Vermont's New Senator.

Vermonts new senator, Ex-Governor
John w. Stewart whose appointment
by Governor Proctor is announced this
| week, will have the distinction of be-
ing the oldest member of the upper
branch of Congress, a place now held
by Senator Allison of Iowa since the
death of Senator Whyte of Maryland.
Ex-Governor Stewart was born
November "a, 1925, and is therefore
we'll along in his S3rd year making
him in all probability the oldest man
who ever entered the Senate. He is a
native of Vermont, Middlebury being
his native town, and in 1916 he
graduated from Middlebury College.
For almost so years he has been a
member of the Vermont bar and for a
full half century he has been active
in public affairs in the Green Mountain
State
His first office was that of proSecut-
ing attorney in 1852 and a few years
later he went to the Vermont legisla-
ture where he served many terms in
both branches, being speaker of the
house in 1865, 1856 and 1867 and again
in 1876 Over a third of a century ago,
in 1S7O-72 he served Vermont as its
governor and in 1883 he was elected to
Congress where he served four terms.
For the past decade or more he has
with his son at Colorado Springs
where Governor Proctor notified him
by telegraph of his appointment.
Governor Stewards appreciation of
the honor and his readiness to enter
upon his duties at Washington was in
Dictated by his prompt acceptance of
his appointment and his statement
that he will be in Washington within
four days ready for business. The late
Senator Proctor was one of the
veterans of Congress and was regarded
as a man well along in years, but it is
10 De HOteu tlldt MS successor Is SIX
years his senior in age. In the nature
of things it cannot be long before
another senator will have to be named
from Vermont and it is not at all i'm
possible that Governor Proctor himself
had this in mind when he appointed
the aged ex-governor to fill the
vacancy caused by his fathers death.

a Portland. Oregon, newspaper tells
Of sawed logs measuring 36 inches

These monarchs of the forest came

the work was completed the heaviest

There were those who, when the fleet
of battleShips was ordered away on its
long cruise belittled the IDEA and found
nothing of value in it. Today the carp
ing critic, whoever he may be, has no
listeners. The cruise already has
justified itself. for it is the greatest
argument for peace that could possibly
be made. The battleships will be well
coined by Japan. That fact shows to
the world that there is no danger of
strife between the United States and
the Empire of the Rising Sun. The
presence of these splendid ships will
demonstrate throughout the far east
that we have IA tremendous fighting
force-not on paper. but ready for
action at moments notice. The long
