The rate war on the price of coal
in Rutland, which has been waged
since last June by the coal dealers
of that city, has been very inter
esting one especially for the coal
consumers in that vicinity. This
war was the result of an effort made
by the Combination Cash Store
company to sell coal at far profit
only instead of the ruinous prices
that the other dealers were asking
During the latter part of June they
were selling coal at the same price
at which the other dealers were sell
ling, but the former company agreed
to share the profits with it's custom
ers promising each one a rebate at
the end of the year. By this meth
cd they obtained the bulk OF the
coal trade in Rutland The other
dealers In the place put their prices
down, some selling as low as S.. so
a ton. Not being able to stiae the
trade of the Combination people
they appealed 10 the New England
Retail Coal Dealers association who
in turn probably brought their in
fuence to bear upon the wholesalers
association with the result that the
company that has been supplying
the Combination store has request
the latter to advance their selling
price of coal or the former will fill
no more orders which means that
thAy nnnst advance the price to the
schedule fixed by the other dealers
or they must go out of the coal bust
ness.
Is it any wonder that honest peo-
pie look with disfavor upon the coal
trust which assumes to dictate at
what price coal must be sold even
after it has passed out of their pos
session and ownership?

THE
Editorial Column.

New Jersey is being considerably
agitated over its duty of hanging
two women who have been SEN
fenced to death for murder. The
New York Times compares the sit
uation with Vermont's recent expert
ence in the following words:
" Though New Jersey is confront
ed by the painful task of e> ecuting
tbs own law in the case of two wom-
en- sentenced to death for murder, it
is not nearly as excited over the sit
uation as Vermont was recently with
half the reason. And yet New Jer-
sey doesn't like to hang women any
better than Vermont did. It is
simply going about the matter in an
entirely sensible manner, and is care
fully considering the question wheth-
er the time has not come 10 abolish
capt. al punishment altoge tier.
Meantime it tells the governor he
would do well to repireve the mut-
derers under sentence, whether mule
or female, and, though the sugges-
ton is a bit queer from the legal
point of view, there is much to he
said in its favor. Ger AMY nobody
will say anything against IL
Probably Vermont would not
have been so excited a> he, Times
would have the pul tic believe, if
outsiders had not Quilted in" and
stlrre | up what cplnmotlon and ex-
citement it was IN their power to do
Then after their ia = and Juror did
not have the eff; desired by them,
they are now he first ones to cry
out that there WAS no need of such
agitation on the part of state over
the enforcement of it's laws. This
shows the dog-in-the-manger spirit
on the pa of the "butters-in," and
strengthens the belief that their
outcri, were more for the sake of
notoriaty than for the cause of JUS
tice.
A a matter of fact, New Jerseys
EN- ,tions are stirred not so much by
a belief that it is wrong to put a
murderer to death, as it is by the
bungling of the execution of Muir
Oerer Tapley few days ago and
the story that was circulated that
the negro signalled with his hands
after the drop fell, showing that he
still lived. 1t is opposition to hang
ing, not the death penalty, that is
being the more prominently agitated
in that state. The electric chair is
suggested as substitute for the
gallows.

VERMONT NEWS.

An act of heroism took place at
the state hospital for the insane at
Waterbury Wednesday of last week
in which a nurse risked her life and
came near being drowned in her eff
forts to save a patient. Several pa
tients were being taken out for a
walk when one of them suddenly
made a dash for the river, intending
to commit suicide. The stream was
covered with thin layer of Ice at
this point and the water is seven or
eight feet deep. The patient, whose
name is withheld, succeeded in
breaking through but was caught
before she sank by \ ISIS Lofts, one
of the nurses, who pursued her.
Miss Lofts plunged into the water
and held to the patient, supporting
herself by her free hand on the frail
ice. Misses Ryan and Dawson, two
other nurses, also went to the rescue
and succeeded in keeping the two
above water until further help came
from a man who was passing by on
a load of wood. With his assistance
the patient and Miss Lofts were
taken from the water and carried to
the asylum. Both suffered severely
from the exposure but will recover.
At recent term of Orange coun-
ty court, West Fairlee lady MILL
ner was fined for selling her goods
in a neighboring town without be-
ing licensed. The court pertinent
ly remarked that it didn't consider
the selling of ribbons under such
conditions a very heinous offeEse.
This itinerant vendor and peddler's
license requirement is pretty small
business for a sovereign state to en-
gage in. The purpose is to protect
resident dealers in their own locali-
ties from the competition of travelling
vendors. Personally, we don't be-
lieve in patronizing the latter. The
home merchant, if he is fair in his
eilings, deserves the preference.

What Others Say.
Editor Sifter:-

/ I fear / have not made NJ, posi-
tion clear on the question cf capital
punishment. My claim is, we h;, e
no right to take what we can't civ :,
! life. Life is dear and sweet to CIV
cry living, creeping thing. Ev n
the worm that crlwls in The Gust
will turn aside to avoid being run
over, and thus I felt justified in
quoting the so-called divine COM
mand, "Thou shalt lot Xiii" This
has no relevancy whatever to the
other command GU ted: "Six days
shalt thon labor. " 'rhe one is di-
rect violation Of every God-given
right, and Is fo1n lei on man-made
laws alone, that mi 5ht makes right.
1t is solely on this ground that ma
tions go to war, the stronger prey
ing upon the weaker. The one who
labors six days in tilling the soil,
working in shop or factory, or the
thousand and one other vocations to
gain livelihood, is robbing no one
but is adding som ething to the gen.
eral store that makes someone else
happy.
Can it be demonstrated that hang
;ng deters a single individual from
committing murder, when he has it
at heart; or do prison walls keep the
thief from stealing? We would rot
think so by reading our daily papers,
filled full with accounts of crime of
every shade and hue. Because
these precautionary measures, build
ing jails and prisons, to protect soci-
ETY. from the viciously inclined l fail
to see wherein we are trying to
''usurp the duties of the Creator"
In the remote ages of the past, when
ignorance, big try AMI superstition
dominated the masses through
priestly rule, people We're conuman.i
ed to be stoned fo the simp'e act Of
picking up sticks on the Sail ath
day. Through the civi' IL ng in u
ences of higher education these
days have passed and &; ne and l
am looking forward expt c'antly TO
the near future when Vermont will
abolish the barbarous practice of
hanging her criminals by the neck
till dead. The recent spectacle wit
messed at Windsor by me forty, III
the hanging of defenceless woman,
has so shocked the finer stnsihi!ities
of all true lovers of humanity to that
extent that redoubled efforts viii e
put forth in our next legislature to
wipe the law from our statute book
and consign it to the rubbish heap
of the mistakes 1--WE will call it ny
no harder name) of past ages. The
stain is there all the same. It has
gone into history, and the rising
generations will blush with shame
in acknowledging that their ances-
tors were so barbarous, failed to
grasp the mighty forces at comma,. d
that tend to the upbuildlng OF Il
grander civilization.
