State House of Correction.

The State House of Correction al
Rutland is doing nice little business
For the biennial period just closed
according to the official report. al
hand to-day. the number of commit.
ments was greater than ever before in
the history of the institution, with one
exception. 1t was 19l, and it has been
exceeded only in 1894, when the mum
Der was sos.
The net cost of the institution to
the state for the past two years was
"a, Jl9 In other words. convict labor
paid the freight within that much
OF the crimes which brought the in
mates of the House of Correction to
durance vile, liquor selling stands at
the head, 149 persons coming under
this category. Breach of the peace is
a close second with 142, and tramping
is third with 140-these out of total of
79l. Larceny comes next, 90. and in
toxication is fifth. with II victims. OF
the 19l patients, this good old county of
Chittenden furnished 211, or over one
quarter, and nearly as many as any two
counties combined We mention this,
not because we are proud of it, but be
cause it's part of the record
OF the 79l committed in the two
years, it was the second experience of
the kind of lie. the third of IL. the
fourth of 81, the fifth of 10. Then the
number dwindles down, until at the
foot of the list we find hoary vaga-
bond who has been committed % times.
Twenty eight times
Now what is the sense of such an
" endless chain" as this: This vaga-
bonds life outside the institution is
menace to society-a source of demon
distinct injury to the pub
lie. The money cost of his crime,
trial and commitment, paid by the
hard working, law-respecting portion
of the community, is a great, burden
some and useless expenditure.
Such scamps ought to be kept under
lifelong restraint.
1t would be better for them and bet
ter for society: and. inasmuch as there
would be enforced celibacy, it would
be better for the coming generations
for they would be saddled with no her /
ltage of sin and disease.
One of these days we will regulate I
our criminal system on these lines. -

Another Aeronaut Killed in Testing His Bal.

DE Bradsky, the aeronaut, and /
companion named NORM, were instant
1 ly killed near Paris Monday morning
! while making a trial trip in his new
| dirigible balloon. The airship started
/ from the same shed at Paris as did Sc
vero's Inflated balloon. After pre-.
/ liminary manoeuyre with the rope at
/ tachment De Bradsky released the bal
/ loon and proceeded southwark at the
( height of 300 or 400 feet. the balloon
gradually mounting higher and higher
until it disappeared in the clouds.
When the balloon was above Stains,
near st. Denis, ten minutes later. the
rope attaching the car to the balloon
broke from some unknown cause and
the car with its occupants was dashed
to the ground and the aeronauts met
instantaneous death. The balloon it.
self disappeared in the clouds A
special from Paris Saturday described
the De Bradsky balloon as follows /:
at is egg shaped, 10 feet long and
20 feet in diameter at the thickest
part. A light wooden framework run
ming around the balloon supports a car
on steel wires. The car, constructed
of hollow steel tubes. is % feet long
and weighs. with a 16-horse power mo-
tor, |, 400 pounds. The propeller is II
feet in diameter and can make $50 rev.
olutions minute. This airship is
built on an entirely new theory. With
its two aeronauts it displaces its own
weight of air. - Aeronauts predicted
another catastrophe fearing that the
failure of the motor would cause it TO
fall rapidly but De Bradsl1y was conf
dent of success. NJ De Bradsky was
a Hungarian baron. SO years old. rich
and clever and had been in the diplo-
matte service. He made his first as

BRATTLEBoRo, FRIDAY, OCTOBER II, 1905
What Is the Usel

The plainly expressed will of the
majority of the people of this state Is
for high-license local option law
with referendum. So strongly was
this will expressed last fall that the
Republican party in its platform
pledged itself to give the people a
chance to vote on such law. Now
why are all these prohibitory meas
ures and petitions in favor of the re-
tention of prohibitory laws being
brought forward? Should the legisla-
ture be asked to vote contrary to the
will of the majority of the people, and
to break the pledge of the party which
dominates it? And will it do any
good to ask it to do so, anyway?
In commenting this week on the va
rious temperance measures that have
been introduced into the legislature
during this session, the state press is
unanimous in declaring an overwhelm-
ing sentiment against the retention of
prohibition. The Barre Times, in re-
viewing the provisions of Judge Ross
bill which aims to remove the most OBJ
iectionable features of the present law
and provides state dispensary for the
sale of liquor as a beverage, con-
cludes:
It is hoped by this bill to save the
bulk of prohibition by throwing over
nf al,
ures. but it is too late. The over
whelming sentiment is that prohibition
in any form or disguise must 60 =
The great majority of the Republicans
in the legislature will be mindful of
the promise of the state convention
and will not now attempt to get around
the understanding that a licenselocal
option bill be passed with a referen-
dun attachment.
The ST. Adams Messenger in regard
to the same bill says:
1t is a singular thing that man of
the ripe experience and knowledge of
ex-Chief Judge Jonathan Ross should
appear to be so oblivious to public SEN
timent as to attempt at this late day to
secure the passage of liquor law that,
after all, merely amplities the present
agency system after eliminating other
Objectionable features from the prohlb-
itory law. Surely the venerable judge
must understand that the people have
pronounced against that pious old hum
bug of an agency system and are re-
solved to have change. Not only
that, but they have Enthusiastically indl-
Gated the kind of law that they want
to have submitted to them for their CON
sideration. 1t is high-license-local
option law, nothing more nor less. and
any compromising ofischemes to thwart
this declared will, by injecting little
Brown Sequard into the veins of prohi-
bition, will be loves labor lost.
The Woodstock Age observes that this
same bill preserves some very famil-
lar and necessarily inquisitorial feat
ures that have never been very popular
or effective anywhere.
The people don't want prohibition
any longer and they won't have it.
All these unwarranted protests and
struggles by its friends will be, indeed,
cloves labor lost The will of the
majority of the people rules.

Brattleboro is one of those towns
whose women, at least part of them,
have petitioned the legislature to be
allowed to vote in the referendum.
Certainly the granting of these re-
quests would be the shortest method
of temporarily disposing of the liquor
question to the satisfaction of these
women, yet it is equally certain that a
settlement by this method would not
be the judgment of the majority of
the people. There are far too many
men who lay aside their judgment on
such a question to say nothing of the
women who would do so. The ques
ton is not one for the w. c. I. U. to
settle. 1t should be decided by I'M
biased minds.
