Commissioner J. w. Titcomb says
that every owner of hounds or
similar dogs should keep them
tied up at this season of the year
as they are likely to chase deer,
and the does cannot possibly es-
cape at this time. Editor Greene
will agree with the Commissioner
only that he would not limit the
breeds nor, possibly, the length of
time. The dogs in st. Adams have

st. Johnsbury has decided to
have real Automobile Show May

This garage has $4,000 feet of
floor space, which has been put
at the disposal of the Show COM
mittee. The main floor will be
filled with exhibits from the vari-
Gus garages and demonstrators OF
the different makes. The basement
will be a refreshment room. The
program is interesting, especially
as 1T is understood that the mer-
chants will make this a day of
bargains at the stores.
The program as at present
planned, contemplates the OPEN
ing of the exhibition Wednesday
evening with a general reception.
There will be a concert by a full
orchestra, which will also furnish
music the following afternoon and
evenings. Thursday and Friday
will be given up to demonstrations
and the floor space will be- given
up to as many individual booths
as is necessary and each of the
many models shown will be ex-
planned by competent representa-
tives. The building will be suit
ably decorated by flags and bunt-
ing, the contract for which has
already been awarded to Frank
j. Wiley of Lyndonville. There
will be a dining hall in the base
ment, where refreshments will be
served at any time. This will be

there was every reason for be-

We still hear echoes of the talk
of a dozen years ago as the work
of raising the Maine goes on.
When 10 first looked as if we
would not finish the work of rails
ing the battleship, the local Span
ish papers in Havana began to
raise the cry that we didn't dare
go on, knowing that the ship was
destroyed by an internal explo-
sion, and that uncovering of
the wreck would prove it SO. Well,
no one in this country will believe
that, and no matter what the rails
ing of the Maine shows, the result
of the sinking of the ship is his
tory and cannot be changed at
this late day.

In Mortified there seems to be
movement on foot to organize
a kind of Board of Trade for the
promotion of the business inter-
ests and prospects. 1t is a fine
thing for any town when the
business men get together and
boost the town. 1t does not SO
much matter what form the asso-
citation takes, but if it amounts to
anything, it must be live or
ganization with the interest of the
town at heart. These Boards of
Trade which organize only to
listen to the fervid eloquence OF
the orators of prosperity and then
die a natural death do not make
a live town. May Mortified have
the good fortune to have a live
and hustling Board of Trade.

Bradford will always have g
kindly feeling for DR.. D. K. Pear
sons of Hinsdale, ILL.,, because there
are still those among us who
were his school friends and who
tell us of dan" Pearsons, before
he was a philanthropist, when he
was barefoot philosopher getting
all the fun there was out of liv-
ing. DR.. Pearsons with his latest
gifts, which he calls debts, has
given away nearly five million dol
lars, mostly to small colleges.
These gifts have been mostly
made when the recipients have
collected stipulated amounts. On
April 18th DR.. Pearsons will be
ninety-one, and then he will dis
tribute the following amounts -
American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions, 100000; Berea College, Ken
lucky, 100000; Doane College, Ne
braska, $25,OOO; North Land Col
lege, Wisconsin, $4,000; Highland
College, Kansas, $4,000; McKen-
dree College, Illinois, $4,000; 9TH
er smaller gifts, $4,000; and in
his own words:
"I shall celebrate my birthday
by getting out of debt. A year
ago l gave notice that 1 would be
getting old by this time, and that
a young man of my age had no,
business being in debt. 1 shall lie
down on April 14th out of debt
for the first time in many years.
I have had these outstanding
pledges for many years, and have
worked them off as one after an
other of the institutions met their
obligations"
However persons may differ
with the doctor in his ideas of
giving, no one will deny that he
has helped many a boy and girl
to an education by helping the
small colleges.
One evening last week practi-
cally all New England listened to
a talk on "Clean journalism"
which was given under the aus
pices of the Christian Science
churches. Clean journalism is more
important than we sometimes real
ize, because there is too much yell
low mixed into the profession.
Crimes and family infidelities are
too prominently features in jour-
nails which are not of the, true
yellow type, but there is gain
noticeable in this matter, and we
will find that the best Of the pro-
duct will cut further and further
adrift from this class of news.
The publishing of the facts is not
to be decried for publicity keeps
many in the straight way, but the
racy and unnecessary details are
nothing but an injury. The Chris
tan Science Monitor has reached
a high plane in journalism and it
is publishing a great amount of
news of worldwide |
while much which |
other newspapers consider news IS
entirely omitted. The cleaner and |
saner our newspapers become,
the greater their influence for
good government and good NOR
ais will be.

This matter of public play
grounds is coming to take its place
as one of the important problems
of city life and to a lesser degree
of the life of all America. The sec
rotary of the Playground Associ-
alton of America has a word of
wisdom to say in this matter,
which, perhaps, has not been
thought of much. He says that If
the playground is to do it's most
good, it must have an organizer
who understands how to interest
the children in the games. The
public playground is necessary,
equipment is necessary, but more
necessary than all is the organizer
who keeps the children from be-
coming mere noisy, little savages,
but who trains them in the spirit
of sportsmanship and gives them
an idea of the value of co-opera-
ton while they are having the
best of times at play. g.
A chair, a bed, a table and an
oil lamp in two rooms and the
owner of $4,000 dead amid these
surroundings is another sermon
on the uselessness of boarded mo-
ney. Money, as money, is the most
useless of all materials, for it can
not keep one from freezing, it
cannot be eaten, it cannot shelf
er one. Its usefulness is wholly in
what it can be exchanged for
then it becomes a tremendous
force for good or evil, happiness
or sorrow. But one may be pow
erty stricken with $4,000.

MORE AMENDMENTS TO THE CHARTER.

Mayor Lachmund proposes several amendments to the city
charter to be submitted to the city council and the December
election to the people,
One of these to make the Chief of Police appontive by
the Mayor instead of elective by the people
The other proposition he offers is to abolish the office Of
Street Commissioner and consolidate the Craftsmanship of the
committees Streets and bridges in member of
the city council a salary of $500 $4,000 year.
Mayor Lachmund also proposes that issues of bonds be
made possible by majority vote instead of twohrds, and
a forty thousand dollar issue of bonds for bridges
great many people favor the Des Moines plan of making
all nominations for city offices nonparan and at the direct
primary when there number of apirants putting those
two receiving the highest number Of votes at the primary
the ballot at the regular election.
This gives the people greater choice of candidates and
forces majority to express themselves and prevents cand
dates running in by hrewd manipulation without opposition
Still better would be the combined Des Mones and Tacoma
plan by which any canddate.who receives majority of all
votes the primary election declared elected and there
is no further expense for holding another election.
The people jealous of losing the benefits of the direct
primary and the Des Moe and Tacoma plans safeguard the
direct primary and the expense of another election the
people see fit to decide at the first election
If candidate has a majority at the primary the two
highest candidates placed the ballot at the regular cleo
ton a month later
Another important amendment that should be in the inter
ess of labor the limitation of contractors employing bona
fde residents of the city preference to other labor city
work.
The construction of sewers Streets bridges and all munich
pal work should be done by home aboers and not by Greeks
Italians and other labor brought here temporarily
AS long as there is competent unemployed aborer
teams in this city that belongs here why should not such labor
be given the preference?
Such amendment and the amendment for nonpartisan
primary would something to the and citizens and
should be put into the charter at the coming election.
