Appreciative Words.

Of the part taken by B. Frank Harris
at the concert at Bradford last week the
Opinion says: 'Of B. Frank Harris, the
pianist, little needs be said as he is so
well known here and his musical ability
so much admired by our people. His
piano selection, which opened the pro-
gram, was gem of its kind and received
a rousing applause"

who is well known here, was said: "She
was a, stranger to Bradford audiences,
but her singing was none the less appre-
ciated because of this. Her voice is a full
and powerful soprano with a fine range
and depth. Her singing will not soon be
forgotten by those who heard her. She
is certainly the finest singer that we
have had the pleasure of listening to in
Bradford"

A Greensboro correspondent of the Bur.
lington Free Press writes very pleasantly
of the recent match here as follows:
Several games between these clubs
have been played during the past two
years and the tournaments have become
very pleasant social events. The char
acteristic hearty welcome and unstinted
hospitality of the Old Pine Club were
extended to the Lake Caspian campers
Saturday. The many unique features of
the Old Pine links as a golf course, the
unsurpassed beauty of its surroundings,
the presence of large gallery of charm
ing ladies, ideal golf weather and delic
ious repast served by the ladies OF the
club and adequate to the demands OF the
keenest golf appetite served to make the
event most enjoyable. The match was
close and exciting to the finish. Three
men on each team won and three were
defeated, the result finally standing at
IL to in favor of Greensboro"

troubles at Rutland are slowly adjusting
themselves. The marble works at Proc
tor are planning to install large elect
ric plant in connection with their other
business which will furnish light and
power. At St. Adams a quiet condition
in trade is e. the lime mauuf u-ers
however have been busy with orders and
and collections remain fair. The Ben
nington mills are fairly well employed
and retail merchants report fair
amount of business considering the sea-
son of the year. The manufacturing in
dustries at Montpelier are well employ
ed and they report plenty of orders on
hand. The granite business is gaining in
volume; one granite firm has dissolved
partnership and another has taken its
place. At Barre the granite manu-
facturers report number of orders on
hand with an increase in amount of bust
ness done at the quarries. The retail
merchants have done good business
granite sheds are well employed particu-
~ the one handling building stone which
has had to keep their sheds running
night and day.
The scale factory at St. Johnsbury is
active with orders; retail trade remains
firm and collections are good. At Brat
tleboro the wholesale boot and shoe bust
ness is reported very good; organ facto-
ries are running full time and the general
condition of retail and wholesale trade
there is reported good. Bellows Falls
paper mills while they have had plenty
of orders ahead, have been compare
lively idle for lack Of water owing to the
log drive which has been taking place
and has lowered the river consider ably.
The mills expect to resume business this
week. The slate firms at Fair Haven re-
port fair amount of business although
there has been a tendency among the
manufacturers to cut prices. At Poult.
ney the slate manufacturers report bust
ness not quite up to what it was a year
ago although the sheds are working full
force. The aggregate amount OF bust
ness in this line will be- about normal.

A "sLoPPYv EVASION.

The Board OF Health has placed its
report in the hands OF a printer and
will trust to private subscriptions to
meet the expense OF putting it into
type.
The Democratic members Of Council
have exhausted every effort to have the
report, either expurgated or suppressed,
and the board is obliged 10 take this
means Of having its report made pub
lie. Council has assumed an indefen-
sible position, and win by this again
call attention 10 the necessity for close
public scrutiny Of It's motives and its
acts.
II proposes to have a public invesu-
cation OF the charges against garbage
contractors. This Is an evasion. The
matter Immediately before It was the
authorization of the printing OF the
report OF the Board OF Health. An in
vestigation might have been made af-
terwards. But it is not intended to
have real Investigation, but the sole
object is to whitewash the contractors.
They will be present to tell OF the
prompt collection Of garbage. while
thousands OF householders who know
the real truth OF the matter wiz not be
present.
And why will they not be present ?
Because they are chiefly women who
do not care to go before such body
10 wrangle over a matter that the ON
cIals should attend to-because they
do not propose to handy words with
slop contractors in a public hearing
and be cross examined and II possible

No; let Council hold its investigation,
but let no householder dignity It by
being present. All Of our people know
the truth OF the matter; they know
garbage has not been properly collect
ed, and II our officials choose to pro-
tect the interests OF contractors IN
preference to those OF the people. by
all means let them have the field tc
themselves. We advise every man OF
woman having a complaint to stay
away from that investigation. for theil
testimony Is not wanted.

TAINTED MONEY.

A number OF prominent clergymen
and equally prominent educators have
been discussing recently the question
OF the propriety OF receiving bequests
for educational or charitable purposes,
from wealthy men who have made
their fortunes by means that many re-
gard as questionable.
They have given as very good rea-
sons for accepting such gifts. and It
always happens that way. When Dr.
Andrews received handsome gift from
John d. Rockefeller for the University
of Nebraska he seemed TO feel that he
should express his gratitude. and that
took the form Of very high praise foi
the benefaetor and his methods. Now
Dr. Buckley comes on the scene and
says that had he been IN DR.. Andrews
place he would have taken the cash
and then told the sreat oil man whal
he thought Of his methods

There are several nice points to be
considered. should an educational or
charitable institution take money that
II is believed has been dishonesty got
ten? Would we individually accept
money that had been stolen? And is
a charitable institution on a higher
plane?
That is one side; here Is another.
How are we to know that money which
is rendered has been dishonesty earn
ed? Even a dishonest man usually
earns a part OF his money honestly.
Which kind. then, is he offering to the
charity? II we establish the rule that
not a dollar is to be accepted from any
man who it is believed has earned a
part OF his money by questionable
means. then charities win anguish,
FOR there are many OF such men.
The old rule OF not looking "a gift
horse in the mouth" will probably con-
tinue. II will never be safe to offer
bequests to needy institutions under the
belief that they will be rejected because
Of nice scruples There is always a
logic which justihes an acceptance OF
money.

change in the name of that organiza-
ton is w. A. Holt. Mr.. Holt thinks
that as bicycles are not used so much

Nops IS apparently in good form and
his friends predict that he will pitch

AS a careful and capable business
man, John r. Hudson, treasurer Of the
Delaware Hardware Company. stands
at the top Of the list. His many years

THE LIBRARY.

Our morning contemporary In the
rush OF events calling for space, very
properly pauses 10 comment on the
growth and Importance Of the Whining
ton Institute library and its efficient
head.
A librarian Is something more than
man who takes care OF books and
hands them out when we ask for them.
In large measure he is the library.
1t Is his judgment that must be em-
ployed in the selection OF books IN
their classification and in the manner
OF bringing them to public notice. He
becomes an evangel who breaches good
literature and In a large measure d.
rects the publics reading.
It Is not surprising, then, that the
library has grown so in efficiency and
IN the Importance OF its collection since
the incumbency OF George f. Bower
man. But he has been supported by
the counsel and advice Of a few earnest
men who are both boolSlovers and men
of business experience; yet were the
public Informed OF the true state OF
affairs. II would probably learn that
the library continues to flourish and dc
It's good work largely through the be.

rHE ANSWER.

The state Sentinel emlttcth this:
The Evening Journal has had a sus-
picious silence since the appointment
o. Senator Alice to the Congressional
Campaign COMMITTEES. There is some
thing the matter with its air supply
We evade nothing; we are prepared
TO discuss on the shortest notice How
q Sussex county doctor can become
Secretary Of state" "The potency Of
cash In politics or "The duties Of d.
rectors OF a state corporation but we
must have time.
senator Alice was chosen for the
Congressional Campaign Committee
presumably because Chairman Babcock
likes that sort OF man. II Is possible
that his choice was determined by Sem
ator Allee's record. Alice was chair
man Of the state Committee, which
kept Byrne on the ticket insuring th'
election Of Henry Houston. II may b'
that Mr.. Babcock has conceived {
slrong attachment for Mr.. Houston
and wants TO see Delaware send tC
Congress another like him.
We don't know whether the sentine
wants us to discuss the matter further
but we may add that possibly Mr.
Babcock realizes that Senator Alice
needs all the help he can get to hold
his following to himself and 10 tbs
inustrious gasman. The Regular Re-
publicans do not need the magic Of
Mr.. Babcock's name. And We might
remark in conclusion that greater mer
than Babcock have made mistakes.
