Judge Taylor and Court Reform.
lRutland Herald.)

We do not uphold the action Of the
senate III holding 4 secret session and
knowing Judge Taylor, VIC know he did
not ask for it. or would not have sane
toned it, and we believe the napers are
doing him u rank injustice in laying the
blame on him as they do.-llardwick
Gazette.
The Herald trusts the Gazette knows
what it Is talking about, but is In
clincd to think otherwise.
From source which il considers I'M
improbable, the Herald learned that
when the members Of the supreme court
received tho invitation to address the
senate, il was accepted with the pro-
viso that the communication be deiiv-
cred in an executive session.
The reason given Tor this was that
the court did not consider it proper "a
engage in public controversy.
Judge TAYLOR accepted the invitation
aud the Herald knows that he knows
that the proviso for secrecy was under
stood in advance. In fact, il was an
nounccd in advance, by Senator Fair
child.
If the Gazette wants to embarras

Dining and Winning.

Even in the shadow of national peril
the high life continues to eat, drink
and be merry The New York Society,"
of Rcstauratcurs figure that their bust
ness put out S709o00,000 last year. In
our greater cities money flows in I'M
stintcd streams for food and drink,
largely the latter, with the aeeompani-
ments of high cost dancers and vaude-
Vile artists.
\ portion of this is legitimate res
taurant business, but much of it IS
more dissipation and display and
spurgc. The amount spent for waste
full entertainment in New York city
alone would equip q great army and it
would pay off the national debt in a
year or two.
All this extravaganza would seem in
poor taste even in peace time, when the
money might do SO much good in re
lieving misfortune and setting worthy
young people on the road of self sup
port. How much worse it is in timC
of war, when suffering peoples arr
starving, when wounded men are dy
ing for lack of good hospital facilities
and when our own people are in neet
of war equipment for their own de
Tense. 1t would seem as if the Nabob
aud Crocsuses should realize this stu
alton and cut out this folly.-New Lon

FINE PRODUCTION
OF EXPERIENCE
Massive Play Showing Pilgrimage of
Youth-Put On in Excellent Man
ner by First Glass Company

Experience. the great morality drama
By George Y. Hobart, was presented
in the Auditorium last evening, which
opened an engagement for three per
founanccs, including a matinee today.
The attendance was only fair, not
large enough to make such q massive
production profitable here. The east
and assistants made the company the
largest ever brought to Brattleboro,
and it was No. | company, the same
that made Il decided success in large
cities.
The play deals with the pilgrimage
of Youth and is in various episodes-ln
| the land where dreams begin, in the
! street Of Nacilation, the primrose path,
/ in the corridors Of Chance, the street
/ Of Disillusion, the house of last resort,
! the street of Remorse, the street of
/ Forgotten DAYS. and in the land where
/ the dreamer awakcns.
At the outset Youth bids goodbye to
! Love and Hope and follows Ambition
Il lie is accompanied by Experience, who
n is close TO him throughout the pilgrim
age Opportunity and Pleasure arc
met and Youth allows Opportunity t.
90, while he remains with Pleasure
Ambition is reported dead, and You'll
rapidly becomes cutangled with great
| variety Of bcsctting influences, imper
sonated by Frivolity, Deceit, lntoxica
ton. Passion, Temptation, Despair
Roulette Dealer, Crouch, Frailty, Deg
radiation, Crime, and many other fac
tors Of human experience. lie finally
is brought TO sec himself as he is an'
returns To Love and Hope and to fin,
that Ambition has awakened.
The conception of the play is remark
able and it is produced splendidly b,
this company, Its lesson is one o
great strength and the situations AZ
not oycrd,awn. The characters ar,
taken with fidelity, and the scenery
costumes and effects are delightful, Is
pccinlg should praise be given for til
exceptional work done by Ernest Glen

cation and Frailty, Dorothy Newell a
