To republican and democratic voters :;
Don't be content to vote the easiest way
next Tuesday. Don't put cross at the
head of any one column, thereby merely
ratifying a party label. Instead, go
through the lists of candidates carefully
and mark crosses after the names of
those for whom you wish to vote. This
method may take a little more time, but
it will at least bring YOU the satisfaction OF
knowing that you have exercised your
own Judgment in so far as it is possible
under the present convention system.

Duties Of Town Clerks.

and the necessity for readjustment OF
its compensation either by way OF salary
or fees or both. II is bad economy e

Morrisville is making determined
effort TO secure the Lamoille county build
ings. but present indications are that
seven or eight of the ten towns in the
county will favor having them rebuilt at
HYDE Park. in view of the heavy loss
sustained by the latter town in the fire
of last April it cannot be expected to
spend any more money than it has spent
already for the sake of retaining the
county seat, and it is not likely that the
citizens of Lamoille county will act on
the principle that it is wise to impoverlsh

An earth shock caused considerable
excitement in the vicinity of New
port. N. H., Tuesday forenoon, but did
no damage. In Newport residents felt
q distinct trembling of the earth,
and dishes ratified on the shelves. The
shock came at about $50 A. m, and
lasted for three seconds. 1t was ac-
companied by loud noise resembling
thunder. The whole region about Lake
Sunapee was shaken, and the summer
cottagers were somewhat alarmed.

Potent Slang.

American slang. deplored by the
purists and revered by literary anar-
chists. remains the joy OF the unre-
er and more picturesque. Its full
value, however. has not been fully
realized. Sporting editors and short
story writer's have flung weird words
with wild abandon, but only to vitalize
anaemic English, or to entertain the
reader with language puzzles
1t remained for O. Henry to discover
new use for slang. And it is a seri-
Gus use. In one of his stories he
makes of our most esoteric slang a ma
tional code. Two Americans want to
communicate with each other in a
Central American republic at a time
when all kilograms are censored
They cannot use English or Spanish
for fear of detection, and have no
cipher prepared. SO one Of them tele-
graphs to the other in the great po-
tent code of slang" This is what he
says:
His nibs skedaddled yesterday per
jack rabbit line with all the coin in
the kitty and the bundle of muslin he's
spoony about The Doodle is six
figures short Our crowd in good
shape, but we need the spondulicks
You collar it. The main guy and the
dry goods are headed for the briny.
You know what to do"
Officials were unable to fathom this
cryptic message. If you are a true
American and understand your native
tongue. you should have no difficulty
with il. AS a sample of our inmost
patois, 1t is worthy of all admiration.

DEFENDS YODER
IN THE PULPIT
Richmond Pastor Scores Justice
CrGtchfield and Other Officials Of
Capital City.

RTCHM OND, Vas ecial.-
From the pulpit Rev. w. X. Bur-
rell, pastor of Paramount Baptist
Church, Sunday night severely ar
raigned Justice Crutchfield. Chief of
Police Werner, Commemorative Attor-
ney Folkes, the Police Commissioners
and others concerned in the recent Po-
lice Court trial OF Yoder on the charge
of publishing obscene matter tending
TO corrupt the morals of the youth of
the city.
The minister's text was Rich
mond's Shame" which he explained
was meant to denote ''laWlessness in
nigh places. or men in high places
taking upon themselves the enforcing
or annulling of laws and statutes not
as required, but as they chose and
recognizing and Interpreting their
oaths of office inconsistently"
Declaring that Justice John had
given the impression of a prosecutor
rather than judge-that Justice
johns announcement for Yoder was
uncaIled for and not within the prov
nee of judge. he designated the
whole trial as "a traVesty on Justice
and as i'm most violent contradiction
TO all existing ideas of justice, equity
and fairness"
He stated that Chief of Police Var-
ners behavior and statements under
Noders examinations on the Witness
stand We're pitiable and unbecoming a
Chief of Police. He said he had seen
face OF the CHIEF when the verd of w Tas
Commemorative Attorney Folkes. he
sara, had oeen unduly severe and IL
logical in his assertions.
He suggested that a number of Gift
zens and ministers band themselves
together TO secure more uniform ad-
ministration of law without fear or
FAVOR. and that these people secure
an Indictment of the grand jury
against the Chief of Police and the
Police Commissioners for malfeasance
in Office"
He said that "Yoder's publication
or the social evils OF the city was not
as bad as the fact that these evil
houses ana places exist and certainly
not half as bad as the overt admission
of the chief and commissioners and
Police Court that these houses are
under their protection, direction and
management
He said that il was obscene that
these people made such admissions"
Citing the cleaning up of Newark
| In 1908 and 1909, which resulted in
the suicide of the chief, the sending
or two police captains to Jail and ST.
600 fine. and $145,000 collected i'm
hnes and general dispersal, he warned
the people that Richmond was no
| impossible victim of a similar scandal.
| He expressed the opinion that many
or the most prominent ministers OF
| Richmond were incensed at the man.

and would very probably take some

He said Yoder's publication had
| done vast amount OF good-far in
excess OF any minor infraction it may
have committeeman had opened the
eyes, OF the ministry to a state of mu-
nicipal affairs which were intolerable
in any city and that he had the sup

The Richmond and Henrico Rail-

The site is at the foot Of Louisiana

The location is one that will enable
the company to get the full benefit
of all the water it may need. and
for the easy and quick receipt Of coal

be the purpose OF the company TO
compete for the furnishing of power
to the industries of the city when it

property has not yet been acquired,

NORFOLK TRACTION
co. WANTS FAVORS

4 summary of the provisions OF the
ordinance which the Norfolk and
Portsmouth Traction Company has
submitted 20 the city council, as con-
veying it's own idea of the relations
which the corporation and the munich
pality should hereafter bear towards
each other, covers franchise so
broad and comprehensive in its terms
that their statement all which
should be necessary 20 ensure the op-
position of every faithful and intelli-
gent representative of the public in
terests.
The company asks:
First. That the city contract not TO
tax the gross receipts of the company
in excess of -four per cent
Second. That the company be re-
EeVed Of the sale OF tickets by book
at four cents each.
Third. That the company be re-
lieNed of the sale of two and one-half
cent tickets. good between certain
hours, on the Bay Shore division.
Fourth. That the company be re-
heVed of the issuance Of transfers on
tickets of any kind-such tickets as
are TO be sold at six for a quarter to
be good only on lines within city linn
it's
Fifth. That the city obligate itself
TO offer for sale a thirty-year fran
chise confirming the above conditions
and granting the company street priv
oughtareS not now used by the Trac-
ton corporation.
In return for these concessions and
favors the company magnanimousIy
offers to build, equip and operate GER
tam croSStown lines; provided how
ever, that any or all of such lines NAV
/ be discontinued If, at the end of six
months, they, or any of them, shall,
in the judgement of the Traction Com
| pany, have proved Improbable.
| The measure is so framed as to car
| ry on its face what we learn to be the
| tact, that it was prepared and intro
| duced to the Council by the com
pany itself. for surely no member of
| the legislative body of Norfolk could
Suo motu have become the author and
| patron of proposition which prac-
ucally asks everything that the city
has to give and practically leaves what
Is TO be given in return at the discre-
ton of the beneficiary of the grant
so excessive and unqualified are the
| requests that specific argument
against the details would be SUPER
tlous. The Council which would
clothe public service corporation
with such privileges and powers would
grant it anything that might be asked
In short, so entirely beyond the pale
or consideration is the ordinance in its
present shape that we are forced tc
believe that il was framed on the same
theory that the Turkish mercha nj
charges an initial price of many times
what he is willing to take for the arti-
cles he has on Sale-prepared to WELD
tour-fifths on his original demand and
still be happy in receiving more thar
he was entitled to.-NorfoIk Virgin
