Mrs. Rogers Likely to Hang.

The Boston journal has made q
canvass OF the members OF the legis-
lature to ascertain. their sentiments
regarding the case OF Mary A. Rogers,
who is under sentence Of death at
Windso- for numbering her husband by
chloroiOrming him and throwing him
into a river.
OF the Legislators Intercepted 81 per
cent. firmly advocated hanging the
woman, = per cent were undecided.
while only - per cent favored COM
muting her sentence to lite imprison-
ment. In other words those who will
demand capital punishment In Mrs.
Rogers case outnumbered those OPP
posed TO ii about three to one. with
the q percentage Of members remain
ing an uncertain factor.
II might be added that public senti-
ment in Bennington. the scene OF the
tragedy, and throughout the state at
large, is apparently strongly in favor
of hanging the woman.
Mrs. Rogers and her family are stil
hopeful that her sentence will be COM
muted by the incoming legislature to
life Imprisonment, and her attorneys
are preparing TO wage a spirited fight
in her behalf. II she dies on the gal !

is that her record since then has shown

Wan. Better Game Protection.

Residents of Windham county are
seeing their representatives-elect Tor
the purpose of recommending strieter
amendments to the fish and game laws.
There is much complaint that fisher
men are depicting the streams by TAX
ing everything big enough TO bite a
hook, regardless OF the law which pre-
scribes penalties for understood fish,
while gunners not only sill out OF sea-
son, but kin young deer, and the doe,
contrary to law.
ID is suggested that law be enacted
providing county wardens, who shall
have the power to prosecute violators
and that the penalties be increased.
This would do away with town ward
ems, who, though aware OF illegal
shooting and fishing, ottentimes hesi-
tate in bringing their neighbors to
account; so that very many persistent
offenders escape punishment and
illegal sport goes on to the sure nulli-
fication of the efforts of the State Fish
and Game league to restock the
streams.
Still another scheme is to provide
some form OF law to prevent non-resi-
dents shooting deer without a license.
1t is urged that the greatest slaughter
OF deer during the open season is by
who come into the state
fully equipped for a months hunt that
some OF the best shots in the country
come here with deadly results to most
everything crossing their path. Local
sportsmen and others argue that so

WHEAT FROM THE NORTH PA
CIFIC COAST.

There are some advantages in being
the Minneapolis Journal. The wheat
crop of the middle west has been very
unsatisfactory this year, yielding, per
haps, not enough for domestic con-
SUMPTION But out on the Pacific
coast they have had the largest crop
in their history. Oregon, Idano and
Washington have produced about As.
600. 900 bushels of wheat. The north
Pacific states have plenty of wheat to
spare; the east and middle west need
wheat. The railways are called upon
to make special rates, eastern buyers
hurry to the coast, and presently a
golden stream of wheat begins to move
from the extreme northwestern part
Mississippi valley Much of this wheat
will be hauled over 1000 miles. Ia
Duluth alone 5000 900 bushels are COM
ing, and it will take 5000 freight cars
to handle the business. The extreme
east will get the Pacific coast wheat by
boat around the Horn.
1t takes such a condition of the
wheat market as the present to educate
the American people up to the vast
extent and wonderful productivity of
their own country. The news the peo-
pie are now reading in the papers about
these extraordinary wheat shipments
is the first intelligence many of them
have had that out in the extreme
northwestern states there are magnifi-
cent wheat fields, covering millions of
acres. The wheat is soft, it is true,
and is not so valuable as the hard
wheat of the middle northwestern
states but it averages a much larger
yield to the acre. For ten years Wash
| ington has enjoyed an average wheat
production of 2O.3 bushels to the acre
! while in 1901 it was more than 29
bushels to the acre. In fact, Washing
ton leads all the states having a con-
siderable wheat acreage in the average
yield per acre.

Addicks. and loudly denounced that
politician for his methods. Then he
went on to say:
The human leeches that have hung
to the money bags of Addicks since his
advent into Delaware are as much to
blame for the reproach of Delaware as
their master. and when the history of
this states present decade is written.
the greatest contempt of posterity will
be heaped upon those native born citi-
zens of Delaware who for greed and
gain sullied the honor of their state.

AN OUTSIDE OPINION.

William f.. Curtis, the famous politi-
cal correspondent of the Chicago
Record Herald, after travelling over
this state, wrote to his paper that
Washington would go strongly for
Roosevelt, but the democratic state
ticket would be elected. He goes on to
say that the independent voters of the
state, of whom there is a large num-
Der are disguised at the utter sub
serviency of the republican leaders to
the railroad lobby and that the fact is
evident to every observer that the in
dependents will rebuke the dominant
party at the polls He says the re-
publicans might possibly have nomi-
mated Il weaker ticket, but is is eX-
tremely doubtful. AS Mr.. Curtis is a
strong republican, his testimony given
after a thorough study of political con-
ditiOns in this state should carry con-
siderable weight.

CIVIC VIRTUE.

! Two distinguished publicists-an
British parliament-nave given their
views on the ways of preserving good
government in the American munich
palities. One recommends civic viz
tue and the other speaks of purity in
public office.
The phrases are different but the
meaning is the same. They are syn
onymous with such terms as "cIvic
pride and civic patriotism, and the
is inspired in every community and
new, better ideals are established, the
charms which have brought about inn
provements of many kinds.
With everybody agreed with every
body else. it should not be difficult to
have and to keep good government We
know how and what to do. Desiring to
have the laws enforced SenSibly and
the cityS business we'll administered.
we must elect to Office men who will
live up to the popular standard Of
civic virtue" who Viii see that pub
and in order TO elect such officers We as
citizens must dc our duty by voting for
men of the right sort. }.
There is the whole story. Civic viz
tue is a popular standard. The public
officer is as good and capable a man
as the people would have. If he fails
to meet the requirements of the stand
ard. it is because the voters are will
ing to tolerate misgOvernment
However the problem of good govern
ment is explained, and whatever phras-
es may be used in the explanations, it
is inevitable that we look to the vOt-
ers. They are responsible. Purity in
public office" is a manifestation of
civic virtue The results. as we'll as
the standards, depend upon the popular
ideas and ideals.
the views of these publicists are the
more significant, since they accord
with the philosophy of experience.
Civic virtue is expressed at the polls
by the voters. Purity in public office"
is the realization of the standard made
by the ballots We can preserve good
government and make betterment pro-
greSSiVe if we will.

Like corruption has been exposed in
Buffalo, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chi
cago. Detroit, Grand Rapids, New
York, Philadelphia and in many other
large cities. Under loose system of
public morals graft and Doodle are
taken by many public officials as a
matter of course. Civic virtue in the
municipal governments of this country
is at low ebb. \ hopeful sign. now
ever, is the success that has attended
the efforts of Circuit Attorney Folk, in
spite of apparently insuperable OBJ
stacles, in sending many boodlers to

large city cannot have such a prose-
cutor as Folk to keep the thieves
