Rev: j. Wesley Miller, representative
of Bethel in the last assembly, dominates
Frank E. Howe of Bennington for speak
er of the next House, pronouncing him
the ablest parliamentarian in the pres
ent body. Brother Howe would preside
with ability and fairness. One thing
further nobody but Howe would name
the House committees; no interests
would dictate the chairmen and make
up. However, this is a critical week
for Mr.. Howe; his fate may hinge on
the effect of the doe killing act that he
introduced, and for which he is best re-
membered. Randolph Herald.

In attempting to secure some reason
able guarantee that senators and rep
resentatives sent to Montpelier will
support the state platform of the party
which elects them, why wouldn't it be
good idea for the state committees of
both parties to provide the town com
mittees of their respective organizations
with resolution of Endorsement to be
introduced into local causes binding the
nominees to stand by the state decalra-
lions In this way a responsibility
might be enforced that has not been
possible where local caucuses take no
interest in anything save local issues. -

The country loses grand old patriot
in the death of Maj. Gen. Oliver O..
Howard, and Vermont an adopted son
of whom. she was justly proud. The
record of his long life of usefulness
briefly summarized by this paper today
tells story that may well be an inspir-
alton to every school boy in the land.
General Howard was not mere soldier;
he was citizen whose reluctant resort
to war was only to help make more
glorious peace. And he 'toiled in those
after years of peace for the upbuilding
of social conditions in the land and stood
conspicuously for that which is truest
and best in all citizenship. st. Adams
Messenger.

One need not be milksop or a sissy
to argue that football, in order to be a
sport, recreation, pastime for our
sons, should be shorn of certain fea-
lures or tendencies that make it dread
ed by every mother in the land 1t is
not manliness or the highest kind of
courage to take needless risks of life
and limb. BY all means let the game
be rough, in a sense, and let it require
pluck and muscle and the right kind of
daring. 1t will do our youngsters good
to hit the line hard. But there is a
difference between the fine old English
game" of football and the modern
emeute. We deplore the duelling of
German students and encourage some
thing far more dangerous in our own.

From the way the state newspapers
are lining up on the governorship ques-
ton it is apparent that Uncle John
Abner of Rutland is not going to have
the support of the organization. Though
possessing a few ardent champions the
acknowledgement finds majority of
the republican papers against him. To
be sure, they have not come out openly
yet in favor of any particular candidate
in opposition to Uncle John, but that is
only because the organization isn't
ready to have the announcement made
Just yet. The popular uprising for
Gates which was started at the Fish
and Game banquet seems to have RIM
short of yeast, so silence has been de-
cided upon as the wisest course from
now until Col. DIN Merrill of Enosburg
announces his candidacy. He isn't go
ing, to run? Who has authority for
making such a statement Brattleboro

Toe Nail Trimming Proved Fatal.

Captain Stephen II. Beers "a well known
waterman Of lower Delaware died at his
home at Ocean View on August 18th, as
the result Of cutting toe while trimming
a toe nail. Capt. Beers one night found
that he had an ingrowing nail Securing
a knife he began cutting on it when sud
denly the knife slipped and cut the toe.
For several days later the toe panied him
so that he went to physician, who found
that gangrene had set in. 1t continued
to get worse when it became necessary to
have the leg amputated below the knee.
But the disease had spread so rapidly
that the operation did not stop it and
soon it was throughout his system. He
was about ga years old, and is survived
by a wife and two daughters.

MurderOusIy ASA uItsd.

Harry Ingram, of near Milsboro, was
taken to the Sussex County Jail last Friday
by Constable NJ. b. Belts, charged before
Justice of the Peace Joseph B. Belts with
robbing and attempting a murderous as
sault upon George 0. Thompson at An
tioch Camp, in DagsborO Hundred.
Thompson alleges that he was tired prom
enading around the grounds and went
out in the woods to his team and lay down,
and shortly after doing so he fell asleep.
He had not been in the wagon very long
when, he alleges, Ingram came up and
went through his pockets and took his
watch and pocketbook, containing a small
sum of money. Just as Ingram started
to leave the wagon, Mr. Thompson said,
he was aroused from his slumber, in time
to see Ingram putting the watch in his
pocket Hot words followed between the
two men, when Ingram, he says, mana
ged to get a hatchet lying nearby and
struck Thompson on the left side of the
head, infcting a wound which may
prove fatal. The alleged assailant made
his escape after the encounter and was
located near MillsbOro Friday and arrest
ed by Constable Belts. Thompson con-
dition is believed to be critical and his
chances Of recovery are doubtful
