Away out in space is a cold so intense
that we fairly fail TO grasp its mean

the freezing point of water some phi
losophers think. are the dark recesses
beyond our atmosphere. And night and
day, summer and winter, this insati-
ate space Is robbing us of our heat and
fighting with demoniac power to re-
duce our globe to its own bitter chill.

The scene that was enacted in the
confusion of tongues at Babel-Mandeb
was recently repeated in the Supreme
Court of the United States when the
case of Jackson w. Giles VS.. the Beard
of Registrars of Montgomery county,
Alabama, was decided. Giles is a
colored man who was denied the privi-
lege of registering as voter, and the
case was brought to test the validity
of the Constitution on that question.
Relief was denied ON the ground that
the case was political, but the Judges
"agreedp as follows: Justice Holmes
written opinion was not made public,
but he made quite an extended state
ment from the bench, reciting at some
length Giles petition, i'll which Giles
claimed to speak not alone for himself,
but for 5000 other negro adults of
Montgomery county, who, he claimed,
would be tlisfranchised as a result of
the enforcement of the suffrage pro-
visions of the State Constitution of
1901. The case had been dismissed be-.
low for want of jurisdiction, but JUS
tice Holmes said minority of the
court were of the opinion that the Su-
preme Court should not confne itself
to- the question of jurisdiction, but
should consider the case on its merits.
He then announced that it would be
impossible to grant the relief asked.
He pointed out that, while Giles is
contending that the franchise system
of Alabama is fraud, he declares his
competency as voter undernit, and
closed by saying that it was beyond
the power of court of equity to grant
the petition.
Justice Harlan, in dissenting, said
that in his opinion the case should
have been dismissed for want of iuris-
diction alone, as was done in the Cir
cult Court, and he criticised the Courts
opinion, saying that it left the ques-
ton of jurisdiction in the air and that
he was not willing to be party to
such proceeding.
Justice Brewer delivered the other
dissenting opinion, in. which Justice
Brown concurred. They expressed
the opinion that the Circuit Court
should have been reversed and that it
should be directed to assume iurisdic-

TEMPERANCE Lesson.

If any further argument is needed to
establish the lasting injury Intoxicating
liquors inflcts upon all who use it to
excess, it can be found in the case of
Adelbert Martin, the outlaw for whom
the officers of three states are hunting
down. AS will be seen by the following
sketches he was born and reared under
the blghting shadow of rum.
Adelbert Martin, against whom an
Indictment has been found by the Wash
ington county grand jury for assault
upon Mortified lady, is son of James
Martin, of Calais, who died some years
ago from injuries sustained by falling
down stairs. Martin had spent the first
of the night in drinking and carousing
and in the morning is said to have
started upstairs with the evident inten-
ton of treating his boys when he fell
and sustained the injuries which caused
his death. James Martin made an hon
orable record as a soldier in the Civil
War, and had not his appetite for liquor
been too strong for him to overcome he
would have been a respected citizen.
However, he managed i'll one way and
another to secure the rum which made a
beast of him and the money which
should have been expended in educating
and clothing his children went into the
till of the rumseller Reared under
such conditions, is it any wonder that
Adelbert Martin has lot proved deslr-
able citizen? This is only one of many
similar instances. To place the criminal
in prison protects society for the time but
does not prove a remedy for the cause
In the opinion of the writer the people
of the state where such men are allowed
to make beasts of themselves year after
year are responsible to no small degree
for the resulting ills.-Barton Moni-
tor.
Every word the Monitor says is true,
and the writer of this could add as much
more along the same lines and not sc
outside the family of James Martin, III
fact the first drunkard we ever saw was
an uncle of Adelbert Martin. James
Martin never desired to quit drinking
liquor; in fact, he loved liquor as cat
loves cream, and a dozen courses of the
Kelley cure would not have effected his
reformation, as the editor of the Monitor
well knows Barre Telegram QicenseD

Vermonters PROSPEROUS.

The annual report of the State Inspec-
tor of Finance, f. S. Platt of Poultney
shows that there has been a gain of
1874 in the number of depositors in the
savings banks and trust companies in
Vermont, land the gain in deposits is over
two and one half million of dollars.
This is a showing of which any state
would have good reason to feel proud.
1t proves that the people of Vermont
as a whole are in a more prosperous
condition than ever before.
The following interesting facts are
condensed from the report:
The amount of deposits at close of
business, June 80, 1908, was S44, 62S, 49,
-, which is 50 $40, Col. 80 more than the
same institutions held June 30, 1902.
OF these deposits the % savings banks

pared with 1926. 81 June 30, 1902, an in
crease of average of 1914.
The average deposit to each resident
depositor was S316.40, which is S6.7S
more than the average June 80, 1909.
The average deposit to each non-resi-
dent June 80, 1908, was S445.55. which is
81 SO less than the average June 80, 1902;
4.4S2 depositors had each more than

Slate and Marble Industries in
Vermont

For number of years past the United
States Geological Survey has carried on
work in the slate and marble districts of
Vermont. Prof. 7. Nelson Dale, who
is in charge of this work for the Survey,
prepared very complete report on the
slate beds of Vermont and New York a
few years ago. This report was published
in the annual report of the Director of
the Survey, and proved to be of such
value and interest to quarrymen and
others that the edition was soon exhaust
ed 1t is probable that IA portion of this
report will be republshed early in 1904
as part of a report ON the slate industry
of the United States.
Investigations of the marble deposits
of Vermont have also been carried on
by the Survey, and Professor Dale is pre-
pairing a report ON this subject

License Statistics.

The Anti-Saoon league has sent out
the following statistics:
Fair Haven gets as her half of the
town license fees 81 $50 and pays out
for extra police protection, 81, 200.
Middlebury receives $1,2l0 and pays
out 1928 for additional police protection.
Middlebury's license commissioners will
cost her about $500 more.
Vergennes receives $40 revenue and
pays out at present rate SITE for extra
police force.
Ludlow receives as her half of license
revenues $3.50 and has engaged police
man whom she pays $72S year.
Immense revenue
In Burlington in one month Al men
took their alternative sentence of ten
days in jail
In st. Adams in three months II men
took their alternative sentence of ten
days in Jail.
In Montpelier in three months Sc men
took ten days in Jail.
This means 1910 days board bill at 50
cents day. State must pay for board
ing DRINKS; i. e.. 81 ,035. At this rate
the state will pay for board bill for these
three cities alone 50, $40. These bills will
add up much more rapidly as the second
offences come in.
Whence the revenue to the state?
The Montpelier journal says:
"A gentleman competent to Judge and
familiar with enough of the data to
justify his judgment, says that some
500 is spent each weekday for drink in
this city. That would mean an eXpend-
iture of about S2ls, 402 year; nearly as
much as Montpelier contributed to the
building of the Montpelier and Wells
River railway, and enough, in not so
many years, to build the proposed rail-
way to Rutland, or, in about six months,
to erect the new city hall. Food for
reflection and material for moraliz-
ing"
well known German doctor, in one
of Vermonts cities, bore, the following
testimony of the liquor traffic under
license: Last year could collect $3.50 a
month. This year l cannot collect $50.
1t is all going for whiskey." This bids
fair to be the common verdict of physi-
clans, merchants, landlords and tax
collectors, as saloons continue to extract
the money from the pockets of the
average men who drink. How long
shall it continue!

a Serious Problem.

Barre certainly has a grave social and
political problem on her hands in the
presence of such numbers of foreign
quarrymen. 1t is doubtless true enough
that the greater part of them are intelli-
gent, law-abiding people, but it is also
true that certain dangerous element
among them is altogether too numerous.
The most hopelessly un-American doc
trines are propagated by this element
which appears to grow holder and holder
every year. And the irony of the situa-
ton is that Franklin county was de-
prived of her third senatorship which
was given to Washington county be-
cause of this growth in population in
Barre. 1t amounts to the transfer of the
majority voice in the government from
the native to the alien. OF course, the
situation is not alarming, but the in
stance is noteworthy as illustrating one
of the strange possibilities under our pc
culiar system of government. Barre
officials and public men must carry
level heads for, unless the signs are mis-
leading, their troubles with the people
have only begun.-St. Adams Messen-
ger.

Duty of Citizens.

The Burlington Free Press thus ex-
patiates upon its municipal government:
81. Adams has 1.-THE Blocks" Barre has its
Anarchis 5, and Burlington, well we have a
municipal government on our hands as well
as at our pockets and in our nostrils.
While the Queen City is to be pitied
for the condition its city government
is now in, isn't it well to remember that
affairs would not have been in that
chaotic state had there been a little
attention given to the municipal election
last spring; Indifference on the part of
many is. the pay the city now has for
this neglect The lesson is dearly paid
for, but may, after all, result in good
Morrisville News and Citizen.
There are many other towns and vii
lagos to which this applies with equal
force. There is a growing disposition
on the part of many of the best business
men of the state to neglect their political
duties. They say they have no time to
give to public affairs and do not care to
mix in the too often dirty political
fights.
1t is true there is little to attract these
men in municipal and town politics, but
it is their plain duty as citizens to par
ticipate in every town and village meet
ing and do their best that wise policies
be adopted and that the best men are
chosen to fill the offices.
Until business men, and the solid,
reliable citizens do take part in every
local election the present conditions will
not improve; ON the contrary, they will
steadily grow worse. We can never
