That Horrible M id way.

The Midway is quite apt to be ban
ished as an attraction at the Valley fair
at Brattleboro, if the Phoenix has its
way. That paper says:
''The midway has been given a trial
of two years at the Valley fair and, as a
feature, it has proved a failnre. There
are some legitimate attractions, like the
Ferris wheel and merry-go- round, which
furnish amusement for the children
which can be retained to advantage, but
the cheap vaudeville shows and the so
called fakirs are a blemish on the high
grade agricultural fair. With the pres
ent quarters at the fair ground there is
no place for midway without making
1T conspicuous. The bankers in front of
the tents are within sight and hearing
of everybody, going and coming, and
their brazen cries make a discordant din
from the opening to the closing of the
fair. There is no value received for the
dimes which people pay to see these
shows, and it is serious question
whether the fair as .Ociation is a gamer
financially by allowing the shows to ex-
hiblt. Many people come to the fair the
first day, squander their dimes on one
attraction after another, and on the fol-
lowing days keep away from the fair for

of surgery, and he is convinced that a
day will come when public opinion will
condemn the cutting of the appendix.
The Boston objector does not confine
his protest to generalities. He cites
specific instances, recent and well
known to all, sustaining his position, as
follows
LAS for the widely proclaimed bene-
fits and saving of life by operation to
cut the appendix, it seems hardly neces-
sary to cite the long list of deaths fol-
lowing the operation. Only recently we
have had the striking instances of
Clyde Fitch, the playwright, and Gov.
johnson of Minnesota. The surgeons
cut off Gov. Johnson's appendix year
or so ago; they operated on him a sec
Ond time, and on the third operation he
fell victim of mistaken modern the
cries"
How many are the laymen in all parts
of the country, who from experience of
what has happened when their personal
acquaintances were subjected to the
operation, could make up similar list !
The extreme position which the Bos-
ton physician takes is not new. To al
most everyone will occur the name of at
least one physician of his acquaintance
as always outspoken against the use of
the knife in the treatment of this dis
ease. However, few would go so far
as 10 pronounce the cutting of the ap-
pendix crime. Rutland Herald

The Democratic party in Vermont has
a golden opportunity to make an excel
lent showing in the campaign next year
If it We're to nominate for governor
some intelligent man of pleasing address
and patriotic purpose, one who has
never been identified with any of its
fractional fights, and then permit him to
go before the people with well defined
principles, the result would be to the
credit of the Democracy and of lasting
good to the State. The party is not
wholly without such men, who are
qualified by education and training to
lead such compaign, and not the least
among men of this class, in point of
character and ability, is the Rev. John

The st. Adams Messenger says that
1.-THE principle trouble that has retarded
the growth of st. Adams in years past
has been lack of cooperation among

safely be made of about every town in

Grafton, more faith in our own town, more
Willingness to work for its interests,
more push, less discension among our
selves; that would go long way to
make Vermont towns grow and become
a greater power in the business activity
of the nation. This applies to Middle
bury and every town in Addison county.
Let us all put our shoulder to the wheel
and push; never mind the croakers, the
dissatisfied ones, and those who would
block the wheels of progress. The
kicker is often a very useful member of
society. If we do our best our con-
science is clear, and not only that but it
helps to make the town grow.

Friend Hidreth of the Newport Ex-
press and Standard certainly has the
courage of his convictions as he speaks
right out regarding some of his delin-
quent advertisers. He says:
MANY annoyances arise in the news
paper business through those who in
advertently or otherwise, beat the edi-
tor out of little accounts. These are in
the line of business locals and range in
sums from 25 cents to $l.00. To be sure
these locals are supposed to be paid for
in advance; but when sent by phone or
letter, to be paid for on receipt of bill,
they are printed, bill sent, and there too
frequently the matter ends. These ac-
counts figure up in year and are need
ed to make the different ends meet.
Among those who forget the many
statements sent in are Smith Hosiery
Mills. Bennington, VT. Leonard Darby
shire's Spare Moments. Rochester.
N. Y, Empire Press Syndicate, Middle
port n. Y, and the International Feather
n. Y. Co. Providence, X. l. Doubtless all
these firms are good for 80 cents, as are
many home advertisers who fail to
pay.
Some of the rest of us have had the
same experience. 1t is all right to run
the ads. of local people, who are right
at home where they can be reached,
even if they don't pay in sdvance, but
there are plenty of foreign advertising
sharks from whom it is best TO get the
coin of the realm before doing the work

Something like two hundred blue
jackets from the British warships which
took part in the Hudson-Fulton festivi-
ties, decided to remain in the United
States and therefore failed to return to
their ships when they sailed from New
York. OF course the act is desertion
and should be punished, but for all that
the men showed good taste in prefering
the United States to England as place
of residence.

paper fame, is to again be candidate
for mayor of greater New York, having

had previously declared that he would

rendered to the pressure brought to

There may be some truth in what the
Phoenix says about this doubtful at
traction, but as yet we have not heard
any very vigorous kick concerning the
Midway at the Middlebury fair. In fact
fair would not be fair at all if there
were not few side shows to lure the
dimes and quarters from the guilable
public, a rrygo-round, and such
things. 1t would be tame indeed if
there were no attractions other than the
races, the livestock, the mittens that
grandmother has knitted, the crazy
patchwork quilt which sister has labori-
ously constructed, the butter, cheese,
and so on, ad libitum. Of course the
side shows are fakes and cheat us out
of our money, but when we go to the
fair we expect to spend the money
which we have been saving during the
summer for that which satisfyeth
not These fakes probably leave as
lasting impressions on our mind as do
the mammoth pumpkin, the overgrown
squash (Which isn't fit to eat) and other
agricultural freaks. By all means let
us have the snake charmer, the two
headed and six legged calf, the human
who subsists temporarily on a diet of
nails, etc.
Come to Middlebury next year and
you will see the biggest thing in the
line of fairs that ever happened and
the attractions will not be all side shows
either.

that vicinity ought to be profitable. 1t

money they can afford to part with.
With the fakirs eliminated they would
spend more time inspecting the exhibits
which have an educational value, and in
many cases would return to the fair to

In our issue of October first we pub
lished communication from M. J. Hap
good relative toposting lands to prevent
the shooting of deer. For the benefit
of those who may not have seen the arti-
Gle and are not aware of the fact we will
say that any landowner has the right to
post his land against any or all kinds of
hunting, in case they are cultivated or
enclosed. Allmowings and all pastures,
used or unused, all woodlands fenced
out, would allow of this protection. All
that is necessary is to post two notices

reading Hunting Prohibited Upon
these Premises, with the name of the
owner or occupant attached, and no per-

slaughter of deer would do this there
would be more of the innocent wild
creatures roaming through our forests

Judge A. A. Hall of St. Adams. In a
months time he has cleared up a con-
gested docket, without undue haste,
without sighting the work, without
friction and with justice to all persons

common sense methods. When facts
have been self-evident he has caused the

point direct and eliminating a lot of
useless verbiage, contrary to the usual
custom of proving point by an exhaus-
