Bennington banner and reformer. (Bennington, Vt.) 1903-19??, 1903-04-16

Vermonters are interested in the an
electromagnetic law which was faith
cred by the late Congressman Grout
of this state. The following is from
the Troy Times of Tuesday:
It is said in the dispatches from
Washington that the so-called anti
oleomargarine law has proved fail
ure and disappointment to those who
secured its passage, because it has not
driven oleomargarine out of the mar
ket. Precisely what is meant by this
does not appear. If the idea to be ex-
pressed is that the law was enacted
with the actual intent to suppress the
oleOmargarine business, there Is a
mistake somewhere. The act was
framed, favored and passed because
public sentiment favored restrictions
upon a traffic which resulted in oleo-
margarine being passed off as butter.
There are few objections in disinter-
ested quarters to the product being
sold for exactly what it was, and by
its proper name.

state Asylum INDICATED.

The findings of the investigating
committee specially authorized by
Gov Mccullough to investigate into
the alleged mismanagement at the
state asylum for the insane at Water
bury, resulting in the death of Mrs.
Bennett, an aged inmate, have been
made public, the institution is vindi-
Gated and incidentally the Winooski
valley will assume its wonted calm.
Mrs. Bennett, tho patient in question,
was so severely scalded while being
bathed by the attendants that death
resulted. When the news Of the oc-
currance became public hue and
cry " was at once raised that the hos
pital must be investigated.
Pursuant to that demand on the part
of the public, Gov Mccullough insti-
tuted an investigation, with the above
result. The chief executive of the
state was certainly justified by the
popular demand, but the investigation
did not develop any new or startling
information concerning the instltu-
ton. No gross mismanagement and,
in fact, no acknowledgement whatever,
was laid at the door of the institution,
On the contrary it was found by the
board of Investigators that the insti
tuition is as well managed as SINH
lar institutions in other states,
and in many cases, the management of
the Vermont asylum is far ahead.
The blame for the unfortunate oc-
currance from which the investigation
resulted, was traced to the careless
ness of the two nurses who had charge
of the bathing of the patient Nothing
whatever of criminal blame attaches
to the institution. In fact the institu-
ton is to all intents and purposes ex-
onerated by the report OF the investi-
eating committee. The only result of
the investigation outside the renewal
of popular confidence in the state asy-
lum for the insane, is the recommend
alton of certain minor changes in the
details of the work.
Notwithstanding that the investiga'
ton seemed to have been OF title mo-
ment, there is a feeling of satisfaction
throughout that an investigation has
been held. Public institutions mus
be consta ntly in view of the public
and that same public has a right tc
turn the cline light" on dark places
This, it is believed, has been done
and the state asylum has satisfied the
