Temperance in Language.

Is not Secretary Ferguson of the Yer
mont Anti-Saloon league whacking his
best friends when he calls all men liars,
simply because he fancies that an editor
or two does not always tell the truth?
The Vermont press, speaking general
ly, was preaching and practicing tenn
perance long before the present secre-
tary of the league came into active ser
vice. and there is an occasional news
paper man, even in Vermont, who re
members the hours of church service and
can even recall the pastors text and
what he preached about.
Let's not forget that there is a Ian

Has Nothing to Retract.
Az. Alhans Messenger.l

The Messenger has taken pleasure, in
printing Congressman Haskins's explain
alton that the recent newspaper inter
view purporting to express his. opinions
in regard to candidates for the presi,,
dency was not authorized by him and
only inaccurately reported what was
supposed to be private conversation.
The Messenger took occasion at the time
Of the publication of the interview" to
dissent from some of the congressman's
conclusions. Inasmuch as those conclu-
sions do not appear to be retracted in
his recent explanation, The Messenger
sees no occasion to do any retraeting on
its part.

No Apology Needed.
montpelier Journal)

Congressman Haskins says he was
misauoted by the wicked reporter in the
now celebrated presidential" interview.
He did not know he was being inter
viewed and told the reporter not to PRINT
anything he said. This, Of course, is all
beside the question, which Is, substan-
tally, that Mr.. Haskins is for Uncle
Joe Cannon for president, against TAFT
and opnosel to Mr.. Roosevelt's anti
constitutional policies in toto. And
all this, by the way, needs no special
apology

A special committee of the Spring
field, Mass, board of trade is busy de-
vising a means of checking the. inroads
of fake charities solicitors on the
purses of business men. The object Of
this plan is to make it impossible for
anyone to solicit funds for any char
table or benevolent purpose without
having a card of Endorsement from
the board of trade. 1t is proposed to
have on these cards brief statement
of the purpose and value of the charity
for which funds are being solicited,
the board of trade s Endorsement and
the amount Of money the solicitor is
receiving for his work. 1t is also pro
posed to ask each solicitor for an es-
tablished institution to produce an
audited and sworn statement OF all
moneys previously received and ex-
pended, so that it may be possible for
the committee to know whether money
given would be wasted or not. Brat
tIeboro has not contributed as much to
fake charities as some of the cities and
larger towns hereabouts but without
doubt it has given its share-more per
haps than it knows about. In any case
the adoption of a method of this kind
would be worth considering.

vermonters Surprised.


Congressman Haskins must not forget
that Uncle Joe" Cannon has been TO
Vermont several times and that several
thousand Vemonters have seen him and
heard him speak. He is not the kind OF
a man they would pick out for presi'
dent and they are surprised to see their
representative in congress, reared 20 the
same old New England ideas OF men
and things, make such man his first
choice for that exalted Office.

Talk, Talk, Talk.


Congressman Haskins comes out with
n statement in explanation OF the crit
ciged interview of few weeks ago, lie
saws he did not say things TO be said;
saws he said things that were not said
as said, and said some things that were
not said in interview, and some that
were. Now be says things Of what was
said about what he said that should not
have been said. Talk, talk, talk.

Vermont s next murder ease to come
to trial will begin in Bennington
county court next week before Judge
Seneca Haselton who presided over
the recent Fairbanks ease in Windham
county. The respondent in this case is
Alfred Mahan Of North Bennington,
Who is accused with brutally murder
ing his little niece. Ethel, near Lake
Paran last April. The details Of the
Mahan murder are too revolving ana
TOO well remembered to need further
mention at this time. They will be
given all too much publicity during
the progress of the trial Mahan, like
Fairbanks, is without means to pro-
vide himself with counsel for defence
and attorneys have been assigned by
the state. As in the Fairbanks case
also, the trend of the defence will be
insanity and alienists who have OBJ
served the respondents condition since
the murder will be called upon to testi-
fy in his behalf. The crime of Mahani
like that Of Fairbanks, had no wit
pesses and the state will have to de-
pend for conviction of murder in the
first degree on the confession of the
respondent. In the light of the Fair
banks verdict it will be interesting to
note how efrectual the insanity plea
can be made in the Mahan case.
