Town Representation.

In another column an esteemed cor
respondent discusses town representa-
ton and favors a continuance of the
present systemof making the town the
unite for representation in the legis-
lature. While the News believes it
a fair and wise policy to allow the
smaller towns a majority of represen-
tatives in the general assembly as at
present. it is of the opinion that re-
duced membership would be adyan-
tageous.
AS has been previously suggested,
an equitable plan to attain this end
would perhaps be to allow one repre-
sentative for each town having 1000
or more inhabitants and grouping the
towns of less than that population, al
lowing one representative for each
1000 as near as practical. Provisions
could be made for rotation so that no
town in a group would have an adj
vantage over the others in the selec-
ton of a representative, as suggested
by the correspondent.
On the proposed basis the represent
tation would probably be reduced
something like 100 members. Then
if it could be arranged, and it seems
possible, so that one-half of the mem.
bers be returned at each session the
state would have good number OF
experienced Legislators, who ought to
be able to get down to business early
in a session, get through with the
work in good season-and go home
The plan would somewhat curtail the
passing around of honors, but there
are more important considerations
than in sending a townsman to the
Legislature simply because it is his
turn.
OF course it is quite possible that
Legislators are inclined to vote to a
greater or less extent in their own in.
terests, as Mr. Neil suggests and
perhaps block desirable legislation:
but as it appears to the News this
would happen to no greater extent in
a smaller general assembly. The on
ly remedy for selfsnness in this mat
ter is an awakened public sentiment.
The objection to a straight district
system regardless of town lines would
be that the large towns would gain
greatly in representation, and in this
it is doubtful if the state as a whole
would be as well served as in the
method suggested above.-Northfield
News.

The case of Editor Hildreth of the
Newport Express and Standard, Illus
trates the danger of allowing a strong
prejudice full sway in the editorial
columns. The Newport paper criticiz-
ed Gov. Prouty unreasonably, if not
recklessly, last fall in connection
with matters which had their incep-
ton in a telephone war. When a de-
cision unfavorable to the interests,
which the Express and Standard adj
yocated, in a similar matter, was rem
dered by the supreme court, the edi-
tor evidently lost his head complete
ly and criticized it about as severely
as he did the action of the governor.
The court could not overlook such an
insult and maintain its dignity and
standing 1t evidently recognized,
however, that Editor Hildreth had
been led into an unintentional error
by his unrestrained prejudices. and
was lenient with him, as become the
dignity of a great judicial body. A
proper respect for the courts is a
ctal necessity in our form of govern
ment.-Northfield News.
The court was pretty severe on
Editor Hildreth. We fear that it
failed to take into consideration the
circumstances that led up to the case
and the influence of habit that be
comes fixed Now Brother Hildreth
had been so busily and merrily en-
gagged the past few months in abus-
ing Governor Prouty, the Vermont
Legislature. the Republican party and
some of the leading citizens of the
state in private ife-mostly without
discrimination, knowledge of the cir
cumstances or any adequate under
standing of he public questions in
Ivolyed-that he got the habit and
staggered blindly along onto the su
preme court forgetting that that had
teeth Now it has been argued by
some learned students that, with
some human beings. habit takes the
place of intellect, usurps the reason
ing faculties and distorts the under
standing. We hope the supreme
court took these facts into consider
alton before it soaked Hildreth 5000
