The latest development in the Vet-
gennes bank wrecking case is the exon
Grafton of Vce-president M. F. Allen, so
far as any willul intent to despoil the
bank is concerned, and the conviction OF
I. W. Ketchum on two counts, followed
by his sentence to seven years mprlson-
ment. Mr.. Aliens friends will con
graduate him on getting out of the snari
as we'll as he has. The public, it is safe
to say, never had any idea that he was
guilty OF criminal wrong-doing in con-
nection with this unfortunate institu-
ton but his position illustrates the peril
that lies in wait for a bank officer who
pays little or no attention to the affairs
OF the bank. As to Ketchum, he has had
somewhat cheCkered career, He allowed
the cashier, as the evidence in the case
shows; and the jury required just eight
minutes time to decide that in thus per-
hitting another to use him he fully
merited the severity of the law. The
whole affair is most deplorable, and,
taken in connection with the preceding
episode Of similar nature, at Rutland
should point lesson long to be remem,
bered. The man who betrays financial
trust and misappropriates the funds
which Others confidently place in his care
has no excuse for his action, and mus
not complain when tie law puts it,
hands on him and locates him where ht
cannot carry on his nefarious business.
The Rutland Herald explains that i
was talking Of towns, and not popula
ton, when it said that ninety per cen
OF the towns through which the roat
runs would vote no license" and com
plains that the CALEDONIAN in comment
ing thereon, runs off on a matter q
population" Call it what you please
neighbor; the idea we had in mind wa
simply that the people, il given chance
would SIT down hard on license. We ST.
believe just that-whether the decisio
be given on a town or population bash
The Herald is sincere enough, no doub
in its advocacy Of high license law; bu
we do not believe the people Of the stat
or the towns Of the state, taken as
whole, are in favor Of that sort OF thinI

1t is a matter of regret to Vermonters
everywhere that Capt, Charles E. Clark,
the hero of the Oregon, has felt compelled
to decline the appointment of special

of King Edward. The reason given is
that the mission involves personal out
lay beyond his means. Rear Admiral
John c. Watson has been named i'll Cap

The State Laboratory OF Hygiene at
Burlington is doing an excellent work in
it's particular line, and dealing with from

This shows a misunderstanding OF the

out from time to time by the laboratory
have proved of great value in contests

in a trio of proverbs printed in the Tri-

bic to do so under our constitution.

Bijou this week. This piece has achieved
an enviable record, for it is one of the
most amusing and entertaining comedies
on an American theme ever written. In
New York, it was a substantial and in
stantaneous hit at the Garrick Theatre
and ran for months to crowded houses. 1t
tells an entertaining story of life in a lit
tie town in the western part of New
York and abounds in good, wholesome
fun and humorous incidents. From the

WHEN WOMAN CLUES.

The greatest attraction of the January
Club Social Day next Friday will, of
course, be the reception to Miss Mary
Mckeen, the New Jersey State Presi-
dent of the Federation of Women's
Clubs. The reception will be preceded
by literary and musical programme
ii charge Of the Literature Department
and will consist of a vocal solo, Cayatina
from Norma, by Miss Jessie Russell
Parker: paper, s'Some Women and
Their Influence by Mrs. Frederick A.
Hoar; violin solo by Miss Flora Witt
pen, Mrs r. G. Ryle at the piano, and
a recitation, "The Pianner Juetty MAR
thu Gielow) by Mrs. Gregory.
The new members to be received into
the Women's Club Friday are:--Mrs.
A. L. Clements. Jr., Mrs. Willis T..
Tuers, Mrs. Uriah f. Washburn, Mrs.
Josephus Plenty, Mrs. Edward Kirk
Mesick.
With the dawn of the New Year comes
the momentous question of nominating
new officers or the Women's Club. Al
though the annual election does not take
place till the first Thursday in March
the nominating slips must be sent out
within the next few days, that the pulse
Of the club may be taken in the matter.
Again, through its three year restriction,
the club is to lose some good officers.
Those whose three year limit expires in
March are.--The second vice-president,
Mrs. Brice Collard; the Federation secre-
fairy, Mrs. George w. Case; the treasur-
er, Mrs. Charles e. Browne; the chair
man of the Literature Department, Miss
Ada d. Fuller; and the chairman of the
Philanthropy department, Mrs. Ben X.
Curtis.
1t is not probable that any of the other
officers will be changed.
The nominating committee is composed
Of the following members Mrs. Henry
Harrison, chairman: Mrs. Alvoni r. Al
len. Mrs. Frank S. Pearson. Mrs. lisbon
B. Scott, and Mrs. George Tenant.
Although the number of department

..There is another idea which has been

Town Improvement departments have
been working along similar lines, and al
most the same people are Interested in
