Jacob Gray Estey, the new Colonel
of the Vermont regiment is now, 1t app
pears, busying himself in setting 10 one
side every appointed officer in order
that he can fulfil the promises that he
made before the election to various
political wire pullers with whom he ex-
changed appointments for votes. One
of the first of his notorious acts is to ask
for the resignation of Captain Joseph
II, jackson as Surgeon in order that
one of his PROMISES may be given
the position that has been held with
honor since the call for troops in the
Spanish American war. True worth
and merit cuts but little figure with our
new Colonel, First he steps over the
head of the most deserving man of all to
appoint Major surgeon from the ranks
of those who stayed at home and then
not content with this he asks this same
man to resign his position altogether
because he had likewise promised the
position to some one else in exchange
for vote. Gray Estey we are indeed
surprised at you. As good soldier rs
you are should refrain from exhibiting
such despicable traits. Joseph II. Jack
son has served in the National Guard
for twelve years and has been an honor
to the regiment either us Corporal,
Private or Captain and now
you so far forget yourself as to turn
him down."

''Husks,' said John and said no
