The Brattleboro citizens who appeared
at Montpelier on Tuesday and Wednesday
in the matter of our water works con-
troversy were given full hearing and the
most courteous and considerate attention
by the joint committee on municipal cor
porations. The whole subject was can

sides and all the interests involved en-
larged and modified their views and gain

suggestion that Brattleboro is suffering
from a bad attack of the hysteria
microbe, but is likely to recover, was
particularly pat. If in this and other
ways we were laughed at a little now and
then, and our predominating Brattleboro
characteristics deftly touched up, it was
a good thing for us. We hope, and think,
that the committee gained the impression
that all the citizens who appeared were
thoroughly in earnest and that, however
they might disagree. all had the best in
terests Of the Brattleboro community at
heart We shall find, in the end, that the
effect of the hearing has been to make
us all more tolerant of each other
views, more ready to yield a point, and
sincerely anxious to find a get-together
basis for the good of "the best town be-
tween Springfield, Mass. and Montreal y

The dishonorable discharge of three
companies of the 25th Infantry, colored,
which has become a cause celebre in the
newspapers at least, will be the subject
of congressional inquiry through a reso-
luton introduced by Senator Penrose Of
Pennsylvania. The negro soldiers, in
brawl in Brownsville, Texas, proceeded to
"shoot up" the town--that is, to fire right
and left in the streets. AS result one
citizen was killed and several wounded.
An army officer who investigated the out
break found that the men guilty Of riot
ing could not be identified as none of
the negro soldiers would give evidence In
the case This officer recommended the
dismissal of the entire battalion from the
service without honor and the President
ordered the recommendation carried out
It's execution was received by storm Of
criticism throughout the country and at
the time the President was upon his Pan
anna trip Secretary Taft held up the order
and stopped the dismissals until the Presi-
dent returned. On the Presidents arrival
in Washington, he ordered the dismissal
decision carried out. All of the men in
the three companies under the terms OF
the discharge are forever prohibited from
service in either the army or the navy
and from holding any civil appointment
under the government. The President
maintained that the soldiers, In refusing
the information necessary to the appre-
hension OF the men guilty Of criminal acts

and discipline.
