IN LAST HOURS

gave the movement much desired inn
petus and the signs as manifested at
the meeting last night were altogether
encouraging. D. M. Miles, one of the
vice chairmen of the citizens committee,
presided, and Rev. J. w. Barnett asked
the invocation. After supper DR.. Bar
nett was called upon for few remarks
and he responded with message Of
cheer and handful of we'll pointed sto-
ries for his hearers. He urged them to
yield to nothing in their endeavor to
raise the desired amount by tonight.
Returns from Barre City as well as the
outside towns were of the most encour-
aging sort. Workers in the outlying
towns were not idle yesterday, nor were
their co-workers here in the city resting
on their oars
Honors among the mems teams were
evenly divided between Peter Desautels
and Frank T.. Robinson. Captain Robin
son was awarded the pennant for seeur-
ing the largest amount and the bunting
offered the team gaining the largest
number of subscriptions went to Captain
Desautels. Both banners were wrested
from Captain Perry's camp. Among the
local teams it was "ladies" day again,
for the women turned in the largest to-
tai amount and for the time being the
men were relegated to comfortable seats
in the rear. Mrs. N. j. Morrison's squad
of canvassers carried away the flag Of
fered for the highest amount and Mrs.
Grant A. Lane again won the banner
that goes to the team securing the larg
est number of subscribers. The flags
were gracefully transferred to the win
ners by Mrs. A, w. Aliens team, over
whose turrets the buntings had waved
since the night prior. Many little fea-
lures added to the gayety of the get
together last night and combined to keep
high the spirits of the workers. Mrs
II. r. Bradley brought the house down
with happy little poem. Mrs. Brad
ley's verses were q tribute to Mr.. Fen
ell, the campaign director, who was
awarded the well-merited title, ''1he
Man of the Hour" The verses proved
that the poetic talent here
in the city is not segregated in any one
particular quarter. Captain Mercer re-
ported on the burlesque basketball game
of the night before and thanked the
workers who eo-operated in making the
affair a success.

The French Crisis.

The murder OF CASTOR Calmette, the
veteran editor of the Paris Figaro.
promptly assumes national Importance.
IL has precipitated a crisis in the
French republic which may yet be far
reaching. The prominence OF the prin-
cipals in the tragedy, the bitterness of
the political campaign which preceded,
the apparent revelation of duplicity and
treachery on the part of Caillaux, the
minister OF finance. the ealleusness of
the crime, have shaken France. The
French temperament has done the rest
But with all its political entangle.
ments there is little OF the "assassina-
ton" in the sordid crime. Ii was not a
logical or even a possible elimination
of the Calmette-Cailaux feud The bit
terness engendered f,y the editors per-
sistent attacks. with the final publica-
tion of personal letter which appar-
emily furnished the proof of all his ac-
cusation, might at worst have preci-
pitated duel. And tie outcome of this
common method of settling disputes of
honor is rarely fatal
The public Indignation growing out
of the crime has cruelty fastened some
of the responsibility on Cailloux him
self. The injustice of this burden is
revealed in his impulsive cry: Madame,
you have ruined me forever as he first
faced his wife in-her cell And to les
ser degree the whole Dounmergue min
istry suffers.
For Madame Caillaux the extenuation
of a patriotic motive can scarcely be al
legged. She is in no sense daughter
of Charlotte Corday. The murder was
committed in cold-blood. The remorse-
lessness and cruelty of the slayer con
trasts sharply with the courtesy of her
victim. She may be insane. That would
be the most charitable explanation. The
only patriotism and courage revealed
by the tragedy were shown by Calmette

institution to the belief that the entire
sum needed to realize Mr.. Calef's con-
ditional gift will be raised by July j.
One-tifth of the desired amount already
has been subscribed as the result of the
quiet effort being made and the work is
being prosecuted with steady determine
ton. With the debt on the new build
ing wiped out and with the endowment
fund increased to 100000 through the
George w. Berry bequest of $4,000, the
institution would find itself in first
class condition, as regards finances.
Therefore, it is worth an extra effort to
collect subscriptions enough to round out
the balance of the sum needed to meet
the Calef offer.

Careless Law Making.

Massachusetts, to-day has no statute
fixing the date for the assessment of
taxes and until there is new legislation
the assessors viii have no power to as
sess taxes. In 1908 the legislature
passed an act entitled "An Act to Change
the Date for the Assessment of Taxes
and the Listing and Registration of
Voters" acts 1909, chapter 40, and by
that statute the date of assessment was
changed from May to April /. After
this act became law the codification of
taxes act of 1909 became effective and
in that act the date of May ] appeared
throughout, but in the final section
tchapter 400, part ", section 27l, it was
provided that nothing in the act should
be construed as repeating or in any other
way affecting any other legislature
passed in the year 1909. so as practical
matter the latter statute was amended
by an earlier statute. There was some
doubt about the validity of this but no
one raised the question and taxes were
thereafter assessed as of April ! and the
bills paid. In 1918. however, the legisla-
ture saw fit to eOdifv the laws relative
to primaries, caucuses and elections

sos repealed chapter 44O of the acts of
1909. forgetting apparently that it APP
piled as well to taxation as to the list
ing and registration of voters, and not
content with this they provided that
such repeal shall not revive any law
heretofore repealed or superseded, so that
we cannot 90 back TO the old date of
May but are left floating in mid-air
without any enforceable tax laws until
the legislature sees fit to act, There is
a bill for the purpose now before the

One only mournful thing about the
approaching political campaign in Yer

The Bellows Falls Times is to be CON
graduated on escaping very serious dam
age by fire and water earlier in the week
when a fire broke out on the third floor
of the building occupied by the news
paper plant. Even though the flames
did not reach that part of the building
which was occupied by the presses and
other equipment of the newspaper, the
water which had to be poured into the
structure leaked down through the I'M
der floors and caused considerable loss
to paper stock. That was bad enough,
as anyone knows, who has tried to print
q newspaper on damaged stock. But the
situation might have been much worse
than it is. Hence, the Bellows Falls
contemporary has great deal to be
thankful for while getting out late edi-
ton this week

for a survey of the st. Johns river
for a waterway connecting the Kis-

The other proposed amendment
provides for survey of the Waccisa

of Florida. including an estimate of
the cost of a dam across Wiccissa

OPPOSED TO EXEMPTION
Pauncefote-Hay Treaty will be Up
held by the President

Washington, Jan. 2S.-That Pres
ident Wilson is vigorously opposed to
the exemption from toll charges of
American coastwise ships passing
thru the Panama canal was asserted
at the Capitol yesterday after the
conference at the White House be-
tween the President and the Senate
foreign relations committee
1t was admitted by one OF the Sen
atcrs who attended last nights eau
Gus that the President plainly out
lined his position On the tolls ques-
ton, and that his views inclined to
that taken by Great Britain relative
20 the provision exempting American
coastwise ships from canal tolls ani
that the president would make public
his position in the near future.
Twp Ways Out of the Difficulty
What the president will recon-
mend was not disclosed. However
two ways are open for at least tenn
poraTy settlement of the issue that
might reach the views of the leader
! One was the repeal of the exemption
,'clause.
The other would be the passage of
! the pending Adamson resolution
which would suspend for two years
operation of the exemption clause,
in order to demonstrate whether the
| canal would be self-sustaining with
out tolls.
1t was said that the president was
not opposed to tolls as such, but he
was strongly Of the opinion that they
would create a precedent which
/ would not square with the provis-
ionsssaof the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
What Does Entire Equality Mean
Contention between the United
States and Great Britain concerning
! the Panama canal has turned on the
construction Of article three of the
Hay-Pauneefote treaty, which pro-
vides:
The canal shall be free and open
to the vessels of commerce and oi
: war of all nations observing these
rules, on terms of entire equality, sc
that there. shall be no discrimination
against any such nation or it's citi
) zens or subjects with respect to tbs
, conditions or charges Of traffic ant
otherwise. Rules for traffic shall be
just and equitable"
. Great Britain contends that tht
.. clause "entire equality was to b.
; taken literally. The Panama cana
. act, while providing equality of ira IL
!. on trans-oceanic traffic exempted
American eoastwise vessels. Sir Ed
. ward Gray, British minister of for
. eign affairs. asserted this was con
: trary to the language OF the treaty
. The attitude OF the Wilson admins
, tration hal not been known up t.
!. the conference, when, according l
. the outline they obtained, Mr.. vii
!. sen supports the view Of equality 0
: treatment under the treaty.
