~ AN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-After
enjoying few years of privacy
~ that should prove "soothing and
comforting" to man who has
led turbulent career in pursuit of the
bubble fame, Bob Fitzsimmons is back
in the swirl of pugilism with both feet.
He has crowded all manner of ex-
periences into few short weeks. He
has applied for reinstatement as an
able-bodied fist finger, and has been
turned down by boxing commissions and
courts of last resort. He has been
knocked out by his own son, and has
in turn all but Knocked out 'white
hope by the name of Sweeny.
He declares now that while New
York may bar its gates against him,
he will wander all over the boxing cir.
cult and will accept engagements as
often as they are offered him. He seems
TO possess all the ardor that was his
when he landed from Australia with a
slab-sided carpet bag and a huge pair
of freckled hands a quarter of CEN
tury ago.
What the future holds for Ntzsim-
mons it is difficult to say, but I'll
warrant recital of things he does
from time to time Will make interest
ing reading. In addition to his other
useful attributes Bob was always a
klngpin advertiser.
Many Vacations.
Few men on this terrestrial footstool
have played moro parts in life COM
edy, He has been fighter, blacksmith,
actor. farmer, professor of physical
culture, author, trainer of snakes, ponies
and wild animals, to say nothing OF
other occupations which the writer has
for the time being forgotten.
Even while L write / recall one of
Bob Fitzsimmons fads, He bossomed
out one time as a patent medicine pro-
prietor. He hit upon a cure for rheum-
atism, and those who used it said that
after one application rheumatism was
the least of your troubles. You had
other things to think about
Once while travelling by rail Bob
forgot the formula Of his rheumatism

clerk

The decision of Edward II. Dpavitt
of Montpelier not to be Il candidate
again for the Office of state treasurer
has opened the way for the merry men
toner to bring forward a long list of
possible candidates, which includes
Edward \. Davis, cashier Of the White
River Junction bank Of Bethel; Walter
+. Scott, cashier of the Brandon Ma
tional bank; Charles w. Ruiter. cash
Ter of the Merchants National bank of
st. } ohnsbury; Charles II. Strong, cash
Ter of the Ner9ennes National bank;
Thomas II. Cave, ir., former cashier
Of the National bank of Barre; Luther
A. Cobb of Island Pond, former bank
commissioner; and Fuller G. Smith of
st. Adams, former national bank cx-
aminer. Probably most Of these men
are in a receptive condition, but the
appearance of Mr.. Scott at the meet
ing of the Republican leaders recent
" indicates that he is actively in the
field. Cave has one advantage over
the other candidates, having been dep
uty treasurer two years.

People who have had the mistaken idea
that railroad free passes were things of
the unwholesome past will be interested
in the report of the Interstate commerce
commission that two Nashville roads last
year distributed free passes representing
more than 100000 miles of travel, val
ued at $34O, 2G061, to more than 81 200
individuals in every walk of life, including
congressman, other United States officials
state legislators and other state officials
and Judges Considering the object and
the effect of the distribution of these
favors, the commission is justified in call
ing the distribution of free transportation
by railroads "a menace to the institutions
of a free people"

The MeddIer
IF the coat fits goa, put it on"

One does not have to make an extended
tour of Brattleboro to get an impression
of the bad condition Of the highways
throughout the village. In fact, a little
journey up and down Main street should
be sufficient to convince almost anyone of
the need Of a change in policy with re-
gard to the construction and care of our
thoroughfares. This statement is intend
ed in no way as a criticism of the present
road commissioner, who no doubt is do
ing the very best he can with the funds
at his disposal and the Iegacies that he
has inherited from previous administra-
tons. 1t is not to be expected that an
official whose term of office Is of but a
years duration can do anything more
than use the money the town appropri-
ates to the best of his ability There is
no satisfaction for him in attempting to
inaugurate a lasting policy for the very
simple reason that there is no certainty
that the policy viii last. To illustrate:
Commissioner Walker has built this year
a short section Of new macadam on Main
street because with the money available
that was the only thing which could be
done, but he is convinced that the only
proper way to improve that thoroughfare
permanently is by laying some form of
pavement. Furthermore, he has been
obliged to spend quite little money (and
will have to spend more) on the Chestnut
Hill road, which was built new last year
under a contract negotiated by the select
men and should have needed little if any
further attention but for inexcusable neg
lect on the part of those whose business
it was to see that it was constructed prop
! erly. These instances give some idea of
how hopeless it is to expect anything in
the way of permanent highway improve
ment under the present system. And they
serve to add weight to the contention
that Bratteboro will never have efficient
government as long as affairs are in the
hands of so many officials The sooner
taxpayers abolish the present wheel
within-a-wheel> arrangement the sooner
they may expect to see reductions in their
| tax bills

So far as is known locally no steps have
been taken toward calling a special meet
ing to determine the towns present atti-

1t has been rumored in some quarters
that such a meeting was not necessary in
view of the towns vote several years
ago. but this is not the case, The $4,000
which was appropriated cannot be raised
except by bonds and no provision for a
bond issue has been made Whether the
friends of the new armory proposition are
anxious to test the towns sentiment at
the present time is doubtful question,
but in fairness to other Vermont towns
