As 'coming events cast their shad.
ows before, it would look as tho we
were to be blessed with new State
Superintendent of Education. The
present incumbent OF that office is evil
IDENTIFY back number and the progress
of the times demands that a younger
man, a man of more recent experience
as a-teacher, shall be called to take his
place.
Mr.. Palmer is, however, candidate
for reelection, and there are also in
the field three other candidates. Senator
d. j. Foster of Burlington, Prof. NJ /.
$. Stone OF Westford and Rev. /. T..
Booth of Northfeld.
Senator Foster is open to the obiec-
ton that he has not, for several years,
been in direct contact with educational
matters as teacher, and this objection
would seem to make him unavailable
for the office. Prof Stone has the ad-
vantage of having taught for the past
few years with excellent success and
he has also been Supervisor of Orleans
County. He is man who would fill
very acceptably the position of state
superintendent and viii, undoubtedly,
make a strong fight. But il seems to
MS that Mr.. Booth possesses better
qualifications than either Senator Fos-
ter or Prof Stone. He has been, for
many years, identified with the educa-
tional interests of Vermont; he has
been town superintendent of schools in
Morrisville aud Mortified for many
years was for some time Professor Of
Latin and Greek in Norwich Universi-
ty; was Principa! of the Mortified
Graded School from 1879 and holds
that position at present 4; was County
Supervisor for Washington County
from 1881 and is now County Ex-
aminer for that county.
What the people of Vermont want is /
4 man who will not only hold the office
of State Superintendent but who viii
i'll that Office. He must be aman with I
broad views, of superior educational
qualifications and must combine with
hese great executive ability. In a
word, he must be'a man of progress.
lie must be man known outside his
'wn town or county. and in whom the
'eople have perfect confidence.
We would submit, therefore. that in
electinga man to fill the important of

ion, the Legislature will make no mis-
axe if they select for that position Rev.
saac P. Booth of Northfeld.

Among the names mentioned for the
STATE Superintendency of Education,
there is none better than that of Rev.
/. T. Booth Of Mortified. He is a
man who possesses superior qualifica-
tions for the position, man well and
favorably known, both as a man aud an
educator. He is neither ga briefess
barrister nor a churchless clergyman
nor yet useless person, whose con-
cepiions of the science of education are
as lucid as those of Sioux Indian re-
specting the theory of future proba-
ton. In selecting Rev. /. p. Booth
10 succeed Mr.. Palmer, the Legisla-
ture will make no mistake.

Legislative Notes.

II wonder how many of the senators
and representatives, who were so anx-
ious to adjourn to celebrate Columbus
Day, really did anything to observe
the day"
Thus spoke one of the members of
the Legislature to the Republican man.
Continuing in the same vein- he said,
"How many of those fellows, who
wanted to go home so badly to do their
duty and honor the discoverer of Ameri-
ca, do you suppose, would have voted
to appropriate $4,000 for the celebration
of the day"
"What they did amounts to Just
that"
"They don't seem to realize that
this session of the Legislature costs the
State about 81 200 a day, whether the
are doing business at Mont
pelier or celebrating Columbus Day at
their homes. st. Johnsbury Repub.

The provision OF the present law, that
any town unable to bear the expense of
rebuilding or repairing its roads may,
upon application to the presiding Judge
of the Supreme Court, have proportion
of the expense borne by the State, pro-
vided the proportion is approved by
commission, was intended to apply only
to the smaller towns but is really ap-
plicable to all, and an examination Of
the report Of the State Auditor and the
petitions recently presented show that
it is only question of few years,
when the annual cost to the State for
the improvement ofhighways will equal
the interest on four or five millions of
dollars. And it is hardly less true that
not dozen miles of the roads in the
State are the better for it.-St. Albans
Messenger.

What the Ladies' Keller society Has
Done In Charitable Deeds.

Inc summary of work of the Ladies'

Valley Mining company; five loads of
wood given by the Rock Island Fuel
company and Weyerhauser & Denkmann
mills. and about 80 bushels of potatoes
by the people of the city at Thanksgiving
time.
twill be seen from this report that the
approximate value of what has been Civ
en- through the medium of the society
this year is considerably more than $500.
Donations of clothing, shoes, groceries
and materials for use in the sewing school
from generous housekeepers and mer-
chants have been reported from month
to month, and the society wishes again
again to acknowledge the kindness of all
who have thus given support to its

TAMPERING WITH TIE MAIL,

Letters Received From Iowa by Rock
Island Firms Bear Evidences OF
Having Heen Opened
For some time past Louis Loeb & Co.,
the wholesale liquor dealers. have noticed
that their mail bore evidences of having
been tempered with, and on several oc-
casions drafts, checks and money or
ders and postal notes were found to be
missing. They reported it to Postmaster
Wells, and the matter is being looked
into. The most trouble is being expers
fenced in mail coming over the main line
OF the c., R. I. s. P. from Atlantic, Iowa,
and towns in that vicinity. 1t has been
thought by some to be the work of fanst-
les, but as number of the stolen checks
and drafts have been cashed it hardly
looks like it was being done to interfere
with the liquor traffic.
Other cases similar to those above
mentioned have been experienced by
other dealers in the city, and the matter
should have a thorough investigation.
