body unless or until the state author
ICES or permits some disposition
of il. The right OF a son to the
property of father deceased has no
force or being until confirmed by the
state. The son gets his title, not
from the father, but from the state
IL is true that from motives the
lwisest the state commonly distributes
the estate according to the formal
expressed desire OF the deceased, or
in the absence OF a will, among those
who would naturally have had the
most TO do with the accumulation OF
the property, or the most direct
reliance thereon as means of liyeli'
hood TO wit. the immediate relatives
But il is only because the state, seek
ing to find who among the survivors
deserves most from the property left,
coniers ownership on the beneficlaries
named by will, or the near relatives
The whole transaction moves along
paths well defined by law, which Is
the voice of the state. Were it moi
for the legal provisions, there would
be no means by which the heirs oil
beneticiaries could come into wha
they have learned to regard as theil

property against the first stranger
who CHANGED to possess himself of it
The disposition OF estates is one O
the most natural provinces OF govern

OF property until he dies al er that i

the decedent, but from the state tina

Now, inasmuch as the state enjoy

estates, testate and intestate, it is clea

The newspaper representatives of
at least two former governors have
lately claimed for them the credit of
having first advised and recommended
certain of the progressive steps taken
during the present administration.
Doubtless there is much merit in the
claim, but it is one thing to recon-
mend and another to put through.
Proctor did the latter. Not that he
failed to profit by the tide started years
ago by other chief executives, to
which the earnest efforts of the Yer
mont press and public men have con-
stantly contributed until the time was
ripe-all this is true-but that he led,
boldly and well, when and where he
should, so that nothing seems to have
been lacking for the accomplishment
of the things that needed doing-this
stands, and ever will stand, to the
credit Of Governor Proctor. II the
harvest was ripe tor the sickle, he GER
tainly gathered it to the last straw.

Catholic. urged members OF that faith
to vote for no. license, Father o'snlll-
van replied. critielsing the course OF
Shea in his special appeal to Catholics
claiming that the duty OF Catholics
should be pointed out by their resident
clergy. not by interlopers with no
church credentials. and alleging that
Shea was merely catspaw In the
hands OF the no-llcense workers, who
were mainly Protestants and non
Catholics. Shea rejoined In a spirited
manner, maintaining his right to assert
the true position of the Catholic
church in America as regards run
selling. The Catholic priests in Bur
lington and Winooski preached
against license Sunday.
