Gov Theodore Roosevelt shows his good
sense in Directing to the fummcry which
has become so prevalent in forms of of
fetal address. He desires that "Your lex
eellency" be dropped when he is address
ell, and that he be called just governor.
This is sensible. That the governors Of
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
should be designated as EXcellcncies is
all right, because that title is given 10
them in the constitution OF those States
But in Vermont there is no constitutional
or statutory sanction for the designation
Til within "A generation past PLAIN gov
ernor" was title enough for our governors
though some of them were bigger Iner
than some of their successors: and /,
would be quite as dignifed and as we'll j
in this State we should return to thu
simpler Gus tom of our fathers.

In other words Burlington with more
than double the population of any OF the
above towns, except Rutland, and with
perhaps as much government business as
all OF these put together has had the least
money expended on it's federal building
The government business here has far out
grown the quarters provided for it and
true economy and care for it's own bust
ness requires that the government should
provide a new and adequate building.
