Officer Roe wishes the public to un

the pipe line was recommended by DR..
Roe last fall. and also in his report to
the mayor last June. His recommen-
dations regarding the unsanitary con-
ditions of Delsol slough were referred
by the council to the city attorney for
action, but If the intake pipe is to be
extended up the Clearwater it is un-
likely that any further attention will
be paid to Delsol slough, as the city
water system will be out of reach of
the impure waters of the slough.

POLITICS AND

All of us are more or less interested
in politics. We are more familiar with
pianos because that's our business
the piano business-and has been for
years. We are not Dragging when we
say we know our business from A to
u. We have made piano construction,
tone, quality, ETC., a study, have sold
thousands Of instruments and have
had experience with nearly every
known make.
When we buy from the eastern fac
tories we are careful to get good value
for our money: when we sell to you
we give you the benefit of our expert
ence and are always careful to repre-
sent a piano just exactly as it is. We
are the largest dealers in the west
buy and sell more pianos than any
other dealer, therefore we buy for less
and sell for less than the smaller
retailer. We sell over thirty of Amer
ica's finest makes, including the Chick
ering Weber Pease Kimball, Steck,
Storey & Clark, Hableton, Haddorf
and Crown.
Our terms of payment are so low
that any family in moderate means
may own a piano. Pretty good rea-
sons why this is the place to buy your

TUCKER CASE RECALLED.

A petition asking Governor Guild OF
/ Massachusetts, to commute the SEN
tence Of Charles /. Tucker to lite inn
Iprisonment has received over 100000
signatures in Boston alone. Other
petitions are being circulated and
literally signed all over Massachu-
sets.
Tucker was convicted of the murder
of Mabel Page at Weston. It was a
shocking and altogether unprovoked
killing. Whoever did it gained en-
trance to the Page house in broad
| daylight, while Miss Page was alone,
/ and on the Pretence of being the
bearer of a note which informed her
that her brother had been seriously
injured, lying note, framed for the

weltering in blood which had flowed
from several CHASTITY wounds made
with knife, her body was found
hours later.
No living soul was seen by anybody
in, at or near the house at the time
when the killing occurred. Certain
things, however, tended to connect
Tucker with the affair. lie was seen
within a quarter OF mile of the Page
home at about the fatal hour. He was
slightly acquainted with the premises
and with the members of the family.
He could naturally have been the
bearer OF the so-called Morton note.
On his way home from the vicinity Of
the crime he left in a cart in which he
had ridden the case OF a sheath knife.
His home being searched. knife was
found which fitted the case. The
knife had been broken into pieces by
Tucker himself as he admitted. after
being suspected Of the murder. Sur
geons said the wounds could have
been inflicted by such a knife. Hand
writing experts said Tucker wrote
the note. Others said he did not. A
stickpin found in fuckers possession
after the crime belonged to Miss PAGE.

from the room the day of the murder.

lpin had been his for years. Human
bloodstains on fuckers knife were
explained by him as the result Of an
accident that beiell himself.
The trial was a remarkable one
drawing out the best criminal law tai
ent in Massachusetts,. Tucker was
convicted. He failed to get new
trial. failed in his appeal to the higher
courts. and has been sentenced to
death in June. The general opinion
is that Tucker is probably guilty, but
that sufficient doubt Of bis guilt pre-
walls as not TO Justify his execution.
| II later it should be shown that the
Jury were mistaken and Tucker was
innocent, what a hoTifYing thought
that he was beyond pardon! 1t is a
case where life Imprisonment would
more naturally answer the conditions
than capital punishment.
Unlike many we have always be
lieyed Tucker guilty, and that his
guilt was sufficiently proven at the
trial to warrant the verdict. Il was
evidence that would have convicted OF
a lesser crime. IL was evidence that
proved guilt not innocence, and the
jury had to pronounce one way or the
other, or disagree. Il was not their
fault that the penalty seems untitled to
the verdict.

Addison county newspapers are
curiously involved in the automobile
controversy. The editor OF the Mid
dlebury Register owns Morgan horses.
lie hates the auto. He has lately been
instrumental in having the towns OF
Middlebury and Ripton vote to close
certain highways against the machine,
whatever that amounts to. He takes a
very Tillmanesque attitude on the
question. The editor OF the other
Addison county paper, the Vergennes
Nermonter owns an auto, and natur-
ally enough, his views clash with
those OF his neighbor. lie pooh-poohs
the idea that each town is a law unto
itself regarding the use Of highways
by the auto. So the tilt goes on. To
make it more interesting, as well as to
cettle, once and for all, what rights
the towns have in the matter, we sug-
gest that Bro. Me. put the thing to q
test by speeding his auto over the for
hidden section and that Bro. Joe haul
him up for it.

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.

| State superintendent Stone has be-
| gun a campaign having for its pur-
Ipose the consolidation OF the small
schools lie has issued a 2O-page
pamphlet embodying his views, which
are the result OF long investigation
and careful thought, pursued without
prejudice or preeonception. Mr.
Stone believes in the radical step of
closing all schools attended by ten
pupils or less and Transporting the few
to some central place where a school
of suitable size can be assembled. OF
the $500 public schools in Vermont,
Is per cent have ten pupils or less.
The great majority of such small
schools are unproductive, 6y their very
nature, Of results that warrant their
continuance, if any other arrange
ment is possible whereby the pupils
can be accommodated.
Oar whole public school system is
retarded by these little schools, main
tanned at heavy cost per pupil, and
with most Indifferent fruitage. A
school OF three, five, seven or nine
scholars, presided over by a teacher
whose capacity is commensurate with
the pittance that can he afforded for
the size of the task where pupils can
not be graded, but must pursue a hit
or-miss course; and where there is no
school morale or spirit-such a school
is a waste not to be counted in the
m.re dollars and cents that it costs to
conduct it.
Mr.. Stone believes that in the sparse.
ly settled communities where small
schools of this order abound there
should be grouping to the degree
that will bring about schools of re-
S. ectable size, that can afford a we'll
paid teacher or teachers, and where
grading is possible. In towns where
small schools are maintained not far
removed from larger ones, the small !
ones should be given up and the pu-
pills sent to the larger ones.
OF course Mr.. Stones plan will
meet with criticism and objection. ItI

that the old way is good enough. The |
