In the dedication of the Sta

there was a pennant won by a

Bennington is naturally interested
in Hugh H. Henry the new state
commissioner of weights and meas
ures not only from the Importance of
his office but also from the fact that
he is the son of Col. Hugh Henry,
for many years president of the
board of trustees OF the Soldiers
Home. The young commissioner is
a worthy son of a worthy line, is
clean-cut, active, energetic and relia-
bile. This new Office is created in the
interest Of every person in Vermont
who buys goods by weight or meas
ure Dealers are not one whit more
dishonest than their customers but
the absence of proper regulation IN
this state for IS years has naturally
resulted in some abuses which the
new law and the new commissioner
are designed to correct Commits
sioner Henry and his inspectors will
begin their duties as soon as possible
after January first and the very fact
that any person who sells goods by
weight or measure is liable to
visit from them at any time, will in il
self undoubtedly prove corrective Of
most of the abuses now in vogue.

The Morning Star cruised about In
the Gilbert group until late in Octo-
Der. visiting a dozen of the Islands,
some of them two or three times as
it became necessary to transport or
exchange the native missionaries
from one station TO another. Miss
Park recorded that the schooner cast
anchor % times during the FIVE
months. Much of the time was con-
sumed in drifting with the strong
currents that prevail in that section
of the Pacific when there was no
wind to drive the schooner on its
course At times a week would be
required to make the journey be
tween two islands that had the wind
been favorable could have been &C
compl'shed Zoo few hours.
Not much rough weather was en-
countered but the cruise was not
without It's exciting incidents. On
one occasion several members of the
crew while ON shore became intoxi-
Gated through drinking palm toddy
and failed to- report nc the time for
sailing. The next day they were
punished by being tied 10 the mast
and whipped. The men resented the
chastisemeut and q mutiuy was only
prevented boy the dawn reviewers of
the captain and the mate.
From November until the follow
ing April the Morning Star was at
work in the Marshall islands carry
ing supplies from one missionary sta.
ton TO another lt was while the
schooner was cruising in this section
OF the Pacific that the Morning Star
met with the Observation-Disclosures
while Miss Park was ON board. She
dragged anchor, ran on a reef and
tore the copper sheathing from her
/ bottom, but fortunately there was a
German trading steamer IN the vicin
/ ity and assistance was secured to re
pair the damage Although the en-
/ tire year was passed in the torrld
zone Miss Park enjoyed continuous
good health. Her greatest afillctior
resulted from one of her shell.collect
/ ing expeditions She removed hel
shoes and stockings In order to wade
/ In the shallow water along the beach
and was so severely sunburned that
she was almost crippled for weeks.

Many years later a missionary from
the islands called upon Miss Park al
her home here and told her that IN,
children were still singing the sam,
songs with the same movements tina
she taught them so long ago.

Municipal Judgeships.

A municipal judgeship in Vermont
seems to be a political football. Mu-
nicipal courts are a part of a spoils
system. If these courts are worth
maintaining at all they are worth TAX
Ing out of politics. This opinion Is not
expressed because of the recent
change i'm the Bellows Falls court.
Here r. p. OBrien was presumably
appointed the first judge Of the court
as q recognition of political activity
on the right side. AT any rate IN
the ante-convention campaign OF 1908
Mr. OBrien was not found fighting
under the Zed Stanton banner Re
Gently G. IT, Thompson was appoint
ed Judge, presumably as friendly
reminder that he supported the right
man for governor AT any rate Mt
Thompson was not conspicuous for
activity in promoting the guberna-
torial chances of +. G. Fleetwood.
The whole system is founded on
the wrong principle. II ought not TO
be possible to convert any court into
coin for the payment Of political
debts.-Bellows Falls Times.

FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Pub'r

The Chicago Tribune has recently
collected some statistics on fatal
shooting accidents in this country
and one feature of the returns is
startling. From the figures secured
it appears that from seventy to nine
ty children under fifteen years of age
are annually killed through the care
less handling Of firearms either in
their own hands or in the hands OF
other children of similar age. In ad-
dition to the number killed there are
from three to four times as many
more annually manned or mangled
for life. 1t is high time that we have
more stringent laws to prevent the
selling or furnishing Of guns and am
munition to children.

With the renewed interest in the
production of foodstuffs due to the
higher prices, it is not strange that
some people i'll fitted for farm life
have undertaken the business and
made failures. In fact they have
made almost as bad a mess of it as
some others who have lived on farms
all their lives and still failed. This
is an intensive age and an age Of
specializing and no man nowadays
makes a success without study and
application. When a man begins to
consider going back to the soil he
needs to consider something other
than glittering prospectus of fer
tile farms and landscape effects.
