general welfare, more than the bad,

Were Not All Thieves.

Two years ago the salary Of the
senators and representatives IN Con
gress was raised ny their own vote
80 per cent, from $4,000 to $500, and
not criticism was passed IN any
part of the country because it was
recognized that this increase was
warranted in the increased cost of liy-
ing. At the presnt session Of Con-
gress the Senate has voted to in
crease the pay of the President of
the United States from $4,000 to
10000 and the supreme cour. JUS
tice from $4,000 to $4,000, and no
one thinks of any wrong being done.

The Barre Times has lost by death
this week the foreman in its compos-
ing room, Charles c. Ramsdell, who
for years has borne the reputation of
being the most artistic ad compositor
in northern and central Vermont. But
he was more than that as the editor
of the Banner can testify from person
al knowledge. He was one of those
old time printers who was as keenly
interested in the success of the paper
that employed him as the owner him
self. We remember well the day OF
the assassination of President McKin-
ley. Editor-in.Ch Langley of the
Times had gone to Isle La Motto. The
sub-editor of the Times, now editor of
the Banner, had been half sick that
day and went home in the middle of
the afternoon. The reporters always
left after the paper went to press so
that when the news came late in the
afternoon of the shooting of the pres
ident there was nobody in the Times
office but Mr.. Ramsdell and an ap
prentice. There was another paper in
Barre at the time and Mr. Ramsdell
recognized that the reputation of the
Times depended on him in probably
the most important news crisis in the
history of the paper He started the
apprentice hot-foot for the sub-editor
reiocKed the forms, all except the first
page, and cleared that for new matter
BY the time the writer reached the
Office Mr. Ramsdell and his apprentice
Phil Ellis, whom he had inspired with
his own enthusiasm, were all ready
to go ahead as soon as the dispatches
could be edited. The result was that
the Times had an extra on the street
inside 20 minutes with a comparative
" complete account of the shooting
The Times was so far ahead that the
other paper never even put out the
extra that it finally got ready nearly
an hour after the Times was on the
street. A country newspapers success
depends on the cooperation of all the
employees and no paper ever had a
more conscientious and faithful EN-
ploye than the late Charlie Ramsdell.
