LETTERS FROM THE PEOLPE.
For Senator from the South Side Of the
Winooski.
To the Editor of The Free Press

To the Editor of The Free Press:
1t seems to be conceded that Hines
burgh IL entitled to present n candidate for
senator for Chittenden county. from the
south side this year. We have a man to
present who we think will I'll the position
with credit to himself and honor to the
ounty. Ono who started in life poor boy,
yet In spite of all obstacles obtained good
education at Beeman academy and Castle
ton Normal school, graduated as an NJ. d.
from Howard University at Washington,
d. c., practlced his profession with extra
ordinary success for twenty years.
In 1898 he began to study law.
and in 1901 he graduated as one of
the honor men from the Albany Law
school with the degree Of l.. l.. b. Last
October he passed the examination for
permission to practice in the courts OF Yer.
mont being second in n class Of IT, and
bids fair to make as good q record as a
lawyer as he has as a physician. He has
invested his savings in farms, in which he
has shown his usual good Judgment, and
which has put him In touch with farmers
30 that he can be relied on to do all in his
power, In the interests OF that class Of his
constituents. 1t is seldom that we car
present so good an all around man for this
honorable office, as DR.. c. j. Russell OF
|Hinesburgh. 1t Is needless to say that he
Is Vermont republican.

COLD COMFORT.
(From the Brandon Union.)


We extend our sympathies to the st. AL
bans Messenger From the Messengers
standpoint it was very unkind of Mr.,
Clement to enter the race just at this time,
as his only purpose in cTowdlng in was to
deliver Mr.. Proctor left-handed swing.
When some OF our newspaper brothers
suggested that Mr.. Proctor was using I'M
due energy in precipitating himself into
the contest the Messenger asked "why?'
It also inquired II Mr.. Proctor wasn't Of
lager? Wasn't man OF ability and
Responsibility" 1t was then a "laudable'
aspiration for any citizen to desire to be-
come governor Of his own state. and, in
fact to execute most any kind Of somer-
snult to get there. Now. why in the world
doesn't this all apply to Percival w. Glenn
entH Ne understand he Is Of age and
We never heard his ability or responsibility
questioned. More than this. we haven't
heard that Mr.. Clement assured his friends
that he would not be candidate. Possibly
the Messenger feels grieved because it Is
not permitted the pleasure of supporting
Mr.. Clement but it should not have
rushed so into the conflict. 1t would
only have taken two weeks longer to have
waited another fortnight.
However. everybody will understand that
Mr.. Clement is really the Messenger $
ideal candidate and sympathize with the
Messenger that 1t was so premature in ty
ing Itself up. Mr.. Clement Is a nabob, and
so is the messenger. Mr.. Clement is a
railroad man, and so is the Messenger.
Mr.. Clement Ia a high license, local opt ion
man. and so Is the Messenger. Mr. Clem
emit IL fer revising the tax laws Of YER
nebt, AID so Is the Messenger. Mr.. Glen

SUMNER NORMAL

A Normal, beginning May 10Th and
closing July 3rd will be held Mt Nava-
sofa, Texas. The object Of the school
will be threefold.
First, to aid those who may desire
TO secure state certificates, or 10 raise
those already held. Second, to ac-
accommodate a great number OF teach
ers who may attend desiring TO more
thoroughly familiarize themselves
with their profession, prepare for
more effective school work and thus
secure better salaries. Third, those
who may desire TO take special work,
preparatory TO entering college, or TO
bring up back subjects In the high
school.
The faculty will be composed of
Profs. w. B. Bizzell of Navasota, ".
G. Davis of Bryan and j. A. Kooken
OF Willis. All of these are collegiate
trained teachers and will use every
means possible 10 secure the best re-
suits. In addition to the actual work
done by the regular teachers there
will be "A number of lectures on vari-
Gus subjects, such rs Civics, Physi-
ology, Physics, etc, by prominent
statesmen and educators. These
lectures will be free, and no doubt
they will be an attractive feature /
of the Normal.
No teacher can afford to spend the
summers In idleness, for content
ment means stagnation" in the edu-
cational world. While the Normal
Is primarily for teachers, yet It will
furnish a golden opportunity TO all
young people 10 spend a
part of the summer both pleasantly

Mr.. W. J. Abram to Install Fountain
in Custom House Yard.
In Honor Of the Late Hon. Oscar Tur-
ner, Congressman From
First District.
TO ASK PERMISSION AT ONCE

Mr.. W. J. Abram, of Louisville,
min law Of the late Hon. Oscar Tur-
ner, for many years congressman from
the First district Of Kentucky, was in
the city today en- route home from a
trip to Turner's Lake, Ballard county,
and the old Turner homestead, and
while here was in conference with
Postmaster f. NJ. Fisher relative TO
the establishment of a memorial foun-
tain in the yard of the government
building, at Fifth and Broadway.
Mr.. Abram, knowing the esteem in
which his father-in-law was he'd in
this district, added to the fact that he
was instrumental in securing the gov
eminent building for Paducah, is de-
sirous of installing a handsome drink-
ing fountain on the southeast corner
of the government building yard in
memory Of the dead statesman.
In order to do this it will be neces-
sary to cut OF the corner of the yard,
and leave it open, and the govern
ment's consent will have to be secured
TO do it, but it is believed that no diff
Guilty will be encountered in this re-
speot.
Mr.. Abram, IL he obtains the de-
sired permission, intends to put in a
fountain similar to the one at Fourth
and Broadway, Louisville. 1t is about
ten feet high, is crowned with clus-
ter Of electric lights, and has two or
three mouths from which the water
constantly flows. The cost will DO
s2, 200 or more and 1t will be hand
some ornament to the custom house
yard and that entire locality and
something the entire city can appreci-
ate. Mr.. Abram stated that he would
apply for permission at once.
He and his wife left at noon for
Louisville. He Is a prominent hat
manufacturer, and quite wealthy, and
is well known in Paducah.
