ANONYMOUS LETTERS.

ANONYMOUS letters attacking the
character of citizens or public officers
are dishonorable and cowardly. We
doubt if the publication of such letters,
even if the names of the writers are
known to the editor, is in accord with
the highest newspaper ethics.
Some months ago the Burlington
Free Press published an anonymous
attack on Middlebury College and its
President with reference to taxation.
A reply was made promptly, with
ci tation of facts. Shortly thereafter
the officers of the college received an
apology from the anonymous writer,
with admission that he had been mis-
informed.
Recently the Free Press has given
space to an anonymous attack on Judge
Weeks and the management of the
Industrial School. 1t is clear that the
motive was personal spite, and that an
honest facing of facts would compel a
retraction, as in the former instance,
Undoubtedly such cowardly assaults
make friends for those they attempt to
injure, but that does not excuse the
publication which co-operates with an
assassin who shoots in the dark.

BRANDON.

The ladies of ST. Mary's church gave

Selections on the violin and piano were
given by Misses Carrigan. Refreshments
were served and a large number were

The Brandon Concert band gave the
last rehearsal of the season at their
rooms on Thursday evening, August 80,
and Monday will he the last concert
night.
Brandon organized a Board of Trade
few months ago. Meetings were fire.
quent and enthusiastic for few weeks.
Then month elapsed between meetings,
finally dropped entirely. Now people
are asking what has become of the Board
of Trade and what have they done to
increase the trade of Brandon.
A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Buttles on Thursday at the Rut-

greeted by large audience, quite a
number going from here in their autos.

John 7. Hahar has bought the Dr. S.
E. Averill place on Carver street. Con-
sderaton was $4,000. Mr.. Hahar is to
be congratulated.
DIR. E. L. Averill left Brandon early
Friday morning for Cleveland, Ohio,
going in his auto. 1t was source of
sincere regret to many Of the doctors
friends to have him leave town.
Negotiations are being conducted by
which it is hoped that new manufac-
turing concern will be induced to come
to Brandon and occupy the old wrapper
works near the depot. That the COM
pany will decide to come is the hope of
many.

SUPPORT OF CORPUS
CULAR THEORY OF SOUND.

If Mr.. Battell were living he would
undoubtedly find support for his views
on the subject of sound in the recent
decision OF Judge Augustus N. Hand
of the United States District Court
in the matter of rephotographing
across the Canadian border of the film
of the Willard-J Johnson prize-fght. The
law forbidding the Importation of such
films, the representation of the fight
was photographed across the line be-
tween the United States and Canada.
The contention was that nothing crossed
the border and that therefore the law
was not violated. But Judge Hand
held to the contrary, and in his opinion
said;
Now it is clear that the negative
New York film could not be taken except
by the agency of forces set in motion in
Canada. These forces were rays of
light moving into the United States.
To be sure they went in indefinite and
vast numbers from each point of the
object in Canada in divergent directions
and were mere 'confusions of light, so
called, until certain of them came into
the lens of the New York side. The
argument that this process did not
amount to bringing a pictorial repre-
sentation from Canada to the United
States, while difficult to answer, is, |
think, met by the unquestionable fact
that pictorial image, though not
ply steal object, which was in Canada is
now in New York. "
According to this learned opinion,
which is in harmony with the common
sense view of the case, something came
over from the United States into Canada
in the photographing process. The
rays of light moved into the United

Political Advertising,
HARRY V, SEARS FOR SIDE
JUDGE,

The candidacy of Mr., Harry V, Sears
of Monkton for the Office of Assistant
County Judge has evidently appealed to
a large number of voters Of the county,
Judging from the reports that are cur
rent at this stage of the campaign,
Mr. Sears Is assured of very large
vote at the primary election next Tues,
day. He has made a very modest can
vass for the position compared with the
other candidates, but his many friends
in all sections Of the county were quick
to recognize his fitness for the office and
rallied to his support with very little
solicitation on his part, so that his vote
at the primaries Is sure to be large and
gratifying,
The record of Mr. Sears at home Is
his most valuable asset In his canvass
for the office, and the fact that the
town of Monkton has had but one
county office in thirty-four years is
much in his favor,
In all the various offices he has held
at home, he has performed his duty
faithfully and well, and his duties in
this respect have included the offices Of
representative to the legislature select
man, school commissioner, town audi.
tor, lister and justice Of the peace,
If elected to the office Of side judge
he will make an excellent county Off
cial, He is possessed of good and
sufficient quantity Of common sense, he
has had considerable experience in civic
affairs that will make him well qualified
for the office, and his pleasing and
gentlemanly manner will be much APP
precated in that position at the County
Court. OBSERVER.

electric power in Brattleboro went off
for a few minutes Friday evening The
cause of the blowing up of the Con-

was the explosion of dynamite and oil.
An employee upset a lantern on the
oil soaked floor. He got far enough
away before the explosion to escape
injury. Windows were blown out of
the power house, but no one was in

STATE FAIR NEXT WEEK.

The order issued by the State Board
of Health, in effect that children under
the ages Of Is years must not attend
the fairs of the State will be observed
by the Vermont State Fair commission
in the conduct of the State Fair to be
held at White River Junction September
u, 10, II and 10. This order was is
sued with the intention of preventing
the spread of infantlle paralysis.
That it will work a hardship on all
fairs, especially the State fair, is GER
tain, and because of it the State Fair
commission appeals to the adults of the
State to turn out in large numbers to
make up for the enforced absence of
the children. With a premium list ag-
gregating 500, 600 and trotting purses
close to S., 600 it is necessary that the
attendance be large in order to cover
these obligations. No doubt the cancel
lation of the Valley Fair at Brattle-
boro will assist in stimulating the State
Fair attendance to a considerable de-
gree, the Brattleboro fair having been
called off by the local board of health.
Thursday, the 18th will be Governors
day, when Governor Gates with his
aids will be on hand. On this day also
there will be an auction sale of
fancy Holstein cattle, and sale
of sheep from the Government Farm at
Mddlebury. These sales are expected
to he largely attended.
