THE ATToRNEY-GENERAL.

When the bill to create the office OF
Encouragement was before the last
legislature, it was strongly advocated
by Clarke c. Fits, then a member OF
the House, who said that such an
officer should be able to save the state
of Vermont his salary every year.
Later, when by the turn of events,
Fits was himself elected to the Office,
this utterance required to the minds OF
many, who have followed his official
conrse with interest.
1t may not be possible to show in
dollars and cents just how much Fits
has saved the state, but that he has
made the Office one OF importance and
high value is not to be doubted. II
is worth all it costs to have a lawyer
OF his keenness and ability, bearing an
official connection with the states adj
to whom questions OF
public importance may be submitted
and opinions quickly obtained; who
may be called TO assist in the prosecu-
ton of high crimes, or the conduct of
cases to which the state is a party.
is it well to have from such
an official recommendations Tor i'm

have shown needlul.

read with interest and profit by the
lawmakers soon to assemble. The

tutions that the attorney general has
conducted will make his advice partic-
ularly welcome in any reform meas
