Everybody Should Vote.

EDITOR ExAMINER!-The time for re-
Clustering has nearly expired to entitle
the people to vote ON the question
whether the Montpelier Irrigation dis
trict shall he bonded far the sum OF
S98, 100000. | find that there is very
little interest being taken in the pro-
position. Up to the present time there
are only a few registered. This is a
question that should be considered by
all the land owners in the district. If
they think that there will be enough
good derived from the building of this
canal to obligate themselves to pay the
amount of 1913, 600. 90. they should vote
yes; if not, they should vote, no. Every
land owner should register and vote
according to his conviction, and not let
this question be decided by a few.
There were 30 votes cast for the organi-
cation of the District, and 16 votes cast
for the elections of directors This
showing does not look good, considering
the amount to be invested in this enter
prise, out Of a population of about 800
land owners that should be interested
in this canal.

Tolstoy to the Gar

Hc lIlltS PttDliSHSo a - "'''
lation of a letter Of Leo Count Tolstoy
to the Gar, written when Count Tolstoy
believed himself to be dying.
Addressing the Car as Dear Bro
ther," Count Tolstoy begins by saying
that he does not wish to die without tell
ing the emperor what he thinks of his
course as a ruler, and pointing out what
great evils may come to him and his peo-
pie, but how he might make Russia pros
porous and happy if he would discard au-
tocracy and all its cruelties and recog-
nize the fact that one can sooner arrest
the flow of a great river than stop that
incessant progressive movement which is
established by God.
Count Tolstoy blames the emperor's
advisers, whose ''strenuous and cruel act
ivty is arresting the eternal progress OF
mankind.' He tells the Car how his
people groan under oppression and hate
the oppressor, and warns him not to be
misled by the little cotere surrounding
him by believing the Russian people are
devoted to him.
''The autocracy.' says Count Tolstoy,
is an outgrown form of government,
which may answer the demands of ii peo-
pie somewhere in Central America apart
from the whole world. but not the de-
nlands of the Russian people, which is
growing ever more enlightened by the
enlightenment common to the whole
world, and, therefore. it is possible to
maintain this form of government and
the orthodoxy connected with it only by
violence, special control. arbitrary exile
ments, executions, religious prosecutions
prohibition of books and papers, distor-
ton of education and in general every
kind Of bad, cruel deeds.
Count Tostoy sets forth the desires
of the Russian people as:
'First-The working people desire to
be delivered from special laws which
place them in the position of pariah,
deprived of all the rights of other cit-
ZcnS.
Second-The desire freedom of re
moval from place to place, freedom of
education, freedom Of conscience and,
above all, freedom in the use of land.
Then comes strong appeal to the
Gar to think earnestly and prayerfully
as to his duty in the premises.
''Dear Brother says Tolstoy, in the
course Of his appeal, you have but one
life in this world, and can spend it pain
fully in futile efforts to arrest the God
ordained progress of mankind, evil to
good, darkness to light; or you may, en-
tering into the needs and desires of the
people and devoting your life to their
satisfaction, peacefully and joyfully

No two Of our children are precisely
alike. In their budding natures we may
discern what they are going to be. The
child who stops to look at every pebble,
to pick every flower, who brings her
mother a bouquet and shows skill in
the blending of colors and some knowl-
edge of color effect, may one day be a
botanist or an artist. To check her for
littering the house with weeds and rub
bish is not only unkind, but may do her
harm in diverting her from pursuits to

Important officials.

Whether the officers mentioned by
Mr.. Whinton in his History of An.
trim" New hampshire regarded their
position seriously and lived up to their
official dignity is not told. 1t is certain
that the small boys would have hailed
the opportunity of exercising such
functions with glee and would have
discharged their duties with vigor and
alacrity.
In 1898 the town of Antrim officially
appointed three responsible persons to
fill the position Of dog PETERS. 1t was
their duty to sit near the meeting house
door and to pelt, drive away or cane
any dogs that dared to enter the sa-
cred edifce. In the official records
of the town are found votes Of subse-

of the dog PETERS.

was while he was living there that the
incident occurred which is related be-

He was awakened one night by his
wife, who told him she thought there
were burglars in the house. The squire
put IN his dressing gown and went
downstairs. In the back hall he found
a rough looking man trying to open a
door that led into the back yard.

and was pulling it with all his might.
