THE GRAHAM CONVICTION.

The verdict of guilty of grand lar
ceny against Horace f. Graham for
mer governor and state auditor of Yer
mont, rendered at Montpelier yester-
day afternoon by jury of twelve men
is magnificent vindication of Yer
mont justice. Mr. Graham had won
the sobriquet of "Honest Horace ;"
by his fearless administration of the
office of state auditor and as governor
of the state had given Vermont one
of the best business administrations it
ever had. His tireless and efficient
service in behalf of the Vermont bows
called into service of their country
had won for him still greater love and
respect, and it may safely be said
that until it was found he had been
misusing the state funds while auditor
he was one of the most popular exec.
utives the state ever had
knowledge that there had been mis-
use of state funds placed upon the
subordinate officers of his administra-
tion an unpleasant responsibility. So
strong was the regard of Vermonters
for Governor Graham that they con-
tributed $l9,83O4S to the state treas
ury in the hope that restitution would
put an end to the matter But Herbert
G. Barber of Brattleboro, then attor-
ney general, held different view. He
caused an expert examination of the
books and then presented the facts to
a grand jury which returned an in
dictment Of Isl counts of grand lar
ceny and ten for embezzlement
With this Indictment found, there
were still powerful friends who did all
they could to prevent the case being
brought to trial The ablest legal
counsel of the state was secured to de-
fend and there was doubt in some
quarters whether Mr.. Graham would
ever be brought into court on a Grim
inal charge. Duty, however, doomed
larger than policy before the state
officials and Atty. Gen. F. C. Archibald
of Manchester brought the case to
trial, securing as assistant Mr. Bar
Der, who knew the facts of the case
so fully.
The trial itself was more than an
ordinary one. The defense made use
of every art known to jury practice
but without avail. Counsel for the
state produced the facts and the jury
gave a verdict for justice. BY the
act of these twelve good men and true
Vermont proves to the world that hel
laws are made for all, high and low
rich and poor.

recently had the honor of welcoming
a bright young chap who arrived, suit
ease in hand, announcing himself to
be the champion sufferer of Vermont
1t is said to be the proudest moment
of club member s life when he can
drop the shackles that bound his
speech and step onto little platform
and address the organization without
hesitancy. The malady is studied sci
entifcally and treated in the same
way. A stammering tongue is a cross
many people bear, and if there is
known to be a remedy many will seek
it.

While The Meddler doesn t hold
any brief for the insurance companies
he cannot refrain from commenting on
the fact that recent fires have shown
a wide discrepancy between the re-
placement value and the amount Of in
surance carried on local property. In
general, it is sound principle that
requires every insurer to bear a por-
ton Of his risk, but on the other
hand, building costs have risen so rap
idly in the past five or six years that
what might have been adequate in
surance in 1912 would not be consid-
cred anything like sufficient protection
now. The fact that savings banks in
many places have called this matter
to the attention of the owners of prop
erty on which the banks hold mort
cages shows these institutions to be
alive to the situation, and it is moth
ing more than common prudence for
owners of unencumbered property to
be equally, awake. 1855

lbsen Play Wins
Applause Despite
Weakness of Cast
''A An Enemy of the People, -
Portraying Community
Life, Is Presented at
Manhattan Opera House

Few there are who have read the
lines of Ibsen's "An Enemy of the
People," dealing as it does with those
intimate little affairs Of our own pre-
clnct and community, who have not
felt the desire to see it enacted for our
amusement and strengthening of pur-
pose. This explains the large audience
that saw the opening performance OF
the play as presented by Robert Whit
tier at the Manhattan Opera House
last night. What a pity that it could
net have been seen to better advantage !
Mishandled and crudelv done as it
was, the riecc did not, or, rather, could
not, lose the real powerful thread of
craftsman. The theme, that of The
striving poDulace of rural community
conspirng to keep alive its popularity
through falsehood and crookedness on
the part of its civil officials, even in
the face of proof that it's chief assets in
reality were not assets at all, and the
swaying of the public mind from right
to wrong and back again, could not be
lost.
Produced now, in time of govern
mental turmoil and partisan unrest
aEu uncertainty, AN Enemy or the
Iccple" will be Of interest to even
greater numbers. The Ibsen touch of
ringing sarcasm against and condem-
nation of the methods of the powers
that be- brought rounds of applause
But for the tedious portrayal Of the
leading role by Mr.. Whittier, the play
might have been judged adequate. He
struggled for expression and for his
lines SO apparently and so continu-
ously that 1t became a task for his
auaience to remain. at ease. In his
scenes with the burgomaster and chief
Of police, part played admirably by
Elchard W. Temple, he was nearest to
convincing.
Adolf Link, as the adaptive father Of
Mrs. Thomas Stockmann, in a small
part, was pleasing, and two boys, Jack
a. Schlichter and Earle Harvey, did
we'll. Others in the cast were Blanche
Seymour, Augusta Boylston, James s..
Ryan, George Frenger, Harry Hammll,
Re bert Lawler, Paul Ker, Henry Ward,
Leland c. Morris and Charles Hiser.
The play will have an engagement
of two weeks.
