The Messenger has no disposition
to underrate the undoubted good in
tentions of the great majority of the
members Of the general assembly and
the devotion TO duty that was charac-
teristic of most of them through what
has been the longest and in some res
poets the least inspiring session in
the history of the state 1t is easy for
men and newspapers to make general
izing criticisms of legislatures and IL
has Become quite the fashion of late
to do SO as matter of course, rely
ing upon the more or less automatic
proposition that no legislature is who'll
ly good and above reproach But It
is good deal to ask of strong and use
full men that they shall give three
months out of q year to the transac-
ton of the public business to the
greater or less neglect of their own,
and Vermont's public life offers no
compensation in fame or in money
that can approximate the sacrifice of
private interests that some good pub
lie servants frequently make in order
to perform this patriotic duty.
When this Is all said, however, the
Messenger believes it is only the just
verdict of intelligent observers all
over the state that the session of the
Legislature just adjourned was great
disappointment to the public eXpecta
lions. not only because of what it TAIL
ed to do but because of some of the
things that Il did. and that its record
generally speaking, Is the least salts
factory of that of any legislature in
this generation.
IL would obviously be unfair to pass
such a public Judgment as this with
out attempting TO support II with eyi-
dence and argument, and this the
Messenger will take occasion to do
from time to time in its discussion of
the various phases of the record of
the session as the clearing up Of the
Legislative aftermath makes Il posi-
BILE to have a fairer retrospective opin.
ion But, briefly speaking, one has
only 20 study the detailed record of
the laws passed by the general assem-
bly, to be well.nigh amazed at the ire
mendous volume Of comparatively in
consequential business that consumed
the time of the longest and most eX-
pensve session of the legislature in
the history OF the state And one has
only to read over the list of important
public problems, like the reformation
of the tax law, for instance, about
which so much was promised and con
corning which nothing whatever was
done. to realize how heplessly incom
potent a popular assembly at times

legislature failed to do. There was

There is no concenling the fact that

dence. But, making every allowance
for healthy differences of opinion
among all intelligent men as to the
best solution Of some of the problems
that confronted the legislature, even
these recognized leaders in Vermont's
larger activities were strangely I'M
able to accomplish any considerable
direct and tangible product in good
law because of the remarkable sus-
picion and distrust of all socalled
leadership that invested the great
body of the lawmakers from the start.
The average town representative is
said to be not at all the most brilliant
and farseeing man in the common
wealth, not only in Vermont but every
where. but the schoolboyish Jealousy
and obstinacy of The Vermont house

laws. is tne most absurd and the most
eXasperating phase of the whole rec
ord of the session.
There are other elements that en-
ter into the matter that well nigh de-
serve TO be called scandaloIs. No
mean sense Of pinching economy, no
'parsimOnious spirit, prompt the peo-
pie of Vermont. with thus far no dis
senting voice in the public hearing
to condemn as a fragrant breach of
trust the socalled salary grab. If
the lawmakers had seen fit to ordain
that the pay of Legislators hereafter
should be raised, there might be some
question raised as to the wisdom OF
such a law but absolutely none as TO
the propriety of it, But when men
into whose hands the key to the pub
lie treasury is given, and who accept
ed the sacred trust with the full and
explicit knowledge of what their com
pensation was to be, use that key to
nut extra money into their own pur-
SEES, our old fashioned New England
ideals of fidelity to trust are rudely
shocked. our law will not permit a
guardian or a trustee of private funds
TO make any contract or engagement

Immediately there was talk of the
senate's resolve to defeat the four

Another Case

About twelve years ago in one of the saloon dance halls of Sit ka a dance wasin progress.
 A native boy with an accordion and two white boys with mouth organs furnished the inspiring strains to which about a dozen drunken white men and their na- tive partners reeled the magic waltz. A drunken row ensued in which one of the native girls was shot, but only slightly injured and soon recovered. Several years ago the native boy died andlast yearthe girl died, nothow ever from any thing connected with the shot wound.On the dea- tn of the girl her people demand ed the payment of blankets from the boys parents, giving as the reason, that if the boy had not played there would not have been any dance and if no dance the girl would not have been shot, and if she had not been shot she might not have died when she did, therefore the boys parents should pay for the girls life.

 It is an excellent illustration of Thlinget Jurisprudence. A more recent illustration of the same subject will be given in a later of The Thlinget.-

THLINGET JURISPRUDENCE

Forty years ago a fight took place over at Hootz-nOo-Oo. a town in Alaska known to the white people as Killisnoo, but of which the Indian name means (brown bear fort). This fight oc- cured between the two differing families of the tribe of Natives living at Hootz-noo-oo.
 In the melee a woman was kill ed. This woman, named kah- shted-sick, was an aunt of klan- tech. sub chief of the kok-wan- tons of Sitka. Klan-tech was then a very young man. but sat this date we'll known in SitEa, and a man of considerable years.
 According to the Indian GUS tom a demand was made by Klan-teCh. of the Kok-wan-ton clan of Sitka for pay for the life of the woman, Kah-shted-sicE, either in blankets or by the life of one of the HoOtz-nOO-oO tribe who had caused her death. They compromised by giving to Klan- tech. a slave by the name ofEa- how. whom Klan-tech priz2d very highly, as Ea-how was astrOng young fellow of less than twenty five years of age. In those days male slaves were ofgreat value,as they were only obtained by war and stealing them from alien tribes. This particular slave Ea- how was a Hydah, a tribe inhab iting the southern part of Pr. of Wales Island. A Stickeen In- dian named Ska-kah, who was noted for his bravery and wealth
The Thlinget., 1909-02-01

had stolen Ea-how some time before, and sold him to the Hootz noo-oo people. so when the de- mand was made for pay for the murdered woman this unfortun- ate young waif was given to the chief Klan-tech of the KOk-wan- tons, and served him faithfully for about forty years.
 Suddenly last summer he died and when all the Kok-wan-tons, relations of this same old Klan- tech, who we all know had re- turned to Sitka and learned of the death of Ea-how, they de- cided that they had nothing to show for the having received any pay whatsoever from the Hootz-noo-Oo people for the death of Klan-tech's aunt forty years ago and so concluded to go to the village of Hootz-noo-oo or Killisnoo, and demand about one hundred blankets or it's equivalent.
 Five canoe loads of Kok-wan- tons lead by old Klan-tech and one certain Prince Tom went to that place and after much pow wow and dancing, actually and surprising to say, did succeed in getting the natives of that place to give them about one hundred and twenty blankets, two chinese trunks and two guns. They returned to Sitka and all are satisfied and good friend S again. The civil government does attempt to stop that sort of justice and the governor who had been appealed to by the SitIa tribe had written toKillisnoo advising a peacable settlement but strongly urged that no blank
