the White river valley this season, and
the wish is expressed that the editors of
the papers in Burlington, St. Adams,
Bennington, St. Johnsbury, Rutland,

towns Of the state, might come here and
write it up for the benefit and delecta-

Deeds Of DARKNESS In park.

Deeds Of evil are done in darkness to-
day, as they were in New Testament
times, and the way to minimize their
number is to sned light upon the dark
places. Nine-tenths of the crimes com
mitted, especially in suburban districts
take place at night, and police author
tiles agree that the best preventive is
good street lighting. An official history
OF the st. Louis police department clear
~ brings out some phases of this ques-
tion. "The electric lignt,' il says, lis
the ablest foe Of the criminal Such
lights in the business districts give the
shoppers a feeling Of security obtainable
in no other way. Electric lights in the
home are the best protection against
burglars. One whisk of the switch and
a flood Of light is there to discomfort
the bodest house breaker in the land.
The st. Louis writer might have added
that light is a safer weapon than a
revolver which in unaeeustomed hands
is seriously liable to "disconcert" an in.

BENEFITS OF STREET LIGHTING.

BENEFITS OF STREET LIGHTING.
When the Barre city council is making
up its estimates for another year, it is
to be sincerely hoped that allowance
will be made in the street lightning de-
partment for the burning of the are
lights throughout the night rather than
for the period up to midnight One au-
thority for statistics says that nine
tenths of crimes take place during the
night, and that one Of the best prevent
ives Of the crimes, or rather a portion
Of the crimes, is good street lighting, the
criminals fearing to act when the light
makes their work more easily detected.
The police say that the electric light
il the ablest foe OF the criminal Much
Of the store thieyery in Barre could be
done away with if the street lights were
kept burning all night, as the thieves
would not be able to skulk about the
stores, while at the same time the work
of the night patrolmen would be made
more effective, because of the wider
range Of vision afforded.
III addition to the benefits to the po-
lieemen is that to be derived by the
fremen. a large percentage of the calls
to the fire department come in the early
hours OF the morning, when, under the
present arrangement, the streets are
dark as a pocket. Into this darkness
the drivers Of the apparatus have to send
their horses, trusting somewhat to luck
and somewhat to the instincts Of the
animals that they will not come into col
lision with obstacles, either temporary
or permanent. Doubtless, this ncer-
tainty of driving slows up the fremen
to certain extent and prevents the
arrival OF apparatus as expeditiously as
would be possible were the streets light.
ed and the roadway made reasonably
clear in outline Moreover, the street
lights enable the firemen to cope with
fires 70 better advantage, inasmuch as
the light reveals ths location Of by.
drants, discloses approaches to buildings
and prevents injury which might be re-
ceived by falls into deprossions and
holes. Therefore, firemen as well as po-
licemen, will testify to the advantages
of street lights, while the general public
will feel safer if the all,night system
is established in Barre Other reasons
have heretofore been advanced in its
favor.

Cost Of Being a Barometer.

One of the most important of the
proposed amendments TO the Vermont
constitution is proposal three, which
provides in substance that the general
assembly shall meet on the first Wednes-
day after the first Monday Of January,
instead Of meeting as now in October;
and that state and county officers shall
be elected on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday OF November instead of on
the first Tuesday Of September.
Only four or FIVE states of the Union
now hold elections at any time other
than on the date proposed in November
but Vermont is one of the few ndug-
ing in that luxury. If it were possible
to compute the extra cost of holding
separate elections every four years for
state officers and presidential electors,
the expense Of ballot clerks, and other
officials, rent OF polling places, and all
the cost incident to setting in motion the
machinery of voting, it, would be found
to amount to a considerable sum in the
aggregate for the 246 towns and cities
Of the state. Then there is the time
and trouble incident to going to the
polls, which, in the country districts
is considerable.
We can just as well vote the state
and presidential tickets at the same
election, and this saves an extra cleo
ton day every four years. The pres
ent method originated when members
of the legislature must journey to the
state capitol on horseback or By team,
and October was a more suitable month

members may travel by railroad in the

farmers, who constitute a majority Of
the legislature can leave home in Jan
uary better than in October, There

der the present system.
The principal objection to the pro-
posed change seems to be that Vermont
no longer would "set the pace in her
elections for other states, but IL is a
pretty high price TO pay for being a
political pacemaker or barometer, to
hold two elections when one would an

Quoting its gain OF 296 during ten
years the Morriville Messenger declares
There is nothing the matter with La
noble county and growing towns" Still,
a county which did not gain more than
that number in ten years cannot be con-
sidered all right although we are aware
that six counties Of the state fell off
in population. There was all but stag

fore, the contemporary ought not to
breed any feeling Of satisfaction over
existing conditions, but should spur its
people on to renewed efforts to make the

Morrisville is not a large county, nor
so well favored naturally as some of the
others, but nevertheless it can develop
its agricultural interests.

ACROSS THE OCEAN BY THE AIR
ROUTE.

At first thought the attempt Of Walter
Wellman and party to sail, actually sail,
across the Atlantic ocean to Europe
seems to be extremely fooIhardy, and
little likely of consummation, inasmuch
as it is the first move toward that dream
Of dreamers, an air flight over the tre-
mendous stretch OF waters; but when
the conditions are examined, one is less
skeptical of the success of such an under
taking within short time, even though
Wellman should not be the one to reap
the benefits OF the first success. The
thing which bids fair to make the ex-
pertinent successful Is the use of wire
less telegraphy, when will enable the
passengers on the great phantom ship
TO keep in fairly close touch with people
who are in less preearious positions than
Wellman and who are, Therefore, able to
render some assistance in case of dire
need. 1t was Wellman's purpose to keep
as nearly as possible in the tracks Of

that the captains OF the various ships

ever assistance they can to the explorers
overhead. Thus the peril of the under
taking is very greatly lessened.

. WIDOW JOINS SHOW,

Grant Hager and Governor Burke
have been carrying on quite a CORES
pondence, new scheme in the line of
campaigning. Grent started it and his
honor liked the scheme so well that
he copied the plan and answered the
letter, then Colonel Hildreth thought
he was some letter writer, so in a few
pathetic words told Brother Courte-
nay what he thought of him, and
certain widow. How the widow ever
got into politics is hard telling but per-
haps Colonel Hildreth was envious. At
any rate Brother Courtenay answered
the letter. 1t seems that correspond
ence school education has gained so
much renown that it has found its way
into politics and before we get thru
with it, we ill all be writing letters.
There has not been so many letters
written this week, as the Burke thea
trical troupe has been on a barnstorm-
ing tour and as several matinees have
been put on to let the matinee idol
work before the ladies, there has not
been SO much time for letter writing,
as was the case last week when the
troupe was held up ON account Of rain
and poor houses. 1t is said that since
Hildreth got the widow into the show
it has lessened the leading role and
Burke may also have some difficulty
