree was conferred on 66 candidates by the Re bekah lodge of Newfane. Mrs, Oiacc B. Richmond, president of the Rebekah as sembly, was In charge of the installa tion. The olllcers were elected and then were Installed by Mrs. Richmond, as sisted by Mrs. Stella E. Bailey of East Hardwlck, vice president of tho Rebek ah assembly, Mrs. Louise L.'Boyce of Barre, assembly secretary, and Mrs. Eva Hazen of (Windsor, past president of the assembly. The noble grand Is Mrs. Ju lius Wilbur. Those from here who at tended the meeting were District Dep uty Mrs. Delta iialgh, Mrs. Arthur G. Arcand and Mrs, Arthur L. Maynard. About 40 members of Wantastlquet lodge went by special train Tuesday pf-, ternoon to Wardsboro to attend the anr nual meeting of district No. 10, I, O. O. F., which was held that evening. The meeting was largely attended and the program was as follows: Lodge opened In form, Wardsboro lodge; Intro duction of grand officers; words of wel come, John E, Oleason, p. G.; response for district, F. E. Perry; response for grand lodge, E. L. Ingalls, D. O. M.; exemplification of the third degree on one candidate, Wantastlquet lodge; reports from lodges In districts; exemplification of unwritten work, O. II. Henderson, grand secretary; exemplification of ex amination of visitors from other juris dictions, O. H. Henderson and F. G. Nichols, grand master; remarks by grand officers and .visitors; banquet. Three hours was the running tlmo of the special train on which the members of Wantasthjuet lodge came Wednesday morning from Wardsboro station to Brat tleboro. The special ttraln left Wards boro af2.10 a. m., and at 5.10 pulled Into the station here. Forty Odd Fellows , have been telling their experiences on the 21-mile trip to their friends and Charles G. Staples, who had charge of the transportation arrangements, has written to the general passenger agent protesting against paying the amount charged. Tie train consisted of the en gine, tender anil two passenger coaciies, and the trouble was caused by the In efficiency of the engine. The first halt came at the "Salmon Hole" bridge. The engine could not make the grade near the bridge and the engineer backed about a mile In order to get a good stnrt. The third attempt was successful. The next cessation of pulling power occurred north of the Townshend station and after sev eral efforts the rear car was uncoupled and the engine managed to pull the lone coach Into Townshend and then went back for the rest of the train. Then a start was made for Brattleboro, but it was only after many quarts of sand had been poured over the rails at divers poines that the engine managed to get the pas sengers here. The train was not fitted with Pullman cars, and between sen tences the Odd Fellows who enjoyed (?) the experience gave way to yawns while telling the story yesterday. WINDHAM COUNTY COURT.
