Another Stevens Gift 10 the University
Library.

Fly pretty general consent, as we sup
pose, the brothers Henry and BENJAMIN
Franklin Stevens, Nermonters. of London,
would be ranked as the most eminent
photographers of their time. Henry Stevens
the elder Of the two was born in Barnet,
Vt, and graduated at Yale, and at the
Harvard Law school, During his vacd-
tons he secuted through New England
and New York, housing in Libraries and
garrets for historical documents for his
father, the antiquarian, and for Forces
American Archives, Seized with a desire
to try the happier hunting fields of the
old world, he started in 1915, being then
a. for London, as he tells us, on his own
responsibility with few Yankee notions
in head and a fortune Of nearly forty
sovereigns In pocket" lie became sue
cessful IN securing rare books for Mr.
Lenox, John Carter Brown, AMI other
hungry American collectors. Then he be-
came the agent of the British museum for
the purchase of American books and pro-
cured for its vast library the larger part
of it's remarkable collection of Americana.
He was also the purchasing agent in Eng
land of the Smithsonian Institution, the
Library of Congress and many public and
private American libraries. His knowledge
Of rare books, or nuggets" as he calls
them and of books generally, was phe-
| nomenal; and as an editor. cataloguer,
and writer on photographed subjects he
had gifts which made him famous on both
sides of the ocean. His younger brother
him for time in the book business, and
later was in such business by himself in
London. rivalled Henry in photographed
| lore, and in documentary historical In
formation was perhaps his superior. His
career and recent lamented death are toe
fresh In the minds of our readers to need

or two when his son and literary execu-
tor Mr.. Henry n. Stevens. of London.
prepared an index to the Life of Hariot
and brought out the two volumes in an
edition of but 1SS copies of each. Both are
of high value to historians and the Life
sheds much light on Nirginias first his
torian.
BY what might be called his almost dy-
ing bequest, Mr.. b. r. Stevens added this
we'll nigh unique collection to the treas
ures Of the library of our State univer-
sity, directing also that if the gift should
duplicate any volumes already in the
library, as is the case with several OF
them, the duplicates should be sent to
the free library of Barnet, Mr.. Stevens $
native town. Most of them could never
have been procured in any other way by
either library and they add heavily to the
debt of gratitude which Vermonters owe
TO the memory of Benjamin Franklin Ste
Vcus.

litical primary law should be made as
simple and as plain as is consistent with
efficiency. 1t should guard against the
use of money and intimidation of the
voter. 1t should tend to make it diff
icult for the members or one party to vote
in the caucus of another political organ
ization, for any object whatsoever be it
to secure money or a desire to dictate the
choice of a candidate to a political OPP
ponent.
While there are good points about the
system in use in Minnesota, which is to
all intents and purposes a general cleo
ton within party limits, it seems to
us that some measure retaining the
present caucus system, but pro-
vidng for registration and the use
of check list and some form Of
ballot to ensure freedom OF choice would
be better adapted to this State. The
Minnesota plan is in its experimental
stage whereas registration has been tried
long enough in such States as New York
and Massachusetts to ensure the retention
of that feature.
If registration could be regarded as a
hardship in rural communities, owing to
the long distances to be traversed in
some instances. it might be desirable to
limit the use of registration to cities and
towns having a certain population or
more. During the past few years, how
ever there has been widespread complaint
of the members of one party voting
in the cauceses of the opposite party and
we believe registration should be en-
forced in all towns. Different days are
provided for registration so that there
is no likelihood of the DISTINGUISHING of
voter; and citizen who can not con-
veniently register on n certain day can
attend to that duty on one of the other
| days set aside for this purpose.
But whatever system may commend
itself to a majority of our legislators, re-
publicans should not loose sight of the
fact that their party is pledged to some
| form of caucus legislation and the people
will surely hold the party to account

Referendum Bills Passed.

The local option and high license ref
erendum bills have passed both houses.
AS the Senate passed the bill one half
the license fees go to the State fund for
the construction of permanent highways
while the House bill devotes three
fourths Of the license fees to the fund in
question. The bills as passed by the two
branches of the Legislature differ in a
few other minor particulars, but the
differences will be easily adjusted; and it
goes without saying that the referendum
will receive the approval of Governor Nc
Cullough.

The Referendum.

If there were no legal or constitutional
objection of course the simplest .and best
method of taking the will of the voters
as between the so-called prohibitory and
license-local option systems would be by
direct vote. yes or no on the new license
local option measure But the question
of unconstitutionalty of such a referen-
dun having been raised anew, as 1t was
raised fifty years ago, the trainers of the
local option bill thought best to adopt the
indirect method, under which the original
so-called prohibitory law took effect. The
will of tn. vote s can be ascertaincd by
either method If the indirect referen-
DUN, in the share Of a choice of dates
upon which the law shall take effect, is
adopted the voters can generally be
made to understand that a vote for the
earlier date is vote for the new law and
a vote for the later date a vote against
it: and they will vote accordingly.
We should be entirely willing to have
the issue decided by the direct method,
and do not believe the courts would in
validate the law, if sustained by the ma
jority of the voters, nor that the new
law would be permitted to take effect,
if the majority was against it on the ui-
rect popular vote. But the difference as
regards the practical working Of the two
kinds Of referendum, docs not seem TO us
to be very great. Either can be made to
answer the purpose of obtaining the will
of the people on the main question.

Very Little Signs of Legislature

trains yesterday were loaded with tired
legislators going to their homes and to-
day hardly a member OF either house
or a State officer who resides outside of
Montpelier can be found here Governor
Mccullough and family and General and
Mrs. Bates went yesterday TO Bennington

Considerable misunderstanding exists in
regard to the status of the license bills
that were passed by the Senate and
House on Friday. The bills as they came
from the majority OF the Joint committee
on temperance were identical and the
amendments proposed in the House Fri
day evening by Or. Command some or
which were accepted and some rejected,
were those adopted by the Senate to the
bill INTRODUCED in that body. The other
amendments adopted in the House We're
those proposed to the House bill These
amendments are unimportant and it is
understood that both bodies will agree
upon the matter so that there shall be
no further discussion of this bill in either
house, one Of the bills will naturally be
pigeonholed by the clerk of the House or
secretary of the Senate and the bill on
which the two houses agree as to amend
ments will go TO the governor for his
signature

The Posts article, like so many others
which appear from time to time in the
columns of organs of the liquor traffic or
of journals willing to believe the worst OF
a State whose politics are contrary to
their own, betrays a radical misconcep-
ton of the character and working of the
Vermont liquor law, which, as we have
often had occasion to say. is aimed SOLE
y at traffic which all civilized commune
ties find It necessary to restrict, and Is
simply a more rigdly restrictive measure
than most of the liquor laws of other
States There are prohibitive clauses in
the liquor laws of all the States
But that is a branch of the subject which
we need not take up to-day.

President Roosevelt has caused the an
nouncement to be made that his APP
pointment of William Byrne of Delaware
as United States district attorney was
not made for Addicks or against the
anti-Addicks men. Byrne was originally
appointed to this office by President Nc
Kinley, and as he was the only federal
office holder personally known to the
President. who had great confidence in his
ability and integrity, the appointment
was made. This explanation will not
serve, of course, to satisfy the fnical
critics Of the administration; but the
general public will unquestionably accept
this utterance as evidence, if any were
needed, that President Roosevelt has not
completely revolutionized his IDEAS OF
what is just and right in the administra-
ton of the affairs of the American people

After all the turmoil and strife inciden-

After all the turmoil and strife inciden-
tai to the formulation of a referendum
bill are over, and the Legislature has
carried out the pledge of the Republican
party to submit the question to popular
vote, it will remain for the people to
choose between local option and State pro-
hibition There will then be no possibility
of clubbing, for the issue will be squarely
drawn between license and prohi-
bition. In rendering it possible to
make this popular choice the republicans,
aided, it must be admitted. in all fairness
by the license democrats, will simply
carry out the promises Of the republican
platform as we'll as of the republican
candidates in the State campaign and the
republican stump orators.

Caucus Reform Republican Pledge.

Now that the Legislature has decided
to return to Montpelier after Thanks
giving to complete its work there will
be no excuse for neglectng to carry out
the pledge of the Republican party to
enact a caucus law for the purpose Of
bringing about a reform in our political
primaries Several measures having this
object in view have been introduced in
the Legislature, but we must confess
that the subject seemed to attract COM
paratvely little attention among legis-
Iators during the two weeks Immediately
preceding adjournment for the Thanks
giving recess. This apparent lack of in
terest was unquestionably due in no
small degree TO the manner in which the
struggle over the referendum liquor bill
overshadowed all other matters
We noticed, however, that Legislators
found time to introduce lost of meas
ures in which they or the towns they rep
resented were interested; and we are
constrained to emphasize at this time the
necessity of certain action on the part
of republicans to carry out this party
promise. The faith of the party is just
as thoroughly pledged to the enactment
Of law intended to ensure pure and truly
representative political primaries as to the
passage of measure to enable tho peo-
Pile to express their preference between
prohibition and local option and license;
and there is every reason why this pledge
should be observed
without speaking in detail with refer
ence to any one of the caucus bills now
before our legislators, we desire to say
n few words in relation to the character
\of the act, which in our estimation should
