slb1lity OF the present agitation affect
ing the rights of the defendants on
the state and wisely transferred the
cases to Nelson county. Those cases
should have been tried in January but
Judge Cowan rendered that impos-
sible by his repeated adjournments and
his final abandonment of the January
term after mourning the expense of
grand and petit jury, which cost the
county about a thousand dollars exclu-
sfve of sheriff's fees. But that is not
a new experience of Ramsey county.
OF course, few figure the trial may
result in favor of Judge 'Cowan and
In that event, if the druggist cases
had been transferred to some county
in the district, they might be allowed
to die. Now they are under the juris-
diction Of Judge Buttz. The remarks
of Attorney General Miller about the
law machinery of the County and City
as it was before the appointment of
Judge Buttz might still apply to a
portion of that machinery. A large
number of the peace officers sympa-
thize with the defendants and few
are still active in their interest, be-
sides the local friends feel more at
home around Ramsey County court
house and they might with temerity
use undue influence on the Jury or
witnesses. Il The transfer to- Lakota
eliminates that danger, =. -:

Which has Ever Occurred
Outside of the State.

The annual reception and banquet of
the Vermont Society of New York was
held at the Hotel Manhattan, Saturday

maple sugar, of this years crop, neatly
tied up in boxes fowered with clusters
of clover, the Vermont state flower.
Verses of "Three Cheers for Old Ver-
mont" and other folk songs reminiscent
of the Green Mountain State were sprin-

and helped to bring to mind more vividly
the scenes "among the hills.

New York Capital Partially De.
Stroyed

A fire started early Wednesday morn
ing in the New York state capitol at
Albany which partially destroyed the
magnificent structure and consumed
over 100000 volumes of books in the
state librarians department. The
whole western end of the building was
gutted and the loss is estimated at be-
tween S5,0O0,000 and 5000, 600. The
fire was discovered about 2:30 O'Clock
in the morning by several newspape r
men and one of the night employees of
the capitol. The fire is supposed to have
originated through some defects in the
electrical switches. 1t was discovered
in the library and spread with great
rapidity, destroying its priceless 900, =
600 volumes of books. There was no
insurance on either building or contents.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
MiddIebury Votes to Erect New
Building Not to Exceed
$4,000,

The adjourned meeting of School
District No. q, was held in the town
hall on Tuesday evening. The meeting
was called to order by Judge John
E. Weeks, moderator. About 200
citizens were present as were a
number of ladies. Attorney j. B. DON
oway moved that the vote taken at the
February meeting to build a new school
house be reopened. Col. S. A. Illsley
offered an amendment to erect the new
school building on the site recommended
by the prudential committee and at a
cost not to exceed S35, 900, which was
adopted. Attorney Donoway said that
the vote taken at the February meeting
was illegal on the ground that it was a
viva-voce vote and not by ballot.
Judge c. l. Button argued that the
vote was legal one. and after some
discussion on both sides Judge Weeks
declared Mr.. Donoway out of order.
Mr.. Donoway appealed to the house
from the decision of the chair and was
of building new school house, averring
that the town was heavily in debt and
that it would add greatly to the taxes.
During the debate it developed that the
Addison County Grammar School as
sociation had agreed to deed to the
school district parcel of land east of
the present HIGH school building for the
site of the new building Remarks
were made by Ira H. LaFleur, Judge
Weeks, Professor Burt, Rev. j. D.
Shannon, Judge Button, DR.. Martin and
President John M. Thomas on the needs
of better school facilities and the con-
gested condition of the present school
building. The vote was then taken by
ballot and it was decided, 131 to 55, to
build a new high school building. c. E.
Pinney then offered the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, that the Prudential Com
mittee be authorized and empowered to
borrow money not exceeding $40, 900 in
amount, at per cent per annual, pay
able semi annually, and to issue orders
or notes of the District as permitted by
law in such sums and payable at such
time as the Prudential Committee may
deem best; but all Of said orders or
notes not TO exceed the sum of $50, 000
and all payable within twenty-five years
from date.
After the adoption of Mr.. Pinney's
resolution the meeting adjourned.

Marble Company Resumes Work

The Green Mountain Marble company,
successor to the Middlebury, Vermont,
Marble company, composed of Boston
and New York stock holders, resumed
work at its quarry in Fowler Monday
morning with Timothy Conklin of Rut-
land in charge. This quarry has been
closed for over year, and when last
operated by the Middlebury, Vermont
Marble company, it was in charge of
Charles M. Lyman of Rutland. 1t is of
a dark blue stock and is said to be of
the finest quality. 1t is on the vein
northwest of the famous Florentine
blue quarry owned by the Rutland
Florence Marble company at Fowler.

TRENTON's COMMISSION TROUBLES.

N the judgment of the Sunday Advertiser of Trenton, a non
partisan and exceedingly conservative paper in its utterances
"f the more moderate supporters of commission government
land they must constitute a large majority of those who voted for it,
had an opportunity to express their minds at the present moment
they would regard as hasty their action of last summer" The
Advertiser goes on to say that "the feverish eagerness for novelty
which possesses men with a passion for leadership and notorety
swept aside the calm Judgment of the electorate, and we are now
reaping only what we have sown" The commission government in
Trenton is involved in all kinds of difficulties and perplexities after
having boosted the tax rate skyhigh. 1t is questionable, indeed, if
the Walsh act is constitutional, and the act is about to be contested
in the courts. While the doubt exists the commission is seriously
handicapped. The Walsh act was also passed in utter disregard of
the civil service law, which ties the hands of the commission and
makes hopeless complications. But Trenton chose to be an object
lesson in the matter of commission government and, as the Adver.
tier coolly observes, "she must take her medicine"

Newark. Best Boost Is Canal.

Ncwark's Best Boost II Canal.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Has the proposed ship-canal-to-New-
ark project been abandoned? Not long
ago there was a concerted cry of
Boost Newark" What would boost
Newark more than tho completion OF
this canal, which would enable ships
from all over the world to discharge
passengers and cargoes at this city.
Many cities in the United States are
noted for the production of some Ger
tain article; for instance, Troy for
the making of collars, cuffs and shirts;
Milwaukee for it's large and excellent
output of beer; Minneapolis Is known
as the iiour city, but anything from a
pin to a trolley car Is sent from here
with the stamp Made in Newark on
it. Think what this canal would meal
to the business interests of Newark.
The meadow land below the city would
be reclaimed and built up and the
city would in a few years become me
of the chief industrial seaports of the
world. In 1915 Newark will celebrate
its 250th anniversary. If the canal
could not be finished before then why
not have 1t fairly started? This. city
at the time of the celebration should
have some monster boost to show to
outsiders. d. NJ. WHITNEY.

SHALL SUCH THINGS LONG ENDURE?

II N our postal service rs well as in the business of the express COM
panies the American citizen is Disseminated against in favor
of the foreigner. No other public service in the world is
organized on such a plan. Governments in Europe and Asia look
first to the interests of their own population. We have parcespost
treaties with various countries that have parcels post systems. We
receive eleven pound parcels from European countries and parcels
of the same weight can be sent to these countries at the small
foreign rate. The American express companies take foreign parcels
in New York and transport them as far as San Francisco for twenty
four cents per eleven pounds. The American citizen who sends a
parcel of the same weight to San Francisco is charged S165, or $141
more than the foreigner. If the American citizen desires to send
eleven pounds by post he must divide it into three parcels and the
cost will be $176. If the Newark citizen sends a fourpound package
through the mails to Elizabeth or Orange he must pay sixtyfour
cents, or forty cents more than the foreigner pays to send an eleven.
pound package from New York to San Francisco. This outrageous
discrimination by the American government in favor of the foreigner
and against the American people is practsed to give the parasite
express companies the enormous profits they divide every year.
Shall such things long endure?

THE SOCIALIST VOTE IN 1912.
X Az HILE the Socialist vote in the last election exc
WV Socialist vote polled in 1910, it cid not reach

HILE the Socialist vote in the last election exceeded the
WV Socialist vote poned in 1910, it cid not reach a figure to
justify the first apprehensions of the old party leaders.
1t amounted to enough to elect a candidate here and there. and,
in this State, to give the Socialists primary privileges in certain
counties, but in the election of candidates it was plain that not
Socialist doctrine but other and purely local causes operated. In
the presidential election next year the Socialist party will poll only
the vote that is undoubtedly Socialistic. The greater national issues
will swallow up local and State questions. The voter in a town who
last November supported a Socialist candidate for a local office
simply because he was a good and capable man preferable personally
to his opponents will next year vote his own party ticket or the
ticket of the opposite party if his views are opposed to his own
party candidacy. If the vote in the presidential election is close the
Socialist vote may decide it by drawing more largely from one of
the great parties than from the other. But voters will not be in
clined to vote in the air in 1912, and it is not improbable that many
Socialists will give their votes to either the Republican or Demo
cratic candidate for the sake of the success of certain principles
they believe in.
