Fulfill Prediction.

George Washington McCaGkrin with
the assistance of Harry HavcrEeld, the
shotgun justice of the peace, opened
his congressional campaign in Moline
Saturday evening, driving to that city
in one of the city's conveyances.
George says that he predicted that he
would be in congress by the time he
was 81 years of age and as this is the
last chance he will have to get in un-
der that prediction, he thinks the poo
pie ought TO rally to his support. He
also enlightened the Moline audience

Death Of william Z. Barrett.

William f. Barrett, publisher Of the
Boston Daily Advertiser and Boston Even
ing Record, who died early Monday morn
ing at his home in Melrose Mass, after
a short illness with pneumonia, had been
prominent figure in journalism. finance
and politics. Many vermonters had
watched his career with interest from the
time when he served his newspaper ap-
premiership as a reporter on the St
Adams Messenger, from 1850 to 1882.
About the same time another youth who
afterward gained fame and fortune was
humble newspaper worker in the same
town, the late Charles Hoyt, the play
wright. Mr.. Barrett was born a. years
ago in Melrose, but when he was I2 years
old his parents moved to Claremont, n.

college in the latter town. He graduated
in 1850 from Dartmouth, where he had
high record for scholarship. and then be-
gan work on the Messenger. He went
from ST. Adams to Boston and shortly
afterward to Washington as correspond
ent for the Advertiser, remaining there

BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY /
Ex.eovsrnor Holhrnok.

An elegant basket OF American Beauty
roses was presented yesterday from Gov
ernor Bell and all the ex-governors of
Vermont to ex-Governor Frederick Hoi-
brook Of Brattleboro, on the event of his
93d birthday. II has before been stated
that it was the original Intention of these
distinguished gentlemen to call upon ex-
Governor Holbrook on that day and ten
der him a banquet at the Brooks House
at which other prominent citizens would
be present; but upon advising with him
and his friends, IT was feared that such
an occasion would make too great de-
mand upon his strength, and II was aban-
doned and these beautiful flowers were
presented instead
The donors first ldnd plan and the
cheering gift made by them. with accom-
panylng notes, show The high esteem in
which they hold vermont's Grand Old
Man. These attentions are tokens of the
personal regard Of his successors in the
chief executive Office OF the state. and
they also show TO the generation OF young
men who are assuming public duties that
a pure and noble life will be remembered
and honored.

supper to Mr.. Fits.

A company of Mr.. F1tts's personal
friends. representative business and pro-
fessional men, rendered him a banquet
at the Brooks House last evening.
Twenty-nine covers were laid. The long
table was made beautiful with a pro-
fusion OF flowers, and there were sur
roundings OF palms. ferns and potted
plants. Two hours were spent in the en-
Joyment OF very elegant repast. After
cigars had been lighted Hon. ]. L. Mar
tin, acting as toastmaster. called upon
Mr.. Fits. who, in few words, with evil
dent deep feeling. expressed his appre-
citation of the loyal way in which his
friends had stood by him, and of the
evenings tribute OF respect and congtatu-
lation. He assured his friends, also, of
his wish and purpose to prove to them
in years to come that their confidence
had not been misplaced Nearly all the
gentlemen present followed with brief
speeches.

Pensions for the LIfe.savIno Service.

The movement In Congress to provide
pensions for the keepers and surfmen of
the life-saving service deserves approval.
In fact the life savers are as much en-
titled to pensions as the soldiers. With
the exception of the commissioned Of
ficers the terms of service of the soldiers
are usually for comparatively short pc
riods. Glamour and romance are thrown
about the soldier. In actual warfare he
has an opportunity to win plaudits and
distinction, and, If his early education
has not been neglected, rapid promotion.
His heroic deeds are widely heralded and
on his return from hard service he is
lionized, and If he has incurred disability
his government deals generously with
him for all his days. The coast guard
leads a hard, secluded life, with small
pay and little chance for promotion. His
deeds of daring are seen by but few and
they seldom come TO public notice. He
must patrol the lonely coast In fair
weather and foul, and when wrecks oc-
The life-savers rescue hundreds of peo-
pie each year and prevent the destruction
of hundreds of thousands of dollars in
property. These men give the best years
of their lives to this exacting and danger
GUS service, and It would be only suitable
recognition to provide pensions alike for
disability and old age, for the brave, hu-
manitarian work of these useful but
little lauded public servants.

Perhaps it was well that Vermont did
not go to South Carolina for a law to con-
troll the liquor traffic when a change was
made in the state in 1902. Both branches
Of the South Carolina legislature nave
voted to abolish the dispensary system.
The greatest objection against it is the
opportunity which it offers for graft. The
dispensary scheme was the pet creation
of United States Senator Tillman, an ex-
governor OF the state. He still has faith
in 1t and declares that next summer he
will take the stump to speak plainly to
the plain people in an attempt to
resuscitate the measure.
