\ correspondent in the Chicago
Herald compared the execution of Miss
Cavell, the British nurse in Belgium
to the execution OF Mrs. Surratt Tor
her share in the successful plot to
assassinate President Abraham Lincoln
The Herald adds interest to the un-
iustifable comparison by volunteering
this admirable comparison. Mrs.
Surratt was charged with
crime of great moral turpitude OF all
crime assassination or plot to assas-
snate ranks justly among the most in
famous. 1t Is one CT the few crimes
deemed sufficient in maignancy and
moral turpitude to cause even the fact
that the criminal is woman to have
much less than its usual weight While
efforts have been made to question the
extent of Mrs. Surratt s guilt and the
Justice CT her execution, it is certain
that the court which condemned her
was convinced that she had partici-
pated in a willful murder. There is
plainly a moral gulf as wide as the
ocean between Mrs. Surratt 5 crime
and the charge on which Miss Cavell
was condemned. Miss Cavell 5 act was
the result of the woman s instinct to
save and succor. The act had rare no.

standardize them would result in a
saving annually of $20,0o0,o0o. The
railroads are slow about waking up to
the value of standardizing. Where we
now have a standard guage for
track there used to be three. Coup
lings only a few years ago were in a
variety of sizes and heights, and prob
ably would be today if congress had
not got after the railway companies.

the scientists seem to be learning
something occasionally.

The only contest at the polls today
in Vermont will be over Burlington S
city charter revision, which embraces
the election of mayor, viee-mayor
and six councilmen instead of mayor
and II aldermen as at present, who are
to be elected on ticket representing
the whole city instead of by wards as
now. Moreover, they are to be elected
without party designation and directly
by the people without an intervening
caucus, every man who can secure the
signature of 100 names to his petition
OF nomination having a right to run
for any Office. Another new departure
IS the provision for purchasing
agent. The Burlington voters will act
wisely if they adopt the proposed
change, which will 90 a long way to-
ward eliminating partisan politics in
municipal affairs.

S SENSE

Sense is an important cog in the human
intellect which never strips a gear in the
mud or sand. 1t has enabled many a man
to overcome stiff grade without knock
ing or straining his powerplant with prom
issory notes.
There are several kinds of sense in com
mon use, the most valuable of which is
ordinary horse. This is an exceedingly
rare variety, and is more precious than
beauty, brains or the ability to sing in the
English language SO that it will not be con
founded with a Russian folk song. People
who have been endowed by nature with
several thick layers of horse sense seldom
have to call at the bank and pay dark,
forbidding, eight per cent note signed for
some near relative who desired to engage in
the dry goods business without knowing
crepe de chine from chinchilla.
As a general thing, women have more
sense than men, owing to the fact that
they are not allowed to handle any money
and therefore are prevented from investing
it in projects which leave nothing in their
wake but memory and the sinking fund.
/ If it were not for the sense that some
women are blessed with, their husbands
would put large red-lined plaster in fine

a prospectus in four colors. If the women
of this country had more to say about how
the pay-check should be expended the

Business sense is the kind which enables
man to tell where the new interurban viii

kind of way before the city council can

fortunes have been made by combining
business sense with a few million dollars
bequeathed by people who had no further
use for it This kind of sense is valuable
in every walk in life, from buying a see
ond-hand automobile to going into part
nership with total stranger. Nine-tenthz
of the failures which litter up Dun's and
Bradstreet's poems of passion are due tC
Il shortage of sense and a surplus of book
accounts One of the best evidences OF
business sense is the ability to refuse credit

the Milky Way to the county line anC
who never pays for anything except lubri

BELLOWS FALLS

Albert Walleek, 6. son of George
Walleck of 16 George street. was
struck by an automobile in front
of the Methodist church last night
at 80 clock and sustained Sc
we're bruises and several cuts on the

is a Pole. Neither the number of the
machine nor the identity of its owner
were obtained, although the driver
stopped to see if the child was seri-
ously injured.
An accident involving another six

Rockingham street Friday afternoon
shortly after ; clock Richard Cohan
of Green street and another boy the
same age, were on Rockingham street
when Harvey Vieno, who drives a pub
lie automobile, approached them. The
Cohan boy ran in front of the ma
chine and the driver cried to him to
get out of the way. The boy stood
still and Vieno was forced to drive his
machine over the sidewalk and into
the fence at the top of the railroad
bank. The mudguard just grazed the
boy S arm, but did not injure him. The
machine struck the fence and knock
ed down a post and the top rails for
distance of several feet The fence
is at the top of a 40-foot bank and the
driver barely managed to keep his
machine from going over. The front
wheels were down the incline and If

Recently Mrs. Davis broke up house

paid for the board of the children, and
asked that his mother have charge OF
them during the school year. The chill

A Wonderful Business Woman.
springfield Republican,

A very capable woman died in Gin
cinnati, the other day, and left an
amount estimated at $7O0,000 to the
local symphony orchestra, and so CON
ferred an enduring benefit upon the
people of her city. Miss Cora Dow
began as a drug clerk in her father s
small pharmacy at the age of q, and
took over his business at his death.
She proved to be more capable than
her parent. One by one she bought
up Cincinnati drug stores until she
had secured chain of II stores, all
on important street corners. Miss
Dow made herself a business factor to
be reckoned with, and shortly be-
fore her death sold her drug store
properties. 1t was believed that she
received $100O,0o0 for them, and law
yers who probated her will estimate
that the estate viii be worth double
that amount. In her business opera
tions Miss Dow was known as NJ c.
Dow There are plenty of morals to
be drawn from this career, and one Of
them is that in all business life the
personal equation is the most import

Russian Contract Makes Houses Scarce.

Because of the increased number of
employees at the plant of the Vermont
Farm Machine company it is no easy
matter for persons who are house
hunting to find location. Work on
the $650.0o0 contract for Russian
shrapnel is now fairly under way at
the plant and many strangers are in
town. Fifty shells made at the local
plant were sent to Canada for tests
and it is reported by the employees of
the local plant that the report received
on them was that they were better
than any other shells made in this
country under the contract of the Ca
madam Car and Foundry company,
which was awarded the original con
tract of several million dollars. New
grinders and lathes have been installed
in the plant here and the work of MAX
ing the shells is being rushed. Day
and night forces are being worked.
