EDITORIAL NOTES.
Mrs. Malaprop wants to know who
this NJ. Bureau-Vanila is, anyway.
The only way to resume was TO re-
sumo. The only way to stop double
taxation is to stop it.
The mortgaged farmer has about all
he can do to pay taxes on what he
owns. Then think Of taxing him on
what be owes
The state asylum at Waterbury has
run out OF funds, but don't worry; the
insane will be cared Tor, and the state
will foot the bills,
Reciprocity has been read out OF
the Home Market club. Mckinley s
last great speech must have fallen on
barren ground there.
Read Commissioner Thomas report
Of the deer slaughter, and be convinced
that steps should be taken to prevent
its recurrence another season.
Now that the Yale-Harvard football
game is out of the way, the public can
turn its attention to less weighty sub
iects, such as the Panama canal.
That experiment station bulletin on
how to measure saw logs is most
timely for the political candidates who
are busy on the woodpile just now.
Dowie forbids his people to kiss at

two lovers, moonlight night, both
willing-but the Restorer says nay.
Gov. Mccullough reiterates his OPP

doesn't wabble here, even if in the
minority.
Bro. Green Of the Rutland Herald is
touring the state "to study the work
ings of local option" lie says he
hasn't any Clement boom concealed
about his person.
That westfeld pauper was hired
kept by the town overseer for a dollar
and a halt a week. 1t is inconceivable
that the keeper would voluntarily cut
off such a munificent income by caus-
ing the pauper's death, as alleged.
We note that Bro. Husband, who
who has just harmonized his domestic
state with his name, married a gradu-
ate OF a cooking school. Wen, the
heart is next-door neighbor to the
stomach and not more necessary to
health and happiness.
This comes pretty near being a free
country when such an unmitigated
nuisance as Carrie Nation is allowed
to disport herself, and even to storm
the White House and interrupt the
Senate at an expense OF only S2j,
which, any press agent would say, was
cheap advertising.
Pulling pupils tongue out by the
roots is the latest method of school
discipline for making faces at the
teacher, as practised in West Burke.
1t is probably effective, but we hope
it won't be generally introduced, else
we shall have to suspend our preju-
dice against lynching.
There is no need for a town to be SO

Gov. Mccullough and brought forth 4
pardon for John F. Kimball, convicted
bigamist, says that from his expert
ence as selectman the old town liquor
agency system was a great opportunity
for graft. Is Joe about to turn states
evidence on himself?
The opposition manifested by th,
state press to the proposal that tn,
legislature should be called together
in special session to vote an appro
priation for the 81. Louis Exposition
is sufficiently pronounced to indicat,
the result that would follow such an
ill-advised step. The whole subject
