GOV. Fuiler's Valedictory.

The valedictory message which Gov.
Fuller delivered yesterday is devoted to
plain and practical discussion of the affairs
of the state. The message shows that he
has been a faithful student of these affairs,
and as a result of his study and observa-
tion important suggestions are made with
regard to the house of correction, the state
insane asylum at Waterbury, the militia,
our highways, the prohibitory law, and the
savings banks. The facts which are given
i'm that portion of the message devoted to
our liquor legislation are of especial inter-
esr and significance, and they should be
read with care. The apparent growth of
crime under the prohibltory law has been
startling, but Gov. Fuller shows that this
increase is due to the number of victims of
the drink habit who are sent to the house
of correction from localities where the law
is not enforced, and he goes to the root of
the matter by urging that the law be so
changed that the liquor sellers, and the
owners of property on which liquor is sold,
shall be surely reached, and so that there
shall be no escape by them from the penal
ty of their offences In other words, it is
the saloon that must be reached first and
last of all. This ground is that now taken
by the best temperance workers every
where.
In closing his message the retiring gov
ernor alludes with evident pleasure, and
with a touch of genuine feeling, to the i'm
portant social duties and functions which
the executive has been called to fulfill dur
ing the past biennial term, and especially
to his meetings with the Sons and Daugh-
ters of Vermont now resident in other
states. 1t is a fact, cheenully recognized
by every Vermont resident, that in per-
forming these duties Gov. Fuller has been
unsparing of himself, his time and his
means, and on every such occasion he has
so borne himself as amply to maintain
the dignity and good name of the state. In
attending to the practical affairs of his Of
flee he has uniformly shown prudence,
tirmness and just appreciation of the de-
mands of the situation. His undivided
service has been given to the people of Yer
mont and he has made his administration
one which both they and he may always
contemplate with pride and satisfaction.

GRANGE NEWS.

The Valley Fair was the subject of dis
cusson at the last Protective grange meet
ing. While all were proud of its success,
friendly criticism and suggestions were
offered. First among these was mentioned
the need of a larger grand stand and
larger place to feed the multitude. Closed
stables are needed for cows which are
taken out of warm barn to enter the milk
and butter test. Question was raised as to
the large sum of money offered for the cat
tie drawing contest, and arguments were
made on both sides of the subject. The
need of increased space to display farm
products was conceded by all. Everybody
agreed that the Valley Fair is the best
managed fair in New England. In open
ing the discussion Chas. w. Sargent re-
called the hurried way in which the first
fair was launched, nine years ago, and the
progress since made.
A varied program is offered for the meet
ing next Tuesday evening. Important
business will be transacted, and the ques-
tion, "What is the right of suffrage" will
be discussed.

THE BROWNIES EARNED 500 MON
DAY NIGHT.

The Brownies held festival on the town
hall stage on Monday evening, and large
company enjoyed their pranks and antics
not for 80 minutes, as announced; nearer
60-and were left, like Oliver Twist, de-
manding more, and like him, not getting
it. A few more rehearsals would have
taken away a noticeable dependence upon
a leader behind the scenes, but on the
whole the performance was very enjoyable.
Christie McCourt made a charming girl,
the Brownie queen, while George Childs as
policeman was the star, whose dancing and
amusing tricks captured the house from
his first appearance. Ralph Cain as the
Chinaman, Allie Dugan as Indian, and
Hugh Croft as one of the dudes were es-
pecially good, and Charlie Stolte made a
sedate Uncle Sam. Some of the chOruses,
particularly the closing one, were rendered
with a great deal of spirit, and received
warm applause, as did the Brownie queens
and the pOliceman's solos. The one-act
comedy which followed brought out some
excellent acting. The cast was as follows:
Mrs. Althrop, Mrs. James Pullen; Maj.
Arthur Wellington Twombly, Fred Cressy;
Hon. Henry Belsze, Chas. Brasor; Roland
Oliver, Harry Webster; Bessie, the maid,
Nora Cavanagh.
The receipts, which were devoted to pay
ing the expenses of the boys to st. Adams
to attend the state choir convention,
reached 800 net. The entertainment was in
charge of Charles Brasor, who has put
much hard work into its preparation.

From the Middlebury Register.

The hitherto unexplained occasion for
bringing into being the weakling known
or, rather, named, for no one but its orig
inators ever knew anything about it-as
the Vermont Young Mems Republican
club is slowly appearing. The thing, it
will be remembered, had its birth at Mont
pelier on the day of the Republican state
convention. Officers were then elected
and there the story ends. The club never
did anything for the party or for any man
in it. Now comes the announcement,
however, that Lawyer d. j. Foster of Bur
lington, the president of the club, wants
the Office of state tax commissioner; where
upon the milk in the cocOanut begins to
leak out. He is heralded- probably be-
cause of the achievements of his Club in
winning votes-as ''a wide-awake leader in
the new movement" By "new move
mentn is doubtless meant Mr.. Fosters new
bid aud effort for office. Two years ago he
was an active candidate for the place of
state superintendent of education, but he
seems to have given up that berth as unat-
tainable. If he gets what he is now after,
it should be for some other reason than the
value of his "club'' to the Republicans OF
the state.

Gov. Moodbmr,,s Messnge.

The recommendations made by Gov.
Woodbury. in his inaugural message relate
in the main to an increase of capacity of
the house of correction and the state i'll
sane asylum; to the secret ballot law, the
preservation of our forests, our highways,
and the plohibitory law. The new eNecu-
tive evidently believes that the stringent
provisions of our new ballot law can be
somewhat relieved without impairing its
secrecy, and his suggestions are in this di-
rection. Every observant man and we'll
wisher of his state will warmly endorse
what is said about the preservation of our
forests from wanton destruction. Gov.
Woodbury. believes, with Gov. Fuller, in
the use of the state highway tax for per
manent road improvement, and not for the
annual patching up. His suggestion that
the tax be so apportioned that each county
may spend its own money appears to be
wise and just.
Gov. Woodbury's well-known position as
a consistent temperance man and a sup
porter of the prohibtory law gives weight
to his remarks on this subject. lie does
not narrowly hold that prohibition is the
only means of restriction or suppression OF
the liquor evil, but for Vermont it is the
best, and the efficiency of the law will de
pend not so much on the way its stringency
| is increased as on the sincerity with which
public opinion sustains it.
While viewing with well-founded appre
hension the results of the new tariff law
with its discrimination against Vernon
lumber, wool and other products, Gov
Woodbury. refuses to be a pessmist, bu
holds that our lowest point of depression il
population and development has beer
touched and that in the future the drift o
the times will be for the states upbuild
ing. These are the words of loyal Yer
monter, and we believe they have soliC
and assured basis of prediction.

IN THE LOCAL FIELD.
A RED LETTER DAY
For Sunday school Worlsers---Addresses
by B. +. Jacobs of Chicago.

Sunday was a red letter day for Sunday
school workers and others interested if not
actively engaged in the work. when b. F.
Jacobs of Chicago, a Sunday school worker
of almost world wide reputation, addressed
three gatherings-one in the morning at
West BrattleborC, a meeting of men in the
afternoon at the town hall, and a large
audience in the evening at the Baptist
church. Mr.. Jacobs is a man of great
personal magnetism, who has something to
say worth hearing, and knows how to say
it. His own wide personal experience and
observation enable him to speak fOrcibly
on all Sunday school matters, and teachers
who heard his address Sunday evening
must have been led to look at their work
with new sense of its dignity, importance
and responsibility. Mr.. Jacobss remarks
were based upon Matt. XVIII, 1920: "All
power is given unto me in heaven and
earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all ma
tions, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost, teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever | have commanded you; and
10, | am with you all the days" The four
"alls" were dwelt upon by the speaker:
All power all nations, all things, all days.
The field of the individual worker was
shown to be very broad one, and the need
of more faithful cultivation than it is now
receiving was strongly emphasized. How
to keep the young men in the Sunday
school, a question which is perpeXing
many Sunday school teachers and superin-
tendents, was discussed by the speaker,
who gave as examples some classes where
this had been done very successfully; but
it means hard, persistent, faithful, per-
sonal work, snch as many teachers are too
faint-hearted or Indifferent to give to it.
The advantage of state, county and town
ship organizations for Sunday school work,
with an able man in charge of the entire
field, was urged. The collection which
was to have been given to the defraying of
Mr.. JacObs's expenses, was at his request
turned over to the state Sunday school as
socation to be used for prosecuting their
work.
The meeting of young men which Mr..
Jacobs addressed at 4 o'clock in the after
noon was held in the town hall and quite
largely attended. The subject of the ad-
dress was GLOW to win the race" Life
was compared to a race and the Importance
of making a success and winning in it
was clearly shown. The training that is
given athletic teams was used as an illus
tration of what it costs to enter race.
The young men were asked to examine and
study the life of apostle Paul, and have it
to say, as Paul did, 81 have fought a good
| fight, have finished my course, | have
kept the faith"

The warnings of the West India cyclone
resulted in the saving of many lives and
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of
property on the lower Atlantic coast. All
vessels at Savannah, Charlestown, Norfolk
and other leading ports were detained.
The warnings could not reach seamen on
the Florida coasts and many wrecks there
are reported. a Key West despatch says
80 bodies have been washed up along the
reefs within few days. This experience
is another striking illustration of the ben
efts derived from maintaining a weather
bureau.

The stampede of the New York Demo
cratic state convention to David b. Hill as
the nominee for governor, by unanimous
vote last week, has thrown the party, out
side the thick-and thin Tammany element,
into panic of combined rage and fright
1t is hardly conceivable that Hill sought or
wanted the nomination, and the indica-
tions are that the convention turned to him
as forlorn hope-as the only man of
prominent leadership who could be pre-
vailed on to make the fight this year.
There are threats of bolt, with Charles S.
Fairchild or some other leading anti-snap-
per to head an independent ticket.

VIM. L. Wilson, the Democratic tariff
leader, was banqueted by the Chamber of
Commerce in London last week. Mr.. Will
son said, "Our American protectionists
have been building defenses to keep you
and other nations from competing with us
in the home market. The tariff reformers
are breaking down these defenses.' The
chairman, in his response, said of the Dem
ocratic tariff bill benefits have already
been experienced in England. Furnaces
have been re0pened in Wales and York
shire, and an impetus has been given to
the textile industries" The claim that
the Wilson bill was framed in the interests
of foreign industries seems to be verified.

Ex-senator Edmunds received an ova-

ing as the guest of the Norfolk club, in the
banquet hall at Young's hotel, Boston,
and spoke for an hour on the political situ-
alton. Although choosing to consider
himself no longer in public life, Mr.. Ed
munds made it clear, in his most incisive
way, that he is more firmly convinced
than ever of the incompetency of the Dem
ocratic party, and that the experience of
the past two years has demonstrated anew
that the prosperity and development of the
country depend on the prevalence and en-
forcement of fundamental Republican
principles-which are in fact the principles
of true democracy.
