Nx-iov, Bol's yaIedictory message
was full of good advice and spoke
with confidence regarding the great
future before Vermont. IL closing he
spoke as follows:
"The better we come to know YER
mont, the more proud We are Of her
present enterprise and grand posi-
bilities. The wheels of industry are
busy, the barns full, and success and
prosperity are evident on every side.
Our great prosperity as a state is
made substantial by the individual
success of the humblest citizen.
There is no trouble bet ween labor and
capital. These two giants walk hand
in hand in Vermont. Our most seri-
ons pc blem at the present time is the
lack of help, in the factory, on the
farm, in the kitchen. Our Industrial
possibilities have just begun to be
developed. There is no lack of funds
for this purpose, for our savings bank
deposits are increasing by a million OF
. ,S5liars annually. Vermont is NO
place for Idle hands.
"Of course, we cannot make a man
honest and temperate, or a state in
dustriou5 and prosperous, by statute.
but we can by wise legislation en-.
courage and foster these conditions
sit rs to legislate for the good of al
our varied interests that you are
assembled here. The farmers r
majority in every Vermont legisla
ture. Tney should remember tina
majority mean power and powe,
means responsibility. Avoid class
legislation. Be honest Be faithful
Be fair. Be economical. Remember
shat the goose that lays our COLDER
egg is not a foreign product, but
native of our soil. Act for the gooC
of Vermont and every. individual
interest will be benefited, and, in the
blessings of Providence, the continued
prosperity thus assumed will amply
repay your honest efforts"

Bacon and many Others spoke. Of
Auditor Graham's speech an exchange
says: "Auditor Graham made a
speech full of dry humor, which
proved to be one of the gems of the
evening. He said that Mr.. Fits had
called him up and said that Brattle-
boro was in an uproar. This, how
ever, was nothing new; Brattleboro
was always that way. What was the
matter? Did some one else want ar

Chaplain Farman's speech: "Chap.

THE COMPANY HE KEEPS.
rScranton Journal.1

lSCranCOn JOuIilui
There are thirteen counties In Geo.
d. Perkins Eleventh district and Gov.
Cummins has carried ten out of the
thirteen. II that isn't a sad home en-
dorsement the term has lost it's mean
ing. To complete the chapter. the only
show that Perkins is making comes
from that portion of the state which
politically has an unsavery reputation
in all sections of the country. 1t Is
known as the Reservation" and has
been Blythe-ized for years. 1t lies
contiguous to the G. B. & @. railroad.
Five years ago LATE Young wrote a
history of the political influence of this
road, and named it Wrecks Along the
O." In this article he said II any
young man wanted an office in the
state that it was necessary that he
should first make his peace with j. w.
Blythe, the general solicitor for the
90" in Iowa 1t seems that Mr. Per-
kins has taken this precaution and
early received the support of this rail-
road magnate. and Mr.. Blythe is de
livering the goods" If there is any
thing in the old saying that a man IS
known by the company he keeps. who
can honestly blame the republicans of
this state for repudiating George D..
Perkins. He has made his bed and he
must lie in it.

CUPID AND THE COLLEGE PROFESSOR.

According to a news story in the
daily press, Dr.. Hadley of Yale, at
meeting of the trustees of the Carnegie
fund for pensioning college professors,
urged the probability that the old pro-
fessor endowed with a comfortable an
nuity would become the prey Of sirens.
Dr. Hadley was speaking on the propo-
sition to pay pension to the WIDOWS
of college professors. He feared that
the elderly and impressionable PEN
sioner would be the target of multi
tudious goo-goo eyes to invefgle them
into matriniony, await their death ana
get young and frisky husband thru
the attraction of the pension. Profess
sor Hadley didn't quote it but doubt
less had in mind the proverb there is
no fool like an old fool" where women
are concerned.
Turning to the army pension rolls
there Is much to confirm Hadley's fear.
Many of the widows of the revolution

Mexico and husky old ladies long after
the rebellion. The old man with a
pension has his attractions.
But why not? If any one needs
spry wife It is feeble and decrepi;
college professor. Are We to Oslerize
Cupid when his temples show gray? Is
love, the only refuge and shelter OF
old age, to be denied the door when the
back bends with the weight Of the
grasshopper? And looking at it from
another standpoint who is more likely
to put Mr.. Carnegie's money into &C
tive circulation than young widow?
Professor Hadley may go hang. The
grocer, the milliner and the dry goods
store are all against him.

1t is amusing rather than serious, -
comments the Davenport Democrat.
The standpat papers are telling their
readers, whom they can fool some of
the time, that investors are holding
back, that men Of money are alarmed
over the commercial clouds that such
ambitious politicians" as LaFollette,
Cummns, and others are raising.
That's rot, nothing less, intended to
intimidate. The political financiers
are always hanging up some old scare
crow"

questions at George d. Perkins: ''If

FORT popeE,s EDITORIAL WRITER'S.

Webster county yesterday furnished
one of the incidents of the campaign.
TT Dodge. which is Webster county
Is the home of Senator Dolliver, George
n. Roberts and Thos. r.. Healy. Dur
ing recent months Tom Healy seems to
have been at home more than either Oh
his two distinguished neighbors. Mr..
Roberts owns newspaper in TT
Dodge and this he has used vallantly
to fight Cummns in the interests OF the
federal crowd who desire very much
to nominate Perkins Mr.. DolliNer does
not own a newspaper but he can be IN
terviewed and he has used this method
of publicity to set forth his faith in
The goodness of Mr.. Perkins and MS
desire to see the Sioux City man NOM
mated. Mr.. Healy has neither news
paper nor the effrontery to be inter-
viewed so he writes an editorial argu-
ment upon the situation and mas II
signed by the republican delegates
composing Webster County's conVeh-
ZION.
This is the story which must be read
from Webster county's resolutions VI
Yesterday. They are remarkable. lhey
set forth in argumentative form that
the republicans of Webster county are
not unmindful of Senator Dolllvers
personal fortunes but that there is an
issue involved in the Iowa campaign
ito enlarge the powers of the inaiVla-
ual voter and to minimize the power
Of those who aagrantly commentaries
their abilities in political intrigue
They commend Dolliver for his STAND
for rate regulation but are mot I'M
mindful that 1t was Cummlns WHO
iourneyed to washington Win othei
governors to induce Roosevelt TO de-
mand this reform. Then just to rup II
in little the resolutions speak OF the
nri1e Webster county feels in finding
itself Gin company with every county
in this congressional district" ana
hit Of timely warning is given TO SEN
ator Dolliyer and the whole federai
crowd that 1--WE regard this campaign
as hit an Indictment to the great pa
tle of 1908 when Iowa's protest against
Aldrichism shall be neither stifted nor
misunderstood"
'rhe Honorable Thomas E. Healy is
an able editorial writer The parch-
ment he uses and medium of expression
he employs are unique but the argu-
ment is set forth in most convincing
terms George Roberts when he writes
shelter planks and then fights the
friends who stand by his writings can
moi do half as we'll. Dolliver, when he
writes interviews against the friends
who have declared their willingness to
helm him does not make himself near
so clear. Mr.. Healy has delved deep
enough into politics to see the abilities
that are commercialized in political
intrigue and he takes no chances OF
ba;ng misunderstood in pointing out
the issues of this campaign which
make of minor significance the per-
sonality of any candidate

more certain that Cnmmins will be re-

was responsible for disrupting the par
ty here? Presumably, of course, the
Cummins candidacy was the bone of
contention, but what has Cummins
done to disrupt the party? He may be
responsible for the fact that Mr. Blythe
is disrupting the party but let's not lose
sight of the real man who is doing the
