Woman's Club 18th Annual.

The 18th annual meeting of the Brat
tleborO Woman s club was held We'd
nesday afternoon in the Brooks House.
Reports of work done during the past
year were read by officers and the
chairman Of the standing committee
showing an especially successful year
Financially the club is better off than
ever before, there being a balance on
hand of $1S21S. The total member.
ship of the club is 225 which is within
% of the number limit. The Penny
Savings system which was start.
ed last year by the club has been con
tinued with the aid of teachers and
collectors with most gratifying results.
During the II months in which be.
tween 500 and 600 pupils in our schools
have had the benefit of this effort to
help them save the collections have
amounted in round numbers to $l0l2.31
of which $6l1.65 has been trans
ferred to individual bank accounts and
$195.73 has been withdrawn in cash.
The balance of the money is represent
ed in the deposit cards. Much of the
money withdrawn has been expended
for necessaries, in one instance two
boys in one family withdrawing their
money to help pay for a house.
Another noteworthy effort of the club
is the plan for the summer school for
manual training to be held during July
this summer.
The civics committee which was es-
tablished during the year has done
much to arouse public interest in vii
lage improvement.
Members of the club have furnished
lunches each day for the free kinder
garten, besides helping this work in
various other ways.
Following the reports, officers were
elected as follows: President, Mrs.
George E. Warner; first vice president,
Mrs. Clarke c. Fits; second vice

THE eovERNoRsHIP QUESTION.
Hapgood Pleads for Candidate With
Stiff Upper Lip and Strong Backbone

Editor Rutland Herald:
| notice that with a lantern IN your
hand in broad day light, you are looking
for candidate for governor who stands
for something" something besides rota-
ton or location.
Your search is, indeed, timely and
praiseworthy, especially in view, OF the
field before us white for the harvest.
Reform is in the air all over the country,
and there is no reason why vermont
should be a laggard in the matter,
Our next candidate should stand for a
system of legislation that will prevent the
further passage of laws without due and
full consideration; who would, if elected,
veto at least three-fourths of all such
laws as have been passed during, the re-
cent sessions-a putrid mass Of bralnless
mush that no intelligent, patriotic, cltl,
zen can have the patience to READ
through, even though printed leglply,
without feeling OF disgust. And his
vetos should not be the silent Vetos,
caused by the mere neglect to approve
so called pocket" vetos, but should ring
with earnest protest against tins pefVer-
sion, and base use of privilege. j.,
Our last session laws fill volume OF
near a thousand pages. The patient pub
lie has stood this thing about as long as
it can. The result is that all laws, both
good and bad, are coming into disrepute
This thing must stop, or else every one
who has true self respect will have it in
his mind to emigrate. Don't let us talk
about New Vermont" until we can
stop acting like pack of school boys
when we are in the solemn act of plac-
ing laws upon our statute books.

use his influence against the election by
the legislature of any of its own members
