There are plenty of men in the liberal
party who are looking forward to the
outcome of Lloyd Geor%e's land inquiry
committee with not little anxiety. Peo-
pie often talk as il all the landowners.
big and small. are on the other side.
OF course, that is a mistake. A genera
ton ago the Russelis. the Cavendshes,
the Portmans and Leveson-Gowers and
many other families of the historic land
ed aristocracy were quite good liberals.
Then came the home rule split.
Since II reached the haven Of office in
December 1905. liberalism has shed few
more of it's historic supporters. but even
down to the present hour 1t has retained
a good many of its lords of broad acres.
One of its supporters is Lord Breadal-
bane. the keeper of the privy seal of
Scotland. He Is the owner of about
500. 900 acres, mainly in Perthshire. Lord
Clifton, a so a liberia. owns about u,''00
acres mostly in Cornwall and Cambridge
shire His son and heir is the liberal
member for the st. Austell division or
Cornwall.

then, are the fourteen great mistakes;
Tt is a great mistake TO set up your

To expect uniformity of opinion in

To look for judgment and experience
in youth.
To endeavor TO mold all dispositions

To yield 20 immaterial tribes.
To look for perfection in our own ac-
tions.
To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot b. remedied.
Not 20 alleviate all that needs ale

LITTLE DANGER OF FURTHER
SPREAD OF SMALLPOX
So Says DR.. Holton of State Board of
Health--Business Intercourse
With Other Towns
Not Prohibited.

The danger of any further spread of
smallpox in Barre is passed There may
be isolated cases, but from now on the
number of cases viii decrease Dr. Hem
ry ID. Holton, secretary of the state
board OF health, said yesterday: "There
is very little danger of its spreading" :"
This is due in large measure to the
energetic measures to stamp ii out taken
from the start and continued until the
present time, and which will be con-
tinued until the state board of health
believes it safe to relax.
The past twenty-four hours has de-
veloped no new cases, or suspicious
cases.
In response to query to him as to
the present situation in Barre, and re-
garding business intercourse with other
towns, DIR, Fl. d. Holton of the state
board yesterday sent the following tele-
gram to City Attorney e. L. Scott;
Rutland, Oct 25, 1912.
"Hon f. L. Scott, Barre:
"The situation regarding smallpox Tin
Barrel has not reached the point where
the present regulations can be safely
changed. There is nothing in them that
was intended to interfere with doing
business with any adjoining town under
these regulations. There is very little
danger of its spreading.
