Court Notes

Judge Fish spent Sunday at his home
! in Vergennes. s.r.
Divorces have been the main topic at
court the past few days-several ground
out-with more to follow.
Charlie Potter had charge of the Pc
tiers Jury last week. By permission of
the court he was allowed to take his
charges to a show at the opera house
last Thursday night-a privilege they
enjoyed.
Judge Fish is somewhat of a pedes.
trian. He walks to Morrisville every
day at the close ofcourt and back again
the next morning. He finds the exercise
good and it also enables him to do bet
ter work in court.
The Peters trial brought to court a
great number of witnesses from Eden,
Lowell and Albany, the greater part of
them staying until the verdict was
brought in. And such people. Many
of them resembled the moutain whites of
the South.
That Jury which had the Ezra Peters
case in hand were kept together TWO
days and one night. They got along
fairly well when it came to sleeping in
the sky parlor at the court house-a
comfortable cot for each man, with plen
ty of fresh air; this latter provided by
Oscar Campbell, who insisted on open
ing the window. They didn't mind that
so much as they did his conversational
powers, which he kept up the greater
part of the night.

He Questions the Figures
NORTH TROY, Dec. II, 1915

| NORTH TROY, D"c. IL, 1919.
Editor News and Citizen: -
| DEAR Rim your issue of December
8 you say, "The Advance of last week
publishes list of the state funds paid
out during six days of November last.
The smallest sum was SO 65, to one In
dividual for cattle killed, and the largest
| sos, S7O.6S, to town superintendent.
We presume this latter amount is for one
months salary. 1t would seem that
some parts of our educational depart
ment comes rather high
Either you or the Advance has made a
mistake The number of superintendent
in the state is &c and the average salary
is somewhat under $17OO. The superin
tendents are paid in ten monthly Install
ments. If &c uperintendents receive
SOS, $40 6S for one months salary, what
is the average monthly salary of super
intendent? What is the average yearly
salary? gave this Advanced problem
to a fourth grade class the other day.
The class found that the monthly salary
would be somewhat over a thousand
dollars on ten payment plan and that
the yearly salary would be considerably
over ten thousand dollars. This would
seem to be some advance over actual
facts. Very truly yours,
w. c. McGINNIs.
The above is certainly very interest
ing letter and shows that Superintendent
McGinnis "is on his job" Nevertheless,
the Advance publishes this item and we
have no reason to doabt that it means
other than it says. which is Town Su-
perintendents. $6s, s7O.6s." For how
long a period this covers we do not
know. OF course it was an error to call
it one months salary. One year is what
was Intended. Even then, it is a good
sized amount.

urged to attend all of the meetings if
possible, or at least part of them, as they
are certainly worth while. Come to the

Red Cross Seals

The Red Cross seals have the signif-
canoe of the regular Christmas stamps;
but that does not begin to tell their story.
In addition to Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year greeting the Red Cross
seals typify as nothing else of their kind
does, the real Christmas spirit of love
and sympathy and service for brother
hood of suffering humanity. They carry
"A message of helpful interest to forlorn
hearts which cannot be directly reached,
however much we may be willing. They
give expression to the best Impulse that
comes from the heart of man-that OF
helpfulness to the unfortunate victims OF
poverty, misery and distress. They rep
resent real and potant effort to trans
late this spirit of helpfulness into efficient
service towards alleviating the sorrow
and suffering which follow in the train Of
the great white plague. They give JOY
alike to the heart of the sender and to tue
recipient, and help to save the life and
happiness of some less fortunate brother
beyond the personal reach OF either who
has already or who may become the vic
finn of tuberculosis. And tuberculosis is
so largely community sin.
Placed on correspondence and Christ
mas gifts, they carry at once a gladstone
message, a cherished hope and a sympa-
thy that cannot be misunderstood.

Death of Mrs. H. D. Monteith

Mrs. Helen D. Monteith, widow of
David Monteith, died in New York City
Friday, Dec 10th, following a surgical
operation She had been in poor health
for some time, but her friends did not an-
ticipate her demise so soon. After the
death of Mr.. Monteith, last March, she
went t., New York to reside with her
daughter, who was devoted to her, doing
everything to make her life in the city
congenial.
The remains were brought to Hyde
Park and on Monday morning the tuner
al was held at ST. Theresas church,
where a solemn requiem mass was Of
fered for the repose of her soul, Rev. FIR.
Kennedy officiating. The burial was in
the family plot in the village cemetery.
The bearers were Geo. Allen, Jas. Roddy.
Gavin Tyndall and Edmund Corbett.
There were several beautiful floral trib-
utes. The attendance of relatives and
friends was large, among those from out
of town being Mr.. and Mrs. Edmund
Corbett of Underhill. Mrs. Emma Hines
and son Lawrence of Johnson and Miss
Effie Page of New York City.
Mrs. Monteith was bora in Fairfield in
1847, a daughter of Peter and Mary
Cox. In early life she went to Biockton,
Mass, where, in 1871, she married Da-
vid Mouteith. That place and Dedham,
Mass, were their home until they came
to Hyde Park in 1908, purchasing the
farm known as 1.-The Naples" which
they greatly improved and where they
took great pleasure in receiving friends,
who always found their hospitality de-
cidedly cordial. In July last Mrs. Mon
teith visited the old home and then ex.
pressed the wish that she might at some
future time again occupy the home to
which she had become greatly attached.
1t was therefore very fitting that her re-
mains be brought here and placed al
most under the shadow of the home she
loved so well and where so many happy
wears were spent. She was a member OF
the Daughters of Vermont and took
great pride in her native state.
Mrs. Monteith is survived by a son,
Arthur of Portland, Oregon, a daughter,
Miss Beulah of New York City, three
sisters, Miss Jennie Cox of Underhill,
Miss Margaret Cox of St. Adams, Mrs.
Agnes Corbett of Underhill, one brother,
Peter Cox of California, and uieces and
nehpews. To the bereaved ones sincere
sympathy goes out from many friends.

Take a Good Man or Get T. r d.
From the Rutland Herald

FIOm
In letter to the Morrisville Messen.
ger, an infatuated gentleman from Plain.
field, N. j., berates the Ancient for fall
ing in behind the "old machine news.
papers" in searching for a Republican
candidate for President next year. The
Plainfeld gentleman says:-
"The man to defeat the democrats will
not be Hughes, Root, Whitman, Weeks,
Wood, nor any one of the others who
have been mentioned by the "stand.
patters,' because if the republicans are
to win they must go back to the Re-
publican National Convention of 1919
proceedings and start where the steam
roller began.
1t matters not who the democrats nom-
mate, whether it be Wilson, Bryan or
Clark, the only republican to win, is the
imam of the hour" the choice of big
ajority of the republican states in the
Chicago National Convention, Theodore
| Roosevelt.
There are two or three amusing things
| about this outburst. One is attacking
Elpie Thayer for having good sense,
another is ranking such papers as The
Herald, for instance, as machine" news
papers, third is the singular disre-
membrance OF who originated the cele-
brated "steam roller of Chicago.
When T. Il. told the republicans OF
| 1908 that they would have to take Taft
"or they'll get me-" the steam roller
methods of Hitchcock were the scandal
of the convention. And the Plainfield
man wants to return to theml
Nevertheless, The Herald once more
desires to call attention to the shrewd
| Judgment of well-known newspaper
correspondent who said that, in the pc.
litical game, there were two men always
capable of looming back" One wat
Theodore Roosevelt and the other W. ]
Bryan. 1t behooves Republicans to keel
this probability in mind.
The bizarre and unusual demand of the
Plainfeld patriot accentuates the inn
portance of New England, in particular
lining up for some representative candi
date, courageous, believing in bushes:
and experienced in state craft. So far
The Herald has seen no better man men
toned than Senator John W. Weeks oil
Massachusetts,.
Lacking any concentrated and effec-
tive movement elsewhere, T. r. may
once again be able to force himself on
the national convention, willy-nilly
Vermonters should be thinking about
such things.
