be due him from Edwin st. John, a
candidate for mayor of Saltwater in
1904 for beer, whisky and cigars, dis

Luke L. Wright OF Tennessee, gov
ernor general of the Philippines, has been
appointed the first American ambassador
to Japan, and he will be succeeded as
the executive head OF affairs in the Phil
ippines by Henry c. Ide OF st. Johns
bury, now vice governor of the Islands
and senior member OF the Philippine COM
mission. II is said in Washington that
the President considers that Mr. Ide is
entitled TO the dignity and honor of the
appointment, but that he will hold II only
a few months. as Gen. James Smith. now
a member of the commission and former
justice of the Philippine supreme court,
is slated to fill the Office about June 1.
The natural inference is that Mr.. Ide
will then be ready to return to Vermont.
There is no question about the ability
which Mr., Ide possesses and II Senator
Proctor should retire from the upper
branch of Congress at the end of 20 years
of service in Washington, as has been
intimated, there is no man from this
state who would fll the office with so
much distinction as Mr.. Ide. The noun
tain rule would be given a jar with two
senators from the ease side OF the state,
but the commonwealth would survive.
New Hampshire was able to pull along
some years with two United States SEN

The JANUARY Warm Wave.

The remarkable warm wave which pre-
vailed over this section OF the country on
Sunday Monday and Tuesday was gem
eral throughout the region between the
Mississippi valley and the Atlantic coast.
Its crest was in Ohio, where the mercury
rose to from 20 to 75 degrees, and there
were thunder storms just as in dog days.
South Of the Ohio river II was less warm.
The electric disturbances travelled down
through Tennessee, Mississippi Alabama
and Georgia. In New York city the wealth
er was so warm on Sunday that crowds
iocked to Coney island and the resorts
there were opened as in the summer,
and many bathed in the surf In Vermont
the ice has gone out OF the Lamoille. Win
oosk and Passumpslc rivers and has
broken up in the bays OF Lake Cham
plain. Caterpillars and other insects have
crawled out in Brattleboro and have been
reported from numerous towns I'm the
state. In the parks around New York
and at some points in Massachusetts
early flowers blossomed and buds started
on the trees. Maple sap flowed freely.
In this vicinity and generally throughout
Vermont the sleighing had been good,
with a very small amount OF snow. but
the warm weather OF Sunday and Monday
laid the ground bare All over the region
mentioned. from New York northward. a
heavy blanket of fog enveloped the coun-
try all day Monday and Monday night.
The warm wave appears to have swept
out to sea from the Atlantic coast during
Tuesday night. In Chicago the period of
summer temperature was succeeded on
Monday by a cold storm OF snow and
sleet which crippled telegraph and tele-
phone service as well as the electric and
steam railroads.
1t seems a strange paradox of weather
conditions that on Tuesday the worst
blizzard for several years was reported as
prevailing at st. Louis and that cattle
in Kansas Texas and Oklahoma were
suffering extremely from the cold and
sleet." For the first time in many years
six inches OF snow covered the northern
and central parts OF Arkansas. Kentucky
and Tennessee We're in the path OF the
blizzard and the freezing weather extend

VERMONT STATE BAR ASSOCIATION.
Chief Judge RoweII Suggests Changes In
Our judicial system-Trlbutes to the

Chief Judge RowelI Suggests Changes In
Our judicial system-Trbutes to the
Memory Of Judge start.
A special meeting of the Vermont Bar
association was held at Montpelier Tues
day evening in the supreme court room
at the state house. Hon. II. II. Powers
OF Morrisville, the president, was in the
chair. Chief Judge Roweil having been
asked by the president to give his views
on the proposed changes in the judiciary
called the attention of the association
to the congested condition OF the supreme
and county court dockets and gave the
reasons for these conditions. He mem
TONED the various changes which have
been suggested and favored a supreme
and circuit court system such as now
prevails in nearly all the states. A
supreme court that sits only in banc, he
said, is the best supreme court for vari-
Gus reasons. With short and frequent
sessions of such a court the most of the
cases heard at one session could be dis
posed OF at the next The supreme court
should be large enough to give its decis-
ion weight and in the opinion OF Judge
Rowell a supreme court OF five is an ideal
number. Five judges can do the supreme
court work In Vermont easily and su-
preme court of three would not be
court whose decisions would carry the
weight to which the state is entitled.
Judge Rowell also favored a circuit court
OF at least six judges. He closed by
urging that something ought to be done
and that something should be the best.
Following the business meeting of the
association, a memorial service for the
late Judge Henry r. Start was held.
Judge James M. Tyler read an apprecia-
tive paper on Judge Start In which he
characterized him as one OF Vermont's
ablest judges, an independent reasoner,
morally and Intellectually honest, clear
and direct In thought and expression,
and an intense lover OF the study and
practice Of the law Col A. A. Hall Of
st. Albans read a sketch OF Judge Starts
life and brief tributes were paid his mem
ory by several lawyers present. Attor-
ney General c. G. Fits being among the

Information has come that a great fam
inc, the worst that has happened In that
country for 90 years, prevails in the three
northern provinces Of Japan. So appall-
ing are the conditions that the committee
chosen by the foreign community OF
Sendai, a city on the northern coast Of
Japan, declare that out OF a population
of S99,279 at least $50, 900 people are in
extreme distress, with no possibility of
saving life without aid" The immediate
cause of the famine is the failure Of the
rice crop. Throughout the famine
stricken territory many thousands of men,
women, and children have been reduced
to eating the bark Of trees, shrubs and
roots. Measures of relief have been taken
by the foreign residents of Japan, and
help will undoubtedly be extended prompt
ly by other countries 1t ought to be, for
1t is a time when all realize as never
before that we are all members Of one
great human family.

The "corrupt prae,Iee.,, New.paper Law

The Phoenix spoke editorially last week
OF the law enacted by the legislature of
1904 for the prevention OF corrupt prac-
tices" In elections and its supposed or
possible prohibition OF the sale OF news
paper space for political advertisements.
This subject has been generally discussed
by the newspapers of the state the pres
ent week, with the general opinion express
ed that the intent OF the law was not to
prevent the sale OF advertising space, but
to prohibit the payment or acceptance Of
money or any valuable thing for editorial
influence Curtis Emery of Chelsea, now
the collector of customs of the Memphre-
magog district. who introduced the bill
for the enactment of this law. has made
the statement that this was the intent
to prevent the sale of editorial influence
and not OF legitimate advertising space.
John G. Sargent OF Ludlow, who holds a
leading place at the Vermont bar, has
given the opinion that the law could not
be construed to mean the prevention OF
the sale OF advertising space for political
purposes. The statement is made In a
Montpelier paper that the publisher OF a
Washington county newspaper has taken
the necessary steps TO bring this matter
before the supreme court OF the state at
its present general term for final decision.
