WHO MAY WITNESS A HANGING

There has been considerable discus
sion and some severe criticism OF
Sheriff Peck OF Windsor county because
he failed to provide freely tickets of
admission to the second hanging of
Mrs. Rogers, especially to members OF
the Vermont press. II has been stated
that, angered by what some newspa-
pers had said in connection with his
course in this case, Sheriff Peck pro-
posed to "get even" by keeping all
newspaper reporters from the execu-
ton.
There is some misapprehension as to
the power OF the sheriff of Windsor
county to issue passes 10 those whose
tastes or whose ideas of their duty may
lead them to wish to be witnesses OF a
hanging.
Here is the only provision OF the
Vermont statutes bearing on the mat
ter-from Section 2009:-
'.He (the sheriff. shall request the
states attorney of the county and
twelve citizens, including a surgeon or
physician, and shall permit the counsel
of the prisoner, such clergyman as the
prisoner desires, and his relatives, TO
be present and such officers OF the
prison, deputies, constables and mill
tary guard as he deems best, and no
Others
So it seems the sheriff is not given
carte blanche TO admit as many per-
sons as he pleases. He can only adj
NIT twelve persons OF his own selec-
ton, aside from the officers and at
tendants otherwise stipulated. or the
twelve one must be a physician, the
others may be reporters or anyone else
the sheriff selects.
This close restriction, it is true, has
not been generally followed in spirit at
executions that have heretofore taken
place in Vermont. Witnesses have
been numerous. Possibly they have
been sworn in as deputies for the
occasion, we don't know about that.
Even at the FIRST hanging" of Mary
Rogers numerous passes were given
out, and reports OF scandal in eonnec-
ton Herewith are rife. II is said that
the reason why this was not repeated
at the second hanging is that Sheriff
Peck's attention was called to the stat
ute above quoted, and a gentle hint
dropped that its observance in spirit
would better conform to the purpose
TOR which ii was enacted.

might be enlarged good deal without
harm TO the citizenship. Certainly. II
the United States supreme court is to
be gibed at like this and made the butt
of cheap wit, what is there that is inn
mune from such ASSAULT The truth
is that labor unions have found the
courts bulwark across their path that
cannot be awed or browbeaten by a
show OF force. and they exhibit a re-
sentiment that reacts upon them, in the
public mind. which still accords some
measure Of authority, some degree of
respect, to the highest court in the
land.

Vermont caught tlashlight view OF
Thomas w. Lawson as he sped
through in his special car last week on
his way to tackle the Standard Oil oc-
topus in Kansas. Tom can give the
only p. T. points on advertising him
self and his wares. He announced
that he took this roundabout route TO
Kansas rather than run the risk of
bodily injury that he feared at the
hands OF agents OF the trusts in New
York. Then he telegraphed ahead to
all the jay newspapers along the route
that he was coming and would be dee
lighted to grasp the hand of the
moulder OF public opinion in each To-
cality. We didn't bite, but some who
did found Tom more profuse in pro-
fession than in performance. They
only caught glimpse of him through
glass door. being headed OFF by an
urbane, but impossible, secretary.
Tom is still amusing, but has ceased
to be real entertaining. II his object
is to become the Moses to lead the
people out from the bondage of the
trusts, he will hardly succeed in gain
ing their confidence, for he fingered
too long and fattened too visibly over
the fesh-pots himself.

Teachers are generally underpaid.
The compensation covers only part
OF the year and there are few occupa-
tons requiring as much preparation
and so great mental equipment that
pay less. One trouble with the situa-
ton is that while the market is over
stocked with teachers, few men or
women engage in teaching with the
purpose of making it permanent pro-
tession. Competent teachers who
stick to their profession receive a sal
airy that is at least reasonable.
- Montpelier Argus.
There is no more nerve-wearing,
brain-tiring work than teaching school
as it should be taught. As an offset.
teachers are allowed short hours in the
class room, with numerous holidays
and long vacations that no other
breadwinners enjoy. As to compensa-
ton, the Argus hits it about right.

Is the Herald prepared to 90 the
needful length OF forbidding sweet
cider p Ludlow Tribune.
No. Such an attempt would mis-
carry, for the reason that sweet cider
is not intoxicating. What we object
to is the discrimination that the pres
ent law extends in permitting the sale
of old, hard, jag-making cider by the
barrel, without leave or license from
the community that it offends. And
especially because it is difficult to
prove whether the sales are made by
the barrel, or in lesser quantities.

The mutiny in the Russian Black
Sea fleet that for a time promised to
serve as the nucleus tor a revolution
of magnitude, finally izzled out, the
insurgents surrendering their battle
ship and seeking escape through Rou-
mania. The trouble with starting a
successful revolution in Russia is not
the absence OF cause or of disposition,
but the constitutional lack of leader
ship that the Russian system for gener-
ations has taken care should be lack
ing among the people. There are
signs that even this stumbling block
will be removed ere long, though.

WATT FOUND GUILTY.
Wealthy EneIishman Charged With
 Having Hired Man to Kill Wife.

] London, December 2l.-The trial of Hugh Watt the former member of parliament.
 charged with melting hired agents to
 murder his divorced wife, Julia Watt. and Sir Reginald Beauchamp, ended to- day with verdict of guilty. Watt
 was sentenced to five years penal serv.- tude.
 The judge in summing up said 1t was the most extraordinary of modern times. Improbable as was the whole story he thought it was equally improbable that
 any could concoct and swear to sucn charges The question of the sanity
 of Watt had not been raised so the jury had nothing to do but find verdict of guilty or not guilty.
 The judge pointed out that the death
 of the former Mrs. Watt, would place Watt in exactly the position he desired,
 as it would enable him to legalize his
 marriage to Lady Violet Beauchamp.
 which at present was Illegal, because
 Mrs. Watt had declined to have her
 divorce made absolute. Her death would
 also annul the deed of settlement be-
 tween Watt and Mrs Watt, which was desired.
