Travelling Men Demand Another Train
:. on Preston Branch

y. W. B. Clarkson of the grand execu-
tive committee, U. G.. T.. has filed with
the railroad and warehouse commission
a request on behalf of travelling men
that the. Chicago, Milwaukee & St..
Paul railroad be compelled to put on
another passenger train, running each
way, on it's Preston branch. He says.
"The passenger service on this line
seems to be arranged with no regard
for the wishes of the patrons, but it
evidently is arranged entirely for the
convenience Of the company.
"The, two freight trains handle a
large proportion of the passenger bust
ness to the great inconvenience of the
people who are compelled to put up
with this very poor service.
1t is utterly impossible for one to
leave the twin cities on any given day
and get to any destination point be-
yond Preston, except to go by the way
of La Crosse, with a layover at that
point of several hours.
ut is impossible to leave Chicago on
the evening trains and get to any des-
tination point beyond Reno until the
evening Of the next day.
If an opportunity is presented, we
will show that an additional passenger
train running each way, opposite to the

penniless Convicts.

Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri
has discovered that almost every con-
Wet in the Missouri state penltentlary
is poor man and that most of them
have helpless families dependent upon
them. This fact is significant IN con-
nection with the assertion OF Bourke
Cochran of New York, that no man
who has ten million dollars can be put
behind the bars. The state of Mis-
souri, receives $4,000 per month from
convict labor. Governor Folk is going
to recommend to the Legislature that
y part of the convict earnings go to
the support of their families. The man
who drinks golden grain belt beer with
his meals has clear mind and a
healthy body. 1t is pure and whole

Still another effort at entertaining

There will be a reception for the Ia

Governor, Johnson has accepted an
invitation and will be present one day

Leod Of Chicago, chairman Of the West

in attendance, while several other noted
speakers have been secured. The two
days will be crowded with q program
of interest to all who attend.
The season Of the year could not be
more propitious, as June is one Of, the
finest in the calendar at this point. The
magnificent drives are in perfect condi.
ton, there is a fine stage Of water in
the lakes and the streets and roads are
almost always dry and smooth. Albert
Lea will put on gala attire and extend
a cordial welcome and hospitality to
sill who come here to attend the cbnven

to have good time and have only 8
passing interest in the organization. A
large sum Of money will be raised tc
meet the expenses, and nothing will be
left undone to insure a good time fol
all who attend. The prediction is that
from one thousand to one thousand flvt
hundred strangers will be in the city
during the days Of the convention, ant
all can be acceptably cared for here.

There is no better way Of attracting

to show visitors the city. It was with

The following statement is taken from
Gov. Proctor's speech and is some
what startling.
an important matter to receive your
attention is that of the public schools.
While we have made progress during
the past fifteen years in educational
matters, this progress has not been so
great as in many of our sister states
nor what 1t stould have been in Yer
mont. Sixty years ago in freedon
from i~lliteracy Vermont was the sec-
ond state in the Union; to-day she is
the twenty seventh. While this lie to
some extent due to the increased
number of foreign born Children with
in the state, yet Whatever the aus it
is an Unpleasant fact to which [ urge
that you give your prompt, earnesU
and best attention.
In speaking of the highway problem

vor of improved permanent highways
is an indication OF a greater interest

most important subject and fully
merits your most careful attention.
We have many natural conditions
with which to contend, making the
construction or the best highways
difficult and expensive, but these same
conditions make it important to have
such highways Impossible.
On double taxation his message
said:
Dodlle taxation is an evil which go
far as possible should be corrected.
On the matter of court re-organiza-
ton the message says:
Some reorganization of our system
of courts and judicial proceedings is
doubtless necessary. The Vermont
Bar Association has given this matter
much attention and is drafting a bill
TO be submitted 10 you providing for
q general reorganization of the pres
ent system. Recommendations com
Ing from such a source are worthy of
your careful consideration. The rec
concentrations of the attorney general
contained in mis- report to you, cover
ing the arrest, trial and commitment
of persons charged with mi5demean-
ors in our lower courts should also
have your careful and favorable at
tention, mis- recommendations if en-
acted would result in greater economy
and the better administration of jus
tee.
Don't forget these four problems.
They are Important. All others are
minor.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

The work of the first week of the
legislature was treated in last weeks
MONITOR and consisted in organiza-
ton. The standing committees were
not mentioned in last weeks paper,
but the members from Orleans county
on the various committees will be
found elsewhere in this paper. One
bill was introduced in the house that
week and passed both houses and was
signed by the governor last Wednes-
day. The bill which was introduced
by Mr.. Darling of Chelsea, is a bill TO
compel the production of books and
papers by any corporation doing bust
ness within this state, which may be
concerned in a suit or injury before a
court or grand jury, under penalty of
contempt, with provisions for enjoin-
ing the defendants and if necessary
closing up their business and appoint
ing a receiver. The bill applies to
corporations organized in OF out OF
the state doing business here. The
bill is aimed at the Burlington Rem
dering company, which has refused to
show the Chittenden county grand
Jury its books and defes the state.
Many bills of minor Importance
were introduced last week, but some
of them touched OF important sub.
iects. Those in the house of the mos
interest we're a bill relating to the
registration and licensing of automo'
biIes, giving town authorities right tc
close certain roads to motor cars
which roads shall be properly posted
and the penalty for violation not less
than $50 mol more than 5000. An
other related 60 licensing foreign
creamery companies, providing that
the company show their assets and
liabilities before doing business in the
state. Bills were also introduced pro-
viding for weekly payments, one re-
garding the calling of town meetings,
and one relating to the trying of rail
road suits, such suits to be- tried in
the town where the plaintiff resides:
