Albert M. Mullen was convicted

Nov. 5, and fined five dollars and
costs by Justice Ira Walker, upon
failure to pay which he was taken to
Bennington Jail by constable, Walter
Hunt. He was defended by G.. X.
Davis, the trial was by jury and last.
ed until after midnight. Lawyer
Cudworth conducted the prosecution
to the evident discontinue of the wit
nesses of the defense. Mullen dis
closed upon the Londonderry town
agent, Mr.. Stowell, as the place
where he obtained his liquor. Al
great many Peru people are surprised
that person of his known character
could there obtain liquors, especially
when it is known that we have an
agency here; and it remains to be
seen whether the Londonderry offici-
ais will take proper action in the case.
We would thank your East Dorset
correspondent to be little more ex.
act In his facts and not quite so ready |
to cast slurs upon old Peru. The
chap who stole Shellar's belt and
saw was not from Peru and never
lived here. A Peruvian would have
taken engine and all but it would
1ave been by purchase.

The Hand for Me-

The hand that lends enchantment to
The harp-strings may be fair;
The hand that woos the sweet guitar
And makes the music there
May be slender one and soft.
And beautiful to see,
But the hand that rolls the doughnuts is
The little hand for me!
The hand that is ablaze with gems
May be the hand for you
FOR some one else the hand that sweeps
The ivory keys may do;
Inc hand that goes with millions oft
Is beautiful to see,
But the hand that rolls the doughnuts is
The little hand for mel
MY Bessie's arms are soft and round
And she is plump and fair:
Sne's been away to cooking school
And learned some wonders there
on. others hands may be as small
And beautiful to see,
But the hand that rolls the doughnuts In
The little hand for me!

teach most emphatically that faith is
not mere opinion about Christ, or
mere opinion about anything.
They teach that to believe on Christ
is to take him for our teacher and to
do whatsoever he commands us.
From the days of St. James and st.
Paul the church has been affirming
and repeating and emphasizing the
truth that, "Faith if it hath not
works is dead" and that though a
man have the gift of prophecy and
understand all mysteries and all
Knowledge and though he have all
faith, SO that he can remove mount
aims yet is he nothing if he have not
charity. Faith is not substitute for
charity or for morality, for it implies
and produces them both. If there
fore a man affirm that the evangeI-
cal Church teaches that a mans sal
walton depends upon his holding cor.
rect opinions on theological subjects
he shows that he is either ignorant or
untruthful, and Mr.. Mills may
choose either horn of the dilemma.

THE medical bill which was champion
ed by Dr. Clason has been signed by
Gov. Scofeld and is now law. Efforts
for q law of this kind have been
made at every session OF the legislature
for years, but always without success
The law seems TO have merit so far MS IL
layman can judge, but the bills intro
duced on the measure always met with
defeat. Senator Rankin always fought
the bill in his quiet but effective way
To the query OF the editor of The Plot
as to why he did so his ans yer always
was: II don't know blank thing about
it and don't care, except that Spearman
is opposed to it and / want to help the
old man out" He always did. 1t seems
that Charley Pfster took tia same view
of the situation Rankin did but not vita
similar results
The law seems TO be a proper one.
There may be possibility of hardship
resulting In several cases because of its
enactment, but that Is true OF every law
no matter how desirable or beneficial in
general results.

The senate beat the Hall resolution
for an amendment to the state coustitu
tlon prohibiting the acceptance OF passes
by public officials. The vote was II to
Ii against the resolution. The agitation
has not been frultless, however, as 1t has
called attention 10 what has grown into
the dimensions Of an evil.
The most desirable way to abolish the
pass evil Is to create such sentiment
against it that public officials will not
dare to run counter to it. After all, a
constitutional provision against accept.
ance OF passes by public officers is hu.
milatlng admission OF the inability of
the people to impress lessons OF off
cial proprlety upon the persons they
select as servants Of the public. If the
acceptance OF pass Is construed as
an act of official delinquency and pun
lshment PILLOWS, when the people have
the opportunity of administering it, the
evil will be more effectually extirpated
than would be possible by constitutional
inhibition.
The constitution should deal only with
fundamentals and to use an instrument
OF such momentous character to check a
petty evil is TO lessen respect for 1t. 1t
is an exceedingly bad way IN which to do
very desirable thing. There is a better
way, an easier and one mora consonant
with the dignity Of the commonwealth
Ii the people are anxious to check this
evil 1T can be done In tiice. If public
sentiment declares it dishonest for Off
cials to take passes, the Bennett law was
never greater bugaboo to fright the office
seeker than the pass will be.

mors OF war, bad news of winter wheat
and delay in sowing we're the causes.

badly damaged and prospects are dis

The Evening Wisconsin seems to have
gone into the worshiplng business and
speaks of Governor Scofield "wIeld1ng a
trenchant pen." He doesn't do anything
of the kind and what's the use of The
Wisconsin's getting into this disgusting
eycophantic business, which if it pleases
anyone pleases fool.-something Gov.
Scotield is not, if his record is test? But
why this slabbering because man does
his duty? The Wisconsin instead of abet
ung' should aid IN making this style of
Journalism unpopular. Gov. Scofield has
done fairly well so far, but he is not en-
titled to worship just yet. Give man
credit for what he does but don't make
him god because he exhibits fairly good
sense.

GLADSTONE very succlnctly states the
Illuminating position which England VOL
unfairly assumes on the Cretan Question
lie says the only right she exercises is 10
plead her opinions before tribunal If
two youthful despots, the emperors Of
Germany and Russia, who have IN no
wise earned the confidence of Europe.
This opinion is expressed in a letter to
the Macedonian leader. Nothing could
be more dangerous to Emperor William
than the general publication OF this let
ter. The German people are not in SYM
pathy with the policy OF the emperor ON
the Cretan matter. They are loyal peo,-
pie to their government and they are not
as quick to respond In acts to their sense
OF justice as other nationalit,es are. lint
when once the initiative is taken there is
no longer hesi'ancy or compromise. This
letter of Gladstone will stir their c,,.
science and there is danger to the younp
emperor in this. The despotism he is at.
tempting to rear may crumble IN day.
