SOCIALIST PLATFORM.
And Immediate Demands Made by the
Barre Socialists.

The Socialist party Of Barre has pre-
pared the following platform and imme
di2te demands:
/. Municipal control Of the liquor
traffic.
2. Municipal coal and wood yard,
3, Eight hour workday for all muni-
eipal employees; the same rule to govern
all contracts that may be sublet by the
municipal government.
4. That all elective officers OF this
city (Barre) shall be subject to the i'm.
peFatiye mandate. and 10 recall, by
the expressed wish of their constituency.
s. That the boards Of health take
immediate steps to abolish all dry water
closets: especially those adjoining stone
sheds and other private works and dwell.
ing houses Reasons, said dry waetr clos.
cts are menace and danger to the health
Of the general public ana should be inn
mediately abolished, even ii ii does ere
ate some outlay by the proprietors OF
those places. The public health should
come first, last and all the time, In our
opinion
8, That the board Of health exercise
their full legislative powers, relative to
a strieter supervision on all persons en-
gagged in handling Of milk for public
consumption, OF in any manner that
would come under the head OF the pure
food law. Reasons, too great care can
not be taken in the supervision of our
milk distributors, inasmuch a. we are
forewarned by the United States bureau
Of agriculture that at least IS per cent
of deaths from tuberculosis are caused
BY contaminated milk and from dead
meat infected from a like source.
Z Unskilled municipal laborers to be
paid not less than two dollars per day.
Reasons, we believe that two dollars per
day is about the minimum rate Of wages
that will give an American workingman
the chance TO feed, elothe and educate
his children. This Is based from the
present high rate Of living IN Barre, and
which we hardly think can lie disputed.
Conclusion: finally, our candidates,
while standing for the principles Of 30
cialism, are nevertheless all good stand.

front the principles OF socialism, are
prepared on each and every occasion 60

we are, are nevertheless gradually awak.

JURY COULDN'T AGREE
ON A SIS SUIT
Which Was Over The Ownership Of a
Fox Pelt--case Attracted Great
Attention at Guilford.

Brattleboro, Feb. 2s.-The case Of
Archie Miner against George Miller,
both Of Guilford, was tried yesterday
afternoon before Judge Il. w. Legat at
the Brattleboro house at Guilford.
About two weeks ago Mfr. Miner was
fox hunting and shot at fox, he
stated he wounded. He was following
the trail when he heard rifle shot
and came up in a few minutes TO where
Mr.. Miller had just shot silver gray
fox. Mr.. Miner demanded the fox and
Mr. Miller refused to give it up, con
sequently he brought suit to collect
$40 the alleged value of the pelt.
The case was tried at length yester-
day before a jury and given to 1t for
decision, late in the afternoon. The
iurymen reported that they were unable
to agree and were discharged.
The case has attracted a great
amount Of attention among hunters as
ii has been an unwritten law among
the fraternity that the owner Of tho
dog pursuing an animal shall take
half the value Of the animal, if killed.
The law statute is that any one kill
ing an animal owns it no matter how
being pursued unless the pursucr can
show absolutely that he would have
eventually secured the animal, had 1t
been unmolested.

SAD PoLIcE ARE 1850
Goldman, Famous Anarchist, Spoke in
Barre Last Night.

Emma Goldman of New York and
Luigi Galleani were unique pair of
speakers at the opera house last night,
and they attracted some 500 peopIe,
about evenly divided between ENGLISH
speaking and italian people, The meet
ing was comparatively mild affair as
far az anything inccndiary was con
cerned. IT was advertised To be against
Hlicense and the pirates,s and the speak
crs generally stuck to their text, with
tnow and then slam at the police, who
were declared to be the agents oil the
tcapitalistic class.
Emma Goldman, a prepossessing look
ling woman Of say 45 years, began the
talking without any ceremony. She pre-
sented rather sofnbre appearance, dress
ed entirely III black with the exception
| Of bit Of white ct the neck and d
black and white CHECKED tic. Her sharp
eyes peered out through pair Of eye.
glasses, and her vision was keen enough
To detect some young men in the front
rows who lost the thread Of the dis
lcourse, and who later received her com
lpliments as future presidents.a
Mrs. Goldman has not changed much
! since she was here seven years ago, but
she said that she had been told thai
| Vermont had changed for the better in
| its liquor laws. She declared that vot.
h ing would not do any good, hut If the
men were going to vote, she told them
to vote against granting licenses to 4
few s'spies,7 and to give the right of
selling liquor to everybody She repeat
edly advised the voters TO consider what
they were voting for. She said that the

hstration she drew q veiIed ac-
cisation against d Barre Official who,
She had been told, worked six months,
loafed the other six and got $50 per
month, yet was the owner Of several
properties
The woman made no bones Of saying
that she is an anarchist, and while dis
lclaiming any power Of prophecy,
nevertheless she prophesied that we
shall be en1ancipated, economically, po-
liticalIy and morally. Mrs Goldman
was recently arrested, and then released,
in New York, on the charge Of making
an inaammatoFy speech That arrest
she referred 70, throwing a compliment
| to the New York police as asses lust
as all police are. She made copious
use Of biblical texts to illustrate her
points.

down and wait for the noise to subside.

Tupted BY applause, while Goldman had
an uninterrupted discourse to the end.
Al the close Of the meeting the Gold

kind.
