Federal Court Alone Saved Her.

So far as popular sentiment is con-
cerned, if the people OF Vermont had
their way today, Mary Rogers would
have paid the penalty of her horrible
crime long before this, and federal
court alone prevented this murderess
from already receiving the fate she so
richly deserved. When the people
realize that their silence is being mis-
interpreted in connection with the
efforts made to prevent the punish
ment OF Mrs. Rogers, they will be
likely to feel that the endeavor to give
this woman the benefit of every legiti-
mate doubt in her case has received
poor reward, and they will be excus-
able TOR insisting hereafter that cases
OF murder as plain as this one shall be
followed by prompt punishment.

Reform School Reform.

The Randolph Herald calls attention
TO peculiarly of the law which seems
to put premium on insubordination
and running away among the boys Of
the industrial school. II says truth
fully that in such cases the boy is often
sent to Rutland as punishment, and,
after his term expires, is liberated
altogether. This has happened in
cases under our observation and the
law ought to be so administered that
II wouldn't offer the boys such an in
ducement TO kick over the traces.
Perhaps little more judicial power
for the superintendent would enable
him to administer affairs so it would
not be quite so profitable TO cut up.

surprising that it is today the worlds

We suggest to out-of-town people the
advisability of coming to town early so
as not TO miss the grand street parade that
takes place daily at 10 a. m, rain or shine.
Il contains five bands OF music ten kinds
OF music in all, including the grand gol-

There is a whole caravan Of massive carved

No graft, no dishonesty, but incom-
potency, incapacity. That is the
essence OF the report OF the Investigate
ing committee respecting the Vermont
insane asylum at Waterbury. There
has been poor business management,
resulting in heavy losses to the state.
There has been faulty oversight by
the superintendent. The findings seem
TO accord with the facts, as they have
appeared and as they have been pub
lished. A shakeup in the responsible
board is recommended by the commit
tee and generally approved outside.
It is some consolation that no thievery
has been going on. and that such re-
forms as are advised seem easily at
tainable.

Evil and vice could otherwise run on

Read this, from the st. Johnsbury
Republican, whose editor is the gov
ernor's private secretary
1T has been predicted by some OF
the opponents OF capital punishment
in the state, says the Burlington Free
Press, that in case Mary Rogers case
fails before the United States supreme
court that such political pressure will
be brought to bear on Gov. Bell that
he will grant her another reprieve and
allow her case 10 come before the next
legislature. This would not be con-
sistent with Gov. Bells past history.
His political capital has been made
not by evading public duty but
by performing it. His political un-
doing was freely predicted while be
was enforcing the law relating to tu-
berculosis among cattle. but he is To-
day politically successful. In view OF
his record, the public can feel assured
that Vermont's present governor will
not allow political ambition to inter-
fere with the performance OF public
duty as he understands it,"
This means, of course, that the gov
ernor has political ambition, and peo-
pie generally understand as much now.
BY the way, he has right to have.

Considerable is being said concern
ing the low rate of wages paid, on the
average, TO teachers in our public
schools. Seven dollars week is the
average salary for Vermont lady
teachers. This seems ridiculously
small, but the explanation is very
simple. 1t is merely a matter of sup
ply and demand. Towns and graded
schools OF course 60 not pay more
than is asked for teachers. If they
can secure them for seven dollars they
do not pay ten. The reason must be
that the teacher market is quite well
supplied, and when we see the scores
OF girls that our normal and high
schools are turning out every year,
many of whom show a disinclination
TO take up manual labor, who must
bridge over a few years until they are
carried off in matrimony, it is not hard
to understand why the quotation on
teachers wages rules low.
