AN editorial article in the WATCH
MAN of October 16, entitled " Errors of
Fact and Confusion of IDEAS" was
made the ground, by counsel for the
respondent, for motion of continu-
ance in the case of State v. j. W. Tit
comb, tried in Washington county
court last week. The contention was
that jurymen may have read the ar
ticle, and that, in consequence, fair
and impartial panel to try the case
could not be secured. Judge Thompson
denied the motion on the ground that,
though the article was published Oc-
tober 16, it did not appear that the re-
spondent had deemed it so prejudicial
as to bring it earlier to the attention
of the court, but added that newspaper
men ought to understand that when
criminal prosecution is pending in court
they have no business to try it in the
public press, and are liable to fine or
Imprisonment if they overstep the
bounds of propriety in meddling with
it." 1t seems proper, under the cir
cumstauces, to state that the article in
question was not trial in the public
press, or an attempt to 30 try the case
of the fish commissioners. There is
not line or word of the article that is
fairly open to that construction. 1t is
in evidence that much had been pub
lished in certain newspapers of the
state respecting the indictment of the
commissioners which was erroneous in
fact, misleading in character, and which
imputed unworthy motives to the Off
GERS of the law in Washington county
in bringing this indictment. That
these false and prejudicial statements
found credence was shown by the ar
ticle from the Bennington Banner, a
disinterested and right.minded news.
paper, which formed the text of the
WATCHMAN's article. This was only
one, but specimen, illustration of the
effect of the means that had been art
fully employed to exploit the case of
the fish commissioners. Against these
false and misleading statements the
WATCHMAN presented the real facts
and gave the reasons why the grand
jury indicted the commissioners. 1t
had not previously, and did not there
off
would seem that the counsel for the
state had the greater reason to COM
plain of the influences that had been
employed through the press and other
powerful agencies to prejudice the case,
embarrass the prosecution and render
it nugatory. 1t will hardly be main
tanned that a newspaper may, without
criticism or liability to legal penalty,
deceive, mislead and poison public
opinion in the interest of a person
against whom legal prosecution is
pending, but that counter statement
of the truth, in another newspaper, may
disqualify juryman that reads it and
expose the editor to fine or imprison-
ment. The WATCHMAN maintains that
in the case in question it did not over
step the bounds of propriety; that it
simply performed the duty that any
newspaper faithful to the best interests
of a community owes to the people of
that community.

In their addresses to the jury, last
week, Lawyer Powell and Lawyer
Plumley felt constrained to apologize
for appearing in court to defend man
charged with violating the law regulat-
ing the sale of liquor in this state.
Why was an apology deemed neces-
sary? These men are attorneys-at-la v.
Their professional services are their
own. They may properly sell them for
money, or give them without money
and without price, as the merchant
would his merchandise; or they may
decline to sell or give their services on
any terms, all in their own free will.
In this respect the lawyer has the adj
vantage of the editor, unless theory
obtains that places the two on the same
level in the matter of rendering profess
sional service. But this theory is op-
posed to good morals, and the editors,
being moral and God-fearing men, do
not generally accept it's doctrine. A
"WJSit hN"O'SA3 may iOhuCI pIOlco-
sional service to the vilest offender
against the law without personal dis
honor or reproach. The most ultra
temperance advocate may defend a
breaker of the liquor law, of high or
low degree, without impeaching the
sincerity and honesty of his temper
ance principles, or without loss of
caste among honest temperance folks.
Why, then, should an attorney
apologize for defending person
charged with selling liquor contrary to
law? If he has conscientious scruples
in the matter, or feels that by appear.
ing as counsel for this class of offenders
he would do violence to his temperance
principles, or injury to great cause
or compromise his standing as con
sistent friend of temperance, it is hit

WE knew it would come. 1t was as
certain as the rising and setting of the
luminary of the universe. 1t was only
a ,uestion of time when some bloom.
ing idiot would rise up and exhibit his
mental stature. How high he towers
appears from the subjoined clipping:
"The Watchman's contention that the
holding Of biennial sessions instead of an.
nual sessions Of the legislature is not good
business policy is certainly true so far as
the Waterman, the hotels, boarding houses
and general trade OF Montpelier are con-
cerned, but with the remainder Of the state
the period of time now elapsing between
each affiiction is none too long"
The idiot is the Granite City Leader, a
leader not of local sentiment or opinion,
nor any other sentiment or opinion,
but sort of head fool. In that capac-
ity the Leader leads. The people are
all-powerful. When considerations af-
fecting the general trade of Mont
pelier, the clearinghouse, hotels or
newspapers become a stumbling
block to any reform they wish to adopt,
they should go down to some other
Jerusalem for their convocations,
whether these are sextennial, as the
intelligent contemporary advises, or
biennial, or annual, or semi-annual.

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-11-06

In his weekly letter to the Boston
Journal on Vermont affairs, Forbes
says it has been intimated that Mr..
Clement, who owns the controlling in,
terest in the Rutland Herald, is ambi-
tious to run for the governorship on
high-license platform, but whether as
an independent candidate or not rumor
fails to reveal" Forbes adds: There
will doubtless be an effort made next
year to elect as many high-license rep
resentatives as possible, with the view
of rolling up bigger vote against pro-
hibition in the legislature" These
tales appear periodically in print. To
credit them is to believe that Mr..
Clement has neither wisdom nor or
binary common sense. The man who
would strike out on the political waters
in Vermont on high-license platform
would set sail in bowl for England in
the season of wintry tempests.

THE Free Press, dear old soul, is
grieved at "some of the flippant COM
two other papers {" upon its scheme of
"reform at the top" These COM
ments, the venerable dame declares,
care unworthy of any journalist"
Her spirit is saddened by the fact that
the state press, outside of Burlington,
so far as it has expressed an opinion,
emphatically repudiates the attachment
of her top-heavy load to the car of re-
form, but as emphatically sustains the
proposition to re.elect faithful and cap
able legislators. Verify, the subject is
too serious for flippancy," and the
dame may be pardoned for her queru-

THE REWARD OF ENERGY.
Arkansas County Secures Many More
 Immigrants.

The good people of Arkansas county certainly deserve the success Ilthey are achieving in securing such a splendid, industrious, thriving class of ofimmigrants. This is being accom- plished by enterprise, push and en- orgy on the part of her people and they are justly entitled to the reward of their labors.
 This morning about l o'clock a special train consisting of fifteen cars and two coaches filled with immi- grants, their furniture. equipments and stock, arrived here over the Val ley route, en ronte to Stuttgart from Haspers, Iowa, and left soon after over the Cotton Belt for their destination.
 These people are all well-to-do. All of them have stock and money enough to purchase and equip their own little farms, and as they are an industrious, economical class, they are sure to prosper and succeed in their new homes, under the sunny skies of Arkansas.
 Improvements in the County Clerks office.
 Yesterday County Clerk Flanders and his efficient deputies were as busy as the fabled little ants placing the new fixtures for the vault that had just arrived. These fixtures are of the very latest and best designs and will be used in storing away the valuable papers recorded in the Clerks office. They cost the county in the vicinity of $i50, but they were certainly much needed and the emoney was well spent.

The GRAPHIC, we think, has sue eessfully demonstrated the fact thai it is capable of running a morning newspaper The morning venture has now been continued one month. We announced in the beginning that the enterprise would depend entirely upon the reception given and the patronage accorded the venture. We desire now to remind the public of that announcement, and to state, further, that unless the venture is sustained, the morning daily (the ex- pense of which is at least 2 per cent. greater than that of an afternoon paperl, will be discontinued.
 Last month many of our business men gave the GRAPHIC an advertise ment for the period of one month. several Of which have since been or deren out: and we desire to take this occasion to say that fl that is to be the policy of our business men. the GRAPHIC will return to the afternoon field.
