Judge Seneca Haselton is showing a
commendable disposition to push along
county criminal cases and to make
possible the speedy trial and punish
ment of the offenders in those horrible
affairs. This is a course the neces-
sity of which the whole state recog-
nizes and which public sentiment I'M
doubtedly endorses.

NEW ENGLAND SONG,
Sung by Vermonters on the G. A. r
Excursion to California

y
Excursion to California.
Following is the old New England
song which the members of the G. A. R
excursion learned and adopted as a
Vermont song on their way to Sar
Francisco:
This is our own our native land.
Though poor and rough she be,
The home of many a noble soul
The birthplace of the free.
Wen love her rocks and rivers
TIL age our warm blood chills,
Then hurrah for old New England
And her cloud capped granite hills.
rhey tell us of our freezing cline
Our hard and rugged soil
That hardly half repay us for
our springtime care and toll:
But merry sings the farmers boy.
AS the homestead farm he tills.
Then hurrah for old New England
And her handicapped granite hills.
Snail not the land, though poor she he
That gave Webster birth
with pride step forth to take her place
With the mightiest of the earth?
Ana Tor his sake whose lofty fame
Our farthest boundaries fill
Wen shout for old New England
And her cloud-cap2ed granite hills.
Chorus.
Iney tell of the western cline
Ihey say it's passing fair.
nat sunny are its laughing skies
And soft its balmy air;
wen inger round our childhood,s
home
Till death our warm blood chius
rhen We'll die in old New England
And sleep beneath her hills.

The governorship fight next year
if there is a fight and there is every
promise of a scrimmage, will be be-
tween Lieut-Gov. Zed S. Stanton and
Percy w. Clement. None of the other
candidates care for a contest Stan
ton is understood to be already at work
and Clement is carefully standing
guard to see that no shy at the gov
ernorship escapes him. With Clement
in the field there will be no such thing
as walkover and until he declares
himself he is going to- be a very I'M
certain factor in the campaign.

Republicans Won't Fight.
[Middlebury Register.1

The Montpelier Argus and Patriot
is busy trying to stir up strife in the
republican party so its party may
profit thereby This is good party
politics. but it will not succeed. The
republicans will name some good man
for governor and there will be no fight
next year, much as our democratic
friends want one The man will be
elected, too, by the largest majority
ever given any candidate for governor
in Vermont Don't forget this.

The newspapers of the state have
been discussing the purpose of the ag-
ricultural fair. Some say 1t Is amuse-
ment, others agricultural development.
We think 1t has a broader scope than
indicated by either Of these definitions.
A fair such as we have in Brattleboro
furnishes some fun. a whole lot Of
amusement. feast of beauty. liberal
education along widely varying lines
innumerable suggestions for agricul
tural advancement and a social reun-
ion and carnival of friends and rela-
tives for miles around. Some fairs
substitute for one or more Of these
features a game Of graft; but results
are not pleasing.

Just such stringent enforcement of
for the law. No license towns are
having a taste of more severe prohi-
bition than they ever had under the
old law License towns should be
shown exactly wha. the law means.
While II contains stringent provisions
they were put there for a purpose, and
that purpose cannot be carried out If
these provisions are ignored.
The action of the commissioners may
have been drastic. but il is such action
as we want to see under the new law.
We want no clubbing, no evasion. no
hesitancy. The terms of the law ere
plain. If they are mistaken they may
be changed but while they remain they
are a part of the law and must be OBJ
served. There is no discretion allow
ed the commissioners. If the MEM
bers of the Brattleboro board wers sat
isfied that the law had been violated
they had no option in the matter. Only
the laxity that prevailed under prohi-
bition could excuse any different ac-
ton on their part 1t Is not
clear how the license commissioners of
Brattleboro can reinstate the licenses
against whom they recently decided.
Neither is it easy to see why they cam
not grant new licenses. The town has
voted license and the number of IL
censes authorized by law are not in
force. Has the violation of law by |
four men deprived the town of its |
rights under the law?-Montpelier |

The loss of polls in the state grand
lists, which some of the papers have
been trying to attribute to the license
law, is explained by the Middlebury
Register as due to the act of the legis-
lature Of 1902 in exempting old SOL
diers from paying poll tax.

The threat of a financial panic for
the country, which the federation of
labor is said to have made in connec
ton with employers suits against un-
ion men, is unworthy of the cause of
labor and If carried out would place
the federation on the same level with
the. trusts which have not considered
the country's welfare. One who is
willing to injure his country for the
furtherance Of personal interests for
feits the right to public support and

full not to fall into the same practises of

The circulation at Brattleboro of a
petition asking the license commits
sioners of that town to reconsider their
action in revoking the licenses of two
places is singularly ill-advised. The
commissions action, concerning
which not a breath of suspicion was
heard. called forth chorus of COM
mendation from many Of the law -abid-
ing citizens and papers of the state
The Brattleboro board was held up as
an example for some of their weak
kneed brethren Now to have the cit
liens of their own town virtually dis
credit their action by asking them to
reconsider their decision Is discour-
aging to the last degree If the petition
is being signed by men whose names
add any weight to such a request. The
ground taken by the petitioners is that
there was no intention on the part Of
licensees to sell to minors, the ages
of the boys, being misrepresented to
them. This kind of didn't know II
was loaded" excuse is too silly to con-
slider The fewer citizens who sign
this appeal the better 1t will be for the
Of the Vermont town. I'm
less the temper of the board has been
sadly misjudged the petitioners will be
given leave to thdraw.--Springfield

The disturbance at Barre between
socialists and anarchists has no spec
ial Significance in regard to the beliefs
of these two parties. Riots occur, for
one reason or another, among all con-
ditions Of men. Of all nationalities and
political convictions. But the fact that
these men INDUCED In riot and MUIR
der proves that they. like other human
beings, are not good enough to live to-
gether without the restraining In
fuence of laws and executive author
ity. They are no worse than other
men. but they have strikingly Illus
trated forceful argument against
their own theories.

There is one town in the state that
intends to get the full benefit Of the
present liquor law, and that is Brat
tleboro. The action of the license
commissioners in revoking the four IL
censes shows them to be the right men
In the right place. Bennington Is an
other town that is living up to the full
letter of the law and making its work
felt for good Every town might get
the same results IL the people would
only demand It, In many places there
has grown a habit of never arresting
drunken man or trying to put in
force any of our liquor laws. but pass
over these offenses. This slipshod
way of handling the law has borne
fruit but 1t has beei a disorderly kind
and comes back with telling effect
upon the community practicing it.
This same condition brought the pro-
hibitory law into disrepute and is to-
day working harm to the present law.
