Judge Hall of the Superior Court has
been doing some good work down in
Windham county, in fact he gave the
attorneys there surprise" in insisting
that their cases should be ready and the
usual delay in prosecuting court work
should cease. AS result, the work of
the term has been cleaned up and every
body satisfied. The Brattleboro Phe-
nix speaks thus of the matter:-
A Daniel has come to Judgment in the
Windham county court in the person of
Judge A. A. Hall of St. Adams. In a
months time he has cleared up con-
gested docket, without undue haste,
without sighting the work, without
friction and with justice to all persons
interested. Judge Hall has expediated
the work of the session marvelously by
common-sense methods. When facts have
been selfevident he has caused the law
yers to concede them, thus reaching a
point direct and eliminating a lot of
useless verbiage, contrary to the usual
custom of proving point by an exhaus-
tive process of presenting testimony and
reasoning. He has also held the lawyers
strictly to their tasks and has cut short
any attempt to befog issues. Judge Hall,
by his keen and direct methods, will save
the state thousands of dollars year.

Sunday, Oct. Sd, was the 54th anniver-
sary of John D. Rockefeller's getting his
first job, and in the Baptist Sunday
School out in Cleveland, to which he be-
longs, he gave the young men some
sound, wholesome advice which they,
as well as others, would do well to heed
He said
"You have got to get reputation
before you can get job, and you will
have to work to hold it. A boy does
not have to be smart, but he must work
as hard when his employer is away as
when watching. Many boys get posi-
tons, but they do not hold them. Why
They never do their work thoroughly
and their employers must do it over after
them. Remember, boys, that it is no
way to begin life"
All this homely commonsense, we fear,
is quite wasted on a good many young
fellows, who would dearly love to be as
rich as Mr.. Rockefeller, but who can't
bear the idea of beginning low down and
bucking into the hard work as he did, in
order, by and by, to become wealthy
and powerful.

Here is how the Barre Times proposes
to relieve the Mt. Mansfield Electric
Road of its present difficulty and we
might add is the only way to make a
success of the road
1t looks like good business move to
extend the Mount Mansfield electric rail
road from Stowe to Morrisville and per-
haps to Hyde Park. Rail trip from Nor
risville to the capital of the state is now
made by travelling about 20 miles fur
ther away from Montpelier and then
almost doubling on the same track. If
the proposed extension is made, there
will be almost direct route from Nor
risville, connecting with the Central Ver-
mont railroad at Waterbury. Such a
line would tap quite populous territory,
too,

TT is the fashion among men-espe-
= cially those who seek something at

tiously enthrone womankind upon the
topmost summit of the range of human
speech.
The, orator, be he politician, philoso-
pher or reformer, seems to feel that
his task is incomplete until he had
lauded ''the ladies'" He scars like a
monoplahe at the mere thought of
'''mothers, wives and sweethearts." He

passing virtues of the "gentler sex

classification in many an instance!
To spread flowers of rhetoric a foot
deep on all the daughters of Eve, with

it is r%eligiously done. and not without

He died.
Before he died he made a will. We
do not yet know just how much actual
wealth that will disposed of, but we
do know hat this man who sacrificed
his life for money left everything he
had to a woman and made his same
woman sole executor of his vast estate.
In one of the briefest wills on record,
he b%equeathed his all to the woman he
loved-his wife.
He had never debated woman's
rights or equal suffrage or the proper
sphere of the fair contingent.
As said before. he never dislocated
his tongue deifying ~womankind in pub

A plant rs important as Centre Market needs as much care and

but to what extent can it get this attentions from a Council com

SOME IN
OUR CRIMINAL SYSTEM

every system of criminal justice, and much of it is unavoidable,
but where defects are remedable, as they are in the laws and prac-
tees governing our police courts, they should be done away with.
Not only is injustice done to individuals, but the prison cost is in
creased, the work of the grand jury is congested and also the bust
ness of the courts. Police Judge Hahn makes some pertinent
observations on the manifest defects of the criminal law, and, he
points to the moral injury done. Judge Hahn suggests that the
jurisdiction of the police court be increased, as a means of remedy.

THE QUESTION OF
TUNNEL FARES

-dTsU 10 y p COHSIuVTVu, II
would seem that a fvecent rate of fare between any tunnel station
IN New York and any tunnel station in Jersey City is equitable.
The tunnels are destined to have an immense traffic. vastly mor
than any surface trolley road or any steam railroad for n short
distance. For five cents the passenger o n a ear of the Public
Service Corporation can ride two ways for a distance very much
greater than the tunnel cars run. Jersey City is not unreason@
able in asking for a standard fare of five cents. and, in fact. in
the sequel the MrAdoo Company may discover that that is the
most profitable rate for it TO charge the public.

COUNCIL ELECTIONS
AND THE OUTLOOK

Gratis. In the charter election last fall only four Democratic can.
didates were elected. making the Council a tie, which was broken
by the detection of one Democrat. Counting this alderman as a
Democrat. the present Council is a tie, 16 to rs. With eleven hold.
overs, the Republicans must elect six candidates to secure control
of the next Council. The Democrats must elect thirteen for a
Council majority. In mere numbers the Republicans have the APP
parent advantage, but aldermanic elections quite often work revo-
lutions that seem highly improbable. The Common Council of
1908 had a Democratic majority of fourteen, and there were eleven
holdovers. II exactly the same number The Republicans have this
year, when the election was held, and yet the Democrats lost
control.

many hundreds of voters who would otherwise not have been
registered on that day and many who would register today. The
last day of registration is always the largest, because on that day
the party workers resort to affidavit making to get recorded the
names of party voters who fail to appear. The interest in the
election is, therefore, not to be gagged by the figures of the last
registry day. A large registration on the second day would be an
infalible indication of a large vote on election day.

FIRE DESTROYS
BRAXT0N HOME
The Judge had just Finished his
Supper and on his Way
to town

On Tuesday night at about
eight o'clock, fire destroyed
the cottage of Justice of the
Peace j. &. Braxton in Alta
Vista. The Judge had just
finished his supper, and was
returning to town, having
gone about half way. The
family of S. G. Cochrane, who
live just east of the Braxton
residence noticed smoke is.
suing from the windows and
doors, and ran over with an
TX to break in the door. As
soon as this was done the
smoke poured out in such vol
ume that it was impossible to
do anything towards saving
either building or contents.
At about the same time that
Cochrane arrived, Louis Ara.
gon came and broke in the
rear door and window, but
could not enter there either.
In a few minutes quite a
crowd had gathered, but
nothing could be done, except
to keep the fire from spread
ing.
The building together with
the contents was insured in the
London, Liverpool & Globe In
surance Company in the sum OF
four hundred dollars. The loss
was much more than this amount
Judge Braxton claims that this
sum will about cover the con-
tents of the building, thus leav-
ing the building a total loss.
This is Mr.. BraXton's seconC
loss by fire in Estancia, he hav
ing lost his restaurant building
in the fire of August 22 last, wher
the business block on Fifth stree
was destroyed.

is at an altitude of 5000 feet and
the crops were grown without
irrigation. About SIS an acre
was expended in getting the
ground ready for cultivation, but
including this the average cost OF
preparing the ground, seeding
and harvesting has been $3.50

Well Down 7l3 Feet

Yesterday morning a report
from the deep we'll on the
Green farm east of town,
stated that the drill was down
713 feet. The last hundred
feet has been through red sand
stone, which Is now much
harder than heretofore. When
the pumps are not working
the water has run over the
top of the casing, but this
water is said to be from the
strata of water encountered
higher up, and which was
supposed. to have been casea
off.
The drill bit, which has
been in use has become sc
worn with the constant drill
ing in the rock, that it is un'
safe to use it further. A new
one was expected in on yes
terday's train, with which the
drilling will be continued
The thickness of the rock IL
which the work is now being
pushed is of course not known
but the rock being so mucl
harder now than heretofore,
would seem to indicate that i
would soon be penetrated.
