Here is a eorker from West Brooksville,
and when you think Of the long, cold, and
hard winter we have had, 1t will appear
phenomenal. The stage driver has route
twenty eight miles long. During ell the
heavy snowstorms and the soft spell and
thsws-the gossiper doesn't remenb Der any
thaws or bare ground, bat there must
have been one sometime in the dim past
this driver has not missed a trip. Just
think CT this, readers. With snow so
deep out 10 the country that occupants OF
farm houses have to shovel the snow from
arouud their chimney tops osiore a fire
can be built. Tnts stage driver must use
a flying machine. But hers comes an old
man seventy eight years old, James S.
Douglass, who owns a store one half mile
frors his home. During sli this winter
the store has not been closed single day,
and Mr.. Douglass has been I'm attendance
every day, walking the halt mile to and
from his home five times day.

City Finances.

The printed report of the city
government fer the fiscal year 1904
Has been issued. 1t shows that the
avcwed purpose of the present ad-
minis'raiion to force the payment of
back taxes, and make such collections
provide for expenditures that might
prove necessary beyond actual appro-
rsiaiions, has been persisted in, and
with fairly good results.
Eut four transfers have been made
from the Incorporated money fund
81 900 to the contingent, s20s to the
highway, 1888 to the library, and
g. 10 to the State road. All other ex-
penditures beyond appropriations
kave been met mainly from old
balances-a few small sums, however,
coming from other sources.
A strong effort has been made
throughout the year to collect back
taxes; Yet there remains total of
Sac, $50 30 back of 1904 still uncol-
iec,ed. Adding to this the $40, $40 50
q 1904 taxes uncollected, we have
total of s2T, 041.5s, or only s275.16
lees than The total of uncolleeted
taxes ear ago.
So small reduction is accounted
for by The difficulties encountered in
the efforts to collect the 1904 tax.
The commitment was s43. 02l Is; un-
collected, S10,310.69. In 1903 the
commitment was s44, 256 81; uncol-
Iecsed. s9,03s. 81. This shows a larger
percentage of the tax collected in 1908
than in 1904.
Following is a statement of the
liabilities and assets, uncolleets d
taxes being included in the assets:

that the Pope claim has been urged
by men who ought to have known the
city did not need it and could not use
it profiitably as compared with other
claims situated better as to transporta-
ton facilities.
Viking Lawson. who left the coun-
ell chamber so suddenly on Monday
evening when the matter came up. can
IL he viii, tell the council all it wants
to know about that phase of the deal;
and there is a strong suspicion that one
or two members of the council could
corroborate Lawson in every detail if
they were so inclined
The Herald has yet to learn of any
good reason why the Pope claim should
be bought, even at one-fourth of the
price the special committee contem-
plated paying; and there are dozen
good reasons why the city should not
take that Pope claim, even as a gift.
Business sense. such as the mayor
showed in his veto of the Pope deal,
deserves support. and the councilman
who votes against the veto will pave
the way for a strong doubt as 70 his
business sense, to say nothing of his
regard for the city's business honesty.

ALLOW NOTHING TO WASTE.
Great Secret of Business Success Is
Finding a Use For Everything.
New York Commercial. }


one Of the great secrets Of business
success lies in avoiding waste, remarked
a successful business man the other day.
In this single fact lies the principal
mOurs, the Swifts, the Standard Oil com
pany. the American Sugar Refining. COM
panN and principally every other large
and successful industry.
Take the packing industry as an ex-
ample. Nothing is allowed to go to waste
The buttons that you wear on Your coat
are made out of blood of the cattle,
hogs and sheep Instead of allowing this
piOOG 10 60 TO waste il is gathered up,
oongealed and manufactured into buttons
Inc hoots of the cattle are manufactured
INTO combs and brushes. Glue, vaSeline
and dozens of other by-products are man
ufactuTed out OF the entrails and other
portions of the animals that at one. time
ent time these by-prodUcts furnish one of
the principal sources of revenue TO the
beef-packing companies
Take as another Illustration the STAN
dard OIL company: When this company
was first organized the volume of waste
IN the business Of refining oil was enOr-
nous. Crude oil was taken anG refined.
and the refined oil was practically the
only product. Everything else was al
lowed to go TO waste. The Standard OIL
company, however, began taxing this
waste and manufacturing it INTO by
products. 1t viii doubtless be a surprise
to many TO learn that the company today
has no less than thirty-two by-products.
The revenue derived from the sale of these
IS enormous Yet previous to the organ
izatlOn of the Standard Oil company
practically all of these be-products went
to waste.
The railroad industry furnishes anoth-
er illustration: The effort to econonnize
in small items OF expenditures and save
waste is the main object in most of the
enormous Investments That the railroad
have made during the last few years. The
number Of train miles run in 1909 was
S7b,VsO,VS2 II Is clear that a saving on
each of these train miles. although
amounting in Itself to but fraction Of a
cent, viii aggregate All enormous sum
10 of
train miles For instance suppose that
the railroads Of the country arc able
through improved operation TO save the
small sum OF only two cents per train
mile. This wOulC be equivalent OH the
S56.09O.OS0 train miles run in 1900 to a
total saving OF over Sl7.0O0.OO0 This is
equivalent to an annual dividend Of per
cent on. S625. .0GO. 1t is easy to under
stand how the right man. who can bring
about such a small saving in che cost OF
train mile. can demand salary of more
than SlG0 00G a year.

ADAMS SURE TO WIN.

4 s THE EVIDENCE in the contest
Il OF former Governor Peabody
against Governor AIva Adams of Colo
RADIO continues to come in it becomes
more and more apparent that there
was very much less fraud i'm Denver
last November than the early dis
patches indicate. The testimony to
this effect is by no means confined TO
Democratic witnesses who might, with
some show Of reason, be charged with
prejudice in favor OF the contestee.
Republican election officers and Re
publican citizens are testifyfng and
their evidence is overwhelmingly in
favor Of Governor Adams.
n Republican election judge. in a pre-
cinct in which gross frauds were
charged. testified that no frauds were
committed there. This Republican, by
the way. was secretary to the chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee Another witness swore that ne
personally knew forty-four out Of
siNty-fOur persons whose ballots were
pronounced fraudulent by experts en-
ployed by the contestants. Many wit
nesses have Identified their own bal
lots after those ballots had been. by
the experts, declared to be fraudulent.
The hearing is being conducted before
partisan committee made up of men
opposed to Governor Adams in politics,
INT there is little doubt that the re-
1T viii be in his favor. The evidence
is so clear that Mr. Adams was
honestly and fairly elected that even
Colorado craftsmanship will not be
stretched to the point of unseating him.
If the contestant were wise he would
ask for dismissal of the proceedings
and go back to private life with some
shadow of the esteem in which he was
once held by his fellow citizens. But
that is too much to expect from Pea
body.
incidentally the handwriting experts
who have testified in the case have
been shown to be either intellectual
courtesans. willing to prostitute their
talents to the highest bidder or they
are densely ignorant of the first princi-
pies of their science. They may take
either horn of the dilemma. just as they
individually please, but we DO not be-
lieve they viii be very comfortable in
any event They have been utterly
and entirely confounded.
Hereafter the testimony of a hand
writing expert in a Colorado court
viii be received with the utmost eau
ton

ON HANGING WOMEN.


YOU WERE the governor of a
L state and had the power to prevent
the hanging of woman who had been
legally condemned to die for COM
hitting a wilfuI. premcditated and
deliberate murder would you inter-
tere? That is rather a hard question
to answer, isn't IL? You would rather
not be placed in such position Yet
it is the position in which the governor
of Vermont now finds himself. The
woman is Mrs. Rogers. She muir
dered her husband in most cold
blooded fashion.
The jury that convicted her was
made UP entirely of men The judge
who sentenced her was man. The
supreme court. more men, refused 10
set aside the verdict Of the lower court.
Has the governor a moral right to
Interfere except on the ground of
newly discovered evidence, and no pre-
tence Of that sort is made? Yet the
governor. on the eve of the day set for
the execution, granted Mrs. Rogers a
reprieve until June , He does not
Give any real reason for his action If
he did, it would probably be that he
cannot bring himself to permit the
execution of a woman.
But should not this woman occupy
exactly the same standing as male
nurderers? Understand. the only
reason she killed her husband was that
she desired to marry another man.
She hated her husband without cause
and she cruelty and wantonly brought
about his death. There would be no
thought of reprieves or stays of execu-
ton If a man had committed such a
crime All that saves Mrs Rogers is
the fact that she is a woman.
At distance we may be inclined TO
think that this is carrying chivalry a
trihe too far. Would it not be better
to save our regard for the gentIer sex
for women who really deserve regard.
and, thank heaven. practically all of
them do. But We don't happen to be
the governor of Vermont, and. softly
in your ear, we are not a bit sorry for
it, either. It would be very hard for
any of US to withhold our hands if by
stretching them out we could save
the most undeserving of women
At the same time it is permitted us
to admire the courage of the twelve
sturdy Vermonters who forgot the
sex of The defendant and did what they
conceived TO be their stern duty.
