PEACE IN MEXICO
Armistice for Five Days Has Been
Signed

FL Paso, Texas, April 23.-An arm
istice of FIVE days, beginning at noon
today and affecting the district be-
tween Juarez and Chihuahua and west
of the latter city, was made effective
today in an exchange of identical let
tiers signed by Gen. Francisco |. Ma
dero for the rebels and Gen. Juan Ma
varro for the government.
The truce provides that there shall
be no movement of troops of either
side during the next few days, and
that provisions and medicines may be
brought to either camp from the Am
erican side without payment of duty.
Ojinga, where a small federal force
is besieged. is not covered in the arm
istice, the insurreeto activities in that
district being largely independent. 1t
is expected that in the event of the
settlement of the REBELLION in Chihua-
hua, the situation at Ojinga and other
scattered places throughout the re-
public will receive attention. The
moral effect of the cessation of hos
tilities in Chihuahua is regarded as
certain to make settlements in other
parts. of the country simple.
Actual peace negotiations preceded
the armistice. 1t was, of course,
known that a truce was agreeable to
Madero, and telegram from the City
of Mexico informed General Madero
that General Navarro had been in
structed by President Diaz to enter in
to the pact

To Gov. Mead, Congratulations

II not too late, the Times hereby
tenders congratulations TO Governor
Mead on having reached his three
score years and ten yesterday. He
has come to that Biblical perfect age
in vigor, giving promise of many
years of activity in public and private
life. Not only is he holding the high
est elective Office in Vermont but he
is driving his business as the head
of the Howe Scale company of Rut-
land, with the energy of much
younger man so that the business of
the company is enlarging rapidly In
fact Governor Mead, like great
many other men of the present day,
is discounting the Biblical allusion to
the three score years and ten as the
time when one might sit down and
wait, his life work completed May
Vermonts seth governor continue for
long time TO show the sturdy ac-
tivity which now characterizes his
daily program.-Barre Times.

Fourth d. of July will have a double

Through this space the lines of
traffic have endured from the most re-

Canada. Indian raiders traverse both
the White and Connecticut rivers and
their captives dragged their weary
feet through the town and camped on
the shores OF its waters. Through
this town went many Of the settlers

The recent action in both Seattle
and Tacoma in recalling their mayors
and other officers through the new
machinery provided in the state of
Washington for getting rid of officials
who do not give satisfaction is attrac-
ting renewed attention to this modern
attribute of representative govern
ment. In this connection the propos-
ed recall of judges as we'll as other
officials in one OF the new states has
added to the interest of the controver-
sy. At first thought this recall plan
looks like radical departure in pop
ular government but 1t has in actual
practice been in practical effect in
New England for three hundred years.
Under the old New England town
meeting form of government if Off
ials didn't make good they were turn
ed out. In state and other elections
the terms of office were made short
enough so as to have practically the
same effect Everywhere west Of
New England terms of Office were
longer and the best form of local gov
eminent in the world, the New Eng
land town meeting was unknown.
Even in New England there has been
a tendency to increase the length of
terms of Office of mayors and city
officials and judges, This lengthening
of terms has been with the best of in
tent and works Wen when competent
men are elected to office but i'll when
dishonest and dangerous men get pla-
ces. Therefore the need of the recall,
which is, in effect, that the voters who
elect a man to Office can at any time
vote him out and put a new man in
his place. In these days when so
many selfish interests are struggling
for advantage and to control men who
have the handling of public power
the recall is more and more impor-
tant and should be adopted in all
states, though here in Vermont there
is probably less need than in any
other state for even our judges here
are elected only for two year terms
and the longest term of office in the
state that we recollect is only three
years and that in connection with
town and village boards where a part
of the board changes each year The
recall appears to have come to stay
in this country and even If not used
very often it might be salutary
thing to have on hand as preventive
of carelessness and worse in public
places.

Failure to Soak Wheat.

This county has lost thousands
of dollars this year by the fail
ure of wheat growers to soak
their seed wheat in bluestone
water. Every farmer who ne
elects to do this invites smut in
his wheat and smutty wheat
brings a low price and is not
much wanted at any price. There
has been a great deal of smutty
wheat in the county this year,
but wherever a farmer took the
trouble to soak his seed wheat in
bluestone water his crop was
free from smut and on the mar
ket was worth from Is to 20
cents bushel more than smutty
wheat. The precaution is sim
pie and cheap and we wonder
that farmers neglect it. Clinton

Pres. Brownen.

Mr.. H. G. Brownell, president
of Bethel Female College at
Hopkinsville, was in the city last
Wednesday in the interest of the
college. There has been a feel
ing in western Kentucky for
many years that really good COL
lege work for girls could be
found no nearer to US than the
Blue Grass section or in Tennes-
see; but we are now assured that
there is no where in this state a
woman's college of higher stand
ing or character, than this school.
Great changes have been made
during the past two years in
building eQuipm ent and curricula
and these changes have had the
effect of increasing the attend
ance to such a number, that for
the first time in its long history
the enrolment for next year ex-
ceeds the capacity of the build
ing. One of the largest resi-
dences in Hopkinsville has been
secured for the overflow, and
drawings are now being prepared
for a new dormitory and gymna-
stun.
Especially attractive courses
have been prepared for High
School graduates, who will find
there, three years work in stand
ard college subjects. 1t is graf
flying to know that we have so
near to us an inexpensive school
doing standard work, where our
daughters will get home treat
ment under careful discipline,
and where they may realize all
of those college experiences that
are so dear to those who have
had them and so longed for by
those who have no hope of
knowing them.
