the secretary of state and other de-

tent and stubborn indifference and
neglect of petty town officers that not
only fail to report what is required
Of them by law at the time it is re-

ever to repeated courteous reminders
Of their duty.
Notice the constant complaint made
by persons in unofficial life that
some town authorities will not re-

information, etc. and ignore letter af-

purpose
This is no new story The Messen-
ger has harped upon this theme for
years There is law on the statute
books that penalties the failure of
own officers TO make their reports to
The state at the proper time. Let it be
enforced. And enforced without
mercy. There have. been patience
and time and money enough wasted
in the attempt to be mild and polite
md avoid unpleasantnesS. Now let
rs have a little business done on bust
ness principles. The people in some
parts of Vermont sometimes appear
% think they do not belong to the
state at ALL They frequently fail to
exhibit the faintest sign of appreciate
ing the significance of the central
government and their loyalty and re-
sponsibflity to it. Vermont at times
is as unorgani1ed in spots as in the
days when clustering Ethan Allen
threatened to make Guilford as desc
late as Sodom and Gomorrah if the
Guildfordites did not stop playing

the state and obey its laws. Let
few of these shiftless town officials

eminent once or"twice and we would
see change in this direction mighty

Labor day is the least observed
holiday of the year in Bennington,
which seems rather strange in view
of the purposes for which Labor day
is intended. bennington Banner.
And yet our friends in Bennington
are rather inclined to murmur be-
cause other parts of the state do not
make great ado over Bennington
Battle day. Is it not possible that
their own experience of the obser-
vance or failing of observance of
Labor day indicates to them how diff
icult it is to force a popular senti-
nent into made-to-order holiday.
Holidays are natural evoutions of
popular habit and custom. Like
Topsy they lust growed" They
cannot be made out of hand-St. Al
bans Messenger.
No. Bennington doesn't murmur
because Bennington Battle day is not
more generally observed. There it
is and you can take it or leave it as
you prefer. Personally and privately
the Banner believes there ought to be
at least one holiday a month and that
they ought all to be observed to the
extent of stopping work, shaking of
the dust of toll and forgetting our
troubles as far as possible.

Several petty crimes committed in
Bennington recently are thought by
some to indicate that the freedom we
have enjoyed from this sort of thing
is at an end. 1t is probable that lax
ness in enforcing the law against
small offenders will lead to more seri-
GUS offenses, and Bennington has
been rather lax of late years in tais
respect. Strict enforcement of the
truancy laws, locking up and filming
more of the habitual DRINKS and
closing two or three places of doubt
full resort would do a good deal
toward protecting the town from flu
ture crime. The situation here is not
yet serious and the officials whose
duty ii is to enforce the laws should
not risk letting it become so.

Some of the state papers seem in
clined to worry because thirty young
men from Lamoille county have gone
to the Canadian northwest to seek
their fortune. OF course we all re
greet to see promising young men
leave the state, but the condition isn't
five young men raised in the state
three left it to settle elsewhere, until
there were more natives of Vermont
living outside of Vermont than there
were inside. Then too we are getting
back from Canada many more than
are going from Vermont to the Do
minion. Not only have we the thrifty
and industrious French Canadians in
all except the very small towns in Yer
mont, but also large numbers Of
Canadians of Scotch. Irisn and Eng
lish descent. Barre alone has several
hundreds of these people and the
number includes some of the towns
leading citizens, manufacturers, bust
ness and professional men. Among
the sons of the Dominion who have
risen to prominence in this state are
S. HOLSTER Jackson of the state pub
lie service commission and Editor
Howard l.. Hindley of the Rutland
Herald. There is hardly a large town
in Vermont which does not include
men of Canadian birth among its best
citizens. We hope the Canadians find
the young men from this state equal
ly desirable additions.

HIGH LEVEL FOR BEEF
Attains Price Which Has Not Been
Reached for Years.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE best grades
Of dressed beef aaye reached a level
not attained in years, the prices of
the best ribs and loins were advanced
~ TO cents. This was the action
of the wholesalers. Yesterday the re-
tainers had their inning and house
wives We're shocked when they made
their bargains for roasts and steaks.
The advance brings the Wholesale
price about cents a pound higher
than we quoted for the same grades
of beef Il year ago.

A refreshing way to serve water
melon is as follows: After selecting
"a fine melon, cut out a piece about
two inches wide by three and half
deep using thin knife that will cut
easily. Into the cavity pour enough
champagne to give the melon a deli
cate wine flavor. Put it on fee to
stand for five or six hours. Some
cooks like to use Jamaica rum instead
of champagne.-Prudence Prue in the
womans column of the Montpelier
Journal.
Heavens to Betsey, Prudence!
What are you thinking about in cir
culating the receipt for such an OBJ
noxious and absolutely immoral CON
coction. 1t certainly cannot be true
that Montpelier people put rum or
champagne in their watermelon We
have it on good authority that they
take their-watermelon neat.-Brat-

And would you have us infer that
they take their rum the same way?
