CURRENT COMMENT
Recognition Of DR.. Holton's Work.

The Vermont legislature would do
well 10 give DIR. Henry d. Holton, in his
retirement from the position OF execu.
tive officer OF the state board OF health,
some handsome recognition of memorial.
DIR. Holton's work has been humanita-
rian IN tile broadcast sense. He was one
of the pioneers in taking up the great
subject of public health, and he has la.
bored for the interests of the state with
zeal and efficiency through long term
of years. The value OF his work can
never be measured. but we would quick
ly have an appreciation of il il we ADAM
doned the safeguards now employed and
returned TO the haphazard system or
lack OF system in vogue years ago.

GOOD WORK OUTLINED.
Vermont Historical Society's Purpose Is
Explained by It's President.

A fairly good-sized audience greeted
DR.. Isaac Jennings of Bennington, who
spoke upon "rhe Relation of the Battle
of Bennington TO the Battle of Sara
toga' before the Vermont Historical
society last evening In the House OF
Representatives, to which the members
of the general assembly and Montpelier
people were invited.
Hon. W. W. Stickney called the meet
ing to order and DR.. G. H. Merrill of St
Johnsbury offered prayer, after which
Mr.. Stickney made a report of the work
Of the society, as doing the work which
the governments of other states do.
For IA years, the Vermont society has
been doing the work without any be-
quests. 1t was organized by four men !;
il has grown to a membership of 4l0
persons. Mr.. Stickney asked for a mem
bership of 1000 persons. The society
has 255 genealogies, having made spe-
cialty of securing town histories. The
most important matter is shelf ROOM
For public use, these are not accessible.
He told of the growth of the library
from a part of one small room to it's
present room in the annex of the State
House He said: Il am speaking plain

but the state should look after its own"

member of the general assembly, but

THAT PROMISE.

Perhaps those Republicans in the Yer
mont House, who voted against the trus-
tee process measure, wanted to kill the
bill in order to have bait to hold up
before the voters every other September.
Promise of the enactment of law of
tAis nature has been used frequently by
The Republican party, and it was not
used this year because of clerical
error which caused the plank to be
omitted from the platform. However,
the law practically was promised by the
leaders of the party, so that the party

1t is marvellous with what equanimity
the American people look upon the
approaching trial of the man who shot
ex President Roosevelt. Possibly the
equanimity is due to the popular i'm
preston that the assailant will get his
Just desserts when the case comes to
trial, because of the confidence felt that
he cannot escape punishment of some
sort, if it be nothing more than confine
ment in an insane asylum, Neverthe-
less, in spite of the few public state
ments concerning the affair, it may be
taken for granted that there is no I'M
derstimating of the magnitude of the
crime.

When the betting odds on the election
are at such extremes as to in favor
of Wilson as the next president of the

Gratis and some Others to take courage.

thing to substantiate the position.

greater attention might be paid to this

to several contestants would stimulate
the tagging interest in the forensic art.

Mahlon B. Foster, of Wilmington,
who was sentenced to a four-year term
in the Federal prison in Atlanta Mon
day, following conviction for using
the mails for fraudulent purposes, is
suffering the penalty which usually
comes to those who persistently trifle
with the law and make disreputable
shortcuts in an effort to obtain money
or other property from friends and
neighbors, says the Wilmington Ev-
ening Journal. If he had exercised
the same amount of energy and brain
power in honest transactions that he
exercised in transactions of a dishon-
est or questionable character, no
doubt he would have won a compet-
ency. He had escaped punishments
so often for his various misdemeanors
that, toward ths close of his career,
he seemed to think he was immune
from punishment. He over-reached,
however, when he, to all intents and
purposes. appropriated for his dis
honest schemes the name of one of
the most prominent and honorable
corporations of Wilmington; used it
as basis for large lines of credit;
and utilized the United States mails
in connection Herewith. By so doing
: he brought himself and his delinquen-
cies within the reach of the Depart
ment of Justice. When finally he
found himself in the grip of the Fed
eral officials. instead of devoting his
time to planning a defense and soft
ening the feeling of resentment that
existed against him in official circles,
Foster proceeded to attack District
Attorney Nields-whose official duty
it was to prosecute him-and, by un-
warranted charges, to attempt to dis
credit him. Under such circum-
stances it was not surprising that Mr..
Nields had no feeling of pity for a
man who, the records in the case
showed, had engaged in such far
reaching swindling operations.
