Saxon on parchment. is still preserved

king, greeteth William, the bishop, and
Godfrey, the portreeve, and all the
burBesses within London friendly.
And acQuaint you that viii that 20
be all there law-worthy as ye were in
King Edwards days. And will that
every child be his fathers heir after
HIS fathers days. And will not suf-
fer that any man do you any wrong.
God preserve US" The "portreeve"

London. the name signitying chief
governor OF a harbor. Afterward the
chief officer was called provost, and
in the reign Of Henry II. the Norman
title OF maire, soon afterward changed

The first London official to hold the
title OF mayor was Henry Fftz-Alwyn,
who assumed the office in 1889. and
continued to hold it "a years. The
prefix Of lord" was granted by Ed

Primary For Criminals.
Greenwood Index.

GREENWOOD lnQeN.
If a safe basis for granting a par
don to criminal is "a good long pc
t.tion," would it not be a good.
sensible idea to abolish the courts
and turn the whole matter of trying
man for a crime into the regular
primary?
While the idea may appear novel
at first blush we believe upon con
sideration it will appear to have real
merit.
Think of the money we could save
by such process.
There would be no need whatever
for the court of general sessions. All
that mbersOme and expensive
judicial machinery could be thrown
i'm the junk pile.
OF course we would have to keep
the sheriffs or some such officers to
lay hold upon the criminal until the
matter of conviction or Of being set
at liberty was passed upon in a pri-
mary, but all the other court officials
would have to learn a new trade.
1t would be very easy to manage
the whole affair. Just have a set Of
tickets printed, something like this:
John Jones, Guilty" and John
Jones, Not Guilty" and there you
are.
What's the use OF bothering about
evidence? De we not sign or refuse
to sign a petition without bothering
about evidence in the case?
The more we think about 1T, the
more convinced that we have btumb-
led upon big idea.

Consider the Dew

The question is often asked: Does
the dew rise or fall? Dewfall is as
admissible an expression as sunrise or
sunset, says Harper's Weekly. In
both cases the expression is at yari-
ance with scientific fact, Meterologi-
cally, the formation of dew is not ac-
companied by motion in the vertical
plane, hence there can be no question
OF rise or fall. Under certain condi-
tons OF wind, cloud and temperature
veriants, dew is produced. Warm air
charged with moisture comes in con-
tact with cooler surface. When. in
this contact, the heat is subtracted
from the air and the saturation point
for that temperature is reached, the
moisture which is in the air has ex-
listed as water vapor, is condensed
upon the cooler surface at the point OF
contact. The dewdrop, also good Eng.

MARRIAGE SECRET OUT.

Months.

Burlington, March ls.A romance
came to light yesterday when Mr.. and
Mrs. Guy +. Harris announced the mar.
riage of their younger daughter, Eliza.
beth Huse. and Charles w. Macdonald
of the Howard National bank The
young couple were married secretly on
November 2l, 1912, at Colchester. The
bride returned to her home at "a South
Champlain street, where she lived until
two weeks ago, Sunday, March 2, which
was her 18th birthday. Then the mar
riage was made known to her parents,
who have but lately moved to this city
from Williston.
Fear of their opposition on account Of
the brides youth led to the secret we'd
ding, which was performed by the Rev.
w. W. Smith, the Congregational pastor
OF Colchester. Mr.. and Mrs. Harris ap
prove of their son-in- law and are pleased
that their daughter is happily married
Their only objection was her youth.

MoNTpELIER's TAX CASE
Is Being Fought in Washington County

When Washington county court re-
sunled yesterday afternoon. the suit of
the city of Montpelier against the Gem
trail Vermont railroad was taken up
again, the city putting on Burt Blair,
George C. Bailey, Riley c. Bowers and
Joseph Coates as witnesses.
Under cross examination by Attorney

said the Langdon farm was idle after he
sold off the stock. He also testified the
meadow was used in getting passengers
and circus property from the railroadl
to the circus ground He was not able
to state whether or not the railroad
laid tracks on the meadow at the time
of the Dewey day celebration several
years ago, as he testified he Was rot
down in that section of the city at that
time.
Near The close of the afternoon, City
Attorney B. +. Bailey began the reading
of large number of certified excerpts
from the records of the city. These ex-
cerpts included articles from the warn
ing of each city meeting from 1908 to
date, minutes of each city meeting, in
Guiding the special meeting on the ques-
tion of reorganizng the fire department,
the appointments of assistant city
clerks, the oaths of the assistant city
clerks, and other officers OF the city.
These records were necessary to estab-
lish the legality of the taxes claimed
on the property and the legality of the
election of the listers assessing the tax,
and of the election of Collector L. II.

Go Watch a Heavy Train Rush By.

| In the March American Magazine a
writer contributing an article "Why
Railroad Wrecks Increase" says in part
| Go, stand beside track as a large,
heavy train rushes by. The steel rails
rise and fall and il seems a miracle they
do not always break. The ties rise and
! fall. and are pushed about in the earth
4 or pieces of stone in which they are en-
| bedded. The whole structure is extreme
| ly flexible. 1t is utterly unable of itself
! to resist the tremendous strains and
shocks to which it is subjected. It
surges and sways, and is preserved from
instant and total destruction only by the
very Conference impaired to it by the
nonstrous burden under which il is
struggling. The very rails would be
twisted apart were il not for the tenn
porary connection made by the axles of
the moving train.
Upon fourteen to twenty wooden ties
are placed two narrow steel rails. Upon
this thin line of steel constantly pass
rolling loads of as high as twenty-five
thousand pounds per wheel, and some
times more. There are freight trains
with nearly eight hundred wheels. Trains
are made up weighing upwards of thir-
teen million pounds. Now the TWO steel
rails. but a few inches thick at the
widest point, must be so placed upon the
fourteen to twenty cross-ties as to be
held absolutely in line and in surface
true. Upon the track department falls
the huge task of so adjusting these
wooden ties as to distribute the weight
accurately.
"How are these rails laid? A section
foreman with manifold and detailed du-
ties. and receiving less than 81 day,
assisted mostly by lot of ignorant for
eign laborers, receiving less than sl.50 |
day. squints along the track and lays the /
rails as best he can. II one cross-tie |
gets a little out of place. as it may do /
from any one Of a hundred causes. there |
i a complete change in its relation to /
every other tie. The work of readjusting 1
is never finished. Each alteration in a
tie means new distribution Of the /
whole load. II the equilibrium is not
properly restored. the life Of hundreds Of I.

sums of invested capital, may be jeopar-
