Run the Back Door Of the jap Pup Hanging to Each
NOT A CANDIDATE
Ernest D. Barber Does Not Desire to Be Re-
elected Clerk.

Bennlngto VT, March 81, 1905.
To the Editor ofthe Evening Banner:
Owing to the fact that many people
have asked me whether or not am a
candidate, wish TO announce that
am not nor have been a candidate
for reelection this year to the Office OF
school clerk of this district
As to the candidacy of G. Lynn
Wood for this Office, it can be said
that he is not eligible for election to
the Office.
Section 1888 of the Vermont Statutes
provides that "a school district shall
at its organization, and at each annu-
al meeting thereafter, elect from among
the legal voters of such district mod
orator, clerk, "etc.
Sec ion SOB of the said statutes pro-
vides that, persons residing in the
school district and qualified to vote in
town meeting shall be voters in school
district meetings." etc.
Section 297l OF the same statutes pro-
vldes that male citizens twenty-one
years OF age whose lists are taken in
any town at the annual assessment
next preceding a town meeting, or
who are exempt from taxation for any
cause, shall, while residing in town,
be voters in town meetings."
The list of Mr. Wood was not taken
last year. This was because, as I'M
derstand, he did not come OF q years
OF age until after the work of the lis
tiers was finished. His name does not
appear upon the grand list or the town
check list. For the reason that his list
was not taken last year, think he
was not qualified TO vote in town meet
ing this year. And not being qualified
to vote in town meeting, he is not a
voter in the school meeting and there
fore not eligible to the Office which he
seeks.
think that the clause In section
29Il in regard to those "who are ex-
empt from taxation for any cause"
cannot properly be construed or is in
tended TO refer to those who have not
already attained 81 years of age, in
the sense that they are exempt from
taxation before they come p and can
vote in town meeting without their list
having been taken.
II will be noted that the verb In the
clause referred to is in the present
tense and signifies present exemption
from taxation. IL cannot be said tina
Mr. Wood is exempt from taxation at
the present time. Besides the word
exempt as used in this clause could
be used properly only in reference to
those who have become subject to a IL
ability OF taxation. 1t cannot be said
that Mr. Wood became subject to such
liability before he was 81. This rule
has been followed by the Board of
civil Authority; those who become of
Il years of age before town meeting
and whose lists we're not taken in the |
annual assessment are not
to vote in town meeting. AT
any rate, in my opinion it would seem |
lnwise to elect any person to public |
otiic' when there is a reasonable doubt |
as to his being legally eligible to the |
office.
Yours truly,
Ernest ID Rarhar

Vacation Season NOw
Draining TO q Close
Many Desks at the Various Departments Are
Again Observation-Disclosures Only Wait
ing for Pleasures Offered by Early Fall

The vacation season has passed its
height, sc far as the Government en-
ployes are concerned. but there are still
q number of empty desks in every de-
partment. e silent witness TO some lucky
person who has laid aside the cares
Of office for the time being. Last
month saw the middle of the vacation
season. for It was then that Atlantic
City and other resorts were at high tide:
now the tide has begun to recede. slowly
Rnd surely.
Although there are not quite SO many
away just now. a fact whicTl might lead
persons to think that the vacation period
Is almost over. there are great many
who are only waiting for cooler weather,
the shooting season. and the more eco
nomieal for the rates at the resorts to
get lower. 1t VIII be the matter of
Dniy a few weeks when the season for
reed birds and others Will open, and
then the vacations viii begin again, for
there are any number OF male employees
Of the Government who delight in burn
Ing powder.
Still they go and stI1 they come. this
great army OF Government workers, and
t would be a hard matter TO tell exactly
when the vacation period is over. al
though usually a great number save
few days OF their summer leave to be
used IN visiting their homes in other
parts OF the United States at some time
during the winter.
