A TESTIMONIAL TO DEWEY.
The Excellent suggestion of Editor
French of the Brattlebor" Phoenix.

All Normontcrs will be Interested in the

French OF the Brattleboro Phoenix.
How would it do, by the way, for the
people of Vermont to make some express
sion ON their own account of the regard
they 50 universally feel for this fellow
Ncrmuntcr and stauuCh son of the Green
Mountains, who stands out as the ore

to see Il testimonial to Dewey madc by
popular subscription (his own check is

magnificent sword or house to live I'm all
ter he rctircs from the navy, or some 9TH

the wish of those who give the money
Other people think the expression shouI Il
come through action by the State Lcgis-
laturc. If any newspaper in the State has
AN opinion ON the subject or If there is
any popular feeling in regard to IT, this
IL a good time to talk about it and let
II he known"
An original suggestion that has many
things TO commend it Is that the me-
moi ial take the form of "a scholarship at
Norwich University, whore the admiral
was educated, to be known as the Dewey
scholarship. 1t would be AN honor to the
former student of the institution and
would be enduring.
