A Proclamation.

Old Home Day will be celebrated
throughout Vermont in all the cities
and towns, whose inhabitants find it in
their hearts to do so, at such time as
each may select during the week be-
ginning with the tenth and ending on
the sixteenth day of August next.
During the week named, which is
fixed by law, comes the anniversary of
the Battle of Bennington, where was
gained for the rising American Republic
the first decisive victory in the war of
the Revolution.
Bennington Battle Day will always
revive recolections of the heroic age ON
the New Hampshire Grants, and call to
mind the patriotic men who laid the
foundation of the government under
which we live.
Vermont, ever true to the early ex-
amples, has glorious history, the pride
and inspiration of all her sons and
daughters both at home and abroad.
The observance of Old Home Week
in our State last year was everywhere
marked with gratifying results and gave
promise of the permanence of the festi
val in the years to come.
Therefore, the old State that we love
bearing the beautiful name which its
) mountains has given, bids all her alb
sent children return and renew the
associations and recall the memories Of
other days amidst the scenes of then
, childhood.
Be assured that all who come bacl
: will receive genuine Green Mountain
hospitality.
An old home, under the shadow of oul
mountains, near which the departed
generations OF your family sleep, il
worthy of annual pilgrimage.
For how true it is that in all our af
5 ter life we find no flowers quite SO bril-
t liant or fragrant as the old roses tina
bloomed by the home of our youth
, and we hear again no music quite Sc
sweet as the ripping brook and tht
+ song of bird which was heard in tn,
summer Of long ago, when to us tn,
world was new and bordered by the hori
, zon of home.
= Given al the Executive Chamber, il
Ludlow, this twenty fifth day of june in
S the year of our Lord, one thousand min,
hundred and two, and of the Indepen
dence of the United States, the one hun
dred and twenty.sixth.

Bishop Hall on Political in

annual address delivered by Bishop Hall
at the Diocesan Convention i'll Bellows
Falls:
"There is perhaps no sin against
which the New Testament Scriptures,
giving our Lords oral teaching and the
writings of His apostles, contain more
numerous or stronger warnings than
against "Covetousness, which is idola-
try" "The love of money is root of
all kinds of evil certainly not less in
the Western world of the twentieth cen
fury than in the Eastern of the first.
Among the many "kinds of evil" which
spring from this root, along with parsi-
mony in giving, l feel constrained to
call attention to two as growing dangers.
Q) "There has been, | fear, in the last
few years a distinct lowering of Yer
mont's former high standards of politi-
cal integrity. Recent elections in the
State, it is commonly reported, have been
influenced in no small degree by money
Gain rather than principle has been in
many cases controlling motive. (ii)
Closely connected with this is laxty
of conscience as to obligations to the
State. Many who sternly censure bank
robberies or business dishonesty, think
lightly of defrauding the State by avoid
ing the payment of a full share of q
citizens contribution to the expenses
of the community. The laws con
corning taxation, like any other statutes
may be regarded as unreasonable
BY all legitimate means let us seek tC
repeal or revise that which we dis
approve. But while law remains un
altered, it is the part Of every loyal citi
zen, and of every Christian man, hon
estly to observe it's enactments. Neec
add that this obligation is enhance,
when an evasion involves perjury? lie
it be plainly understood that in tax
lodging it is no abstraction which i
cheated; the State or community is on
neighbor collectively, and our individual
neighbors are wronged by an undu
share of the public burden being thrown
on them by any who refuse to bea
their proper proportion. Let it also b.
plainly understood that the Christian
Church stands, or is instituted to stand
for witness to integrity in morals
civic and commercial as we'll as persona
and domestic--as much as for witnes
to belief in the unseen and the futur
world"

The Essex county Republican conven-
ton was harmonious enough almost to
be suspicious in these days when politi-
cal bear dances are the normal order of
things. Were it not the fact that the
Essex county nominees are known to be
truly representative of the best element
of the party, one might feel justified in
the opinion that the county stood i'll
need of some of the medicine that the
party-at-large has been taking in such
liberal doses. 1t has been a good thing
for the Republican party of Vermont
that it was stirred to its depths and we
may look to reap substantial progress
from it all in due course. There has
been too much so-called harmony III
times past, harmony that was but an.
other name for condition very strongly
suggestive of stagnation. The Messen.
ger has long expressed the opinion that
the best thing that could happen to the
Republican party of Vermont and by
the same token to the state of Vermont
is to be obliged to put up a stiff fight
for the supremacy of its principles and
their advocates. As running water
purifes itself, 50 a party that is kept
eyerlaotingIy on the qui vive by an alert
enemy must put its best ideas and its
best men forward if it hopes to gain ant

Instead of better The verdict of the

Here is What We Said Not
Long Ago About the L., j.
@ L. $3.50 Glove Spe-
cial-"The Sublime"

A year or SO ago a woman who
wanted a fine French Kid Glove
knew that she couldn't get pair
for less than LIS, but that is all
changed now-and thereby hangs
the tale:
About year ago we went to the
acknowledged best glove maker in the
world-"Perrins" said in sub
stance:
1--WE want the very best glove that
you can make for us to sell at 1.50.
1t must be a glove equal to your LIS
glove. 1t must have all those endur-
ing qualities which have made your
gloves famous. Make us such a glove
and we will buy many times more
than we have ever bought before. In
consideration of which you must make
us a special price-that is, help us
to be able to sell the glove at 1.50 re-
tail. We will take less profit than
usual ourselves, in order to do it, and
If you meet us half way we are sure
we can build up in the South big
trade in buying gloves for you"
The result of this eliminates in
"the sublime LEO L. ]. & L. Special"
glove. 1t is a glove that equals a LIS
glove. We sell it to you at less than
the usual profit in order that you may
buy 1t at 1.50. 1t is the best glove we
know of at anything like the price.
It's a 2-clasp, first quality French kid,
and has long, medium and short ing
ers. All the desirable shades are rep
resented.

The L. j. @ L.
$50 Special Versus
Other Makes"

The L. j. & L. $50 Special" is
the best shoe at anything near like
the price. There are other shoes
other advertised makes - and
when we were looking around for
a special shoe, we considered all
these different makes. There were
any number of shoes at 300 and
4.5O-all good in their way, but
they lacked qualities which we
wanted the IL. J. & L. $50 Spec
ial' to possess, tho the Il. J. & L.
$50 Special" did not afford the
same liberal profits as other makes.
Take for instance the Queen Quail
ity Shoe, the Queen Quality is a
good shoe. Yet, tho L., j. & L. Spe-
cial costs but little more-and the
difference
If you want the Queen Quality,
however, we have it in four styles
the Patent Vici Kid, and in Plain
Wei, at 2.45.
The regular price is 300.
