sentiment in favor of action. In one
of the letters from a motorist from
outside the state, the declaration is
made that sin spite of the beautiful
scenery all through New Hampshire,
my wife and ] decided that it would lie
our last motor trip unless the roads
were put in good condition" The bulk
of the criticism seems to center about
the washboardy condition of the road
surface and the clouds of dust The
summer has been one of the worst ever
experienced in northern New England
for keeping roads in repair, because OF
the absence of the usual number OF
rainfalls. Rain serves well toward
preserving the roads as it prevents The
picking up of the particles of road
surfacing by the machines, and at The
same time it prevents much OF the
dust nuisance. When the rain does
not come to the aid of the highway
department the results are disastrous,
as they have proven in New Hamp-
shire and, in lesser degree in Yer
mont. But the states cannot depend
upon rain as the great protector OF
roads; they must do great deal them
selves. New Hampshire seems to have
neglected its former splendid roads to
certain extent.

Now that Vermont's fish and game
commissioner has copied from the sec
rotary of states books and had begun
to suspend licenses of hunters and fish
ermen, just as the secretary of state
has been suspending licenses to oper-
ate motor vehicles, there is likely to
be a greater degree of care on the
part of the hunters and fishermen.
The justice of revoking or suspending
licenses for deliberate violation of the
fish and game laws of the state is
readily apparent; those who indulge
in infractions of the law while others
religiously observe that law deserve
to have their privileges taken away
from them. The course of Commits
sioner Sheldon commends itself.

Bethel was a late conner in the "h'g
league of Vermont but it deserves
honorable mention at least. The de-
vslopment of fast baseball teams in
several Vermont communities during
the past summer demonstrates that it
is possible to have a high-class at
traction in this line under the proper
guidance and, perhaps, with reasonable
restrictions as to expenditures. No
one wishes to see a return of North
ern league days with all their extrava-
gance, but a great many people would
like to see, another year, a league com
bination in Vermont with pennant and
state championship at stake. Posi-
bly, the condition of business by that
time may make such an enterprise IN
sports seem feasible. During the long
winter league there viii be time
enough to talk about it,

Discovery of gold in the town OF
Hill in New Hampshire will set The
tongues to wagging again about theii
belief that New England contains pay
ore. 1t has been the current belief
for century, perhaps, that some day
gold will be dug out of the hills OF
New England in sufficient quantitie:
to make prospecting worth while. The
belief may some time be backed "
by realization, but at the present time
there is little to substantiate the claim
of pay ore.

The Stately Step of The Judge.

The state press has been practically
a unit in favoring Gov, Hartness ap-
pointment of julius Wilcox to the

success even some who would much
have preferred a man a little older. 1t
looks to many like a good thing TO
get young men on the bench. Recent
appointments have been heading that
way, and none better have been made
than those in the last few years Look
them over and judge for yourself. All
of which reminds us of the hurrah
that occurred when Gov Fletcher tried
to do the same thing when he APP
pointed Robert E. Healy of Bennington
to the supreme bench. We all know
about that episode But just the same
no better appointment was ever made
to the Vermont bench than that OF
Robert Healy. He didn't ask for the
job, either Gov. Fletcher knew the
stuff was there. But julius has es.
capped all this. Now if we are per.
mitted to advise him on one thing be.
fore he gets seated we are going to
ask him to be sure and get the judicial
step, which they all get sooner or later

The big paving job is moving right
along. Workmen are now engaged in
laying the last of the curb and gutter
in front of the Censor office. The big
steam shovel has eaten its way up
south Main Street several blocks. AS
soon as the reinforcing arrives the
rolling of the street and laying of
pavement will begin on three blocks
of North Main Street, and two blocks
of this section win be completed and
ready for travel before the fair, I'M
less something unforeseen occurs.

was taken i'll, Tuesday and that has
slowed up the work materially.
1t comes to our attentionthat some
of the danger signals put up by the
construction crew to safeguard the
travelling public have been knocked
down and the red lanterns broken and
some stolen. This is a most serious
offense under the law, and we believe
no one would be guilty of this either

they realized TO what penalty they
subjected themselves to, not to men,

NEGRO BOUND OVER TO
 CRIMINAL SUPERIOR COURT

Carl Brown, negro, Who has been about the village of Mantle for about two years, was bound over to the criminal term of the supreier court on a charge or assault with intent to kill by Justice of the Peace Marion R, Davis in Mi antic Friday night. Bonds were fixed at $500 and in default he was commit ted to the county jail in New London.
 Brown is said to have entered the boiler room of tue Thames Bleachery and Dye Works in Mantle early Friday morning and held up Watchman Frank Beebe at the point of a gun. demanding money or his life. At first Beebe thought it was a joke but naon discov- cred that Brown was serious. Beebe told him he only had 35 cents but if he would wait he would get him more. He hastened to the telephone and called Constable Charles Tubbs and Attorney Marion R. Davis both of whom hurried to the bleaehery
 On their arrival there, Constable Tubbs went around the building one way and Attorney Davis the other. As Constable Tutohs was about to enter the boiler room, he was confronted by Brown who held him up at the point of revolver. Constable Tubbs took the revolver away from Brown and upon examining it found that it was a .22 calibre loaded with blanks.
