Thursdays School Election

One hundred and seventeen votes
were cast at the special school election
yesterday. Of this number, III were for
the bonds, ware against and were
rejected because of improper marking.
The result of the vote is truly crafty
ing to the friends of education.
The trustees should now proceed with
out delay to build and equip the school
house. The citizens of the district have
stood by them in their call for sufficient
funds, and they have right to expect
earnest and efficient work on the part
of the trustees. Nothing short of this
will satisfy the people of this school
district

DR.. White VOLTS Record

1t may not be generally known but
such is the fact that DR.. White Wolf.
the state detective, who is now doing
such good work on the r. J. Little
murder case III Reno after the local
officers had been unable to find a clue,
is one of the, few: surviving scouts of
the early Indian days and was q boon
companion of William Whitrock, 7or
as he was familiarly known, wild
Bill
When the detective is in a reminiscent
mood he can relate tales. OF. the early
days that would make QUE believe that
he was reading some of the famous
works of the dime hero age: =.
The Reno papers state that the de-
tective talks considerable; but still may
unravel the t:ase. Those who know the
detective we'll state that when: he is
talking the most he is studying the
deepest and by his very ability to con-
verse on one subject. while giving his
full mind, "a another subject has been
able to throw suspicious people off his
trail and finally land his man behind
the prison bars. g,
One of the greatest pieces of detective
work that he was ever engaged in was
the recovery of the crown jewels of
England when they We're stolen num-
Der of years ago by a Frenchman in
whose care they had bsen left for clean
ing. The Frenchman worked for seven
years. in preparing a duplicate set of
phony jewels and when the appropriate
moment arrived substituted the fakes
for the genuine and escaped to the Isle
of Man, White Wolf went to England
and after short study of the matter
took up the trail of the Frenchman and
apprehended him in the Isle of Man and
delivered him to the Scotland Yard Of
ficers.-Carson News.

the country discovers what the tariff
law contains. there will be trouble"
The fact that the very thing which
President Taft was working upon to
classify the duties and make them less
oppressive to the poor, and compel the
rich TO pay the higher duty on the
more expensive goods, fails in prac-
tical operation when the true rule of
reckoning measurement is applied.
Fhc President expected that on the
lowcr-pricrd cotton goods the rates
would be so low that importations
could be III, ,de so as to prevent com
binations in the manufactured cottons,
but this h,pe is dispelled by the report
of the cotton merchants committee
which shows, as we have heretofore
noted. increase in the cotton schedule
of from forty-three to ninety three per
cent above the Dingley bill And it is
not without reason that Senator Dolliver,
knowing. the facts, exclaimed that
when the country discovers what, the,
trriff law contains, there will be
trouble" So far, nobody seems to
understand very, clearly what this tariff
law does contain, and directly opposing
opinions are expressed on various points
mt enough is known to make it certain
that it is deceptive, fraudulent bill. in

WHAT The TARIFF BILL DOES

e.: President Taft was misinformed,
clearly, when he referred to the in
creased duties in the silk and cotton
grades, and therefore being tax on

An Unpopular Official.

. There is one public official that goes
begging in many small suburban
towns Nobody wants the position of
dog catcher.
1T isn't that we're afraid to handle
the beasts" said one man who had de-
clined the honor. 1T is the fact that
the business of running in dogs gets
everybody down on us. know man
"a frst-rate fellow he is too-who
was made dog catcher in Staten Is
land village. He had enjoyed the best
kind of reputation up to the time he
took that position. but before he had
held the job three months, hardly a
person in the town would speak to
him. In the opinion of the general
public. to scoop up poor. little. defense
less doggies and cart them away to
the pound is the furthest cry of human
ignominy. The man who will do such
a thing sinks below the level of the
official hangman and no longer holds
a place in the esteem of his neigh
bors."

might state motion to reconsider

but 1T would not be swift work. even
though it might be done right in the
end.
Cory of Montpelier on the other
hand was sort of talking terror.
He neither knew nor cared anything
about parliamentary law, and rose
uncrused from rebukes and calls to
order. If Cory ever got into the
chair, the Senate would resolve itself
into q sixth ward citizens caucus

of this opinion.

MORE ROOM FOR HILLcResT
PittsfieId Institution Will Have IL
Rooms When Work Is Done.

Hillcrest Surgical hospital at Pitts

ments. and building operations have
already started for new additional
building of Is rooms on the lot ad-
joining the main building on the east.
The nurses home of 20 rooms recent
ly completed and furnished will ad-
Join the new building as 1t is on the
lot next to 1t. The, three buildings
will be connected by wide corridors
and the whole three buildings prac-
tically thrown into one of IA rooms.
The capacity of the hospital has
been taxed for the past few months
and the addition is needed now, al
though 1t will not be ready before
September. AS only surgical cases,
diseases of women and fractures and
dislocations are taken at the hospital
and the average stay of a patient is
only two weeks, this added room for
patients will permit the institution to
do much more work than formerly,
although over 500 operations were
done in the hospital the first year and
$50 patients cared for.
The remarkable success of this
local institution is such short time
speaks we'll of the favor in which ii
is held by the public as patients come
here from different states, cities and
towns for treatment. The elevation
and clear bracing atmosphere of the
"Berkshires" aid materially in the
rapid convalescence of patients after
operations and some come here prob
ably for this reason.

For Lleutenant.eovernor

When the matter of the Lieutenant
governorship was first mentioned and
the least side" called upon to make
its selection, food of names APP
peared, including practically every
public man on the east side and some
that were not even public. A partial
list follows:
Ernest w. Gibson, Brattleboro;
James f. Hooker, Brattleboro;
II. G. Barber Brattleboro;
Tyler Goodell, Whitingham;

Porter N. Dale, Island Pond;
Frank M. Cory, Montpelier;
Leighton p. Slack, st. Johnsbury.
The east side is not generally so
modest and any observer of the trend
of things could easily suggest two
names that would probably over
shadow any or all of the mentioned.
They are:
Henry ~ Turner. st. Johnsbury;
John l.. Lewis, North Troy.
Mr.. Lewis was in many respects
the strongest figure in the senate OF
1908. The Herald did not agree with
him on number of public questions,
notably in the matter of polluting
Lake Bomoseen, but it is ready to
recognize in him certain positive and
forceful qualities that made him in
certain degree the logical leader of
the Upper House. Cut adrift from
