We have heard it said on the
streets of Montpelier that the action
of Governor Gooding in helping to
apprehend the assasslns Of ex-Gov-
ernor Steanenberg will be the means
of defeating him, should he be re-
nominated. God forbid that such
would be the case. Governor Good
ing has not gone beyond his au-
thority in his efforts TO ferret out
and bring to justice the cowardly
anarchists who planned and execut
ed the assassination of Mr.. Steunen
berg. Had Governor Gooding done
less than he has he would be subject
to the most severe condemnation
from the liberty-loying and law
abiding citizens of our state. 1t II

that will condemn our governor fol

most diabolical crime in the history

ity goes, we do not believe tina
Governor Gooding would permi
our courts or the officers of the Jaw
to take one illegal step or do 4
single act that might prevent tn
men now indicted for the murder o
Steunenberg from securing an abso
lutely fair and impartial trial.

Eugene V. Debs has broken loose
again in one of his reasonable TRADES
against the government. Ills utter
ances are those Of bloodthirsty
anarchist, and will do the cause OF
labor more harm than good. In his
eyes, 10 man who is charged with
murder ever receives fair or impair
tial trial IN our courts, and he de-
clares that the time has come when
the worklngmen will "haye to fight
for their rights and by fighting he
means the use of guns. If Debs
had any following, his utterances
might be taken more seriously, but
even though there are only f ew OF
his class IN this country, there
should be means of preventing him
from preaching such doctrine. The
sooner the labor leaders of this
country give Debs to understand
that dhey want no dealings will
him, and do not countenance hi
ntteranses. the better jt will be fol-
them and III. cause If labor il gen

Word comes from Washington
that the house committee on Agri-
culture has stricken out the appro-
priatlon providing for the distri bu-
ton of seeds by the government,
through senators and congressman.
We believe that 1t was a wise step,
for this seed distribution has gotten
to be somewhat of farce. The
seeds are purchased in large 4uan
titles and are sent out indiscrimln
ately by the senator's and congress
men. II has been charged that some
congressman sell their quota Of SEEDS
TO eastern seed buyers and pocke
the money. If the government
wishes to continue the free seed dis
tribution, let it do 80 under the sec

tablish a systematic method of dis
