THE JUSTICE SYSTEM

work performed by these petty tribunals
shoult all be gathered up into what
would be equivalent to district courts OF
Jurisdiction equivalent 10 the present

II is an anachrOnism In this enlight-
ened day and generation TO permit men
unlearned In the law to hold court In a
State so long settled as Vermont. The
necessity for all the usefulness Of the
justice Of the peace system passed long
ago. The survival of the institution to-
day means exactly what might be OK

WHAT OUR NEIGHDORS SAY
r,.. r0ects Of vermonts state Fair
on other Fairs.
(1'rom the Barre Tmes)

,rbo report Of the managers of the Dog
p;ver valley fair association at North
fold that they cleared two hundred dol
lars Notwithstanding the handicap or
disarreesble weather on the third day.
which kept down the attendance. very
largely dssipates the fears, which were
expresscd when the state fair was pro-
,ected, that the State fair would en-
croach SO much on the county fairs ms
20 eventually sap them Of life. The Times
was ono Of those newspapers which
feared such would he the result; but IL
Is happy 10 state that not only has tho
state fair failed to interfere with the
smaller organizations on the eastern
side Of the State. but II has, on the con-
trary, raised the standard Of agricutur-
al exhibits very much and thus tended
to advance the interests Of the farming
industry In Vermont All the fair asso-
ella lions which would be likely TO feel
any bad financial effects from too close
proximity OF the state fair have so far
as reported. disproved the theory. The
Mortified fair draws naturally from
much of the territory which the larger
association covers and II would hs as
likely as any to feel the force Of compc-
tition II there were to be any. Yet the
Mortified fair association. even under
adverse weather conditions for a part
Of the time was able to meet expenses
and be able to lay by n small sum for
surplus or improvements, which ever
way the directors see f;t to expend the
money.
Therefore Il there he any lingering
hostility TO the state fair project because
of the theory that its continuance means
the death OF those fair associations al
ready In existence, let II give place to a
friendly interest for these agricultural
fairs are really working toward one and
the Northneld fair and all No others
Of the agricultural interests OF Vermont
and the allied Industries. The state fair.
the Mortified fair and all tho others
seem to have their place In the life OF
the State, and there Ia no nesd for COLI
sion between them. The tendency Of
whatever friendly rivalry thsrs p,ey
spring up will be to give Better 3xhibi-
tons, and that will certainly be for the
good Of the state.
