The Messenger Is very much in
clined TO favor the passage of the
bill forbidding the marriage of the
town charges, idiots, feeble- minded
persons and others in that class
whose issue may themselves become
town charges. Marriage ought TO be
restricted still more, but here is a
good place Co begin. Ii we were
living in state of nature or under
the ola order of primitive things, we
should not be troubled about who
mated and who did not and it might
properly be considered nobody's bust
ness but the parties concerned. But,
If under our modern social system we
mold ourselves called upon to keep
from starvation and nakedness the
fruit of all unions, if our latter-day
ideas of philanthropy tax US for the
TODD, clothing, and shelter of the des
titute offspring of any and all mar
riages, then let us have something TO
say about the other end Of the con-
tract also ana direct who shall be
forbidden.
Nor Is the matter simply an econom
ic one. Something is at stake IN this
business besides mere dollars and
cents. Tue future of the race de-
pends in great measure upon it. We
are confronted with the proposition
whether We shall encourage this class
OF society TO perpetuate its degrade
ton or its infirmities, as the case may
be, and TO intermingle with coming
generations strain Of deceased blood,
or whether we snail by ali rea sonabie
and practical methods begin to DO as
sensible about the breeding OF the
human family as We a about the
breeding OF livestock. The mere fact
that marriage is involved IN this mat
ter does not thereby render it some
thing to be dismissed under the in
diligence OF rosy sentiment. Ii may
not be altogether new TO hint In this
connection that, poetry TO the con-
trary Notwithstanding, not all mach

The fact that the legislature is to
adjourn till December 4Ih led many
members to leave early last week
and Thursday and Friday seausin the
house were not full and very little
business OF Importance was done in
either branch. In the house Thursday
a long season of oratory was brought
forth on the sawdusu bill but the bill
was allied by decisive vote.
The only business of Importance
F.iuay was the completion of the re-
organization OF the Judiciary system
oy the election of three new judges to
fill the places made by the new law,
by joint assembly. The supreme
and superior court judges as made
up now are: Supreme court, John w.
Rowell of Randolph, chief Judge;
James NJ. Tyler of Brattleboro, first
assistant; Loveland Munson of Man
chester, second assistant; John 81.
Watson of Montpelier, third assistant:
Superior court, Seneca Haselton of
Burlington, first; G orge M. Powers
of Morrisville, second; Willard w.
Miles of Barton, third; E. L. Water
man of BrattleDoro, fourth; A. A Hall
of ST. Adams, fifth; w. II. lay ior of

members elected are the last three

The report of the committee from
the Congregational, Methodist, Bap-
fist and Free viii Baptist churches
that met in Montpelier last week is
indeed encouraging along the line of
church federation. This committee
has been canvassing the state to find
the feeling among church members
regarding this federation movement
and while conditions are not yet ripe
fer such a move sentiment is growing
stronger for consolidation. The com
mittee sent to 500 churches list of
questions bearing on this movement,
and whiIe individually many MEM
bers favored and were willing to take
the step, few churches as a whole
seemed ready to make the move.
Demoninational prejudice in the
smaller churches and towns is yet far
too strong to undertake any move
ment OF this kind, yet the committee
ia encouraged to believe that the day
is not far distant when federation of
denominations will take place and the
work of the church carried ahead
much faster and with greater deter
mination than by the present divided
effort.

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.

Thu legislative bodies convened with
more than the usual number OF mem
bers in their seats on Monday after
noon. The house did large amount
of routine work and reconsidered its
action on the bill regarding water
powers, providing for an appropria
ton of $500 annually for the next two
years providing the federal govern
ment will give an equal amount to in
vestigate water resources of the state.
The bill was recommitted to the COM
mittee and will be considered later.
The most important work of the ser
ate was the discussion of the cattle
commissioner bill, and its passage.
Tuesday was busy and important
day in both branches of the legislature
The house voted without dissenting
voice to appropriate $4,000 for the
jamestown exposition. Had the state
felt financially able to do so at least
$40, 900 would have been appropriated
and the most enthusiastic wanted to
make it $40 900 and have the building
made of Vermont marble or granite
and have it filed with Vermont prod
ucts and shown by Vermont men.
The house also passed by vote of 100
to s6 the state fair aid bill, appropia-
ting 81 900 for the aid of a state fair an
nualiy. The afternoon session of the
house was mostly taken up by dis
cussion of the judiciary bill. The SEN
ate killed the woman's suffrage bill by
vote of II to IL after the house had
passed the BILL a3
Wednesday was another long and
busy day in both houses. The senate
wants to see the votes cast for states
attorney in Bennington county and
has ordered them brought to Mont
relier before November 80. The SEN
ate also passed the Jamestown appro-
priation bill, although it was in danger
at times from parties who wished to
make the appropriation larger than
$4,000. Governor Proctor on We'd
nesday signed the bill providing for
an increased tax on steam and cleo
trio railroads amounting to about
$53 900. The house passed the bill
providing for a reorganization of the
judiciary system after the senate had
amended the bill TO provide for four
supreme court judges instead of three.
The house passed by small margin
the bill providing for the equalization
and GENERALIZATION of schools after q
lively discussion. A substitute bill
was introduced in the senate regard
ing the issuing of passes by the rail-
roads, and powers of the commission.

many political friends z NJ. Mansur of
Newport has refused TO let his name
be used as candidate for governor
in 1908, and so states in the following
letter to the Burlington Free Press.
While this is a deep disappointment
to many friends the Colonel feels
that owing TO personal reasons he
must refuse TO let his name be used.

To THE EDITOR OF THE FREE PRESS:
For some time there has been more
or less mention OF my name In con-
nection with the governorship in
1908, many of my friends urging me
TO become a candidate. While rec
ognize that it is early, the discu ssion

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving day.
And in all the history of Vermont
the people never saw time when
true thanksgiving was more fitting
than this year, one thousand nine
hundred and six. Everyone has been
prospered, business has been good,
crops have been big, money has been
plenty, wages have been high and the
outlook for the coming year is even
more promising. While earthquakes,
volcanoes, hurricanes, floods and all
manner of plaques from natures des-
tructiole hand nave been sent upon
other lands AID peoples, we have
been favored with sunshine and
plenty. Let US pause then in our
scramble for material gain and on this
day offer up our thanks to Him by
whose merciful hand we are given
health and prosperity, nay, even life
itself. Read again then the cover
nor's proclamation published on page
eight of last weeks issue and let US
make the most of our opportunities,
let rs cultivate a larger and more re- :
fined home life, let as gather in the
homes and in public places to practice
this old New England custom that has
become national holiday.

Ball Bearing Door Hanger.
Curtis Squ,res and a. Z. Humphrey
OF Lyndonville have been granted a
patent on a ball bearing door hanger
for freigE car doors and slide doors of
almost any kind. I0is a simple device,
very durable and not expensive
for thing of that kind. Last week the
doors of freighs ear were equipped
with these hangers at the shops
IN Lyndonville and they will be given
test. They certainly work to COM
piete salts faction, according TO the
verdict of the men who equipped the
car with them and all who have seen
the hangers work. The invention is
a very clever one and may be one of
the things the railroads of the country
are looking for. The inventors claim
that freight car equipped with their
hangers will never lose a door off.
that the door will slide easily and that
1t is far ahead of anything now in
use for similar purpose.
