YELLOwJOURNAuSM AND MARY

Vermont has been getting its first close

as one promising a rich story and right

garbled or made out OF whole cloth, their
sole aim being 10 excite the people so that

That this deluge OF dangerous missiyes
has not been without effect It is useless 10
deny. Our governors and sheriffs are but
men of flesh and blood, with no desire
to invite assassination at the hands Of
some disordered brain.

A correspondent of one Of the yellow
journals sent to Vermont to cover the
Rogers case so far outdistanced his rivals
in mendacity as TO be in class by himself.
He faxed interviews with all the promi-
nent officials, including Gov. Bell, report
ing things said by them that we're never
even thought by them. After he had
atrociously lied day after day about the
governor, reporting among other things
that it was the governors intention to
witness the hanging, he one day APP
preached Bell and wanted to discuss the
question OF reprieve. II have nothing to
say to you, SIR said Bell, except this
that after we get through with Mrs. Rog-
ers we are going to leave the gallows up
for you !" Oddly enough, this SCOOP in
terview with Bell didn't appear in Hearst's

genuine.

Gov. B-ll finally did, and reprieve gives
Mrs. Rogers a four months lease of life.
The change of mind on Gov. Bells part is
hardly worth analyzing. We doubt il he

OF much value, but as the question had
been raised it was doubtless proper to give
the court a chance to consider it, and this
he has done. lie makes it clear that he

unless the court should grant a new trial
the law will take its course on the day
