H U Republicans Would Place Taft and Sherman Announcements Oyer Closed Factory Doors. There was made poblio Tuesday a correspondence wherein John W. Kern, democratic- nominee for vioe president sought and obtained from D. M. Perry, ex-president of the national association of manufacturers and a prominent re publican, the expression of an opinion hostile to posting "prosperity pla cards" in factories, to the effect that "on the day after the election of Taft and Sherman this factory will start up in full force." Kern asked Perry "in the light of the fact that the present high tariff has not maintained prosperity, I would like to ask you whether posting these placards does not savor of trying to obtain money ander false pretenses?" Perry replied that be was not in sympathy with such abuse of power of au employer; that it was poor business policy to promise to run a factory on full time iu the event of any election, that business reaction was quite be yond the power of political parties to control; that be could not bring him self to post such placards despite bis republicanism, and bo deolares: "I have no sympathy with the state ment that Bryan is an enemy of in dustry than I do with the statement that Tatt is a creature of trusts" and he said that at a recent poll the man ufacturers associations of the country bad shown a majority of members in favor of a revision of the tariff. Enroute to Milton; Killed. Miltou Eagle: J. J. Hines, who lives ueqr Nichols' Park, was called to Spokane Wednesday of last week by the accidental death of his son at that place. John M. Hines, the victim of the aooident, witb his family, was on bis way to Milton to make bis home tbore, and was driving overland. He leaves a widow and live children, the youngest but six weeks old. Vermont Goes Republican. The republicans wou tbe elect iou in Vermont Tuesday carrying tbo state for lieutenant governor, George II. Prouty of New Port for governor by about 28,000 votes over Jas. E Burke of Bur lington, demooratio opponent.

The re publicans retained complete oontrol of the legislature and executive branches of tbe government of Vermont Wheat, $40 per Acre. Tbe Vanderbaye brothers, who have a big wheat ranch about six miles above Milton, bave harvested a fine ciop. From one field, says a Milton item, of 300 acres the yield averaged better than 50 bushels to the aore. Wbeat is selling at over 80 cents a bushel, and owing to the difference in cost of harvesting, the net proceeds will be larger than those of last year. Tbe gross income from the wbeat land farmed by tbe Vanderhayes is over f 10 an aore. 101 MAY GO DRY FOR SURE Anomaly of the Present "Prohibition" - Law Is Reviewed. "Iowa cauted, decanted and recant ed" is tbe way tbe working of prohi bition iu that state is summed op in Appleton's magazine for September by Trumbull White, who has observed tbe working of tbe Iowa auti-liquor law for tbe past 20 years. According to bis conclusions tbe situation iu legard to liquor selling in Iowa is muob like that in referenoe to race-track gambling in New York be fore Governor Hngbes forced the anti- gambling aot through the legislature, Tbat is forbidden by the law of (be state, but is permitted by another law tbrongb the device of imposing a fine wbiob amounts to no more than license. This measure, wbiob 'is known iu Iowa as tbo mulct law, provides for tbe virtual suspension of tbe probibi tory statutes if tbe written oouseut of a majority of tbe legal voters in a oity or 65 per cent of tbe voters of a county is obtaiued. When this is done lioeuses may bo issued by the local authorities, tbe state lioense fee being $800, while tbe cities may charge additionally whatever they oboose. Under this system about one-fourth of tbe counties along tbe Mississippi and Missouri rivers in which the ma jority of tbe cities of tbe state are lo cated, bave legalized liquor selling, It is, therefore, erroneous to speak of Iowa as a probitition state for a large proportion of the population live iu communities where saloons are nl lowed to run openly and legally, al though tbo prohibition laws passed 25 years ago never bave been repealed, and in some of tbe rural counties are still euforoed.
