Just before Boise Penrose de-

From this conference. Watson
emerged with rather a depressed APP

rendered great assistance 10 the

Usually Sen. Watson is easy to in
terview. 1t must be said for him
that he has learned it does not pay
to deal doubly with the newspaper
men and Watson can always be ex-
pected to discuss the straight of
questions. But today. Watson is
concerned over a certain story which
went out about that conference with

When the time comes for the
nomination of "a candidate for the

And that meant that the course

ratifving amendments to our federal
constitution, and in q burst of state

the laws of God until something better
was adopted.

Some landlords in New York appear
to be getting it in the neck. But the
sit - ought to be in the shape of a
hemp collar.-Burlington News.
At the same time there are thous-
ands of New York and other landlords
who have treated their tenants bet
ter than they deserve In every town
there are landlords who have raised
the rent of tenements five or six times
during the past three years and are
now charging three or four times what
they did three years ago. Room rent
ais in some. eases have advanced 700
per cent in three years. These are eases
of taking advantage of the needs Of
others for selfish gain and is Just as
honorable as any other form of ex-
tortion Right alongside of these cases
though, are instances where rents have
not been raised at all or so slightly as
to leave the situation actually unjust
to the property owner. In ease of
this kind the landlord last month made
a slight increase of less than two dol
lars per month. The tenant moved
out but before doing so did wanton
damage to the property to the amount
of more than a year s rental This
sort of thing is not uncommon and is
just as dishonorable as the proiteer
ing landlord. In disputes of all kinds
relating to wages, prices, profits, etc,
one is sure to hear each side accuse
the other. As matter of fact the
average of greed remains about the
same in different groups In lambast-
ing the other fellow no pig should for
get his own bristles

As to the value of the law toward

be no question. The law was intended

Reporting Contagious Diseases.
Barre T'inlcs)


One Of the unusual charges brought
in Vermont courts was heard in Barre
municipal court last Saturday, whom a
man was arraigned on the charge of
failure to report a contagious disease
in his family. The law has been on the
statute books for several years but has
rarely been invoked, SO rarely that
many persons are not familiar with the
reading Of the law The respondent
in this case professed unfamiliarity
with the requirement of the statute
which imposed on him the necessity Of
reporting to the health officer any case
of contagious disease in his family; but
when the law was explained to him he
readily agreed that he had violated
the statute through failure TO report a
contagious disease. Many other per
sons would find themselves in the same
position as this respondent were q sim
liar occasion TO arise IN their families !;
they would not know (unless they take
warning from this recent casey that
the law explicitly states that g the head

in which he lives AS it happens
there are no local health officers in Yer
