The Fair Haven Era seems to see,
in what it calls a trifling with laws In
the recent legal moves resulting in a
third reprieve for Mrs. Rogers. an ex-
cuse for taking the law into ones
own hands and becoming a law unto
ones self" Even If 1t were true that
our laws are purposely left "as full
of holes as a colander" so that Grim

ourselves to lawlessness and disorder.

sharpers Work the Witness Fee.
MONTPELIER Journal

A lawyer said the other day that he
had noticed that witnesses in some OF
the back towns seemed to be anxious
to be summoned into court this year.
They look wise until they are sub
poenaed and when they get into court
give mighty poor measure for SO. In
other words he believed the 81 witness
fee was proving to be financial in
ducement for many to testify. They
were getting wise to the fact that II
was a pretty good thing to get a
days pay without shoveling for 1t.
The old law allowed 81. It will be
remembered that the 81 witness fee
bill was the first one vetoed by the
governor at the last session of the
legislature and that 1t was passed
over his veto.

On a Rutland railroad train Monday

tells during the summer vacation. The
pay of a good many Vermont school
teachers is so small that they have to
work out somewhere during the sum-
mer or go home and board with the
old folks.-Bennington Banner.
1t will not hurt them to work during
the summer. and when they do so
from choice it is a credit to them.
Few workers in other fields are paid
we'll enough so that they could afford
to loaf two months during the year,
and there is no reason why they
should be. unless they give better
service than is generally obtained.
we do not think, however. that the
wages in some of the country schools
are such as to invite good service.

Murderess Made cat'spaw Of Mercy,
TRurlinpton Free press1

What the lawyers for the murderess
claim is that this woman, who was
able to plan the crime so carefully,
was not responsible for her acts and
that even If she was responsible, tech
meal mistakes were made In connec-
ton with the trial and sentence OF the
woman To suffer capital punishment.
They besought the governor to grant
her a reprieve. and when this appeal
was granted they turned about ana
claimed that the woman could not be
executed without receiving q new
sentence. In point of fact whatever
reflection upon our state courts has
arisen In this connection has resulted
| from concessions to the womans at
torneys, made in order that no one
could claim that she had not been
granted every opportunity TO secure
justice. Ii the question now
raised In the federal court should be
decided adversely 10 the state, II
would seem TO involve the question
whether any person charged with
murder can be successfully punished
so long as our state methods and sys-
tenn of judicial procedure remain as at
present. So long as no county save
Washington county has a term of the
supreme court; and so long as present
conditions continue as regards the ju-
risdiction of our state supreme court.
solitary confinement in the peniten-
tiary pending the consideration of ap-
peals in murder cases and the possible
necessity of a new sentence following
reprieve, questions similar to those
successfully employed to secure a
hearing in the federal courts. can be
resorted to in all probability In con-
nection with every murder case that
comes up in our state. Indeed. 1t Is
not impossible that in the event of a
decision i'm the United states supreme
court adverse TO Vermont's judicial
methods, similar questions may be
raised in connection with the cases OF
persons already serving terms in
states prison for murder in the lesser
degree, manslaugter and other crimes
of this character This situation Is
all the more noteworthy in view OF
the fact that to all appearances Gov.
Bell had to choose between granting Il
further reprieve and allowing the
murderess to pass out from state ju-
risdiction and into the custody of the
federal authorities. In view of these
and other possibilities that might be
pointed out. the outcome of this test
will be awaited with no small degree
of interest not only in Vermont. but
in legal and judicial circles through
out the country.

The speed of the Twentieth Century

Whether it is ever right for the
state legally to kill a person who has
Illegally killed another. is a question
entirely foreign to the case of Mrs.
Rogers A state which adopts cap
ital punishment must be prepared TO
enforce the law regardless of sex.
The law knows the person who pre-
meditately kills another as a murder
err 1t recognizes no difference be-
tween a murderer and a murderess.
