on their business status. Following this
editorial write-up is a statement, some
what in detail, Dhat the authorities, IN
connection with a few charitable men
and women. were making extra prepara-
ton to supply the immediate wants OF
their poor. II they find it necessary to
make extra provision for the poor there
must be larger proportion of that class.
This points to the conclusion that there
is less employment for the working
class than there was year ago. If in
creased bank clearings multiplies the
number of paupers wouldn't it be well
to put check On the lightning calcu-
lator who makes up the daily report?

BANK cLEARINGs AND POVERTY

Kansas City, through her newspapers.
Is patting herself on the back over the
increase in clearings over last wear. The
Star talks of S2,000, 900 in enc dav as
representing only a small portion Of the
city's business, gratuitously informing
the public that great deal of the bust
ness transacted never shows up in the
clearings. II is well TO advise the pub
lie on this point. 1t fixes in the mind OF
the reader that when Smith buys a peck
of potatoes in market there Is no record
made Of it at the banks, and that when
Jones borrows 81 from Brown II Is
merely private transaction. If only
the public viii keep these minor trans
actions in mind in making mp the esti-
ruate of the business Of cur only great
city which is supported by water navI-
CATION without water, she will no. be
cheated Of her dues.

Two Old Militia Commissions.

There lies before us as we write two
documents that are heir-looms in de-
scendants of the Huntington family of
SALISBURY. Through the courtesy of
Judge Carney they have been loaned us
long enough to write this notice. Aside
from the character of the documents,
the Endorsements thereon will be Of pub
lie interest. These commissions were
issued to Jacob G.. Huntington. One is
that of a captains commission Sin the
Light Infantry Company of 1st Regi-
ment, first Brigade and Second Divis-
ion," dated at Montpelier, the Goth day
of April, 1922, signed by Richard Skin
ner, governor The other is a commits
sion as aforementioned in the same
Isregiment, brigade and division, dated
November 25th, 1928, and signed by Sam
uel G. Crafts, governor. The latter, al
so, has an honorable discharge endorsed
thereon. The captains commission has
the following oath of loyalty endorsed
on its back:
81 Jacob Huntington do solemnly
swear that 1 will be true and faithful to
the State of Vermont, and that 1 will
not, directly or indirectly, do any act or
thing prejadicial to the constitution or
government as established by conven-
ton. So help me God.
(Signed) Jacob G.. Huntington.
81 do also swear that 1 will support
the constitution of the United States.
(SigneD Jacob q. Huntington"
| This is subscribed and sworn to before
Samuel Cross, brigadier- General.
The oath of loyalty endorsed on the
lieutenant-colonel commission, is
sworn to before Henry Robinson, briga-
dier-general, and contains the words {:
$50 help me God" following the clause
to support the constitution of the
United States, as well as that of the
State of Vermont, or government as
established by convention"
The endorsement of the higher com
mission, adds a word that is quite sig
nifcant: ''or government established by
convention thereof" Suppose the State
had seeded in 1928, would not the con-
vention passing the act of separation
have taken the militia with themP

An Unnatural Alliance

A Saratoga, N. Y, despatch of the 9th
says: ga wedding celebrated in this
village recently has just come to light
and filled every one with disgust. The
wedding occurred in the African M. e.
Zion church. The bride was a white
woman, a beautiful blonde of 20, and the
bridegroom dusky son of Africa. At
the time the latter was well known, but
the identity of the bride was unknown.
Now it has come to light that the bride
is no other than Miss Jennie Mayo of
Middlesex, vt. She met her sable swain
while she was staying at Congress Hall
last summer where he was employed as a
porter. She ran away from home last
Wednesday and, joining the bridegroom
elect whose name was Strong, they APP
peared in the church and were married
as aforesaid by the Rev. P. II. Williams,
who supposed, he says, that they might
have met in the Bermudas. The
witnesses were all colored. The parents
of the bride are people of wealth and cul-
ture. They knew nothing of the unnat-
ural alliance and when told of it by a
newspaper correspondent were heart
broken with grief and shame"
