A SIGNIFICANT TENT.

Those acquainted with the late Joseph
Eattell, who knew Of his diosyn-
cracies through personal association
or otherwise, will see a significance
in the words of the Scripture taken
yesterday by President John NJ.
Thomas as the text of his baccalaure-
ate sermon to the graduating class Of
Middlebury college: 'And when his
friends heard of it they went out to
Law hold on him, for they said, he is
beside himself " The words have a
still greater significance when eX-
planned by President Thomas: "Our
Master is not the only benefactor who
has undergone suspicion as to perfect
sanity and balance of judgment. Many
of the worlds most gifted men have
been thought insane, and some of them
have gone through life without gaining
their friends confidence as to their per-
feet control of mind
1t is possible that DR.. Thomas did not
have in mind the many pecuiarities,
characteristics, the sensitive tenn
permanent of the generous benefactor
of Middlebury and Middlebury's col
lege when he selected his text, but
the words of the Gospel according to
Mark illustrate exactly the frame of
mind which prevailed for many years as
to the efforts OF Joseph Battell.
1t is no secret that many of his
neighbors, piqued at times because of
the erratic action Of Mr.. Battell, were
quick to account for his sayings and
doings by tapping their heads. Such
reference to the man was an insult.
His was a temperament which ordinary
individuals could not appreciate. Yet
he possessed heart which beat stronger
for humanity than many within the
breasts of those whose cheap wit gave
them license to challenge his mentality.
The Herald knew Joseph Battell for
many years and while it has often in a
spirit of jocular criticism referred to
his works or, at times, condemned his
policy on some public matter, it never,
for moment doubted his intelligence,
his honesty, his sincerity of purpose or
his sanity.
His motto was 1.-THE good, the beau

tiful and the true " No stronger tes-
timonial to the mans strength Of
character is needed than the lines which,
to him, paid the highest tribute to
womanhood -
Here the ineffable
Wrought is in love;
The ever womanly
Draws US above"
1t is not out of place to recall an
appreciation written by a Vermont
newspaper man few years ago of Mr.
Battell, in which Middlebury's distin-
guished citizen was dealt with in a
frank, perhaps breezy and facetious,
way. The article closed with the sug-
gestion that when the curtain should
fall on the final act of Mr. Battel' s
career the town of Mddlebury should
erect a monument to his memory. fail
ure so to do ought to be sufficient for
revoking the towns charter. The ar
ticle was written by a man who knew
Joseph Battell, who labored with him
and for him

INCREASE OF OFFICES.
Middlebury, Vt.

To the Editor of the Register:
The Addison County court adjourned
Tuesday, June 10, at $3.50 o clock in tn
afternoon after recess since the pre-
ceding Friday. There was one jury
trial of liquor case during the term.
Most of the rest of the time was spent
in uncoupling people who had entered
the bonds of matrimony. The writer
hopes the people of the State will see
the folly of having an overworked and
underpaid judiciary and congratuates
the people of the county on the fact
that they have been able, to so large an
extent, to settle their differences
among themselves. 1t is the belief of
the writer that it would not be dis
tasteful to the bar association if the
legislature of 1917 would create two, or
possibly five, additional judgeships.
This would do much to relieve the ex-
cessive strain of the present incum-
bents.
When Addison county's foremost
citizen, the Hon. John w. Stewart, now
in his ninetieth year, and the late Hon.
E. Ray Hard We're active members of
the Addison County bar, the litigation
was of quite as much Importance as it is
now. At first during their era six and
later seven judges did the work. Not
only in the judicial department but in
every department of the State govern
ment there seems to be systematic
effort to create more offices for the
hungry and the faithful.
In the opinion of the writer the Rut-
land Herald stands for taking from the
people the right to control their schools,
and all this proposed abridgment of
the rights of the people means more ex-
pense for which there is no adequate
return.

From all accounts at hand of the
automobile accident, the second one in
the immediate vicinity inside of two
days, wherein an alumnus of Dartmouth
college was killed and two other class
mates We're severely injured at West
Lebanon, n. H., Monday night, it would
seem that the driver of the car was
criminally careless. The fact that a
charge of manslaughter was at once
preferred against him indicates that
the chauffeur is likely to be punished
for his criminality Certainly, if the
occupants of the car protested against
the reckless and excessive speed at
which the man at the wheel was driv-
ing, as is stated was the case, and he
was deaf to their protests, his culpa-
bility is magnified.
