WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
A Bet.

A Bet.
In a purely sporting spirit. The
Herald offers to bet sap-spout
against butternut that % there will
be no special session of the legisla-
ture, (2) the governor will appoint
full supreme court to take office in
December and 81 the justice thereof
will hold office for two years. -Rut-
land Herald.
That Booming.
The Newport Express and Standard
Lake Memphremagog like dynamite
explosions or the sullen boom of
'unslacked lime in bottles. The
contemporary. however, is doubtless
mistaken in believing this the work of
fish poachers. It is more likely the
progressive movement in revolt against
amalgamation Rutland Herald.
A "CaterpilIar Sunday" Now.
To-day the Journal received by
telephone the suggestion that all people
who habitually absent themselves from

ton is a good one--and heaven might
not froWn if after service some of the
congregations turned out to assist.

Vail Might Help LyndonvilIe.
Lyndonville ought to invoke the aid
of its distinguished citizen, Theodore
N. Vail, toward retaining the shops
of the Boston and Maine railroad
road in spite Of the recommendation of
the economy expert. Here is chance
for Mr.. Vail to do little service to
Vermont. as the retention of the loco

Id. Haz zen.
Lucius c. Hazen of st. Johnsbury,
just deceased. will be longest remem-
bered for his acts as legislator and
state penal commissioner. When he
was a member of the state senate g
bill introduced by him established the
state free public library commission
When he was penal commissioner the
body of which he was a member
abolished the lockstep and striped
clothing for prisoners. In both cases
Mr.. Hazen participated in an advance
movement.-Rutland News.
Control of Employees When off Duty.
And so the Ford welfare experiment
is not liked by the men! The five
dollars day for floor sweepers is al
right, but insisting that the sweepe
shall not drink when he gets out of tn
shop, shall treat his wife kindly an,
keep his back yard clean is resented
