The Call for DeBoer.
{ Barre Times.)

If any one thing was made clearer
than another at the gathering of Re.
publicans at Burlington the other
day, it was that the voters OF the
state are not satisfied with theavow-
ed candidates seeking the governor
ship nomination. The state has in
the past eight years had 80 much OF
the man seeking the office, general
reVulsion of feeling is the result, and
now there is a disposition on the part
of the voters to choose their own can
didates. Messrs. Bell, Stanton and
Clement may all be good men for the
office, but they are seeking and ask
ing it. The Times believes the occa-
sion has arrived when the voters de-
sire to seek the man, and that there
is one such, on whom all can unite as
being a thoroughly fit candidate for
the ofice-JOseph A. DeBoer of Mont
pelier.
Mr.. DeBoer has said that he is not
a candidate, said it, and has acted in
q way that convinced all that he
meant it. But he has not said he
would refuse the governorship. Mr..
D9Boer is a man exceptionally well
qualified to fill the governors chair
He is a man of the traditional YER
mont integrity and breadth Of char
acter; he is progressive and agrees
sive, and has the confidence of the
voters of the state. who believe in
him because of what he is and what
he has done.
If elected governor he would be
more than an executive figurehead.
He is man of action, man who be-
lieves Vermont is as good a state to
live in as to leave, and which has a
future as we'll as IA past. What he
stands for in affairs of the state may
be summed up in these words of his
own, written by him the latter part
of las0 year: "What the thinking
men Of the state want are better
roads, q right use of public charters,
intelligent SUPERVISION of corpora
tions, a wisely spent tax, the best at
tainable public schools, the increase
and protection of our forests, better
attention to the local government of
our towns, and more attention in
their proper time to affairs of state
than to less relevant issues"

An Important Decision.

From recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court it looks as
though states which have repudiated
debts might becompelled to pay these
obligations. The case was this: The
holder of certain North Carolina
bonds which that state had refused
to pay in full, off9ring a mere frac-
ton of their face valne in settlement,
donated a number of them to the
State of Dakota. 1t was suggested
that if the latter state succeeded in
collecting the bonds, the proceeds
might be devoted to some charitable
or educational institution. This
transaction gave the state of Dakota
the right to sue, and suit was brought
in the United State Court. The tri-
bunal of last resort finds in favor OF
South Dakota and North Carolina
must pay.
The court divided on the question,
five for compelling payment, four
against. The dissenting Justices laid
stress on the fact that the bonds in
question were not originally the
property of the state of outh DakO-
ia, but were given to it by private
individual. in whose hands they were
uncoIectable. The state of North
Carolina chartered a railway and
took 100000 of it's 100000
capital, issuing it's bonds in payment
therefor and pledging the stock as
security. In 1897 these bonds ma
tured, but the holders were refused
anything like the face value of their
claims. One of these, Simon Schafer,
OF New York, offered en- of the repudi-
ated bonds to South Dakota for the
benefit Of it's university or other be-
nevOlent institutions. The gift was
accepted, and suit brought in the
name of the state against North Car.
DINA. After q stubborn contest and
three hearings the Supreme Court de-
creed that North Carolina must pay
or have it's property sold at public
auction.
Discussing the possibilities that
may grow out of this decision the
Philadelphia Record says: There are
over $500, 100000 of repudiated
state bonds in existence, and, with
arrears of interest added, the total
indebtedness on this account exceeds
$70O,O00,OO0. The holders cannot
enforce payment thereof to them
selves, but they can donate the bonds
to states which could compel a settle
ment. The possibility of such re.
course being taken may, however, not
be without influence upon delinquent
communities; they may find it to
their advantage to make some rea-
sonable arrangement with the claim
ants rather than to be Obliged to pay
the face value of their debentures in
case the holders should be collective
ly Sc z9d with the charitable impulse
to donate the bonds to needy and
worthy.

But at Midland May 10 the "Mets'
We're just rounding to and had not hit
their stride by long odds.
Last Saturday Midland found out that
the Frostburg aggregation could play
some ball and that the name, "ColtS,
is a misnOmer altogether.
Flanagan was on the slab for the
"Mets,' and the Midland battcrS early
in the game found out he was there with
curves, speed, drops, Judgment, good
nature and everything else pitcher
ought to have. Best of all, i'll critical
moments he was cool as the tabled
cucumber.
Jackson gave him excellent support
behind the bat in fact, his catching was
most pleasing feature of the game.
Tom Stakem played third and Capt.
Olin Gunnett went to short-stop, where
at he "fell down" several times. His
batting, though, was all to the good.
Twice he hit the ball for two bases, and
both hits produced runs.
George Gunnett and Taylor played the
in-tield positions in good form and gave
a mighty pretty exhibition, while
Haines, John and Will Spates put up
an al game in the out-iield.
Will Spates led at the bat, having two
singles and two two-baggers to his credit,
and his catch in deep right was fine
one.
For the visitors Entler did the artil-
lery and showed very poor form He
can and will do lots better before the
season is much older.
Silent Tom Jackson did the receiv-
ing, and did it very well.
The new third baseman, Rebold, is a
pretty fast player and put up a very
loCSIN', l1 10 q So'N'
batter.
"Shiner" Robinson and his golden
locks We're very much i'll evidence at
short-stop, and he is PLAYING the game
of his life, both i'll the field and at the
bat.
Burns, at second base, is just as rapid
as ever. If he doesn't get everything
that comes his way it is not because he
doesn't try He is something of Il hitter
too.
Cunningham, as predicted sometime
ago, was back in the game holding down
the initial sack, and for four innings did
excellent work. Unfortunately he was
injured by a thrown ball i'll the fifth
and retired in favor of Harris, who is
Meversdale's former catcher-a good all
round player and tirst-class gentle
man. Midland has made no mistake i'll
securing him.
In the out-feld Williams, Malone and
Hilleary did nice work. Malone's run
ming catch was pleasing feature; be-
sides he did some very creditable batting
for his side.
Mr.. Charles, now captain of Greene S
"Hlghlanders, Westernport, umpired in
very satisfactory manner.

Tuesday was IA gala day ut the New

the season.
The crowd was the largest ever seen
at a ball game in Froslburg, and the
very best order prevailed, thanks to the
good judgment of the baseball manage
ment. Every courtesy was extended
the visitors.
A fOur-horse conveyance met them at
the depot and after the game the
same team took them to the train.
There was at no time any discourtcsy
exhibited. Nothing married this exh-
bition, the very best and cleanest of out
door sport, and to all the good people
the members of the ball team, as well as
the Park association, are grateful 1t
was fair, square contest, no interfer-
ence, and the club playing the better
ball won.
The game began with Cumberland at
the bat, and Flanagan, the premier
twirler of Georges Creek, was on the
slab for the "Mets.' Before the game
had gone minutes it was apparent that
the great pitcher was not himself at all.
for in the first inning Cumberland scored
three runs on three hits, and three men
hit with the ball. Things looked pretty
dark and the Cumberland hooters began
to sing the refrain-"Oh. How Easy"
But Frostburg wasn't SO easy After
the first inning Flanagan resumed con-
troll of the ball and pitched well.
Jackson supported him excellently
and the boys in the field played ball ''fol
