name the standing committees for the

tion of fight between the mayor and
chief of police. Policemen appointed
by the mayor were discharged and 9TH

Mayor Buck being a member Of the

Local Option in Vermont.
Boston Advertiser.

FROM the Boston ADVERTISER.
with only months test Of the local
option, high-license law, the land Of
Ethan Allen is pretty much disturbed
over the liquor question. From the
cities and many OF the larger towns, the
number of drunks is reported as having
been doubled over the records of last
year, and IN some few instances treb-
led. City jails are overnowing. BY a
remarkable somersault the Prohibi
lionisls. who opposed the law, appear
as satisfied with its workings, while
those who supported the Clement idea
are the most violent in opposition.
The whole explanation lies I'm the
fact that Vermont is taking to the high
license law as a child to a toy. The
liquor statute is a novelty, and after a
nifty years drought the people are
playing with It just as small boy
with hose. When the boy gets IT, he
proceeds to turn the water on all the
time at first. So in Vermont. After
the drunks have had a taste of jail sem
tences or fines from the court the now
city Of the thing will wear away, and
even II for nothing else than variety,
the common drunks viii be sober.
The conditions which now seem so
unusual in Vermont will adjust them
selves i'm two years trial Of the law,
Just as they have in Massachusetts, or
in any state which has changed from
prohibition to license. II has always
been notorious in prohibition States
that arrests for drunkenness have been
few. To take a drunken man TO the
lookup of a town where no liquor was
openly" sold was TO expose the seller,
oftentimes a. man of political influence,
a "higher-up" of the community. In
stead of arresting a man, the village
constable would send him to his home
or else drop him az some livery stable.
Today, where liquor selling is legal
police officers make arrests without
fear, and accordingly Vermont has been
alarmed by a seeming increase in
drunkenness in towns which voted
yes" II is generally admitted that in
no" towns there has been an absolute
prohibition never known before. II af-
ter another years trial, the statistics
show a grea ter number OF arrests for
drunkenness than this year, then there
will be a Just criticism of the workings
OF the law. At present the law Is be-
ing tried on and, like new boots,
there Is considerable sQuealSing.

And his life is richer. fuller.

With the boys at German worries;

To his home he nightly hurries,
Eats his supper, gets his pipe out;
Then with great content does pull er
All the woes Of life he'll wipe out
Now he has pipe to color.
See him feast his eyes upon the
Rings of smoke all upward curling
Like ambitions dreams all gone the
Way that dreams go, idly whirling.
On the bowl his eyes are gloating-
1t has now the hue of cruller.
Every little shade he's noting

For his heart is getting lighter
As the pipe is getting darker.

He is happy and contented

pIsclPLINE IN EDUCATION.

In his admirable address TO the cadets
Of the Wilmington Military Academy
General Wilson said many things that
might be used as texts for pertinent
discourses; but his insistence on disci-
pline as applied to every walk OF life
is worthy Of full attention. 1t is the
one thing that our educators exalt. and
the thing that our educational systems
lack. our students expend enough en-
ergy in the attempt to master the sub
jects set before them. but much of this
is insdirected and wasted. In our stu
dents we notice that imDetuosity and
nervous haste which is not economy OF
time and energy but waste.
1t is to speak plain truth to say thai
the average American youth is prett,
well satisfied with himself and Will
his attachments. He is apt to be ir
reverent, and 10 regard Il as a sign O
independence to play tricks on thos
who arc set over him. He resents tn
appearance Of authority. and in certai
OF our Institutions Of learning he wi

mistake for the authorities to yield I

Philadelphia June 11.-Omcials Of

placed very little stock in the reports
that John d. Rockefeller is attempting
to secure control of that great railroad
system. Captain John p. Green, first

Green said II would take 5000. 900. 900

to get control of the road?" he asked.

Thursday. June II. 1908.
HIS DUTY IS MINISTERIAL.

Apparently the garbage contracts are
TO stand, which means that we are to
have an inefficient service, II we may
judge by the past. and we are to pay
for II about $4,000 more than perfectly
responsible persons bid for the work.
Council having chosen to give the work
to contractors against whom there had
been many reasonable complaints, and
II being decided that their award was
within the meaning of the law, they will
hardly show timidity in awarding con-
tracts to favorites i'm the future. The
court decides that the Mayor is a minis
icrial officer. and must sign the con-
tracts entered into by Council. The
decision is important and cuts off an
almost necessary power which we had
supposed the Mayor possessed. We
have no desire to discuss-the merits OF
the decision. but IL the Mayors duties
I'm the premises are only ministerial il
would seem that it would have been
better had the law required some sub
ordinate like the clerk Of Council to
attest to such acts To be compelled
TO sign contracts against his judgment
and against public policy, without the
power TO review them, is beneath the
dignity OF a mayor, and the Legisla
ture which passed the law must have
been careless, indeed
But while the city has no remedy we
believe the unsuccessful bidders have.
When bids are called for each bona
fde participant has certain rights
There is an implied, il not specific
agreement, that the lowest responsible
bidder shall get the contract We be-
lieve that an unsuccessful bidder,
when his bid has been lower than that
OF a successful rival. has a remedy in
law, and we should like to see the Ques-
tion tested on this point AS in an auc-
! tion. there is an implied contract that
the highest bidder shall get the goods
so in Offering to do a piece of work un-
der bids. the lowest responsible bidder
has right to the contract.
This point, we believe, is not covered
by the courts decision, but it is vitality
important. If contracts are TO be given
to favorites without regard to the sums
involved. then all of our safeguards
have been swept away, and we shall
be at the mercy of any party which
chooses to reward favorites or to pay
party debts. Under such circumstances
there must be remedy and we hope
that Il viii be found.

Hysteria In Dogs.

Nerves are the disease of the present
day among human beings, but l did
not know till recently that hysteria is
also malady Of dogs. A friend Of mine
owned a dog which suddenly one day
was seized with an attack of nerves.
Since then it has been very i'll, wander
ing necessarily round and round the
room. refusing food, but still recogniz
ing its owner. Another little dog suf.
fered from hysteria in consequence OF
fright from railway travelling. and il
really seems as though civilization, in
rendering dogs more delicate and
more susceptible, had done tbem q
distinct physical injury. - London

SHOULD WE PROTEST.

The Every Evening seems to be wor-
ried over the fact that our citizens
should feel called upon to protest
against the horrors az Kishnen. while
so many outrages against life and prop
erty are occurring in our own country.
Il hurls n number OF stock phrases at
the protestants, saying: Sweep before
your own door," and pluck the mote
out Of your own eye" 1t may occur to
many that should we wait till every
American citizen had decided to obey
the laws, we should probably never be
in a position TO protest. II may occur
to our people that It is proper and con-
sistent to denounce outrages whether
they occur at home or abroad; and for
them to remain passive while their
fellow men in Russia are being butcher
cd by the direction Of the government,
or at least with its knowledge, would
show spirit foreign to humane peo-
pie.
But our government cannot make an
official protest, and there is no likeli-
hood Of its doing so. The reasons are
apparent Such protest could not be
enforced, and we should then be with
out power to influence the Russian
government. But those who take the
view voiced by the Every Evening for
get that the taking Of human life in
this country is against the laws, and
all the power of the government Is
used TO prevent it; while the Kishneff
outrage is perpetrated under govern
mental sanction. 1t is inconceivable to
our citizens that a modern govern
ment can so forget its functions as to
revert to the barbarities of the middle
ages and naturally they are indignant
and shocked and are not too timld to
say so.
In the last few years we have no.
toed a class Of cynics who hold II the
part Of honesty to compare rascality
in all parts of the world with our own,
and to our disadvantage. No matter
what atrocity may be committed these
gentlemen inspired by the so-called
world patriotism" unctiously exclaim;
Let him who is without sin cast the
first stone But the fact remains that
we are a great and a humane people;
we have our criminals, OF course, but
we are not yet ready TO acquiesce in
massacre under governmental sanction.

RUSSIA DECLINES AID
FOR KISCHINEY VICTIMS
Country Announces That 1t
Is Capable of Attending to
Its Own Affairs

washington. June j. - Numerous
offers have reached the Russian gov
ernment from American sources 20 aid
the families OF sufferers in the recent
hischinev Incident. All such offers
nave been declined for the reason that
Russia is entirely capable OF extending
relief and under the circumstances
cannot accept outside aid.
The Russian position in the matte-
Is as follows:
Russia has not been unappreciatlve
Of the generous offers which have come
10 her from America since the affair at
kischinev nor of the humanitarian
motive which may have PROMPTED
these offers. In view of the fact that
his majesty the emperor has the means
at hand to relieve suffering wherever
It appears in his empire. outside aid
is unnecessary and all offers of such
must be declined
Nor will II be possible for Russia to
receive any representations regarding
the Kischinev incident from a foreign
power. The Russian government takes
the same position as that long held By
the American government, namely.
that it refrains from interference in
the internal affairs of another power,
and must insist on similar treatment
for itself Should any foreign power
take steps to restrain immigration of
Russian Jews on the ground that they
are undesirable. Russia will not pro-
test She admits the right of every
nation to say who shall come through
its gates and who shall not.
