majority of both house and senate
have clear vision in this matter, and
that they propose to redeem their
party's pledge and let the manhood
of the state settle this great question
at the polls. The decision of the
majority will be good enough law for
the best and the humblest, at least
until new conditions arise demanding
new referendum.
hope the readers of the MONITOR
will take very watchful interest in
developments from now on, in con-
nection with liquor legislation in the
state; and I would particularly COM
mend to every voter to read and re-
read the excellent editorial, "The

Found Dead in Bed.

Mrs. Robert Knapp, of Stowe, was
fonnd dead in bed Tuesday morning
at the home of her father, Ira Mum.
She leaves husband and two child
ren, one an infant of six months.
Mrs. Knapp appeared to be in her
usual health when she retired Monday
night and was not heard by members
of the family during the night. In
the morning she was lying with her
clothes on across the foot of the bed
and apparently had taken fatal dose
of morphine.
Commits Suicide.
Mrs. Ray Stokes of Starksboro
committed suicide at her home on
Brownell hill Monday afternoon. In
sanity is supposed to be the reason
for her dreadful act. Mrs. Stokes
during the morning administered a.
dose of laudanum to her three little
children and then took some herself.
Her husband discovered what she had
done and Immediately summoned a
physician. Remedies were applied
so that all were soon out of danger
Mrs. Stokes made another attempt to
take her life in the afternoon by cut
ting her throat with a knife. This
time she was successful and died after
some time.
Proctor Remembers His Employees.
The many thousand employees of
the Vermont Marble Co. were made
happy Thanksgiving day by the COM
pany's presenting each married man
in its employ turkey, two quarts of
sweet potatoes, and quart of cram
berries as Thanksgiving present.
All men who support parents or rela-
tives were also included, and as the
men who come under these heads are
numbered in the thousands, the com
pany's gifts were decidedly ex-
pensive. The presents were made as
a recognition of the faithful work
which has been done by most of the
the men during the past year and no
discrimination was made against the
cutters who were out on strike during
the early part of last summer, al
though the latter expected to be left
out.

THE REFERENDUM.

Fr. Editor:
There is considerable misapprehen-
on among the good people OF this To-
hlity, concerning the particular form
referendum attached to the stem
erance measure" reported by the
int committee on temperance, OF the
resent house and senate, and con-
Prning the effect Of that referendum.
1t is the proper form of referen-
hm, for the reason that it is the only
be with which our state has had ex-
Prience, and the one our courts have
lssed upon and have found sound
id safe. The argument is made
ainst 1t, however, that the next
nate might refuse to repeal the
opposed law, and that it would,
erefore, go into effect December
pa, whether the majority of the
pular vote be for it or against it.
This argument can stand only in the
hdow of the misapprehension en-
died in it's very statement: Take it
% the light. What Is the senate?
nly that branch of our general
Bembly which, of the two, much
pre- nearly represents the majority
te of the state, for it is the one
inch presentation in which is
Fed on population. If, therefore, the
Pnt shows a majority vote of the
Pple against the proposed measure,
t same majority can elect senate
repeal the measure. The argument
I'VE referred to, then, can find no
q foundation short of the desire
t the people be denied their right
settle this important question at
polls, and is, undoubtedly, the
card of those who would thwart
peoples will. l grant that many
Q taken up that argument in all
esty, but through misapprehen-
,. / am pleased to note that the
