"There is no state in the union whose
sons and daughters in other parts of the
country are more numerous, or more
loyal to the mother state, than is the
case with Vermont.
"There is no state better, and few as
well adapted to a summer celebration of
the kind intended by the originators of
the old home week idea and it would not
be difficult matter to- induce large
numbers of the former residents of the
state to come to the Green Mountains for
a few days, if it were undertaken in the
right way.
"The whole trouble is that nobody
seems to make any great effort. Ver-
mont can to advantage observe the
methods pursued by the people of Mass
achusetts. Already a large volume of
literature advertising the old home week
of the Bay state is being sent out and
thousands upon thousands of letters both
business and personal, bear small
"stickers" telling facts regarding the old
home week celebration. Many other
legitimate methods of advertising are
being resorted to, with the result that
the Massachusetts affair is kept in the
minds of former citizens in all parts of
the land
Let every loyal Vermonter wake up
to the importance of Old Home Week
and start the ball rolling in his town and
village.

Col. j. c. Baker Dead.

Col. Joel C.. Baker died at Rutland
June 6, after an illness Of several months.
He suffered breaking down of the
nervous system and for months his con-
dition had been gradually worse until
the end.
Col. Joel Clark Baker was born in
Dandy April Is, 1888. He was educated
in the public schools of Dandy and Wal
lingford and at Poultney academy. In
1859 he commenced the study of law in
the Office of Spencer Green of Dandy
and continued his legal studies in the
office of David E. Nicholson of Walling-
ford. In 1862 he was admitted to the
Rutland county bar. Shortly after
being admitted to the bar, Col. Baker
enlisted as private in Company B, 9th
regiment, Vermont volunteers, was
mustered into the service as sergeant
and before his discharge he reached the
grade of captain. At the surrender of
Harper's Ferry he was sent as paroled
prisoner to Chicago, where he remained
until exchanged, Jan. o. 1863. In the
closing days of the war Col. Baker was
present at the engagements at Chapin's
farm, Fair Oaks, and the capture of
Richmond. He was among the first to
enter the latter city. Reaching the resi-
dence of Jefferson Davis, where the
confederate flag was still flying, he
pulled it down and took it away with
his own hands.
After the war Col. Baker resumed his
legal practice, first in Wallingford and
afterward in Rutland. In 1856 he was
elected to the State senate and he had
also served as city attorney county
auditor and refereee in bankruptcy.

with failing health and increasing age,
when life insurance can no longer be
obtained. In any event, however

money is needed in settling an estate

a life insurance policy is cash in bank.
"Not ready yet2" That's because
you are just now in robust health with
every promise OF long life. If you
knew that, at some time within a year
the exact date alone being uncer-
tain-you would be uninsurable, you
would be ready for policy Immediately,
and would want US to rush things.
Well, there are just two things that you
do actually know;
a. You know, or think you do,
that you are insurable now.
b. You know, without doubt, that
sooner or later you will be Uninsurable,
how soon you cannot tell.

pected. Most of it is put up of natural
concrete material, and is rounded up
so that it gets hard and sheds water.
Governor Chamberlain has had con.
ference with Judge Scott, of Marion
county, and Supt. James, and they
have agreed that some gravel can be
put on few soft places, and that the
road will stand all right through the
winter, and the legislature will be in
vited to go out and see the road built
with convict labor. The governor went
over it in the rain, and was well salts.
fed with the way it stands wear and
tear in the soul-trying times of Western
Oregon wetness.
Favors More Roads.
The governor says the road problem
is comparatively easy in Eastern Ore
gon, but wants the convict built roads
extended in Western Oregon. He says
he can see no reason why there should
not be fine highway built from Port
land to the California line with convict
labor. The five or six miles have been
made under the most difficult condi
tons. The same amount of money
would build twice as much road any
where else, and he wants authority to
construct a longer piece of road before
there is any special legislation, and
then let the experience gained in that
way b. utilized in drafting a bill to
employ convict labor on larger scale
He is in favor of proceeding slowly in
the matter and carrying the sentiment
Of the people with this reform, rather
than seek to impose a system upon the
people which they are not thorough ly
prepared to accept, and that has not
been demonstrated to be a success.

Governor Chamberlain
Speaks In
Frisco
Studying the Convict Problem
and FaVOrS Building
More Good Roads

Governor Chamberlain goes to SaI
Francisco, where he is invited to oper
the Parker campaign ON next Monday
evening. This is distinction show
cred upon the Democratic executive OF
Oregon, who has incidentally been do
ing quite bit of spell binding over the
state. He went away to the northeast
corner of the state to talk at county
fair, and came back inspired with the
wonderful beauty and resources of that
rapidly developing section of the state.
He says the people of that section
know as little of Western Oregon as we
do about Eastern Oregon, and he took
pleasure in telling them that the people
this side of the mountains do not wear
horns, nor eat hay, nor wear swimming
webs on their heels.
Studying the Convicts.
While in California, Governor Cham.
berlain will be accompanied by Warden
James, and will visit the San Quentin
and Folsom state prisons, and inspect
their methods of handling the men and
working them. He has taken a great
deal of time visiting the prison at Sa-
lem, and becoming acquainted with the
actual character and conditions of the
men and prison life.
The governor does not take radical
views about convict labor competing
with free labor to the extent some seem
to fear. He says most of the large pris
ons carry on some kind of industries,
and it is only question of finding in
dustries that compete as little as posi-
BILE locally or with other states. He
says the number of convicts that can
be worked ON the roads can be extend
ed, and he believes that about 80 men
from the Oregon prison could be worked
and as the system was perfected even
more. To cut out all contract labor,
and try to work all the prisoners on
the public roads he does not believe
ponhlbits AH IL Wouiu cuot great ucdl
of money for steel cages, and transpor
tation in steel cells, and there are large
numbers of the convicts, like holdup
men and dangerous criminals, who could
never be, with safety, trusted outside
the walls of prison. He favors the
extension of the number worked on the
roads, and larger appropriation for
that purpose.
