affairs in a single instance which must
not be allowed to continue and to pre-
vent which every effort of the probation
and charity department should be direct
ed, backed up by the moral and financial
support Of the entire people Of the state.
If there is need of money to supplement
the work being done by the department
of probation and charity let us raise
money for this work in addition to that
which is being raised to care for the
destitute and the needy in foreign lands !;
and if we cannot raise enough for both
purposes let us divert a little of that
now going to Europe and other places to
care for our own unfortunates. Let the
sewing circles, too, turn their attention
toward fashioning garments to clothe the
adults at least in decent manner and to
give the children some needed garments.
There is no doubt that the state depart
ment having these cases in charge would
be glad to have the cooperation of the
people of the state in a concerted move,
ment to aid the needy people of our own
state; and the work could be carried out,
no doubt, without putting a premium on
laziness.

WASHINGTON
Funeral of L. D. Tillotson Held from
Home Friday.

L. ID. Tillotson, who passed away July
Is at the Mary Fletcher hospital, where
he went the previous Monday for the
eighth operation, was a man who will be
greatly missed. He was born in town
May Il, lS47. In the year 1873 he start
ed in the mercantile business and the
same year was united in marriage to
Alma L. Downing, her death occurring
Feb. 10, 1916. To them were born two
daughters, Allie, who is now Mrs. Fred
Il. Goodwin, and Nina, Mrs. Albert w.
Bresette, who survive, with five grand
children, Merlon, Elmer and Vincent
Goodwin and Wendell and Wayne Bre-
settle, to mourn over the loss of KIND
father and an indulgent grandfather.
Mr.. Tillotson had held many respon-
sible town Offices and represented his
town in the legislature of 1867. He was
also postmaster for four years. In fra
ternal orders he was Mason, the last
rites of the order being used at the
graveside.
The funeral services were held at his
late residence Friday at 2 o'clock, Rev.
A. NJ. Smith, former pastor, officiating.
The bearers were Fred Goodwin, Albert
Bresette, Ellis Downing, Harry Downing,
Edison Roland D. S. Emery. Burial was
in the family lot in the village ceme-
terry.
II is seldom that we are called upon to
record the death of citizen whose pass
ing away would be more seriously felt
by all than is the death of Mr.. Tillotson,
as he was always ready TO assist in all
benevolent ways, and the community ex-
tends its sincere sympathy to the sur
viving relatives.
The following flowers were contributed
by sympathizing friends at. the time Of
the funeral Pillow, family; roses, Mrs.
Will Downing; American Beauty roses,
Charles Davis; pansies and roses, Mr..
and Mrs. George Huntington; carnations

The value of bank deposit has been
shown through a legal development in
Windham county, where a New York
man is putting in a claim for $l,ll5 now
held by a Brattleboro bank and sdver
tised as the law requires. This account
was started with $50 as a nucleus, and
that amount has been neither added TO
nor drawn from by the depositor or any
one representing the depositor since the
date Of the deposit which was in 1857.
OF course, it is long time for anyone to
wait for fortune to develop; but the
case is an illustration of how money
placed in bank does accumulate and
build up into impressive figures. II is
like an inverted pyramid, based on a
relatively small foundation and spread
ing out into a considerable superstruc-
ture. Moreover, people do not have to
wait So years to get the benefit of in
vestment in banks, Their deposits CON
stantly grow, only the longer they stay
the greater the development 1t would
be good experiment for people, espe-
cially the younger people, to lay aside
an amount of money like that represent
ed in the original deposit in the Brattle-
boro bank and then to let the deposit
rest unless it be to add other amounts.
In the course of 20 years they would be
most agreeably surprised to find what a
sizeable bank account they possessed. 1t
is an experiment worth trying.

A SAD CASE IN VERMONT.

While we Vermonters are contributing
our money for the aid of sufferers and
destitute in Europe it would be well for
us to turn our attention now and then
to some of the instances of abject pow
erty, misery and uncivilized existence in
our own state. One such case has been
discovered in the town of Sudbury, on
the west side of the state, by the deputy
state probation officer From the Rut-
land Herald we enumerate some of the
conditions as found by the deputy proba
ton officer:
Man and woman with their five chill
dren, a daughter of the woman by for
mer marriage and baby girl born to
this daughter, who claims her stepfather

All nine living in one-room shanty

Furniture consists of an old stove, a
table, three chairs and heap of meal
bags
Not bed in the place, the entire fam
lily apparently sleeping on the floor; not
trace of any bed clothes.
Children, even the daughter IS years
old, could not tell the time of day.
Children wore single piece garments
Mother of year-old babe wore piece of
cloth which resembled old carpeting, with
nothing above the waistlne.
Entire family thoroughly unacquaint-
ed with soap.
Such condition as this we find right
here in Vermont, where there is plenty
and where kind hearts are the rule rath-

League Opposition on Decline.

The conviction is spreading that the
opposition to the league covenant in the
peace treaty has already passed its max
imum strength and is now receding. The
signs of this are to be observed in sew
eral quarters The opposition press
seems to be getting an unfavorabe re-
action from many of its readers. All
talk of Separating" the covenant from
the treaty has stopped. In the Senate
itself the divisions among the Republi.
cans are more and more pronounced and
Mr.. Lodges opposition leadership be-
comes more difficult under the impact Of
the presidents personal conferences at
the White House with Republican SEN
ators for the sake of clarifying coun-
sell" These conferences are worrying
the opposition leaders very much. They
would have much preferred to see the
president start on speaking tour of the
country. The personal conferences, be.
ing managed with tact, are indeed the
better strategy. No speaking tour will
probably be needed, as the situation now
appears to close obseryers.-Springfeld

New National Anthem Needed.

Comment has been made that the war

unproductive of music, but there may

through the adoption by new nations of
national anthems Now that the German
and the Austrian empires have gone

plies, hitherto subject but now sovereign,

There is too much reckless driving of
automobiles on the narrow roads of Yer
mont. One of the most fragrant cases of
abuse of the road has come from the vi
entity of st. Johnsbury, where two ma
chimes are alleged to have been racing
and one machine struck carriage,
throwing young woman out and injur-
ing her quite seriously. Neither of the
autoists stopped to see what damage had
been done, but it is reported that the
identity of both cars is known. If that
is the case there is only one course open
to the prosecuting officers of Caledonia
county, and that is to bring action
against both the drivers for reckless and
careless driving on the highways, Such
cases should not be allowed to 60 I'M
punished, as that would encourage other
drivers to the belief that they too will
be immune from arrest should they in
dulge in the dangerous practice of speed
ing on the public highways.

Confession by an official of the Boston
Elevated Railroad company that despite
the increased wages paid to employees
under the strike settlement it would be

therefore, unjust. In the light of that
