NEW HAMPSHIRE'S MEDICAL
COLLEGE NEEDS.

State Superintendent of Education
Henry c. Morrison, who is in closest
touch with educational affairs of his
state asserts: Il am sure that we need
medical school in New Hampshire. We
have such school OF long and honor
able record at Hanover. But its clinical
advantages there are inadequate. The
last two years of this school ought to
be moved to Manchester, where there is
ample clinical material" New Hamp-
shire is state like in most respects to
Vermont Vermont has medical school
of good standing. Yet a board of out
side investigators comes in and tells
Vermont people they ought to undo the
work of years in building up this medi-
forever and become an appendage OF
Harvard or McGill, as far as advance
ment in medicine is concerned. And, it
ought to be added, Burlington has about
the same clinical advantages as Manches-
ter, in which city Supt. Morrison pro-
posed to establish the last two years
of the Dartmouth medical course. If
the opinion of Supt. Morrison of the New
Hampshire school system is of any value
to New Hampshire, then opinion of like
tenor fits Vermont rather accurately.
Dean II. c. Tinkham of the medical col
lege at Burlington has expressed his
views publicly that conspiracy" is
working to queeze the life out of the
smaller and less powerful medical schools
of the country; but whether that view
be well supported or not we miss our
guess completely if the people of Yer
mont allow themselves to be deprived of
the advantages of good medical col
lege such as Supt. Morrison insists New
Hampshire needs and which. therefore
Vermont needs just as much, the condi-
tons of the two states being very sim.
liar. Instead of tearing down, Vermont
ought to build up its medical school. for
Vermont in its growth and progress is
bound to need medical school more and
more with each passing year, and it
would be unwise 20 tear down the good
foundation already laid.

terson's reports; he was wise enough not
to report his own blunders. As chair
man of the street committee, he does
not tell us how he appointed that "as-
sistant superintendent" who, with "pipe
stuck in mouth and hands stuck in pock-
ets,n simply became fine laughing stock
with gangs OF workmen. Nor does he
tell us how, after digging up long
strip of the sidewalk on Eastern avenue
and another on Maple avenue, discov-
ering the appropriation would fall short,
he ordered the material which had been
shovelled out shovelled back in, when
new material could have been used just
as cheaply.
As if aware OF this bad record, does
not Citizen" try to polish it up with
stolen honors? He says that Patterson
is chairman of the water committee, and
that under his management never before
has it paid such surplus into the city
treasury. But, as matter of fact, Ho-
ban is chairman; Patterson only sec
ond; and everybody knows the masterfuI
manner in which the water department
was handled is wholly due to Water SUI
perintendent Reynolds. As one of the
water committee, Patterson himself gives
this honor to Reynolds. In their report
they bear witness to his expert "efficien-
cy." A little more cautious Mr.. Cit.
zen" Patterson may not relish the stol-
en- honor.
Again, "Citizen" claims that under Pat
terson's management great improvements
were made in the cemeteries. Yet Pat
terson was not member of the ceme-
terry committee and every atom of the
improvements was devised, planned, and
executed by the cemetery commissioners.
A little more cautious.
Once more, "Citizen" claims that Pat
terson made saving in the fire depart
ment. But does he not know that Pat
terson is not a member of the fire COM
mittees Does not everybody know that
the credit of excellent management in
that department is wholly due to Chief
Gladding and his assistants?
True, as claimed by "Citizen," Patter-
son encouraged Improvements on Wash
ington street, but does he not live on
that street himselff Did he not have
a bit of an axe to grind Is there not
a cement sidewalk on his side of the
street, none on the other?
True, Mr.. "Citizen," it is said that
stolen fruit is sweet" but is it quite
wise to suppose that by such sweetness
you can convince voters in ward two
against their will? Will they not be OF
the same opinion still!

ANGLING FOR THE STATE HOUSE.


We have noticed that a considerable
part of the opposition to the proposed
addition to the State House at Mont
pelier emanates from people who see in
the proposal a step toward anchoring
the state capitol to Montpelier, and
much of that sort of opposition centers
in and about the city of Burlington
where they have long sought to become
the head of the state. One correspondent
to the Burlington Free Press advances
as an argument against further building
at Montpelier that there is no room, in
asmueh as the present State House is
built against the side of a hill, forgetting
that there is more than one point to
the compass and that the state property
could be extended on either wing by the
very same method which he proposed to
use in securing site in the city of Bur
lington--by condemnation proceedings.
This correspondent made the proposition
that the State House be located in the
block Of land having Main and Church
streets as its northerly and easterly
boundary lines, all the present buildings
on those streets to be RACED with the
exception of the hotel Vermont. In 9TH
err words, such a proposal would be to
make the State House more or less of
an annex to the hotel. Let the voters
say. And in having that say, let the
voters keep their vision on the main is
sue, which is, that the state of Vermont
needs more building accommodations at
Montpelier, at the same time RELOCATING
to its proper place of Importance the
argument advanced against the PROPOSE
tion which comes from ambitious com
munities in other parts of the state.

STREET ACCOUNTS OPEN.
And All Citizens Are Invited to Inspect

Editor, Times:
Referring to a communication in yes

ing questions about the street depart
ment, it would seem that if "CitizenH
wishes to get facts concerning the street
department, that the proper place to
go, would be to the street department
office instead of inquiring of the editor
of The Times. Since his questions were
addressed to the editor, the street de-
partment does not feel called upon to
answer the same, but wish to state, that
If Citizen" whoever he is, or any other
person will come to the street depart
ment office, he will get his questions sat
isfactorily answered, and will have the
liberty of thoroughly examining the
books OF the department, which show
to which sub-department all money was
charged or credited, and whether it was
to new work or maintenance or for labor
or material. He can see for himself how
much the accounts are padded.
Respectfully,
Street Department.

REPLY TO CITIZEN
Ward Two Voter Thinks Honors Given
Patterson Were Not Earned.

Editor. Barre Daily Times:
"Citizen" says the facts / stated, show
ing that Patterson's record is badly
against him, are untrue" Yet those
very facts are in Patterson's reports as
printed in the city report. If "Citizen"
win read the reports he will know the
facts are true. By reading them, every
voter in ward two will know the facts
are true. To say they are not true re-
fleets on Patterson's honesty. He is
father of them and should teach "Citi-
zen" to be cautious about publishing
such stuff. 1t only makes bad mat
ter worse

TELLS TERRIBLE STORY
OF MURDER AND THEFT
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRu.l


New York, Jan. 28.--Calm recital of
the part he had played in two murders,
a score of dynamitings and the abduc
tion of girls for white slavers was given
in Judge Rosalsky's court here yester.
day by Alfred Lohman aged 90 years.
Operations Of an alleged desperate black
hand gang which, the police believe,
deserted Lohman after he had thrown
bomb into the plant at Lyndhurst,
N. Jy of Klee & Co., were laid bare.
Lohman appeared before Judge Rosal-
sky as the principal witness against
Angelo Sylvestro, charged with plant
ing a bomb in a Houston street tene-
ment house. Lohman declared he had
participated in a score of dynamitings,
had burned two Brooklyn houses for
the insurance and had participated in
two murders. The motive for one of
the murders, he said was robbery. In
the other he said, he and two associ-
ates were paid 80 each for killing a
Chinese.
Asked if he ever regretted taking
human life, Lohman said:
"Why, no. 1t was the same to me
as killing insects"
Rocco Pueblo testified that he had
placed bombs in 35 places. He said
he had little regard for human life and
admitted he had received from $50 to
500 for each bomb "planted." "

MISSOURI WOMEN ARE
FIGHTING FOR BALLOT
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1Rn.I


Columbia, NO., Jan. 2S.--With suf-
frage to East of them and suffrage to
West of them, Missouri suffragists are
today organizing campaign which
they expect will secure "Votes for Mis-.
souri, women" and make "white
strip" on the equal suffrage map from
Indiana to Utah. Initiative petitions
for a vote suffrage amendment to the
constitution today are being circulated
in two,thirds of the Congressional dis
tricts of the state and more than half
of the $4,000 signatures necessary have
already been secured, according to Mrs.
Walter McNab Miller, of Columbia,
Md, president of the Missouri Equal
Suffrage Association.
Many people have the wrong idea
of woman suffrage" said Mrs, Miller.
" Missouri women are not going into
this campaign with any feeling of an
tagonism. We feel that the men have
too much to do. We have been asking
our husbands in the past to earn the
living and at the same time carry the
burden of public life. -
The amendment to the Missouri con
stitution which the women expect to
submit to the men of the state by an
initiative petition follows:
Females shall hereafter have the
same right under the same conditions
to vote at all elections held in this state
as males now have or may hereafter
