PRESS SUSTAINS THE GOVERNOR

All the leading republican papers of
the state sustain Governor Mead in
the position he has taken regarding
the removal Of the guards accused of
fraudulent registration, but all of them
say the governor should have struck
higher with his axe. The Tacoma
Ledger says:
ut is reported that Warden KEGS is
being counseled to defy the order of
the governor directing the dismissal of
the offenders. Warden KEGS cannot
heed such advice without making it
imperative for the governor to remove
him. He may deserve dismissal for his
participation, if proved, in the illegal
registration of the guards. He cannot
condone the offense nor undertake to
shield the guards without removing all
doubt as to his own criminality.
Judge Brents of the superior court
declared with emphasis that the
guards mad perpetrated an amazing
fraud, but found that charge of per-
jury would not lie because the regis
tration oaths were improperly admin
istered. A false statement signed and
sworn to ought to be sufficient on it's
face to convict the deponent of per-
jury, and a judge of the superior court
should not be on the lookout for a
loophole of escape for the culprits. If
the governor follows up his determina-
ton to purify the politics of this state
he should remove from office everyone
concerned in the offense, or who seeks
to condone it, whatever position he
holds. A shield of technicalities
should not be raised to protect any
body.
Every employe of the state who
has the intelligence and ability to fill
any position in the service is capable
Of understanding the registration and
election laws. A violation of any pro-
vision or any failure to enforce these
laws should invite peremptory dis
missal from office"

Bullets Stop Scorchers.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Ordering his
policemen to shoot the tires of all
"scorching" autos, Colonel Alfred S.
Frost, the Evanston chief of police,
threw down the gauntlet to the Chi
cago Automobile club yesterday.
''The autoists may nave money back
of them" he said, but they will find
they will find they can't buy the

The chief added two men more to
the auto squad. Then he repeated MS

A SHAKY EMPIRE.

The federation of the British en-
pire with England as the predominant
power is severely handled by a re-
cent issue of the Australian edition
of the British Review of Reviews by
an editor, Mr.. James Esmond, pro-
prietor Of the Sydney Bulletin.
Mr.. Esmond discusses two PROPOSE
lions: % that the present imperial
system is likely to fall apart at any
time; CD that the chief obstacle in
the way of the formation of more
permanent system is the United King
dom itself. England, he shows. has
ever held a narrow policy toward the
colonies and the colonists. In the first
place, the Englishman, who leaves
home and pushes the flag of his coun-
try farther into the wilderness in
stead of having the gratitude and
the praise of the mother country, is
actually looked down upon by the
aggregate cneesemonger' who stayed
at home. He becomes property and
the stay at-home is his owner. Before
he went out into the colonies ne had
parliamentary vote. He might rise

A SERIOUS QUESTION.
Mountain Streams Drying Up and

From an authentic source it is
learned that the question of water for
stock and irrigation purposes is likely
to be serious one.
Innumerable springs especially in
the mountains, that have never been
known to go dry before are COM
pletely dried up and stockmen whose
herds range in the mountains are

RUSSIAN FINANCE.

Although direct European advices
fail to confirm it, and semi official de-
malls are not wanting, there is strong
impression upon the eastern financial
mind that Russia is trying to bor-
row money in America. Last week,
when Sergius White, the peace envoy,
dropped into Wall street it was quite
the natural thing that rumor should
come out of the opening of negotia-
tons with New York banking houses,
and the hearty assurance of Gregory
Wilenkin, Russian financial agent
resident in New York, that M. Whites
visit was in the nature of a personal
call upon fnanciers with whom,
through virtue of his former fiscal po-
sition at home, he had long been ac-
quainted, failed to convince.
There were some other occurrences
of date prior to this Wall street visit
financier that favor the view that Rus
STA is seeking loan
One of these worthy of note is the
recent publication in the Wall street
Journal of a series of ably written
articles by Alex Del Mar, giving
facts and figures not generally known
concerning the resources of Russia,
and making a showing very favorable
to Russian credit, with reference to
her ability to make good in the
long run.
1t may be that the appearance of
these articles had nothing to do with
the later visit of NJ. White to the fl
nancial district, but many will think
otherwise.
Mr.. Del Mar began his series by go
ing down to the roots and pointing
out that Russia has 14O,0OO,O0O peo-
pie, 10000, 900 of them in rural dis
tricts; that in a year European Rus
STA produces 1000, 100000 bushels of
grain of all kinds, and 600,000,000 bu-
Shells of potatoes, and that aside from
this the commercial crops of cotton,
tobacco, flax, hemp and other pro-
ducts are alone able to support the
fiscal burdens of the empire. Half
the equine race of the world is in
Russia-35, 100000 horses; also 49,
900 900 cattle, 10000, 900 sheep and So
600, 900 swine. Her gold mines pro-
duce $25,00O,000 annually, and plati-
mum, quicksilver. naphtha and copper
yield heavily, with 100000 tons of
coal and 100000 tons of iron a year.
She has 10000 manufacturing estab-
lishments, with 100000 artisans.
whose average annual production per
man has a value Of over 500, or
about $500, oO0,o00 in all. Her home
industries employ 100000 people
and annually produce $1,000, 100000 as
a basis for Russian taxation, and, ris-
ing from the level of the commoner
details, he takes up the more technical
questions of governmental revenue
relative to expenditure, and finds that
even with the national debt now aug

and Of Bismarck! is the aggrandize-
ment of Imperial Germany to be
turned into a peace propaganda that
will leave nothing to arms anywhere,
and by the bristling and belligerent

startled and diverted if our own Col
onel Of the Rough Riders betook nim-
self to retreat and monastic med
itations. Both gentlemen are becom-
ing exceedingly tame and proper these
days, and there is no telling what
may happen to either of them.

to the top in politics; he might attain
command in the army; he certainly
did enjoy all the advantages of being
a British subject. But the moment he
shows his ambition for the great
ness of his country by taking up
part of the wilderness in the name
of the king he loses at once all of those
rights. He becomes a member of
subordinate race. If he dwelt in
the name of the king he lost at once
all of those rights. He becomes
a member of a subordinate race. If
he dwelt in a civilized part of the en-
pire and lived under a parliamentary
government, it was one subordinate to
the imperial parliament and one whose
acts were apt to be vetoed without
rhyme or reason by the colonial min
lister. If his personal status is bad
Mr.. Esmand shows that mis- trade re-
lations are worse. England does
nothing for her colonies but sell to
them. Whatever they sell to her she
makes an extra profit upon, because it
must be carried in imperial ships. The
matter of tariff preference he shows
is constantly viewed by the English
man from the wrong point of view.
The Englishman conceives that it is
the colonists' duty to give England
preference; he never seems to think
colonies a preference. Of course,
the only way John Bull could give
Australia for example, a preference,
would be to put a duty on her i'm
ports from the United States which
compete with those of the colony. John
Bull will never do this, but he turns
about and asks Australia, which has
tariff, to give him a lower rate of
duty than she gives Belgium, Chilli
France and other countries which are
her best customers, and take the
chance Of their Immediately retaliating.
The attempt to create a tariff system
for an empire which is not an en-
pire Immediately results in a hopeless
muddle
There are other difficulties such as
the labor question and the matter
of imperial defense which make the
problem doubly difficult. Mr.. Es-
mond intimates that none of these diff
ficulties can be solved by stay-at
home Englishman VIII believes he
conferred a favor on his younger
brother by permitting him to emigrate
into the wilderness to make his for
tune or to die of starvation. The
younger brother must nave his citi-
zenship restored, must have a chance
at the honors of the empire, must see
the accounts for imperial defense and
must have a hand in the legislation
of the United Kingdom. When these
things are done Mr.. Esmand sees a
chance for an emuire which will stand
against the world, though even then
he believes the loyalty of the black
races over which England rules is on
ly coexistent with the continuance Of
British prestige.

Central Massachusetts.

Massa chusetts boasts of a shore
section which is known not only
throughout the United States but
throughout the civilized world. The
North Shore of Massachusetts con-
tains such famous resorts as Marble
head, Swampscott, Salem. Beverly.
Clifton, Devereaux. Manchester-b y
the-sea, Rockport, Montserrat and
Gloucester; but this is not all, rather
but a small portion of the vacation
grounds OF the Bay State. Central
Massachusetts, delightful region, is
noted for It's healthful climate. In
fact, sucn towns as Jefferson, Rut-
land, Barre, etc., are recognized by
the medlcal profession as among the
most healthful resorts in the country,
especially for persons suffering with
any pulmonary affection. The hotel
accommodations are excellent and
because OF It's proximity to the city,
it is favorite region for business men
desiring summer homes.
The Deert1eld Valley and that por-
ton OF western Massachusetts among
the Hoosac Mountains are regions
where landscape beauty and delicious
atmosphere are the attributes, Per-
sons desiring full information con-
corning the resorts of Massachusetts

Regarding the Arrest at Yestmore.
The reports published in Vermont
papers, including the MONITOR, last
week, about the arrest of Frank
Pronchie at Westmore, wanted for the
burglary of post-ofiioe and B. & N.
railroad station and for whom a snug
reward was offered by the govern
ment, were somewhat misleading as
to where credit for the capture was
due, as has since been learned. The
real credit for the arrest lies with
Sheriff Post of Irasburg and Sheriff
| Stannard of Barton Landing, who
were working entirely independent of
Sheriff Worthen, whose name was SO
conspicuous in previous reports.
Post was the first to get clew of
where Pronchie was working and
Stannard with this information was
the one who made the actual arrest.
Sheriffs Post and Stannard, under
whose charge the prisoner was, later
drove in company with Sheriff
| Worthen to where the hidden
mileages were in Danville.

Should Mrs. Rogers be hung? and
should capital punishment be abol-
ished? are two questions people dis
cuss as IL they were one and the same.
In fact they are widely different ques-
tions. Mrs. Rogers committed her
horrible crime at q time when the
penalty of the law for murder in the
first degree was hanging. She has
been given full and far trial with
every possible chance the law affords
and we believe the majority of the
people agree with Gov. Bell in saying
that the law shall take it's course. 1t
would indeed be poor government
that would set aside law of ages to a
time when it is fancied legislators
would change that law. But coming
to the question of capital punishment
probably the people as whole desire
it's adjustment. If so then let the
next legislature abolish it and let the
law substituted at that time be car
ried out as faithfully as Gov. Bell i;
carrying out the present one.

Peace Being Considered

Through the initiative of President
Roosevelt, definite steps toward peaee
between Japan and Russia have been
taken. Early last week the president
addressed an Identical note to hotb
powers, urging them, for their own
sakes, as well as that of humanity at
at large, to end the struggle. He sup-
pested that the two governments ne
gotiate directly, without the media
ton or participation of other powers
and offered his good will in the fur-
therance OF any plans toward peace
they might undertake. It is well un-
derstood that, in an informal way.
both powers had previously been ap-
preached, and had signifiad a willing
ness to receive such a communication
and it is supposed that Emperor Will
lam of Germany, the cabinets of
France and Great Britain, had also IA
vored the step, recognizing that the
president of the United States was in
position to do this better than the
representative of any other power.
To this suggestion, both Japan and
Russia have made favorable response.
Each has agreed TO name .plenipoten-
tiaries, who are to meet and outline
the peace terms. Russia retains the
right to accept or reject the terms of
Japan when they are made known.
In the meantime an armistice will
doubtless be declared, though tina
point has not yet been reached. The
place of meeting has been officially
announced as Washington.
A few brushes between detachments
of the two armies in Manchuria are
reported with the Japanese the gain
ers.

The use of profane language in pub
tic places is one of the most common
offenses in Rutland, as it is in every
other place. II seems to be increas-
ingiLstead of diminishing, as it should
do with our spreading education and
refment, Even in public places
which one would suppose are patron
lied by gentlemen and ladies only,
oaths loudly uttered are too Otter
heard. The person who shocks WON
en- and decent men with his profan-
ity ought to be beaten until some idea
of his offense is ground into his dull
brain. But this is impracticable when
those he has offended are in the COM
pany of ladies, and thus he generally
escapes the punishment he deserves.
But it ought to be possible to turn
such offenders over to a policeman
and have them locked up and heav-
lily lined. If this course were taken
news of it would soon spread through
the community and the men who
make a practice of polluting the at
mosphere with their oaths would curb
themselves to some extent, at least.
The laws of Vermont are ample to
cover this offense, if they are only
enforced.-Rutland News.

Another unsavory mess in the states
prison, and this under the new man
agement. A woman reporter for a
Boston yellow journal had story re-
Gently of an alleged interview with
Mary Rogers, among other things
claiming to have informed her of the
feprieye from Governor Bell. 1t bore
the earmarks of being fake and
every one would be glad to know that
is. the case. Later it was charged
that the woman who wrote the story
had a "pull' through relationship
withthe states attorney of Windsor
county and really was allowed to in
terview the condemned woman. The
st. Adams Messenger has vigorously
and repeatedly asked the prison SUI
perintendent to explain the matter.
The fact that this pertinent request
has up to this writing been ignored
leads to the suspicion that the report
er's claim of visiting Mrs. Rogers IL
true. The public has right to know
the facts and Superintendent Lowell
is the man who should have spoken
up, even before this time. 1t is not
too late now.-Northfield News.
