not governed by hysteria, rather that
their actions be guided by reason. In
order that their actions may be guided
by reason it is absolutely necessary
that the people in those neighboring
towns base their judgment on actual
facts instead of on rumors. 1t has come
to the attention of The Times that ru-
NOR is current in some places that Barre
is under quarantine, that persons are
not allowed to come or go; which il
false. There is no quarantine on the
city except the quarantine of those
houses in which there are cases of small
poX. In those houses are confined all
persons who have smallpox, while the
rigor of local quarantine goes still fur
Their and restricts cases which are sus-
pected of having smallpox. In short, all
persons who may carry the disease are
restrained from commingling with 9th
ers, and the chances of infection are
removed 1t is, of course, necessary
precaution as in the case Of all infec-
tious diseases; and the precaution is
strictly adhered to, whatever rumor there
may be to the contrary. Barre is doing
everything possible to safeguard both its
own citizens and the people of other
communities who may come to the city;
and we feel perfectly justified in saying
that the latter run no more chance of
smallpox than they do by trav-
cling through any other part of Yer
mont
AS for other facts in the situation,
let us state that there are twenty cases
Of the disease at the present time
twenty cases in a population of 1000
people, which does not make very large |
epidemic, as we submit.
Moreover, the cases are removed from
possible communication to others. The
are having the lighter form Of
he disease and are not dangerously i'll,
md as they recover the board of health
will see to it that all necessary steps
ire taken so that the disease will not

lealth is in close touch with the Barre
Icalth authorities and has been for two
weeks. The state board approves of the
ocal boards action; in fact, the state
,oard suggested the line of action be-
ng carried out.
These, then, are in brief the facts
bout the smallpox situation in Barre.
t may take long time for the truth

ave been spread abroad by thoughtless
eople, but we trust that this statement
lay do something to correct the misap-
rehension which seems to have gained

CURRENT COMMENT
The Worlds Series.

The close of the worlds championship
baseball series for 1912 leaves good
taste in the mouths of millions OF inter
ested Americans. The series has been
free from rowdyism, the spectators at
each game have received fully their
moneys worth, and owners and players
alike have Jared we'll financially. No
one knows how many eager fans" in
foreign countries have followed the
games by means of the newspapers. The
result affords small warrant for vain
glory on the part OF the winners. This
would have been equally true if victory
had perched on the banner of the Giants.
Errors have not been lacking at critical
times on either side. The same may be
said OF plays of spectacular excellence.
If fortune, sometimes known as luck,
favored one team one day, she seems to
have balanced accounts by favoring the
other team on the next. II would be
grossly unjust, however, to imply that
the element of luck had been pre-emi-
nent factor in the series. Both teams
have played championship ball The tri.
umph was far from being an easy one.
No one viii be reader than the victori-
Gus Red Sox themselves to admit that
they have been up against opponents
worthy of their prowess Similarly, the
boys from New York are bound to ad nit
that the pennant goes to Boston after
they had striven their hardest to capture
It. Inevitably, there will be criticism
of the management on either side at |
vital stages, but that would have been
true anyway. The great American pub
lie has enjoyed another worlds series at
The national game, and no one will be |
disposed to begrudge the victors their |

THE DEER HUNTING LAW.

As usual, efforts are being made in
the Vermont legislature to change The
open season for deer hunting from the
present season, which extends from No.
vember Is to November %, inclusive
that late date having been fixed upon in
order to protect forests from fire which
might be started through carelessness of
hunters. As we understand it, one pro-
posed law would change the present deer
season, for which licenses have been is
sued, covering the period from November
Is to %, setting the time earlier than
that. Such immediate change of the
law would be unfair and would lead to
a great many complications because of
the impossibility of acquainting hunters
with the change. Therefore, that bill
ought not to pass. Indeed, it would be
better not to tamper with the law at all.
The open season for deer has been
switched. about so frequently that al
ready there is marked confusion over it,
and further change would increase the
uncertainty. The lateness of the period
safeguards the forests from fire to a
great extent and does not materially af-
feet the hunting one way or the other.
Hence, the law ought to stand as it is.

GRANITE HILL CEMETERY
TANGLE Is UNSETTLED

The county court in session Friday
considered the matter Of the Granite
Hill cemetery property to a portion
of which, included within the fence
and containing burial plots belonging
to many local people, the county has
no valid title.
The purchase of that part of the
disputed property belonging to the
Dlmmicl1 estate has already been pro-
vided for, 1t being included In the
twenty acres that the county is now
obtaining at a price Of 500 per acre.
A proposition was made to Mr.. Hood
by which he was to be paid at the
same rate for the Ill acres of his
land included within the cemetery,
but he declined to accept unless the
county would buy also some five or
six acres lying outside but adjacent
to the cemetery property. at the rate
of 800 per acre The county court
concluded that 1t could not use this
other ground for cemetery purposes,
and made another proposition to Mr..
Hood, offering to trade him nearly
double the amount OF ground lying
to the west OF the cemetery for the
Ill acres. Mr. Hood declined the
trade, and no settlement has yet been
arrived at. As the matter now stands,
the county offers 500 per acre for
the disputed strip; Mr.. Hood will sell
for the price II other land he has in
the vicinity to the amount Of fye or
six acres is included also.
Judge Jewell, in discussing the
matter Saturday, said that those peo-
pie who we're most deeply interested
through having dead loved ones bur
led within the questioned territory
need have no fear that the plots
would ever be disturbed as II
would certainly be continued a part
OF the Granite Hill cemetery. He ex'
pressed no doubt on the subject but
was positive in his statement that re-
gardless Of what the outcome OF the
negotiations with Mr. Hood might be
the county would retain possession
OF the Ill acres. Judge Jewell him
self has son buried in the portion
OF the cemetery in dispute.

ATTEMPT MADE TO DITCH No. 16
AT MERLIN.
DYNAMITE ON TIE TRACk
Six To Eight Sticks OF Giant Powder
Ground Under Engines
Wheels.

A dastardly attempt was made to
wreck northbound passenger train
No. 16 last Saturday evening, when
some miscreant placed dynamite on
the Southern Pacific track at Merlin,
and only the fact that the powder
failed to explode when the wheels OF
the engine struck it saves the record
ing of an accident that might have
been horrifying in it's results.
Following the passage OF the first
section of No. 16, due at Merlin at
about seven O'Clock, a brakeman on
a freight train discovered dynamite
on the track at the upper end Of the
yard, and near the upper switch. The
wheels of No. 16 had ground the ex-
plosive into bits, showing that it had
been placed directly upon the rails,
but from the fragments left it is evil
dent that from six to seven sticks of
No. Hercules giant powder had
been used in the effort to ditch the
train The powder, which bears the
date Of manufacture, 1909, was evil
IDENTIFY too old to explode from the
grinding of the wheels. No cap or
fuse was found with it, and it seems
likely that the persons who placed
it on the track expected 1t to be fired
when the train ran over it.
Powder men say that good fresh
powder will readily explode under
such conditions if the weather be
warm or If the powder be heated.
Powder as old as that used at Mer-
lin, however, is never sold, and min
-eFs and others who use tons Of it in
this district every year will buy only
freshly made stock. The powder
placed upon the track was evidently
from some old mining prospect where
1t had been stored, possibly in a damp
place, till its strength had been large
ly lost, to which fact can be credited
the saving of No. 16 and its dozen or
more coach-loads of passengers.
The amount of powder used would
have been sufficient, say those versed
in the action of dynamite, to have
hurled the engine from the track,
and thus have ditched the entire
train.
There is no suspicion pointing in
any direction, and no clue was left
to aid in the apprehension Of the
party who endangered scores Of lives
by deed that merits capital punish
ment if any deed does.
