PRESS NOTES
No Grow Eaten Here.

Speaking for itself, The News has moth
ing to brag over in the outcome of the
goyernorship nomination. 1t has sup
ported no candidate, although it recog-
nized in Mr.. Batchelder's appearance a
man, who as governor, would do credit
to the state; but be was Handicapped in his
late entry and inability to give his can
vass the necessary attention. The News
has no apologies for the position it as
sumed, the only regret being that it had
not the ability aud influence necessary to
better help to bring about what II regard
ed would be for the greater interests OF
Vermont and the Republican party. It
is hardly necessary to say hat The News
will treat Dr. Mead as fairly in the future
as 1t has tried to do in the past and II he
is elected governor, which Is of course
conceded, II sincerely hopes that his ad-
ministration will be so able, helpful aud
dignified, as to turn the misgiyings OF his
ante-convention opponents into deserved
praise for his accomplishments North.

form of government is based upon the
rule of the average man-not the very
rich or the very poor, not the very wise
or the very ignorant, not the very good
or the very bad, but just the average type
Of citizen. II is hen the average man Is
too busy with the hoeing OF his corn or
with the cutting OF granite, or with his
toll at the bench or the forge or the desk
that the political heeter gets in bis work.
He is very careful not to disturb Mr..
Average Man, who really is. good citi-
zen. when aroused; but be passes the
word quietly among "a few Of The boys
upon whom be can depend TO vote
fright" the caucus Is carried, and the
voice CT the town very likely is given for
men and measures not approved by the
majority OF the community. 1t Is this
indifference, this apathy, that constitutes
one OF the most serious OF the evils that
menace our form OF government. The
average man receives all the protection
and all the privileges granted by me ns-
tion or the state to its citizens, and these
rights and privileges entail upon him cor
responding duties. Before our state gov
eminent was organized, Col. Seth Warn
er, being assigned to the task OF securing
reinforcements to resist Bnrgoyns's inya-
sion, wrote: 81 should be glad il few
bills of corn unhoed should not be me-
tive sufficient 10 detain men at home.
The same wish may be expressed properly
in regard to the performance Of political
duties. The average man ought to care
vi o Is nominated for governor TO execute
the laws OF his state, or who is nominated
as member OF Congress, to represent him
in the law making body n the nation.
The indifference OF the average man is the
opportunity OF the least desirable element
in our political life.
The average man Is not slow to eriticise
his governor or bis Congressman, as he
may think occasion requires, but II be
has neglected the duty OF Exercising bis
choice to help choose or defeat that OH
cial for the sake of hoeing corn, be
should confine his criticisms to matters
more strictly agricultural in their nature.
One of the great problems OF the govern
ment is how to make the duties OF citi'
zenship outweigh the cornfield Of the
average man. Montpelier Journal
Quoting the same articlel. And YET
no one could be quicker than the coutem'
porary to admit that nothing could bt
more surely fatal to our idea Of popular
government than to leave these indiher

II may be that political campaigns ar'
often overdone, that the candidates anc
managers and committees aud newspapers
exaggerate the Importance of some phases
Of them now and then, but it is all L

add them to the public school curriculum.
To do this we must have training schools
for young men and women in practical
lines. There are few of these already,
but not many, and their output does not
begin to supply the present call. Yer
mont has nothing OF the sort, though the
normal schools are trying nov to do a
little along that line. II is futile to de-
mand manual and domestic training with
out teachers to give it, and the only ~sy
to get teachers is for the state to take the
matter in hand and provide for their in
struetion. II will take a heavy invest
ment and considerable time to bring this
about. The sooner We start, the farther
along we shall be in the procession. Lag
cling now will mean a serious loss later.
Besides teachers in practical branches,
We must have larger schoolhouses to ae-
commodate them and their classes. And
they must be supplied with an adequate
equipment. There must be power and
machinery and tools for the boys, AID
household utensils for the girls. If agri-
culture is taught, there must be land, and
there should be live stock. 10 fact, il we
are to give the young such practical train
ing as will really fit them for manual
places in life, the vista is endless. Every
school should be a complete plant, with
all the leading trades and crafts exempli-
fed. The possibilities almost stagger the
taxpayer who must support the system.
One of the most serious problems will
be the lack OF time that the student will
encounter. II he yields little or nothing
OF book Instruction and it is hard TO
see where he can sacrifice much from pres
ent demands in this respect-and adds
manual training, he will find his boy.
hood and youth pretty onerous. We are
erowding children as it is. Where shall
we be il we require them besides to learn
some trade before they leave school9 II
will have to be managed according to the
individual tastes or talents OF the pupil,
feeding him such portions of cultural,
and such portions Of practical training as
he can readily assimilate, and varying
them as the case demands. And we ex'
pect it will be found that the period Of
instruction will have to be heightened
materially, to fit the added burden.
All these are problems that confront th'
educator, himself fully convinced that
practical training must soon enter, IL
some form, our public schools, and anxious
to so adjust the machinery as to produce
most tangible results.

Court re-assem bled on the 9Th at 2:30
after the Fourth Of July recess. The case
set for trial at that time was State VS.. DR..
Samuel Allen OF White River Junction,
charged with attempting to procure an
abortion upon a young woman from Rich
mond. In view of the fact that the infor-
nation had been filed so recently, re-
spondent's counsel, Charles Batchelder,
asked for little more time, and the court
gave the respondent until Tuesday morn
ing. st that time jury was enpaneled
and the trial began. II closed on Friday
afternoon hen after some thirty minutes
absence the jury returned with verdict
OF "Guilty.n The doctor was remanded
into the custody OF the sheriff, having
been surrendered by his bondsmen on the
bail. Sentence was not passed, as the re-
spondent has some exceptions taken dur
: ing the trial upon hich the case will GO
up on appeal. The evidence OF the state
+ tended 10 show that the young woman
who had been operated upon, Is claimed
/ by the prosecution, was taken very sick
on the night OF May 4. Medical attend
ance was called, and two physicians at
tended her; she was in precarious con-
dition and the local priest was called.
To him she made confession and hor
story bore out what was apparent to the
doctors attending her, that she had been
the victim Of criminal operation. The
matter was presented to the prosecuting
attorney Of Chittenden county, Henry B,
Shaw, who at once commenced rigorous
investigation. He made report to tbs
attorney general aud the present prosecu
ton was started, The girl said that OF
the 30th Of April she went by train t.
White River Junction, and at once wen
to see DR.. Allen, telling him her condi
ton, and her desire in regard thereto; tina
the doctor operated upon her and that OF
the mail train she returned home. Fiy'
days later came the miscarriage, as stated
above. That was all there was OF th'
states case, with the additional evidene
of young married woman who came Will
the girl aud showed her " here DR.. Allel
lived. The respondent admitted the cal
of the girl as she had testified, on anothe
occasion but denied any operation. Il
addition he introduced evidence that o.
the day in question, at or near the tim
the girl claimed the operation was pet
formed, be was at Enfield, n. H., twelv
= miles from the Junction. The state, i
. reply to this, said that the time be wa
at ENFIELD was not definite, and that b
still might have performed the Operation
before starting to New Hampshire.
The jurors were excused until Wedne'
day morning, when the last remainin
jury case was to be taken up. Final ad
journment will no doubt be reaehe

favor the Rutland candidates ambition,

There has been great change 10 opin-
ION in Vermont within the last few years.
The old war horses of high protection are
dying on and the younger men see a
clearer light in Vermont The older Re-
publican editors of the state were stead-
fast in support OF high tariff and against
reciprocity. There are no large manu-
featuring interests IN Vermont that need
much protection, but the farmers we're
educated in the past that the farms need
ed high protection from Canada and tom
reciprocity. They were in absolute dread
Of bat country and her farmers. The
fact Is hat Canadian farmers can produce
T their CROPS at very little less cost than in

j. A. DeBoer believes in the principle
OF the income tax. He does not believe,
however, that the federal government
should lay it for its own benefit, but that
the right should be reserved to the states

the national government should raise the
