The action of Governor Proctor In
releasing those five Migrants" i'm
properly sent up from Windsor
county to the house of correction
should be at least a "jolt" to the
Windsor officers who were party to
the scheme to milk the state for fees.
1t is gratifying to know that officers
are few and far between who have so
little regard for the law as these
Windsor county officers showed
Rutland News.
The Windsor officers side of the
story has not been heard yet. For a
time the past winter the county Jail
and other lock-ups were crowded to
suffocation with men who dropped
off at Windsor and White River juno
ton for the purpose of getting free
lodging, and this condition Of things
may have had something to do with
railroading prisoners to Rutland,

Disregarding Congressman Eos
ter's suggestion that the people of
Vermont are at liberty to withdraw
their attention from senatorship can
didates and devote themselves to
making maple sugar, the folks up in
Mr.. Fosters district are giving lot
of attention to the political matters.
They want to know if he is really
after the senatorship or whether he
will be satisfied to keep his seat in
the House; that is, if he can hold it.
Frank L. Fish has been suggested
as a candidate in case Mr.. Foster
goes after senatorial honors, and the
Rutland Herald notes that Mr.. Eos
ter has lost ground rapidly in Addi-
son and that elsewhere in the dis
trict he is running behind. Mr..
Foster will have to make business
of getting reelected and let other
things alone.

Governor Fletcher D. Proctor has
announced that he will not be a can
didate for the senatorship next fall,
giving very good reasons for not par
ticipating in any contest this year.
One is that he wishes to be a gov
ernor while he holds that position;
another, that he is reluctant to leave
the business with which he has so
long been connected. Governor
Proctor's announcement, it is gener-
ally considered, practically gives a
clear field to Carroll S. Page, who is
not likely to be seriously opposed by
any other candidate.

PROCTOR WILL NOT RUN.

Gov. Fletcher d. Proctor will not
be candidate before the Legislature
this fall for election to fill the unex-
PRED term of his father, the late
Redfeld Proctor, as United States
senator.
Governor Proctor on Monday gave
the following statement to the press:
81 deeply appreciate the desire of
some that l should represent the state
in the United States Senate. Many
whose advice and wishes alike de-
serve great weight urge me to be a
candidate now. have, however,
been reluctant to leave the business
with which have been so long and
happily associated and have had
grave doubts whether / ought at this
time to do so. Aside from my pri-
vate interest have peculiar duty
and responsibility for its success. 1t
touches and affects so many that its
interests are in fact more than pri-
vate. | have also felt a great aver
sion to entering any political contest
while governor of the state or per-
hitting my friends to do SO for me.
1t is my present highest ambition to
complete my term of office as gov
ernor untrammeled by any other con-
siderations than those of the public
good. The weight of these reasons
has not lessened during the past few
weeks but rather strengthened in
my mind and l have decided not to
be candidate at this time.

Miss Louise Enyinga, Hunga-
rian servant girl aged 20 years, came
to Proctor from New York and shot
a married countryman named Joseph
Farkasei Thursday. 1t is believed
that she also intended to kill her
little child and herself. Farkasei
has bullet in an unknown part of
his anatomy below the collar bone
and she is in the house of correction
pending the result of her murderous

ated in the shooting is said to date
from Hungary, where the two were

She found it impossible to fall asleep
again. She was nervous 1t must be
something in the atmosphere. She
tossed and tossed and founced and
tounced. She counted up to thou
sands. She made her mind blank
so often that she flew to thinking to
escape the emptiness of it. Still her
eyes were wide and her mind fairly
a-quiver with activity. She slipped
out of bed. She would tire herself
into sleep. She even dressed. She
would show herself II she must be a
midnight prowler, she would wear the
garments people affect when they
have their thoughts and energies on
matters mundane. Drawing the oil
stove close to the window fronting
the street, she sank into a chair, drew
a heavy shawl over her shoulders put
her feet on the tiny fender and pre-
pared to fatigue herself into oblivion.
A light shone from the window
across the way. He was still at work,
then. He ought not to sit up so late.
No wonder he was looking so worn
out lately. He ought to have some
one to look after him. He never
thought Of himself He never had
time. She would talk to him about
keeping such late hours-if she were
not going back to Gods country next
week. Only next week. 1t was too
good to be true-and yet she sighed.
But there was no other way. She
ought never to have come She was
not big enough. He, too, had told her
she was not the kind. Doubtless, he
knew. And she didn't belong to any
body here. She was glad she was 60
ing back to where she belonged to
somebody. She would never go away
again.
Was that Gordon passing back and
forth in front of the window? Some
thing must be troubling him. Was
1t because Jesse Black had escaped ?
But what glorious vindcation of his
belief in the mans guilt had that
afternoon been given! Nothing lacked
there. Why should he be sorry
Sometimes, she thought he might care
that day crossing the river for in
stance; but he was reserved-he
never said-and it was much, much
better that he did not care, now that
she was going away and would never
| come back. There was nothing in all
the world that could make her come

where she belonged to nobody. But

taken up office room in an empty shop

hotel.
