The MoraI Size o. the QuestIon.

The supreme court has decided that
Former Railroad Commissioner George r
Howard acted within his rights when be
charged the state for the use Of his own
team and for other expenses that might
have been avoided with no considerable
hardship to himself The opinion Of the
supreme court covers the legal ASPECT Of
the case only. The moral issue Of the
case has been tried and decided by the
people Of Vermont and the opinion Of The
supreme court does not reverse the judq.
ment entered. The state has plenty Of
competent citizens for public officials
who will not fat up their expense ac-
counts even when they can do it legally.
Just because the money comes out Of the
public treasury. Mr.. Howard will not
have to pay the money back but we guess
he would be mighty glad to hand It over
Il i would bring him back in the public
estimation to where he stood before inc

ceoroe 7. Howard Esoneratso.

At supreme court session last --week
Tuesday, Judge Loveland Nunson read 3
long opinion in the case OF State gs.
George 7. Howard, from Orleans county,
which was an echo OF the legislative in
vestigatiug committee OF 1905 which
found that Mr.. Howard while state rail-
road commissioner had charged the state
a certain sum for which be had rendered
no service. C. c. Fits OF Brattleboro,
then attorney general. brought suit
against Howard IN Orleans county in
1907, the case was tried at the September
term that year, and a verdict was rem
dered for the plaintiff to recover s89.45
without interest. At this trial the state
claimed that Mr.. Howard had charged
per diem for days when he had not been
in the service Of the state and had
charged for the use OF his team taking
him to and from his home in Craftsbury
TO the railway station when the state
should not have paid this bill.
The opinion OF Judge MuDson sustains
the auditor in allowing these bills, bat
finds that tile state should not have paid
Howard for the board of his wife at GER
tain times when she was travelling with
him when be was on duty as railroad
commissioner; that be should not have
been paid for the day he charged when he
was in Montpelier on the day the state
Republican convention was held; and
that be should not have been paid for
hotel bill over Sunday at Springfield,
Mass, when he was on his way to Boston
on state business.
The opinion by Judge Munson reyerses
The judgment of the lower court which
was for the verdict found and remands
I he case for a new trial. This opinion BY
Judge Munson is Ia the main q vindica-
tion OF Howard. It holds that a state
official can properly charge for the time
in going to and returning from
meetings or business that requires bis at
tention, and that II the public conveyance |
is not suitable he may include in his ex- |
pense account a charge for the use OF bis |
own team. II also holds that a state
official il not obliged TO travel Sunday to |
get TO his home at reasonable hour but 1
that he can remain away at the expense
OF the state.

Roosevelt said he would rather his son
would break leg at football than not to
play at all. The game has been reformed
somew hat. but is still good deal rougher
than pingpong. It is for good, hard,
rugged boys, Of strenuous natures. II is
sometimes brutal, always dangerous.
When two lines clash and go down in a
pile, there is always the chance that
some player may not rise. Considering
the roughness Of the game, it is remsrka-
bic that there are not more fatalities and
serious injuries. However, football is not
wholly a smuggling match, but involves
probably as much science as any outdoor
sport. The problem Of how to concen-
trate at certain instant force enough to
overcome the defence and carry the ball
through has to be worked out to a nicely.
Il IS the same problem that Bonaparte
worked out on the battlefield. The play
ers, by training and exercise, become
hardened into splendid physical form.
They acquire grit, which is no small asset
anywhere. u a boy is inclined to be a
sissy, pot him in the line and be will soon
get it thumped ont OF him. Despite the
very infrequent fatalities and such oc-
cur in any sport or pastime-we rather
incline TO favor the game OF football, be-
lieving It does more good than harm in
the grand roundup. II, asa people. we

sary that involved danger, on account OF

The Vermont association of Boston
held a real corn husking in the Mechan-
les building Friday night. They had
made II over into wonderfully clever
"harn," with tin lanterns hung around
the walls and from the chandeliers; with
fails, and pitchforks, and plows, and
loafer rakes standing picturesquely
against the walls, and the whole great
floor space stacked thiokly with shocks of
corn. Pumpkins we're everywhere, and
~ every shock of corn stood a three
legged milking stool The advance an
nouncement gave a hint what to do with
the milking stools-they we're to be taken
home as souvenirs.
There were % milking stools and there
were more than 600 guests at the husking
bee. Anybody can see the result. The
pumpkins followed the milking stools;
the pitchforks went next, then the fails.
and, finally, the lanterns vanished. The
lanterns were the only borrowed things:
absolutely everything else corn, pump
kins, farms tools, came from the Farm
and Trades school on Thompson's island
OF which Chairman Charles Il. Bradley il

even made there by the boys of the
school.

supper, and then the cider, then some
more supper, and then-conscience
being cleared on all these counts dance

II such farmers ever do hit II right
lenee Not a word Of their good fortune
in turning of a profitable crop. Same
old groan about the misventures. They
seem to fear that someone else will follow
their stroke and break the market.
The farmers lot is an alI-round rattle.
He plants half dozen different crops. lie
keeps horses, cattle, hogs, hens. In the
natural event, when he has good luck
with potatoes, so do all his neighbors,
potatoes are plentiful, the supply is large
and prices drop to correspond. When
his hens cease laying, 30 do others, eggs
are scarce and prices rise. II he has few
to sell, those few bring more. The com
bination of big yield in any department
and high prices for the product is abnor-
NAL, and need not be relied upon, or la
mented when it fails to arrive. By his
very diversity Of output, the farmer is
assured an equilibrium of income that
comes to few others. II is seldom, very
seldom, especially in Vermont, that some
thing does not turn up right for him, and
make good any losses In other lines.
The farmer has the advantage OF
quickly responsive market. The preacher
who depends on a stipend fixed years ago,
when all he had to buy was twenty-five
per cent, at least, lower than in these
days finds it very hard to adjust himself
to the changed conditions. Merchants
turn over their stocks now on a relatively
smaller percentage of profit than they
did ten years ago. Professional men Of
all kinds, wage earners and those with
fixed incomes find it harder to figure
their way along, owing to the higher
cost of living. The farmers lot is more
fortunate in this respect, and all are glad
that II is so. When he prospers, the
is diiused. When be lam
cuisines, there is no balm in Gilead.
But just for fun, We would like to see
Dame Plenty's cornucopia dumped into
The lap OF some farmers until they actual
ly cracked a smile OF satisfaction and
emitted a word of rejoicing. 1t would be
worth while to witness.

Next Tuesday evening is the
time for the regular monthly
meeting of the town commits
sioners. We trust that at that
meeting they will take up the
matter of making it compulsory
for people to connect their
houses with the sewerage sys-
tenn where it is practicable to do
so, The town is in the attitude
of pursuing very poor bust
ness policy by spending so much
money extending lines where
there are only two or three users
on a line. We hope they will
take up also the matter of pro-
viding plant to burn the refuse
that is carted off and dumped on
the bank on the river near town
and which is a source of very
great danger.
