How to Secure a Public Library.

An effort is being made to IN
crease the number of libraries in
Vermont. Massachusetts has IL
brary for every town, it should be 80
in this state. We have done much in
the past ten years, but a hundred
towns are still without free public
libraries, eleven of these are in Or
leans county. Can not something be
done?
If town wishes to take advantage
of state aid articles must be inserted
in the warning for March meeting to
see If the town will elect a board Of
library trustees, and to see what sum,
if any, the town will appropriate for
the maintenance of free public
library.
If the conditions are complied with,
application nay be made through the
Library Commission to the state,
which will furnish hundred dollars
worth of new books for foundation.
Application blanks and reports of
the commission which give more de-
tailed information may be procured
from the State Library Commission.
Immediate action is necessary to
secure results this year.

In strange connection with the fore
going statement we find that the
teachers of our county are paid the
smallest wages on an average OF any
in the state. This fact is to be con-
demned as strongly as the above is to
be commended. The average wages
of the teachers in this county for the
past year have been but 1913 per
week. One other couuUy paid on an
average $500 and no other palo

The Monitor wonders if Euclid N.
Cobb of Nom mouth, ILL.,, employed by
the state board of agriculture as a
lecturer at farmers meetings, enjoyed
his ride out of the state as much as he
anticipated when he said the only
good thing about Vermont was that
you could ride out of the state for two
cents mile. We venture to say that
Cobb would have ridden out of the
state for nothing had he said a few
more slanderous things about Yer
mont. We don't need any of
Illinois Cobbs.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional re medles. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hal1's Catarrh cure. Send
for circulars, free.

was completed for the present and an
adjournment was taken. The next
meeting will be in March in Water
bury or Mon tpelier The greater
part of the time was passed in the ex-
animation of DR.. w. D. Berry, former
pathologist and clinical director at
the hospital. His testimony brought
out several interesting points, among
them being the fact that the milk was
SKINNED, that many people were en-
tertaiued at the States expense, the
institution being styled free State
hotel. The question of coal was also
discussed at some length.
Cobb Is Bounced.
While Euclid N. Cobb of Monmouth,
ILL.,, was being carted about by the state
board of agriculture and advertised
as principal speaker at farmers meet
ings, he was writing home letters to
Illinois papers, telling them among
other things that Vermont is a coun-
try of waste lands, that it is rough
and unadapted to raising anything
but deer and rabbits, and that the
principal thing the state is good for is
that one can ride out it for two cents
a mile. Chairman George Aitkin of
Woodstock got hold of the papers
and Immediately bounced Cobb, who
acknowledged he wrote the letters,
but excused himself on the grounds
he did not suppose they would be
published. Gov. Bell said to-day
that he was satisfied with the prompt
action of Mr.. Aitkin, who told him
that Cobb was disappointment as a
speaker, and that the state board
was glad of the chance to break their
contract as they had him hired for a
month.

The country merchant sees dis
astrous results ahead should the
proposed parcel post bill pass that is
now before congress. The bill pro-
vides that parcels to the weight of
ten pounds may be carried through
the mails for twenty-five cents. The
competition of the cheap mail order
houses is sharp enough now but
should this bill pass it would become
still more strenuous.

Lew Wallace Dead.

Gen. Lew Wallace, author, former
American minister to Turkey and
veteran of the Mexican and Civil
wars, died Feb. 18th, at his home in
Charlottesville, Ind, aged rs years.
The health of General Wallace had
been waning for several years and for
months it had been known generally
that bis vigorous constitution could
not much longer withstand the raw
ages of wasting disease. For more
than a year he has been unable to
properly assimilate food and this, to-
gether with his extreme age, made
more difficult his fight against death.
At no time has he ever confessed his
belief that the end was near, and his
rugged constitution and remarkable
vitality have been responsible for
prolonging his life.
Tilt with the Senate.
The Senate recently administered
what is regarded as rebuke to Pres
ldent Roosevelt, He had submitted
general arbitration treaties negoti-
ated With eight different European
governments for ratification. There
was objection to the provision of the
treaties giving the administration tha
right to submit various matters for
adjustment under the general scheme
by agreement" which meant with
out consulting the senate. The pres
ident then addressed a curt letter IN
Senator Cullom in which he set forth
his views, and announced that if the
change was made he should regard
the treaties as virtually efeated, and
would not present them to the other
governments His course provoked
the senators, including Foraker.
Lodge and other of his strong friends
and admirers, who stood up for the
senate's prerogative, and the change
in wording was made by vote of Sc
to 9, the nine being all republicans.
The amended treaties will not be pre-
scented.

1meut that we regret cannot be read
ay every voter in the state. 1t is full
of helpful and interesting reports and
statistics. The report is encouraging
and shows that we are maintaining

saws: "More than one half of the
pupils OF Vermont are taught in ex-
,celIent schools, one fourth in fairly
good schools, and less than one fourth
attend inferior schools" In follow
ing the report through carefully

The entire country has been kept
IN hubbub over Mrs. Mary Rog ers of
Vermont and Mrs. Kate Edwards of
Pennsylvania, both convicted hus
band killers. The public has been
served with a lot of sentimental rot
about the Nervousness of capital pun
lshment, particularly in the case of a
woman. One would think there never
could. be another execution in the
73nited States, and yet two convicted
wife 'tnurderers were hanged Friday,
and there was hardly ripple. Why
this Partially on the part of the dear
crank in favor of the husband MUIR
derers? Augustus L. Shaffer was
hanged in the United States Jail in
Washington, D. c., and j. Samuel
McCue, a former mayor of Char
lottesville, Va, was hanged in Char
lottesville. Here were two men CT
education and considerable promi-
nence; both n ordered their wives
because of insane jealousy; both bore
good regulations prior to the MUIR
ders; both deeply repented their rash
acts; both persisted on the gallows
because they wore pants instead of

In another column we take from
the Vermonter an article "The Old
Stone House" written by Rev. c. E.
Ordway, son of G. B. Ordway of Bar
ton Landing. The sketch is copied
almost entire and will be of great in
terest to every citizen of Orleans
county. To the older inhabitants it
recalls pleasant memories of the past
when Bloomington was one of the
largest towns in the county and when
this old structure was in actual use as
a boarding hall. To the younger
generation the article is valuable as a
chapter in Orleans County history.

Tt,s an abomination to the map

It's an abomination to the maple
sugar makers of Vermont to have
the city merchants advertise "New
Pure Vermont Maple Sugar. for sale
at this time of the year. Maple trees
will not be tapped for three weeks or
month yet. Two things the city
users of maple sugar must learn
before they can hope to get new and
pure maple sugar: first, that sugar
cannot be made here before the first
or middle of March at the earliest;
and second, that to be pure maple
sugar need not be black or even dark
to any degree. With modern ap-
sparatus pure maple sugar can be
made nearly white. The sugar
makers of Vermont should organize
more thoroughly and stamp out the
fraud whereby tons of adulterated
maple sugar and sy rup are sold every
year. ',...
