States Attorney NJ. NJ. Wilson
was called to Tunbridge Thurs
day, the 4th, to prosecute in q
case of illegal furnishing of liquor
He was accompanied on the triL
by the Rev. Fraser Meter, pastor
of the Bethany Church, vice-pres
ident of the Vermont Anti-Saloor
League, and president of the
State Christian Endeavor society
and from the testimony of one of
the star witnesses it appeared
that the Rev. Fraser Meter was
just the man wanted. In his tes-
timOny the witness claimed that
he obtained liquor the day before
from a colored man living in Ran
dolph, but did not know the gen.
tleman's name. When asked if
he could identify the party, wit
ness replied, eyes, he. is in this

the Rev. Fraser Meter. So
strong an alibi has been proved
that the States attorney has re-

Stoves most widely known citi-

months. That evening he went
to the postofice and got a letter
for Mary wilkins, a sister of his
wife, who resides across the street
from his residence. He went there
with the letter and was stricken
with heartfailure and died before
he could be taken home. Mr..
Churchill, who was &c wears old

AS a result of the first law
passed by the general assembly
this fall, the act compelling cor
porations to produce. their books
when such a thing is necessary in
the enforcement of law, the state
has set in motion the machinery
that is to make the Burlington
Rendering Co. produce before the
Chittenden county grand jury
such of its books and papers as
may be needed to throw light
upon the diseased meat scandal
now being investigated. A sub
poena for the production of these
papers has been issued by the Chit
tenden county court and, as pro-
vided in the law, has been served
upon Secretary of State Frederick
G. Fleetwood. The service was
made Oct. 10th, by Deputy Sher-
if C. G. Quinn, of Burlington,
who went to Montpelier and serv-
ed duplicate copies on the secre-
tary of state for the corporation.
This corporation was formally
known as the Lowell Rendering
Co. and later changed to the Con
solidated Rendering Co, and is
now doing business as the Bur
lingtOn Rendering Co. In this
connection it will be of interest
to the public to learn that the
state treasurer has been receiving
money as the states part of the
proceeds of these sales of cattle
up to as late as September %,
on which day S162.S6 was paid
into the treasury. The state has
received from this traffic since
January 1, 1905, to September
%, 1906, all told, $16,759.6O.

The first bill passed proves to
the average person that the state
of Vermont still feels itself strong
er than corporations doing bust
ness here. The Burlington RegA
dering Co.'S action in refusing to
show their books is responsible
for the bill, but it is a good law
to have on the statutes and will
doubtless serve the state well
when the diseased beef scandal
is forgotten.

Several courses have been added
to the curriculum of the Univer-
sity of Vermont, Burlington, this
year. Among the most important
of these are: "a Course in the
Holy Scriptures, by the Rt. Rev.
Arthur A. G. Hall of the Episco-
pal diocese of Vermont; spencer
and Milton, by Prof. Max w.
Andrews; "Greek Art', by Prof.
S. e. Bassett, and two extra
courses in French by Prof. A. B.
Myrick. Several changes in the
faculty have been made since last
year. Evan Thomas takes the
place Of Prof. w. A. Colt, who is
away for a years study. G. H.
Pierce, 1904, takes the place of
Prof. G. NJ. Brett, who resigned to
take a position in the College of
the city of New York. Both these
changes were in the department
of mathematics. In the agricul-
tural department III. A. Edison,
1906, has taken the place of Prof.
W. j. Morse, who has gone to the
University of Maine. r. G. Gibson,
A. B., 1904, B. S. 1906, has been
made instructor in drawing, to
take the place of II. f. Halliday,
resigned, and F. B. Wright, 1905,
has been appointed assistant in
electrical engineering, vice H. G.
Clement, 1904, who goes into prac-
teal work. HI. E. Cunningham,
1904, assistant in the department
of German, will conduct the work
in scientific French also.
A movement has been started
to erect at the southern end of the
park at Bennington Centre, a
marker to indicate the
site on which stood the printing
house of William Lloyd Garrison,
the famous abolitiOnist, who once
edited the Journal of the Times.
1t is proposed that the sides of
the marker be three feet wide and
the height six feet. Three sides
and the top are to be rock finish,
with margin lines all around the |
edges. The front side is to be
polished and the inscription in
heavy raised pOlished-faced let
ters. The marker will be in extra
dark Barre granite. The inscrip-
ton will probably be as follows:

There is much to be done by
the legislature that is necessary
but we hope that as little time as
possible will be spent upon freak
legislation. The money it costs
to pass this class of laws, which
are not heard of afterwards, could
better be spent in advertising the
state.

A bill relating to the licensing,
and the regulating of the speed
of automobiles and also providing
for the closing of such roads as
selectmen may indicate has been
introduced into the legislature by
Mr.. Cady of Middlebury. In our
exchange columns will be found
other opinion upon this autOmo-
bile legislation. There is no
doubt but there is a big CONNER
cial advantage in the automobile.
Any section that is largely travel
ed by them is sure to be the gain
er in material things. They ad-
vertise a section as nothing else
can. Landlords are united in
their assertion that automObilists
are the best class of customers
they have, being ready to pay
their price and enthusiastic ad-
mirers of their surroundings.
There has been more than a hint
of the possible uncOnstitutlOnallty
of this proposed closing of roads.
Vermont is a beautiful state, but
as the Messenger says, autOmo-
bilists are not so crazy to come
through the state and spend their
money here, that they will take
anything that the rest of travel
ers don't want. They are easily
scared away to those states where
they will receive fair treatment,
and Vermont not the tourists will
be the greatest losers. If we want
to build up a summer and autumn
business of any size in this state,
this proposed automobile legisla-
ton is step in the wrong direc
tiOn.

Mr.. Senter of Montpelier and
Mr.. Archibald of Manchester have
both introduced bills into the leg
islature to abolish capital pun
ishment. Both gentlemen are
strongly opposed to this penalty
for any chine and both have work
ed hard for the measure in other
years. 1t is one of those questions
where there is much to be said on
both sides, but it is well that the
bill be carefully considered while
there is no especial agitation of
the subject. Like BanquO's ghost

good a season as any to see how
the feeling of our state really is
