FINAL FIGHT. FOR -Rlc4esoN
Effort Will Be Made This Week Tc

The final fight for life in behalf of
Clarence V. T, Richeson. who, while
a Baptist minister with pastorate at
Cambridge and engaged to marry a
wealthy young woman, poisoned his
former sweetheart, Avis w. Linnell,
of Hyannis, will be made this week
at Boston. Richeson, who confessed
to the crime before being brought to
trial, has been sentenced to be cleo
trocuted in the week beginning May
10, but his attorneys hope to prevail
upon Gov. Foss to allow a petition
for clemency to go to the executive
council which holds its regular meet
ing Wednesday. Richesons lawyers
were hopeful of success. Il feel
confident that Richeson will not for
felt his life in the electric chair" de-
clared William A. Morse of Riches
on's counsel. He said further that
circumstances such as cannot be
overlooked prevail, which would
make the taking of his life most un-
justifiable."
These circumstances, upon which
the plea for Communication of the death
sentence to one of life Imprisonment
will be based, are understood to be
connected largely with the claim that
Richeson was suffering from form
of insanity when he gave Avis Lin
nell the poison which caused her
death October IA, 1911. An alienist
who examined Richeson in the Char
les street Jail has recently declared
that Richeson was at present partly
| insane.

aged father, Col. Thomas Varland

HumllIatina the Governor

II must be rather humiliating for
Governor Mead to be shelyed to the
lowest place on the Chicago state
delegation, and to have been put for
ward as a candidate in the conven-
ton only after the test vote had been
cast. with another candidate leading
the Taft side. And this, too, after
the governor had made valiant cam
paign in Taft's behalf-Randolph
Herald.
The above paragraph has had such
wide circulation throughout the state
that il is worthy of word or two IN
reply. IL was humiliating to Cover
nor Mead as a man and humiliating
TO the Office he holds that his name
should have gone in any other than
second place in the list OF delegates
Even under all the circumstances
that is where it should have gone
and where undoubtedly il would have
gone had it not been for petty action
on somebody's part.
IL was well known at Montpelier
that Governor Mead and his friends
had made a strong fight for Presi
dent Taft. There was never any
question as to where Governor Mead
stood He was for the president and
said so openly. That is more thar
some other prominent leaders OF the
party were willing to do. AS result
he became target for the attack OF
the Roosevelt workers. Before the
convention was called TO order, how
ever, the Roosevelt men knew that
they were beaten and that they would
have to take the medicine that was
doled out to them. Governor Mead
had already stepped aside when II
was suggested that the chairmanshiI
of the delegation should go to Sena
tor Page and II was entirely in orde
that Senator Pages name should haze
been voted on first, as IL was.
After Senator Page had beef
named 1t was suggested that it hat
been the custom 10 name a candidate
from one side of the state and the
from the other and so on until th'
four were named. Governor Mea,
had no objection to this and therein
II seems to us he erred. He SHOULD
have ignored precedent and had hi
own name voted on second. The re
suit would have been the same exceI
that there would have been no techn
cal incident upon which the rattle
attenuated story that the convention
had gone out OF its way TO "humil
ate" Governor Mead, could be hung
The governor comes out of the co
vention a victor and II there is an
point to having his name second o
the list-particularly If It was pla,
ed last for the purpose OF "humiliS
ting" hint should be put up neS
to Senator Pages. And we feel quit
sure that there is no member of tn
delegation who will raise the leas
objection to its being placed there

There are quite a few bosses who are
simply grand
But there are quite a few things they
cannot understand,
They are always very busy with this
man or that
But nearly always want to dictate when
the stenograper gets her hat.
She puts away her notebook, then
powders her face
She is about in readiness for the six
O'Clock race,
The boss has talked to many within the
few hours past
But Miss Stenographer, as usual, is last.
When he gathers up his papers and
saunters towards her desk
She tries to hide a frown and look her
very best,
She knows it's after six o'clock and she
must not delay
She has a date with Willie to see the
newest play.
She must rearrange her hair and don
her prettiest dress,
And as the time glides swiftly by she
grows more distressed,
She knows she will miss her supper.
the boss dictates so slow
IT'S after even now but he does not
seem to know.
At last the letters are ended with
Every truly Yours"
But to her home and SUPPER: Miss STEM
ographer swiftly goes.
She doesn't touch her supper, she has
no time to spare,
Her hair must remain just as it is, Will
lie will soon de there.
She does the best she can in the little
time that's left
But of patience and sweet temper, she
is completely bereft.
She knows she simply looks a fright
but solace she must find
In the thought and knowledge, she did
not have the time.
And then perhaps the dressmake err is the
cause of that frown
She is making for Miss Stenographer a
new gown,
The Stenographer said she'd be there
o O after six
But the Boss, with papers in bend,
said--'Nix."
Everyone's disappointed except the boss
But he cannot know, or understand the
Stenographers loss,
He goes to his home each evening where
there are numberless joys,
One sweet lady and three boys.
Then perhaps his thoughts wander back
to Miss Stenographer
He cant understand those frowns, just
when she was ready to 60,
He is contented and happy after the
Madam has answered his knock
He really has forgotten when he used
to watch the clock"

The Fight on Typhoid.

1t is rather startling to be told
that in 1906 there we're more cases
of typhoid in the United States,
with a population not half as large
as that of India, than there were
cases of plague in India; and that
there were four times as manv
cases of typhoid in the United
States as cases of cholera in Russia
during a period including the cpl.
demic of 1910.
These figures arc taken from an
article by Mclaughlin, of the Ma.
rine' Hospital Service, who saws
that we consider with appreciation
the countries in which cholera and
plague occur frequently and call
them pest ridden countries, but do
not consider the problem of typhoid
fever in our own country with suf,
hcient seriousness. He gives tables
to show that within the registra.
ton area in the United States. in
fifty cities having an aggregate
population of over 70, 700, 600 the
average typhoid death rate for
1910 was % per hundred thousand
inhabitants. In one city in that
year it amounted TO S67 per hund.
red thousand, and in several cities
1T amounted to IS or more. In ten
OF the largest cities of Northern
Europe, comprising a population
of $4,000, 900, the average typhoid
death rate per hundred thousand
of population during a period of
ten years, from 1901 to 1910, was
only "a, and in 1910 the rate had
gone down to 2.5.
1t is considered in Europe that
a death rate of IS to 10 per hun.
dred thousand constitutes a rather
serious reflection on the sanitary
management or the water supplies
