TO large, juicy head. BY grape
vine telegraph the Voice is inform
ed that Jones had threatened to
arrest Arneson for gambling, and
when the latter met the deputy in
the office he jestingly asked him il
he was going to swear out the war
rant. Arneson's question rasped
ION Jones, and also cast insinuations
against the peace and dignity of the
law. so the deputy yanked a blum
sderbuss from his garments and
5pinted it most distressingly in the
direction of the pursuer of Dame
Fortune. A number of destined
.metropolitians Immediately fell on
the deputy and took away his artill-
.ery-it was given to Nick Schoroe-
der, town constable, for safe keep
ing. Nick took the weapon gin
gerly between his thumb and first
=fnger, carried it over to the First
State Bank. placed it in the safe
deposit vault, locked the door and
wound barb wire around the out
side. Arneson went to Washburn
Immediately to have a warrant
made out for. Jones arrest, but as
the States Attorney was not in the
city at the time he was unable to
secure the papers. Reports state
that feeling is running high in Nc
Clusky, and Arneson states that
he will push the matter to the ut
most. 1t has been reported to the
Voice that if it is impossible to get
out warrant for Jones in this
cou 1ty that special grand jury
will be called to investigate the
matter, but the Voice is of the opin-
ion that Mr.. Nuessle is absolutely
in issuing warrants, and
if he thinks that the case should be
tried he will issue the necessary
papers without question. 1t has
also been stated that if Mr.. Nuessle
does not feel justified in issuing the
papers that delegation of Nc
CIusky citizens will wait upon
Attorney General McCue. AS to
the merits Of the case, this paper
does not presume to know, but it
does know that many of the peo-
pie Of McClusky are very bitter
against Deputy Jones and will do
all in their power to oust him from
the deputyship. Be as it may, the
small school children now walk on
tip toe. with bated breath, when
they pass the First State Bank and
gaze with awe and apprehension,

PROSPERITY
NO DOUBT
WILL STAY
To the Fore With the Man Who
Smiles Upon Present
Conditions.
The Future Holds In Store Still
Greater Measures Of Bus
mess Success.

Abas the knocker, thc calamity
howler, and likewise the long faced
pessimist. To the fore with the
man who smiles pleasantly upon
conditions as they exist, and, with
a wisdom born of a knowledge of
actual facts, sees nothing in the
present but good, and in the future,
prosperity and industrial activity
that must, perforce, go forward
indefinitely.
This country has had periods Of
phenomenal prosperity, followed
by time Of commercial depress-
ion. There is theory that the
commerce Of the country moves in
cycles or waves, and it is the
history of every period of great
prosperity that there have arisen
prophets in Israel men who have
seen visions and dreamed dreams,
and who, with solemn countenance
and words of ominous warming,
saw dire calamity and financial
ruin staring the country in the
face. Some of these men have
been high in the ranks Of astute
inanciers: and in the past their
words have carried much weight.
Nothing so fosters a feeling Of un-
easiness and unrest as the constant
agitation of this depression"
theory. Retrenchment, and sus-
pended activity OH the part of in
dustrial interests are followed by a
tightening of the money market,
not of themselves serious, but
brought about by the continual
cry Of ''wolf, WOLF" and leading up
to the actual depression and panic
which follows.
Far be it from us to contend that
actual conditions are not largely
responsible for the rise and fall of
industrial activity. We do con-
tend. however, that these con-
ditions, and especially times OF
business depression. are greatly
aggravated by the wall of the
pessimist.
Given: man shows the slight
est symptoms Of disease, nand let
each friend as he meets him re-
mark upon his wretchea appear
ance, and the serious aspect Of his
physical condition, and the result
is certain. Serious illness actually !
comes brought about by the men,
til processes of the victim, who
was encouraged to believe that he
| was sick man.
Tt will be noted that we have re-
ferred to the pernicious influence
Of calamity bowling entirely in the
past tense, and as referring to con-
ditions existing in times gone by,
There is with us today the man at
the forefront of the battlefields of
business, who is clothing himself
in sack cloth and ashes and rend-
ing his raiment while he pours
forth his long-drawn out cry of
calamity. But it falls upon ears
that hear only the whirr Of the
wheels of commerce, and that bend
ing close to the ground can catch
the rumble Of still greater things
to come.
Those unfailing business ba-
ror,eters the trade journals, are
filled with incontrovertible evi-
dences Of prosperity come to stay.
Dun's Review says, for example,
that bank exchanges at the princi-
pal cities have. surpassed last
years, railway earnings have been
larger, bank failures fewer. and the
price Of commodities has advanced

Lester Sebastian, the well known
Keene, n. H., baseball player, has sign
ed a contract to catch for the Bridge
port team of the Connecticut league
the coming season. Sebastian played
in Brattleboro several times last sum
mer as catcher of the Keene team and
his elean-cut work attracted the at
tention of all local fans.
Some of the basketball dates which
have been arranged by Manager Riley
are the following: Jan, 25, Turner's
Falls here; Feb. 2, Fall River here;
Feb. s, St Johnsbury here; Feb. 10, st.

As citizen | stand uncovered in the
presence of such sacrifice to make this
world physically safer and morally better.
For sanitation is a mighty moral force
Among the things needed in Brattle-
boro might be named the following:
4 playground for the full exercise OF
the lung and leg OF the youth of this
village-all of us included. The boy wants
to yell and throw snow las do the girls,
and where now may these things be done,
with prohibition placarded ON the trees
preached by all the teachers, threatened
by all the town and village fathers?
A place for the care of local consump-
tivcs Your health officer could run a
sanitarium for consumptiyes on Main
strcet-given the authority and money
with resulting better health for the suf-
fcrers, with absolute safety for the neccs-
sary attendants, and with infinitely more
safety for the rest OF MS in the village.
No keeping of the younger school chill
dren in room occupied all day, after
the usual hours, without a very wise and
sane reason.

body polite who expect to 90 10 Mont

ago in the annual report of the state
board of health il was written: "a com
petent state sanitary engineer, appointed
by and under the direction of the state
board of health, with regular salary
paid By the state, would be good in
vestment for the state TO make, return
ing more than the expense of his office

by the prevention of disease

would, for a local example, have re-
lieved the long travail OF our water
board and given birth to better things.
He would know when, how and where,
The exact construction, location, grade
and capacity Of our village sewers; the
ventilation Of our school houses, churches,
public halls. in exact knowledge, without
any glittering generalities, and how to
make the best disposition Of the sewerage
from West Brattleboro, an important fn-
ture need, also how to dispose of the

Noted Singer Dead.

A message was received at Bennington
Monday from Burlington, Ia, stating
that Henry Squires who claimed to be
the first American singer to appear in
Italian opera in Italian cities, was dead.
Mr.. Squires was a native of Bennington,
having been born there May 7, 1926. He
was the first American tenor to appear
in grand opera in Italy, his first concert
in career of nearly twenty-five years in
Europe being in Naples. He retired some
twenty years ago, but in the early COS
he was one of the leading vocalists in this
country and Europe, and as tenor was
said to have had few superiors. He began
his career as a singer in Troy in connect
ion with the late William Warren of that
city, who was for thirty years organist at
st. Thomas Church in New York. About
1850 he came into prominence as a grand
opera singer after course of several
years study in Europe. He sang parts
in The Bohemian Girl, Robert the Devil,
Carmen and many others. 1t is said that
he had memorized the tenor parts of 81
different operas.
