"PsXCH1C EQUIVALENT"

Many, and various have been the de- lenses offered by people accused or capital crimes and probably no one takes any stock in them, except the alienists, and there has often been much doubt expressed as to whether even they believed what they said, they testifying along a certain line simply because they had been e1n- ployed to do so.
 A man named Boswell C.. Smith killed girl in Chicago the other day and tDr. Hickson, who is in charge of the ,psychopathic bureau of Chicago says that at the time of the mur- der Smith was known to science as being in a state of psychic eQuiva- lent" gripped by an epileptic fit that convulsed his mind without extend ing to his body. He then gives this explanation of the murderer: "An epileptic, while tracked by the 'psy- chic equivalent loses all intellectual insight. Murder becomes thing as AdIu1dl dS pdSS1uS LIle llHAS OA 0dJs These feeble-minded persons. of whom there are perhaps 5O,0O0 in Chicago, should be segregated. I do not mean they should be confined, but the sane population should be protected against them. I should have them placed on farms, where they might work outdoors under the eyes of watchful keepers. The way to bring this segregation about is to extend and develop psychopathic bureaus in connection with the courts"
 If such an explanation is put up to the average juryman, who Is sworn to render a verdict according to the evidence, he Is apt to find it difficult to know just what to do. The general opinion is that a man who will take a child and kill it ought to be killed himself and that those who have the psychic equivalent ought to be confined where they cannot do any harm when the idea to take human life strikes them. The murderer in this case is sick man; so are many others in the same city and 1t is said that most of them are feeble minded. That, however, is only additional proof of the need of rounding them up and placing them where they can- not do any harm.

EDITOR GETS WHIFF FROM
 SEWER BEDS.
FROM

New Britain is confronted with
 the fact that the sewage system
 of the city which has been in
 trouble for many years, IS any, thing but satisfactory. Those get ting a whiff of the present sys- tenn as they ride by the sewer beds not adjacent to New Britain will be willing witnesses without ques- tion-Middletown Penny Press.
 whiff is good and it is also suf- |hcient. Those who drive through Ber- lfn are always impressed with It's beauties; the flowers grow ther in |profusion, the meadows are green, the gentle flow of the Mattabes- Bett river as it wends it's way to Mid |dletown, ripping in it's course, is |conducive to poetic thought and las it slowly passes the office of the Press, the intelligent compositor pauses in his work, drops a wrong font letter in his stick and the editor kazes with rapture upon the peace ful but happy stream. And yet our heighbors in Berlin would say that the waters are discolored, that the sewer beds emit an odor which the term 'whiff," used by our discreet con- temporary, does not fully describe and which may be obtained while driving bv the property which New Britain purchased and which Berlin, the barent town of this thriving city, per- |sfsts in placing on the tax list at a hqure not in accordance with the es- aem and affection to which long Relationship might well entitle Us.
 The Herald alludes to the remark of ts esteemed contemporary concerning he odors which rise from the beds yhen the editor of the Press is driv- nr by in hiespeed wagon and which he so cautiously describes as a "whiff, .

MOSQUITOES.

A tomato. can a couple of
 hundred yards from your house,
 standing right side up and filled
 with rainwater, unseen, in an un-
 improved field, can furnish mos-
 quitoes enough in season to
 keep a neighborhood screened or
 scratching. It is not necessary to
 be in the vicinity of a pool or
 swamp. The absence of apparent
 breeding places of the mosquito
 is not evidence that your locality
 is not breeding them. For the
 breeding of the mosquito stagnant
 water is needed. The period is
 about two weeks. Then the wrig-
 gler, will arise and soon be about
 her business. It is the female
 that descends like the Assyrian.
 The male, matured, lives about
 three days, an enemy of society
 only as he is the father of his
 race. He stfngs not and his hours
 are brief. He Is gathered to his
 fathers and madame, his wife,
 goes forth to raise wrigglers and
 welts, to ravage the fair places
 of the earth.-Chicago Tribune.
 The average person understands that SIdSHdIlL WdICI S1lOulO IOC De dl- lowed around a persons premises, there is much evidence that it is being prevented in many places and as a result there are less mosquitoes ex- cept along the shore and in low and swampy spots. These cannot be very well eliminated, but when we referred to the voracious pest in the vicinity of one of our leading shore resorts the other day the statement was de- nied and some of our esteemed con- temporaries showed an inclination to question the truth of the statements.
 The war on the fly has been started and he is having a difficult time in getting living, especially among the best of families, where he enjoyed 6 pleasant feeding ground in pas, years. There has been some progress made in destroying the breeding place of the mosquito, so that if business would pick up a bit there is no req. son why we should not all be a han. py people.

ers are willing to ship butter or other
produce to strangers whose credit
is not at all understood. Payment
in advance may be suggested but
then how many consumers would
dare pay money in advance without
knowing the quality of goods to be
delivered. Another question is would
the farmer be willing to pack his
goods in a manner satisfactory to his
customers. Granting his willing
ness, there is the probability of a
great difference in the desires of his
customers and inability to please all.
While the action of the post Office
is an important and nee
essary one in the direct from pro-
Queer to consumer movement the
problem seems far from complete
solution However it should be
given thorough study to see if it can
benefit both of these great classes.

The Caledonia Forest and Stream
Club has arranged for the stocking of
twenty-five streams in the county
with trout this spring. 1t would be
very glad to render the same service
for the whole county but so many
members of the club have failed to
pay their dues that it lacks funds
for the work. 1t is in a position to
make better fishing in every stream
in the county if all the members will
give theiR financial support to the
extent of paying 81 year dues. If
you want a systematic planting of
trout in your vicinity send your dol
lar and that of friend who is willing
to join the club to the secretary, w.
B. Eastman of this village and the
club will make the fishing in Gale
donia county the best to be found
in Vermont.

The city of St. Adams has an OPP
portunity to become one of the shin
ing municipal lights of the country
by engaging a city manager. The
bureau of municipal research has
promised to send an expert every
month free of expense to assist and
advise with the city manager If the
city will employ one. 1t will do this
for the information it may secure
for the benefit of cities all over the
country. Some Taxpayer of that
city has figured out that the city
already pays $2.167.6S to a super
of the water department
to handle $7,26O.22 worth of labor
and material. 1t would seem as
though the city is entitled to cheaper
oversight than that.

The press of Vermont, so far as it
has expressed any opinion, has free
ly recognized the ability of Theodore
N. Vail to give the state of Vermont
a strong, clean and business like ad-
ministration as governor. The mat
ter has been discussed outside of
Vermont in the most favorable way.
If Mr. Vail should see fit to accept
the nomination there is no doubt
Vermont would be ION the map" the
country over to a greater extent than
it has been during the last genera
ton. Mr. Vail would be able to give
the state what it most needs, a con-
structive program in which capital
would be given reasonable opportun-
ity for profitable investment and the
public guarded against the over
reaching of capital. If the West
Side men do not take the field the
East Siders" may insist on giving
the state the biggest man to be found
in the whole state.

pointed an executive committee to
have charge of the state campaign
and left both Aseltine and Thomp-

plain to the public what the difficulty
between Aseltine and Thompson
was, also whether there is any truth
to the whispered rumor that Thomp-
son has got 5000 of the progressives'
money and left the country. The
progressives have collected more
money for political purposes since
the close of the last campaign than
all the other political organizations
of the state and it seems only fair
they should tell the public what has
been done with it.

A Crisis In England

1 n OAACA0 III AAhsSAA
The conditions in England make
one wonder if stable government is
a reality. Here is a nation whose
boast has been constitutional govern
ment facing a political and military
upheaval that may develop into re-
voIution. 1t has all been brought
about by the problem of Ulster.
! Three times the question of home
rule for Ireland has been referred to
the electorate and each time the YER
dict has been in its favor, still Ire
land has not been given home rule.
Opposed to home rule are the aristo-
cracy of Great Britain and the Union
lists of the province of Ulster in Ire
land. The catholics are in a majority
in Ulster and the old conenanters
declare they will never be governed
by the catholics. So bitter is their
opposition that they have organized
a volunteer force of nearly 100000
men oficered in part by trained mill
tary men and declare they will rebel
before submitting TO their religious
opponents.
The Liberal government which has
been championing the cause of home
rule has offered several compromises
to the rebellious people of Ulster, one
of which was a referendum at the
end of four or six years on the ques-
ton of whether home rule should be
continued in Ulster, but the opposi-
ton continues. The probability of an
open revolt in case home rule was
forced upon them became so great
that the government determined to
place a military force in Ulster for
the purpose of protecting military
stores and putting down any uprising
that might occur. Then trouble with
the army developed, several officers
resigning rather than fight the peo-
pie of Ulster, the army evidently be-
ing in sympathy with the aristocracy
rather than the people.
Faced with the total demoraliza-
ton of the English army, Premier
Asquith disclaimed any intention of
attacking the people of Ulster, the
King made a personal appeal to the
officers and apparently the govern
ment promised the disgruntled Of
ficers they would not be called upon
to fight in Ulster and most of them
returned to their position. This def
ance of the government by the army
lighted a torch that may so inhame
England that aristocracy may be
dragged from it's throne and popular
will placed in power. Very shocking
and disgraceful has been the demon
stration of the army that it is strong
er than constitutional government in
England. 1t has revealed a vital
weakness of the military system Eng
land once took such pride in. 1t
seems that only the aristocracy can
hold military offices and when asked
to give up the social privileges of
their place they prefer treason to
loyalty.
1t is impossible to predict the re-
suits of the resentful spirit that
has been aroused. 1t may affect
more than the army and strip the
house of lords of much of its power.
Home rule may be lost in the gene
raj upheaval the rebellion of Ulster
and the army has aroused. The eyes
of the world are turned on England
and time alone can determine how
the crisis will be met.
