Leniency and honor were never be- ing more ‘daringly tested than by Sheriff Frank H. Way of Montpelier, Vt, ‘who successfull? carries his humanitarian ideas of the manage- ment of the prisoners to extremes, but very few shetiffs will venture to fol- low along his free and indulgent lines. Sheriff Way placed all of the 25 pris- oners in the jail upon their honor and allowed them to attend Salvation Army meetings during the lust week. Every one of the prisoners promptly returned to his cell at the close of the meetings. One of the men was heard to femark that if any one had at- tempted to violate his word of honor to the sheriff the other 24 would have bent every effort to have retaken him. This is where a pretty good lot of isoners prove themselves worthy of which a liberal spirit- extends to them. o indulgenc ed jail keeper FEARING A STATE TAX. The Vermont legislature for 1910 has made such a plunge for good roads that it is being charged with ex travagance.

Upon this | oint the Rutland News sayi “It will be very strange if in the inds of some taxpayers the general | issembly of 1910 will not he stamped | | as one of extravagance. The more| timid ones are aiready fearing a direct I state x as the outcome of the un- | usual expenditures. The more pro- | sTessive minds, however, have no such | fear, but if a direct state tax does | come they will be reconciled to it by reason of the fact that the money has been expended for most worthy pur- poses and in line of substantial im- provements. course, has been the direction of permanent highways and-to this in- crease no man who has. the interests The biggest increase, of in of Vermont at heart will object, be- canse good roads are the very best possible investment for the state.” EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Bulletin recognizes that it would e a good thing if {he people wko feel like speaking a good word now and then would write an interesting letter for publication. We know how the average man and woman shrinks therefore those who prefer to use a pen name can do so without hesitancy, since this fashion prevailed in the day of Addison’s Spectator and has been constant in literature and in letters to the press ever since. The Bulletin doesn’t know how many people in . total population approaching 29,000 will be moved to take advantage of an invitation to say good things about but if there are 300, or 150, or even 75 who feel the spirit move thére is @ chancs to make a little block of letters under this head attractive for The Bulletin and good for the city.
