who shot his wife because he suspect
ed her of infidelity, the acquittal be-
ing on the ground that he was insane
at the time the murder was commit
ted, leads the Burlington Free Press
to deplore the prevailing laxity which
enables a person to commit murder
with impunity and immunity.
This insanity idea is merely acloak
for crime. The Free Press says:
zone Of the chief bahes of Ameri-
can life is the ease with which crime
defes the public and escapes just
penalty. A man kills his wife, and
twelve men acquit him because he
was not responsible by reason of in
sanity. Another man kills fellow
man because he suspects the latter Of
talking with his wife. and he shields
himself successfully behind brain
storm. A wife kills her husband be-
cause she had &C suspicious" and she
escapes the penalty of her crime be-
cause of temporary alteration of
mind. And so it goes. All of these
men and women were apparently nor
crime and as soon as they had es-
capped the gallows or the electric
chair following the shedding of hu-
man blood. Yet we go on deploring
the multiplication of crime in Ameri-
ca and wiring our hands in utter help
lessness."
AS the Free Press says, the Ameri-
can people seem to have reached that
stage of sentimentality or have al
lowed their sense of justice to degen-
crate to point where any person has
only to feign insanity to commit
murder with entire immunity, and the
point has been reached where we need
to undergo course of training in a
moral kindergarten school,
Some training that will bring about
a decided change in the prevailing
American attitude in this matter is
certainly needed.
Statistics bear out the charge that
Americans are the most lawless peo-
pie in the world and that in this ma
ton human life is held in very light
regard. Not only along the line above
referred to but all crime, relating
either to person or property, seems to
be regarded with increasing indiffer-
ence, and disrespect for law and legal
restraint seems to be a growing evil
in American life.
A quickening of the American con-
science in this matter is needed to
preserve the social fabric of the ma
ton and redeem the country from its
reputation for lawlessness.- Enos-

THE PAPER SITUATION.

The seriousness of the paper short
age is not confined to the United
States alone. In discussing the stu
alton in Canada as the result of a re-
cent meeting of newspaper publish
ers at Sherbrooke, the Stanstead, (P.
o. Journal says:
Prices in the United States have
advanced full more than those in
Canada. U. S. manufacturers say
there will be no reduction because
they could market every pound of
their product in Europe at better
prices than they are getting in their
own country. To help publishers the
u. S. government has removed the
duty on the cheaper printing papers
which gives Canadian makers access
to the markets of the United States
on an equal footing with U. S. mills.
Canada's exports of papers have
grown remarkably in the last 25
years. In 1892 the total exports Of
this material were valued at SOL.
Ten years later they stood at $24,78O.
In 1912, after the lapse of another
decade. paper exports were valued
at 1881 ,O63. The next year found
them almost doubled, $6,327,774.
These figures were again doubled in
1914, making the total $12,686, 1896.
Eighty per cent of this output went
to the United States. The year 1915
also showed another great increase,
but not on the same scale as that of
the preceding year, exports reaching
SIS, 500 ,582. This year another great
increase is assured, as paper mills
especially those manufacturing news
print, are working to capacity to
meet the many orders coming from
the United States and Europe. This
extraordinary demand from external
sources is what is sending prices
skyWard.
Canadian publishers have appealed
to the government for help. One
member of deputation of publishers
recently appearing before the minis
ter of finance, declared that the new
prices were virtually confscatory 81
concerned. To the paper makers the
minister of finance limited that the
export Of paper might be prohibited
Such action on the part of the gov
eminent would doubtless cause a col
lapse in prices, but it Is hardly proba
BILE that the government, which ha
stood for the protection Of Canadian
industries, would give the paper max
ers such a blow. That this is the pa
per makers harvest is reflected in tn
stock markets where paper securi
ties" are receiving a prominence new
er before accorded to them. Unit
the war closes there will be no hon
for lower prices on paper. Publish
ers must either go out OF business O.
look il other directions for relief.

VERMONT NOTES

Vermont paid the members of the
federal service from June 10 to Oc-
tober 10 at Eagle Pass, Texas and
Fort Ethan Allen, the sum of $4O,-
900 according to figures available at
the state treasurer's Office.
This pay, it will be remembered
was voted at the special session of
the legislature held two months ago.
The actual amount paid out will ex-
ceed the sum stated by few hundred
dollars.
Albert C Campbell, 26, machinist,
of 33 Ascutney street, Windsor, saved
Frank H Moore, 9, from drowning at
Claremont, n H., on Oct. 27, 1912.
Campbell with the aid of another
man, prevented the child from being
swept over a 15-foot dam. A bronze
medal from the Carnegie Hero Fund
commission has just been awarded
him. This is the only medal coming
to Vermont and only seven were
awarded in New England
The prospects are bright that the
0. L: Kinds Garment company of
New York and Burlington will open
branch in Brandon for the manu-
facture of children's washable gar
ments in the old wrapper factory
near the depot. This company will
open the factory if they secure DO
girls and women to start with. S.
w. Jones has already secured % of
the required number and thinks there
will be no difficulty in getting the 4C

THE HASTINGS DIAMOND,
It Involved a King Of England In .
Bribery Scandal

Nearly every great diamond has a
history. These histories are always ro-
mantle, embodying numerous adven-
lures. some of which are tragic.
In the history Of the Hastings trag-
edy of ENGLAND is charge of bribery
against king. George Ill, which gave
the gentle art Of caricature an oppor-
tunity such as had never come to it be-
fore and showed the power that carl
cature could WELD upon a people,
At levee Of the king held on June
IA, 17S6, a very valuable diamond of
unusual size and brilliancy was pre-
scented to George I'LL, Ostensibly as a
gift from the nizam or native ruler of
Deccan, India.
At the period when this magnificent
peace offering was given to the king
the Impeachment of Warren Hastings
was advancing in parliament, and it
was current rumor that this and sew
eral lesser diamonds were the purchase
price Of Hastings acquittal.
Caricatures appeared in the windows
Of the printshops. One represented
HASTINGS wheeling the king to market
in barrow and saying, what a man
buys he may sell again." In another
the king was exhibited kneeling, with
his mouth open and Hastings throwing
diamonds into it.
An Italian juggler then in London
pretending to eat paving stones placard-
ed the walls with bills describing him
self as "The Greatest Stone Eater
Improving upon this, the caricaturists
represented the king In the character

A recent investigation made by the
u. S. public health service in connec-
ton with studies Of the rural school
children showed that 49.3 per cent
had defective teeth, 21.1 per cent had
two or more missing teeth, and only
1863 per cent had had dental atten-
ton. Over IA per cent never used
tooth brush, 58.2 per cent used one
occasionally and only 27.4 per cent
used one daily. Defective teeth re-
duce physical efficiency. Dirty, sup
purating, aggle-toothed mouths are
responsible for many cases Of heart
disease, rheumatism and other chron-
ic affections. The children are not
responsible for the neglected state of
their teeth. The ignorant and care
less parent is to blame for this condi-
ton, a condition which hampers
mental and physical growth and puts
a permanent handicap on our future
citizens. School teachers can and are
doing much in intoxicating habits of
personal cleanliness on the rural
school child but this will fail of the
highest accomplishment unless par
ents cooperate heartily and continu-
ously. This is a duty which we owe
our children.

Farmers Should Specialize.


A crop of cabbages raised this sea-
son which will net more than the
price paid for the 177-acre farm on
which they were grown is Benning-
ton farmers answer to the theory that
agriculture in New England is not
success. The cabbage crop, too, oc-
cupled only twelve acres, leaving 165
acres of the farm for general farming
purposes. When one can raise a five
thousand dollar crop in one season no
low priced farms of Vermont and
other New England states will some
time be appreciated at proper stan
dard of value. There are a score of
crops just as promising as cabbage
and any one of them can be made
profitable by an energetic man who is
Wiling to add industry to care and
commonsense. Too often a man rails
es crop one year, and because the
price proves low gets discouraged
and the next year tries something
else. Mr.. Squires' remarkable sue
cess. with his cabbage this year is due
to the fact that he didn't get discour-
| aged. He has made a speciality of
cabbages for several years and
learned how to grow them. Some
years he didn't make much but kept
at it and now finds himself rewarded
| with big crop in a year when the
| cabbage crop has failed in most plac-
es and the price is higher than before
IN years. There are good towns in
Vermont where half the farms are
dormant and in the market at from
i've dollars to fifteen dollars per acre.
All of them are fertile and productive
# given a fair chance. There are
some who urge that these farms be
planted to forest timber, but except
on steep and rocky land that cannot
be cultivated such action is unwise
and calculated to retard the develop
nent Of Vermont. What we need in
Vermont is a few striking demon
