WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
3oynton a Native Of Orleans County.

Boynton Native Of Orleans County.
It is reported that Thomas j. Boyn-
ton of Massachusetts will be appointed
an Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury ct j. is Vermonter by birth
and has a host of friends throughout
the state and Lamoille county in par
tlcular, Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis, who sincerely hope that this
plum will fall to him, because he is not
only staunch Democrat, but real
good fellow Hyde Park News and

| Freak and Fool Bills.
Occasionally we hear of freak bill
| being introduced in the legislature by
some state other than Vermont. The
Kansas Legislature has one pending
that provides that @'when two trains
approach crossing both shall stop and
neither shall go ahead until the other
has passed by. Londonderry Sitter.
Some years ago in the highbrow
state of Massachusetts, bill was in
troduced making it misdemeanOr to
walk upon a railroad track when said
track is occupied by train in motion.
New Workers are prone to poke fun at
the smaller state, but it was in the
| New York legislature that bill was
introduced providing that certain poi
sonous drugs shall be sold only to repu-
table physicians for their own personal
use.-Bennington Banner.
| Save the Girls.
If the highly moral, carefully pro-
| tected woman, who knows not tempta-
ton herself will frown as severely
upon the immoral man as she does
she will do much to help the present
condition of affairs. Society winks
at the wrong doing of the young men
of the nation and calls it "sowing wild
OATS" but the companion of his crime,
if she is found out and she always is,
is singled out and good women look at
her askance, and fathers will shake
their head in disapproval of her; she
has passed quite outside the pale of
their circle and is frowned down by
everyone, men and women alike. But
what of the man, the cause of her dis
grace? If it happens to be an eligible
; young man, he is received and all
unite to reform him, and he may
marry whom he chooses. so long as he
shows desire to 'settle down."
If we could educate the girl away
from the office; persuade every mar
t would his own daughter; teach the
young boy to respect girls educate the
women of society and influence to os-
I tracize the immoral man, and have
2 more compassion and leniency upon the
c wrongs of girls; if these things can be
done, then we will have made a long
stride toward saving or redeeming the
: young women Northfeld News.
