The great plutocratic press! What |
q humbug it u.s. Only few months
ago the president appointed Panama
canal commission, and the press told |
the people that the appointees were
emfnently competent, that they each |
and all were really great men, espe- |
cially qualified to dig the canal. The
other day the president told these great /
men to resign or he would summarily |
remove them from Office. They all re-
signed and the president appointed a
new lot Now the press tells us that /
while the old lot were no good at
all and had done nothing but draw
their big salaries, this new lot is going
to build the canal right away, although
It has not yet found out whether it is
to be at sea level or have system OF
locks. What will we hear about that
canal six months from now?

The Independent has frequently
called attention to the fact that the
life of a warship costing six or eight
million dollars, is only ten or twelve
years. The keeping afloat of fifteen
or twenty of these warships with the
necessary auxiliary craft OF Golfers, !
torpedo boats, torpedo boat destroyers
and other craft will go a long ways in
keeping a nation as great as that OF
the United States in state OF pow
erty from over taxation. The other day
the British government sold at pub
lie auction $15,00O,000 worth of war
ships, built but few years ago. The
government received from the junk
dealers only $6S0,OOO for them. It is
queer sort of craftsmanship that
taxes the people to build five million
dollar warships by the score that must
go to the junk pile every decade. 1t
will keep the people toiling in the
fields, shops and mines and from their
labor they will get only bare exis-
tence.

pretty soon outside of the church.
Every preacher who has assaulted

ness has landed there sooner or later.
Among them, and they are distin-

Thomas. In all the ages, capital has
maintained an alliance with the
church and the preachers who have
fought greed and the decentralization OF
receiving gifts of stolen money have
been ostracised.

Saturdays Sloppy Weather.

Fridays snowstorm turned to rain
during the night and the weather OF
Saturday was literally the sloppiest
that has been experienced hereabouts
for many a day. On account Of the
depth of snow there were no cutters
to take care of the surface water
and the sidewalks acted In their
stead, making walking, except In
rubber boots, a practical impossible
ity. To make matters worse the
electric car line was tied up during
ter, owing to the snowplow's break
ing down early Saturday morning
The mixture of snow and rain, which
covered the roofs of the Main street
business blocks, made no little
trouble and in some cases did con-
siderable damage. Union block
leaked badly. flooding the office Of
DR.. C. R. Aldrich and a quantity of
goods was damaged in o. j. Pratt's
store. The roof of the Brooks house
also leaked considerably
The ice in MILESTONE brook vent
out about o'clock Saturday after
noon, and that stream was at freshet
height for a short time. A part of the
ice in the lower part of West river
was also broken up, but that above
the Brattleboro Gas Light company's
West Dummerston dam remained
intact. If West river should break
up with anything like the force that

narrow gauge bridge at West Dunn

trestle is taking the place of the iron
bridge which was washed out in last

Flax Raising for Farmers.

A.. J. Cote of Waltham, Mass, was
in town Tuesday and met members
of the board of trade and of Fail
Mountain grange. He is looking FOR
desirable location for a linseed oil
mill He wants exemption from
taxation but does not ask for a free
site and has no stock to sell. he
wants to put up a brick building lS2
x42 feet and three stories high ana
IA feet between floors. He has ma
chinery for such a building in Wal
than, Mass. The daily capacity of
the factory would be the produce
from $50 acres. In order to supply
the factory farmers would have TO
be interested in growing flax over
large part of Vermont and New
Hampshire.
Mr.. Cote said that the average
yield of flax seed per acre was 10
bushels and the present price per
bushel is s1S5, The seed would be
sowed the first of May one-half
bushel to the acre, one seed in a hill
and the hills is inches apart. About
the middle of June the entire crop
would be pulled with the roots by
hand, and loaded onto carts or cars
and sent to the factory where 21s
cents per pound would be paid Tor
seeds and fiber just as they come
from the field. The farmer would
net $50 or more per acre. The seed
would be used for making linseed oil
and the fiber for making pulp FOR
linen paper.
Mr.. Cote. until ten months ago,
was running mill in Waitham. AT
that time his supply of flax seed was
sold out to the standard Oil company
so he says, and now he cannot get
seed anywhere. He says there Is no
linseed oil now made in America, the
so-called linseed being made from
cotton seed. He expects TO return 10
Vermont in two or three weeks and
will visit several of the oranges

GEORGE C. AvERlLL CHOSEN.
To Succeed Col. Richards Bradley on
the Retreat Board of Trustees.

AT regular meeting OF the board
of trustees of the Brattleboro Re-
treat Tuesday George G.. Ayeri4,
president of the Vermont National
Dank, was unanimously elected d
member of the board TO fill the va
cancy occasioned by the death OF
Col Richards Bradley who had
served as trustee since 1875 The
original board appointed by Mrs.
Anna Marsh, the founder, was as
follows: Judge Samuel Clark, Dea-
con John Holbrook, Epaphroditus
Seymour and John c. Holbrook.
John Hoibrook was succeeded by
Judge Asa Keyes in 1888: John e.
Holbrook was succeeded by Nathan
B. Williston in 1899; Epaphroditus
Seymour was succeeded by j. Dorr
Bradley in 1S47; Judge Samuel
Clark was succeeded by Frederick
Holbrook In 1862: j. Dorr Bradley
was succeeded by Daniel Kellogg in
1868; Daniel Kellogg was succeeded
by Dr. William IL. Rockwell In 1874;
Judge Asa Keyes was succeeded by
Judge j. NJ. Tyler in 1874; and Ma
than b. Williston was succeeded by
Col. Richards Bradley in 1875.
Ex-Governor Holbrook, the veteran
chairman of the board, enjoys the
remarkable distinction of having
served in that capacity for a period
of SO years. 1t is also an interesting
fact that there have been but nine
vacancies in the board by death dur
Ing the past 20 years.
The following memorial was unan-
imously adopted and ordered spread
upon the records: That in the re-
moval by death of our associate, Col.
Richards Bradley, the members of the
board individually, and the Retreat
especially, have sustained great
and keenly felt loss. Following in
the footsteps of his father, j. Dorr
Bradley. esq, an honored and most
influential early member Of the
board, he was especially weH quail
fed and most happily constituted for
the important office, possessing a
peculiarly genial temperament, ur-
banity of manner and general good
will to men, together with sucn
marked versatility as to render him a
most charming and beloved official
while his warm interest in the pros
perity and well being of the Re
treat as an eleemosynary institution
and in the comfort and general well
fare of its patients and his practical
and all round good sense, and sound
Judgment in business affairs, made
him a most helpful member of the
board in its deliberations and Off
cial acts.
Resolved THAT the trustees re-
quest the secretary Of the board to
forward a copy Of this memorial to
Mrs. Bradley. together with their
warmest sympathy in the great be-
reavement she suffers in the death
of a beloved companion so perfect in
AL respects as such.

Moody's Schools Need Help.

w. r. Moody has issued an appeal
for financial help for the Northfield
schools which he declares are con-
fronted with crisis in the growing
work and expense of the institutions.
Last year a deficit of $4,000 was in
CURED and to meet this and current
expenses for the year ending July l.,
1905, 100000 must be raised. Twenty
thousand dollars of this has already
been pledged or donated, leaving
$50. 900 still to be raised. A few
thousand dollars will also be given
in sums of 81 to s25, but to meet the
greater portion of this amount Mr..
Moody is seeking % subscriptions OF
81 900. so subscriptions of $500, 100
subscriptions of 800, 100 subscrip-
tions of $50, 200 subscriptions of s25.
and 500 subscriptions of $40 Mr..
Moody thinks it would be a serious
calamity to the school to raise the
price for board and tuition so per
cent, as urged by some.

settIemen. Expected Next Week.

Although the time for signing the
new schedule presented by the Ma
tional Garment workers association
expired Tuesday. the Hooker, Corser
& Mitchell overall company is still
running as formerly. using the un-
ion label on all of its goods. This
is because the local concern and the
officers of the national union are still
negotiating in regard to a satisfac-
tory arrangement Of the question of
wages. and it is very probable that
the matter will be settled next week
without trouble. The employees OF
the Hooker, Corser & Mitchell fac
tory are aware that they receive very
good wages. and the majority OF
them are satisfied with the schedule
of last year. II is to be hoped.
therefore. that outside interests will
not interfere with an amicable agree

CAUGHT ON THE SHAFT.
Painful Accident in a Halifax Saw
Mill,

Clarence Judkins, n young man
about 20 years oil, who came from
ireenfledd few weeks ago to work
Tor w. Il, Warren of Halifax, was
seriously injured in Mr.. Wamen's
mill Saturday afternoon. He was
helping take off the big sawmill belt
from the main shaft when he was
caught in small belt which hung on
the shaft and wound up on the coup
ing His right leg was broken twice
between knee and hip and his thigh
was dislocated. Mr.. Warren was with
I'm three feet of him and seeing his
danger, threw himself against the
pulley and stopped the shaft before
Judkins had revolved many times.
Lucius Weatherhead who was near
by ran upstairs and shut the gate and
the men then extricated Judkins from
the machinery and carried him to Mr..
Warren's house. A team was sent
to Marlboro to telephone for medical
aid and DR.. Lynch of Brattleboro was
finally secured and reached Mr.. War
ren's with his driver about 7 D. m.
They had a difficult journey and got
a thorough wetting. The ice had
broken up in the river and jammed
into Mr.. Warren's millpond, water and
ice filling the road below Mr. Gates's
above the bridge so that the water
ran into the sleigh. 1t was dark and
when they drove into the flood the
water carried the horses against the
fence. 1t was at this point at the
time of the great freshet of 1859 that
the river cut a channel across and
carried away the barn.
1t is not thought that Mr. Judkins's
injuries are otherwise serious. The
fractured deg was set and although he
suffers considerable pain he seems to
be doing well. A trained nurse from
Brattleboro is caring for him.
