Judge Stanton was right in his charge
to the jury in the Middlebury assault
case, when he said, "She stood on the
corner of the street as she had a perfect
right to do at any hour of the day or
night" In what preceded this signifi.
cant statement and what followed, he
emphasized the right of any woman to
the full protection of the law and that
the streets of any village and town must
be so otficered that it would be safe for
any respectable woman to be on them. il
anything required, at any hour of the
day or night without male escort. The
people will back up Judge Stanton in this
every time. The streets must be safe for
ladies at all times.-[ Vergennes Enter.

Legislative Notes.

The legislative "doings" of the past
week must be very pleasant when viewed
from an independent telephone stand
point. The independent companies got
everything they asked for.
There were more politicians and party
workers at the Capitol last week than
on any occasion since the Governors
ball. 1t seems they are beginning to fear
for the welfare of the party platform.
One member, in speaking of platform
promises, says 1--WE come here and
deliberate for four months upon impor.
tant measures, and then if we do not
fulfill the promises of few politicians
made in convention in the heat of a
political campaign, the republican papers
all say we are freak legislature.
The bill to establish a branch of the
state laboratory at st. Johnsbury has
passed the House by decided vote. A
member of the State Board of Health is
also a member of the Senate and he
declares the bill will be killed there. This
member may have personal reasons why
he would not like to have St. Johnsburv
have a branch laboratory, but it seems
unbecoming for a member of the Board
OF Health to fight such measure.
The Senate adjourned Saturday noon
until Monday evening, but the House
kept at its work all day SATURDAY. and
all day Monday.
srNt
The House has passed an act provid-
ing that municipal corporations owning
water or power plants in other towns
must pay taxes on the value of the
property. This met with a stubborn
opposition, but it was found to come
from towns which were at present tax
ing advantage of the present law.
Editor Hindley has made such a hit
with his Member from Hayville stories
that he has decided to publish them in
book form. Every member has given an
order for several copies.
Watson of St. Adams introduced a
resolution forbdding that ungentlemanly
trick of slamming the desks and since
that time any member could speak with.

succeeds Frank c. Williams of Newport
who was appointed last week examiner
OF savings banks.
This honor came to Mr.. Calderwood
entirely unsought and the state has
secured the services of man who will
give careful and conscientious attention
to public business. Mr.. Calderwood is
one of our successful business men, as a
public official he always worked for the
best interests of the village, and he has a
standing throughout the state that is
credit to any man.

House equal to that of any other three
men there?
Duxanimae by Diaduction was one
of the interesting topics discussed at the
State House last week. Some quack
doctor from New York city wanted per-
mission to perpetuate his humbug upon
the innocent people of Vermont. His is
a patent appliance which fits the great
toe of any sufferer and then by gal
vanc connection with a pail of hot or
cold water cures while the patient sleeps.
The doctor gets lots of free advertising.

Howe of st. JOhnsbury.


you want to abuse Howe of St.
Johnsbury all you can this week." said a
member at the press table yesterday,
because he will be away next week and
this will be your last chance" Abuse!
Why bless your innocent heart, Mr..
Member the gentleman from St. Johns
bury can make money out of everything
that has been printed about him. Even
the most satirical and fantastic sketches
that have appeared are a tribute to his
ability and skill as debater. There is
not more dangerous opponent or more
valuable friend for any measure than the
pale, ascetic, incisive-t talking member
from St. .Johnsbury Even when he ap-
appeals to prejudice and bias, he is doing
what all jury lawyers do, taking a DELHI
crate advantage always warranted in
such argument. Howe of St. Johnsbury
has not been permitted to rise to the
position of House leader, but no one has
questioned for a moment his skill and
ability in debate, or in committee, either,
for that matter - Montpelier Journal
There may be other leaders in the
House but anyone who has followed the
trend of events in that body in the last
few weeks cannot deny that the member
from St. Johnsbury has larger follow
ing and yields more power there than
any other one man. He is always listen
ed to with respect and oft times profit.
The House has passed most of his meas
ures on that account. What the Senate
will do with them is horse of another
color. The House appreciates the ability
OF Democrat who has been able to
command the election in such a strongly
Republican community as the town of
st. .ohnsbury. 1t likes him also because
he isn't looking for something, being
Democrat he is immune Montpelier

Tho Way Binks Tried 1t en- His Six
montho-oId Eaby.
Binks had sent Mrs. Binks on visit
to her mother. and he was on the Job
with the six-months-old baby.
In the night the baby woke and
cried. Binks looked mt his watch
three-quarters of an hour till bottle
time. He said to himself:
Let him fell. He's Il healthy little
Indian. and lie must be disciplined"
Then Binks tried to sleep.
But Binks couldn't sleep. Every cry
grew more pathetic and abused and
heartsick and discouraged. Each cry
said more and more plainly: Il have
no friends or relatives. I'm unhappy
and uncomfortable and want some one
to be good to me-"
But BinkS the stubborn and stiff
