the result is that far too few ever
acquire that knowledge of the Scrip
lures that all should have. regardless
of their belief. How many of our
young people, about completing their
education and taking up their life
work, have ever read the Bible
through, even in a cursory way !?
Popular knowledge of the Christian
cardinals is lamentably lacking, for
a public so well informed in other
things. The fault is in the instruction.
Yet it cannot be remedied-at least
now.

MRS. ROGERS WILL LIVE.

The new lease of lite given Mary
Rogers, as the result of the eleventh.
hour Intervention OF the federal court,
we accept as strong assurance that she
will never be hanged She will not
again be so near the gallows as she
was last week, in our opinion. We
cannot see or point out just how it will
be brought about, but we are confident
that by some means her tate will not
be determined until after another ses-
sion of the general assembly shall have
taken up the main issue.
Pretty soon, if no further legal en-
tanglements can be devised, we shall
begin to hear this argument Why
hang this woman and make her last
grim sacrifice to law which there is
every probability win be repealed
within the coming year? Why not at
least let her live on until the next leg
islatlve session shall settle the whole
questions What a cruel, inhuman act
1t would be to hang this woman, then
turn right around and repeal the hang
ing law
And if Gov. Bell does not desire to
add to his responsibility by extending
further reprieve, it wouldn't surprise
us bit to see him call a special ses-
sion Of the present legislature next
fan to consider the tate OF Mary Rog-
ers and the murder penalty.
Certainly, something ought to be
done to restore Vermont's standing as
commonwealth of stability. If we
had been treated to the Mary Rogers
episode from another state, we should
have smiled in derision, and, wrap
ping our mantle of self-complacency
about US, given thanks that we were
not as others were. Mary Rogers is a
murderess-admitted The Vermont
law prescribes hanging for murder
But when the two
are joined and it is proposed to hang
Mary Rogers flesh and blood some
how recoil, and subtle minds seek anv.
every, subtlety OF the law to save this
woman.
The spectacle would be amusing
We're il not so utterly serious. The
grim. cold, unyielding form OF law
gives way before the passion Of the
moment. At least so it appears. That
this woman may live on and not have
her life wrenched from her on the
scafold. men are seeking every new
and untried expedient to bring about.
The real point is not that she has
been unfairly tried, OF that a different
result would have followed III those
things Of which her counsel complain
had been done according to their con-
.ention. The sole purpose is delay
. gain time-to put il over until the
shall meet again.
And the attempt win succeed Mrs.
Rogers win not hang. Her lite NAV

The St. Adams Messenger contends
that the fact that Vermont, while OBJ
serving the mountain rule in the
choice of her senators, has secured
men at least as strong as New Hamp-
shire, which has not followed any
such rule, has nothing to do with the
main issue-that is, the wisdom or I'M
wisdom Of such a rule We cannot
agree. The only strong argument
that could be brought against a proper
division Of the places Of trust, honor
and responsibility as between the diff
ferent parts, localities or sides OF the
state-in itself custom generally OBJ
served, as a token of fairness, in all
walks OF lite, and in harmony with the
idea OF republican government-the
only objection, we say, to such a rule
is that it tends to put weak men into
office, when stronger men are avail
able We DO not believe ia following
the mountain rule or any other
rule, that far. But, as a matter OF
fact, and Judging from the record, we
think Vermont has Jared as well as
her sister state, and the object lesson
is not lost upon US.

Yermont's remaining naval hero, Adj
miral Clark, had been ''Deweyed" by
his brother, in a fool telegram, in
which he claimed the admirals author
ity for the request that in case Mary
Rogers was executed the picture of
the admiral which hangs in the state
capitol should be turned TO the wall.
A prompt disavowal came from Ad-
miral Clark, though he took occasion
to express personal aversion to capital
punishment, as he had a right to do.

The cider clause in the liquor law is
giving the officers considerable trouble
in its enforcement. Farmers are ex-
empted in a measure from the prohi-
billions of the act, being permitted to
sell fermented cider made from their
own apples, by the barrel, though they
may not sell in lesser quantities. A
good deal OF hard cider is being put
out, and when caught it is not always
an easy thing to prove that the sale
was in a quantity less than a barrel.
The cider clause is senseless sop to
the farmers, and has no basis in prin-
ciple or logic. Why should one kind
OF intoxicant be sold freely, in whole
sale lots, to the detriment OF COM
munities absolutely opposed to all
forms OF selling. while other intoxi-
cants cannot be sold save by licensees,
