The Democratic members of the
joint committee which has been in
vestigating the charges against
Charles u. Bell are convinced that
there is not the shadow of a suspic-
tion lowering over the governor
elect. IT'S a pity that they could not
have known that before they let
loose such an unfounded charge,
Ills pity, too, that such campaign
arguments brought out after only a
cursory examination of the reports
of the state Officers are to be to1-rat-
ed. Had the opponents to Charles
j.. Bell taken the proper pains to
verify their charges, there would
never have been such foolish ac-
cusation made against a man who
stands scrupulously honest; there
stands scrupulously honest; there
would not have been the charge that
Charles J. Bell took from the treas
ury greater pay per diem than
there were days in the year, includ-
in Sundays and holidays. But it
would have taken more than mi
mute examination of the reports to
show the lack of foundation for the
charge; thorough analysis of the
vouchers was the only means to ar
rive at the true state of affairs. I'm
fortunately those who brought the
charge against Mr.. Bell took the
figures in the public reports as they
appeared on their face. Result,
that the governor elect was charged
most unjustly In their supple
mental report the two Democratic
members of the joint committee have
referred to this and have brought the
methods of conducting business in
the state. They are not to be blamed
for bringing up the matter; it is the
only thing that can justify their side
of the controversy. We believe that
the Republican members of the COM
mittee will agree with them that
the details of the conduct of the
state business. Lax methods have
been brought to light. The COM
mittee did not see fit to make recon-
mendations ,as to a change; they
rightly stated that such work was
beyond the scope of the committee,
believing the Interpretation of the
statute on audit or consideration of
the state system of audit were ques-
tions respectively for the court and
the legislature''. The developments
lead to Legislative consideration of
the matter. The Times trusts that
the matter will not rest here.

The example ser by Louis Fleisch
mann, the famous Vienna baker
New York, and who died in that city
on Sunday last, is worthy of the
widest emulation, He it was who
established the ''broad line' where
in five hundred loaves of bread are
given away nightly to the needy
who line up for the distribution.
Mr.. F1eischmann was an Austrian
and his business success in this
country began with his management
of Vienna bakery at the Centennial
at Philadelphia in 1876.
1t is understood that his sons to
whom he leaves his business will
continue his significant charity.

The news that ex-senator William
E. Chandler of New Hampshire was
struck by a crank and seriously in
iured awakens visions of a struggle
with a wild man, until one reads
that the crank was simply a part of
a balky automobile. Elk Senator
Chandler experienced one of the
pleasures of automobile driving,
that's all.

1t may be remem bered that some
rather p1ain-spoken observations
were forwarded to the government
by special inspector Major Glenn,
U. S. A. in his report on the con-
clifton of the National Guard of Yer
mont. 1t is natural, of course, that
a criticism by the war department
should not be relished in the quar-
tiers where it lands, but General
Gilmore expresses the highest re-
spect for the officer who reported
the facts as they were without fear
or whitewash. And now that the
great maneuvers at Manassas are
over it is realized that our state
guard was immensely braced up by
those same criticisms and that the
special inspector was real though
stern friend.

The personnel of the Legislature
entities us to expect good business
usage from that body. Its function
is to leave our public conditions
different from the state in which
they found them, bur good many
changes have been suggested of late
for the mere exhuberance of having
change. These will command
small attention. There are, how
ever, a few measures for which the
time is ready. The direct primary
is thoroughly businesslike propo-
sition for registering the real will
of the people. Adopt it in Yer
mont and at some future day it will
be strong safeguard against such
system of graft as now prevails in
Delaware, Pennsylvania, Missouri
and Wisconsin.
Give us some splendid state hig h
ways on which the farmer can hau
his produce quickly to shipment a
any time of year and law which
will teep the racing automobile
from making those roads too dan
gerous for the people, after they
are built.
We are under a law for the re-
striction of the sale of liquor. 1t
was formed with some haste and
needs amendment in some details,
on the whole the Opinion thin ks
that it is a real registration of the
will of the people.
The tradition for filling the offices
of chaplain in the two houses is
such that it has become the custom
for those who aspire to these offices
to use the same political methods by
which other officers secure tn cir
state positions. There need be
nothing morally wrong in this, and
our chaplains are good men. But
they themselves, the members of
the Legislature and the ministry of
the state often express dislike of the
political methods of obtaining this
position. Why not create COM
mittee at the opening session whose
duty it shall be to appoint one of
the ablest divines of the state, and
so raise the office to that position of
incalculable influence which it may
have. The United States Senate, by
that aged old patriot.
Edward Everett Hale, has set an
example which state legislatures
may we'll follow. And so gentle
men, here is our idea. Leave us
different but be sure you leave us
better.

Begin to do some thinking about
the good road project. 1t may seem
that with winter coming on that
this subject could be given rest
until spring, but such is not the
case. If this coming Legislature
could be induced to take the matter
up seriously, something might be ac-
complished. Citizens all over the
state should make themselves heard
that the law makers may believe
that here is something of popular
demand for this thing. If Vermont
could realize that until she has a
system of good roads at least begun,
her progress is greatly retarded per-
haps she would be reused to doing
something practical about the mat

Expenditures are all Right.

The campaign on the Democratic
side haa heen reduced 20 two con-
tentions; the so-called aggressive
ness and impulsiveness of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and the so-called ex-
travagant expenditure of the Repub-
1ican party. These expenditures are
credited to Mr.. Roosevelt by the
ignorant Democratic press, while of
course the Presiden, has nothing
whatever to do with the appropria-
tions which necessitate the conse-
quent expenditures for the mainte-
nance of the government. 1t trans
pires that those expenditures, all
things considered, are in no way an
increase over the expenditures of
previous administr ATOMS; as, for in
stance, the expenditure of $50, 0O0-
600 for the Panama Canal is in no
way an ordinary expenditure; it is
simply the taking of so much money
from our surplus and putting it into
this great undertaking, and there is
no Democrat with courage enough,
if he has the inclination. to say
that that amount should not have
been appropriated. We are now ex-
pending 10000, 200 year for free
rural delivery service, and there is
no Democrat with courage enough,
even if he has the inclination, to
say that we should appropriate a
dollar less than $50, 1870, 900 which we
are to expend this year for that
splendid service, and which will no
doubt be increased from year to year
should the Republicans continue in
power.

Rip Van Wrinkle without Joseph
Jefferson would be a good deal like
Hamlet with the melancholy Dane
left out. Word comes at the Begin
ming of the season that Mr.. Jeffer-
son will not fill any engagements
this season owing to the state of his
health. This is not taken to mean
that the celebrated actor is danger
ously i'll but that he wishes not to
put too great a strain upon his fail
ing strength. 1t must be remem-
bered that he has reached his
seventy fifth year and that if he is
to linger among the living, he must
necessarily take the best of care of
himself. He is, however i'll with
an attack of indigestion, but it is
hoped that it will prove of short
duration.

From all over the country comes
the report that the freshman classes
are record breakers. This is encour-
aging if one-ha1f the opportunities

The Zeiglar Relief Expedition
has failed so word comes from Nor
way. This relief was sent out by
William Zeigler for the relief of the
Artic explorers in the Arctic region.
The leader says that the ice made
it impossible for him to reach Franz
Joseph's Land, even. Arctic ex-
ploration is fraught with great dan-
ger, and to some the hazards seem
to outweigh the possible gain in new
discoveries, but so it has been be-
fore the success of any project of
discovering what has hitherto been
unknown.
