Leon friends of Charley Hebener will
be pleased to learn that he was promptly
released from serious charge at Des
Moines last week. A young fellow
named Wells had given diamond ring
to girl, Miss Martha Zepter, and as it
was too large for her she gave it to Mr..
Hebener to keep tor her. While tend
ing to his horses Hebener lost the ring
out of his pocket, and then young Wells
had both Miss Zepter and Hebener
arrested for stealing the ring. On the
trial of the case before Judge Silvara,
numerous witnesses, including some Of
the most prominent citizens of Des
Moines testified as to the good character
of both Miss Zepter and Mr.. Hebener,
and it was shown that after Hebener
lost the ring he went with his attorney
to Wells and offered to pay for the ring,
but Wells refused the money and had
Hebener and the girl arrested. In dis.
charging the defendants Judge Silvara
took occasion to say there was not the
slightest evidence of any wrong doing
on the part of either NJ ISIS Zepter OF
Mr.. Hebener.

In remarks before the temperance COM
mittee the other evening Mr.. White, the
member from Woodstock, told the COM
mittee in an emphatic way, in substance,
"that while majority of the people of
Woodstock would favor a local option
law, they are unalterably opposed to the
open saloon" This is the position of
the people in very great number of the
towns of Vermont Thousands of the
strongest temperance people of the state
would have no objection to the sale of
liquors under rigidly restrictive license
law if the Introduction of open and legal
lied saloons could be avoided. The St.
Adams Messenger, a high-license paper,
first made the suggestion. Let US see
what the temperance committees DELHI
erations bring forth in this respect

The usual bill for creating a separate
insurance commission has made its ap-
pearance in the legislature. 1t starts off
with some prestige this time from the
fact that the last report of the insurance
commissioners (treasurer and secretary
of state) while stating that a separate
office was not necessary recommended
that the work be delegated to either the
secretary of state or state treasurer,
because more prompt and accurate at
tention to the details of the Office and
greater efficiency could be obtained
under the supervision of one head, says
the Mortified News. The COM
missioners also considered the amount
paid for services (Sl, 900 each) as IN
adequate compensation for the WORK

There has not been legislature in
twenty years that needed the following
advice from the Phoenix, as little as the
present one ITO be good legislator it
is not necessary for one to make lot of
speeches or to introduce numerous bills.
The work in the legislature is prolonged
and delayed, so that much is unfinished
when Thanksgiving week comes, by the
prevalence of the idea that man must
do something to make a record, thereby
squaring himself with his constituency.
They also serve who only stand and
wait, and it might be added that the
legislator also serves who keeps his
mouth shut unless he has something to
say"

In the several liquor license bills al
ready introduced in the legislature no
provisions have been made for bar in
the capitol building, says the Mortified
News. When it is remembered that
legislators at the national capital in
times past have licked foreign nations
and wiped them from the face of the
earth, after visit to the basement Of the
capitol building, it is well to call
attention thus early to what may be an
unintentional omission in the proposed
law makers.

"Some regulation ought to be enacted
whereby the state printing should be
done in the state. There are many print.

is just as true as preaching. The work
and stock are inferior to what the state
received when the work was done by
Vermont taxpayers, and all the state
has saved has been at the expense of
quality. Let Vermont taxpayers do this
work.
