NATIONAL DEFENSE \President Wilson lias come out squarely in favor of a policy of act- uate national defense, and he has the support of the majority of Ameri- can citizens in that. There may be, and undoubtedly there are, wide dif- ferences of opinion as to details, and as to the extent of the preparation that is necessary or advisable, hut or. the broad proposition of preparedness there are comparatively few who question the wisdom and necessity of action. The European war has shat- tered a good many beautiful theories on the subject of war and the way to avoid it. It has proved that pacific intent is no assurance against attack. It has shown that nations wholly un- prepared for and undesirous of war may be forced into it, and that, forc- ed in, they must inevitably pay the penalty of their unpreparedness. It is then not as a militarist, but as a sober patriot, facing the facts with- out fear or flinching-,'that the Presi- dent sounds the call for the nation to prepare to meet any emergency that may come, and i t is as sober, peace- loving Americans, determined that their beautiful country shall be also strong enough to put behind democ- racy the prestige of power and effi- ciency, that the country responds. One solemn fact that the pacifists studiously ignore in their outcry against adequate protection is that the United States at thismomen has controversies with the leading na- ions now in arms and is disliked by all of them. These controversies have been smoothed over for the present, but they may flame into fury again at any moment, and the inex- orable facts of history prove that national enmities are not to be extin- guished by the waving of an olive branch or invasion repelled by elo- quent platitudes on the duty of na- tions to love one another, It is in the same spirit of common sense that one carries insurance against fire though he doesn't expect his house to burn that the demand arises for adequate means of national defense. The American people do not want war, they do not expect war, they pray that war will not touch them, but with all their wishes and their expectations and their prayers, they are not going to be foolish enough to go unprepared to meet the worst that may befall them. CORONER PROBES DEATH OF GIRL Fatality at East Norfolk Accidental, Official Announces. Norfolk, Oct. 26.—Coroner W. C. Smith of Winthrop gave a verdict of accidental death after investigating the case of Miss Dorothy Chapman, IS, of East Norfolk, who was struck by an automobile after alighting from another machine. The young woman's funeral was held Sunday at the parent's home in East Norfolk. Miss Chapman, who was a daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Chapman, was killed at 10 o'clock Friday night by an auto driven by Arthur Taft of Norfolk. She had alighted in Main street from an auto owned by John Pelton of Norfolk, and was crossing the street to her home when the accident occurred. Taft was returning from Nonvood aBd did not see the girl un- til too late to stop the car. The fender on his machine struck 'Miss Chapman, and it is claimed her dress became caught in the wheel. The body was dragged about twenty feet before the car could be stopped. Pelton saw the auto coming and cried to Miss Chapman, but either she did not hear him or did not have time to get out of the way. Pelton started, for Norwood 'to secure Dr. S. P. Phelps, but the girl died a few minutes after being picked up. The young woman suffered injuries about the back and head. Taft is a resident of Norfolk, and umtil recently was proprietor of a pic- . ture theater. PLESSIS. Plessis, Oct. 26—Ross N. Hind came home Friday evening from Sy- racuse University, returning Sunday evening. Miss Amy Frost had a severe at- tack of appendicitis last week, re- quiring the services of a nurse. She is now convalescing. Joseph Tassay had a bad spell 'Monday morning. A sad fatality occurred at Lud- low, Vt., last week when Howard,the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank JjTprthrup, Was found in the barn with his neck broken, strangled to death, entangled in a rope 1 which he had evidently started to go up hand over hand, instead of going up the Stairs or ladder. His people were- formerly from this town, John B. George being his grandfather. Much Sympathy is felt for his parents and .the family in their loss. Down in Brownville an effort is being made to defeat Fred D. Mal- doon, the best supervisor the town has had in many years on the issue that he failed to have the new state road built through the town of Brownville from this city to Dexter rather than have it go on the south side of the river and through the towns of Watertown and Hounsfield. And in this effort false stories have been told, for no one could have done more than Mr. CVIaldoon did. Why, it is an actual fact that he sought the Democratic organization of the county and Fred E, Wood in an ef- fort to get it through his town but to them Commissioner Carlisle turn- ed a deaf ear for he believed that to eliminate the bad crossings was the only thing to be done and for this reason he decreed that it should go on the south side, rather than on the north side, and there it went. It is expected that as soon as Mr. Carlisle hoars what issue is being made made against Mr. Maldoon that he will issue a statement lifting any re- sponsibility from the shoulders of the popular supervisor that those op- posing him may see fit to cast on him. No stone was left unturned by Mr. Muldoen in his effort to get the road on the Brownville side. * * * It would look as though more out- side help had been summoned by the Isham-Gragg crowd in Rodman to carry through the lmndpicked ticket, and to help defeat William E. Sill, candidate on the Democratic ticket for supervisor. The latest advent seems to have been \Freddie\ Jones of Henderson. \Freddie\ was gotten in to help aid in the publicity fight. At any rate iMr. Isliam, who put up the notices of the caucus, got him to go with him. to the newspaper offices where he made a lengthy statement in which the most he said was that he had not changed the dates in the notices. He'let \Freddie\ break the ice when he went into at least one office with his statement. \Freddie\ is a good fellow, who two years ago was going into the Republican cau- cus down in his town and was going to clean up \Will\ Mather, picked by some of the Republican bosses for the assembly to succeed 'Machold. Well, he didn't cut much of a figure on that occasion but there was a lot of wind. In the meantime the Re- publicans of Rodman are thinking a lot and say they are willing to accept what has proved good without trying any experiment and for this reason they propose to vote for Sill for su- pervisor and Leon Cornell for town superintendent. Many of them are being buttonholed by thelsham-Gragg crowd and some of them speak plain- ly when 'they tell those who approach them, that there is nothing doing. * m n \Ed' Phillips is plugging away hard up in Champion and he finds more support than ho did two years ago and largely because of the effort on the part of his opponent or some of those backing him t o belittle him by saying that he did not know enough to b e supervisor and he could not do the work if it was not for his wife. Well, \Ed\ thinks enough of his wife so that he is not going to be- little her or anything that she may have done in tht way of helping him. He appreciates his wife and if those who started the despicable story thought he Would deny that his wife was of assistance to him they barked up the wrong tree. If the women could vote they would vote for Mr. Phillips, but seeing that they can't this vear they are insisting that their husbands do, for they do not want to see any man's wife belittled in the political game. * * * Clarence E. McEvoy is making a good fight down in Hounsfield and he will surprise some of the \boys.\ This is Clarence's first attempt at running for office. His opponent is an old timpr at it. He came to Sach- ets Harbor a Democrat but that party never handed him any offices and for years he has been a Republi. can and has had numerous offices, being president of the village at this time. He wanted to succeed the late James A. Wilson as postmaster but the Republicans down there insisted that the office should go to his daugh- ter and to her it went. But he's had some kind of an office most of the time since and wants to hang on to one. * * * Up in Leray \Smoke\ Wood and his boys are grasping at the last straw to beat \Mat\ Parkinson. And all they have got is the statement of someone that Mr. Parkinson said that if he was appointed supervisor he would not be a candidate. It Mr. Parkinson ever made the statement all of the board with the exception of one released him and this one just laughed when Mr. Parkinson- saw that he could not get out of run- ning, much as h e regretted to enter a contest. That's a mighty slim issue to try to defeat a man on. It will not matter much for Mr. Parkinson is not the one to be defeated. The Republicans over in Evans Mills where their candidate lives are try- ing to get the voters in that district lined up against the Black River dis- trict in an effort to win the super- visor ship through that method but the Democrats see the point and they will Vote for Mr. Parkinson almost to a man. Bet that \Smoke\ Wood is madder than ever to think those naughty Republicans appointed Mr. Parkinson. Too bad he was down in Albany when it happened. * * * We read in the Watertown Herald that Harold Naughton is to be mem- ber of assembly from the second dis- trict some time in the future, that the plum is going to> be given him for managing the campaign of Mr. Breen. That's fine for a young lad, but who gives this plum away? Time was when a few of the bosses could hand it to him but 'these are tlie days when the voters, if they enroll, all have an opportunity to express their choice. And then again, can you think back off hand to the time when the city hada representative in the assembly? * * * Iri Lyme the Kepublicans are play- ing much the same game as they are out ini Leray, trying to line up the two big districts, Chaumont and Three 'Mile Bay, up against each other, but incidentally have all the Republicans in^both district votTe the ticket straight. They might put this over on some men but the constitu- ents of John J. Barron are too well satisfied with his record on the board of supervisors to let it be done this year. The Democrats will vote straight and they will send Honest John Barrond back by a bigger ma- jority than he bad two years ago. The Pitkin-Tucker-Grow crowd al- ready see defeat staring them in the lace. They hare seen it too many times to fail to grasp the situation uv in Lorraine. Already Tucker has found that with one or two excep- tions all of the Democrats there have left his party and are going to vote Cor Shelmidine and the Republicans have thrown away their votes so many times at the command of \Uncle Lute\ that they, 'too, are dis- gusted and they want to be on the winning side. Of course they are sorry for the boy who is running against Shelmidine but they must blame him for getting into it. They know that Ora Shelmidine is the best man they can get for supervisor and they are asking • why they want to change. If Inspector Brigham gets as domineering on the election board as he has sometimes in the past there may be trouble ahead for him. * * * The Republican voters have look- ed over the- situation in Worth and they have found what John I. Lan- fear has been doing there in the way of getting roads for them, and that the story about his high tax rate is all bosh because he has done so many things that they have been waiting for for years. Some of these days they will be able to get out of Worth most anywhere without the wheels of their wagons going down out of sight. And when would they ever hadthis under the predecessor of iMr. Lanfear, they are asking. * * * Declaring the adoption of the pro- posed constitution would make the Governor of New York the most pow- erful autocrat north of Mexico, Blon R. Brown, majority leader- of the Senate, and one of the most influen- tial republicans up-State, recently made public the reason why he be- lieves it should be defeated. Mr. Brown says the neg constitution would strip the Legislature of its power and asserted that it is extrava- gant and experimental. He-stated that it was not a party measure, and the Republican State Committee had no commission from the party to bind it, MRS. LITTEBRANT, £ol, DEAD AT GOUVERNEUR Gouverneur, Oct. 26—Mrs. Eme- tine Littebrant, aged 101 years and 8 months, died yesterday morning at 8 o'clock at her home in Johnson St. She was one of the oldest residents of northern New York, Mrs. Littebran 1 was born in Canada.

Theresa, O'ot. 26.—What disposi- tion will be made of their winter milk is still an open question with the patrons delivering milk to tlie Pquglas cheese faotqry, located at Douglas Crossing. Hereolore the factory has -usually operated during the six summer months as a cheese factory and the remainder of the year as a milk shipping station. This year the ivmisual flow of milk, during the months of September and Octo- ber, has tended to cause a surplus in the New York city market, it is said., and the price has not had the upward tendencies that it usually has at this time of the year. iMr. 'McAulley, who owns and operates the milk sta- tion at Shurtleff's Crossing, has made patrons an offer for their win- ter milk, offering them six cents per hundred below the price he pays at Shurtleffs. At present Shurtleffs is leading other milk shipping stations in this soction with the price paid, paying ?1.70 per hundred. Theresa has been paying $1.5 0 and Orleans Four Cor- ners thf same. The price is said to be a little under that of a year ago. The patrons o£ Douglas will prob- ably decide within a day of two as to what course they will follow. It i s expected that most of the cheese fac- tories in this section, including the 10 or 12 that are operated by J. Vock and Som as Limbiirger cheese factories, will close Oct. 31, .and what milk is not sent to the milk stations will be made into butter up- on the farms or fed to calves. THERESA POLITICS QUIET DESPITE THE LIQUOR ISSUE Voters Not Sure of Meaning—Candi- dates Show Some Uneasiness, Too. Theresa, Oct. 26.—Local politicians the remarking uponvthe quietness of the pre-election atmosphere and are wondering if it forebodes a storm at the polls, or is occasioned hy lack of interest. Some of the candidates have been ont on quiet canvasses, but voters are not talking much. The north end of the 'town, a section twelve miles from the polling places here, is the ground that is the most canvassed in an effort to get the peo- ple out. The town is nearly evenly divided politically and this causes unrest among the candidates. It i s thought that before the week the senimemt may begin to express itself and ake a more crystallize form. The license ctuesion is t o be voted up- on at the election Tuesday and that, too, seems to have the quiet consid- eration of the voters, but little being being heard upon hesubject from then) on either .side. POTATO CROP PAYS HERE Theresa, Oct. 26.—One of the larg- est crops of potatoes that any farm in this section has produced in some time is now being harvested on the Myron Bent place, near Bentleys Corners, under the care of Mr. Whit\ ford. This place expects to produce 1,200 bushels. (Mr. Bent has found that the crop is a paying one. It i s stated that 75 cents is the price now to the grower At present the farm has 90 hogs and pigs and most of the feed during the suminer has been pasturage.

It contained a pool room and offices The Rule Block contained a harness store, which suf- fered to the extent of several hun- dred dollars. Two hundred firemen with buckets formed a brigade which worked her- oically to save the Taylor House and other buildings. The hotel caught several times, but was only, slightly damaged. The wind - pre- vented the flames spreading to the opposite side of the street. The BoJand 'Hotel, a bakery, gro- cery and two residences were in the block next to the burned district, and for a time they also appeared to be doomed. CONCURRENT RESOLUTION.
