EXCESSIVE FORMALITY?
Trustees Of the Hospita, Want
to Change Contract With
the County,

The board Of supervisors last night
received from the trustees Of the
Queen 5 Hospital a proposal for a new
scheme Of handling county patients,
and incidentally, the communication
from the trustees making the new pro
po,al discussed the question of why Ha
waiians do not like to 90 to the Queen 5
Hospital. 1t is suggested in the letter
of the hospital trustees that red tape -
responsible
Mayor Fern opposed the plan of the
hospital trustees He sent in a com
munication to the board advising that
the present system Of taking patients
at $50 per day be maintained. The
Mayor 5 communication and the letter
from the trustees of the hospital, are
as follows:
The Honorable Board of Supervisors,
of the City and County of Homo
lulu.
Gentlemen:-I beg to transmit to you
a communication from the trustees of
the Queen s Hospital. in which they
ask for an appropriation of $1,000 per
month instead OF the $50 per diem
basis on which we are working now,
stating that they believe the Hawai-
ians will not apply for admission to
the hospital to the city and county au.
thorjtjes and thus the trustees feel that
the hospital IS not accomplishing the
purpose for which it was established.
Besides admitting all. Hawaiians free
without applying to the city authorities
they Will allow 700 hospital days per
month for other nationalities. AS the
arrangement for paving $50 per day
was at the suggestion of the hospital
trustees themselves. and as they recelv-
ed practically $1,000 per month since the
agreement was made | feel that we
had better leave well enough alone. at
any rate in the financial stress which
we are undergoing at present. there is
a chance for the city and county physi-
elan to save a little unless some I'M
forseen epidemic crops up. | would
recommend that we keep to the present
agreement at least until July first

Cow Testing Associations.

For some time not only the state ex-
pertinent station but the newspapers as
well have been trying to convince the
farmers of the state of the value of cow
testing associations, but probably not
to exceed halfa dozen of such associations
have been formed.
Now if you could pretty conclusively
show a merchant that it was question
whether he was making or losing money
on certain line of goods and tell him
that for small sum it could be definitely
shown on just which side the balance
was he would jump at the chance.
Now this is just what the cow testing
does; shows the farmer conclusively just
what animals are making money for him
and just what ones it does not pay him
to keep. And still the farmers have had
to be coaxed and leased into joining the
few associations that have been formed
in the state.-[ st. Adams Messenger.

VermOnterS in California.

Loyal Yankee folk abiding in the west
and organized as the Vermont Associa-
ton, held their annual maple sugar party
recently in Oakland, Cal. Fully hun
dred of the Vermonters were present and
there was a great feast of the maple
sugar sent all the way from the Green
Mountain state and served in lavish
quantity con the snow" in the good, old
style as it is 'back horne'' in 81 sugaring-
off time"
Between courses, while the sugar
thickened and hardened and was melted
again, there were speeches and songs,
stories and great good time President
J. E. Fox of the association addressed
his assembled Vermont brethren and
womenfolk, as did M. O. Evans, Jr., the
association secretary, and during the
course of the evening there were informal
speeches by Major Edwin W. Woodward,

Praise for a Landscape Painter.

The Boston papers speakin high praise
of the paintings of William I. Kaula
which were exhibited in Boston galleries
and studios just before he came to st.
Johnsbury where he is pursuing his VOC
ton for few weeks. At his exhiF7i
of landscapes in the Normal Art Gallery
small landscapes predominated and the
art critic of the Boston Journal said the
exhibit was fully as creditable and
attractive as the large paintings shown
at the Twentieth Century Club a month
previous. ut is in the skies that we are
to look for the most beautiful and varied
passages of painting. These skies are
now bright, brilliant and glowing with
light, now sombre, portentous,
dramatic"
The art critic of the Boston Herald
praised Mr.. Kaula's sky effects at the
Twentieth Century Club exhibit as
follows:
"There is strongly expressed in each
picture the dominance of the sky over
the earth, and apart from the excellence
of the cloud painting this effect is produc-
&c by the placing of the sky line 1t is
evident that, whatever the subject, the
sky is the hero of each of Mr.. Kaula's
landscapes"
In lengthy review of Mr.. Kaula's
last exhibition the art critic of the Bos-
ton Globe devotes all his article to the
artists creation of sky and atmospheric

PRESS COMMENT.
Advertising That Pays.

1t has always been considered as true
that the successful business man was the
judicious advertiser. Advertising in well
conducted business establishments is
just as important as bookkeeping and
should have the same thought given it.
A haphazard method of bookkeeping
will prove disastrous to a firm, and an
Indifferent method of advertising will not
bring forth much satisfaction. But if
a merchant will give an hour a week to
the preparation of an advertisement, he
will at the end of a year realize that he
has each week sent forth message that
will do him much more good than any
other possible way to gain the attention OF
the people. The large insurance companies
the large real estate companies and even
the railroads are reaching out for more
business and are annually getting it be-
cause they ask for it. The well managed
newspaper, year in and year out, gradu-
ally creates a large following and the
people who read the literature are bound
to read the ads.
First of all chose a publication that
circulates in your neighborhood; let it be
known that your ad will each week con-
tain message interesting to the buying
public and you will see this buying pub
lie will beat track to your door, Elk
change.

Married at MOrriSvills.
St. Johnsbury, VT,
May 21, 1910.

The following account of the Goss-
Russell wedding was taken from the
Morrisvil1e News and Citizen of May -:
Last Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Orrin N.
Russell on Laporte road occurred the
marriage of their daughter, Miss Erma
Julia, to Frank B. Goss of st. Johnsbury,
the ceremony being performed by Rev.
Otto S. Raspe of the Universa1ist church
of Morrisville. The single ring service
was used and the couple was unattended,
the ceremony being performed in the
presence of only the family of the bride
and near relatives.
On Saturday evening the neighbors and
friends of the bride, to the number of
about sixty, including several from the
village, gathered at the Russell home,
where a reception was rendered Mr.. and
Mrs. Goss. The evening was enjoyably
spent in an informal way, refreshments
of sandwiches, cake and coffee being
served. The happy couple were the
recipients of many nice presents, includ-
ing silver, linen, and cut glass. The
friends who attended the reception pre-
sented them with valuable clock. Mon
day evening Mr.. and Mrs. Goss left for
their future home in St. Johnsbury,
where they will begin housekeeping soon.
The bride has always resided in Nor
risville, where she has large circle of
friends, with whom the News and Citizen
joins in extending congratulations and
best wishes. She was formerly a student
at Peoples Academy and for nearly a
year had been employed as a compositor
in this Office. The groom is employed by
the c. H. Goss Co. in St. Johnsbury and
is highly spoken of in his home town.

Unfair Advertising.

The marked similarity of editorial
matter and press clippings that is ap-
pearing in all the Mead papers without
any marks to distinguish it from other
unpaid matter, is very noticeable. If
these papers are printing this matter for
pay they are violating the law. If it is
of their own free will, it is very unfair to
their local advertisers. This matter
would have done DIR. Mead far more
good if it had been put out as political
advertising" over his own name, as in
the Clement campaign. The people are
not to be fooled. They know where this
matter comes from and would respect it
far more if it was properly labeled

G. A. R. and W. R. C.. Meet.

After the regular corps meeting. held in
the new 6. A R. Hall, May 10. the post
was invited to join the corps to celebrate
Peace and Arbitration day with Mrs.
Smythe in the chair as patriotic instruc-
tor. The program consisted of a read
ing of peace passages from the Bible by
the chaplain, Mrs. Sarah Adams, support
ed by the standard bearers with flags; a
piano solo by Mrs. 6. I. Green; short read
ings by Mrs. Hovey of a peace meeting
showing that many great minds were in
terested with the peace idea and nations
should know war no more; reading by
Mrs Butter6eld The Arsenal at Spring
feld;'' song by Mrs. Clair; and very in
teresting and instructive address by
Commander Elisha Nav. His subject
was the unprotected border of our
neighbors on the Canadian line. He
referred to the Fenian raid during the
civil war and the fear our people had at
that time. He said that fear was all
past and the Canadians are our friends.
After the address there was a reading
by Mrs. Adams, Our Father1and, vocal
selection by Mrs. Clair and the patriotic
instructor of the corps called On the
patriotic instructor of the post, E. L..
Hovey, to speak on the subject "Our
Worst Enemies, Are They Without the
Border or Within?" He said we have no
enemies either without or within whom
we need fear and he gave very patriotic
talk showing his loyalty to the flag.
"Why should we talk of Peace and
Arbitration, Peace is with US to stay,
and we have nothing to Arbitrate."
Many good things were said instructive
and helpful. The meeting closed with
the flag salute and singing of America.
Then followed refreshments of cake and
ice cream which all eniOyed.

The Nub of the Whole Case.

In the course of a long editorial de-
Tending the course of DR.. Mead as can
didate for governor the Newport Express
and Standard says:
Candidate Mead's mode of conduct
ing his canvass is not deserving of crit
icism, because it is not one whit different
from others preceding him. He has set
no precedent in this respect. Yet no
candidate for the governorship for the
past 20 years has been assailed as has
Lieut,-Gov. Mead"
In these few sentences the Express and
Standard has stated. one of the most
serious charges against DR.. Mead.
Against the liberal use of money that
has been made in past campaigns the
people of Vermont protest and want a
change. To this demand for the choice
of governor on his own merits and
without an improper and lavish use Of
money DIR. Mead's canvass lis not one
whit different from others preceding
him. In other words he refuses to aid
in the least for the fight for purer politics
in Vermont.
On the other hand Mr.. Fleetwood
boldly proclaimed that he believed the
time had come for a change in political
methods, that campaigns should be con
Quoted without an improper use O
money and he has practiced what he
preached. He has more ability as g
public official than DIR. Mead, is as wei
fitted by training in public service and
with his uncomprornising stand fol
purer politics in Vermont his candidacy
is daily growing stronger with the PEG
pie.

To Err Is Human.
EDITOR CALEpoNIAN:


Since Postmaster CampbelPs address
here on Thursday evening a record has
been kept at the office of the mistakes
made by the St. Johnsbury patrons.
The record covers only three days, but
includes the following irregularities; A
business letter mailed to Stamford, VT,
instead of Connecticut letter from an
other firm giving a street and number
and addressed to St. Johnsbury instead
of Pawtucket, r. l.. a razor mailed with
a two cent stamp and no address on the
package; letter addressed to ]. Jones
with nothing else on the envelope to in
dictate the sender or the home of the adj
dressee; letter coming to St. Johnsbury
containing quarter which rolled on the
floor when the mail was being sorted
and was delivered to the addressee; let
ter addressed to Canaan without any
state on the envelope; a letter addressed
to Chicopee Falls, VT, instead of Mas
sachusetts.
Minor errors included two letters mailed
unsealed, eight letters mailed underweight
with postage to be collected when deliv-
cred at the other end, several papers
held for postage because they should
have two cents postage instead of one
cent, and post card with message in
a feminine hand but unaddressed.
The above is but three days record,
but is enough to show that mistakes are
happening all the time. Unless the name OF
the sender appears on the envelope it. is
sometimes impossible to deliver the let
tiers, and ifthis communication helps to re-
mind the patrons of the Office to use pro-
per care in addressing their mail it will
have served it's purpose.
Respectfully Yours,
A. F. STONE, Postmaster.

Mead Admits Incomnetencv.

The announcement of John A. Mead
that he proposes if elected governor of
Vermont to keep a corps of advisers with
him at all times, principal among whom
will be Sen. John L. Lewis, his campaign
manager, if it means anything. is a con
fession that he does not feel himself quail
fed to serve the state as governor. Aside
from naming Lewis as his chief man he
does not indicate who the real governors
of the state will be. So the choice of
Mead will be much like buying a pig in
the bag. Mr.. Lewis competency as an
adviser is not questioned but if he is to
be the governor in fact why not make
him governor in name Vermont has al
ways admired men who were capable of
serving as governor themselves rather
than men who propose to serve as mere
figure heads.

A Communication.
A Writer Objects to Enforcement of Law
Against Sunday Fishing.

Against Sunday Fishing.
News of many arrests while fishing last
Sunday comes to our notice. One of our
good friends w HON the town has seen fit
to honor with many important Offices,
and whom the government is willing to
trust with it's post office fell victim to
this spasmodic effort to enforce law or
morality as the case may be. Automo-
biles with their unspeakable noise, smoke
and smell can go ''honking'' through
our streets. Railroads can run excur-
sions to carry the mobs to the mountains
and seashore. Owners of fine turnouts
Tor otherwise) can drive for pleasure.
Motor boats and row boats can be oper-
ated on our lakes and rivers, some local
tiles allow base ball, why last week New
York State opened all golf links to the
devotees of that sport, and all this on
Sunday. But the man who had been
busy all the week, who had had no time
to devote to his favorite pastime before,
and so, took his rod and went quietly to
some favorite and secluded nook to fish,
suffers the ignominy of an arrest. With
out assuming whether or not any of the
above sports are proper or improper for
Sunday pastimes, submit that the ar
rests are not square DEAL" Is it not
rather strong indication that the bov
with ''crooked stick for a fish rod
has mighty poor chance with the man
who has the money to buy his sport.
We have on our statute book some very
nice and beneficial game laws. We have
others the wisdom of which may be
doubted. and especially is this a fact
when these>chaotic and doubtful sections
are enforced by men whose chief occupa-
ton is that of politics.
