An Equitable Representation,

The Osceola Outline discusses the
basis Of representation that ought
to he observed in the calling of the
Senatorial convention, and very
emphatically says that it is of the
opinion that the call should be based
upon the population. We have
been of the same opinion in regard
to calling ull bodies of this charac-
ter for some time past, but VIC con-
fcss that an examination of the sub
jcct more closely reveals, as We
shall show, a morecquitable system,
viz: that of basing the number of
delegates upon the number of Re-
publican votes cast at some general
election. The representation which
we wish to secure in a convention
is not representation Of The pop-
1lo,ioa, nor Of the aggregate vote of
the county but representation of
the Republican roteyy of the county.
The only manifestation of the num-
bcr of Republican voters in coun-
ty. is the number that 90 to the
polls and deposit their ballots. IF
there are any others in a county
we have no way of finding them out
except by common report or opin-
ion OF certain persons, which of
course, cannot be any safe or sat
isfactory criterion to go by. This
position we presume will not be
questioned as to it's justice or fair
ness, for we do not wish to send
men to a convention to represent
Democratic voters unless it be a
Democratic Convention. Republi-
cans alone arc to be represented
there, and if We base the call upon
the population or upon the whole
number of votes cast, We fail to Sc
cure just representation. A call
based upon this plan will give the
senatorial convention the following
delegates, taking $50 as a basis:

that this basis does not help Man.

plan cannot be looked upon as one
proposed through any selfish motive
whatever, but VIC recommend it with
sincerity, believing it to be the on
" just and logical method of ap-
pointing delegates to political con-
vcntions. 1t is truc,'it seems to
give Oceana county an advantage
which she never before possessed,

1t is Republican representation that
we are after and we think this plan
secures it more thoroughly than any
other that has been proposed.

Obituary.
WARRINGTON KEYRS. ESQ.

Washington Reyes, esq, well known
and prominent citizen of Reading died at
Fclchvillc, May s. He was stricken with
paralysis and fingered for five days, when
| death came. He was born in Reading
September 2, 1902. His first wife was
Eliza, daughter Of Ebenezer Robinson, by
whom he had daughter, who married W.
Nj. Williams, of New York city. His Sec
ond wife was Au,illa Fay of Springfield,
who survives him. He was an energetic,
enterprising farmer, who was held in
esteem by his fellow townsmen, who had
honored him with nearly all the local offices
of the town. He represented Reading
several years IN the legislature. He resid-
ed at South Reading until four years ago
when he removed TO Felchyille, to spend
his days more at leisure than the life of the
farm allowed. Our townsman, Il. d..
Reyes, one of the leading merchants in
Western Vermont, is an adopted son.
His funeral was attended at Felchville,
on Wednesday, May 10, the religious ser
vices being conducted by Rev. Moses Kid
der of Woodstock.

York as they are now since 1869, and the
Tribune says this "ehows very forcibly the
" depression of business While here, on
the contrary, the discounts have been large
ly Increasing since October, being now over
seventy thousand dollars more than in De-
cember-and these loans and discounts
represent money in actual use for the car
rying on of business enterprises, and in
actual circulation among the people. 1t
shows, moreover, that tho banks arc strain
ing every nerve to carry out the primary
object of banks-the accommodation OF
the people, and that they arc disposed to
do their share toward making money cir
culate freely.
The statements seem to show another
thing, and that is, that there is no fouDda-
lion for the demand for more money. There
seems to be n plenty of money as
the line Of deposits show. The Rut-
land banks alone having six hundred
and seventy thousand dollars, an average Of
sixty-seven dollars per capita OF the popula-
ton of the town. The other banks in the
county had, in December, total Of depos-
its Of over four hundred and sixty-six
thousand dollars--subiect to check, Sal,
507 %; demand certificates, 1924 100. 10
which added to the deposits in the Rutland
banks would give us over one million ode
hundred and thirty-six thousand dollars,
or, with the savings banks deposits added,
one million seven hundred thousand dol
lara, an average OF tifty-two dollars fifty
cents per capita of the population of The
county. This represents money, aside from
notes, MORTGAGES, ctc.-although some OF
it 10 so invested. and shows a comparative
money wealth which few counties can
equal. The demand certificates Of deposi!
and the savings bank deposits, aggregaiing
one million two hundred thousand dollars
represent the surplus money of the people
the money which the people know not how
| TO use, or arc afraid to trust themselves t.
use, and shows an average Of thirty dollarI
| per cdpitd Of the population of the county
| There is money enough 10 the county, thu
aaks are doing their share TO put it int
circulation, and ii only needs confidence t.
keep it in circulation and start up bushes

Political Matters.
Editor Rutldnd Globe: Once l was
young, but it was long time ago. re-
member Of hearing great deal said about
Mr. Adams "Alien and Sedition Laws" );
his was shortly docked into law in the
singular, aud it was long time before
learned there were two but the discussion
on that subject continued until the en-
)argo crowded it out and nothing more
was heard of it until the Inauguration of
"Poland's Gag Law" Then the mighty
md valiant mounted the stump and in the
most effective and grandiloquent dis
plays, enlightened the natives on the sub
iect, and by shoe and harrow" compar-
son, informed us wherein the comparison
held good, that is, the hoe is like with the
harrow and the harrow is with the hoe,
and they both together, good lord.
This put Judge Poland out of congress
and supplied his place us it did. Now the
thing is done, even the little things, who
pulled the wires and packed the conven-
ions, really have sense enough to be
ashamed of it.

ye may be fortunate enough to succeed.
We must wait until VIC ascertain what sort

.dopted for public opinion they make
public opinion-the people have no more
% do with it than they have of making

We have very little, if any, less than a
million men who regard themselves as
amply qualified for that Office, but we

me at lime, and after the Cincinnati con
gention shall have closed all it's trades, and
'etted public opinion, it will be in ample
season to determine what, under all the cir
cumstances, we had better do.
We have another glorious muddle, and
that 10 the selection OF a candidate for gov
-rnor. We have one now, who has been
weighed and not found wanting he is per
,istent, able and honest, and understands
ur laws and institutions and the interests
and necessities OF the people he is pru-
lent and not blown about by every wind
~ u"ctine, noi ny every Httle miserable
excitement that is started he has
neld the Office but one term. Why
'hould we not avail ourselves of hil

tent man that has been tried,it would seem
70 me TO be the part of wisdom to continue
that employ ment until we are sure we can

ne found who knows the proposed candi-
iates who would dare say that Gov. Peck

heir money, which their daddies cheated
out or the poor and gave them, and for va
rious other satisfactory reasons.
The wire workers are not so numerou,
here as they are in many places, and the

Another Runaway Pond.

There is a little pond in Glover covering
about 1000 acres called Stone pond that the
people have stood in fear Of for years. The
only thing that keeps it from running away
as did Dry pond Go years ago, and carrying
death and destruction for miles, is an old
rotten dam built fifty years ago. A man
named McGaffey owns the property and
refuses to put it in safe condition. Dur
ing the freshet last week it was expected
the pond would break away and number
of men went there for the purpose of maxi
ing it more secure, but McGaffey met
them with an ak and threatened to split the
first mans head open that touched it.
They finally withdrew and called on the
authorities for assistance, which was rem
dered, and gang of men worked night
and day to keep the water confined so
great was the danger and excitement that
a number of families moved back on the
hills. Should the pond go and there is
every reason to believe it will, Glover vii
age and Barton Landing would be CON-
pletely swept away, and the damage sus-
| tanned incalculable.
