A recent press dispatch from Wash
ington, which was printed in The Mes
senger among other newspapers said
that, some Of the Republican senators
who are not enthusiastic over the bill
for publicity of campaign expenses be-
fore elections have set deadfall for
the Democrats who will urge it," etc
1t then went on with details, in the
course Of which it said, Senator w. r.
Dillingham; of Vermont, chairman Of
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions, is understood to regard the plan
as unwieldy so far as il affects the
publication before elections
In the course of letter to the edi-
tor of The Messenger, Senator Dill
bingham refers to this dispatch and
says, ''Inasmuch as I have had no
conversation with any newspaper man
regarding the matter, and particularly
as it has not been taken up by the
committee on privileges and elections,
it goes without saying that the
statements are entirely unwarranted. "
1t is needless to say, Senator Dill
bingham is entitled to the amplest pub
licity for this personal explanation,
and, inasmuch as The Messenger was
one of the publishers Of the dispatch
and referred to it editorially, it gladly
does its part toward giving currency
TO his words.--St Adams Messenger.

ing practical and theoretical instruction
to Vermont boys who have neither the
money nor inclination to pursue an ex-
tensive college course The agricultural
department is strictly farmers school
and it aims to educate students along
the various lines of work that will be
met with on the farm and in the home
life. Ii is not intended TO iit students
for college, but to furnish line OF train
ing that will be of immediate use in
farming and its allied industries, like
carpentry, blacksmithing, masonry, and
concrete work, preparing the students
not only to do farm work intelligent
~, but also to do for themselves prac-
tically all the other work in connection
with the farm, such as the repairing Of
buildings from basement to roof and the
repairing of wagons and machinery; IN
general way making them independ-
ent of any outside skilled labor and also
putting them in position to assist
their neighbors whenever spare time may
permit.
An especial effort is being made by
the institution to reach class of boys
financially unable to go away to school
but who are willing to work their way
through such an institution and it offers
limited number of scholarships to en-
able such boys TO have as good an edu-
cation as those enjoying better tinan-
cial advantages. Anyone who wishes to
aid such boys in getting practical
education should send to Director A r.
Merrill and get catalog which will give
the desired information. Johnsbury

The bounds of spring are on winter:

ready to tackle the Job again.
HopeweIl shook its head in doubt
ing way, but did not talk much. Abe
Singer was coming to the front and
becoming a hero. He had also moved
from shanty into a cottage and was
living ON the top shelf As matter OF
fact, he did finish the well and thereby
made himself solid with all who might
have otherwise criticised. Neverthe
less the town constable felt that be had
duty TO perform. He went TO Abe
and said:
you went to your death in the river
and returned. You went TO your death
In the well and returned. Don't try
the little game again. II you do ]
don't believe the town win raise an
other dollar for your widow"
The summer had departed and late
autumn had come. Abe hadn't tired
himself out looking for any more jobs,
but was now offered the position Of
night Waterman Of the village 1t was
a cold Job and poor pay, and no one
wanted il until he stepped forward.
Not a robbery had ever been commit
ted iu the village, but there were tax
payers who thought II best to guard
against such things happening. When
the constable heard Of the appoint

night at midnight there were yeils

killed him and borne his body away

count at the village bank and put on
mourning. Another two weeks and
the cat came back. Abe walked in to
say that he had discovered three yegg-
men about to break into the postohice
and when he had fired ON them they
had seized and chloroformed him and
borne him away liz buggy. For
twelve days he had known nothing,
but now he had come back to take

prompt reply. And it was raised In

"oURS is THE REMEDY"
Says Contemporary In Discussing
Rossiter Article.


The Landmark is inclined to question
the wisdom of those men and news
papers that seek to belittle and to ques-
tion the integrity OF the article written
by Dr. Rossiter, and lately made public
IN Boston and other out OF state publ
ations Dr. Rossiter is a statistician
OF national repute, and in the compila-
tion of the traicle in question it is not
possible that he could have been in
fiueneed by any Interior motive The
conclusions of the article are plainly
apparent to anyone eognizant of oondi-
tiuns as they are In Vermont and who
Is the least bit student Of human
nature A town that Il all the while
declining in population, and from which
practically all its young people depart
as soon as opportunity presents, is
bound to decline in its own material
welfare This is the fact as concerns
very many Vermont towns. Here in
Windsor county are towns containing
hardly third as large population as
they possessed eighty years ago The
young people have gone, the mills that
dotted every little stream are dis.
mantled, the district school house that
teemed with merry childhood, and kept
young the hearts of the aged, is closed
and going TO decay, and the pews of the
churche are empty in each and every
Sunday. The farmers who still re-
main to till the acres cleared by
their fathers have continuous strug-
gle to gain livelihood on these same
acres that to-day have not a third Of
the money value they had four score
years ago Yet, Notwithstanding all
this depreciation and decline these same
farmers are compelled to pay in this
day taxes that are vastly in excess Of
those no more than thirty years ago
For illustration there il one town in
the White River valley which has to-
day population but fraction more
than a third Of what it was eighty
years ago. Ii has no sidewalks, no
water, sewer or street lighting sys-
TENS, no police protection, no nothing
in the shape of public utilities, and it's
public schools are open about thirty
weeks in a year, yet in this fiscal year
its direct town taxes are to be sixteen
dollars on one thousand dollars, and
this in addition to the indirect county
and state taxes saddled upon the peo-
Pile, and all this in little town where
the assessed valuation of the most
pieces Of property is greater than its
market value In any town in New
York, Connecticut, or Massachusetts,,
where the taxes are as high as SIG on
81 900, there win be found all such
public utilities as sidewalks, water,
sewer, street lighting and fire and po-
lice protection.
Vermont is ailing to-day from an
overdose of Office holders, and all that
this fact implies. 1t is idle to deny
this for the most cursory diagnosis of
the case reveals the nature of the

TO DEATH
Evan Lloyd, Engineer of Night Plow.
ing Crew on Major Murphy's Farm
Meets instant Death Tuesday Night
When Engine Turned Turtle In Mud

Evan Lloyd a young man whose
home has been at Burlington several
years, was instantly killed at Major
]. S. Murphy's farm seven miles
west of Minct about eleven o'clock
Tuesday night. when the big gaso.
line traction engine which he was
running made complete back emu
turn, in a pot hole. 1t was three
o'clock the next morning before one
side of the engine was lacked up
sufficiently to allow the workmen to
pull the lifeless body from beneath
the big engine.
Lloyd and Ben Johnson comprised
the night crew that was blowing on
the Murphy farm. The men we're
blowing field a half mile long at one
end of which was pot hole They
had gone around the dangerous place
twice before that night, but the third
time, Lloyd, who was the engineer,
went too near the soft ground sur
rounding the hole and tho engine be-
gan to slide into it. Llyod tried in vain
to pull the engine out and the longer
he worked, the deeper the back end
sank into the mud. He attempted to
back the engine to get good start
and in doing 80, the thing turned
turtle, and before he could get out of
the way, he was crushed beneath tons
of iron. A rod caught his neck beno-
ing his head back onto his shoulder,
and the hot water ran out, scaldinA
him. 1t Is believed, however, that he
died almost instantly. he did not
have time to say a word to his COM
panion, but was heard to moan once
or twice when it was all over.
Johnson gave the alarm at once,
but the body could not be extricated
for hours.
The deceased has relatives at Man.
kato, Mimi, where his remains were
sent today. His father was notified
at once. Judge Murray and Coronor

OF the horrible accident Wednesday
morning, but deemed an inquest I'm.

OF age. He was industrious and we'll
liked by everybody. He was unmarri-
