The Howard Verdict.

The Messenger firmly believes that this
verdict will be accepted by the great ma
jority of men in Vermont as a righteous
one and well deserved. The amount Of
money involved in it is of no account.
The question submitted to the jury, after
all, was not one of mere dollars and
cents but one of principle.
Ii is not too much to say that. as a
broad general proposition, the people Of
Vermont are disposed to be reasonably
liberal in the auditing of the expense ac-
counts of public servants And that
means, of course, not that they will over
look little stretching of the law here
and there or an occasional out-snd-Out
fraud in order that the servant may OBJ
tain payment for some of his own private
expenses out of the state treasury, but
that they expect their officials to take ad-
vantage OF every customary convenience
and comfort OF travel, hotel accommoda-
tions, modern business practice, and all
that kind of thing while upon any er-
rand Of the public service, and that they
will even allow for some margin Of pos
sibly needless expenditure in this respect
rather than that the dignity of the com
monwealth should be offended by a seem
ingly parsimonious policy in the transac-
tion of its affairs.
The public believes that Howard went
beyond even this line Of generous allow
ance. II believes that he j. not eNcusa-
bic on the plea of ignorance, carelessness
or extravaganza, but that he deliberately
and with mercenary intent more or less
methodically overcharged the state II
does not matter that in a court of law va
rious items involved in such a bill of
charges against him were stricken out
upon some doubtless very proper ruling.
What the people of Vermont hold against
Howard is not the amount OF money he
was willing to take from them hut the
simple and regretful fact that he was
willing to take any. There are no mathe-
MATES in old-fashioned honesty and no
such thing as fractions Is involved in the
eighth commandments. Adams Mes
senger.

LIABILITY OF Trust COMPANY
STOCKHOLDERS
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor
l have read with good deal of inter
est your editorial in last weeks issue, - A
Lesson for Vermont" and while the doc
trine there set forth is sound in the main.
/ wonder if the inference may not be
drawn that in Vermont trust company
stockholders are not liable for an amount
equal to their holdings of trust company
stock? OF course the contrary is true
see Section 41O4, V. S.-Vermont trust
companies in this respect being on exact
ly the same footing as national banks.
1t is also true that Vermont trust COM
Fanies have not the liberty OF investment
allowed trust companies elsewhere, being
restricted to the investments legal for mu-
tual savings banks, and should not, there
fore, be compared with trust companies
operating under the more liberal laws of
other states. As a matter of fact. the
Vermont trust company has few difference
es from a savings bank except that it has
a capital stock-which is an additional
source of security for the deposftor-and
is allowed to do a commercial business.
which, as a matter of fact, is also done bv
certain savings banks.
1t is to the credit OF Vermont laws and
Vermont bank commissioners that Yer
mont banks have so well maintained their
stability in times of disturbance as well
as in the, in some respects, more danger
Gus times of heavy Accommodations of mon
ey and light loan demands, and the sta
bility of our savings banks and our trust
companies is an evidence, also, of careful
management and a realization on the part
of officers and directors Of these institu
lions that they are the trustees of the saw
lngs of thrifty people, and as such are
in duty bound to look first tc the safety
of investments. Vermont may well be
proud of the record of her banks. which
have not only paid depositors a fair rate
OF interest, but have also been ready to
give all possible assistance in the upbuild-
ing of Vermont; and the fact that so
many OF our towns and cities are showing
healthy growth, that business enterpris-
es are being successfully managed ard
financed is in no small degree attributab bic
to the banks of Vermont.
am sure you did not intend to convey
the idea that there is not a shareholders
liability in Vermont trust companies and
that, if you think my inference warrant
ed, you will see that the statement Is cor
rected. Very truly yours,
Il. G. Woodruff

PRESS NOTES.
The Barre Anarchists.

I'm the opinion of this paper, there Is
matter for grave concern in the STEADY
growth of the little knot of anarchists III
Barre, WHO celebrate the anniversary OF
the Chicago Haymarket riots, who listen
TO infiammatory speeches and who hiss
the name of the president. 1t is a start
ling thing to reflect on the existence and
possible growth OF this dangerous propa-
ganda right in the heart OF old-iashioned,
patriotic Vermont. 1t is alarming TO oh
serve the power OF a magnetic, persuasive
orator like Galleani over his impulsiVe
countrymen. The situation presents sug-
gestions that are full of sinister signin-
canoe. The anarchist scare of some
years ago has been nearly forgotten, but
it appears to this paper as though the au-
thorIties would do well to observe with
some degree of attention the growth of
this movement and to have it and its
leaders under some sort of systematic
oversigh Journal.

The Vermont supreme court upholds
the weekly payment act passed at the last
Legislative session, in an opinion, the
main features of which appear elsew here
on this page. The railroad companies and
other corporations that have been holding
off will now cbeerfully come down and
comply with the law. The only regretta-
bic feature connected with this outcome
is that an expectant world loses forever
the disclosure promised by the Union
Signal, Lahor's Rutland mouthpiece, of
the dark conspiracy by which the legisla-
ture was made to put through a weekly
payment act that its sponsors and pro-
moters knew to he defective, trusting the
court to undo its work later. The dis
closure was promised only in the event of
the laws overturn-a precaution that
now appears to have been wisely taken.

Stock Keepers Should Read This.

Henry 5. Wilson, the state cattle com
missioner, states that one of the difficult
ties that he runs up against in his posi-
ton is to make some people understand
that the state of Vermont does not guar
antee stock in any way. He frequently
receives requests from stock owners that
the state pay for certain animals of theirs
that have died. They usually accompany
the request with a statement that the
dead animal has been examined by vet
Urinary and is found to have died from
tuberculosis, CHAMBERS, or some similar
disease contagious among animals. The
state does not pay for dead animals unless
they are killed by order of the commits
sioner after being tested. The state is
trying to stamp out tuberculosis and 9TH
er contagious diseases among animals by
inducing all stock owners to have their
cattle tested, and any that are found dis
eased weeded out. When a man keeps a
COW or horse until 1t dies from disease
and thereby spreads the disease a. much
as possible he has no right to expect the
state to pay him for his loss.-Benning-
ton Banner.

Just as good or better The principal
reason, FOR such attempts at substitution
is either the desire OF the storckeeper to

Every reader of this paper should bear
in mind when asking for Vinol, the mod

sale in Randolph at our store only. and
tina. it can always be had when asked for.
The reason Vinol is so far superior to
old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions
is because it is made by scientific, extract
i've and concentrating process from fresh
Gods livers, combining with peptonate of
iron all the medicinal, healing and body
building elements of cod liver oil, but no
