imposing colonnade, have most fifty and
happily been made the central and
and browning feature of the architectural
display of the fair. The Mississippi has
never, since the west bank of it was
ACQUIRED, remained or become a line of
social or political division. In the only
division that has threatened the integrity

Father of Waters When, after the
capture of New Orleans and the clearing
of the lower Mississippi, Lincoln was
able to report, in message to Congress,
that "the great river goes unvexed to the
sea-" it became manifest destiny that,
from source to mouth, as well as on both
its shores, the valley of the Mississippi
and its tributaries should remain in the
control of a single nationality. The
territory acquired by Jefferson now
contains an inhabitant for every dollar
of the fifteen millions which it cost, and
there is not one of the Commonwealth
into which it is subdivided, not the
poorest and feeblest of them all, which
would not be more than ample security
for the whole amount of the purchase
money.

JUDGE Stafford Promote d

L The appointment of Judge Wendell P.
Stafford of the Vermont Supreme Court
as Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States for the District of Columbia
is distinct loss to the State although a
very high compliment to him. 1t is one
of the best appointments President
Roosevelt has yet made. No man in
Vermont and few in New England are
better qualified by natural ability, edu-
cation and training to fill this responsible
position, and Judge Stafford's host of
friends both within and without the
State heartily congratulate him on this
unsought honor.
Wendell P. Stafford was born in Barre,
May 1, 1861. He was graduated from
st. Johnsbury Academy in the class of
1880 and three years later took the
law department of Boston University.
In 1882 he was admitted to the Vermont
bar and located at st. Johnsbury. He
represented that town in the Legislature
of 1892 and in November, 1896 was ap-
pointed reporter by the supreme court
He was prominent candidate for the
Republican congressional nomination in
the second district in 1900 and received
strong support. July 2, 1900, he was
appointed by Gov. E. G. Smith judge OF
the supreme court to succeed Judge
L. II. Thompson, deceased, and he was
elected to that position by the Legislature
of 1900 and reelected in 1902. In 1896
he was elected president of the Vermont
Bar Association.

That Famous Letter.

There has been so much discussion by
the press and politicians regarding the
letter of Hon. Joseph A. DeBoer to
Editor Ropes of the Montpelier Daily
journal, in answer to a letter from Mr.,
Ropes asking Mr.. DeBoer if he would
permit his friends to use his name as a
candidate for the nomination, before the
Republican State convention, that we
print the letter in full. Our readers can
then see and judge for themselves as to
whether he would accept the nomination
if it were rendered him.
Dear Mr.. RopeS.-Permit me to ac-
knowledge your favor of the 9Th inst.
asking if l will permit the use of my
name as candidate for the Republican
nomination to the governorship of this
State.
To this my answer is "No" The
reason for this answer is briefly this:
| depend for my income upon my work.
If l do not do that work all of the time,
it is my opinion that / should not draw
the pay. l need this pay, however, to
discharge the obligations which have
assumed and for which | am respon-
SlDle. IL SeeIlS 10 me, therefore, ullNlse
and unnecessary to drop this work,
which gives me pleasure, for the sake of
seeking opportunity in politics.
AT this time, may say frankly that l
should like to be governor for the sake
of the service and, if that service were
before me in the form of an actual
choice, l would gladly and proudly
respond to the call.
l regard myself barred however, by
circumstances, not meaning to suggest
that men whose work does not involve
the responsibilities of fixed trusteeship
may not, with perfect honor and pro-
priety, both seek and hold public office
of any kind.
Furthermore, | am wholly conscious
that our Vermont woods, on both sides
of the mountain; are full of better men,
and that neither party nor the State can
suffer the slightest harm from my fixed
purpose to keep at work in my own
shop.
Do me the favor, please, through your
paper. of conveying my sincerest thanks
to all those who have honored me with
their kind opinions and accept for your
self assurances of my continued regard.
Yours very truly,
JOS. A. DEBOER.

After Post Office Thieves.

d. j. Rapp, of White River Junction,
a postal inspector, was in Rutland April
26 comforting with the local authorities
in regard to the two young men, Nicholas
Murphy and Raymond Murphy, who
were arrested at Healdville ON suspicion
of being implicated in several robberies
at East Wallingford and Healdville.
Friday night some one broke into the
depot at East Wallingford and stole a
box of cigars, an express package and a
few other less valuable articles. Satur-
day night the Healdville post-office was
broken into and something over so
pennies taken from the till. The Murphy
boys are suspected of this robbery also,
and it is probable that the government
will prosecute them after the local
authorities have done with them.

McClure's Magazine for May makes
the most casual reader stop and think.
AS usual it covers wide range of
human interest but the impressive effect
of the number is produced by another
appalling picture of the results of our
industrial warfare. 1t is found in Ray
Stannard Bakers article on the great
labor conflict in Colorado between the
striking miners and mine operators
under the fitting title, "The Reign of
Lawlessness." 1t is a story of industrial,
economic, social and civil crime of alb
sorbing interest and deep significance.
Here Mr.. Baker finds the fruits of law
breaking by both capital and labor in
riot and bloodshed, destruction of life
and property, anarchy and military
despotism. The people of Colorado have
broken the law and are being punished
for it, How, Mr.. Baker wildly describes.

The Swanton Courier says: "If the
next governor of the State should die in
office and Charles H. Stearns, of John
son, were lieutenant governor, the inter.

licans propose to nominate and elect a
good, strong, vigorous, aggressive young
Republican governor, one who will dc
something for the new and greater Yer
mont, and not die doing it, either.

The Worlds Fair.

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
st. Louis opened Saturday, April 80,
apparently fulfilling the promise of its
projectors of being more complete at
the opening than any previous worlds
fair All the auspices seem to be favor
able. No event in our history, excepting
only the first, the declaration that made
the Nation, is more worthy of centennial
celebration than the Louisiana Purchase,
says the New York Times. The centen-
nary of the Declaration was duly cele-
brated twenty-eight years ago That
appears now to have been the day of
small things. AS compared with the
Columbian, with the present celebration
or even with the Pan-American, what is
still know as "the" Centennial was small.
Nobody can have escaped being informed
that the present is the greatest that ever
was seen on earth. By acreage the
claim is fully justified. And there is
good hope that it will be justified in
more important respects.
The fair appeals to a particular and
local patriotism in a region in which
patriotism is particularly rife. The
far seeing wisdom of Jefferson has been
abundantly justified.
There are the fourteen Common
wealths, States and Territories, that have

Why kick a woman when she is down.
The ST. Johnsbury Republican, speaking
of the Ketcham divorce case says: "One
would conclude that Mrs. jay Was
Kaught,' also;" and the Ludlow Tribune
says: "She was, indeed, 1t is only a
pity she wasn't caught sooner" Re-
member this: No woman would ever fall
if it were not for some brute of man
Men may not always be to blame, but
as the stronger sex, they should protect
a woman, even against herself. Chiv-
airy and true manhood demand this OF
