NEWS AND CITIZEN, OCTOBER 8, 1913 and Citizen MORRISVILLE AND HYDEIPARK L. M. LEWIS, Editor and Manager Subscribe for this paper today. The NEWS AND CITIZEN begins a new volume, its thirty third, with this issue. Our health is very good, thank you.

The solidity of the work on the Panama Canal was thoroughly tested 1 by an earthquake last week. It was not affected in the least. A good many Republican newspapers ease their feelings with regard to the new tariff bill by calling President Wilson a "doctrinaire," which is a more polite of saying "schoolmaster." The new way tariff bill may be good or bad-time will tell- but the bill cannot be condemned by calling names, politically or otherwise. Plato and St. Paul were "doctrinaires," but it must be admitted that they have had, and still have, some influence in the world.

It is very amusing to hear this Charles H. Thompson of the "progressive" crew tell what the Republicans of Vermont fear. Mr. Thompson may know all about the politics of Vermont, what each party fears or desires, but we think that a great deal of his talk eminates from his own noddle The Republican party in this state is made up of thinking people, people who have the best interests of the state at heart. 'This has been so since the Republican party was born and the record of that party in this state is such that it has no fear of going before the people with it.

It has done so year after year and will continue along that line in the future. The party is not made up of fools or knaves, neither does it abound with thieves and cut-throats-as some of the like of this Thompson would have the people believe. Now and then a young man goes out from Vermont and he almost invariably makes good. A case in mind i is that of James Hooker, who went from Brattleboro a few years ago and is now one of the representative leading men of Schenectady, N. being connected with one of the leading industries of that place.

His good qualities have been recognized there and he is now the nominee of three parties for comptroller of that city. Mr. Hooker has a right to be identified with everything that points towards progress and advancement of his city, as his father, the late Col. Hooker, was a "live wire" in Brattleboro. While we are pleased to note the recognition of this young man's ability, we regret that he did not stay in Brattleboro.

It is the young men oft this sort that Vermont needs and can ill-afford to have go out of the state. Death of Maxwell Evarts Maxwell Evarts, general counsel of the Southern Pacific railroad and son of the late United States Senator Evarts of New York, died at his summer home in Windsor Tuesday. Mr. Evarts was born in New York City Nov. 15, 1852, and was a graduate of St.

Paul's school in Concord, N. and Yale University. He maintained his legal residence in Windsor and served as representative in the legislature in 1906. Mr. Evarts was the father of the Vermont State Fair at White River Junction and president of the association.

He has given liberally of his time and means for the advancement of the fair and had shown his interest in Vermont's development by numerous activities in recent years. Mr. Evarts had been ill several weeks but it was announced at the time the state fair was held that he was recovering. To Mend Hard Substances.

Scott's Emulsion will raise, your standard of health to correct catarrh. Shun alcoholic mixtures and insist on SCOTT'S 13-74 SCOTT BOWNE BLOOMFIEL DIE NY The New Tariff By attaching his signature to the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill last Friday the President gave force and effect to the promises and pledges of the Democratic party, and has put the fiscal system of the country on a solidly tariff for revenue basis. The new tariff bill makes possible the freer importation of foreign made goods, thus stimulating keener competition be tween our own manufacturers and foreign producers than was necessary under the Payne-Aldrich bill, which the Underwood measure supersedes. No less interesting is the imposition of the income tax which this bili carries as one of its provisions and which was made necessary by the abolition of import duties on various articles of commerce which curtailed customs revenue. The President rejoices over the outcome of the long battle for tariff revision.

He declares that it marks the half- way stage towards the complete realization of that "New Freedom" of which he has a vision. Whether the optimism of the President and his enthusiastic followers is justified time alone will tell. Since the days of Alexander Hamilton, free trade and protection have been alternately tried in this country. Indubitably, the republic prospered under the protective system which has long been the shibboleth of the Republican party and on which it won many victories. On the other hand, history will show that low tariffs have made the country sick and have invited disaster.

But this economic change may, as the President has suggested, bring about more business like methods and practices among our manufacturers; it may com. pel them to sharpen their wits" as Mr. Wilson has advised, and may move them to adopt expedients which will enable them to meet the sharp competition of foreign producers which now confronts them. Illness of Senator Lodge There will be general interest in the reports concerning the health of United States Senator Lodge; and this interest will be felt outside the bounds of the Senator's native state. There will be general satisfaction that these reports are favorable and a strong desire that he may soon resume his duties at Washington.

Henry Cabot Lodge has represented Massachusetts in the National Senate siuce 1893 and always with an ability and a dignlty which have been in accordance with the best traditions of the Bay state. Death of the Discoverer of Appendicitis Reginald Heber Fitz, M. of Boston, who died on Tuesday of last week, was practically the discoverer of appendicitis, and gave the disease ite name. Surgical treatment of the disorder began as a result of his article in the American fournal of Medical Science in 1886. Previous to that time patients died of "inflammation." Dr.

Fitz was the first to call attention to the seat of the trouble and the method of treatment. Dr. Fitz, who was 70 years old at death, was a native of Chelsea, and a graduate of Harvard University, class of '64. A Triumph in Aviation The longest over-water flight ever made was accomplished in the month just passed. Roland Garros made the jour ney through the air across the Mediter ranean sea; flying from Frauce into Africa, a distance of 558 miles, in a little over seven hours.

It is barely four years since Blenot's flight of a little more than twenty miles across the English Channel was hailed as a wonderful victory. At the present rate of advance, trans-Atlantic aviation will ere long be accomplished. Injustice to Vermont Banks (From the Randolph Herald) Whatever its merits, the Democratic currency bill which passed the house last week, has one feature which will not commend it to many people who stop to think. It provides that national banks having savings departments shall pay no taxes to the state in which they are located. This not only robs the states of much needed revenue, but gives the National banks such a decided advantage over the state savings institutionswhich are taxed on their deposits-asto threaten the latter seriously.

Vermont has both kinds of banks. At present it taxes both alike, but with the national banks exempt, as they will be under this currency bill, it will lose many thousands of dollars in taxes annually, while the national savings departments so favored will be able either to loan at lower rates than the state banks or to pay their depositors and stockholders better. With the added opportunity given national banks to loan on real estate security, also provided by this bill, our savings institutions face unfair and 111- equal competition. Rats Fought for Comrade. Rats defended a comrade at Hun- gerford, near London, England, on a recent night.

An engineer at the Hungerford outfall works of the London Sewage system struck a large rat when making his rounds. Immediately scores of rats appeared and attacked the man fiercely, tearing at his trougers. Taking to his heels, the man was pursued by the animals for several hundred yards.

Our Query and ReplyDepartment Is it true that Pope Pius name in English is Taylor? Pope Pius name is Giuseppe Sarto.

which in English corresponds to Joseph Taylor. What is the "initiative" as applied to the initiative, referendum and recall? The initiative in this sense has been defined as "the giving to the people the right of proposing legislation to be acted upon;" the referendum as "the referring of legislation to the people for final rejection or acceptance." The initiative gives the people the power to originate laws. If a certain percentage of the voters, say 10 per cent. sign a petition for a law and file it with the proper official it must come before the legislature and perhaps come before the people. Sometimes the law requires that legislation be referred to the people whether they petition it or not.

Can any one besides a postmaster or a sworn in I clerk deliver mail in a post office? If not, what is the penalty for such an offense and upon whom would it be inflicted? It is illegal for any one not "sworn in" to handle or deliver mail. and a postmaster found guilty of permitting it would lose his postmastership.

Under a recent act of congress, however, a postmaster, when extraordinary need arises, may swear in any one to serve him in any capacity even if it is only for a day. This makes it unnecessary for him to employ any one not sworn into the government service.
