Now, whatever may be claimed in
behalf of western mortgages, the
time has certainly come when we
should apply to this matter the homely
maxim which, teaches that we should
not put too many eggs in one basket.
1t is true that these investments en-
able our banks to declare larger divi-
dends than they otherwise could, but
we should not lose sight of the we'll
known principle which should always
govern savings banks, that large divi-
dends are of secondary Importance
as compared with absolute safety,
Confidence in our entire system of
savings banks is all important to the
end that our workingmen and middle
classes, for whose benefit they were
more especially established, may use
them more and more extensively.
Disaster to any one of them inhicts
an injury upon all and is a shock to
public confidence which causes ire
parable injury to the general welfare
of the State. Experience demon
strates clearly and conclusively that
high rates of interest are not the at
tractive feature of savings banks in
the eyes of the depositor, but rather
absolute freedom from any misgiv-
ings or uneasineSs with reference to
the safety of the principal. The
banks paying the largest dividends
are not those which show the most
healthy growth. But even if the re-
verse were true, still the State owes
it to the general welfare of all to see
that such a policy is pursued as shall
prevent, as far as may be, the posi-
bility of disaster to any. There are
several savings banks in Vermont
which l believe should have divided
fully one-half per cent less per an
mum to their depositors, during the
last four years, investing the extra
half per cent in premiums upon first
class municipal bonds, bonds of cities
and counties whose credit ranks so
high that in case of any financial
stringenCy they would be readily con-
vertible without sacrifice. To do
otherwise is to invite a run upon the
weaker institutions upon the slightest
indication of approaching financial
disturbance. Let those who prefer
high rates to absolute safety with
draw their funds from savings insti-
tutions. Trustees should cheerfuliy
welcome such Withdrawals as being
for the good of their institution. To
try to attract deposits by high rates is
subverting the purpose for which say
ings banks were established, and in
my judgment is little less than a
crime.
1t is my we'll settled conviction that
the law allowing investments in west
ern mortgages should be so amended
as to permit only 40 per cent of the
entire assets of any savings bank or
trust company to be invested therein,
and the law with reference to divi-
dends so changed as to prohibit the
declaring of more than 4 I-2 per cent
per annum, until a net reserve of at
least 10 per cent, without including
furniture, fixtures, premiums or I'M
collected interest, be accumulated
and that until a net reserve of at least
E per cent be. accumulated the divi-
dends be restricted to 4 per cent.

Where the Central Is.

From the ST JohnShUiy RepuIicdl'
The Central Vermont influence is
being actively used for Col Wood
bury, as it was two years ago, when
heran for observation-disclosures. That
influence is strenuously opposed to
Mr.. Page. We do not know why, but
the natural presumption is that it is
because either he has stood between
the people and the rich and powerful
corporation, or because Gov. Smith
has some favor to ask of the next
Governor which he fears NJ. Page
would refuse However that may be,
the fact remains that the railroad
people are working against Mr. Page,
and their accredited newspaper organ
can not find language bitter enough
to denOunce him with.
A month from now we shall know
whether the Central Vermont is to
name another Governor for us or

Memorial Day.

Memorial Day is again at hand.
Since 1867, when Gen. John A. Log
an. then Commander-in-Ch of the
Grand Army of the Republic, issued
his order to the Grand Army Posts
from east to west that on May Both
the living heroes of the late struggle
should honor their dead comrades by
paying tokens of respect to their
memory and strewing garlands OF
flowers upon their graves, Memorial
Dav has been observed in every city
and hamlet throughout the length
and breadth of the land by the Grand
Army, no matter how few or many
the graves filed with the remains OF
the soldier dead. Since that time,
too. the number of those who rest
beneath the sod has increased so rap
idly that in many places but hand
full remain to do honOr to regiment.
The day has been set apart as a holl-
day. Old memories are revived. in
cidents never to be forgotten are re-
lated by the battle SCARED veteran to
his children and a double purpose is
served.
Not only is honor done those to
whom we owe so much, but a spirit
of patriotism is inculcated in the
minds of the youth of the country
which passing time will never efface.
Memorial Day is a lasting institu-
ton.

The why and wherefore of the Rut-
land HeraIfs move for Judge Royce
has caused some questioning. 1t is
generally supposed that the Herald
must have believed that Judge Royce
would approve a high license law.
Or does the Central Vermont wish to
have an extra candidate in the field
fearing that its first reliance may fail ?
The introduction of Judge Royce's
name certainly followed close upon
the visit of a well-known st. Adams
gentleman to Rutland. Aside from
this mild and harmless curiosity
Judge Royce's candidacy hardly
seems to be taken seriously.

Not a Political Machine.


The Commander Of a Grand Army
post in Caledonia county received a
letter from a friend of Col. Woodbury.
urging him to use his influence with
his post to swing it into line in sup
port of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS sam
bition for promotion. This COM
mander replied that his post was not
political organization. 1t is be-
coming evident daily that there are
hundreds of Old soldiers in Vermont
who feel in just this way about the
evident attempt to make the Grand
Army a political machine. They feel
that it is time to cry Il halt when the
Office of department commander is
used for electiOneering purposes ;
when posts discuss in their meetings
such questions as whether the fact of
having been in the service constitutes
IA claim upon the office of governor;
and when appeals in behalf fla GER
tain candidate for office are sent to
officers Of the different posts,
They know, as one gallant veteran
of the Old Vermont Brigade recently
said, that the veterans have been
well treated in this state; that they
have been the object of honor and
reverence such as few men receive;
that although they form but about
one-twelfth of the voting strength Of
the republican party of Vermont,
they have received the larger share of
the high offices of the state for many
wears: and that all has been given as
the free-will offering of a grateful
people.
These men. members of the Grand
Army, have Il strong love for the
patriotic order whose bonds were
welded amid the furnace heat of re-
bellion and they see that its honor
will be furnished and its usefulness
impaired if tits used as machine for
furthering one mans political ambi-
ton. Their good Judgment will re-
buke any such prostitution of a noble
organization.

adequate protection to all American

The House of Representatives with
its three hundred or more members
has altogether too small a number
of really able men. To stand up be-
side men like Mckinley, Reed, Lodge
and few others requires ability of
the highest order, and Vermont
wants no other kind.
Such a man must be not only a
learned man, but he must have also
practical wisdom. He should have a
thorough knowledge of the needs of
the whole cOuntry-and not only be
able to meet the requirements of his
own constituency, but he should also
be large enough to comprehend the
needs and the demands of the entire
country. He should be man of
keen intellect, sound Judgment, and
possessed of an unlimited quantity
of common sense. He should look
after the interests of the farmer and
laborer as well as those Of the manu-
facturer and merchant. The product
of the farmer and of the skilled labor
er constitute the basis of our pros
perity. These interests should be
carefully guarded and upheld in all
legitimate ways.
A man who possesses all these
qualifications in a marked degree, is
Judge II. H. Powers of MorrisviIe.
Born and raised among farmers, he
has passed his life thus far in the ru-
raj district, and yet he has by virtue
of his ability come to be regarded as
one of the ablest men in our State.
He is courteous and dignifed, yet in
all his intercourse is one of the COM
mon people. He has been a close
student of men and measures, and is
fully abreast with all genuine reforms.
The District owes it to itself and
to the whole State to see that Judge
Powers is chosen as the worthy sue
cessor of Congressman Stewart, and
we believe it will too.-Burlington

Mr.. Pages canvass maintains its
strength well and has gained steadily
in the face of the personal Islander
campaign. This being the fact, it
might be supposed that our friends,
the enemy, would become weary of
the low plane on which they are max
ing their canvass. On the contrary.
only a few days ago men in Mr.
Woodbury's interest were in Knowl-
ton, Que. taking affidavits in regard
to Mr.. Pages presence there during
the war, presumably with the inten-
ton of rehabilitating the ancient and
exploded Canadian Islander. The
voters of Vermont may look for these
affidavits in some form or other be-
fore long; or perhaps it is designed
to spring them on the public at the
eleventh hour.
