will not be blinded by such a dish Of
gush. Congressman Powers has out
lived his usefulness-except to certain
politicians-as congressman, and a
new man would have far greater in
huence in every respect even during
his first term than Powers now has.
Elect, for instance, live, enterprising
and progressive business man like ex-
Gov. Page as Congressman Powers
successor and this district would
have representative who would ex-
ert greater influence and have
greater power to accomplish good
than the gentleman from Morrisville
ever had. The Free Press says Mr..
Powers is a fine debater. This may
be true, but it will not count much
in his favor He held one of his
face to face" explanations in Rich
ford some weeks ago and some of his
warmest supporters went away from
the meeting saying: Powers ex-
plantations do not explain Taken
as whole, the Free Press editorial
! reads a good deal like final effort
of a dying man to delay the end.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and trust Company of Hyde Park is
one of the solid financial institutions
of the state and great benefit to
the county and town in which it is
located. 1t has a capital of $4,000,
surplus of $37,211.73 and assets of
$747, 118.07. 1t began business Jan.
81, 1889, and one year from that
date had $99,780.61 in deposits.
Jan. 1, 1899, the deposits had in
creased to $488, 1908. 80, and Nov. 25,
1899, to 1861, 906.34. This bank is
run on principles advocated by ex-
Gov. Carroll S. Page, who is it's pres
ident. Every dollar of its assets
invested in Vermont; not a dollar of
poor or doubtful assets" This is
a pretty good showing and proves
that Mr.. Pages ideas of conducting
bank in the interest of Vermont is
all right. In view of the fact that
national legislation on the currency
will figure prominently in congress
! during the next few years, it stands
the voters of this district in hand to
elect as their representative to con-
gress man thoroughly posted in
the matter of finance. Where is there
a man in this district better posted
on the financial problems of the day?
In his hands the interests of the peo-
pie would be safe.-BristoI Herald.

Death of d. L. Moody.

Dwight l.. Moody, the famous
evangelist, died at Mortified, Mass,
last Friday. He leaves wife, a
daughter and two SONS Mr.. Moody
was known in two continents as re-
ligious worker. He began his career
in Chicago when only 10 years old.
Since then there has been no interval
in his activity. He was born in
Northheld, February 5, 1887, and
was the sixth in a family of seven
SONS and two daughters. From the
teaching of class of ragged bows,
whom he found in the streets in 1855,
he became the head of a system of
religious instruction of the greatest
Importance. The passing away OF
Mr.. Moody was not unexpected by
the members of his family and his i'm
mediate circle of friends, although all
had hope until Thursday that he
might survive this attack of disease
some months. The cause of his death
was the general breaking down of his
health due to overwork. His heart
had been weak for long time, and
the exertions of his work the last
month brought on collapse from
which it was impossible for him to
rally.

A Good Thing After All.

1t now looks as if the election of B..
Eel. Roberts, the polygamist, as repre-
sentative in Congress from Utah,
might have far more reaching effect
than was at first supposed or hoped
for. Roberts election caused a wave
of Indignation to spread over the
country from one end to the other,
and protests against permitting him
to take a seat in the national law
making body have deluged every
member of Congress in the country.
The probability is not only that
Roberts will be sent back to Utah as
a deserved rebuke to the people OF
that state for breaking the agree
ment by which they we're permitted
to enter the Union, but it will proba-
bly, result in the passage of an
amendment to the Constitution which
will forever prohibit polygamy in the
United States. 1t is possible also
that a uniform national divorce law
for all the states will be passed by
the present Congress. The lack OF
uniformity in the divorce laws OF the
various states has been a shame and
a scandal for years, and if that evil is
corrected in addition to the effeCtual
stamping out OF polygamy, Roberts
election will prove q blessing in dis
guise. The people of the United
States will sometimes tolerate an
evil or a practice that they are dead
opposed to, just because they are not
aroused. The election of Roberts had
the effect of waking them up. The
special committee to investigate his
case will be practically unanimous in
reporting his seat as vacant. 1t was
a good thing after all.

The Free Press, which is about the
only paper in the state supporting
Congressman Powers for reelection,
says that there is a growing feeling
all over the district that no change
in congressman should be made at
the present time. The Free Press
must think that its readers have no
knowledge of current politics except
ing what they get from that paper.
In this immediate vicinity there is a
very strong sentiment in favor of a
change. Even Pages worst enemies
admit that Powers is out of the
question; and are supporting one of
the other candidates. While Page is
in the lead in this section of Chitten-
den county, there are several other
candidates who will have as strong
following on the first ballot as
Powers.-Green Mountain Press.

Dorman B. Eaton, one of the pio-
neers in the civil service reform move
ment, died at three O'Clock last
Friday morning at his home in New
York city. The cause of his death
was due largely to kidney trouble,
which was aggravated by overwork.
Mr.. Eaton was born in Hardwick
seventy seven years ago. He was a
son of Nathaniel Eaton and Ruth
Bridgman Eaton. One sister, the
mother of Mrs. M. A. Kent of Mont
pelier, died fifty years ago. Mr..
Eaton married Anne s. Foster of
New York, who survives him. He
was in the best sense of the word, a
self made man. He worked his way
through the University of Vermont,
graduating with high honors. He
went at once to New York where he
began the practice of law. During
the latter years of his life Mr.. Eaton
had devoted much time to the study
of municipal law. He rendered valu-
able service in drafting the charter
for Greater New York, and his
authority on municipal matters was
unquestioned.

The Burlington Free Press in an
able editorial advocates the renom-
ination of Congressman Powers. 1t
makes strong point in saying that
as Gen Grout will not be, a candi-
date for reelection there must be a
new man from the second district
and should Judge Powers be sue
ceeded by either of the many aspir-
ants in the first district Vermont
would be represented in the lower
house by entirely new members. In
placing the matter before the voters
in this way it meets the only strong
argument of the opponents of Con-
gresham Powers-or perhaps more
strictly speaking the supporters of
the other candidates-that he has
held the office his share of the time.
As the News pointed out some time
since, it is folly to talk about Judge
Powers misrepresenting Vermont or
any want of ability or interest in his
State. The Free Press has answered
the only statement necessary to be
answered thus far and it remains for
the supporters of the other aspirants
to meet his arguments in a candid
manner -NOrthfeid News.

The expected has happened. The
Free Press of a recent date contained
an editorial giving reasons why H.
H. Powers should be again elected
congressman. 1t reads very much
like the editorial that appeared in
the Free Press during the summer of
1886, when Grandpa Benedict was
urging the reelection of Senator Ed
munds. The argument then used
was to the effect that Vermont con-
tanned no one capable of filling Ed
munds' place in the senate. A few
years later Edmunds resigned and
the then governor, Carroll S. Page of
Hyde Park, appointed Redheld Proc
tor to fill the vacancy and that gem
tleman has been retained ever since.
Proctor has demonstrated that he is
far ahead of Edmunds as a man of
influence and in looking after the in
terests of Vermont. The argument
used by the Free Press in favoring
Powers is, practically, the same as
that favoring Edmunds. 1t shows a
narrow and selfish motive, one that
the people will not approve. The
Free Press is simply.trying to repay
Powers for his aid in securing the
position of collector of customs for
Benedict. 1t would be base ingrati-
tude on the part of Benedict if he
did not. The argument used, how
ever, is too ancient. 1t savors too

 USEFUL. INFORMATION. Here is l a bit of curious, but useful informa- l tion. the absence of which nearly got | a man into serious trouble the other day. He was about to start out on journey and was filling a canteen with ! ice water from a tank which is main- tained for the accommodation of the thirsty passer-by. He is allowed to carry away all his system will hold. i but he is not allowed to carry it away in barrels, buckets and canteens. The proprietor coming up while the man with the canteen was engaged, remon- strated with him. There was some
 back talk and some violence which
 ended with the emptying of a can
 teen. All this is preliminary to the
 information. If man is going to start
 out on a long journey in midsummer
 in this arid climate he had better fill
 canteen with almost anything
 than ice water. Hot water would be
 better, but water direct from a com
 mon hydrant is the best of all Ice
 water in a canteen soon gets as warm
 as the surrounding air and becomes
 tepid and tasteless. It spells just as refrigerated meat spells more quickly than meat which has not been exposed to refrigeration. But water from
 well or from a hydrant in a properly constructed canteen will not only pre- serve it's coolness, but will get little cooler by evaporation. A great many people put ice into 'ollas which serves no useful purpose. As long as the ice lasts the water is, of course, cool, but as soon as the ice has melted the water warns faster than if it were in any other kinG of vessel. It may be
 added that ice melts faster in an ella than it would anywhere else out of the direcs rays of the sun.
