its able townsman, Hon. o. NJ. Barber
for the next governor of Vermont The
Burlington Free Press ably sets forth
the qualities required by the state in
its next chief executive without men
tioning any names. Although it is
supposed that Chittenden county has
one or two candidates in the brew il
must be concede that Barber would be
eligible under the high standard mark
ed out by the Burlington contempor-
airy.
The Rutland Herald sees in the
Free Press efforts an approaching
boom for Hon. c. p. Smith of Bur
lington for the governorship That
the exacting requirements for the
next gubernatorial candidate as set
forth in the editorial in question
should suggest to so able a contem-
porary as the Herald, especially con
sidering its environment the name Of
Mr.. Smith, is cetainly very high
compliment to that gentleman.
The Free Press belief that the peo-
pie will take plenty of time to look
over the field and that when they
manifest their choice they will insist
that he measure up to the highest
standard of Vermont executives" is
undoubtedly arranted.-Northfield

Neoro Troops in Vermont.

The Journal is not willing to be
lieve that any considerable number
of the people of Burlington have
shown intentional discourtesy to the
colored troops stationed at Fort
Ethan Allen. 1t prefers to believe
that the stories regarding displeas.
ure shown because Negro soldiers
entered restaurants and street cars
grow out of the acts OF few pre-
JUDGED individuals and in no sense
reflect the opinion of the great body
of patriotic and intelligent residents
OF that city. 1t would i'll become a
Vermont city to insult serious one
and one that we of the United
States army simply because he was
black Vermont mas too honorable a
record in the long fight that resulted
in the overthrow of Negro slavery to
deny to a colored soldier the rights
which are guaranteed him by the law
of the land
The race problem in the South is
serious one and one that we of the
North may not fully understand; but
the presence of few colored soldiers
at Fort Ethan Allen will not endanger
white supremacy in Vermont. Ii the
Negro soldiers are good enough to be
shot at in time of war while protect
ing our lives and property, they are
good enough to be accorded decent
treatment in a time of peace.-Mont-

The Value of Newspaper Personals

The Importance of newspaper per
a recent issue of the Milwaukee Wis
consin, which says that ito the read
ers of a small country weekly the fact
that Widow Brown has painted her
barn may seem quite as important as
to readers of Gotham society happen
ngs appears the announcement that
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish entertained at
a pink tea," also that the large city
dailies that grid at the personals in
the country newspapers are not so
witty as they think but are indefen-
sibly supercilious." This reminds
the writer of what he heard General
Charles II. Taylor, publisher of the
Boston Globe say at Globe" dinner
not long ago. General Taylor whose
paper is one of the most profitable in
what makes it so, has the same views
as the Wisconsin editor in regard to
personal news. He said that the most
profitable country newspaper he ever
knew about was one where the editor
made it point to print the name of
every subscriber at least twice a year
| Publisher A. p. Langtry of the Spring
| field Union said to one of his employ
es one time when there arose the pro-
priety of using a certain list of names
IF l could print the name of every
man. woman and CHILD in Springfield
twice each year l would soon double
the circulation of the Union" Live
publishers know the value of personal
news. There are those who scott at
it, but they are usually those who in
wardly would feel disappointed if
their little journeyings were not duly
ably no item ever was printed how
ever insignificant it might appear to
most people that did not contain some
element of personal interest for some
| body.-Brattleboro Phoenix.

The local health officer is besieged
by complaints of nuisances that it is
claimed ought to be abated. The com
plants usually come either verbally
or anonymously, neither of which is
legal. Under the law now in force
complaints must be in writing and
signed. A hearing will then be given
by the board of health and witnesses
summoned to determine whether the
alleged nuisance shall be ordered abat-
ed. In this connection the Banner be
lieves that where hearings are to be
given by the board of health they
ought to be held in the evening. A
working man cannot afford to leave
his work to attend hearing at o.

Foster and Plumley

Congressman Foster and Plumley of

an honest revision of the tariff on the
lines of the republican platform of
1908 as interpreted by President Taft
in his ante-election speeches and re-
asserted in the official statement re-
Gently given out from the Waite
House. They joined in a letter to
the Burlington Free Press some
weeks since stating that they voted in
the house for free hides, free COAL
free oil. free iron, free tea, free coffee,
for reduction of per cent in the
present tariff on boots and shoes and
for reduction varying from 20 per
cent to 20 per cent in the leather
schedules" and that they believed the
correct solution of the leather prob
lem was to place hides and boots and
shoes on the free list. 1t further APP
peared in this letter that upon all
schedules where they had an oppor-
tunity for selective voting they acted
upon the theory that the true inter
probation of the republican platform
of 1908 assured ito the lahore the
American wage, to the capitalist fair
profit and to the ultimate consumer a
reasonable scale of prices. They fur

MARRIAGE DELAYED.
Because Bride-Elect is the Victim Of
Measles.

Chicago, May 12.-Measles, just
plain measles, but aided and abetted
by, the Chicago health department
have baffled young Cupid. In conse-
,4uence the marriage of Miss Louise
Wilson, principal sufferer from the
measles, inasmuch as she has them
and must await their disappearance
before she can wed Arthur Nc
Cracker, has been postponed at least
two weeks. It was arranged for the
ceremony to take place to-day.
The wedding announcements were
ont and all preparations had been
made Monday for to-day's ceremony.
1t was to be at the home of the faith
ser Of Miss Wilson. Then, Monday
morning the bride-to-be became i'll.
Num-" muttered DR.. Beaudry,
when he had seen the patient. A very
light attack Of the measles. I must
obey the health department.
And the health department quar-
Tantined the house.
Pleadings were of no avail. The
bride-to-be became a trifle supersti-
tious about postponed weddings and
said. so. She even said she would
be married to-day or not at all, which
caused the prospective bridegroom to
urge that all means be used to per-
suade the health department. But
his pleadings we're in vain.
The wedding ceremony remains
postponed.

DIR. Nell May Resign.

The Greenville News of last Fri
day contained the following:
Persistent rumors, proceeding
from what may be declared to be an
official source, are current in Green
vile, that President P. H. Nell will
hand in his resignation to the board
of Clemson trustees at the July meet
ing.
A representative of the Greenville
News in an interview with DR.. Nell
over the long distance phone yester-
day afternoon was Informed that the
president Of Clemson had no state
ment to make for publication.
To the question, "Is it true that
your resignation will be handed in
at the July meeting Of the board, ="
Dr. Nell said that any rumor carry
ing such import was without any au-
thority from him.
ssNo one has any authority from
me to say that will resign" he de-
.clared.
In view of the many disagreements
and petty misunderstanding at
Clemson during past months it is
generally admitted that the resigna-
ton of President Nell would occa-
sion no great surprise; and it may
be stated that the present rumor
comes from q source that may be
credited.
II Col. NJ. L. Donaldson, the local
member of the board of trustees,

sToCKMAN READY TO SERVE.
Lexington Man Wants to Fulfill Sem
t5 tence on Changing.

lexington, May 12.-S. w. Stock
man came into town early yesterday
morning and gave himself up to the
officers and was confined in the jail
He stated to the sheriff that he was
now ready to begin his sentence Of
seven years for having killed his SON.
in-law, Hampton ]. Hartley, near
Summit, during Christmas, 1905.
Stockman wants to serve out his
time on the county chaingang instead
;of In the penitentiary, and Deputy
Sheriff Miller accompanied him to
the gang, but, as the supervisor was
not present, he could not be accept
ed, and the deputy returned with
Stockman to Lexington.
IT is question whether Stockman
can legally serve his time on the
schaingang. When he was convicted
Judge Dantzler sentenced him to
serve, seven years in the State peni-
stentiary at such labor as he might be
able. to perform. 1t is understood
that the reason Stockman prefers the
schaingang is because his people will
sbe able to see him oftener and can
attend to his wants better. He is
now IS years of age.
This ends, possibly, one OF the
shardest fought cases in the annals
sof the county. Stockman was tried
twice, the first time resulting in a
mistrial. At the second trial he was
convicted of manslaughter.
