WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Way Judge Thompson Did.

The Way Judge thompson Did.
Judge Fish's method of disposing of
the cases of illegal liquor sellers in
this county reminds one of the way the
late Judge Thompson handled the
violators under the old prohibition
law. Certainly Judge Fish did his
duty in treating the liquor-law break
ers as he did.-Waterbury Record.
No More Cigarettes.
A Bellows Falls firm has ed the
following notice on it's customers:
@'From now on our show case will con
tain no cigarettes. Such firm
stand against the pernicious traffic in
the poisonous smoke sticks does more
good in a week than all the parlor
reformers can accomplish in hundred
monthly meetings of the Willing
Workers. Guild.-Barre Times.
"Charlie" Prouty's Start.
When Charles A. Prouty, the inter-
state commerce commissioner, who is
making such a stir in New Haven
railroad affairs, started law practice in
northern Vermont, he earned $500 the
first year, $500 the next and then had
to piece out his income with school
teaching. But he has been on the
ascending scale of service to the
public ever since that time.-Barre
Times.
Bryan and Wilson Both Abstainers.
Men who drink and men who don't
drink will applaud Secretary of State
Bryan for his decision not to serve
Intoxicating liquors at his table. 1t is
his right to do as he believes to be
right Just because Washington is
full of idle officials who like to guzzle
wine at public dinners is no reason
why man who is teetotaler should
be compelled to furnish it for them

A Human Idea.
| Hereafter the convicts at Windsor
I will be paid a percentage of what they
earn. That is, percentage how large
we have not learned, will be saved for
them by the prison officials and the
whole amount passed over when the
beneficiary has served his sentence and
passes out into the world to begin life
again. This is an excellent arrange
ment and ought to give the inmates of
the Windsor institute new hope and
| courage. Falls Times.

Tie dust nuisance is problem that
+ ought to be dealt with here i'm
mediately. The cloud of dust that
sits in through doors and windows.
that swOops down over one in the street
| filling ears, eyes and mouth is not only
extremely unpleasant but is unhealth-

plenty of water but there is no

vided to meet this dust question
instead Of meeting so much DUST

GubernatoriaI Timber.
Evidently intent upon stirring up
a bit of political discussion, the
/ Poultney Journal wonders how Charles
F. Smith of Burlington would suit
Vermont Republicans as candidate for
governor next year, and whether J.
Wesley Miller of Bethel would be
acceptable to the Democrats. We
cannot vouch for the reception Mr..
Miller's name would receive among
the adherents of the party just now in
power, but we do feel reasonably safe
in saying that Mr.. Smith isn't likely

/ knowledge of the residence in this

Sound Boy Advice from Island Pond.
| Who is to blame if a boy goes
wrong? Is it the boys parents?
From observation made here and else
where, we believe it is the parents.
Every time the boy gets in trouble,
the mother goes and pleads for him,
which is but natural, but there lies
the very trouble. she has been
