sheffield has one man, 81 years
old, Paul Willard, who has never
cast vote for a presidential candi-

debarred from it in any way, but he
never felt SO disposed Where cal,

Nowhere In the United States can
another such man be found, we trust
Mr.. Willard should be able to glory
in his achievement alone. Stuff &c it
to say that NJ. Willard has little in .
terest in affairs. We respect and
revere gray hairs, but the duty to
vote is solemn an sacred duty no
man should shirk. Let no young
man follow in his footsteps, for the
day will come when the man who
can but does not cast his vote will
be cast aside, and hasten the day =

Are teachers as a class becoming
more and more irresponsible This
town among several has been left
without it's full quota of teachers
just day or two before the time
for opening schools for the spring
term. 1t was due to teachers, I'm
der contract to The town, sending
word at the last minute that they
were not coming. This practice is
becoming more and more common.
Generally no reason is given for not
fulfilling the contracts, nor any re-
grets sent for causing inconvenience
An offer of little more money in
another pl zee causes the teacher to
throw her word of honor to the four
winds, and jump at the new offer
without asking permission to be re-
leased from her 70. mer contract.
Not even a change of employment
is her excuse. The inconvenience
she is causing, as we'll as her liabili
ty to an action at law, seems to be
the least of her troubles.
Let us be thankful that this class
of wage-earners does not constitute
the majority of those whose duty it
is to teach the children to become
honorable and upright citizens.

Food manufacturers all over the
country must take notice that the
COVE nment does not guarantee the
quality of any food or drug put up
under the Pure Food Law. This
is the announcement of Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Agri-
culture this week. There has been
deal of backing and filling, much
bitterness and many conferences at
the Department of Agriculture over
the labels permissible under the
Pure Food Law. The Department
has dictated the form of labels the
manufacturers shall use and has as.
signed each of them a serial number
which is registered at the Depart
ment so that if at any time goods
sold are not up to the standard Of
purity set forth by the label, the Of
tending concern can be readily
traced and convicted of misbrand-
ing.
On the whole it has not been
bad thing for the manufacturers
They have as a rule raised the prices
on most of their prepared foods un-
der the pretext that it cost them
more money to comply with the law
And many of them have been using
the law and the registry as pre-

Story of a Famous Murder,

Assistant District Attorney Train
of New York County tells the whole
story of the Patrick case in the May
american Magazine. It is a great
murder story. The chief figures in
the narrative are, of course, the
lonely millionaire Rice, and the con
spirators Patrick and Jones.
But the conspiracy, ingenious as
it was, crumbled. After reading
MIR. Trains story one sees the force
and propriety of the quotation
which the author prints at the be-
ginning of his article:

author of confusion and lies"
Wreck Damages Settled.
Some of the passengers who went
through the st. Johnsbury & Lake

which w. S. Bailey, of Hardwick

for damages with the railroad COM
pany. The claims adjusted are said
to be as follows: Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
vey Gravelin received $3.50; M. j.
Foley about S75; Archie Barnet
about the same sum; Royce Talbert
$3.50 and doctors bills; Thomas
Barrett $50; Mr.. and Mrs. Gale
$3.50 and doctors attendance; and a
few others, but slightly injured, set

What Others Say.

Some of the veterans & The Civil
War who have not applied for pen
sion for various reasons. now that
the government has granted serv-
ice pension to all the survivors OF
that great conflict, are at their wits
ends to know what to do with it.
Former Commissioner Eugene
Ware, who watched the applicants
for pensions with an eagle eye while
in office, and who had conspicuous
" framed motto over his desk an
nouncing that GOOD Hates Liar, .
has decided to bestow his pension
upon the child of soldier, and will
so transfer it.
But the most unique disposition OF
the service pension we have noted is
that of Capt. e. F. Griswold of
St. Johnsbury, who has devoted bis
to r. e. Lee Camp of Confederate
Soldiers at Richmond, VT, for an
inmate of soldiers home Gin recog-
nition of kindness 81 own me while a
prisoner. Captain Griswold served
three years in the Union army and
was twice an inmate of Libby pris-
on, having once been once recap
tured an i returned to that malodor-
Gus spot after having travelled 800
miles north toward the Union
lines 1t may be surprise, to most
people, even forty yeals after the
war, that anybody received ''kind
ness in Libby prison We have
been led to believe that kindness
was one of the qualities conspicu-
Gus by its absence within those walls.
But the st. Johnsbury veteran
ought to know what his experience
was and his gift of Uncle Sans
money to help support an ex-rebel
shows that his gratitude is real, and
has a foundation in fact The Incl
dent at any rate serves to illustrate
the truth that the war is over, and
that men are more and more coming
to realize that there is no North, no
South, but one country.-Rutland

In the report of the stewards at
the recent Vermont Methodist Con-
ference at st. Jphnsbury, it APP
peared that of the 124 pastors in
that conference only seven receive q
salary of over $1,000, while 48 are
paid salaries less than $500. One of
three results must follow during the
next five years: higher salaries must
be paid; fewer churches sustained;
or the quality of the ministers will
deteriorate.
It may be rank heresy to say it,
but we believe if the orthodox
churches in the smaller towns could
and would merge into one strong
organization, the cause of religion
would gain more adherents.

richest men in the country praisino

\ WOLF WILL BITE.

4 Columbus. O.. animal keeper. a former ndmirer of the president and pr.ss.,nably therefore. a member of the an,I-Foraker-Dick faction. has con- :. yir..r,, himself or has become Conyinc- .-.i that the administration is not infal IihI.
 When the controversy between the pr-siien; and Dr. Long concerning the marn..s and customs of the wolf. was : in ,cog-ess. the animal keeper enthu- s.asticauy endorsed the presidents s:.c,u.,. that the wolf would not attack a human being.
 Since then the animal keeper ha. been attacked and badly lacerated by one of his own wolves and he now comedies that either he and the na- tional administration did not know all about wolves or else that he is himself not a human being.
 FaIsus in uno falsus in omni. IL will be easy now for this animal keep er to distrust the wisdom of the pres iaen,s multifarious doctrines. 4 man who does not know that wolf will b,.e may not really know who started the shooting at Brownsville.
 4 man so lacking in correct infor- nation regarding lupine habits might very easily be on the wrong side of the Hartman Roosevelt controversy. The naturalist who imagines that man is immune against the fangs or q wolf is very liable to have erred about the race suicide business. The gashes which the animal keeper con- templates on his hands and arms justly raise a doubt in his mind re- sarding the inborn iniquity of the railroads and the trusts.
 When that wolf was tearing that an- imal keeper he was shaking an idol on its pedestal.
