DIR. Flint, the expert alienist for the
government in the Thaw trial, stated
that the defendant was suffering from
" constitutional inferiority," but when
asked what constitutional inferiority
meant replied that he did not know,
but he thought it fitted the case. Expert
testimony has become a joke through
out the land. 1t can prove almost any
thing if the lawyers have chance to
talk with the experts before they 90
on the witness stand. If Dr. Flint had
been naval officer he would have ex-
planned Thaw's condition by saying he
was suffering from structural weak
ness.

wILFRED F. ROOTS SUCCESS.
Great Popularity of Plan to Sell Medi-
cine at Half price and Guarantee q
Cure,

Wilfred F. Root, the enterprising
druggist, rather than await the ordinary
methods of introduction, urged the DR..
Howard Co. to secure quick sale for
their celebrated specific for the cure
of constipation and dyspepsia by offer
ing the regular soc bottle at half-priee.
The wonderful success of this plan
was great surprise even to Mr.. Root
and today there are scores of people
here in Brattleboro who are using and
praising this remarkable remedy.
So much talk has been caused by this
offer, and so many new friends have
been made for the specific that the DR..
Howard Co. have authorized Druggist
Root to continue this special half price
sale for limited time longer.
In addition to selling a soc bottle of
DIR. Howard s specific for 25c Mr. Root
has so much faith in the remedy that
he will refund the money to anyone
whom it does not cure.

George f. Edmunds, who represent
cd Vermont as United States senator
fron 1856 until he resigned his posi-
ton III 1891, has sent to President
Wilson an open letter of comment on
the latest German note Describing
himself us one of the % per cent OF
the grown up and intelligent people
Of the country who have gladly sup
ported the President in his efforts to
mitigate the intrinsic evils and hor-
to defend our citizens IN the exercise
Of long-establshed rights of neutrals,
he regards the German note as an at
tempt to Justify or else to evade re-
sponsibility for the slaughter of our
civilian citizens which it has know
ingly committed. He advises that we
cease our futile correspondence with
Germany, withdraw our ambassador and
send to the German ambassador his
passports. Mr.. Edmunds is 81 wears
old and is now living in retirement in
Pasadena, California. He says he is
an old man who has long worn the
badge of the Massachusetts Peace So
ciety, but he can no longer endure the
awful spectacle without an expression
OF opposition to further discussion I'M
der the present circumstances. Mr.
Edmunds was for years one of the
great leaders in national affairs, but
was never classed as a radical, and his
comment for this reason will attract
wide attention.

Another thing which Principal Smith
advocates, and of which The Meddler
heartily approves, is the reorganization of
the local schools on the so-called 'Esix and
six plan This could be done by drop

schools at the six year period, making the
first SIX years the elementary division and
the last six the secondary or high school
DIVISION. There are numerous advantages
to this system (Which is now in effect in
hundreds of towns and cities) and it has
the approval of the best educational au-
thortles. 1t sets the change from elemen-
|tary to secondary education at more
normal period in the child's life, gives OBJ
portunlty for the promotion of pupils by
subjects instead of by grades, brings boys
under the influence of men teachers at a
time when that influence is most needed.
and shortens the number of years neces-
sary to complete school This last consid-

Smiths advocacy of the establishment of
a course in domestic science, but expresses
the belief that 'they cannot be carried out
successfully until additional space is pro-
vided for in the high school building by
the removal of the lower grades to the
new school house to be erected eventually
on the Hines property Considering
both recommendations, perhaps this is
true, but why, The Meddler feels con-
strained to inquire, is it necessary to have
increased room in order to abolish grade.
Without being pessimistic it may be pre-
dlcted that some time will elapse before
the voters of the district will feel like ap-
appropriating money for another school
house. Meanwhile progress in educational
efficieney-and by this The Meddler means
more consideration for the 81 per cent of
school children who never go to college

the right thing to do in such cases, and,
probably, inadequate protection outside

favor of abolishing the village entirely and

THE VITAL PROBLEM Of
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until 1t is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent $3.50, 100000 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
OF agriculture.
The problem Is a monumental one
and one which viii never be solved
until it gets within the grasp Of
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom OF the age
upon it. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there Is In farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection 10
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other. We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and COM
mercial agencies seeking to help US,
continue to give US their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side or our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by over-production of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load
ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul-
ture by glutting the market with a
surplus Of products.

SUPPRESSED REPORT
Defends Action by Saying None Of
Other Boards Made Public
Any of Reports.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a. - Sec'y
Of the Navy Daniels Thursday cap
itulated to the demand for publ
cation of the suppressed report of
the navy general board. He said he
would consider the advisabilit of
giving the report to the press for
publication Monday morning
The secretary admitted that the
suppressed July report was made
at the direction Of Pres't Wilson
who requested the expert advice OF
the general board as TO what the
navy must be in the future" to stand
on equality with other naval pow
ers.
This request was made by the
president after the second Lusitania
note had been sent to Germany and
relations with that nation were
strained to the breaking point
The general board met this re-
quest by submitting a program de-
signed to make the navy equal to
the most powerful maintained by
any other nation Of the world" by
not later than 1925.
Sec'y Daniels defended his action
in suppressing the July report of
the general board by declaring that
none of his predecessors had made
public any of the reports of the
general board while he had given
out the three annual reports made
to him by the board.

GRANDSON OF LESLIE
LOSES IN WILL SUIT
Court Rules He is Not Next OF
Kin OF Baroness
De BaSsus.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2A.-Surrogate
Fowler Thursday decided that
Arthur Leslie. grandson of Frank
Leslie. the former publisher is not
one OF the next Of kin of Mrs. Frank
Leslie, known as the Baroness De
Bassus. The surrogate denied young
Leslie's application TO set aside the
decree prObating Mrs. Leslie's will.
Mrs. Leslie willed the bulk Of her
50, 600, 900 estate to Mrs. Carrie
Champman Gait for the cause of
woman suffrage. This will was ad-
mitted TO probate after all inter
ested parties had been cited.
Arthur Leslie contended that. as
Mrs. Leslie had no next OF kin Of
her own, the next Of kin Of her hus-
band are entitled TO contest her will.
In presenting proof young LesHe's
lawyers maintained that Mrs. Leslie
was the daughter Of a white father
and a Negress mother. The surro-
gate, in overruling all of the points,
said:
1T is only in cases where pedigree
is directly involved that pedigree
evidence is admissible. This is not
such a case. Mr.. Leslies heirs at
law have no interest in the deter
mination Of Mrs. Leslie's heirs at
