If Vermont's population shows a re
duction at the next census, we firmly
believe it will be due to the propensity
for west-side people to walk on the Rut
land railroad track. The way people are
being cut up over there is shocking also,

Barre loses three delegates to the Re
publican state convention because of re
duced vote for the Republican candidate
for eovernor in the 1910 election; and
' Montpelier suffers likewise. Inasmuch
as the entire loss in the state was near-
1 ly one hundred, Barre and Montpelier are
not such great sufferers after all.
In one unexpected way, the strike o
the waiters in the New York eating
places will do good; it is by causing
people to come down to plain fare in the
lesser known restaurants of the metrop
olis. Living within one's means will,
therefore, be made easier for thousands
who have been "going the pace" which
hits the pocketbook, although it may till
ihe stomach.
If PeBoer should be elected governor,
Vermont would have a hustling, wide

would not be largely devoted to grand

GODDARD THE WINNER.
"The announcement made by Juilgtt
Ernest VV. Gibson of this town, a dele
gate to the Republican national conven
tion at Chicago, that he will support
Gov. John A. Jlead of Vermont, also a
member of the delegation, for the vice
presidential nomination is taken to mean
that the governor seriously intends be
coming a candidate for the second place
on the national ticket."
If such should prove to be the case,
someone ought to take Governor Mead
in hand and give kindly advice. Doubt
less Gov. Mead would make as good an
official in that position as the average;
but his chances for securing it are so
remote as to make an effort in that
direction ridiculous. Any man from

can give it and when the best

Defeated People's Academy at Morris-
ville Saturday.
Over four hundrtd people gathered at
Morrisville Saturday afternoon to wit
ness the baseball game between the PeO'
pie's academy of Morrisville and Goddard
seminary. The game was by far the
best that has been seen in Lamoille coun
ty this season, the final score being 3 to 2
in the seminary's favor. Jt was practi
cally a pitcher's battle all through, with
Peterson, the Goddard hurler, having the
better end of the argument. He held
the Morrisville lads to six hits and
fanned nine. The only runsv against
him were scored in the opening round,
when a combination of three hits and
errors amounted to two runs. After that
he was invincible. Goddard was held
scoreless by Ward, the Lamoille county
pitcher, until their last turns at bat,
when they pounded out three earned
runs. Johnson led off with a double,
followed by Witt's three-bagger in the
ninth. Two more hits by Martin and
Merrill annexed the necessary runs for a
victory.

How Could Women Vote on Tuesday
Ironing Day?
In the June American Magazine, "Abe"
Martin, the Indiana funny character,
created and used by Kin Hubbard, the
well-known humorist, gives his views
and those of his neighbors on votes
for women. Following is an extract:
" 'Th' only real objection I kin see t'
women votin' is that our elections are
alius held on Tuesday ironin' day, oth
erwise I would be heartily fer it,' said
Tell Binkley, our leadin' tornado in
surance writer. Mr. Binkley is predis
posed t' bright colors an' has a tenor's
mustache an' reminds you o' th' boss
barber o' th' late seventies.
" 'Miss Mame Moon is our most bril
liant an' fearless suffragist. She has
strong square features, a fair-sized knot!
o red hair under moderate control, steel
gray eyes at no considerable distance
apart an' wears a four-in-land tie an'
side pockets. She would command at
tention even on circus day an' has long
galled under taxation without repersen
tation. Turnin' t' Constable Plum in
th' squire's office she said: "I've got jist
about as much use fer you an' th' law
as I have fer a croquet set, an' if I
ever pay any taxes without first knock
in' your head off I'll be in a trance."
"'Later in th' day Miss Moon paid
her respects t' men in general by declar
8s' 'em jist a lot o' stomachs an watch
efcains whose whole idea o' citizenship
wuz throwin' a round steak on th' table
three er four times a week er buyin'
a wife a clothes wringer. She said that
th' growing tendency mongst our girls
t' seek some lighter employment other
than marriage made her buoyant with
hope an courage.
" 'Mrs. Tilford Moots, who has con
tributed more sons t' reg'lar army than
any woman in th' world, an' who has
alius Wen closely affiliated with a cham
pion checker player, stopped plowin' long
enough t' say that, while she didn't take
no newspapers an' only knowed what
she heerd from th' hucksters, she'd alius
felt like ther wuz somethin' unequal.
She said she'd never found time t' look
int things an that her husband wuz
too busy defendin' his title t' be o'
much help.
"'However, she says If women git t'
votin' she'll vote with 'em that i. if
It's too wet t' plow an' she kin git off.'"
At Dreamland.
"Mrs. 'Knry 'Awkins" A cheery,
wholly commendable picture of coster
monger life in good comedy spirit which
pleased the audience very much. The
character portrayal of every one in
the cast is excellent j but that of Van
Dyke Brooke, the old, gouty father, is
very fine. Liza, the girl, is played
most charmingly by Miss Norma Tal-
mage. Her two lovers are a costermon
get' owner of a donkey cart (Mr. Cos
tcllo) and a pugilist (Mr. Morey). The
action is brisk and dramatic. It is
well photographed and makes a most
entertaining release. A very good pic
ture to brighten up a rainy day.
