interest must expect certain measure
of criticism; at least, he should not
consider that he is above and beyond
criticism. What is more, he should well
come honest criticism, in order that he
may be guided by the wishes OF the
people who are the sovereigns under our
form of government.
In the case of certain Legislators at
Montpelier, there seems TO be a DISPOSE
ton to resent some of the statements
made regarding them by the public press
and to consider the criticism as unwar-
ranted 1t is the opinion OF this news
paper that some of its esteemed eontem-
poraries have gone too far, have been
too severe in their denunciation of the
acts Of the present Legislators. Never
the less, the Republican newspapers of
the state have right to object to the
party duplicity when goes to the polls
with certain well.defined promises only
to ignore those promises almost in their
entirety after securing the votes and
when the opportunity comes for putting
the promises into effect. Party promises
are nothing but delusions and snares for
voters in Vermont. Between promise
and realization there is yawning chasm.
Till legislators carry out to the best
Of their ability the promises in the ruling
party's platform, they are open to criti-
csm.

It is high time that the Vermont
House were cutting off the privilege OF
introducing bills. The total number is
now nearly seven hundred, and the book
file is already full Of useless paper
The limit should have been reached long
before this; and the members who had
failed to have their measures presented
by that time should have been made to
explain matters to their constituents as
best they might. Perhaps the failure to
get bills before the legislature would
have served as a warning to future legis
lators who are disposed to procrastinate
and thus steal the states time.

With the single exception of Berlin,
N. H., not single city in Maine or New
Hampshire went ahead in the percentage
of population increase during the past
ten years; and Berlin headed Barre by
a margin of five points. The population
statistics of those two states reveal a
great similarity to the figures given out
for Vermont some time ago, in that rural
sections of the states decreased in popu-
lation, while the gain was confined to
the larger centers of population. The
great strides of Berlin in the neighboring
state were due to the development of the
paper-making industry.

The office of "city chamberlain" seems
to be an appendage of no great value
to the municipality in New York; at
least, the city has been getting along
without Mr.. Hyde, who holds that job
for $4,000 per year. Perhaps, instead
of reducing courses of instruction in the
public schools, the city will now lop
off such offices as that of chamberlain"
and more.

Louis, where Mr.. Lamb had many CONNER
cial and financial interests. While IN that
