the opening night of the engagement in
Louisville it was decided before the
doors opened 10 take the orchestra out
of the pit and give the places Of it's
members to the public When 1t came
to placing the musicians on the stage,
Miss Adams manager objected. as the
production was so heavy the men would
be obstructing the entrance and in the
way. Ii was then decided to place the
orchestra against the wall in. the foyer.
The 'standees,' men and women, how
ever. began coming into the theater in
numbers and the space occupied by the
musicians became valuable. Finally the
manager Of the house told the men they
would not have to play

4 WATCHDOG OF THE TREASUR
NEEDED.

Our call for retrenchmcnt in state
expenses the other day resulted in o.
demand from different quarters for n
bill OF particulars While we cheer
fully responded to the call. with a
partial list of avenues of retrench-
ment IL Is not necessary to go out
side of the columns OF any OF the
newspapers in the state to discover
opportunities for this process. The
esteemed Bennington Banner has dis
covered another chance to save money
for the State in connection with the
commitment OF patients to the state
asylum for the insane at Waterbury.
IT quotes the Barre Times as follows:
There has been more or less OF
sentiment throughout Vermont that
the commitment OF State patients o
insane asylum was ACCOMPLISHED much
too easily and without due process to
determine the subjects sanity. Peo-
pie have ben ''railroadcd" into the
asylum with too great despatch and
under system which might be
abused Therefore. the opinion OF
the Vermont Supreme Court holding
that one Lydia Allen OF Orleans coun-
ty was illegally held in the state
asylum because OF the manner of her
commitment will put stop to the
present system, or, rather, improve
upon II by requiring formal hearing
to be held. in which the alleged In
sane person will he represented by a
guardian"
The Banner proceeds to comment on
the situation thus;
There Is another phase Of this asy.
lum commitment business that we
should like to see Investigated and
that IL as to the number Of town pau
pers that ought to be supported by
the various towns that are worked Off
on the State TO support by. calling

expense who have property Of their
own or whose families are aburdant-
in part? A start has ben made in
this natter. but 1t ought to go farther
and receive close attention through
the auditors office or by some other
equally competent authority"
II will be recalled that when the
state highway tax was first tried.
many of the towns went on building
common dirt" roads I'm the bad old
way and simply covered tho proceeds
of the state tax into the town treas
ury to save local taxation to that ex-
tent. n tho Banner is correct. towns
are also saving at the expense Of the
state in connection with what arc or
should be their paupcr departments.
1t seems to be prevailing char
acteriatic of human nature that an Or
ganization OF persons will undertake
as body what most. II not all OF the
members individually would regard
as sharp practice, If not actually Dor
dering upon the dishonest.
Nermonts State treasury has re-
peatedy suffered from this tendency.
and the time seems not vet to have
passed when tho state treasury ought
to have good. live ana somewhat

OBJECT LESSONS NEEDED.

We announced the other day the
Willingness of Mr. Charles Downer To
urn over to the State for forestry pur-
poses and as game preserve ms
large homestead OF several hundred
acres in Sharon. We are glad TO note
that this example is being followed
elsewhere in the State, though the de-
tails OF the plan may not always be
the same. The Enoahursh Standard
prints the following editoria! para
graph:
1.-The people Of this vicinity, who are
interested in the subject will have an
excellent opportunity to observe the
process of modern scientific forestry
through the action Of Dr. W $. Stew

East Enosburgh 10 the State forester.
who has made q forest working plan
which is to extend over period of
ten years. the details Of which are
told in an article elsewhere in this
able example and the development of
the project wi! be watched with inter

This is the plan which ought to be
carried ont In different sections OF
the State not only with reference to
forestry, but also in relation to the
introduction OF modern methods OF
apple culture, and other farming i'm
provements.
1t may be that true some farmers do
not DO as we'll as they know how. but
we believe most farmers fail to adopt
up-to-date and profitable methods sim
ply because they DO not know how to

and 1t Is to be hoped that the meeting
to be held here az well as in other
Vermont towns mny result in ma
terial addition to the membership OF
tho Vermont branch of the society.
The way In which the work OF the
Red Cross society is localized Ia we'll
illustrated in connection with the
sale of Christmas stamps, announced
in yesterdays Issue OF the FREE
PRESS. OF the proceeds OF tho sale
one-halr goes to the national society
and the other half is devoted to the
work of the society in the state IN
which the money is raised.
In Vermont the money thus secured
will be used to aid patients In tho
Vermont Sanatorium, thus assisting
in the work Of helping to check the
rnvngcs Of tuberculosis. and 1t will at
once be recognized that in no other
way could the organization he SO use
full In time OF peace.
Our people who experience difficulty
in< discovering ways of doing their
charitable work intelliyentlv and sat
isfactorily. will find In the Red Cross
society an organization whose work is
always directed 20 the assistance uf
tho suffering so that no question can
be raised as to funds being put where
they will do the most good.

TIME no he Careful IN THE
WOODS.

Next week will he the open season
for hunting deer in Vermont. and IT
will be time to be careful not only
not to shoot somebody else or % get
shot, but also to avoid the various
penalties which hedge about the priv
ilege of playing the nmrod in the
Green Mountain region.
In the first place IT IS well TO bear
in mind that under the law as revised
by the Legislature at the Ia est ses-
sion thereof ''No person shall at any
time hunt, shoot. pursue. take or kill
any OF the wild animals. wild fowl or
birds Of this state. nor use = gun for
hunting the same, without having
first procured license therefor. ,
which is issued by the town clerk.
This is the first step to be takGr hy

Section 1921 of the Public statutes
of Vermont as amended provides thai,
"Deer other than spotted or red fawn
may no hunted and taken annually
DURING the last vraok in Oc.obcr cor-

PEASANT TO PRESIDENT.
striking Career OF French Statesman
Emile Loubet.

Emile Loubet, the French states
man who rose from a peasant to the
presidency of the republic. was born
in Marsanne. Drome, France, seven
ty-one years ago. His father was a
peasant proprietor. and the future
chief executive of a great nation re-
ceived but a scanty and common early
education. He was ambitious, how
ever. and studied law on his own ac-
count, eventually obtaining the de-
gree of laws.
He interested himself in politics
early in his legal career. His first
Office was as mayor of Montelimar.
He was so successful that he was re-
warded with seat in the Chamber
of Deputies. He entered that body in
1876, and was reelected again and
again. In 1885 he was promoted to
the Senate. During the short-lived
Tirard cabinet, December u, 1887,
to April 8, 1883, he was Minister of
Public Works.
On the refusal of NJ. de Freycinet
to reassUme the presidency of the
Cabinet, he was intrusted by Presi-
dent Carnot with the task of organic
ing the ministry with the larger part
of its former constituents, himself
assuming the portfolio of the Interi-
or and the presidency of the cabinet.
NJ. Loubet was elected president Of
the Senate in 1896, and reelected in
January, 1898. He succeeded Felix
Faure as president of the French Re
public on February Is, 1899, and
served to 1906, when he was sue
ceeded by President Fallieres, the
present incumbent NJ. Loubet proved
a highly popular president and won
high esteem both at home and abroad.

Our Morning Prayer.

Oh. may be brave today!
And may / be kind and true,
And greet all men in a gracious way,
And put good cheer in the things 1
say,
And love in the deeds I do.
May the honest heart of child be
mine,
And the grace of a rose in bloom;
Let me fill the day with hope di-
vine,
And turn my face to the sBy's glad
shine
With never a cloud of gloom.
With the golden levers of love and
light,
Through a path of kindly deeds
made bright,
] come to the bush of the starlit
night,
I would rest in peace-Amen
