CURIOUS ELECTION QUESTION.
Bethel Uncertain Whether 1t Elected
Road Commissioners or Not.


Bethel, March 15.-This town has
been considerably disturbed since town
meeting over the possible illegality 81
the election Of its two road commissions
ers, II, I. Washburn and c. II. Dustin.
The town voted to have two road com
missioners and then halloted. After two
ballots, by which no choice had been
made, 1t was voted that the two can.
didates having the largest number Of
votes on the next ballot should be de.
ciared elected Mr.. Washburn received
81 votes on the third ballot and Mr..
Dustin 90, and the moderator declared
them elected. !
The question then arose If they should
not have been balloted for separately
in order to have a legal election. The
matter was referred to lawyer w. b. c.
Stickney, who has given IL as his opin.
ion that each of the 0l voting for Wash
burn and Of the 80 voting for Dustin
knew what he was about, and that there
were two road commissioners to be elect
ed by ballot. Since they all united har-
moniously in tho decision that the two
candidates having the largest number 81
votes should be declared elected, the
unanimous action of the meeting must
be treated as valid and effective if II
can be made 80.
He adds that any action Of the Sc.
lectmen tending to deprive either Wash,
burn or Dustin Of his right to act az
Iroad commissioner viii be very likely tc
involve the town in expensive and profit
less litigation.

Golden weddIng Annlversary.

About forty of the friends, neighbOrs,
and relatives OF Mr.. and Mrs. s. G..
Drew called at their pleasant home in
South Royalton the afternoon and
evening Of Friday, March i, TO offer
congratulations and extend good wishes,
the occasion being the fftieth anniyer-
sary 81 their wedding.
Because of q recently broken family
circle, and the fact that neither Mr..
nor Mrs. Drew was in robust health
the family had reluctantly relinquished
the cherished hope Of anything but a
quiet observance OF the OCCASION
s. Clement Drew, OF Randolph, and
Helen A. Smith, Of Tunbridge, were
married in Tunbridge March /, 1887,
and began life together ON a farm in
BrookAeld where they lived one year,
moving then to Randolph. IN 1865
they went to Royalton 20 the farm now
owned BY John sherlock.
After almost twenty years Of pros
porous farming, Mr.. Drew built the
house now occupied by him and Mrs.
Drew. Forty-two years OF their mar
ried life have now been passed in Roy
alton.

grandchildren.
Three other couples in the same part
of the town enjoy the distinction OF
having reached their golden wedding
milestone. One of these is Mr.. and
Mrs Benjamin G. Latham, for many
years residents Of Randolph, later re.
turning to their early home, whose
farm adjoins that OF Mr.. Drew. To
these two successful dairymen largely
falls the honor Of winning for their inn

IS NOT THE COURT RIGHT,

A somewhat peculiar condition of af- nection with the ever vital subject of woman's rights. That State has a penal law" which forbids the employ ment of women at any time before o'clock in the morning or after o'clock in the evening. From a verdict in one of the lower courts the question was carried to the Court of Appeals. and that tribunal rendered an opinion de- claring the said penal law unconsti- tutional
 From a strictly common sense point of view this opinion appears to De sound sense Even in the States where women have fewest rights under the law, they are not classed along with the children, but are permitted to ex- ercise many rights which are not granted to the children themselves. In these later are theyl better?-days the women all over the country are in yadng mans territory with almost startling rapidity, until at present very few indoor occupations, either mental or physical, are barred. In the offices. the stores and the shops they are taking the places formerly held by the men and are doing the work we'll It will freely be admitted, we think. that either through choice or necessity they frequently occupy posi- lions for which they are not fitted, and which they ought not to fill. but has the law any right to forbid them?
 We fully and heartily agree with

Mir. Bryap,s statesmansAip.


 Mir, Bryan sees some evil in the new rate law" He refers, probably, to the effect of enforcing the old anti-re- bate law He says that the railroads now get the money which they have been giving in the form of rebates. He Is also grieved by one effect of the law forbidding the granting of railroad passes. He says that the rail roads now get the money from those who used to travel free. He further says, or so he Is reported. When I find a man who Is constantly talking against government ownership of rail- road believe that he is doing 1t from his own interests" This was all said in a speech which MT Bryan made at Norfolk. Virginia. In the same speech he is reported as suggesting that the South should recall the fact that although it gives more electoral votes than the North to a Democratic candidate. the North gIves the larger Democratic popular vote It Is unnec- essary to comment elaborately on these nuggets. The man who regrets that one who has wickedly bribed an other, and has been driven from his offending for the future. will hereafter get his honest dues. Is quite capable of counting a big minority as imnort- ant in an election as a small majority: while one who is convinced that an other is self-seeking and perhaps corrupt man because that other diff fers from him. must often he struck with the uhiduitousness of greed and seIf-seektng when he reads the returns of elections in which he has been the leading candidate.
