the HONOR SYSTEM IN SCHOOL AND

"The Honor System" Is the name

OF the teaching force Of the school
or college whore it prevails, but
under the self-direction of the
pupils themselves, depending for

esprit de corps Of the young men
or boys who are undergoing the
ordeal. The system of super
intending proctors has always and
everywhere proved Intellectual. IL
those who take the examinations
are expected to cheat, and watchers
are set to prevent them, the more
adventurous aud less sensitive
among them, the lazy men who
are sharp.witted and those who
regard examinations as a more
official inquisitorial process at best,
invented for their discomfort, feel
that a sort III challenge has been
Hung out TO them to circumvent
their academic masters if they can,

with small conjunction. The
only tttsn that can prevent cheat.

pf the students themselves that it

New LIoht on SUGAR Making.

Luther o. Weeks, a former Vermonter.
now living in Worcester. Mass. having
read that G. n. Grimm. OF Rutland. had
made the discovery that sugar could be
made from sap drawn from maple trees
in the fall Of the year. wrote the editor
Of the Ludlow Tribune as follows:
las a former resident and enthusiastic
sugar maker of Vermont / wish to say
that this fact was well known to me more
than so years ago. In your last issue he
says. Learn how to tap the maple tree,
but he does not tell how. only by using
his spouts and by roaming the hole. Now
l long ago discovered that the selection
Of proper place on the tree in which to
bore the hole was OF more importance
than what kind Of metal spouts were used.
These directions apply only where a tree
has been tapped for many years. Never
tap in amongst old scars II possible to
avoid IL. Sap circulates around the tree
as well as up and down. The dead strip
extending up above and below an old bit
hole as wide as the hole is deep perverrs
the circulation. therefore tap above them
ALL or below them. The higher you tap
the sweeter the sap. Use either a Record
tin spout or Grimm's kind and bore a
large tree three inches. small ones less
and get at Il early-do not let the first
bright warm days Of March slip by A
sap day lost at that time will not return
until next year.
In 1871 from 400 trees / slgared off
500 pounds before my neighbors woke up.
In 1902 with 425 buckets my son and /
made 1850 pounds OF sugar from a proper
~ tapped lot in Athens. VT. The lot ad.

in among old scars and made less than
500 pounds. Another point-if the season

While walking along the south shore
Of Silver lake, near Akron. o.. recently,
George Lodge stumbled upon huge billet
of metal which was found to be silver
Making further investigation, he and his
brothers dug out % large biIlets Of an
average weight OF 100 pounds, making
over a ton in all. For many years the
late Henry WetmOre, who died at the age
OF 10 years, told a story how an encamp-
ment OF 500 Indians, shortly before the
battle OF Tippecanoe, left the vicinity Of
this lake in a single night, and 1t is
thought this silver was the treasure they
dumped into the water for safe keeping.
Charles W. Anderson, a prominent
New York state colored man, has been
appointed collector Of internal revenue
for the second district of his state. The
appointment is the result of a suggestion
of President Roosevelt, that some i'm
portant appointment in the north go to
a colored man. Southern senator's and
representatives have charged the Presi-
dent with not daring to make an appoint
ment in the north similar to the much
discussed Or. Crum case in South Caro-
lima, and AndersOn's assignment to the
revenue post is said to be a direct ans
wer to these southern critics.

The state court of appeals in Maryland
has decided that Senator Germans con-
stitutional amendment for the disfran-
chisement OF the negroes must be sub
mitted to the people for a vote.
Several prominent clergymen have pro-
tested against the acceptance Of the recent
gift Of 100000 by John ID. Rockefeller to
the American Board OF foreign missions.
They argue that receiving the money
earned in questionable ways gives tacit
approval to the methods used to obtain
the vast wealth and would lower the
standard OF morality. DR.. Washington

ticularly severe in his attacks on Mr.

IN OUR OWN STATE
DRUGGISTS LICENSES INCLUDED.
Must Be Counted in Number Permitted
to Sell Liquor.

Must Be Counted In Number Permitted
to Sell Liquor.
Owing to the fact that Atty. Gen. Fits
is Of the opinion that druggists and sixth
class licenses are to be reckoned as count
ing in the number Of licenses to which a
town or city Is entitled under the pro-
vision OF the liquor license law passed by
the last general assembly, there viii
probably be a brisk scramble for licenses
when the time for granting them arrives.
Attorney General Fits says:
The amended law Of 1904 provides
section Is. In towns that vote TO au-
thorize license for the sale Of intoxicating
liquor, the number OF licenses granted
shall not exceed one for each one thou
sand Of the population or the larger frac-
ton thereof, as ascertained by the last
preceding national census.
The law Of 1902 act No. 90, section 10,
expressly excluded licenses OF the fifth
and sixth classes from the number which
might be granted. as limited by section
is OF the act. This exception seems to
have been cut out in the draft Of the law
Of 1904 act No lis. the whole subject be-
ing covered by section is Of the new law
Said section is Of the new law Is clear
and explicit In limiting the number Of
authorized licenses and not in any way
distinguished between licenses Of the Diff
ferent classes or limit its provisions to
any particular class. II cannot be said
to be ambiguous in any way. / think the
word licenses as used in section Is, in
cludes licenses Of the fifth class. and that
licenses Of that class must be counted in
determining the number which may be
granted in any town or city"

The Majority Does Not Rule.
[St. Adams Messengerl

After six score and ter years, nearly
Vermont is still governed by the despotic
principle OF taxation without representa-
ton that the fathers had pluck enough to
rebel against when imposed from over
seas only to turn about and themselves
perpetuate Il to their children. No
amount Of sentimental reasoning about
the pastoral moral influence in legisla-
tion Of the small towns can avoid the one
great stubborn fact that the majority does
not rule in this state and that conse-
quently Vermont does not enjoy the re-
publican form Of government guaranteed
by the Constitution OF the United States
