GOVERNOR PROCTOR.

The presidents address was followed
by a short address by Governor r. D..
Proctor. who said that he believed no
other organization Of men had a greater
opportunity. duty or individual power
TO work for the good OF the people in
general than that OF the health officers
school. The increased interest and at
tendance. he said, was "A good indication
of the progress and need of the work In
the State. The advance made along
health lines proved. he said. the good
Judgment of the people OF the State. The
schoo brings to a community a knowl-
edge of what they may do TO save them
selves suffering and loss of life. Health
laws he said, are not a question of con-
venience bu of health or sickness, life or
death and It is the duty of local health
officers to guard and guide the public
In health matters. Lastly report of the
progress made at these schools should be
made a part OF all educational meetings
in the State so that the people may
know what is being done and be the first
10 lead in the demand for the advance
Of the work.

cannot be ignored. The same public
sentiment that renders our school la ws.

Is bound to demand the enforcement Of
these health laws, that more than all
others vitality effect our homes and per-
sons. just so far as We are able to de-
monstrate to the public that preventive
legislation does prevent those ills which
are the common foes OF humanity. shall
We he able to enlist that public in our
cause. The health laws must be founded
on a popular demand else they are bound
to he q dead letter. Our present health
laws ar much the sa mo as those Of our
neighboring states.
we have laws enough. and our ener-
| giles should now he directed 10 perfcctiug
these and occurring their enforcement. II
Is n poor law that IL binding on our
ncighhors. but exempts us. IN the uni
versal crusade for pure water, clean
milk and honest foods. we in Vermont
/ must do our part.
Each advance in sanitary administra-
ton Is bound to meet strenuous objec-
lions. The public is entitled to our con-
| fdence In all these matters, our official
| acts should bear the fullest publicity.
The present laboratory law authorizes
the state board to publish" O periodical
giving tho results Of the work done ut
tho laboratory and the approved methods
for the protection of the public health,
and such publication shall he furnished
free TO health officers"
II Is evidently the intent OF this la
thai we. ms guardians of the public health
should he frank with the public. In this
connection il Is proper to mention the
relation which local health officers should
maintain to their several communities
There should We no secrets between such
officers and the public. except so far as
individual misfortune and the dictates
Of humanity direct. The general state
Of the public health should he matter
for public record. Health officers have
no right to blind their constituents to the
dangers of epidcmics nor should they in
flame the public mind with imaginary
perils.
1t is equally injurious to minimize the
perils of threatened p~estilcnce, from
contagious disease, or polluted water, or
adulterated food products, and TO
magnify such dangers.
Every health officer should give his
community the benefit of his official
knowledge, in plain and temperate
language, or all subjects affecting this
public healtE.
Such publicity will enhance the public
confidence in our health departments.
will cultivate respect for our health laws.
and will allay suspicious and fears which
have their foundation In half truths cir
culated by common rumor.
The successful maintenance of this
health officers school for ten years is
matter for congratulation. Those OF us
who have been regular attendants may he
excused for aking a measure Of pride
in the success of this venture. We be-
lieve the school has a future full OF
good for our whole State.

1--WE may make our laws until
there is no part Of life their restric.
tions do not cover. and then we may
sit down and wait to see them do our
work and redeem our brother man.
Believe me, we shall wait in vain.
The world does not wait for better
laws; it waits for the personal service
and sacrifice of love. The whole
moral sense of the community is con-
gested with theories of temperance re-
form, which have in them every note
of excellence but that Of personal SER
vice-and that. if once we can be
reused to it, will be worth them all. "
Cardinal Gibbons vigorously OPP
posed the late prohibition movement
in his home city, Baltimore. In
recent sermon he incidentally referred
to the stand by the Catholic church
in regard to the use of liquor. The
church is not fanatical on the subject
of liquor" said the Cardinal. "but
she teaches moderation. The use OF
LIQUOR in moderation is not to be con-
demned, but if there is danger OF
abuse, then it should not be used at
all"
These are the politically expressed
opinions of wise and great men. They
are worthy of careful perusal and seri-
ous consideration. adv.

Hon. GEO. w. MURRAY,
Of the c o. and Juvenile Courts
Sangamon County.

whose whole soul is for the better
ment of our county's boys; a man
who stands high in character and
whose integrity is unimpeachable. He
is a man of ability, yet unassuming,
and truly what is known as a man
whom the common people" can at
all times reach, without the proverbial
"ten-foot pole" Since the establish
ment of the Juvenile Court, over 1000
boys have come before Judge Murray,
received his kind advice and returned
to their parents, better and more use
full future citizens of the community.
Yes, the Judge is worthy of the
high honor, thrice conferred upon
him, as the choice of the suffragans
of this county for their judge, and we
would that more of our men in higher
places stood SO high and were SO de
servedly thus spoken of as the subject
of this sketch.
On Halloween Eve the Judge called
together over 500 boys, gave them
good advice and a souvenir present,
and the young fellows went home re-
joicing.
Judge Murray's life work in this
county stands out conspicuously, full
of good results, and we say this, with
out hesitancy and without reservation:
Evil things which men do live
after them; but the good is oft in
TERED with the bones;" must not pre-
vail, but give unto Caesar that which
is Cesar r's-honor to whom honor is
due.-Editor.
