his IS Aprll ana Stlll Legislature
is in session. Wars and rumors O.
wars, or rather charge after charge,
are being heard thereabouts. The
bribery case is in full way in botf
houses. The senate is hearing the
witnesses in the case in a committee
of the whole house sitting as a jury
while the House has appointed &
committee to take the testimony.
More than one hundred witnes-
SeS have been summoned and the
outlook is that this affare will keep
the body here fully ten days longer
than it otherwise would have been
here. Senator T. G. Bilbo of
Poplarville, Miss. and Mr.. l.. c..
Dulany are the principle actors in
the case. Dulany is charged with
having paid Senator Bilbo to vote
for Mr.. Percy and against Mr..
Vardaman in the recent contest for
u. S. Senate. There is something
dirty in the water somewhere and
the dirt should be found and will.
The county attorney bill has pass
ed both houses of this body and only
needs the signature of the governor
to become law. The salary of
the county attorney range from
5000 90 to $4,000 90 per year to be
fixed by the Board of Supervisors.
This is good law, while not exact
ly meeting our approval in some
clrstances, for many criminal has
gone unwhipped of justice simply
because there was no one to look
after the matter in the lower courts.
The law is now passed to allow
the Board of Supervisors to buy a
plot of 200 acres of land and donate
some for an experiment station.
1t also gives the Board authority to
issue bonds to pay for same. 1t
looks as if the House will not per-
NIT the station newly created to
have any money for this period, but
we may get the Station established
and have everything ready for next
time. | believe that we should
build the experiment Station and an
Agricultural High school in connec-
ton, with at least 200 acres of land.
This school could be run in a way
that it would be practical by self
sustaining, and would help many
worthy boys in getting high school
education who would otherwise be
unable to do so. | feel that the
above arrangements would be one
of the best institutions for the mas
ses of our citizen that the county
could establish. Twenty thousand
dollars put into an arrangement of
this kind would be a wonderful in
vestment. Bonds could be issued
to meet the payments. Let our
people think on these things.
Several Neshobans have been in
this city in the past few days: Mr..
John Harrison, of Fair Ground,
Mr. and Mrs. Julious Parker and
DIR. Harrington of Hope. Mrs.
Parker was brought to the Sanitarium
here for treatment.
1t is hoped that this session will
close in few days, we can only
hope and wait.

Washington, d @ April II.
Congressman Byrd, of Mississip-
pi, has introduced a bill into
congress that brings the republi-
cans face to face with PROPOSE
tion they dread to meet. The
bill proposes to place all neces-
saries of life, such as meats of
all kinds, cotton cloth, cotton
goods, boots and shoes, lard,
sugar, bagging for cotton, gunny
cloth and similar fabrics suitable
for covering cotton, blankets and
flannels, ready made clothing.
shawls and knit goods, stockings,
hose, oatmeal, rice, bread, beans
salt, childrens' dress goods, and
hats, on free the list, that the
high cost of living now prevail
ing may be materially reduced.
A high tariff duty is levied on
all these articles, placed there
by the republicans in spite of
fierce domestic opposition when
the Payne -Aldrich tariff bill was
passed, and as this high tariff
duty is always added to the cost
of the article by the mapafac
turer, the cost of living has ad-
vanced to point where the mas
es are forced to deny themselves
of many Of the actual necessaries
of life.
Congressman Byrd has been
lighting to have the articles
enumerated placed on the free
list ever since he has been in
Congress, and he proposes to con-
tlnue the war fare. His bill has
been referred to the committee
on Ways and Means, and if that
committee does not take action
on it in the very near future, Mr..
Byrd proposes to move that the
house order favorable report
thereon. The republicans dread
q move like this, as it would place
them squarely on record as opps-
ing relief to the toiling millions
at a time when they are most
greatly oppressed by high prices
OF food and clothing. 1t was this
issue that won the democrats a
congressman in the recent special
election to fill vacancy in the
fourteenth Massachusetts distric,
2 district heretofore republican
by an overwhelming majority.
Congressman Byrd feels conf
dent that # the people are con
yinced that the republican party
means to stand by the trust anc
see the workingmen groune
under the heel of oppression
they will turn the party out o
power this fall and give a demo
cratic house Of representatives al
opportunity to afford relief.

Hunters Licenses.

The hunters of Brattlcboro appear to
be rather slow about taking out licenses
to hunt this year. Although the season
opened yesterday morning on small gam"
less than half the number who had taken
out licenses at the espondinE-tim last
year had appeared at the town clerks
office for new licenses. 1t may be that
most Of them intend to wait until later
in the season hut the Supposition il
natural that good number have ne
elected to take out their licenses and
will take a chance on going without
them. The fact that no one has been
prosecuted thus far for hunting without
a license may have had some weight in
this connection. and 1t may be that ac-
ton on the part of the game warden Will
be necessary to induce them to secure
the proper credentials. The new license
blanks are much simpler in form than the
old blanks. They state on the back the
open and close season on all game and
that the license shall be shown To
any person on request whether that per
son is an officer of the law or not
The laws regulating the hunting of
game in Vermont are as follows:
Wild duck and geese open season Sep
TENDER l to January l; limit 20 per day
per man.
English snipe. gray squirrels and plover,
September 10 to December L. limit five
per day
Rufed grouse (patrldge) and wood
cock, September Is to November Is;
limit five per day.
Rabbits and harcs, September Is to

Quail and pheasant are protected at all
times.

For Speaker. Frank E. Howe.

The result Of Tuesdays state election
would seem to indicate that the man for
speaker of the next House is Frank +.
Howe, the only man who has been given
a reelection from Bennington in years.
This fact alone is not a sufficient reason
for his being speaker, but it shows that
his abilities are appreciated in his home
town to such an extent he is given an
hcnor seldom conferred by the voters OF
Bennington. Mr.. Howe also possesses eX-
perence as legislator and will be,
probably, the best qualified man in the
House to perform the important duty of

One of the pleasantest outings ever had
by Brattleboro chapter Daughters of the
American Revolution, was a trip to the

an honorary member Of the chapter, and
Mrs Frank S. Harris of Putney were
the hostesses, and they made the oc-
casion delightful About Is members were
present The Brattleboro members as
sembled at the Connecticut river landing
about 2 o'clock and were taken to Put
ney in one of w. II. Bigeows large motor
boats. Mrs. Harris met them at the
Putney landing and escorted them to the
home of Mrs. Plantz, a short distance
awey.
Very soon after their arrival the meet
ing was called to order by the regent,
Mrs f. l. Swift, and Mrs. Plantz gave
feicitOus address of welcome, in which
she referred to some of the early history
of the town This was followed by roll
call, the members responding by naming
some of the colonial governors. Then
there was a short business session in
which delegates and alternates were
elected to attend the state meeting in
Montpelier in October. The delegates, be-
sides the regent, are Mrs. Georgia M.
Love of South Newfane and Mrs. II. w.

per fun of historic facts and incidents,
and was illustrated with maps Of Newfane
and Windham county and photographs Of
some of the historic spots in that town

of handiwork done by some Of her an
cestors of Colonial times.
At the close of the paper Mrs. PlantZ
took the guests about her home. including
the attic, and showed them many inter
esting fabrics. implements and articles of
furniture which had come down to her
from bvgone days. From then until the

and some of the Daughters walked up
through the village. At 6 o'clock supper

by Mrs. F. f. Knight and Miss Jennie

that town, who was 106 years old last
June. whose grandfather. Lieut.. Jonas
Allen fought in the battle of Bunker
Hill, and whose portrait has a position
on the first page Of the chapter year
book. On account Of Mrs Smiths very
feeble condition the members did not call
20 see her After supper the time was
spent in a social way until time to start
for the train for home, which reached
Bratteboro at $50.
