We believe this attitude and action
will also commend themselves to the
people CT the whole state regardless
OF individual preferences.
In the selection Of locations for the
state conventions the committee also
used good judgment. The hrst State
convention. that TO elect delegates to
the national convention at Chicago. Is
to be held in Montpelier on April 10.
while the Juno convention for the

Will be held In Burlington. probably

HARD WORK As AN ANTIDOTE FOR
LAWBREAKING,

The FREE PRESS has spoken on
different occasions Of the crime wave
which has been sweeping over Vermont
as well as Of the disposition OF n certain
class Of individuals to secure commit
mcnt to jail during the cold period in
order to secure a comforta bile place and
enough to eat at the expense of the
taxpayers.
The almost complete inactivity Of both
classes, the vicious and the professional
gentlemen OF leisure, appear to have sud
denly ceased the plying of their respec tive
trades in Burlington for n considerable
period. and curiosity naturally suggests
search for the cause Of this sociological
and archaeological phenomenon
An investigation of the records shows
that during the first fifteen days OF
February only three cases were entered
In tho city court of Burlington. whereas
In years gone by ten times that numbe
and more have teen entered In a single
half month OF these three cases, one
WIS case OF t'uancy resulting In a

! gcnnes. and two were for lntoxica ton
one OF the respondents hailing from Bur.
lington and the other from Waterbury.
1t is not improbable that this gratifying
situation Is to be ascribed In no SINAI
degree TO the fact that Judge C. s. Palmer
has instituted n policy calculated to land
offenders In place where they will work
instead OF toafing In Jail at the expense

JUDGE FRANK l.. FISH.

In the appointment of Hon. Frank l..
lamented Judge A. A. Hall Of st. Adams
Governor Mead has reached Il satisfactory
solution of a somewhat perplexing ques-
ton. The difficulty confronting the
governor was not to find a man well
qualified for the position but to make
a selection from the many strong men
available for the position OF superior
court Judge.
The selection of any one Of the well
known lawyers on the east side Of the
State would have put five Judges presiding
in that district and left Judge Butler OF
Rutland alone to represent the first dis.
trict Chittenden county already had
Judge Seneca Haselton on the supreme
bench. as Bennington county has Judge
Lovelnnd Munson. Addison county had
not had n State judge for thirty years
or since the death in 1882 of Chief Judge
John P1erpoint Of the supreme court whc
also hailed from Vergennes. and who was
member of the Legislature when elected
to the bench in 1857.
Judge Fish. who was born in Newfane
Windham county. and who is therefore
| supposed to have gained the seal o.
| destiny by passing through Brnttleboro,
has had a varied public experience. HI
| has served as States attorney for Addison
county, national bank examiner. rep
resentative in the Legislature, presiden
| of the Vermont Fish and Game League
beside holding various positions OF trus
and honor in the city Of Vergennes.
Judge Fish has a host OF warm friend
and admirers throughout the State VIII,
will congratulate him upon this hand
some recognition Of his ability as law
yer as we'll as his worth as man and a
a citizen.

THE STATE COMMTT'TEES GOOD
WORK.

In these days OF frenzied factional
Ism and rancorous vituperation IN the
ranks of all political parties. the state
republican committee Of Vermont fur
nished an example of sane. temperate
and tolerant consideration of men and
measures that should commend itself
generally and serve ~ an example for
republicans In particular everywhere
throughout the country.
IT was not to be expected that four
teen leading republicans from the diff
ferent counties In the State would
agree upon every proposition present
ed for the consideration Of the COM
mittee. or that all opinions would
coincide as regards the best course to
pursue In relation to the various prob
lens discussed. A little difference of
opinion may be helpful at times. But
while the members OF the committee
night favor this candidate or that for
various State ONCE. the body did not
allow personal preferences to swerve
them from that dispassionate attitude
which has long characterized the state

THE AINSWORTH INCIDENT CLOSED

THE AINSWOHTH INCIDENT CLOSED
The fact that Gen Frederick c. AIMS
worth is a native OF Vermont, who has
been in close relation with some Of the
military men of the Green Mountain
State. has lent additional interest for
iHtration in relieving him from his
duties as acknowledgement OF the army.
At the same time there is no disposi-
ton in this quarter to relieve him
from any penalty that may have been
incurred or deserved as a result Of In
sub ordination. In point OF fact 1t will
be recalled that we intimAted a num-
Der OF weeks ago that General Aims
worth was pursuing a questionable
course in relation to his superiors. II
not endangering the best interest of
Uncle Sans military arm.
It Is impossible to maintain discip-
line where there is pickering among
heads of departments and subordi-
mates. and discipline is absolutely es-
sential to the best working Of any or
eanization. particularly a military de-
partment.
The fact that General Ainsworth has
asked to be placed on the retired lis,
aftor thirty years of service and
that this request has been compiled
closes an untoward incident that prom
ised to have embarrassing features
especially for General Ainsworth.
