The Waterbury asylum affords the
criminal more than a single promise OF
freedom, it appears. The Windsor con-
vict only has to simulate insanity for q
time, when he is sent to Waterbury for
" observation" II 1t appears that doubt
exists as to his sanity, be gets the benefit
OF that doubt and stays at Waterbury,
which is much pleasanter than Windsor.
After time, when he is ''cured." the
court may discharge him, as II did Mil
dred Brewster, or he may be worked out
as the Bau girl was. But il this is too
long coming. why, it's an easy way over
the fence to freedom, as Elroy Kent found
it. Either we ought to have criminal
insane ward at Windsor, or an insane
criminal ward at Waterbury, and it
ought never to be overlooked that wheth-
er these people are insane OF not, they are
certainly criminal, and should be guarded
and treated as such, for the public's pro-
lection.

other duties devolving upon them.
Would the News suggest a time card or q
punch-the-bell continuance for keeping
the members on their jobf And who is
to put such plan into forcef The legis-
lators themselves? Not much. The
docking" scheme might work well in
the News office-for the help-but would
the proprietor consider himself debsrred
from the profits of the days business il
he should chance to be late in the MORN
ing, or on duty an hour? For the time
being, the members OF the assembly are
the "proprietors," and they don't over
look that fact-not for one moment. Put
up with them as they are, and render
thanks that they are no worse.

No SIN Hunt for Proctor.

The Burlington Free Press 10 exactly
right when 1t says that the report that a
still hunt is being conducted for the
election OF Gov. r. ID. Proctor TO the
United States Senate .'lacks consistency"
The Free Press adds:-"Every yermonter
knows that Governor Proctor's greatest
strength, should he desire public Office,
would be in an open appeal TO the Yer
mont public Gov. Proctor Is easily the
most popular man in Vermont today,
and had he chosen to be candidate for
the Senate he would have been supported
with enthusiasm all over the state. He
is not likely to appear in q role entirely
foreign to that which has always chsrsc-
terized his actions. In other words
Fletcher ID. Proctor Is not q gum-shoe

Bellows Fails and its paper mills. There
is much truth in what The Messenger has
TO say about the thrift of towns and cities
whose economic welfare depends not on the
activity of one particular branch Of bust
ness. but upon a variety OF industries.
On this account trade organizations are
wise II they devote their energies toward
securing a number OF small industries
rather than attempting to interest the
big concerns. Five concerns employing
20 hands each will add much more to
the industrial stability OF town than
one concern employing 100 hands.-Brat'

Windsor county Republicans show good

How to Avoid Appendicitis.

Most victims of appendicitis are those
who are habitually constipated. Foiey's
Orino laxative cures chronic constipation
by stimulating the liver and bowels and

The Mex, Vermont Senate.

While the unexpected II always liable
TO happen, II will probably be true in
zoos as in average years that q republican
nomination for the Vermont Senate is
equivalent TO an election. This being the
case, ii is easy at this time to scan the per-
sonnet OF the upper branch of the legis-
isture which will make and unmake laws
during the coming session, the Republic
cans of all the counties in the State hav-
ing made their nominations for the SEN
ate. The list OF nominations is as fol-
lows:

Middlebury.
Bennington.-Dr. Everett <. Potter of
PownaI and Edward c. orvis of Man
chester.

that the election of the men nominated
will ensure a strong Senate. and one
that may be trusted to keep up the trsdi
tons OF that representative body. II ws,
expected at one time that there would b
an unusually small number OF lawyers Of

We see nothing undignified or censur-
able in Taft's following the precedent
of Bryan in using the photograph record
to reproduce short speeches. 1t was not
q bad precedent to follow, merely because
Bryan set it. The photograph has q

that almost rivals the press. Perhaps
Taft's or Bryan's speeches heard by phon-

many voters, but the sound Of the human

like voting contest for newspaper sub

True and wise children of God are

we know that he pays no attention to
the words of the Gospel and to the
promises he has made to some business
man for the payment of some Just and
honest account that he owes. We Ger
tainly cannot enjoy their crocodile
tears or depend on the sincerity OF the
devotion of such person that ignores
to meet his just debts. | am truly con
fident his chances are lessened for
Heaven, for willful violation of the
Gospel. If a man has not enough
grace Of God to make him honest, l

Biblical standpoint, that he is not

not secure the profound sympathy OF
my heart. | have no hesitation in say
ing this because it is the truth ands l
have no mental reservation or equiyo-
cation in saying the church ought TO
unload all such from their fellowship
because the outside world would have
more confidence in the religious peo-
| pie, because the outside world uses
this standard to measure religious peo-
pie. They pick out such and say,
"BiIl Jones is no better than |. He
won't pay his Just debts. - Don't be
