EDITOR CALIFORNIAN
The report of the legislative committee
to investigate the management OF our
state institutions rightly calls the atten-
ton of the public to them. Pardon me
if l very briefly express some of nv own
views. For so years I have been voter
in Vermont, and, to a greater or less de-
gree, identified with its interests. / have
had the ecquaint auce of many of its
citizens whose frien 4ship l have greatly
priced. 1t has been a great pleasure tor
me to believe that no state had more
honorable. efficient, business men-purer
politicians, or more loyal citizens than
our own. II a list of the men who have
been directors of our penal institutions
for the last IS years should be prepared,
it would be found to be composed of
men who had state regulations as hon.
est, able, efficient, business men. cam
not believe that one of them ever had
thought of doing anything but what
they sincerely believed was for the best
interest of the state. IF any OF them de-
serve censure, they all do. for each
succeeding board has tried to carry out
and enlarge upon the work of its prede-
cessors. It is position more full of
anxiety and perplexity than many real
ize. Mistakes may have been made, but
if SO they have been errors of judgme ut
and not Intentional crime. The House
of Correction at it's start was expected to
care for 100 criminals. The demands up
on it have increased until it now has to
care for $50. Its interior management
and its outward SURF findings have been
credit to the state. The employment
of it's inmates has been a constant and
great problem for its directors, which
has been worked out to the best of their
ability. The results have been that the
expense to the state has been compar-
at1veiy small.
When [ first knew the State Prison
men were trying to make shoes at their
little benches. Now they work at the
most modern machines, and in connec-
ton with the outside shop turn out pro-
duct amounting to a very large sum
each year. The prison for several years
has been self supporting. All OF this in
crease in numbers and enlargement of
business has necessitated a constant and
ever-1ncreaslng amount of care and work.
The superintendent of each institution
has given to 1t many years OF the best
part of his life, at salary much smaller
than that paid by other states. I think
they have had the approval and won the
esteem of every director under whom
they have served. | am sure that the
citizens of Vermont upon candid consider
alton will decide whether the manage
ment of these institutions have been
faithful, and are fairly successful, by the
accomplished results of the last Is years,
and not by any trivial mistakes that
| may have been made by the way. T.

President Roosevelt will make many
friends in his appointments OF able DEM
ocrats to public Office. The veteran SEN
ator Cockrell of Missouri, who has long
been a leader in the Senate, will be
appointed member of the canal COM
mission and James Jeffrey Roche, the
brilliant editor of the Boston Pilot, has
been appointed consul at Genoa. A good
story is going around about recent
conversation between Mr.. Roche and
the President. The latter mentioned the
fact that he was considering giving the
talented Irishman foreign post and
said he had decided to offer him the
position of minister to the court of St.
James. God save the King was Roche's
only comment.

The Rutland Herald was no years old
last Thursday and that day published
a valuable historical supplement with

has been the good fortune of few Yer

we have no means of comparison-that
the Herald is a better newspaper today
than ever before. AS to it's future the

The municipal suffrage bill, which

dissenting votes, deserved better fate
in the house where it was killed or
Wednesday. Vermont is in the van in
such contemplated legislation in COM

The Rutland Herald copies the poem
on trading stamps which recently appear
ed in the CALIFORNIAN for the benefit of
the Rutland merchants who are trying to
rid themselves of the incubus. The most
most drastic measures have been taken
in Bennington where all the merchants
have signed an agreement not to handle
trading stamps for five years with a for
felt of 5000 for any violator of the agree
ment. Bennington had a local stamp

The bill reported by Senator Slack and
his associates on the joint committee on
temperance, amending the license law.
was passed by the senate on Thursday
without debate and without opposition.
It had a little rougher sailing in the
house the next day, where attacks were
made on the proposed appointment of
license commissioners by the assistant
judges of county court, instead OF by the
selectmen; on the clause relating to the
sale OF cider; on the allowing of search
and seizure without warrant; and on the
provision for second-class license. One
or two other features OF the bill were
mildly objected to. The discussion
waxed exceedingly warm at times. Mr..
O'Sulllvan of St. Adams City, for the
committee, defended the bill as the result
OF protracted. painstaking and conscien-
cious effort on the part OF the committee,
who had left in the law the very things
which liquor sellers had urged them to
take out OF it. He drew from experiences
in St. Adams to prove the peril OF allow

Quite a bunch of bills have been re-
ported adversely in either branch and
laid away, though not always without
word of protest from somebody who
believed merit was going unrecognized.
We mention few: The members from
Bennington county furnished the house a
little entertainment in a contest over a
bill to give that county one shire town
instead of two and decide the location of
the court house and jail. These most
interested signalIy failed to agree, so the
bill was killed.
The senate refused to give the select
men control over bridges and culverts of
six feet span or more.

AL Legislative purposes. Besides, ones
sense of fairness is shocked when q
truly representative system is con-
founded with and judged by the clum-
sy makeshifts, the non-representative
and misrepresentation methods, by
which legislators are now elected.
Enactment of the initiative and ref
erendum will be speedy and certain
means of bringing about the enactment

as the latter becomes well and widely

also warm friends of the kindred re-
form, proportional representation.
