draft for $4,000 by the right hand,
he arrived in this hospitable village
on June "a Four days later he was
going to accompany "a steamship TO

He registered at the Hotel Mar

young man.
In the cafe the well-dressed young
man was met by a friend who almost
tore a pocket in trying TO remove an
obese roll Of yeIlowbacks in an I'M
ostentatious manner.
Easy, Too Eeasy.
This is a mere nothing, said the
friend. Carelcssfy. Nv hen / see SO

working for money it breaks my weak

That called for an explanation, and
il was given. by tapping the wires
that carry racing results one could
make a fortune IN 20 minutes.

AMEND THE STATUTE.

One fact which has been pretty clear
~ established in the discussion of the
Indictment against Lou A. Foster for
killing Ossie Prouty is that section
2268 Of the Public Statutes ought to be
amended or tested out in the supreme
court. Foster was indicted on muir
der charge. The state S attorney, who
supposedly drew the indictment for the
grand jury, says the wording of the
document covers charge of murder in
the second degree, which is taken to rep
resent the intent of the grand jury.
Other lawyers say the Indictment fol
lows the statute which preseribes what
must be shown in first degree indict-
ments.
If the court should hold that, after

The Value of Local Papers.
bennington Banner. }


The people who buy and read news
papers, especially in q small city or
country town, seldom realize how
much they owe their local papers. Ev
cry church, every society, every public
movement comes to the newspaper of
flee to have its doings and aims brought
before the public. Not a day passes in
any daily newspaper office in Vermont
that the editor is not solicited to aid
in some way some organization or plan.
Some of the promoters, thinking only
of their own particular scheme, seem
surprised that the editor cannot
promptly take hold and lift it along,
not realizing that theirs is only one
of scores of similar calls that are made
en- the newspaper man. As a rule the
editor gives more in work and time to
such things than any other ten men
in the community and is then COM
PEELED to listen to grumbling because
he doesn t do more. The Banner had
an experience in this line a few months
ago that was enough to make dog
laugh -unless it made him mad. Dur
ing the preceding months the Banner
had devoted literally hundreds of col
umns of space to agitation in favor OF
better roads and had done it at the
/ expense of a good many dollars and a
good many hours of labor Yet at a
public meeting one of the sort of gen
tlemen who is always secure in his own
conceit stood up and criticised the
Banner because it didn't give more
space and~effort to the cause. The
world is full of people who can see only
through their own particular crack bu
are always ready to criticise others.

Primary Advantages.
Burlington Free Press.

Among the advantages claimed for
the direct primary are the following:
1t enables the individual voter to ex-
ert an increased influence in the choice
of both candidates and party commit
;eemen, who are also voted for directly
by the voters as a whole.
1t tends to bring out larger vote
at the primaries, and therefore makes
manipulation more difficult, while in
teresting more people in affairs of gov
eminent.
1t is simpler than the convention, as
under the caucus system there are prl-
maries just the same and then various
conventions whereas as a rule one day :
direct primary settles nominations.
1t promotes true party leadership
by clothing leaders with authority dl-
rect from the voters as whole.
1t secures the nomination OF better
men as rule, as they must depend up
on their presentation Of their claims
to the voters instead of upon secret
manipulation in caucus and conven-
lions.
The genuine direct primary takes
away control of nominations from
bosses and places that control more
nearly in the hands of the people.

all, Foster was indicted in the highest
degree, while the jury, after hearing
only the worst side of the ease, found
that he should not be so charged, it
would indeed be placing him in jeop-
ardv to an unwarranted extent.
The trouble comes from the fact that
the words with generalization, SO
long and inseparably associated with
the idea Of first degree murder, are not
required in section 226S, which speci-
fies what it shall be sufficient for an
Indictment to charge. By amending the
statute so as to give the exact wording
necessary in first and second degree al
legations, uncertainty in this regard
would be eliminated.
