Rum Did IL, That's All.

The analytical moralists have been
putting in their fine touches on the Essex
county murder case. There is the usual
argument about rural decadence, degen-
erancy of the old English stock, and the
theory of isolation and crime on one
hand, and refutation on the other to the
effect that quetude and the beautiful
natural surroundings of Vermont are
more uplifting than congregate life to all
except twisted characters. This is all
well enough for augmentation, but the
fact is that Essex county, the most isola-
ted section of the state, where the crime
was committed, has had only one murder
trial in 100 years. About four years ago
man was shot in a drunken row at
Lexington in the county and the assail-
ant was indicted for murder, but on a
plea of mansaughter was sentenced to
state prison for a term of years. This
recent shooting in Bloomfield was the cul-
mination of a drunken brawl, and the
explanation, as in the affair at Leming-
ton, is simply this: Rum did it.-Brattle

fore, it is to the interest of each one of
our more than two thousand readers to
assist in promoting its advertising pat
ronage. This may he done by simply
mentioning the fact that they are readers
of the Mirror when trading with or
writing to any of our advertisers, who
only need to know that their advertise
ments are read to insure the continu-
ance of their patronage.
"If each reader would give preference
to those merchants who advertise in
the Mirror when required to purchase
any goods in their lines, when cost and
quality are as favorable, they will not
only be serving their own best interests
but help us to retain our advertising
patrons and improve the paper as rapidly
as circumstances will warrant. Our
advertisers are all worthy of your pat
ronage, and their announcements in our
columns should help you wonderfully in

Read the Advertiseme n is.

That bright, up-to-the-minute local
paper, the Southern Mirror, of Dandy,
was enlarged last week to sixteen pages.
In noting the improvement the editor
gives the reasons why it is possible and
those reasons apply to this paper with
equal force. Read them carefully and
act on them:
"The Mirror this week appears as a
sixteen-page paper, and we expect the
enlargement will be permanent The
maintenance of the increase depends
largely on the volume of our advertising
patronage, which has now become so
liberal that it has for some time en-
croached upon our reading matter
space. The increase is not made merely
to accommodate our advertisers, how
ever, but more than one-half of the
increased space is devoted to reading
matter.
"The worth of a newspaper to its
readers depends more upon the liberal
ity of its advertising patronage than its
income from subscriptions, as the latter
provides for perhaps not more than one
quarter of the cost of producing as read
able newspaper as the Mirror. There

State. Last Saturday night nearly eleven
hundred Republicans turned out and
fought nearly two hours over the cleo
ton OF delegates to the Burlington con-
vention. 1t is usually hardwork to get
anyone to serve as delegate to this con-
vention, as it is a mere preliminary
affair, that this year was simply a rati-
tication meeting to endorse President
Roosevelt. The Clement and Meade
factions embraced this occasion to try
conclusions and see which was strongest,

Will Not Stop Growth

The village of Middlebury appears to
be the especial prey of the fire fiend. No
sooner does it recover from the effects of
one disaster than another follows on its
heels, and the chain seems endless. Over
year ago the village was given a serious
setback by a conflagration which swept
away a considerable portion of the bust
ness section. A few weeks ago the valu-
able three-story school building was
rendered useless while on Saturday a
business block which was erected after
the big fire." was practically ruined.
All these losses were most severe to
Middlebury, whose recuperative powers
have been taxed heavily in compare
lively short time. The rest of the state
joins in wishing renewed courage to the
stricken community, with the hope that
the succession of calamities will not
seriously retard the forward movement
of the village.-Bame Daily Times.
