 No such complete simplifcation is possible by legislation in this state without constitutional amendment Rut much can be done. So far as the state officers are concerned, a declara- ton Of policy by the legislature by the democratic majority and by as many republicans as would join in it- would influence the constitutional changes that must soon be made
 The cities, towns, and villages are completely. and the counties largely, within the direct jurisdiction Of the legislature. In these important work can be done. It would be foolish, Of course, to enact sweeping changes, but the principle of simplification could with entire safety be applied in many cases of minor offices; experi, ments could be authorized in some more important cases, and provision could be made for a thorough inquiry with an authoritative report The needful thing is that the majority in the legislature, under the guidance and with the cordial support of the governor, should commit the party clearly to the ground principle of sim. plifying elections and thus cohferring real freedom and power upon Irhe voters. That is the plain path to gen. uine and effective, sound and pro gressive, democracy. If this princi- pie can be applied, the voters can deal intelligently and practically with any measures that may be proposed 10 them. Without this they are miser. ably and needlessIy crippled.

THE AUTOMOBILE AS A DEADLY
 WEAPON"
iAuensta Chroniclel


 In Illinois the automobile. by court decision, is put down as 8 deadly weapon. The ruling-the necessity for such a ruling-is quite unique r. seems that Chicago has a law which exacts that an automobile driver must stop within ten feet of a station ary car.
 The other day a motoreyclist failed 10 obey this law. As he whisked past standing street car he knocked over a ten-year old boy, hurting him seriously.
 The punishment for the law viola ton was a fine When the case came to trial, the judge did not regard the maximum fine that could be levied as fair punishment-no sufficient pun ishment. ThereuDon. his honor ruled that the motor cycle was a deadly weapon, adjudged the rider guilty un- der state law of assault with dead ly weapon and sent him for thirty days on the rock pile Tho case IS likely to be appealed. Meantime, the culprtt is wearing bah and chain.

CONSTRUCTIVE WORK.

A decision of the supreme court of Ohio confirming the judgment of the trial court in the cases Of Isaac E. Huffman and Luke Andrews, state senators convicted of bribery, finally disposes Of the culprits, each of whom will go to the penitentiary for three years and nine months. It is always very dinicult. and too frequently i'm possible, to convlct politicians of brib- ery. That bribes are given at every session Of a majority Of legislatures is a matter of common knowledge among persons who are in touch with law making, although there is prob ably good deal less Of it nowadays than there was fifty or even twenty, years ago. But while it is easy enough to ascertain that bribery is being rractieed it is difficult to procure evil dence that will be at once competent and convincing in a court of law.
 The effort of the state of Ohio 10 punish the two crooked state senators has been watched with interest by the people of other states. It will clar- fly the atmosphere at Columbus, and it provides an example for other states

eRowNlNe's GREATNESS

Subject Matter He Handles.

Much of Brownings obscurity,
harshness and uncouthness falls i'm
mediately into its proper place is,
indeed, necessary, as he believed
that evil was a necessity in the pro
gress Of the world
The proof of his true greatness,
not as a philosopher, thinker, psyche
logist, but as a poet, lies in the
simple fact that when the subject
matter he handles is beautiful or
sublime, his style is usually adequate
to the situation.
"The Ring and the Book for eX-
ample, must be taken as a whole. 1t
is full Of exquisite beauty, amazing
felicity Of expression, fluent rhythm
and melody; full also of crudities,
jolts, harshness, pedantry, wretched
these contrasts Because it Is a
study Of human testimony. The law

pedants because they were tiresome,
conceited pedants; Pompiia speaks
like spiritual woman in love with
Caponsacchi, which was exactly her
nature and her state of mind Guido

smiling irony, and later RACES like a
wild beast caught in spring-trap.
In each instance the language of the
poet is we'll adapted to the subject

Why Savings Banks are Essential

Because people having money to in
vest are often tempted by designing
persons to go into schemes which,
while promising large returns. usually
bring disaster.
Probably there are no more shrewd
far.sighted, conservative investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men-men who
make the study Of investments their
life work; who pass upon all applica-
tions for loans and investments; and
1t is a fact which anyone can verify
by getting the insurance companies
reports. that four to five per cent
interest is all these companies are
able to make their loans average.
Those schemers who would go to
unsophisticated women or inexper.
fenced men and tell them that they
could just as well get six per cent,
as four we'll know that II their
schemes were solid, substantial and
safe, they could borrow money by
the million from these life insurance
companies.
The Lamoille County Savings bank
and Trust company of Hyde Park
never takes note paying over six
per cent.
II any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six
per cent, II turns II down, because
Il wants no better evidence that II is
dangerous than the fact that II offers
to pay more than six per cent
What is the result?
In its more than twenty.three years
OF existence this bank has never lost
dollar by q poor note.
Safety rather than high rates OF in
terest' is its motto. and, knowing
this, depositors, not only from Yer.
mont, but from every state In the
Union Except threel select the Hyde

their savings.
You can send your funds there by
mail with absolute safety, and II is
perfectly safe to send them either In

During the entire existence OF the
Hyde Park bank, not a dollar sent
