Something For Us to learn.

Think of the money it has cost the
taxpayers of the state of New York to
find Thaw insane again. Think what
his worthless life has cost society in
money since he fired the fatal pistol
shot in the New York roof garden!
Then debate whether the fault is all
with society itself, or whether we
have not developed an American evil
of circumlocution in the administra-
ton of justice that not only tends to
defeat justice in the long run but that
imposes a tremendous burden of cost
upon a heavily taxed people to gee
any show of justice at all. Indeed,
what 1t takes to get so-called justice
for these worthless wretches is taken
out of the toiling people in the rank
est kind of injustice We would not
expect suci a mockery of procedure
in England as we have endured in
this Thaw business. The whole case
would have been disposed of for good
and all within a few weeks of the
murder and Thaw would in all prob
ability have gone to the gallows. Our
criminal law procedure is getting to
be a mighty costly farce.-St. Adams
Messenger.

Trunk Line Roads

One of these days the good people
of Vermont will awake to appreciate
the money that is being annually
wasted upon socalled road making in
Vermont. They will come to apply
the same plain old-fashioned princip-
les and reasoning of common sense to
this public business that they are so
shrewd in exercising in most of their
private affairs. They will admit it is
a governmental mistake and bust
ness folly to permit 2446 different cit
les and towns to dssipate 246 sums
of money in building or making shift
to build 246 kinds of road (when they
feel like it, They will admit the
truth of the proposition that the high
ways OF the state do not belong sim
ply to the towns in which they live but
to all the people that use them. The
essence of this property right is not
in possession but in use. The making
Of modern highways is not a local
question; it is a state problem Would

proudly down modern state built

ed in Springfield by Deputy United
States Marshal Chapman OF Rutland
The case is returnable at the October
term of the circuit court in Rutland.
Cohn alleges that Slack sold him the
cotton machines in the Holmes milr
for $1,000. The payment was to- be
made by sight draft some time before

COIN had made all arrangements for
the purchase of the machinery, Slack
for some reason, resold the machinery
to Louis Albright of Springfield Mass.

Cohn. The latter alleges that Al
bright sent wreckers to Springfield on
Friday and that they already have the
greater part of the machinery remov-
ed from the mills. In the meantime
Albright sold the machines to a third
party. Cohn took immediate action
and a writ of replevin was issued by
n. c. Bacon of Brattleboro his attor-
ney. Deputy Sheriff Myron p. Davis

there was nothing left to replevin and
therefore ne did not serve the writ.

The immediate cause of tne death
of the late state cattle commissioner,
Henry S. Wilson of Arlington was tu-
berculosis of the lungs, disease of
which he had no symptoms when he
became cattle commissioner. His
friends cannot help wondering if his
devotion to the duties of his position
may not have resulted in his contract
ing the disease taat he was so earn
estly trying to suppress. If bovine
can be transmitted to hu.
man beings it is reasonable to sup
pose that the cattle commissioner may
have exposed himself in so much deal
ing with diseased animals.

THIS COUNTY IN DANCER

The decision of the supreme court
upholding the state board of health in
its orders relative to the st. Johns
bury water supply is in line with
other court decisions elsewhere in
compelling the enforcement OF sani-
tary laws and regulations.
Modern sanitation and the enforced
elimination of the more fragrant caus-
es of disease during the past few years
has resulted in the steady lengthen-
ing of the average of human lives. The
average human being now lives from
five to nine years longer than did the
average in the time of our grandtath-
ers, and the period of health and ac-
tivity is increased by from ten TO fif-
teen years. The reason for it is the
compelling communities and individu-
ais to live up to decent. common sense
rules of health as the conditions which
insure health become more and more
understood.
We all feel sometimes that there
private affairs when the state and To-
cal authorities step in and regulate
our milk supply, condemn our back
yard wells, boss our plumbing, compel
us to put in sewers or sewer connec-
tions, shut us up when the baby has
measles, and propose to fine US for
splitting on the sidewalk, but can we
think 1t over calmly and not agree
that the added life, health and activ-
ity of the human race is worth the
trouble?
Here in Bennington county we have
an added interest in this decision of
the supreme court and that is in con.
nection with the courthouse and Jail
of the south shire, which have al
ready been condemned by the state
board of health In view of the act
ion of the supreme court in sustaining
the board of health, it is not likely
that the board will stop with a mere
verbal condemnation of the building,
The county may at any time be fac
ed by an order to vacate the court
house and Jail here or rebuild them
under proper sanitary conditions and
should be prepared for this result.
The law of the state says that each
county must provide proper county
buildings. What is Bennington coun-
ty going to do about it?

What has become of the dirt1

That's the first question you ask when
you rinse out the clothes after they've been
soaped with FelS-Naptha and soaked in
cool or lukewarm water.
The clothes are white and clean.
The dirt'S gone.
What became of itp
Here's the answer
Fels-Naptha Soap acts on dirt like
water does sugar; dissolves it; separates it
into tiny particles that are carried away by
the rlnSing water.
Fels-Naptha Soap takes the place of
boiling.
Makes the clothes whittier and cleaner
without it.
Dirt doesn't need to be rubbed out
when it's dissolved
Do you wonder that women who use
Fels-Naptha Soap in Winter or Summer
are able to do their washing in one-half the
time with one-fourth the work required by
the old way1
When you try it yourself, follow direc-
tons printed on the red and green wrapper
