Licenses ofth fifth class under the
new liquor law do not appear to be
popular in the various cities and
towns OF the state Barre Times.
From the number Of druggists who.
in license towns, have applied for
second class licenses, it is apparent
that the high moral pretentions Of
some OF the pharmacists who appeared
before the legislature were not alto

A Commendable Action.

There is something commendable In
the action of one Adam Young, an
Austrian laborer of Milwaukee, al
though he was most disreputable
and dissolute character.
1t appears that while murder mad
from the effects Of liquor Young de-
cided to kill himself, his wife and his
two little children. He imagined that
an act Of this kind would solve all Of
his difficulties. The more liquor he
drank the more firmly he became root
ed to the conviction that the thing TO
do was to kill his wife and children
first and to kill himself afterward.
Possibly during the time he spent
chasing his wife, armed with butch
err knife, the effects of the liquor began
to die out and his naturally healthy
mental faculties asserted themselves.
At any rate, after inflicting few flesh
wounds upon the mother Of his children
and failing to accomplish his purpose a
change seemed to come over him. He
dropped the knife and was lost for a
time In profound meditation. A happy
idea flashed through his mind. In
stead of killing his wife and children
first and then killing himself he de-
cided to kill himself first and then
But happily he did not pause TO reason
the PROPOSITION 10 final analysis, but
went out and hanged himself.
For this final act Young deserves
some measure Of credit. He certainly
did the right thing at the right time.
Let all murderous lovers, husbands
and fathers go and do likewise.

The Scarcity Of Farm Laborers.

his troubles TO the Boston Globe, de-
claring that high wages are no induce.

makes the suggestion that the new

farm laborers. TO be located at the

them. A large proportion must now
become merged In the urban popula-
ton In new and often distasteful en-
vironment. Could they be made to
believe that farm labor is remunerative
they would be likely to choose that as
a calling with which they are already
| familiar. IL the new arrivals could be
at once directed to these openings for
employment, good results to them and
to the country would follow.

More European Investigators.

1t is announced that forty-six Ger
man agriculturists are coming to
this country to study American meth
DDS of farming and stock raising, They
propose to stay two months and to
travel 10000 miles over the country In
pursuance of their studies. They will
doubtless see much that will be Of in
terest and profit to them. They will
find some essential differences between
the farms of the fatherland and those
of this country, particularly in point
of acreage and implements.
Farms are larger in this country, and
machinery can be used with better
advantage than in Europe. Taxes are
lighter. transportation rates for long
distances are probably lower and the
business is carried on in a more ex-
tensive way. There is nothing in Ger
many to compare with the great wheat
regions and stock farms to be found in
this country.
1t is gratifying to have our foreign
competitors come here and learn for
themselves the sources of our superior
ity. They feel American competition,
and they want to see the basis of It
Probably some of the Germans will
60 back home and decry our methods,
but that will not hurt our feelings any.
The competition, however, will go on,
and hundreds of thousands of Germans
will continue to abandon the small
and worn out farms In the fatherland,
which few tillers of the soil can ever
hope to own, for the broader and more
productive acres in America of which
they can by thrift and economy &C.
Quire full and complete ownership.
The delegation of investigators will
be cordially welcomed and given every
advantage to see and learn our meth
DDS. What they may say about us
upon their return will be quite imma-
terial.

separation was rendered in favor
of the wife and the justice ordered
that the husband be denied all ac-

Leventrette's reasons for this
strange order are set forth in his
statement as printed in the New

am aware that il is unusual in
separation cases to deny the guilty
parent the right occasionally to see

diplomatic and naval circles that
followed this discovery can be
more easily imagined than de-
scribed. The demand for stimu-
lants at the Club, where the Board
of Strategy holds it's sessions, sur
passed all previous records, and
the President and John Hay were
nonplussed. The State Depart
ment having solemnly, by treaty,
declared Mukden ''port," persist
in that declaration, our naval
heroes think it impossible to carry
out the plans of the Board of
Strategy, there being not enough
water to float a canoe, much less a
battleship, within miles of ''the

our State Department, probably at

ent administration will never be
