States Attorney NJ. P. Maurice of
Lamoille county has sued the Norris
vile News and Citizen because Of a
communication which that paper
published relative to the states at
torney's recent action in rounding up
IS automobiles for not sounding
their horns at street crossings. The
criticisms in the communication led
the county prosecutor. to demand
that the publisher of the News and
Citizen furnish the name and ad-
dress of the writer and retract the en-
tire article. When this was not done
the suit was brought. The alleged
1ibellous article was mainly dis
cussion of the legal aspects of States
Attorney Maurice's scheme for al
lowing the automobiles to pay their
fines by mail. The outcome of the
suit will be watched with interest by
motorists, lawyers and publishers
alike.-Brattleboro Reformer.

SOME MODEL HEALTH WORK.
Where the State Board Of Health Once
Knocked Now IL Praises L0udIv.

Where the State Board az Health Once
Knocked Now it Praises Loudly.
Just about a year ago the State.
Board Of Health gave Morehead CITY
hard jolt by exposing its loose meth
DDS as to health work. The board
placed the city in bad light and resi-
dents declared that it ruined the place
as summer health and pleasure re-
sort. The residents got up in arms
hut the, State Board of Health stood
firm. 1t hewed to the line and tried
to serve the public and as a result
aroused the sanitary and health pride
of the city Now here's what the
State Health Bulletin fills its front
cover page with in gold black type:
sMOrehead City Again
Exactly one year ago this Board
called attention to some deplorabIe
public health conditions in Morehead
City. Now we call attention to More
head City again Within year when
the public hue and cry was to the effect
that Eve are too poor" Eve can't af-
ford sewers" and 1--WE can't afford SAN
itary privies," there has been a bond
issue raised sufficient not only TO build
sewers in the business portion of the
town but they have gone farther, so
far as this Board can learn, than any
other town in the State regardless of
size or wealth and provided for sewers
to every mans door with the excep-
ton of some ten or twelve isolated
houses.
"Can any town in the country beat
that record? If it can, we want to
hear from it. These sewers are now
kabout SO per cent complete and the
engineers expect to finish by July i, q.
Nor is that ALL The water mains
instead. of reaching the favored few
are being extended to every mans
door. Another record
"Nor is the end yet. The new set
of town officers recently elected are
pledged to do the unprecedented in this
State Ito require every family accessi-
BILE to water and sewers to connect up
to both, to use both, and to abolish
completely all insanitary privies for
merly in use, Even the ten or twelve,
isolated houses far UP on the peninsu-
la, out of reach of water and sewers,
hut within corporate limits, will iu-l
stall sanitary privies.
with a capable, intrepid, broad
minded incoming administration pledg-
ed to health reforms, Morehead City
bids fair to outrank any other city,
not only in. the State but in the entire
South, in. point of public health and
sanitation, and to be truly the Summer
Capital Healthful by the sea.

OF surprise is expressed Why Mr..
Bryan should have considered it nee
essary to resign as secretary of state.
after having signed the first note.
The Daily TelegFaph says:
.The spirit sof the second note Is
exactly that@of the first, and it leaves
MS to wonder even more than we did
before why Mr.. Bryan thought it nee
esgary to resign. There is nothing
OF q minatory character in the note
nothing that the. most ferv1d 1mag1na-
ton could construe into challenge
or ultimatum. The tone throughout
Is not only diplomatic but fr1endly
The phrases are those of appeal and
Earning, rather than Of Stern denun-
citation.
s'To have been content with anything
less than the assurance demanded
would hardly have been consistent
with the self-respect of the American
nation"
