"One word is too often profaned."
The news items concerning Vermont's
latest murder say that Bean and Root,
the principals in the case as reported
were in love" with the same woman,
the wife of their employer of the saw
mill. Love is the only word we have
for the purest and most unselfish affec-
ton the human heart knows-the very
essence of goodness and kindness
which the Bible calls God. Real love
never engendered hate or murder. A
human being lin love" may sacrifice
himself or his own happiness for the
object OF his affection, but never the
happiness of that object. Call the
murder the outcome of physical in
fatuation or animal passion, as 1t
doubtless was. Love could have had
no part in it.

Editor Parker of the Bradford Opin-
ion contributes a good word to the
editorial columns OF the last issue OF
that paper, in an interesting review of
the % years under its present man
agement. 1t is a cheerful and optimis-
tic view that he takes of his town and
its conditions at the end of this period
of labor. as well he may. The prin-
ciple which he adopted at the begin
ming of his newspaper career and
which he says he Is now sure is the
correct one. in large measure explains
his success. THAT principle was not
to use the columns OF the paper to
punish our personal enemies, to treat
everyone with impartiality, to omit all
tainted news, not to injure the feelings
of people by innuendos and insinua-
lions and to publish clean, up-to- date
paper"

Follow Law, Not Public Feeling
Randolph Herald and News. I

Randolph Herald and News.l
Courts are often averse to giving a
speedy trial to prisoners accused of
serious crimes because it is deemed
unfair to summon them to the bar
when public feeling is so excited as to
make 1t improbable that they would
receive Justice. But on the other
hand is 1t not possible, by long delay,
TO postpone trial until the public has
partially or wholly lost interest in the
matte! until the sense OF wrong is
dulled "A pity and sympathy come
to the n. IF the accused? Indeed, is
not T., on the case? And is there
not "A gra. danger OF a miscarriage
of justice at the end of a long judicial
inquiry when all the facts are cold and
the impulse wanting as when the Of
Tense is fresh In mind? 1t sometimes
seems as If the sole purpose of criminal
procedure were to afford the accused
every possible opportunity to escape.
The laudable desire to protect inno-
cence SO far overshadows the demand
of the injured for redress and of the
general public for security that the
whole system is bent and twisted in
that direction. 1t came thus. doubt
less, as a heritage from the times when
our ancestors, after centuries of OPP
preston at the hands of tyrants, whose
accusation was equivalent to DOOM
finally threw off the yoke and es-
tablished a new order under which, as
someone has facetiously said, no in
nocent, and but few guilty, ones ever
suffered. Punishment loses half its
purpoSe when long and needlesslv de-
ferred. The laws delays" we still
have in increasing measure, To them
are to be attributed much of the popH-
lar disgust and contempt felt for law
and those engaged in administering 1t.

Pension Commissioner Ware spoke
little piece to the clerks in his de-
partment the other day and doubtless
made quite a hit in it. He declared
that no more men should be loaded on
to that office because they couldn't
make living outside: that in future
promotions should be made from rec
ords on merit only and not because
this person might be the brother-in-
law of a governor or that the nephew
of senator and that the recommends
tons of outsiders would debar en-
ployes from advancement and in the
future mean dismissal. 1t looks as
though the pension force would have to
get on to its job in good earnest

The Middlebury Register calls for an

The Middlebury Register calls for an
amendment of the law against rape,
which makes the maximum penalty ten
years at hard labor in states prison. 1t
thinks the courts should have power
to make the penalty imprisonment for
life and in certain cases death. But
why not first try the effect of prompt
and certain enforcement of the present
law-such as was given in the recent
case of Edward Clark? There is no
use in making the penalty more heavy,
as long we cannot even carry out the
present one without delays and petit
lions for pardons. What we want
most is not more law but better exc
cution of it.

The removal of Fred A. Field of Rut-
land from the office of United States
marshal of Vermont is drastic and
shocks his peighbors, we are told, but
Attorney General Knox and President
Roosevelt have done the right thing.
Any officer who has a job TO attend to
ought to stick by it. None of us can
afford to have the standard placed any
lower that that, whether in public or
private business; and particularly is
this true of government work. Elk
Marshal Field will be of great service

Some of the opponents of everything
derstand that the important principle
of local option liquor law is that
such a law is superior to state pro-
hibitory law just because 1t is designed
to be adaptable to local conditions and
to be enforced by local authorities, The
disgraceful failure of the former law
was due to its failure to consider local
conditions in the least

when Rome succumbed to the teach

soon to take place and that these have
been alienated from Christ in a way

poor boy in the state He commenced
at the bottom of the ladder and did the
work that lay nearest to him, and has

his merits until today he is the head of
