Our Costly Legislation.
burlington News. Nov. 20. ]

In yesterdays News our Montpelier
correspondent wrote something about the
work OF the legislature up To the Thanks
giving recess. 1t Is a record we think
that will hardly be called a proud one by
any member OF the legislature OF 1904
That body has been in session for forty
five days. In that time ii has taken into
its hopper six hundred and seventy-three
measures for consideration. OF these bills
Governor Bell has signed only seventy
three. OF the bills signed by the govern
or, which have laboriously passed through
the legislature. at a cost OF about one
thousand dollars a day, we challenge any
member OF that body to name one bill of
such commanding Importance that II
could be said to be necessary TO the inter-
ests of the state that 1t should become a
law.
OF the laws already made a small mi
nority are public laws; all the rest are
private acts of one kind and another
From an incomplete list of these new laws
We count up thirty-eight private acts
Not one of these has any real concern
with the public. They are for purely pri-
vate purposes. and for the sole profit of
those who take the time of the Legislature
to get them passed. 1t comes to this
them that this Legislature has been in ex-
istence about seven weeks at a cost OF
approximately fifty thousand dollars In
that time thirty eight purely private bills
and thirty five more or less public acts
not one of which was really needed by the
public-have become laws at a cost of
over twelve hundred dollars apiece; and
this merely to add a lot OF unnecessary
public laws to our already congested stat
ute book.

Truth In Newspapers.

The following from the pen of ST Clair
McKelway. editor of the Brooklyn Eagle.
should be read and borne in mind by
every reader of newspapers
None knows better than newspaper
man the faults Of the press or the crit
icisms upon the press. The percentage Of
error in newspapers. however is less than
the percentage OF 1t in the speech OF peo-
pie. in their oratory. or in their letter
writing. Wonder should be that the err
rors Of the press are really so few con-
sidering at what long range it is served
by how many hands ii is worked and how
quickly 1t is required to put forth its
product. No equal test is applied to any
other form Of utterance The Grafton Is
carefully prepared The sermon can be "A
week or year in the making. The book
or review is gradually created The
judges charge or the courts decree is
based on long settled authorities The re-
port or the editorials must be created at
once and served at once. The large meas
ure of correctness and the small measu
of error in them are really extraordinary
Moreover, they are becoming better all
the time. There is a larger ratio of i'm
proVement in Journalism than there is in
sermons, oratory, or Jurisprudence and
journalism, with its extended sweep Of
powers and topics is responsible for
some of the improvement even
duced sectarianism in religion, bgotry
in medicine, and truality in pol
tics, 1t has held the mirror up to govern
ment and to armies and II has made
them more circumspect than they were
before 1t is the vehicle of public com
plants. the stimulus of agitation, the
censor of power and the channel or
courier Of public opinion. Any COMPARE
son of a land with free press with a land
with none. or with press which is but a
monograph of government policy, will
show the value of newspapers to human
happiness and to human rights. The dis
tinction between truth and accuracy
should be borne in mind. Truth is ac-
curacy up to date. Accuracy is truth in
final form. Every newspaper aims at
truth and approximates accuracy. 1t cor
reefs its errors promptly and has very
few to correct, considering the multi
tidude of subjects with which it deals"

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a BrattIeboro Household viii Find
Them So.

To have the pains and aches of bad
back removed, to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is
enough to make any kidney sufferer CRATE
full, To tell how this great change can be
brought about VIII prove comforting
words to hundreds of Bratleboro readers.
NJ. w. Bingham of Guilford, formerly Of
Brattleboro, says: When living at No. 3
ter of 1897 l went to Geo B. Greene's
drug store for Doan's Kidney Pills and
took a course of the treatment which alb
solutely proved that the claims made for
that preparation were not exaggerated
Since then l have not had the slightest
reason to alter the opinions then ex-
pressed through the newspapers. No one
with kidneys weak for years, or annoyed
with attacks of sharp pain in the small
of the back or trouble with the kidney
secretions, need have the slightest hest
tation in using Doan's Kidney Pills"

their defeat rather joyously for a beaten
team. but Capt. Pierce's remark that
now the needed changes will come. which
only a defeat could bring. and faster
pace will be set for the games to come
seems to give the reason. \ defeat at
the right time is worth more than
victory.
An idea struck a senior last year and
has hung on since. Briefly IL is this:
Would 1t not be worth while to have
building erected in the yard back of the
high school suitable for a gymnasium
dance hail. lecture room, banquet hall
etc? The hall would be directly under
control OF the high school authorities
and would do away with the trouble in
securing halls about the town Many
times the high school students have been
handicapped in arranging socials on
dates considered proper by authorities
and parents because of the lack of any
suitable hall. So many are engaged the
year around by local organizations, and
always on the nights desired by the high
school classes. Such a building would
fill much felt want. and be one more
thing which the town of Brattleboro
could pride itself upon. high school hall
for its students The idea seems worth
mentioning, at least.

Madam Tslka VIII Deliver Free Lecture.

Our readers will remember the great
interest two or three years ago over the
abduction of Miss Ellen Stone. a mis-
sionary of the American Board. and
Madam Tsillta, and the strenuous efforts
made to raise the amount necessary for
their release by the brigands in the
Balkan mountains. Madam Tsilka will
speak at the Baptist church on Friday
evening. Dec. 16 1t is probable that a
union service of all interested will be ar
ranged. Madam Tsilka will be accom-
panied by the baby born during their i'm
prisonment. Her address is very highly
spoken of wherever she has delivered It,
No admission fee will be charged, but it
is hoped that a generous Offering will be
made on that evening The subject of
the lecture is The Story of My Captiv-
ity."

From this fair world I'll take away
No thing I've wrought in gold or clay.

That is the wealth death cannot snatch.
When after me earths door shall latch.

Fools create themselves new appetites.
At thirty, man suspects himself a fool,
Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan
At fifty, chides his infamous delay
Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve,
In all the magnanimity of thought;
Resolves and re-resolves, then dies the
same.
And why? Because he thinks himself i'm
mortal.
All men think all men mortal but them
selves
