CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED. ;

With the second paragraph of the
Declaration of Independence as a text
the st. Adams Messenger breaches an
excellent and timely sermon on Yer
mont s UNEQUAL system of representa-
ton, suggesting that the Fourth of
July could be celebrated in no more
consistent way by the inhabitants of
this state than by setting to work
quietly to make the government OF
Vermont more in keeping with the
principles which our forefathers so
gloriously advanced. This is a ques-
ton which cannot be discussed too
freely, and the following excerpt from
the Messenger editorial will furnish
much food for thought for all who will
read it:
If "all men are created equal" here
in this state, why is it that the cOnsti.
tuition will give a vote in the lawmak
ing to only few dozen of them living
in the town of glastonbury, but other
men living III burlington may doSCih
bic to the number of 10000 and have
no more? 1t takes more men to get
voice in the state law-making in Bur
lington than it does in Glastonbury. If
"men are created equal " what is the
justice of a law that will not permit
them to stay so? If it is strictly true
that governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed. "
why do we of Vermont institute a gov
eminent that derives its powers, not
from the consent of the governed, but
a small minority of the governed!
Why do we permit less than q per
cent. of the people of Vermont to have
81 per cent. of the votes in the house
of representatives,, and still say that
our government derives its just powers
from the consent of the governed?

grounds in White River Junction, and
they are being put into the proper
shape for the reception and entertain

its members will be as successful IN

labored under many Disadvantages IN
the past and the classes have been
small. the graduates have as a whole
won remarkable success in after life
There is "a reason for this in the four

are still many, the institution is in bet.

Rutland has a right to be proud OF
the horse show which it gave last
week. The exhibition was well man.
aged in every detail and brought to-
gether an array of horsefesh which in
quality has never been surpassed in
this state. Experienced judges say
that many of the classes contained
better individuals than are often found
in the winter shows of New York and
Boston, A feature of the show which
is well worth noting is the thorough
manner in which it was advertised
throughout the territory from which
the attendance was drawn. Not only
was the event Systematically billed
but a campaign of publicity was dill
gently carried on in the newspapers of
the state for weeks previous to the
show and the merchants of Rutland
united in doing their share toward
booming the exhibition by calling at
tention to it on letter heads and en-.
velopes and in various other ways
Evidently the press agent of the show
was familiar with his work, for the
advance notices which he sent out were
in just the proper form to ensure their
publication. Withom being lengthy
they gave interesting points about the
event in newsy way and were issued
regularly. Too many people are in
clined to undervalue the Importance of
newspaper publicity in booming an
event of this kind. In connection with
the Rutland show it can be said fur
ther that its management was in the
hands of a group of young men who
are interested heart and soul in the
movement now on foot for a "bigger.
better, buster Rutland,' and the sue
cess which crowned their efforts is
proof positive that the west side city
will accomplish its purpose. A com
munity boasting such hustlers is bound
to progress.

Several months ago members of the
brattleboro Woman's club conferred
with the local board of trade in regard
to the matter of establishing in Brat
tleboro rest room for the benefit of
women who visit this town on shop
ping tours and are DESTROYS of a place
where they can spend their spare time.
The idea met with approval but it has
not yet materialized, and it may not be
out of place, therefore, to call atten-
ton to the advantages that such a
room would have. At present there
IS absolutely no place which women
who are in Brattleboro for a few hours
may make their headquarters. Their
shopping completed they are obliged
either to bask in the unwholesome at
mosphere of the local railroad station
until the departure of their train or
to sit in the wagons until their hus-
bands have completed their business
and are ready to drive home. If a
room in some convenient location could
be furnished with a number of chairs.

1t is to be regretted that the owners
of the West Dummerston granite quar-
ries prefer to see them remain idle
rather than to work them as an adjunct
of the Massachusetts quarries con-
trolcd by the same interests. While
the granite industry in other portions
of the state is fourishiug business in
West Dummerston is practically at a
standstill. Can it be that the shipping
facilities in West Dummerston are SO
poor that the quarries cannot be op'
Grated to advantage or is the reason
for their idleness to be found in the
fact that the owners have other hold
ings which yield greater profits under
the present circumstances In either
case the neglect of the West Dunn.

to Brattleboro s business activity.

District Attorney Sims of Chicago
in accordance with the directions from
Attorney General Bonaparte and in
pursuance of authority contained in
the Elkins law as amended by the Hep
burn act, filed suits against five of the
big express companies in the United
States circuit court Tuesday. The bills
ask for injunction to prevent further
alleged violation of the new rate laws
insofar as they relate to the issuance
of express franks. The companies af-
fected are United States, National,
American, Wells Fargo and Adams Elk
press companies. 1t is alleged that the
companies have issued express franks
to their officials, employees and attor-
neys and officials, employees and attor-
neys of other express companies and
railway companies. There is no dis
pute by the defendants of the facts, as.
in answers to the suits, counsel for the
companies admit that the franks were
issued as charged. But it is main
tanned that there was no violation of
the law because the franks were issued
in exchange for franks and that there
was no discrimination.

The month just closed was the cool
est one of record in Washington in the
last IS years, and this is probably true
of New England, the Atlantic states
and the lower lake region. Elsewhere
in the United States temperatures were
lower than usual, but the negative de-
partures were not so great. There
were two periods of cold weather in
northern districts, viz, from the LIST
to the 18th and again from the 9th
until the close of the month. AS in
previous cold Junes the distribution of
atmospheric pressure over the Cana
dian maritime provinces and the North
Atlantic was such as to cause a pre-.
dominance of ocean winds in north
eastern districts and a blockade of the
continental lows either in the Ohio val
ley or off the New England coast. The
only seasonable temperatures of the
month occurred between the 18th and
9th, and these were of short duration.

TWO vAGs co OVER
FOR NINETY DAYS

Two Migrants, who have not worked
for some time, will be given a chance
to be industrious for the next three
months at least, having that long to
spend with Sheriff Henry's guests on
the reef. One of them, Makaainana,
is the one-eyed Hawaiian who imper-
sonated an electric light employee and
forced himself into Robert Churton s
house short time ago. The other,
Onishi, was caught short time ago
on the premises of Walter Macfarlane
at an unseemly hour in the morning.
He could not satisfactorily explain why
he was there and was arrested for
investigation. About all that he had
with him in the way of money making
tools was set of hoodoo' dice, the
phoney kind that always turn up aces.
Judge Whitney sentenced them both
yesterday morning. With them to Jail
go three DRINKS, unless the fines of SO
apiece are paid. These are Joe Rod
rigues, Sam, Houinai and Daniel Mel
son.

LEE LOOK GUILTY
Of An ASSAULT
An Echo of a Tong War That
Ragged in Chinatown
Lately.

Lee Look was found guilty of assault
on Lau Lin by a jury in Judge De
Bolts court yesterday afternoon and
will come up for sentence at a. m.
Saturday. Look was indicted for an
assault with intent to KILL but the
jury found him guilty of the lesser
offence.
This is a case supposed to have grown
out of tong war that ragged in China
town few weeks ago. Lee Look and
Lau Lin were both members of Chi
nese Society which was rent with fac
tons. There was a good deal of ex-
element at the time among the Chi
nese. The assault was committed on
Beretania avenue near the old Kau-
makapili church property and L.au Lin
was struck on the temple and an ugly
wound made which at the time was
supposed to have been made by brass
knuckles. He was found about Z
O'Clock in the evening in a semi-un-
conscious condition and was taken to
the hospital. The police under Chief
of Detectives Taylor went to work on
the case at once and later in the even
ing Lee Look was arrested He tries
to prove an alibi A pair of new re-
volvers, one of the ordinary pattern,
and the other a magazine weapon of
great effectiveness, the two costing
twenty-eight dollars, were found in
Lee Looks room, though that fact was
not allowed to be brought out in evil
dence on the trial yesterday afternoon.
Attorney General Peters prosecuted
the case, and E. M. Watson defend
ed it.
