Vermont's Editorial Standard.

"The Republican state committee is
sending to Vermont editors editorial mat

is gratifying to note that a, number of
the state papers are using this material

May. it never come. 1t was not the most
fiattering proposition-that of the state
committee to furnish ready-made editorials
for the state press or any part of it. The
newspapers of the state long ago emerged
from the traditional shears and pastepot

too much to say that no rural press
throughout the land maintains a higher
standard of original editorial work. In

Couldn't Do it Justice.

For a week Vermont minds have been
more or less turned toward Middlebury
in eager expectation that our mutual
friend Joseph Battell would cause his
newspaper The Register to thunder forth
his indignation at the spectacle of the
acknowledgement of Vermont being
hailed before court of justice and fined
for overspeeding his automobile And
now Is great disappointment among and
upon them, for The Register never so
much as peeped. Perhaps the neighbor
found the responsibility too much when
he felt all eyes upon him and thought
that no mortal could live up to such pub.
lie expectations. He had good precept and
example to follow. Once upon a time
there lived in little village a certain
teamster who was known far and wide as
the most voluble and eloquent man in
all the country roundabout. the unrod.

and Amalakites and Hittites and men of
that kind used frequently to tempt him

the wagon so that in a moment the whole

Serious Charge Against Officers.
Rutland Herald)

According to reports from So. London
derry, and other sections, certain deputy
sheitfs of Rutland county made a dis
graceful exhibition of themselves recently,
while ostensibly searching for Elroy Kent.
1t is stated that they assaulted citizen
who did not get out of their way soon
enough to suit them, that they sought
to purchase liquor at the hotel, fourished
bottles of their own, and used vile Ian
guage, and that in fact the bloodhounds
were the only well-behaved members of
the party. This is a pretty serious com
plant to make about any party of men,
much more SO when those men are officers
of the law, and guardians of the peace.
For the sake of the good name of the
state it is to be hoped that the story is a
gross exaggeration and libel on the par
ties accused. If those who are set to
enforce the law SO far forget themselves
as to become public nuisances what can
be expected of those who are under no
such responsibility?

The Fish Hatchery.
Mortified News

k-NbLbhHNih -NtHsI
The state fish hatchery at Roxbury is
undoubtedly doing good work in pro
noting fish culture in the state. II it
pays the state to encourage this work,
as most people believe it does, then there
is no doubt of the value of the hatchery
or the wisdom of its location. With such
well located establishment, as economi
cally conducted as the Roxbury plant,
it would be penny wise and pound fool
ish proposition for Vermont to abandon
it and depend upon the government hat
cherry to supply the fry. As matter of
fact such suggestion from even as able
newspaper as the Burlington Free Press
will hardly be taken seriously. If the
government wishes to locate another
hatchery in Vermont as has been re-
ported, it would do good service to
itself and to the state to obtain site
as near the Roxbury hatchery as possible
instead of wandering around for a new
location in Chittenden county.

The largest vote ever cast BY the "a
ocrats OF Vermont was that Of ia
given to Phelps in 1850, and il i 4
nlticant that there has been a mad
though somewhat irregular decrease
the partys strength from that time

of 1856 for +. Ii. Porter in 1874 was 4
smallest cast by the party in VeHs1
since 1872 in a presidential year with \
single exception OF 1896 when so NJ
democrats refused to support Bryan 4
the vote for governor dropped 10 IN
A noteworthy fact is that the IepV1
can vote often varies to a marked !
gree without affecting the dsmoaI
strength. The democratic vote remand
between 1900 and 10000 in lSA "
and 1892, but in that time the repubhsI
vote jumped from 1854 in ISL to
522 in 1888 and back to 3S9lS in ~
The same thing is to noted in greater |
less degree in other years,
The conclusion to be drawn fron y
comparison is that the republicans
Vermont have secured the mos. maE
cent results not by cutting down
democratic vote, but by getting out u
own vote. This explains why VerDd
stands as an index OF public sentlnsa
throughout the country. Ii our rFl

There is every reason therefore why
republicans of Vermont should MAKE

cellence in this state is far and away
superior TO that Of most rural states.
The way to keep il there, the way to
advance it TO successive heights, is to let
just such institutions as state committees
OF all kinds know publicly that the new:
paper will speak its own editorial mind
in its own way without outside help.
Country journalism has its problems and
its limitations But the newspaper that.
il 1t prints any editorial at all, prints
paragraph and on the losing side OF the
question at that will in the long run
gain more popular confidence and enjoy its
own self respect TO greater degree than
the shlttless sheet that is willing to sail
under false colors and pretend to have
ideas that it never actually thought out
for itself. Honesty is just a. much good
policy for newspapers as for men.

side of Jamaica with rock weighing
about seven tons underneath the for
ward truck of the engine. A wreck
train left here at II O'Clock with a
derrick car to raise the locomotive and
release the. stone, which is firmly
wedged under the truck. While, no
detailed report of the accident has been
received. it is supposed that the rain
of Yesterday loosened the boulder and
allowed it to drop on the track. The
engineer was unable to stop his engine
in time to prevent the accident. No
one was hurt and the damage to the
rolling stock will be slight.

The Brattleboro correspondent of the
Springfield Republican, whom we haz-

things and announces that the greatest
still hunt ever known in Vermont is
now in progress to make Gov. Proctor
the next senator. Close friends of
Gov. Proctor have pronounced the
rumor absurd, and its absurdity lies in
the fact that he never campaigns in
the dark. Sometime, we expect, he
will announce that he is a candidate
for the Senate and then his election
will follow.
