An extraordinary mistake By un.
dertakers led to the remains OF a man
of independent means being twice
buried within three days at Noting
ham, Eng. recently. The man was
William Morley, who died suddenly
while on his way to the city. The
body was taken to the mortuary. but
the coroner deemed an inquest IN
necessary. The bodies of two pau
pers were also in the mortuary, and
during the day the funeral contractors
to the poor guardians were instructed
to remove these two bodies for burial
in the general cemetery.
Later in the day the friends of Mr..
Morley went to the mortuary for his
body, but we're startled to find that
the only body in the mortuary was
that of stranger The funeral con
tractors had buried Mr.. Morleys body

dug out of its paupers's grave and
given a second and proper burial the
following day.

Progressive state Platform.

Inasmuch as the Republican state plat
form is to come up for approval or amend
ment next Thursday it is natural that the
document will be exposed to criticism by
those who desire changes. This is proper,
but at the same time the fact should not
be lost sight OF that the platform as ii
stands is the best document OF the kind
ever offered to the voters Of Vermont. 1t
takes an advanced stand in relation to the
tariff, education, highways, public health,
conservation, weights and measures, agri-
culture and forestry and the liquor law.
Moreover the method taken this year to
bring the platform thoroughly before the
people, giving every citizen q chance to
critieise II and bring his influence to bear
toward amendment, will be appreciated by
thinking voters. II is probably the most
progressive step in platform making ever
taken in the country. While it is of
course impossible for all Of us to get ex-
actly what we want and all we want the
discussion and agitation are sure to bring
public attention to state issues and the
legislature elected in September will be
more likely TO carry out the platform

AT fair estimate, we should say that
about one voter in ten cares enough about
politics or the rival candidates. for offices
to attend caucuses on his own yolition.
This voter has formed opinions-or preju-
dices-from which he cannot be moved,
and he is on hand to vote. Besides him
are the vastly more numerous who don't
care a hurrah about it, one way or the
other. By going among them personally,
talking and working with them, it is pos
sible to get them TO turn out to the eau
cuses in numbers sufficient to affect the
result. They generally need only "stir-
ring up" and invitation to come. But
they need this, expect it, and won't come
unless they get it. Few voters pretend to
keep close run OF politics. With the
great mass, personality is everything,
measures and issues little or nothing.
This explains why there is always more
interest in a local town representative
fight than anything else. As the circle
widens, interest wanes. The average man,
hoeing corn out in the field on one of the
few fair days OF the season, is apt to think
that ii is of more consequence to him to
put as many rows as possible behind him
by nightfall than it is which Of two men,
personally unknown to him and who
care nothing about him except his vote,
is governor or Congressman. And though
it runs counter TO our ideals of govern
ment, perhaps be is right
