The Grand Army of the Republic added
to its associate membership on Saturday
the country's highest official, President
TAFT. A large party of veterans from
Posts in New York city and Mt. Vernon
N. Y, were present at the White House
for the initiation. The movement per-
uniting associate members to join the
organization was started few years
ago, when the ranks of the veterans be-
gan to thin out rapidly and associate"
members were desired among men who
could be of assistance in maintaining the
Posts and keeping alive interest in the
organization.

For whom, instead of chasing with the wise,
We pour on ashes and apologize.

The discovery of the gigantic frauds
against the United States government
by the Sugar trust have local interest
as the million and one-quarter dollars
which the trust stole in the past six
years was saved by cheating in weighing
the raw product. All the product was
weighed on II Fairbanks scales which
were made especially for the trust about
half dozen years ago. BY means of
little spring the trust saved eight pounds
every time the product was weighed,
and it was not until recently that the
government inspector discovered the
trick. The Outlook for May tells the
whole story which it entities THE Case
of the Seventeen Holes" and the text
and the numerous illustrations of the
doctored scales will particularly interest

Three Eminent Clergymen.

Among the distinguished sons of Yer
mont who in years past have gone out
into the world and won envable names
none are more worthy of pride and per-
petuation than those of Rankin, Sunder-
land and Greene. These are the names
of three of as eminent clergymen as this
age has known. Rev. DR.. Rankin was
in his busy lifetime leader in the Con,
gregational denomination, Dr. Sunder-
land was at least one of the ablest
Presbyterian divines of his day and
generation, and DR.. Greene is yet the
pastor of the largest Baptist society
south of New York. All three finally
settled in Washington, where the two
latter died in the harness. DR.. Greene,
who is yet in fairly good health, was
born in Montgomery, and passes his
summers at South Troy. Thus it is not
alone in craftsmanship or in war that
the sons of Vermont have given their
native state great prestige, but in those
more quiet walks of life where their pre-
cept and example has endeared them to

Tooth be darned" says an ex.
change, seems to voice the sentiments oil
the people who drive carriages and
refuse to turn out for an automobile.
I've heard many auto owners complain
that there were drivers of horses who
showed their dislike for automobiles by
refusing to turn from the center of the
road, compelling the automobile to steer
into the cutters or bitches in order to
pass. This is not fair way to act. The
carriage and the auto have the same
rights on the highway, and any fair
minded person shouldn't hesitate to give
the automobile the same respect he does
a horse or carriage.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ned R. Young are re-
engaged for concert work in Canada
this year, where they participate in four
festivals this week. Of their trio work
last week at Stanstead the Stanstead

g AS rule we have our preferences,
and the most beautiful number, the

Disfranchised washirgtonians.

Wendell Phillips Stafford, once of Yer
mont, but now Justice of the supreme
court of the district of Columbia, true to
his name and ancestry, eloquently argues
in favor ofgiving the ballot to residents
of the DISTINGUISHED city
| President Taft strenuousy uphods the
present law whereby thousands of law
| abiding Americans have no voice in
electing President of the United States,
and are not permitted to choose the local
officials in authority over them.
Judge Stafford is right and President
Taft is wrong. Under present conditions,
the spectacle of great city of the United
States. governed as if it were a depend
ency of crown, is unedifving and I'M
democratic.
The franchise should not be limited,
but extended, if we are to perpetuate a
republican form of government. The
time is not so far off when it may be
necessary to make voting compulsory,
or else abandon universal suffrage.
Every voter must be compelled to ex-
ercise his rights at the ballot box. And |
the right to vote should not be withheld |
from any law-abiding person.
Surely, if monarchies can permit their
capitals to govern themselves, republic
ought not be so autocratic as to dis
franchise those who live at the seat of
government. The present situation is
such an anomaly that the average per-
son seems unaware that it exists Bos-
on Globe.

Railway Mail Examination.

The spring examination for positions
IN the railway mail service was held all
over the country Saturday and there
were 1900 applicants for this branch
OF the government service. Frank X.
Lanctot, the secretary of the local civil
service board, had aclass of 81 on Satur-
DAY and eight more on Monday. With
so many candidates it will be at least
SIX months before the officials at Wash
ington can complete their examination

confer a favor on the department. by
patiently waiting for the report instead
OF writing for information " hich will be

School Base Ball.

In a game marked by loose playing
and errors Woodsville High defeated St.
Johnsbury Academy on the campus Fri
day afternoon 8 to 7. The game was
played on wet ground and part of the
time in a drilling rain. Gibson and
Moore were the opposing slab men and
neither showed class at any time, which
fact can be traced in part to wet ball
and partly to the ragged support they
received. St. J. A. got lead in the
fourth and kept it until Woodsville's halt
of the ninth, when the visitors scored
two, putting them to the good by one
point. The locals could do nothing in
their half Score:

Remarkable Law Firm.

The attention which Judge Wendell P.
Stafford is receiving through the i'm
portant legal decisions he has recently
given and thro ugh his standing as one
of the most finished public speakers in
the country, calls to mind a remarkable
law firm which was in active practice in
st. Iohnsbury less than 25 years ago.
Judge Stafford became a member of the
firm of Belder, Ide & Stafford on his
admission to the bar. Henry c. Belden
moved to Minneapolis, and was Judge of
the district court of Hennepin county,
the highest trial court in the state {;
Henry c. lde was chief justice of Samoa,
late governor general of the Philippines
and is now the American minister to
Spain; and Judge Stafford, after serving
four years in the highest court of his
native state, was appointed to the fed
eral judgeship in Washington, where his
unquestioned ability has won him a ma
tional reputation, This is pretty good
record for firm of country LAWYERS in a
town of only few thousand popula.
ton Brattleboro Phoenix.
Middlebury took sensible and practi.
cal way to determine the legal speed of
automobiles on the village streets. Its
officials before deciding the speed to be
permitted had machines make demon
strations in their presence under varying
circumstances and conditions and then
determined the rate of safety. They had
the advantage of seeing just how rapid
ly an automobile went at given speed.
