Who Was Guaranteed Saturday.

Essex Junction, May s.-Charles Coy
cite of Essex Center is i'll at his home
with smallpox. He was quarantined
Saturday night. He had been ailing for
the past week, but had worked a part
of the time and had been about the

at once vaccinate some 80 school chill
dren, who have not been vaccinated, also
all others who are known TO have come

This case is directly trsceable to the
case of Mrs. Hine, who arrived at the
railroad station at Essex Junction
about three weeks ago as he was at the
station at that time.

MONTPELIER COUNCIL ACCEPTS
Slightly Amended Franchise for Trolley

The Montpelier city council held a
special meeting last evening and adopted,
with slight amendment, the traction
company franchise which was drafted
last week at a meeting of special com
mittees representing the councils of
Barre and Montpelier and Berlin board
of selectmen. Discussion of the fran
chise occupied several hours, but in the
main it seemed to meet with the ap-
prevail of the councillors.
The franchise will now be submitted
to the Barre & Montpelier Traction g.
Power company for approval or rejec.
ton, and if it meets with satisfaction
will be submitted to the voters for rati-
fication at a special meeting.

SENSIBLE McADOO.

During the progress of the Liberty
Loan campaign, Secretary McAdoc
visited many sections of the country
in the work of stimulating interest in
the campaign. In one southern city,
where Mr.. McAdoo is well known and
admired, the proposition was advanc-
ed by enthusiastic members of the en-
tertainment committee to designate a
day as "McAdoo Day" When the
proposition reached the ears of the Sec
rotary it was promptly negatived, with
the remark that this was no time for
self exploitation, and that the entire
energy of the American people should
be centered on the one great task of
winning the war.
Mr.. McAdoo was right. The peo-
pie of this city would gladly have done
him honor, and at any other time
the secretary would have been pleased
and gratifed at this mark of their
favor. But, as he well says, this is
no time for exploiting personalities.
1t is a time when mere individual in
terests must give way for the inter
est Of humanity in the mass.
And there are many others besides
the secretary who have sensed this
fact. Leaders of thought and action in
every venue of life are cheerfully rel
egating to the rear their personal in
tere$ts and ambitions and making
