Words Fifty Spoken.

1t has been well said that there is too
little taffy in this world anl too much
epitaphy and we are glad to reprint and
cordially endorse the following tribute
to popular travelling man who is wide
" known outside the trade because he
was formerly at the head of the national
organization of the Sons of Veterans:
"Mr. Frank P. Merrill, who represents
the Boston paper firm OF J. Carter & Co.,
was said to have sustained a shock of
apoplexy some days ago, but the crafty
ing news comes to the effect that be is
recovering nicely and will soon be well
again. There isn't more honest or
popular drummer in New England than
he. For twenty-five years we have been
doing business with him. buying OF him
during that period many thousand dol
lars worth of stock, and in not single
instance were we disappointed in the
slightest degree in any presentations be
made as to the quality or prices of the
goods sold US. 1t is most remarkable
record and one that is consistent only
with sterling traits of character. He
has loyal patrons all along his route.
They don't perhaps particularly know
the firm he works for. AS a matter of
fact, they done care anything about it.
Frank is the one they are doing bus
mess with. They know that he will be
as regardiul of their interests as of the
interests of his firm and will give them a
veritable square DEAL So for years
Frank has been going regularly on his
route. until newspaper men and printers
began to look upon him as an essential
part of their business. In some offices
they set their watches by him. His
geuial presence bursting in on patron
seems just like getting money from home.
So the best wishes of all his hosts OF
friends go out for his speedy and COM
plete recovery"

Senator Proctor.

An exclusive despatch in Wednesday,
Boston Globe from their Washington
correspondent announced that Senator
Proctor would resign his seat before his
term expired in 1911, retiring immediate
1y after President Rooseveit's term ex-
pires in 1909. Senator Proctor will
then have completed 20 years of public
service-a record of which he may well
be proud.
The same despatch also announced
that Congressman Foster would be a
candidate for Senator Proctors seat,
and several newspapers have limited
that the senior Vermont Senator would
like to have Mr.. Foster succeed him.
ExGov. Carroll S. Page will undoubted-
ly be Mr.. Fosters most formidable COM
petitor and he has large following
throughout the state. Others already
mentioned are DR.. w. S. Webb, ex-Gov.
Woodbury. and Percival W. Clement.
1t looks as If Vermont would have big
senatorial contest in the near future and
may the best man win.

The Rogers Case.

Mary Rogers paid the penalty of her
crime on the scaffold last Friday, Gov.
Bell wisely declined to interfere and
sentence was executed. We believe it is
the last hanging that will ever occur in
Vermont. The majority of our people
are opposed to capital punishment, and
the last Legislature would have abolish.
ed it had not some felt that it was
scheme to save Mary Rogers. There
will be no such reason next year and we
expect the Legislature of 1906 will
abolish it. Imprisonment for life is a
terrible and dreaded punishment and
fits any crime.

academy. On his return to Vermont ne
continued his studies and recited to Rev.
5. *. b. Perkins OF Glover. until he was
htted Tor college. In 1886 he commenc-
ed the study OF law in the Office of
Charles l. Vail. In the spring of 1869 he
went west with the intention of taking
course in the Ann Arbor, Michigan,
law school, but serious accident pre-.
vented and he later returned to Vermont.
in the tall of 1871 he resumed his law
studies in the office of the late William
w. Grout at Barton and was admitted
to the bar in September 1872 and at the
election that month he was elected to
represent Albany in the General Assem-.
bly, and took leading part in the legis.
lation OF that session. The following
year he opened a law office at North
Craitsbury. He was elected to represent
the town in the session OF 1878, served
on the judiciary committee and was one
OF the leading members of that import
ant body. He was town clerk of Crafts
bury from 1875 until his removal to Bar
ton in April 1881. He formed partner
ship with General Grout under the firm
name OF Grout and Miles.
In 1890 he was elected states attorney

Hon. Willard w. lilies.

In the appointment OF the Hon. Will
lard W. Miles, of Barton as the sixth
associate Judge of the supreme court Of
Vermont to fill the vacancy on the
bench occasioned by the death of Hon.
Henry r. Start, of Bakersfield, Governor
Bell has made one of the wisest and
strongest appointments of his admins
tration.
In the natural course of events the
Governor is called upon to fill vacancies
caused by death or resignation in various
state offices, and there certainly is no
official place filled or to be filled BY
Governor Bell where greater care is
necessary than in elevating some attor-
ney to the supreme bench of the state.
The people demand that this great
judicial office shall be filled, not only by
one who is a profound lawyer, and an
eminent jurist, but one whose absolute
integrity and purity of life have grown
him to the full stature OF perfect man
hood. Such an one the Governor has
found, and the appointment will certain
ly meet the unqualified approval of our
citizenship.
Judge Miles brings to the bench
strong body, a clear and sound mind
ably trained in the law, coupled with
loftiness of purpose and devotion to
the. duties of his high office, that will
still further elevate the bench of our
state.
He was born at Albany, Vermont,
February 6, 1916, son Of Grin and
Eunice (Clark) Miles. He received his
early education in the district schools

leased lines. Plans are being made by
the Central to practically rebuild the St,
Johnsbury and Lake Champain railroad
and make it an important part Of the
system. Vermont and New England are
both to becongratulated on the prospect
OF greatly improved railroad facilities.
Good as the management of the Roston
& Maine has been, New York Central is
still better. 1t is known, the world
over, as the greatest railroad in America.
1t is progressive, and whateverit touches
prospers. This report will be denied, as
was the acquisition of the Rutland, but
official denials are to be taken for what
they are worth. The deal is sure to be
consummated in the near future, as the
stock necessary to control the B. & M.
has already been acquired by friends OF
the Central and it will assume control
whenever it is ready to do so.- Burling.
ton Clipper.
The above may be taken for what it is
worth and we remark incidentally that
several years ago the CALIFORNIAN said
it was only question of time when the
New York Central absorbed the Boston
& Maine and the Pennsylvania took in
the New York, New Haven & Hartford.
That is the logical outcome of this era
of railroad consolidation. The largest
owner of the Boston & Maine is the
American Express Company, Wander
built enterprise, and when the New York
Central considers that the time is ripe
it will add the Boston & Maine to its
great system, just as it has taken on the
Rutland and the Boston & Albany. We
can hardly believe, however, that the St.
!. & l.. c. railroad will become an i'm.
portant part of the new system. The
grades on this road are too severe for
heavy traffic and unless it is practically
rebuilt it would be useless for transcon-
tinental freight.
