Should Restrict Marriage.
(St. Johnsbury Caledonian.)

(St. Johnsburv CaledonIan.)
News adviees from Bellows Falls in
dicate that a bill requiring five days
notice before the gaining of marriage
license will be introduced at the next
session of the legislature. This action
will come as the result of vote of the
Bellows Falls Woman S club, adopting
the following resolution:
Believing that the existing Vermont
laws, regulating the issuing of mar
riage licenses are inadequate and in
their application have a tendency to
cheaper, ridicule and lessen the re-
spect for a sacred relation, we hereby
resolve that we are in favor of a law
similar to laws in neighboring states,
requiring a five days notice before a
marriage license can be issued; and
we petition the representative to the
general assembly from the town of
Rockingham and the senators from the
county of Windham to use their in
huence and effort to secure the passage
of such law by the next general as
semblv of the state of Vermont.
| We can see no reason why any couple
cannot wait five days after the APP
plieation for a marriage license before
one is to be granted. 1t certainly
would not wrong any young people
seeking a legitimate marriage in re-
spectacle way. 1t would prevent the
officers and clergymen of Vermont
from making a traffic of marriage as
has been done in the town of Bellows
Falls. There have been 733 marriages
performed in Bellows Falls since the
first of January, and about 700 of then
have been couples from outside Yer
mont, OF course some of these may
have been the marriage of respectful,
young people, but it is no credit to tn,
state that it has allowed the create
majority of these unions to be mad,
within its borders.
The news story concerning this mat
ter states that the local Catholic prizes
in Bellows Falls refused to perform
any marriages unless the young PEG
Z pie had the consent in writing of thei
parish priest. This Bellows Falls prizes
has set an example that ministers o
other denominations might follow witt
great credit to themselves. We hop
that traffic in marriages will be stoppe,
g / by the next legislature.

The improvements that have been
made the past season on the Brattle-
boro- Bennington highway, called the
Molly Stark Trail, are interesting in
lluential men of southern New Hamp-
shire in a proposition to improve still
further the road between Brattleboro
and Keene with a view to making it
one link of a thoroughfare that shall
extend from New York line to the At
lantic ocean. The road from Benning
ton westward to Troy has already been
greatly improved, and it is expected
that next season will see more traffic
than ever along this route from New
York to the White mountains. Scenical
ly, the Brattleboro- Bennington section
is the equal of any in this part of New
England and the improvements it has
undergone the past season should make
it a strong rival of the more widely
known but no more beautiful Mo
hawk trail, which parallels it to the
southwark. 1t is to be hoped that the
New Hampshire men will be successful
in their plan.

is the abuse OF the frai,king privilege.
During the couree of the recent cam
paign, Congressman Tavenner, Demo
crat of Illinois, sent out under his per-
sonal frank five million copies of his
speech endorsing Henry Ford S anti-pre-
paredness statement. This country
wide distribution is said to have cost
half million dollars at the most con
servative estimate, and the public will
have to pay the bills. This country is
quite accustomed to misuses of the
franking privilege, but no such glaring
case as that of Tavenner has ever be
fore been known. 1t is nothing short
Of outrageous.

been entered in Franklin county court
the case of City Judge Nathan n Post

The case will probably be tried at the

good swig of grape juice than run for

Champ Clark are alive, and he rarely
mounts the Chautauqua platform with
out fortifying himself with a pint or
two of this peerless beverage. In this
respect Mr. Bryan differs quite mate
rally from a number of platform stars
whose Notifications consist largely of
foam and pretzels.
The grape juice industry has been a
priceless boon to the newspapers and
magazines, as it IS advertised in sever
al colors by the half page In view of
this fact, it would seem that more
grape Juice would be consumed by the
average printer, and no doubt this
would be the case if every printer were
not a teetotaler.
Grape juice is about the only colo
drink on sale that can be kept in tie
cellar without calling forth the IN
godly jibes of the neighbors, and OF
that account its use should be en-
, couraged.

THIS MORNINGS MURDER
Fred Botsford Shoots to Death Oscar nalaer at Castleman's Stable
 This Morning

Soon after six o'clock this morning at Castleman's Livery Barn Fred Botsford shot and kill ed Oscar Malaer, a horse trainer, employed at the stable.
 Botsford went to the stable and asked to see Malaer and up- on being admitted by Castleman went back to where Malaer was doctoring a sick colt in the stable. Castleman paid no at tention to Botsford until he heard him tell Malaer he was going to kill him. Botsford pulled his pistol and shot Malaer in the left side near the shoulder and again in the left side from the effects of which he died in a few minutes. Castleman ran to Malaer's assistance and grappled with Botsford who did his best to shoot him also but was un- successful.
 Botsford made his escape go- ing first to his home on Pine St. just in the rear of Mir. Tim Shults residence and then going out northwest of town where a posse followed to apprehend him. They overlook him in a field near the Moshier brick yard. Bots ford carried a shot gun and a supply of buck shot shells and showed fight but when Deputy Sheriff Frank Federer called for his surrender and fired two loads at him he dropped fiat in the grass and thew up his hands. Botsford was loaded in H. R. Simpsons big car with the officers and posse and was land ed in jail about 8::30 o'clock this morning.
 Botsford claims that he and Malaer had been gambling last night. They had breakfast to- gether at the Roescher Cafe. and were apparently friendly.
 Botsford was carried to Clar- endon by Sheriff R. F. Milwee for safe keeping until Tuesday when he will have preliminary hearing.
