with such people. A man and woman have
been operating extensively in Vermont
lately, and last week caught large num-
Der of suckers in St. Jchnsbury. He
made no false representations, and did
exactly as he agreed. He was there to
get money, and everybody above the age
of five years should have known it. But
the crowd tried to beat him at bis own
game and of course got left. Then they
squealed and should have been spanked
and put to bed. The writer does not be-
lieve in the protection of grown men from
the wiles OF such characters. If man
wants to invest in wheel of fortune, or a
three-ball game, or pool on races or a
gold brick, let him do it. The experience
will do him good. The law and its pre-
servers should not rescue the people from
this sort of thing against their will. They
try to swindle somebody else and get
something for nothing, and usually come
to grief. Let them stay there and keep
quiet about it. Last week we'll known
Burlington dentist dropped 1925 in a
wheel game at Howard Park. He knew
better, but he tried to beat and swindle
the man that ran the game. He lost his
money, made row and advertised his as
sinity and got his money back. He should
have lost it for keeps, and been ducked ir
the lake by the officers. Finally, confusion
to the coward and sneak who tries to cheat
and defraud somebody else and then kicks
and squeals when the tables are turned or
him. He is entitled to no sympathy MOI

The Picture Swindle.

1t is probably true that as long as there
are swindles and swindlers, there will be
plenty of people who are willing to be vic.
timized. The picture swindle is the latest
that has been worked in Bellows Falls.
During the last Of June and the first OF
July two smooth tongued fellows were reg
istered at the Commercial house, and spent
several weeks victimizing the people of this
village and North Walpole.
They represented that they were agents
for the "Queen's Magazine" published in
Concord, N. H., and for one dollar they
would give years subscription and throw
in te-sized portrait Of the subscriber.
All that the victim had to do was to pass
over the dollar and photograph: the sub
scription to the magazine would begin at
once and the portrait would be delivered
about July 20. The subscribers, however,
have not seen the magazine, and are still
waiting tor their portraits.
The fact that in some instances, at least
no copy OF the magazine was shown, goes
to show how easily some people can be
worked. So far as can be ascertained
there is no such magazine published either
in Concord or anywhere else. The agents
represented that they had taken over 6o(
subscriptions in Bellows Falls and Norti
Walpole; this being the case, inasmuci
as each party swindled had to furnish {
photograph of himself or herself, the
rogues have photographs enough to fit ou
good sized picture gallery.
d. E. Webster, the photographer, il
very wroth over the matter and has caus'
to be, for the swindlers represented IN soms
cases that the portraits were being finished
at his studio. Mr.. Webster has had sew
eral calls from parties who are anxious tt
know if their portraits are ready to deliver
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Webster hat
nothing to do with the matter. In fact h,
did not know what kind Of game was be
ing played until after the participants hat
pocketed their money and left for parts un
unknown.

Will they Gust President Crosby.

Some of the stockholders of the Brattle-
boro street railway company are still de-
termined to GUST E. G. Crosby from the
presidency at the next annual meeting,
August 8, and the work of canvassing for
proxies goes merrily on. The opposition
to Mr.. Crosby claim that it already con-
trolls the majority of the stock, while Mr..
Crosby's supporters claim that such is moi
the case. Charles Otis of Yonkers, n. Y,
who owns more stock in the road than any
other three men, is said to be on Mr.
Crosby's side, and an effort will be made
to have him appointed one Of the directors
thereby insuring his vote for Mr.. Crosby
While all this is going on, Mr.. Crosby
laughs and says he is perfectly willing t.
retire from the presidency if that is the
wish of the majority. 1t is evident that hi
has no fears on that score, however, fol
while the opposition has been active in get
ting pledges and proxies bis side has no
been asleep. But whichever side wins, the
meeting is likely to be full of interest
The reason assigned for the desire to GUS
Mr.. Crosby is that he has taken the whole
management Of the road into his owr
hands and that his management of it is in
adequate and detriment to the road
While there is no doubt that the manage
ment the past year can be improved upor
along certain lines, as Mr.. Crosby himsel
admits, experience is the best teacher, and
it is doubtful if there is another stock
holder in the road who would devote so mucl
time to looking alter the various details a.
has Mr.. Crosby. Argument is also made
against the retention of Superintendent
Carly, whom Mr.. Crosby upholds, as being
incompetent to manage number of men
So far as practical knowledge of the cleo
trical and mechanical part of business il
concerned Mr.. Carly is considered an ex
pert by all who are connected with the
road. Should Mr.. Crosby be removed
from the presidency it is probable that thu
road would be asked to pay him goot
round sum for the rental of the car barn al
West Brattleboro, which he owns, and also
to pay him for time spent and money paiC
out, for which no charge has been made
aud to remove their property from BIZ
land on Prospect hill, SO that the stock
holders will do well to think twice and ac
with deliberation. Springfield Republican

Get Done as They Try to do Others.

The following from Harris Weekly pub
lished in St. Johnsbury will apply aptly to
quite contingent in Bellows Falls and
vicinity. 1t is currently reported that
tramps, fakirs and swindlers consider this
an easy place to work, and little wonder,
when sharpers can take orders from women
for stone ware and get their money in ad-
vance, and get adollar for promise to de-
liver a life sized portrait. People who
deal with these fellows, excepting to get
S. for 81 and get taken in as is invariably
the case whether the goods are delivered
or not are deserving Of no sympathy. II

people learn to patronize local dealers with
whom they are acquainted and who have a
reputation to sustain, the better it will be
for them and the community in which the,
live.

TO obtain something for nothing, and thu.
same element is nuts and ice cream fo,

Beer Traffic at BrattlebOrO.

The Brattleboro correspondence of the
Springfield Sunday Republican says:
If there has been any occurrence last
week upon which, more than any other,
Brattleboro interest has been conferred it
was the raid on Wednesday by Sheriff Tut
tie of Keene and Deputy Sheriff Perry of
Walpole, N. H., upon the New Hamp-
shire brewery. which is situated upon the
island close to the old toll bridge, and just
out of the reach of the BrattleborO officers.
As is already we'll known the raid was in
stigated by the bailiffs of the village of
Brattleboro, and they are to be congratu-
lated and encouraged in the determined
stand which they have taken to stop an il
licit enterprise and to rid Brattleboro of
its baleful influence. The raid was the
first official act of the new board of bailiffs
in which the general welfare Of the whole
town was concerned and commentator of
it is general and sincere. The only wonder
is that the conclusion to adopt the course
now determined upon was not arrived at
long before this The position OF the New
Hampshire authorities has long been known,
and brewery influence has long been felt,
especially since the crusade of the states
attorney has, to a large extent, put an end
to the traffic in Brattleboro. and the reason
why some one did not take the matter in
hand months ago, when they knew that
the officers of the New Hampshire side of
the river stood ready to back them up in
their efforts, is not easy to explain. When
those in charge Of an illicit establishment
openly boast of the enormous profits OF
their business, when school-boys carry into
tn. school-room a portion OF the stock in
trade of an illicit concern, and when hun
