AN oDIous COMPARISON.

The Phoenix and the local correspond
ent of the Springfield Republican in apol
ogizing for the late and lamented republi-
can caucus remind us forcibly of the color
dispute between the pot and the kettle.
When their candidate is charged with in
defensible methods used at that caucus, in
stead of denying they Immediately confess
and seek absolution by saying that Bacon
and Holden did it too, and further insin-
uate that everyone who voted at the eau
Gus thereby became accessories and must
acquiesce in the ends, no matter by what
means they were brought about. 1t would
have been better defence of Mr.. Barber
and his methods to have denied the
charges, as we understand Messrs. Bacon
and Holden have done, than to have put
make some garments for the defeated can
didates from the remnants.
The apologists further pursue the same
methods in endeavoring to justify the suit
brought by H. G.. Barber against the Sc
lectmen and in which the formers broth
er, F. E. Barber, was plaintiff, by saying
that other attorneys have sued the town
and citing as bright and shining exam
pie the fact that Bacon & Hooker brought
an action in behalf of Eugene Frost in
1902. The comparison too is rather odious
for the reason that Mr.. Frost was not a
member of the firm of Bacon & Hooker,
that he had good cause of action which
the selectmen recognized by paying sub
stantial sum in settlement and that he
was the actual owner of the real estate

In an excellent article in the Saturday
Evening Post on the Importance of germ
free milk DR.. Woods Hutchinson points
out that milk free from germs will keep
sweet for days and even weeks provided
of course that the temperature is kept
down. With this fact in mind all of us
can get relative idea of the purity of
the milk which we are buying House
wives who find that their milk or cream
will not keep sweet more than few hours
may rest assured that the fluid is saturat-
ed with microbes of one kind or another
and that fully 80 per cent of these germs
get into the milk through carelessness in
handling it. If people will apply this test
and refuse to accept milk which is mani
testify full of germs the dealers themselves
will be obliged to use proper care in order
TO stay in business.

BARRE 'Times)

In spite of the fact that the recent re
port on taxation was in favor of creating
tax commission, it is undoubtedly the
destructive era in Vermont, for on TOP
of the Burlington Free Press mild doubt
if the fish hatchery pays and the Rutland
Herald's summary destruction of the
office of attorney general, now comes the
st. Adams Messenger with the demand
that military titles be taken from officials
in the various drill teams of fraternal
organizations. To continue the de-
structive work, we would rip the braid
off our governors staff" and reduce its
members to private citizens glad of job
without any ttular frills or furbelows.
General This" and Colonel That" march
adown the front, and what they don't
know about military matters would fill
a book of tactics from cover to cover.
1t is terrible waste of some of our real
name when the owner of the name never
earned the right to wear it. Ask the
opinion of a man who has earned the
title and see what he has got to say about
it. His opinion is to be respected, too.

Some Of the Barber supporters have
been arguing for his election on the
ground that it is necessary for Brattle-
boro to have republican representative
in the legislature this fall to ensure the
election OF a republican as United States
senator. As if there was any likelihood
Of the choice of democrat! In all prob
ability there will not be enough democrats
in the legislature to hold caucus and
present nominee, let alone any liability
Of electing him. Furthermore, Brattle-
boro is not choosing representative for
any such purpose. She wants a man fitted
to do conscientious service in behalf of
his town and the whole state. She had
such a man in Oscar Marshall, she had
such a man in James Conland, she will
have such man in NJ. j. Moran-all
democrats, but all willing and able to
serve faithfully and well.

Battle of Bennington Day.
(Springfield Republican,

1t is enough to make the bodies of the
influential Vermonters who toiled so long
to rear Bennington's battle monument
turn in their graves that the Burlington
News and St. Adams Messenger, abetted
by other papers in the state, advise the
abolition of the holiday known as Ben
nington battle day. The complaint is that
it is sham and nuisance to have the
banks and post Offices closed while most
people keep about their working-day rou-
tine. There is no Bennington battle day
holiday spirit in Vermont. And it can
not be made by law 1t might pay to try
and secure special historical observances
that would help to redeem the holiday
from growing disrespect, although annual
effort of this kind would pail. At any
rate the old home days could be appoint
ed for August l6. This is the one dis
tinctive Green mountain holiday, and are
the people so soon to tire of it? 1t is to
be said in general that the holidays legal
lied by the nation and state do not need
adding to, and perhaps Vermont will in
time undo what she has done.

Our Usual Bear Dance.

Brattleboro has its usual political bear
dance this fall. In republican caucus OF
over 100 votes, one of the candidates Sc
cured a clear majority over both the 9th
ers, whereupon some OF the defeated ones
organized bolt in behalf of the demo.
cratic nominee. The caucus methods were
so reprehensible that even Congressman
Haskins condemned them and said he
should not feel bound by such action,
They consisted of passing cigars out with
ballots, hustling in voters by conveyance
and active horseshedding near the polls,
all done, it is alleged by hired workers in
the way familiar to modern politics.
