CURRENT COMMENT
King Edwards Health.

The reports as to King Edwards ply
steal condition are evidently disquieting
to the British public The alarming
statements are fatty eontradicted by dis
patches from Biarritz which represent
the king as able to saunter for two
hours along the shore, and interested in
a golf match. Nevertheless, it is not
dissembled that his purpose in going to
Biarritz was to reouperate, and it il
known that he suffered from a severe
cold while in Berlin and returned from
his trip to the German capital mot quite
it," as the English say. In England
a discreet reserve as to ailments OF roy.
atty is observed by the public and press
and what is the exact nature Of the
kings malady seems a matter of con.
lecture. There are hints of "a kidney
trouble" which the public Is prone, often
enormously, to interpret as Bright's dis
ease.
In favor of King Edwards retaining
a large reserve of vitality are his strong
win and the courage which he in common
with all the Hanoverians possesses. They
are not feeble race, but strong willed,
and strong nerved. OF the six sover.
eigns they have supplied 10 England pre-
yious to King Edward, four have lived
beyond three score and ten, two being
pctogenarians. George /, died at sixty.
seven; George II at seventy -seyen;
George III at egihty-two; and George IN
at sixty eight William Nv was seven
ty-two when he died, and Queen Vie.
toria lacked but four months of com
pleting her eighty-second year. AS with
she exception Of George II and Victoria
the Hanoyerian soVereigns have not been
celebrated for sobriety Of life and de-
pertinent, the years they attained indi.
cate naturally strong constitutions,
which with ordinary care should have
given each Of them great length of days.

1t is natural that William ]. Bryan
OF Lincoln, Neb., should not feel salts.
fed with the personnel of President
Taft's cabinet for the reason that the
cabinet contains one man who refused
to vote for Bryan for president of the
United States and who now has the
audaeity to stand up in front of the
Nebraskan and declare himself Demo
crat. Such rank insubordination Mr.
Bryan cannot tolerate. Therefore, the
new secretary of war is certainly not
pleasing at all to the man who wanted
to be president, while the attempted
alienation of the @Solid South" from the
Democratic party by virtue of the APP
pointment OF a southern man to the
cabinet Is another thing which produces
a disquiet in the mind Of Mr.. Bryan.
No doubt there are other reasons which,
in the opinion Of the former candidate
for president, make President Taft's cab
met an unsatisfactory one.

Col. sawyer,s Honorable part.

At the time Of the Lincoln hundredth
anniversary, Ex-Governor and ex- senator
John w. Sewart Of Middlebury was said
to be the only delegate from Vermont to
the Republican national convention OF
1860 now alive. That was an error, as
Col. L. j. Sawyer, also delegate, Is
very much alive More than this Col.
Sawyer's part in the convention is es.
peeially worthy OF note. as he was the
only Vermont delegate who had had pre-
vious first hand knowledge OF the char
acter and personality Of Lincoln.
As a young man, after being admitted
10 the bar, Col. Sawyer went West, In
tending to settle there. He was in Iii.
nois during the famous Hneoln-D Douglass
contest for the t. S. Senate in 1858 and
heard Lincoln speak at Freeport and
elsewhere. That the Vermont delegation
went to Chicago in June. 1860. expecting
to vote for William II. Seward OF New
Yorkis a matter of history and, that
with New Hampshire, Vermont took the
lead among the New England states in
leaving Seward for Lincoln. Is another
matter of history. The step was taken
after Joint conferences OF the delegates
of both states, and in these conferences,
Col. Sawyer as the only man present
who had met and her a Lincoln, argued
most inauentially Of all in favor Of the
shift The change OF front ON the part
of these two states was the beginning
Of disaster to the Seward movement.
and for this change to Col. Sawyer
large credit is undoubtedly due.
Col Sawyer is now in advanced years
and the Nestor OF the Lamoille county
bar That his part in one of the great
est political movements in our history
should he a matter Of common knowledge
is but the due Of such service and reoor-
milton of it should come while he is alive

HIDING BEHIND THE NEWSPAPER.

HIDING BEHIND THE NEWSPAPER.
There IL 80 much, and, we might say,
such complete truth in what the Brat
.tleboro Phoenix has to say about anony-
nous communications In the newspapers
that we are tempted to print the fol-
lowing paragraph from the contempt
rary's editorial page.
There are people Of another class who
consider knocking the main province Of a
newspaper. If railing is needed some
where on the highway, If peevish dog
has snapped at a neighbours children, if
the road commissioner has been derelict
in his duty, if the physician has made a
wrong diagnosis Of case, or the little
political boss has been more intolerant
than usual, the newspaper is urged to
touch up the people concerned Very
often the trouble which il magnified by
the person with crouch II not a proper
subject for newspaper discussion, has
only been heard from one side, and very
often also the whole difficulty could be
easily adjusted by a quiet attempt to
reach an understanding and disagreeabIe
feeling aroused by the publicity Of an
airing could be avoided"
Then there il another side to this
matter Of anonymous contributions which
The Times might touch upon at this
time, and that is the cowardice OF it.
Nine times out Of ten these communica
lions would not be sent to newspapers ii
the writers thought their names would
appear under them, for one reason be-
cause the subject matter of the articles
contains something which the writer
knows TO be false or something which
the writer has not the evidence at his
command to support So he resorts to
an underhanded method of thrusting at
an enemy when the latter Is defenseless
for the time-being, Another reason why
nine tenths of the communications would
not be written if the signatures were to
be printed with them is the constituencies
of the writers to the public glare. Such
people, we say, better not write com
munieations. There may be, and prob.
ably are, other miner reasons why PRO
Bono Publieo," Constant Reader" etc.
would go into their hole if they were
asked to come out and fight man fashion;
but the two named above are the chief
ones.
Now the newspaper is q proper channel
for a discussion Of matters of public
concern and the newspaper generally
welcomes such use Of its columns; but

SENATE INVESTIGATES
RACE TRACK GAMBLING
Gambler Tells National SOlona
How to Stop Betting.
BETTOR HAS SMALL CHANGE
Big Delegation Of Reformers Visit Sem
ate Judiciary Committee in Support
Of Burhett Bill.

Warrington, p. C.--With q support
ing cast OF reformers galore both
male and female, Henry Brolaski, OF
Monrovia, Cal, who professed to be
gambler upon race tracks, was the
star feature OF hearing before the
senate judiciary committee In support
OF the Burkett bill to prohibit the
transmission Of race track betting
odds over telegraph or telephone
lines.
Mr.. Brolaski gave details Of the
gamblers life and showed the poor
chance OF returns for money invest
ed which Is given to the gambling
public. He was one OF the owners Of
q Mexican track which was put out
OF business at the instance of the
department OF state through cooper.
alton with the Mexican government.
He Is now seeking to have tracks, in
which he has no interest, dealt with
in like manner.
Brolaski said he had worked in his
line in st. Louis, Chicago, Worth,
Roby, Atlanta, Charleston, s. c., New
Orleans, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Latonia, Louisville and Bcnnings
tracks and had had twenty-one years
experience, He roughly estimated
that there were now in the United
States between sixty and seventy pool
rooms. He calculated that there were
in operation nearly 100000 hand
books. He said that in New York
city there were at least 100000 hand
books and pool room players and that
the evil was growing daily.
Pointing out the poor chance given
the bettor for q return OF any part
OF his wager, the witness said that
in pool room the percentage against
the player would run from rs to $50
per cent and In q handbook the per-
centage was from 5 to is per cent.
Common sense will tell you that
from S per cent up will eat up any
mans capital II taken out six times
a day. he declared.
There is only one means" said
Mr.. BroIasli, "of putting this evi
out OF business effectually, and that
is by the United States government
enacting law prohibiting the trans
mission OF pool room and race track
information over telegraph or tele-
phone wires and prohibiting the use
OF the mails to newspapers that pub
llsh race track prices or results"
