Gov. Geo. e Cole arrived here last
Tuesday and the same day qualified
and entered upon the discharge of
the duties of his office. His prede-
cessor, thus far, has failed to turn
over tn paraphernalia of the state,
claiming that he is waiting instruc-
tons from Washington to govern his
action in the premises. Meanwhile
both branches of the Assembly have
recognized Gov. Cole as executive of
the territory and he discharges the
duties required of him by law. One
hundred guns were fired on Thurs
day evening as testimonial of re-
spect to the newly appointed execu-
tive.
A private letter informs us that
Mr.. George H. Hines, formerly of
this county and for several years
compositor on this paper, was mar
ried on the oath ultimo in Salem,
Ore, to Miss Anna F. Riggs of that
place.

vessel stranded. The remainder went

A GOOD START.

The nineteen seventeen legislature is starting
off mighty well-may the same good spirit
tinue!
The events of the week bear out the advance
predictions that this would be markedly differ
emit session than the last two Original evidence
of it was given in the house at the opening session,
when the three-ifths majority rule-the bulwark
of the old Sims-McArdle machine-was abrogated
and a majority of the members empowered to call
any measure before the house for consideration.
Further evidence of it is to be seen in the insur-
gent move in the senate, which will keep the
s'standpatters" there tenter-hooks all the time
and virtually tie their hands, and of continued
expressions on all sides of intention to forget
petty partisanship, to avoid the chickering's which
married the past two sessions, and to get together
and accomplish good work for the state.
Perhaps it would be patting ourselves on the
back too soon to say that the lessons of the last
election have gone home to the legislative leaders,
and yet that is the way it looks now. But, as we
have often said in the past few weeks, that, it
true, is something upon which the state may heart
lily be congratulated

THE STOCK MARKET LEAK"

Congressional circles and the public generally
have been stirred up this week by the hearings at
Washington on the recent alleged stock market
ssleak' in connection with President Wilson's
peace note, and the sensational but vague testi-
mony Of Thomas w. Lawson of "Frenzied
Finance fame. That there was leak" and
that those Elm on it made a cleaning In Wall
Street. including Lawson himself, is proved fact,
but the hearings have served to absolve cabinet
officials and the presidential secretary from any
connection or participation with the profits.
At the outset of the hearings, one Representative
Wood spread lot of hear-say charges against the
presidential secretary, against brother OF the
presidents wife and against some appointees,
based wholly upon letter from a man whom ne
did not know and whom he has since been unable
to find That sort of action of course, is despic-
able and shameless.
The undercurrent of gossip in the newspaper
world for years has been to the effect that some
senator's congressman and federal officials on the
inside made neat little from time to time
.splaving the Market and Sam Blythe, who
knows the national capital intimately as anyone,
incorporated that idea IN novel he recently
wrote. 1t may have been done in this case We
hope the hearings uncover it, if it was, and pro-
vide means of stopping it, if that is possible. 1t
should be stopped, of course.
For our part, however it is preposterous
for anyone to assert that President Wilson, Secre-
tary Tumuty or Secretary of State Lansing know
ingly permitted "leak' to Wall Street or profit
ed through any stock market transactions. Such
a charge would be too ridiculous to be worth a
minutes consideration.

LISTER AND THE CAPITOL SITUATION.

governor but seriously mperilled Olympia's status
when they sedulously accused him of being

The WAY You Do Ii.

One reads that Darwin never under
stood an equation, and the chances are
that Isaac Newton could not have pass
ed any examination in literary or aes-
thetic subjects with his idea that poet
ry was ingenious nonsense and statu-
airy only stone dolls. Faraday had no
gift for mathema tics, and 1t Is a moot
ed question II Napoleon Bonaparte
could have passed college entrance
examination In French. But 1t was
their ability to do some one thing well
that has turned the world upside down
at various times in its forward march,
not their inability to do badly what all
the world only does moderately well.
1t makes little difference what you do.
The difference lies in the way you do
1t. The business world is oyerstocked
with poor people looking for good po-
sitions, while good positions are wait
ing for good people to I'LL them.

Don't Stop Your Garden Work.

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion, Grace Tabor says:
Most gardeners of the land let up
about this time of the season; and il
they do not exactly dawdle, they al
least permit themselves to think that
everything is over but the shouting
otherwise, the harvesting and the en-.
ioying of the fruits of their labors
They feel that August is the garden
afternoon, so to speak, when actually
there is no afternoon at all in garden.
ing if afternoon means time Of rest
ing on the work of morning.
Until the garden plot is worked con-
tinually and planted in close succession,
its capacity for production is unsus-
pected The old way of planting the
entire space by the first of June and
considering the garden making finished
for the summer, is now absolutely rela
gated to the discard; but even those who
have advanced to the newer order of
things seldom reach the maximum that
is attainable, largely, think, because
that old habit of regarding the latter
half of summer as time of harvest ex-
clings. Shake it off; it is a
great hindrance. Shake it off and come
into the garden and dig and fertilize with
sheep manure, and plant once more, ex-
actly as If 1t were April instead of Au-
gust"

10 counties of the state, having more
than met the quota required because OF
voluntary enlistments and thus being
cleared of the draft for this time. We
have not noticed that any individual
credit has been extended for this i'm
munity which has fallen to the lot of
Windham county, but we suspect that
the untiring work of Capt. f. w. Gibson
Of Brattleboro was in large part respon-
sibe for the present situation of the
county. Capt. Gibson was busy recruit
ing the Brattleboro company for some
time prior to concerted efforts in most of
the other counties and after Windham
county had been rather thoroughly
secured he went into the neighboring
county of Bennington and secured many
enlistments So we imagine that Wind.

that it is not now engaged in drafting

Judge Pollard of st. Louis, originator

some cases driver had been brought
before Judge Pollard charged with cru
city to animals. He had been driving
a CALLED mule, but he had an expert
witness In veterinarian, who testified
that the sore on the mules back did
not pain the animal In the least.
The Judge listened attentively to the
long technical opinion and then de-
manded TO know the mules where
abouts He was informed that it was
harvested to wagon that stood I'm the
street In front of the courthouse.
The judge then ordered that court be
adjourned for FIVE minutes. He took
his cane and proceeded 10 the street,
went up to the mule and with the end
Of his cane gently touched the sore
spot on the animals back. The mule
promptly tried to kick the dashboard
of the wagon. Once again the Judge
touched the sore spot with his cane,
and the mule responded as before.
Judge Pollard returned to the bench.
The prisoner was called before him.

testimony you have had introduced in

men present who had endeavored 10

when they saw him slngularly defer
entail TO Grace Mulholland. The din
ner was a splendid affair, and the
souvenirs were very costly. They were

She smiled sincere thanks, considering
her comparatively valueless gift a

When she got home she took out the

glued to the gloves Beneath was a

The plan to place American soldiers In
dug outs and then subiect7them to bomb
ing by the French just to get them used
to the game appears like waste of mu.
nitions and an attempt to make Amer
lean soldiers look silly. The Americans
are not shy gazelles, nor yet fragile
pieces of china; they are men and, there
fore, ready to take their places along
with the other men just as soon as they
have undergone the necessary military
training. Moreover, they will get won't
ed to bombs and shells pretty soon after
they reach the trenches Let the Franch
save their ammunition.

The changes in the British admiralty
may mean that the British navy, the
greatest and most powerful in the world,
will be called upon to perform greater
service than merely holding the smaller
naval force of Germany. 1t does not
seem that the British naval arm has been
doing its fair share along with the mill
tary arm of the government. Up to the
present time the army has been wrenched
and torn while the navy has been stand
ing still although admittedly engaged in
an important work of holding the enemy
feet in check.

Instead of going to France to spend
months in ease and idleness just to en-
terrain American soldiers with few
games of baseball, the American ball

Now that there is such hue and cry
about food conservation, ii would be a
decidedly backward trend if New Eng.
land should allow any of its promised
yield of million baskets of peaches to
go to waste. John W. Scheurle, secre-
tary of the Eastern States Agricultural
and Industrial exposition, makes an ap-
peal in behalf of movement to utilize
every basket of peaches to be raised in
New England; and the Vermont commit
tee of public safety adds it's encourage
ment to Mr.. Seheurle's appeal. 1t is not
probable that Vermont raises any con-
siderable quantity of peaches but YER
mont does consume great amount of
peaches raised in other parts of New
England, the housewives of the state be-
ing busy each fall season in canning and
preserving the luscious fruit for the win.
ter and spring use So Vermont can do
its part toward preventing the waste of
the great peach crop by preserving more
than usual this coming fall. 1t is prob.
able that the great yield will cause
fairly reasonable price for the peaches,
and Vermont people should take advan-
tage of the opportunity thus offered to
secure fine addition to their food
stores.
