DUTIES OF THE AUDITORS
lSpringfield Reporter.l

Springfield ReporterD
We notice that Jed P. Laid, a
whilom resident of Grand Isle coun-
tv and now of Burlington, is said to
to be a candidate for Auditor of Ac-
cOnts.
Inasmuch as this official is called
upon to audit claims against the
state aggregating one million dollsrs
annually paid to say nothing of
thousands of dollars presented and
disallowed, it will be seen that from
financial standpoint this is the
most important Office within the
gift of the people and the greatest
care should be exercised by the tax
payers in filling it. A slight mis-
take on his part as to law or fact
might cost the state many times the
amount of his salary.
The duties of the Office are so
many and varied that a man of
exceptional legal training, of fair
mind and infexible will is required
to successfully perform them, and
everybody knows that the present
auditor possesses these qualifications
in preeminent degree. Why then,
talk gbout any change? No one
particularly complains of the official
conduct of Mr.. Graham save posi-
bly, some who have wanted some
thing that he could not bring him.
self to believe legally belonged to
them.
A great business enterprise would
not think for one moment of delib-
erately dispensing with the services
of well tried and efficient man,
long in it's employ, solely on the
ground that somebody, untried and
unframed, applied for the job with
no other Recommendation than that
the company had not for sometime
hired anybody from his particular
locality. While a man may have
lived for sometime on an island, it
does not follow that he. any more
than the island, is thereby preemi-
nently qualified to perform the du-
ties of this Office.
The present incumbent, Horace
T. Graham, has made an excellent
watchdog of the treasury" We
do not know whether he will accept
the Ioffice again or not, but if he
thinks of declining it on the ground
of the nsufficiency Of the salary, the
state could well afford to multiply
it ibv four rather than to lose his
services for some time 20 come.
In what we have said we do not
mean to be understood as rejecting
in any way upon Mr.. Ladd, but we
simply do not believe that the best
interests Of the state would be
served by defeating Mr.. Graham
with him OF anybody else.

PARKER & YOUNG co.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Parker d Young Co.
was held at Lisbon, N. H., Friday,
Dec. 3lst. The business done in
manufactured lumber was consider
ably over one million dollars for the
year. A five per cent dividend was
declared. The following directors
were chosen: H. E. Parker, presi-
dent; Fred S. Hall, vice president
ank clerk; H. B. Moulton, treasur-
er and general manager; F. E.
Thorpe, superintendent Edward X.
Woodwork. The prospects for
business are very favorable for
1910, and the company has every
reason for expecting successful
year.

tins issued by the Farmers Institute
Of Illinois. A Bloomington man,
took trip through Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine a few weeks
ago, says that a New England farm
would make fortune out of what
an Illinois farmer wastes, and he
was particularly attracted by the
neatness of New England farms.
White paint, looking as fresh as
though just applied, is in evidence
everywhere, covering any piece of
wood or metal exposed to the wealth
er. I'm my trip did not see
loose fence board, a gate hanging
by one hinge nor any machinery
housed in natures big she'd" But
returning through Illinois, over the
Alton railroad from Chicago to
Bloomington, this man observed the
farms closely and was struck with
the contrast to New England meth
DDS. He saw great deal of farm
machinery under worthless old ap-
pie trees and in dilapidated fence
corners, disreputable looking pig
pens and tumble down stacks of
hay and straw. In the northeast,
all forage is housed; none was seen
out in the weather. at seems to
me that the lesson which the Hi
nois farmer needs to learn most of
all, is that of preventing waste.
The Illinois farmer, with his rich
soil, certainly can learn much of
profit from the New Highlander,
with his stony land and short sea-
sons

On page seven will be found the
report of the Committee, appointed
by the Governor, to suggest amend
ments to the Constitution at the
coming legislature. 1t is one of the
most important documents, which
we have published in years, and it
should be read carefully that the
merits of the proposed changes may
be discussed in way that practical
good may come of the Committee S
preliminary work. There are two
corrections to be made in the text.
In Proposal six" next to the last
paragraph should read thirty-seven
states instead Of thirty-two states !;
at the beginning of the last para
graph Of Proposal Seven" it should
read Twenty-three states instead of
fourteen states.

designing a new machine from which he
expects TO obtain even better results.
Ralph Barnaby Bryant Battey and Wal
ter Phipps are among the hundred or more
boys, members OF the New York sections
OF the Junior Aero club, who have de-
signed and built gliders
One enterprising New York boy is max
ing money by designing and building model
aeroplanes and gliders He is Percy Pierce
l5-year-old schoolboy. and in the last
year he has made fifty or more OF these
models. Probably the youngest OF the
youthful experimenters is little Wilson
Marshall, jr., the I-year-old son OF a New
York yachtsman. Wilson has built a large
glider with which he Is making successful
flights. E. Irving Harnes. "A years old, OF
Los Angeles, Cal, has also built a glider
with which he has won many prizes
Another schoolbOy inventor is Jack
Rogers Of New York, who has built an
aeroplane different from the well known
machines. The frame is made OF white
wood, very few screws and bolts being
used. Where possible the joints are
fastened with waxed linen cord 70 give
elasticity and prevent the frame from
splitting In case OF accident. The whole Is

ated by drum from the center. The ma
chine has two propellers and is controlled
by two rudder planes.
Alfred p. Morgan and Harold E. Dodd
OF Upper Montclair. n. j., have completed
biDlane. The machine is twenty nine feet
long and has width Of five feet and Is
driven by a gas motor. For several years
young Morgan, who Is 4 freshman IN the
Massachusetts, Institute OF Technology, has
been experimenting in aeronautics and in
that time has built many model planes
The present aeroplane Is the result OF this
work. Before installing the engine the
boys used the plane as a glider.
Cromwell Dixon, jr,, a boy OF Columbus
o., has for some time been making flights
In dirigible balloon, propelled by a de-
vice Of his own invention He is a slender
lad and while only now in his sixteenth
year has for several years been known as
the worlds youngest aeronaut Dixon has
also invented a mile-a-minute motorcycle

police because it was alleged that he had
stolen about $3.50 worth Of fixtures and
machinery from various yachts along Long
Island sound and used the material to
equip a high grade wireless station which
he had constructed near his home in the
Bronx.
Weddie Stokes, whose father, w. e. d,
Stokes, owns the Ansonia hotel had con-
structed before he was Y an unusually
fine wireless apparatus on the roof OF the
hotel He has accomplished good results
with his outfit but this has been super
seded in his interest by a wireless tele-
phone which he invented some time ago.
He has also constructed a glider II
worked so well from the roof OF a barn
IN the country that the lad had It shipped
to New York. When it arrived he with a
few chosen spirits went 10 the eighteenth
floor OF the Ansonia hotel and was about
to step off into space with his glider when
his father arrived on the scene II Is

high power instruments. Each made his
entire apparatus, young Worth construct
ing most OF his out OF old clocks. William
Pearsall, another l6-year-old Brooklyn boy,
built an instrument with which he caught
messages coming from 1000 miles at sea.
Alfred Page Lane, II years old. OF Man

miles by his home made instrument. Emil
Krebaum, only Il, has put up two poles,
each l25 feet high. which support his aerials

That science and morality do not always
go hand IN hand was shown in Los An
geles. Four boys. ranging In age from IA
to II years. who were arrested for burglary
by the police. tipped off the other mem
bers OF their gang by wireless. It was
discovered that the gang had been Oper-
atinE an up-tO-dats burglars club. Wire
less stations were installed by the boys
and operated in various parts Of the city
and the members OF the gang were kept
informed OF one anOther's movements.

the harvester trust for real money.
Francis Lee Herreshoff, the Young
nephew OF the yacht designer. has con-
structed high power racing automobile,
which has developed a speed OF eighty
miles an hour, He has patented also a de-
vice for subduing the glare Of acetylene
lamps
Wonderful as is the record Of these boy

In addition 10 those who did apply for
patents there were thousands OF others
who built for their own amusement various
forms Of mechanical and scientific instru-
ments and never bothered protecting their
ideas Incorporated in the construction.
When the government took steps TO sup
press the amateur wireless operators the
secret service men found in two weeks
investigation that there were not less than
200 boys In Greater New York capable OF
intercepting any message which might be
sent from or to the fleet. Hundreds of
other boys in New York City are working
with wireless apparatus, but are less ex-
pert In its use.
OF course, the early training that the
modern boy receives does much 70 stimu-
late his inventive faculties. Manual train
ing is now taught in many schools and the
boys and girls are encouraged TO make
tools and instruments they may need. For
the last two years special instruction IN
the making and use OF wireless apparatus
has been given az the ehildrens museum
OF the Brooklyn institute. The results are
visible on several hundred roofs Of that
city.
