That BRIGHTON MunIcIpaI Court.

1t is Especial knowledge that a news
paper should have before indulging in
such sweeping criticism and denuncia-
ton. Brattleboro and Springfield may
be the centers OF graft in the shape 81
municipal courts. We know nothing
about those courts, nor do we care to in
vestigate them. as the contemporary i'm
plies. But we insist that any general ar
raignment OF municipal courts includes
our court, and it is that arraignment
that, so far as it affects us, we are an
swering.
Passing over the tone OF sneering
innuendo that permeates the quoted edi-
torial, let US discuss facts. AS to the
800 for courtroom rent, Mr.. Editor,
make your bet something worth while
and we will cover it. AS matter of fact
our municipal court is quartered else
where than in the judges office, and the
landlord, who has let these quarters for a
court room, is in no way connected with
/ the court.
The remainder of the quoted editorial
is pure generalization, and sublimely ig-
nores the specific instances cited by us
whereby this court, had its charter been
/ granted as desired by its promoters,
would have saved the state about one
hundred dollars. Since we published our
first reply to the contemporaries editorial,
two more instances have occurred of q
like sort. Two young men we're arrested
for grand larceny, and upon being ar
raigned before this court, pleaded guilty.
Had the charter been granted as re.
quested, these respondents would have
gone to the state prison at once. Now
they are living on the state at the county
Jail and there they will remain till late
in April or some time in May. The cost
Of keeping these three respondents-all o
whom were ready to begin serving theiI
sentences-will amount to about as much
as the judges annual salary. Is therS
anything imaginative about this
Mr.. Editor: Before you make any fur
ter charges Of dishonest motives or indulge

Ethics Of Salary Grab Disposition.

Getting right down to q question of
ethics, is there very much difference be-
tween turning ones share in 'salary
grab over to some other cause than that
of personal use and the set of coolly
pocketing the wad? An absolute refusal
to accept the money, or, in having any
part whatever in its disposal, would put q
man consistent without doubt, but this
giving it to some designated purpose
comes pretty near using it however
worthy the purpose. The ST. Johnsbury
Republican lsuds q Caledonia county SEN
ator who voted for the "salary grab" and
gave his part of the loot to q charitable
purpose. Such adulation is mighty far
fetched. Clipper.

The deputy sheriffs throughout Yer
mont have made the discovery that
whereas the high sherihs were nicely
berthed by the recent legislature in the
matter OF salary, they, the deputies, are
left with mighty thin pickings. The old
law provided that sheriffs and deputies
should be paid ten cents mile for travel
in serving writs and be allowed six cents
tor reading a writ and ten cents the one
hundred words for serving copies. On
that basis they made about seventy-five
cents for each justice writ and one dollar
for each county court writ. The amend
ed statute as printed cuts out all fees ex-
cept the ten cents q mile for travel, which
in no instance reimburses the officer for
his time or expense. The law went into
effect March 1. 1t imposes a penalty up
on an officer of ten times the amount OF
the excess where an excessive fee il
charged. The der uties in BrattIeboro are
up in arms, claiming there is nothing in
the position for them, and threaten to re
sign.

oestn Of Jueae s. c. eates.

News was received in st. Johnsbury
Saturday OF the death at his home in
Berkeley, Cal, of Judge Henry c. Bates,
for nearly 80 years a prominent lawyer of
that town. He made q visit to his for
mer home last summer. but was not in
good health. and while crossing the con-
tinent on his eastern journey be was
greatly affected by the high altitude. He
never fully recovered from this illness,
and returned to California to get the ben
eft OF q milder climate.
Henry Clay Bates was born in Derby,
VT, Jan. 20, 1913, and educated at the
public schools OF his own town. When
the war broke out he enlisted as a private
in Co. c, Massachusetts, Heavy Artillery.
Returning from the service, he began the
study of law at Newport, VT, and, being
admitted to the Essex county bar, prac-
ticed law for a short time in the towns Of
Concord and GuildhalI in that county. In
1873 be located in st. Johnsbury and
soon after formed 8 partnership with
Elisha May, who is now practicing law
alone. For many years the firm OF Bates
4 May was one OF the leading law firms
in that part of the state.
Judge Bates had distinguished public
career, beginning with his first public
OAuCo AooO9 uc was elected
attorney for Caledonia coanty. In the
legislature Of 1886 and again in 1883 he
represented his county in the state Senate
and was honored each term by being
elected president pro tenn OF that body.

island Of Panay. Located at a considera-
BILE distance from Manila, Judge Bates

that large island and administered JUS

ago and had since made his home in
Berkeley. He is survived by q wife and
one son.

need Of job for some prominent politi-
clan or lawyer is more frequently the
pressing object in view. 1t appears from
the Herald's editorial that this Brighton
court lacks the jurisdiction essential to
saving the state considerable in the keep
ing Of Jail prisoners, and just how it is
any improvement or economy over JUS
tice court does not appear As to the
rent allowance, well, this Brighton judge
is quite unsophisticated il he allows 500
of easy money like that to slip through
his fingers.

accosted him and asked him about the
wages which she claimed were due her
son from Baker. She apparently did not
get much satisfaction, for when Baker
was driving by her house in the after
noon on his way home he was again
halted by the woman. 1t is said that
Mrs. Shatney swore at Baker and called
him a series of vile names, ending up
with the threat, en- put bullet in
you"
Suiting her action to her word, she
then aimed large carbine and fired, the
bullet going through the back Of the
sleigh and into and through Bakers
body. 1t is said that there had been bad
feeling between Mrs. Shatney and Baker
for some time. Baker is thirty years of
age and is married. Mrs. Baker is in the
West, and their children are living with
their grandmother in Eden.
At a hearing Thursday Mrs. Shatney
was bound over under 81, 500 bonds to
await the action of the grand jury. She
could not furnish bail and was taken to
Lamoille county jail at Hyde Park.

a $4,000 Flre IN Milton.

The ringing OF the church bells at Mil
ton a little after O'Clock Friday morn
ing aroused the people for a fire in the
Masonic building, a two-story brick
structure, W hich was destroyed, together
with the residence of A. B. Ashley, in
which was the postoffice. The entire
stock OF the Milton Hardware company,
which opened for business a few days
ago in the Masonic building, was ruined.
The loss is estimated on the buildings
and contents at SIS, 900 to $50, 900, well
covered by insurance. The fire is be-
Iieved to have started around the fur
mace, as light was first seen through
the basement windows.
The second floor of the Masonic
building was occupied by the Masons
and it was impossible to save any of
their property. The next building south
was that recently bought by Postmaster
A. B. Ashley OF /. II. Phelps and oc-
cupied by Mr.. Ashley as 9 dwelling house
and postoffice. A valiant effort was
made to save the Ashley building with
the chemical engine but it was too close
to the seething flames. All its contents
were saved, though in a damaged con-
dition.
The two buildings were on River
street, IN central part OF the village md
adjacent houses were constantly in dan
ger. The chemical engine was work
ed well on the store Of F. E. Cormia
and on the opera house and a more
serious confiagration was thus pre-
vented.
The Masonic building was insured
for $4,000; the Milton Hardware COM
pany for about $4,000; the Masons had
between 5000 and $500 on contents OF
lodge rooms; Mr.. Ashley had $500
on his house.
Mr.. Ashley has taken his goods to
his house on Railroad street, from
which he moved two months ago, while
the postoffice has found temporary
quarters in part of E. o. Bepin's meat
market across the street

The Brandon Inn promptly closed its
doors when that town voted no license
March 2. The Inn, which is a nicely APP
pointed hostelry and one of the most pop
ular summer resorts in the state, has
been conducted the past year by three
Rutland men, largely for the revenues de-
rived from the hotel bar run in eonnec-
tion, the town having voted license last
year. The proprietors will keep the bar
open until the license expires May /.
There is much dissatisfaction over this ar
rangement. The local newspaper de-
mands the closing OF the bar, il the hotel
is to be shut, on the ground that the liz
eense was granted to the hotel as such. 1t
says the commissioners have full power to
act and should not let the licensees play
horse with them any more. The hotel is
to be opened June is for the summer
season only. 1t is claimed the house does
not pay to run the year around without
the liquor revenues.

cred, his administration starts under

BABY's ITCH EASILY CURED.
lnfantile Eczema Quickly Relieved by
External Use of Oil of Winter
green Compound.

lnfantile eczema, which has baffieC
the skill of the best physicians for Sc
many years at last seems to be durable
and durable with great ease
Results of the last two years indicate
conclusively that baby's itch, infantile
eczema and other skin diseases of chill
dren can be very simply cured by the
application of a compound composed OF
oil of wintergreen, thymol and glyce-
rine, as in d. d. d. Prescription.
The Rev. Lewis Steeley of Weather
ly,, Pa, writes:
Our baby boys little face was so
dreadfully covered with eczema that
blood and water ran from the sores
nearly all the time. After using 8 10
bottles of d. d. d. Prescription we
are so happy to tell you he is entirely
cured and the disease has never broken
out again. If this letter is in any way
a help to other sufferers, you may pub
lish it,"
If you have a child which is suffer
ing with this terrible itch, we are sure
you will not neglect one hour to give
your baby the right kind of relief. We
have seen too often how quickly the
remedy mentioned above takes the
itch away at once and how all the
cures seem to be permanent; we have
seen this too often to hesitate at all in
recommending the remedy for your
children. Honolulu Drug Co., Odd Eel
