Cheap Notoriety.

Rev. B. f. Taylor spoke in the park
Sunday afternoon, as advertised, on the
subject, GLOW Far is Brandon Saloon
from He'll. F." The subject or text created
the impression that something sensa-
tional would be heard and mixed con
pregation of some $50 people gathered
to hear him. They were not disappoint-
ed. Mr. Taylor was sensational and
in being sensational he emptied him
self of lot of foolishness and foulness
which had much better be got rid of in
some back alley than in our park. The
only ground upon which a man could be
excused for giving public utterance to
such harangue is that he is insane. 1T
seems impossible that a sane man, and
especially one who claims the prefix OF
Rev. before his name, should rave and
rant as this man did He denounced
everybody and everything and all those
unfortunate mistakes of nature which
have occurred within the last 1900 years
and which have caused so much of sor,
row and suffering to the human family
were laid to the door of Him whom we
reverence as an allmerciful God. If
the God of this universe ruled with as
little wisdom as he tried to show, He
would have paralyzed his tongue before
he left the wagon. He pummeled the
saloon keepers roundly, but he also
dubbed the Universalists, slapped the
Methodists, and persisted in dragging
our sisters through his filthy story.
Why he should have introduced his
strange woman" at all is uneXplain-
able in no manner except that he is
controlled by morbid desire to be OBJ
scene, and to indulge this desire he had
to drag in the woman. She helped in
no argument and was in no way needed
and the speaker really had to go out of
his way to introduce her. 1t is a com (
plment to the people of Brandon that
they listened to the rawlings of this man
in utter silence, he being the only per
son that uttered disrespectful word. /
He finally located hell as at the center
of gravity. and the distance as IS miles
from a Brandon saloon. St. Adams

Official denial is made of the state
ments recently published concerning
Secretary Shaw's alleged approval of a
five year limit for service in the treas
ury department. and his assertion that
after that period of time an employee
lost his usefulness. 1t seems that
many people have taken those pub
lished statements seriously and have
besieged the department with inqui-
ries 1t is therefore announced from
the department that Secretary Shaw
never expressed any such views, that
he is heartily in accord with every as
pect of civil service reform and that
he signed regulations Monday placing
laborers and other unskilled positions
under the control of the civil service
thereby removing the last
bit of patronage at his disposal.

Democratic State Convention

As will be seen from our news report
on the first page the Democrats of Yer
mont met in convention at Burlington
Yesterday and nominated the following
straight ticket
For Governor, Felix W. McGettrick
of ST. Adams.
For Lieutenant Governor, Elisha May
of ST. Johnsbury.
For Secretary of State, Joseph NJ.
Burke of Middlebury.
For State Treasurer, John NJ. Pol
lard of Windsor.
For State Auditor, James E. Byrne
of Bellows Falls.
The result was as predicted by the Re
former, and as it should be. Mr. Glenn
ent and his followers made gallant
fight to capture the party and secured the
votes of 80 delegates who wished him
to head the ticket, but the sentiment of
the convention was so overwhelmingly
against any movement of this kind that
it was abandoned and the nomination
of the straight ticket made unanimous.
All is now peace and harmony with
in the party lines and the full Demo
cratic vote of the state may be expect
ed to be cast for the ticket at the cleo
tion in September.
Those Democrats who favor high IL
cense and local option will have an OPP
portunity to help the cause by work
ing for representatives and later by
vote for the local option law which will
be passed by the next legislature.
On another page of today's Reformer
we print full report of the conven-
tion and sketch of MIR. McGettrick.
Let every Democrat in Vermont stand
by his party and do his full duty at
the September election.

FELIX w. McGETTRICK.
Sketch of the Gubernatorial Candidate Who
Has Received the Nomination of the Demo-
cratic Convention-An Eloquent Speaker
and Prominent Attorney.

Felix William McGettrick was born
in Fairfield November 20, 1917, son of
Michael and Mary (O'Connell) Nc
Gettrick The educational facilities
which Mr.. McGettrick enjoyed before
the war We're decidedly limited as he
lived over three miles from the nearest
district schoolhouse, but after he re-
turned from the battlefields of Virginia
he took a partial course of study at the
New Hampton institute at Fairfax and
then became private pupil of c. j.
Alger of Burlington in whose office he
began the study of law.
Mr. McGettrick enlisted when a lad
of 10 in Company f, I'd regiment, Unit
ed States sbarpshooters. He was pres
ent at the battles of the Wilderness and
Spottsylvania and in the latter engage
ment was seriously wounded. He re-
ceived his honorable discharge at the
close of the war. In 1870 he combined
his legal studies with the profession of
teaching, but two years later began
the regular practice of law in St Al
bans.
Mr.. McGettrick has given the sturdy
minority party of Vermont his untir-
ing services for over p years and also
has been connected with national pol
titles. He began campaign speaking
for Tilden in 1916 and has spoken in
every presidential campaign since that
time as well as in every Vermont state
He has. done this sort of
political work in II states and has
proven popular wherever he has spok-
en-.
He was delegate to the Democratic
national convention that nominated
Hancock in 1880. and was a member of
the platform committee of that conven-
ton. He was also delegate at large
to the Democratic national convention /,
of 1900, and a member of the general [
and subcommittee on platform in that /
convention, and had an i'm
portant part in drafting the platform

Tributes from China.

Minister WI Ting Fang who has beer
called to high honors in his own coun
try because, a a countryman expresses
it, he is too great for this place, pays
America and Americans tributes il
leaving which ought to ensure him long
and pleasant remembrance. He has
studied us infinitely and interrogative-
ly during his five years residence here,
= and he says we are imaginative and
progressive, full of new thought and
impulse: that our country is remark
able one and that if he can take even a
small part of its atmosphere back to
He declares that our newspapers are
wonderful, bringing light into every
household, but not properly appreciat-
ed, and that one can learn something
every hour in America. He will return
to Picking in about a month"; to occupy
post in the new foreign ministry and
to help compile a new code of laws for
China. He thinks his country needs
education, railways and newspapers /;
but most of all firm financial basis
on which to rest: and he plans to write
two books on America-one for US and
one for China. WI Ting Fang studied
law in London and was called to the
English Bar; constructed China's first
railroad !; conducted peace negotiations
after the Carbohydrates war in 1895
and was the only means of communca-
ton with the outside world for the i'm
prisoned foreign legations during the
terrible siege of Peking. Liang Chen
Tung, the newly appointed diplomat,
is a Yale graduate, and is said to be
able, dignified and honest. He is now
in Paris with the Chinese mission sent
to King Edwards coronation. but he
will return to Canton and bring with
him to the United States his two sons
to be educated here as he was. He ex-
presses great pleasure at his appoint
ment to Washington and says that the
Chinese are most grateful to the Unit |
ed States for her fair dealing during
the late difficulties, as we'll as for
her recent action on the Tien- tsin ques- /
ton, and that she will certainly be as
well treated as any power in the com
mercial and industrial development of
China.
Liang Chen Tung was specially chos-
en- for this position, according to a
leading member of the mission, on ac-
count of his American education and
and is the first of the stu
dents sent TO America in the seventies
to receive recognition befitting his ac-
complishments. Which shows that the
slow and conservative Celestials are at
last waking up to the advantages of {
np-to-date American education and :
methods.

The Goyernor's Salary.

1t has always seemed to The Messen-
ger that Vermont would have some diff
ficulty in an endeavor to Justify at the
bar of public opinion the absurdly low
salaries paid some of its state officials
Take, for instance, the salary of the
governor, $1,000 a year Here is what
writer in The Boston Herald, who
gives the salary scale in all the states,
says about it,
''The poorest paid of all the 40 is
the governor of Vermont, whose ser
vices are accounted to be worth only
81, 800 year, or scarcely more than a
clerkship in city counting room. lie
has no official residence at the states
expense, nor an allowance in lieu
thereof. 1t probobly costs him a great
deal more to get nominated and elect
ed, Notwithstanding that the Green
Mountain state is irredeemably Repub-
lican, than the total amount of the sal
airy for Il series of TERMS so that honor
and power must be the most substan-
tial of his emoluments. Nevada, with
population not greater than that of a
large ward in a large city, certainly
not greater than that of the two wards
comprising East Boston-could easily
give Vermont a lesson in generosity,
for the tiny western state gives her
governor 81, GOO a year The only 9th
er difference is that she requires her
governor to live at his capital while
Vermont does not.
The probabilities are that the legis-
lator who proposed to raise the govern
or's salary to fair price commensurate
with his work and the dignity and con
sequence of the office would be laughed
to scorn by his associates. Certainly
he would have hard time to convince
them that the pay should be raised
when millionaires now fight to get the
honor. st. Adams Messenger

The Burlington Free Press startles

The Burlington Free Press startles
people by this announcement:
The representative of New York
liquor association is quoted as promis-
ing 100000 for the local option cam
paign in Vermont, not to mention the
pledges secured by well-known Yer
mont Democrat in Boston, and the
boasts of Rutland people as to what
will be expended. All this makes a
very good start for campaign alleged
to be against the use of money in pol
itics.
If this be true it will add life to
the campaign. Will the Free Press
please find out how this money is to
be spent?

1t is authoritatively stated that Mr..
Clement will speak in Brattleboro next
Thursday evening He will probably
use his campaign issues for a text, and
we have no doubt will deliver an able
and forcible address. We predict and
bespeak for him a full house. Of
course he does not expect to interest
Brattleboro in his issues to any great
extent, and the Reformer predicts now
that he will not poll 200 votes here on
election day.

Importance of assuring the voters of

One of Vermont's leading lawyers is
quoted as expressing doubt whether
a pure referendum would be legal -
just what this lea ding" lawyer means
by 'pure referendum and why it
should be illegal, is not explained.
Certainly it is question which will

that the leading lawyers opinion is

to Clements campaign.

The Boston and Springfield papers
contain long editorials showing a split
in the Republican ranks of Vermont.
There may be a slight temporary rup-
ture, but none need fear any serious re-
suits from it. The Republicans of Yer

long to break loose so easily. 1t would
take several live campaigns to make an
break.
