The supreme court decides that the
self.eonfdent Perkins committed no
crime in making campaign contributions
out Of the money of New York Life
policy.holders. A public opinion which
is surely not overscrupulous, had decid'
ed otherwise. The authoritative ju'
dicial decision, however, ought to be
comforting to some troubled consciences
of those who have held in trust money
or property belonging to Others. Us
ing ones Judgment about the manage
ment of other peoples property should
always be accompanied by the gift of
rare discrimination.

The Vermont unterrifed have need
to keep the party ranks unbroken with
the shadow of a presidential campaign
upon them. We would earnestly de-
plore the situation if it were presented,
but really, stranger things have hap
pened than democratic victory in
1905. Then where would the wanderers
be at who might be bamboozled into
following the Clement airship in the
present campaign. Stick to your party
lines, republicans and democrats alike.

Another elucidation of what pure pa
triotism and loyalty to party principles
mean to some people. Stick to your
party because, if your party wins, it
may reward you with an Office. Stick
to your party because if you displease
your party you lose your chance of re-
ward in victory. Never mind state or
community welfare. Stick to your
party for what there may be in it for
yourself. That's loyalty. That S pure
patriotism.

by the masses, who recognize his mag.

zeal for the common cause. But the
opposition to Theodore Roosevelt 5 re.

as mighty as they are undiscoverahle,
who will fight him from the vantage
ground of his own party limits. The
president has not pleased the powers
of the republican national organization
and he will not be allowed TO work four
years more of havoc with its methods.
If Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination by the
democratic party could be accomplished
which is improbable-he would be
elected. He has made good for the
country and the people know it.

Haskins "With the President. "

The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican said Wednesday
The house committee on agriculture
today listened to Thomas E. Wilson of
Chicago, representing the Chicago pack
ers, in opposition to the Beveridge
amendment and the Neill Reynolds re-
port. Mr. Wilson made wholesale de-
mails of the Neil Reynolds charges, and
made recommendations for various
changes in the Beverage amendment,
such as making inspections at govern
ment expense. 1t is an interesting CO.
incidence that these changes recon-
mended by Mr.. Wilson would thus far
enable the Beverage amendment ex-
actly to conform to Chairman Wads-
worth s substitute for that measure,
and yet Mr.. Wadsworth is aggrieved
when his substitute is called "pack-
ers' bill.
Representative Henry of Connecti-
cut and Representative Kittredge Has
kins of Vermont will stand squarely
with the president in support of the
principle of the Beveridge amendment
If the seven democrats, as predicted
take similar position at least nine of
the committee of 10 will be for real
bill, and it is expected that other re-
publicans besides Henry and Haskins
will come to their senses. The hearing
will go on tomorrow and Mr. Wilson
will recommend more changes in the
rest of the Beveridge amendment.
The people of the second congress
sional district will learn with pride and
satisfaction, though not with surprise,
that their representative is standing
squarely with the president in his great
fight, described elsewhere, against the
beef trust and for the protection of the
consumers of it's products both at home
and abroad.
The offenses of the beef packers
against public health and deeency are
inexcusable. The Beverage amend
ment was adopted by the senate as a
measure the enforcement of which
would make the sale of diseased meat
impossible. Now, even after the sick
ening disclosures of the Reynolds
report, friends of the packers in the
house are trying to replace this amend
ment with a substitute whose object is
all too plainly apparent. The attempt
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-06-08

New England consumers of meat
should lose no time in transferring, as
far as possible, their patronage to local
producers of beef, veal, pork and poul-
try. Sheep raising is being taken up
anew in some parts of New England
and that, too, may be encouraged by
local patronage. Here is an opportu-
nifty both to boom home industries and
to relieve the nausea induced by the
Neill-Reynolds report of Chicago pack
ing-house methods. The certainty that
the food we consume is wholesome is
worth some inconvenience and depriva-
ton. Let the packers understand that
there will be no public compromise with
dirt and disease.

Follow the Precedent.

A precedent has been established II
Windham county in connection with
the Office Of states attorney which has
always seemed to be good one and
which has heretofore been generally
honored. When two or more candi
dates have appeared, preference has
been given the man who has been q
practicing lawyer the longest time
length of service giving him, other cir
cumstances being equal, an advantage
for usefulness over his competitor.
This year two candidates have en-
tered the official race; and although the
man by long time the first admitted
to practce-R G. Bacon of Brattle.
boro-has the almost unanimous sup
port of the legal fraternity and large
public following, his opponent-F. L.
Barber, also of Brattleboro-pushes his
claim for the position and urges that
in this instance the established prece.
dent be set aside.
No good reason for such a course is
apparent. In the matter of length of
practice and experience, Mr.. Bacon is
the superior of Mr.. Barber by five
years; he has had broader general and
technical education and he has a good
record of public service in various ca
pacities which proves his fitness for
the position.
Six years ago when Mr.. Barber s
brother, H. G., and A. f. Schwenk were
rival candidates for the office of state S
attorney for Windham county, the
"precedent was used as a strong ar
gument for the Barber candidacy, as
Mr.. Schwenk s term of legal service
was the shorter of the two. Recogniz-
ing this claim, Mr.. Schwenk courteous
Iv withdrew from the contest, leaving
the field to II. G. Barber.
The present candidate, F. E. Barber,
whose legal education has been ac-
CURED under the tutelage of his elder
brother, H. G.. Barber, and with whom
he is in partnership, seems never to
have been taught the rule of long es-
tablished precedent, so greatly regard
ed by the law of which he processes
to be a disciple, and to be entirely
ignorant of the claim of the same so
strenuously urged by Mr.. Barber, the
elder, when his supremacy was threat
ened by Mr.. Schwenk, six years ago.
Furthermore this attempt to ignore the
rule is not only aimed at Mr.. Bacon
but is also an endeavor to step over the
heads of Messrs. Stowe, Gibson and
Hooker, all of whom are older prac-
titioners than Mr.. Barber and all of
whom have openly declared themselves
in favor Of Mr.. Bacon.
The public, however, will fail to see
in Mr.. Barber's claim any reason for
setting aside precedent which has
served it well. 1t will continue to
choose, between two good and able
candidates, the man who has been lon
ger in the practice of the law and who
has had the longer training for the Of
fee

The Montpelier Argus thinks there Is
no force IN the argument made by those
who desire fusion Of democrats and
independents, that Clement will reform
the state government. II says; "The
governor of Vermont has not the pow
or to effect reforms. He not only can
not initiate but he cannot prevent legis'
lation. His veto Is useless, The gov
ernor must accept such enactments us
the legislature decides upon" There
is no use in fusion to support Clement s
candidacy in the hope of reform unless
there is also town and county eo.opera'
ton for the support of his reform meas
urcs in the legislature.

Clement wants to be governor.
Weigh the man in the balance by his
past record and his attitude toward men
and then decide whether you believe he
is actuated by pure patriotism or per-
sonal ambition. That s the only point
for voters.-Vermont Phoenix.
Of course. Vermont never yet had a
governor who was guilty of personal
ambition. We have always in the past
insisted upon having shining example
of pure patriotism in the gubernatorial
chair. What we want and what Glenn
ent might be able to do for us is not
worthy of consideration in view of the
fact that it might please him to have
us use him. And Clement is not of

Try to think of man who has been
convicted of libel as an occupant of the
office of governor of Vermont!-Bur-
lington Free Press.
The Free Press probably refers to p.
w. Clement, the Independent candidate
for governor, although SANDER is not
libel. Mr. Clement s conviction of Sian.
der for calling "Spotter" Wilson a
murderer will not hurt his reputation
appreciably in the estimation of Yer
mont citizens. Most of those who were
familiar with the details of the shoot
ing of Goshea at White River Junction
thought worse things than Mr.. Clement
uttered about the "spotter,' and some
expressed those thoughts in language
more forcible than elegant. The court,
however, has decided that whatever
Wilson may have been, he was not,
legally, murderer, and that whatever
we may call him we must not call him
murderer unless we are willing to
pay $1,000 for the privilege.

The W. c. T. U. is appealing to news
paper men TO stop printing advertise
ments of patent medicines containing
narcotics and alcohol. The Wilmington
Times suggests that newspapers would
sell their space to the w. C. 7. U. for
the publication of cheaper, safer and
more effective remedy recipes than the
patent medicine men offer. To meet
and conquer the evil in its own field
would certainly be better than merely
to harass it through the sacrifices of
other people.
