Senator Simonds, who introduced
the bill, said it had three objects-to

to one typographical error. In figur

OF ten and five dollar weekly beneiltr
still hold.
Many changes of detail were rec
commended by both employers and en-
ployes, none of them radical.
The fear that the Industrial acct
dent board might be expensive was
expressed. In answer the work OF
the New York board was cited and
the Outlook was quoted, telling of

Stirring UP Trouble


An indication OF the feeling that
representative Perry's activities in
behalf of statewide prohibition have
aroused is found in the expressed in
tention of goodmanylocal men to
vote for license this year, Such 4
course could not be considered n
reasonable protest against the pro
hibition plan because local option
and license are by no means one ana
the same thing but the likelihood
that it may be adopted by consid'
cradle number of Brattleboro voters
ought to be a warning TO the local
nolicense forces.
From the first the Reformer has
viewed Mr. Perry's prohibition pro-
paganda with extreme regret. With
due respect to his opinion as to the

PLAN CRACK SECRET SERVICE
BUREAU FOR U. S.

: New York, Nov. 15-The U. S. will
have a secret service to match that
of any European nation within next
twelve months.
The need of such branch of gov
eminent, in whose service would be
included men in all walks of life, ac-
tually engaged in business or profess
sions or trades, as is the custom in
Europe, was made obvious by activ-
tiles of Teutonic agents here, who
are said to number 5000.
To make possible creation of such
a secret service, congress will be
asked to appropriate a sum reaching
into millions.
These secret service agents, it is
proposed, viii not have any badges,
cards or other means of identffca-
ton. They will be carried on payrolIs
only by number and their names win
be known only to their immediate
superiors.

Thompson, Chief Healey, Schuettler,
O'Brien and other local celebrities at
dinner recently are pushing a move
ment under disguise of citizen police
to enlist the and of one citizen to
every block, reckoning on 10000
citizens. If successful in such
scheme the paid police would loaf
more on their jobs and drink oftener.
The citizen scab, stool-pigeon, would
get nothing and the police get all the
credit for results.
