FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and Publ
BENNINGTON, VT, JULY 7. 1911

The town clerk of this town has
received a communication from Ben
nett & Graves, attorneys-at-law in
Bennington, representing the assist
ant judges of this county, calling on
the town clerk to yacate his rooms
in the court house in the town of
Manchester, Can it be possible that,
failing in their endeavors to get
new court house and Jail at Ben
nington from the voters of this coun-
ty, an attempt is to be made to
con6scate the property of the resi-
dents of the town of Manchester.
Those people who are back of this
move should put their energies and
talents to better use What spec
ial reason for this action there is
remains to be seen.-Manchester
Journal.
The Journal should look up the
facts of the case before 1t casts any
insinuations. This is purely north
shire matter. An Office is wanted for
the probate judge of the Manchester
district and the assistant judges
claim the right to have the room in
the county courthouse now occupied
by the Manchester town clerk. The
side judges are trying to get the room
for Judge Griffith of the north shire
to save hiring another place at the
expense Of the county. That is all
there is to 1t and its attempt to stir
up county feeling over the matter is
unworthy of the Journal.

PEPYS, THE DIARIST.
Pronouneing the Name Of the carru-

Lovers Of Pepys often dispute over
the correct pronunciation of his name
The form Peeps is the one that has
chief authority on its side, and it Is
according to analogy in other like
spellings, such as Wemyss, pronounced
Weems. Peeps still holds good at
Cambridge and dates from its bearers

representatives OF Samuers sister, tue
Pepys Cockerell family, who are heirs
to his fame and some Of his property
The late Rev. j w. Ellsworth, an In
defatlgable collector and editor Of bal.
lads, adopts this pronunciation In hts
pleasing stanzas on "a Gossip at Dept
ford"
ror instance:
The state has no servant OF all whom she
keeps
Like my SQUAD little friend, who no la.
Dor does shirk.

A disturbing element In the discus
sion is that the branch Of the family
represented by the Earl OF Cottenham
pronounce the name Peppis.
No bearer Of the name has ever been
known as Pops, though Ashby Sterry.

In the present age of alleged civili-
cation bushes, except that relating
to food supply and public health,
ought to suspend during a spell of
weather like that which has prevailed
during the past five days. Necessity
ought not to compel and greed ought
not to insist on work during such
weather except at the absolute mini
mum. The weather alone is strain
enough upon the human system with
out the added burden of labor.

mated that gas would cost us S.15 per

about break even on a three-year contract.
II we can land 81 gas we can make little

The five years Of struggle and conflict
taught the men engaged in that war, on
both sides. confidence in themselves. that
at IT'S conclusion they were ready to take
hold Of any problem. II was the neces-

building Of the Union Pacific railroad and
II was the officers and soldiers OF the civil
war who did that work I'm three years
when they had ten years given them for It,
Its completion was the loadstone which
drew every other railroad in this latitude
to this center and while all the roads were
built in advance OF settlement and the nee
essity OF the country still they drew a
population to the undeveloped countries
west OF the lakes and as they explored and
cultivated these vast plains from Canada
TO the gulf they yielded mineral and agri-
cultural products far beyond the expecta-
