administration, which will follow the ad-
ministration Of President Roosevelt The
Globe announced that Senator Proctor had
sent to the editor Of the Burlington Free
Press a letter for public use, announcing
his plans
His age-he is now in his 18th year
and the enforced absence of Mrs. Proc
tor from Washington. where the climate
does not agree with her, are given as his
reasons Of proposing to withdraw to
private life. In 1909 Senator Proctor will
have completed 20 years service in Wash
ington. counting the time which he served
in President Harrisons cabinet as secre-
tary Of war He has been one OF the strong
men OF the Senate from the day that he
entered it. He is one of the men who,
as the Boston Globe says. can guide and
direct, who keep their feet on the earth
instead of soaring off into the clouds,
catching sunbeams with oratorical nets;
men like Aldrich and Hale and the late
Senator Plat of Connecticut"
Senator Proctor has never posed as an
orator, but no speech in many years has
had a more far-reaching effect than the
one which he delivered in the Senate
shortly after his return from Cuba. in
which he indicted Spain at the great
bar of public opinion.
The Boston papers rather prematurely
announce Representative David J. Foster
Of Burlington as Mr. Proctors probable
successor. and he is quoted as saying that
he will be a candidate when the time
comes. Senator Proctor proposes TO fol-
low the course taken by his distinguished
predecessor, Senator Edmunds, in resign-
ing.
1t would seem difficult to find in Yer
mont today a man who can go to Wash
ington and carry the all-around weight
which Senator Proctor represents, but it
is possible to develop the man of the
hour"

The PresIdent,s Messaae.

Too long.
That's the main criticism Of the Presi-
dents message
1t is the most formidable document in
length any President has ever sent to
Congress. Its reading occupied three
hours at the session Of Congress Tuesday
and entirely reproduced it would hu three
full pages of paper like The Phoenix.
Not one citizen in a hundred has read it
word for word.
The first main section, which is devoted
to a consideration Of corporations and of
their supervision and regulation by federal
authority, attracts leading attention.
The President is aware of the difficulties
in the way of this undertaking, but he
urges that Congress shall exercise its
authority as far as the constitution will
allow. If this prove ineffective. lit will
certainly be necessary ultimately to con-
fer in fullest form such power upon the
national government by proper amend
ment of the constitution" While corpora
tions have done and are doing much good,
and are not to be regarded in any spirit
of hostility, they must be restrained from
doing wrong by "a sovereign whose juris-
diction is coeXtensive" with their field
of operation, and our steady aim should
be, by legislation cautiously and carefully
undertaken, but resolutely persevered in,
to assert the sovereignty of the national
government by affirmative action"
The particular application of this, of
course, is to the regulation of railroads.
The laws on this subject hitherto have
been Of "a negative or prohibitive rather
than an affirmative kind They have
in part sought to prohibit what could not
be prohibited, and therefore they could
not be enforced. The President discusses
the subject of rate-regulation at length,
deprecating Improperly radical or hasty
action" but insisting that the power
should be affirmative and should be given
to some administrative body created by
Congress-"
Regarding public ownership of railroads
as highly undesirable, and probably en-
falling far-reaching disaster, he wishes
ito see such supervision and regulation
of them in the interest of the public as
will make it evident that there is no
need for public ownership"
The comparatively brief paragraph in
which the President deals with the sub
ject of the public revenues is plainly de-
signed to discourage discussion of the
tariff. There is much more need, he says,
Of stability than of the attempt to at
tain an ideal perfection; no change
should be made except for grave reason
and by general agreement, and while some
readjustment may be desirable, it is "as
yet too early to say whether there will be
need of it," Economy is urged.
The last portion of the message treats
of the Panama canal The President re-
lates very briefly what has been done and
how far the plans may be regarded as de-
termined On the only point remaining
unsettled, "the question of type" he de-
fers comment until he shall be able to
lay before Congress the report of the
advisory board. What is needed now is,
an immediate appropriation for the cur
rent and accruing expenses OF the com7
mission.

MARY ROGERS TO BE HANGED TODAY
Execution to Take Place Shortly After One O'clock Today
Bell Again Refuses to Interfere

physical condition. The amount of the
Insurance Is $500.
Gov. Bell, who was in Chicago to
attended meeting Of the New England
association, said in an interview Monday:
My stand is unalterable in the case of
Mrs. Rogers. There are some things
which we in Vermont respect, am happy
to say, and the supreme bench is one OF
those things. The laws of the state are
there to be enforced, and l happen to be
the official whose duty 1t is to see that
they are, enforced. II Mrs. Blickensder-
FER wishes to see me I am ready to meet
her" He also said that he expected to
be back in the state at the time of the
execution. 1t is understood that he ar
rived at his home in Walden yesterday.
T. w. Maloney attorney for Mrs.
Rogers, at Rutland Tuesday, criticised
Gov. Bell for his early announcement
that he would let the law take it's course
and not interfere in the hanging. The at
torney said:
THE governor is a court of last resort,
and for a tribunal to give his decision
before he has heard the evidence is un-
becoming undignified and scandalous.
/ had intended to make a last appeal for
another reprieve until the hasty decision
came from Walden, the home Of the
executive"

Says He Paid for Protection.

Because a posse of II United States and
Canadian officials descended upon the
famous Zine house" at Richford, owned
by A. B. Chapelle, and seized liquor worth
500, he was arrested and brought to Bur-
lington Wednesday by a deputy United
States marshal and arraigned before Com
missioner George F. Johnson, who held
him for the federal courts.
Chapelle said that he had for years paid
officials in Richford for protection, and
that he has known when his place was
to be searched. His present trouble was
caused by temperance forces, he said, who
had special deputies appointed TO make
the raid. He said he knew the raid was
to be made, but supposed 1t would be
similar to those made in previous years.
Chapelle's place of business is partly
in Canada and partly in the United States,
and when searches have been previously
made his stock of goods would always be
across the line, no matter from which
side the search was made. The joint
search made this play ineffective.

Fake. Stories In Boston Papers.

Superintendent w. s. Lowell was very
indignant when he saw the article printed
in a Boston newspaper Wednesday, sent
by special correspondent in Windsor.
1t stated that a message was sent to
Mary Rogers by the papers representa-
tive, asking 1t there remained anything
that could be done for her to add to her
comfort in these her last days and that
she replied as follows: Il thank you for
your offer. There is nothing you can do
for me now. Everything has been tried
l must hang. There is nothing you can
do to tighten the hours of these last days.
] ask you only to pray for my soul when
/ am dead"
The superintendent said that it would
be impossible to get a message to Mrs.
Rogers and that the story is a falsehood
from beginning to end: made up of whole
cloth. No one can reach Mary Rogers, he
said, unless they have business of a ma
ture to warrant such privileges. A guard
is stationed at the door of the corridor
to keep everyone out. More than 100
other fake interviews with Supt. Lowell,
Atty-Gen. Fits and other officials have
been published.

Howard L. Hindley has resigned the
editorship of the Ludlow Tribune to go to
the staff of the Rutland Herald. Mr..
HindIey has made good with the news
paper fraternity both as a writer and a
fellow. As a paragrapher-and this is not
light praise, as the paragraph is a
greater power than the labored discus
sion or the ponderous phillipic-HindIey
has never been excelled among the news
paper men of Vermont. He strikes with
point and pungency and many of his
shafts have good, sensible thought back

him for even better work than in the past
in a larger field and with greater op-
portunities.

Attorneys Claimed to Have Hope for Mrs
Rogers.

THE prospects for saving Mary Rogers
are much brighter, / think we shall be
able to squeeze out of it." This was
the statement of L. b. Finn OF Spring
field at the close OF a conference of at
torneys working in behalf Of the woman.
held at the Bardwell House in Rutland
Wednesday evening. This statement is
given more weight because the attorneys
had then invited Hon. H. II. Powers of
Morrisville to their conference, and the
presence Of man of his legal standing
has given the move more character than
II has heretofore possessed.
The attorneys are reticent about giving
out their plan but it is known they had
before them large amount Of documents
relating to the mental condition of Mary
Rogers by which they hope to show that
she was of a depraved nature and not
responsible for the crime Of which she has
been legally convicted.
The attorneys would not say so but it
is thought that one of their number left
Rutland Thursday morning to meet the
governor en- route home from Chicago to
present their claims to him.

Mills Hotel No. has been contracted
for, and its total cost will be $500, O0O
In its construction and equipment there
will be no hotel in New York more mod
ern or scientific. In fact, some of the
innovations which will be introduced, ac-
cOrding to those in charge, will open the
eyes of hotel managers all over the world
The location of the new hotel is in the
heart of the theatre district, and it will
be surrounded by some of New York's best
hostleries. 1t goes to show that the eight
years experience which Mr.. Mills has

multiplication of them. The new hotel
