Served Him Right.

1t was tough to make Schmitz take a
Mrs. Caudle lecture from the judge on
top of a five years sentence Barre
Times.
We beg to differ. In the first place the
remarks of the court were not a curtain
lecture, but reminder to the deposed
mayor of one of the largest cities in the
United States that he had broken the
confidence and betrayed the trust that
the people of San Francisco had reposed
in him. In the second place he deserved
both the rebuke and the sentence. The
graft that he and Boss Ruef received
before the earthquake from the French
restaurants was incompatible to the
receipts from the municipal crib" and
the other dives which have been estab-
lished since the calamity. San Francisco
before the earthquake had the rottenest
politics in the United States; since that
calamity the politics and the labor
situation have been even worse. During
the recent car strike and since its settle
ment man took his own life in his
hands that attempted to even board a
car. And vice has always been so gilded
as to close half its evil by losing all its
grossness."
For few days after the earthquake
Mayor Schmitz was a real hero and that
was the time that he said he had been
born again But unfortunately for San
Francisco his new birth was of short
duration and he fell back into the mire.
So, we say, he deserves no pity, but to
quote from Judge Dunno, Stands moral
ly killed, shamed and disgraced."

CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.
Congratulations Are Due.

Congratulations to ex-Gov. Carroll S.
Page and his Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company!
The company with the long name has
passed the million dollar mark-a re-
markable record, considering its environ
ment and the character Of its clientele.
Another remarkable thing is that every
cent of this million dollars is invested in
Vermont to foster Vermont industries
and to develop Vermont's enterprises. "
1t is stated that the bank does not own
a dollar of doubtful paper and that it
never had dollars worth of real estate
except the bank building which was
charged to profit and loss some years
ago.
Once more, congratulations = Bur

A Parents Plea.

My little boy is eight years old,
He goes to school each day;
He doesn't mind the tasks they set
They seem to him but play.
He heads his class at raffia work.
And also takes the lead
At making dinky paper boats
But wish that he could read.
They teach him physiology,
And, oh, it chills our hearts
To hear our prattling innocent
Mix up his inward parts.
He also learns astronomy
And names the stars by night
OF course he's very up-to-date,
But wish that he could write
They teach him things botanical,
They teach him how to draw;
He babbles of mythology
And gravitation's law;
The discoveries of science
With him are quite fad,
They tell me he's clever boy.
But / wish that he could add.

Play Fair.

p W. Clement was the winner of
several blue ribbons at the Rutland
Horse Show. Mr.. Clement is certainly
to be congratulated that he is at last
numbered among the winners; and yet
we are compelled to say that in this
instance the people were not privileged
to be the judges Il Brandon Union
That is an unfair slap.
Mr.. Clement won on merit and the
judges were chosen delegates of the
people.
Play fair.
Because you do not agree with Mr..
Clement politically is no reason for not
giving him credit for what he does.
Mr.. Clement has done much for the
development of the resources of Vermont
and is one of its most successful business
men.
Vermont needs more men like Mr.

"principle," the Senator would
fight it out on that line if it took a
score Of summers; the President,
crashing his teeth and squaring
his jaw, would stand by his per-
ogative even though gaped awide
the resilient earth. And now!
Why they kiss and make friends
under the soothing address of the
complaisant committee which kow-
tows to the tender sensibilities of
both parties to the controversy;
the racial question is given "a
lasting quietus;" the discordant
Republican elements are unified,
and the Democrats are discounted.
Great Scott! OF what divine at

possessed! l wonder If its ses-
sions were opened and closed with
prayer, and, If so, how much of
the petitions was addressed to the
throne of grace on high, and how
much to the Joss astride of the
official slot machine.

IF war should ever come be-
tween the United States and Japan
and the little heather, 1t is said,
are even now boasting about what
they will do to us in such event
the Philippine Islands will be
made the point of attack. There
is the weak spot in Uncle Sans
anatomy, invitingly assailable to
the enemy. The requirement of
those islands was the result Of
neither reason nor patriotism. 1t
was both wicked and assinine-as
assinine as wicked and as wicked
as assinine. Just how much
"graft" was in the $40, 900, 900 paid
Spain for her alleged rotton bor-
ough no man has ever been able
to find out; but to my mind, ac-
crediting the American agents with
even the average modicum of
common boss sense, if there was
no graft" their action is mex
plicable. At the time of the trans
action, not one citizen of the Re-
public in a million desired or even
thought of attaching eight or ten
million half-savage niggers to this
already too deeply tinged gov
eminent. But our masters acted
for the people and all the latter
have to do is to pay the bills
drawn upon them for blood and
money. Left to popular vote, this
country would rid itself of this
Mckinley purchase without delay;
but these days the voice of the
people can be raised only when
their overlords at Washington give
permission. But what / started
out to say is this: where is the
patriotic citizen to-day who can
not see the menace-the standing
menace feyer-plagued and
exposed possessions are to the
peace and welfare of our country?
And who so mentally warped but
must say to his inmost sense Of
justice, every evil that may flow
from this source we have brought
upon ourselves, and no matter
how dire the results, they are but
our deserving!'

The hidden candidacy of Teddy
for a third term is beginning to
make itself apparent, as is shown
in the remarks of Judge Spencer
of st. Louis, recently on a visit to
Washington, printed in last weeks
issue. Senator Burton's Home-Rule
seems to understand the situation,
as per the following:
When Jefferson was asked by
the Maryland Legislature to ac-
cept a third term, he answered
''If some termination to the SER
vice of the chief magistrate be not
fixed by the constitution, or sup
piled by practice, his office, norm
ally four years, will, in fact, be-
come for life, and history shows
how easily that degenerates into
an inheritance" When Mr.. Roose-
welt was asked to accept a third
term his private secretary declined
it. Again and again has Secre-
tary Loeb rejected the offer, but
w. H. Taft of Ohio wears a mark
which when removed will expose
a third term profile.

COURTS become indignant-very
indignant-when any form of I'M
righteous influence is alleged to
govern their decisions. Yet his
tory abounds with instances where
Judges have oppressed the peo-
pie, sold justice by the dollars
worth, and were stepped in cor
ruption. No doubt any one of
them would have boiled over in
righteous wrath had his integrity
been called in question, and would
have put the offender in the pill
lory, after first slicing his ears and
Sitting his nose. To say that
there r no corrupt Judges to-day
is to assume that the donning of
the ermine cleanses the heart, I'M
soils the hand, and deyitalizes
temptation. For one, as | grow
older | become less credulous, and
heterodoxy is SO entwined with
my years that the glamour of Of
fetal title and flowing robes does
not blind me to the fact that the
wearers are ''poor, miserable sin
ners," the same as the rest of us.
While | am proud of the record Of
made by American Courts, as a
class, there are instances where
their decisions show the influence

tend to slay unquestioning faith.

ACCIDENT AT ROOSEVELT.

An accident happened at Roosevelt
sunday morning by which Moses Muir
phv. one of the cement experts ana
foreman for the government, lost his
life. Just how the accident happened
is not fully known. From the best IN
formation obtainable by phone from
the dam site, it seems that Murphy
had gone to the dam early to inspect
some work. when one of the skips
came down and struck him on the head
an chest, crushing the life out of him.
No one it appears. was there at the
time. II is thought that Murphy was
not expecting theiskips to be in use
at that time and was so intent on his
duties that he failed to receive warn
ing. The body was buried at Roose-
welt at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
Moses Murphy was man about for
~ wears of age, was married and had
four children. His family is at Roose-
welt, and the widow is heart broken at
the terrible tragedy which has come
so suddenly into her life. Murphy was
brought here through Mr.. Duryea, who
has charge of the cement mill. and
was a man who stood high in the es-
timation of his associates. His death

will Al Millet cannot be accused or
cruelty to animals. He has in fact,
shown more consideration for his
horses than any man we have yet seen
in this section. His horses work and
do good work. and he made uD his
mind that they should have all the
comfort possible while they were in
his service. He has rugged up a shade
that is quite a unique affair, and cas-
lily constructed.
BY means of small gas pipe and can
vas. the horses are protected from the
hot sun at all hours of the day. The
pipe is attached to the tongue. both at
the rear and front: other pipe acts as
upright supports to spread OF can
vas which is stretched above the ami
mails The weight OF the shade is very
small and is so evenly distributed that
it is no particular burden to the ami
mails The comfort they get by being
shaded from the hot rays Of the sun
is an important item, to say nothing
of the additional work they can do on
a hot day and suffer no i'll effects
from the exertion. Mr. Millet's inven-
ton is likely to become popular with
horse owners who have the welfare of
their animals at heart.
