The proposition 10 admit New Mexico as
a state or the Union continues to meet with
pretty general opposition. The Chicago
Tribune says of the people that they are not
6nterprising or progressive; they are not
educated, For do they seek to be educated;
they have no personal, political or CONNER
cial ambition; they are content TO live In
their simplicity, Ignorance and poverty; and
10 erect them into a state would be as great
a burlesque on prOpriety as it would be
ineomprehensiDlet TO the people themselves.
Besides this, 1t may be said that the census
OF ls1O shows that out of total population
OF 50, rs there were A, s36 persons VINO could
Lot read, and 81 30 who could not write.
The accession OF such a territory to full Sis
teThoOd in the Union would reflect no credit
on the latter. The House of Representatives
should give the bill for the admission of that
territory more careful consideration than IL
received in the Senate.

Every law abiding citizen will approve the
most stringent measures that eau be IegGRg
iaken to put stop TO the depredatIols OF the
tuleyes who infest our city, and who have
lately become holder, In several case even
CEdangeTing human life by their violence
where il was necessary to carry out their
nefariOus designs. But the policemen are
not 70 be jurors, judges, and executloners,
and the shooting at two suspicious charac-
ters" BY squad ofpOlicemen last night, and
The serious wOunding of one of the men
which may result in his death is inexcusa-
Die. The man who was shot may have been
doing no wrong; he may have thought the
men who tried 10 stop him were suspicious
characters" This may or may not have
been the case, but at any rate. while the
shooting OF a burglar caught in the act
would be justified by public sentiment, the
shooting OF men merely because of a police
mems suspicious is too numerous a prac-
tice TO be tolerated, apart from the danger in
this promscuous firing OF sometimes hitting
some person who was not shot ct, but hap
Pened TO be in the way of the ball.

There is good deal OF talk ABOUT the bad
air OF the House hall, and various causes are
assigned for 1t, the main one being the
crowd OF filthy loafers that infest the public
galleries. As the evil is apparently more
felt this session than ever before 1t is proba-
bic that there may be something wrong in
the ventilating apparatus. The engineers"
who attend TO this machinery this session
are political appointees who, IL is stated
know nothing whatever about running an
engine, While there is no doubt that the
presence OF the crowd OF filthy tramps in the
galleries tends 10 make a fetid unhealthy
atmosphere In the chamber, IL is possible
that the failure OF the ventilating machinery
10 do Its work properly serves TO retain that
foul air in the room TO poison the members,
End all whose duties oblige them TO remain
there.

Now is the time for predicting the failure
OF the coming peach crop. Reports from the
fruit growing regions of Delaware and Mary
land state that the recent cold weather has
seriously injured the peach trees. Doubtless
cold weather at this time when the trees are
nearly ready TO bloom does have an Injurious
effect on the crop, but experience proves that
thls injury is always greatly exaggerated.
The same kind of reports were circulated, it
may be remembered, last spring, and yet
last years crop was an unusually abundant
che.

add S. b. Pettenpil, of Rutland. The
question of the appointment of a gentle.
man to take charge OF the state headquar-
tiers al the exposition was discussed at
great length, and the committee finally
came TO The conclusion that the appointing
power rested with DR.. Goldsmith, state
commissioner. DR.. Goldsmith claimed that
he had appointed DIR. Patterson in ignor-
ance of the fact that the committee had
previously named Judge Millington, but
was willing to withdraw the appointment
If the committee wished, though he thought
1t inexpedient to do so. The committee
saw it in the same light and DR.. Patterson
will have charge of the Vermont headquar-
tiers. 1t was stated that the 5000 neces.
sary for furnishing and running the build
ing was nearly raised. Burlington Free

Death DR.. Eliakim Paul

We learn OF the death Of Eliakim Paul,
NJ. D., an old and well known physician,
which occurred at his residence in Middle
town, on Monday evening last, at the adj
vanced age of rs years. He has been dis
abled for several years end had retired
from practice, but the immediate cause Of
his death was paralysis.
Eiakim Paul was q son of Stephen Paul,
and was born in Wells, in 1900 When Il
boy, while at work on his fathers farm,
from an accident which befel him,
he was crippled for life, and for
that reason became a physician. He
studied medicine with DR.. David G. Nc.
| Lure and graduated from Castlctnn med
ical college in 1922 then under the presi-
dency OF Or. Joseph A. Gallup, and among
| the professors were Theodore Wood ward,
Selah Gridley and Amos Eaton. lie pur-
chased the practice of his former instruct
or, DR.. Mcclure, and from that time until
within few years has been in active prac-
tice and portion of the time the only ply
stefan in the town. He had wide repuia-
ton and extensive practice. For full
half century he miuistered to the sick and
distressed Of Middletown and vicinity.
Hundreds scattered through the lard, as
they learn of his death, will be carried
back in memory TO their earliest years, and
remember their early friend and physician
| with pleasure and esteem.
DR.. Paul, in the town Of his residence,
has welded wide influence in social and
| political affairs. He represented Middle
town in the legislature for eight years, in
1929, 1880, 1881, 1886, 1887, 1899, 1910,
| lS4l. lie was town clerk for eight years
and town treasurer Tor twenty years, and
i held many other local Offices He was en-
| gagged in several memorable political con
tests, which form part of the history Of
| the town, and was generally successful
candidate. He was an experienced physi-
| clan, an influential citizen, and one whose
| departure, although for years laid aside
from active life, will be missed. He was a
great reader, and during his secluded years
from active participation in public affairs,
has kept himself fully posted.
He had oullived nearly all his family
He married Juna Coleman,a sister of Royal
Coleman, esq, who died several years ogo.
They had three children: Sabra r., wife
of Edwin Copeland, esq, who died in 1866;
Robert Emmett, who was educated at
Burr seminary at Manchester, and died be-
fore completing his studies in 1916 at the
age of 10 years Daniel Webster, Of St.
Louis, Missouri, who is the only survivor
of the family and who fastened from his
western home to kindly minister 10 his
venerable father in his last hours.
DR.. Paul had outliged oil his cotempor.
airy physicians except the venerable DIR.
Theopolus Clark, Of Tinmoulh, who sur
wives him at the aye of "a years, and who
probably the oldest physician in this
country.
