A meeting was scheduled between

That was the first setback. and the
meeting was postponed till later

Some idea OF what the next showing
on the chart OF the cluster lights
would be was gained from Supt. John

BISMARK. N. D.. March 19.-Cold
and stormy weather which prevailed
in the western part of the state today
resulted in a lighter vote in the presi-
Dental preference primary than was
expected. The weather is believed to
have favored Senator La Toilette.
Roosevelt's strength was conceded to
be in the farming communities. and
La Toilette in the cities. La Follette's
recent speaking tours through the cit
les of the state strengthened his cause
greatly and politicians today said he
had better than fighting chance to

Theodore Roosevelt's letter to his
West Virginia friends is a fair, hon.
est and straightforward statement.
It will be distorted by his enemies
and political opponents and the in
terest controlled newspapers and
corporation lawyers will continue
to lie about him the same as they
have been doing for the past few
years. He does not want the NOM
ination, will not enter into any in
trigue to get it, and would prefer II
have it go to somebody else. At the
same time if the rank and file of
the people show Enthusiastically that
they want him he will not refuse. 1t
is the stand of a patriot and
statesman and worthy of Roosevelt
There is no reason why this stand
should arouse any bitterness or
hard feeling. Mr.. Taft is a man of
personally high character and IL
generally loved and esteemed, but
many of us believe that his service
as president has not been satisfact-
DRY. We believe that his mistakes
have made 1t practically certain that
as a candidate this year he will be
defeated. We admit that the rank
and file of the democrats are Just
as honest and just as sincere as the
rank and file of the republicans, but
some of their doctrines, such as tar
if for revenue only and guarantee
of BANKED eposftsSare dangerous. More
than that the democratic party in
congress is in control of the south
which is willing to sacrifice north
ern manufacturing and agricultur-
al interests in order to carry out
southern theories. Under these cir
cumstances we want a republican
candidate who stands a better show
of winning than Mr.. Taft. Mr..
Roosevelt would in our opinion be
such a candidate. Through his i'm
pulsiveness he makes some mistakL
es, but fewer than most men. He
is fearless, broad and honest and
the people believe in him. Neither
La Toilette nor Cummins has shown
any particular strength. The race
is between Taft and Roosevelt. Yer
mont will have eight delegates in
the convention. Eet us try to in
dictate to them, without bitterness or
hard feeling, the sentiment of the
state. We can have no presidential
primary, but it can be done with
fair degree of certainty through the
caucus system and it is the duty of

Overseer Of the Poor Departs

On the day before his accounts
were to be audited by the village
auditors, Horace Fenton, who has
been overseer of the poor for the
town of Wallingford for the last
two years, suddenly left for parts
unknown, taking with him, it is
said, about $500 in cash. The mo-
tive for his actions is not known.
He was a man of good habits and
strictly temperate. He has a wife
and three children, and IL is rumor-
ed that family troubles figured in
this latest move. Mr.. Fenton be-
sides having charge of the unfortu-
nate of the town worked as a sec
ton hand for the Rutland railroad.
On Feb.5, he was missed from his
home and since then nothing has
been heard from him. From Rut-
land trace of him is lost, with the
exception of a money order for $50
which was received by his wife, Feb.
z mailed from Albany. 1t issupposed
by the town authorities that Mr..
Fenton had with him about $500 in
cash. A large part of this was OBJ
tanned by the cashing of two checks
made out by the Boston Dairy
company of Boston. The farm milk
is sold to this concern, but for the
last three or four months the pay
ments have been held up. Recently
they were received in full, and these
checks, amounting to over 5000,
were cashed by Mr.. Fenton. He is
about 35 years old.

the bullet was detected when It
struck a rib. He was removed to

he would make no explanation of his
attempted suicide.

of correction during the biennial
term Of 1sOS-10 for each county and
found what proportion of the resi-
dents OF the county were committed
to these institutions during that
time. The results follow.
In Addison county there were
twelve commitments or one to every
.667 of the inhabitants: Benning-
ton county, fourteen commitments,
or one to every 1868 inhabitants;
Caledonia county, three commit
ments or one to every s,677 inhab-
itants; Chittenden county. ninety
nine commitments or one to every
429 inhabitants; Essex county, sew
en- commitments or one to every IL
O55 inhabitants; Franklin county,
thirty-eight commitments or one to
every 1877 inhabitants; Grand Isle
county, three commitments or one
to every 1854 inhabitants; La
noble county, eight commitments or
one to every 1878 inhabitants;
Orange county, fifteen commitments
or one to every 1,247 inhabitants;
Orleans county, seventeen commit
ments or one to every 1873 inhab-
itants; Rutland county, seventy-one
commitments or one to every 67S
inhabitants; Washington county,
fifty-four commitments or one to
every I'll inhabitants; Windham
county, twenty-eight commitments
or one to every 962 inhabitants;
Windsor county, forty-nine COM
mitments or one to every 6S8 inhab-
itants.
1t will be noted that Caledonia
county has the lowest percentage of
criminals Of any county in the state,
one out of S,677, and Chittenden
county has the highest, one out of
every 429 people. We are unable to
distribute the crimes in the counties
but it will be noted that the larger
counties have the highest percent
age of criminals and the smallest
counties lack much of having the
lowest percentages. The principal
deduction we would draw from these
figures is that no county is entitled
to a holier than thou attitude and
that the high percentage for the
whole state Gone out OF every S5S
calls for serious considera@
ton of the most efficient methods of
improving our conditions.

contributing for the benefit Of the
fisherman who gets his improved
sport free. 1t can hardly be claimed
fair to require hunters to aid fish
ermen in this way.
Experience has demonstrated that
unless we propagate and protect
both fish and game they will soon
become extinct. It has also demon
strated that good fishing and hunt
ing can be maintained by proper
propagation and protection. The
stocking of streams and ponds with
fish and the reproduction of deer are
uncontradictable evidence of these
statements. With the success or
the development of better fishing
and hunting already established the
question arises whether or not we
are doing as well as we might in
this work. If we are spending the
$4,000 or more that the hunters
are contributing annually with good
results to the fish and game inter
ests it would seem as though a Ii
cense fund of $4,000 or more con-
tributed by both hunters and fisher
men might also be used to the
states advantage. Vermont certain
ly has the opportunity to further
improve it's fishing and hunting.
Some of the work that larger
fund would enable the fish and game
department to do would be the es-
Enlistment of field stations for the
production of trout and the distri-
button of them in public waters. The
segregation of large tracts of land
with proper cover for wild game
where hunting is prohibited for a
long term Of years and placed in
charge of a trained game keeper
would furnish wild game an oppor-
tunity to protect itself Out of
these breeding places would come a
continual supply of wild game for
the hunter. The increased fund
might make better compensation
for the really efficient fish and game
wardens possible. The fairness of
requiring the fishermen to contri-
butte their proportion towards the
expense of such work must be adj
mitted.
However, there is opposition to
the imposition of fisherman's
license and these statements are
made in the hope of drawing it out
SO the people may decide whether
they want to impose a fishing Ii
cense or not.

Distribution Of Crime.

Last week we published some fig
nres relating to crime in Vermont,
giving the towns from which con-
victs were supposed to have come.
That statement was not correct as
the towns named were where the
criminals were convicted and not
where the crimes were committed.
In fact the official records of the
penal institutions do not give the
towns where the crimes were COM
mitted but do give the counties. In
order to give a correct impression
about the distribution Of crime we
have found the number OF commit
ments to the state prison and house

1t will be seen that the first year
of license brought an increase of 1877
in number of total arrests, lab in
arrests for intoxication and
$1,16O.72 for care of paupers. The
increase between the only dry year
(19O7) and the following license
year in total number of arrests is
361, in arrests for intoxication,
223 and in care of paupers $2,O15.-
10. A comparison of these figures
for the last year before license went
into effect (19O2) and 1908 when
the city had had five years of the
open saloon shows that the total
number of arrests per year increas-
ed SIS, arrests for intoxication in
creased 39S and the cost of sup
porting paupers increased $3,454.-
rs. There was comparatively little
increase in the population during
this time but these figures show a
cumulative increase in the effects
of the saloon.
These figures should convince
every citizen that his vote on the
question of license or no license is
an important one and should be
cast. We have failed to find a
single legitimate industry that
shows any growth as the result of
having the open saloon but know
that it is rule that crime and pau
perism increase wherever it -four
