Tribute to Col. Estey.


'Well, Brattleboro gets left once in a
while. The people down that way have
not yet recovered from their surprise
over the defeat of Col. j. Gray Estey as
delegate to the national convention. =
Montpelier Argus.
The Messenger does not understand
that Colonel Estey was defeated. His
name was not presented to the conven-
ton. Moreover, the reason his name was
not presented was entirely unconnected
with any opposition to him personally
The only question at issue was whether
Windham county could justly ask for two
members on the delegation, and, as she
had been conceded one already before the
convention that was to pass upon Colonel
Estey's candidacy and had accepted that
one without regard to Colonel Estey's can.
didacy or in any sense as disclaimer OF
it. the withdrawal of his name from con-
sideration was deemed the expedient thing
to do. Anybody's else name would have
been withdrawn under the same circum.
stances. Perhaps the matter is too small
to require painstaking and circumstan-
tial explanation, but Col. j. Gray Estey
is too fine a specimen of Vermont man
hood and too useful citizen to be intro
duced to state political life under any. mis-
understanding, however unintentional.
Vermont may some day require service
of him in time of peace equivalent to the
scrifce he volunteered her in time OF war.

any defense whatsoever lie never asked

tenth part as efficient political worker

lieving that his official record might be
taken into consideration by his people in

been In the utter absence OF any proper
ground for criticism, only the most out.

statement that he is an ''anti-Rooseyelt'
man, and opposes some OF his policies
Well, what OF it! The accusation may

he is in absolute accord with scores ON

honor if it had the chance. Has 1t ar
rived at the point that eminent public
servants must be crucifed for venturing
to disagree with Roosevelt? Are all the
Roosevelt doctrines and dogmas SO sane
titled and sacred that every citizen must
sink his individuality and allow 1t TO
wither in the glazing light from the
throne or else be bounded as a hereto!
To say that such campaign methods are
puerile and shameful is too mild. They
are disgrace to all who profess federation

THE THOMPSON FUND.

One 81 the trustees Of the Thompson
fund issued last week statement intend
ell 20 explain the meaning Of the recent
decision Of the Massachusetts, supreme
court relating 10 the petition for further
instructions which the trustees filed and
10 which answer was made by counsel
representing the local bcneficiarics. The
Rcfonner was not favored with copy
Of this statement but the oversight does
not prevent il from commenting upon the
present status OF the fund in It's relation
TO Brattleboro. Without discussing Mr..
Bradley's verbose statement further than
10 say that, in our opinion, II is decidedly
ambiguous, we will pass on TO Judge Ham
mond's decision. After going over the
matter carefully the judge came to the
conclusion that there was no necessity
Of adding TO the decree OF 1901 by which
the income from the Thompson fund be
came available for use in Brattleboro. lie
did say, however, that should any further
questions arise in regard TO the admin
istration OF the trust they may be brought
TO the attention OF the court by any per-
son interested.
In considering this decree il is only far
10 take note of the statements Judge
Hammond made at one OF the iearings
before him, for while they are not mat
ter OF official record they do throw some
light on the attitude Of the court toward
the administration of this fund. Judge
Hammond said on at least one occasion
that he believed the claim that the fund
was being administers. on a somewhat
narrow basis had sorie reason. lie stated
further that the re OF the fund was IN
itself evidence tat the testator wished
the income 20 be used literally in accord
ance with the terms of the will, and he
did not hesitate to express the OPINION
that the trustees were attempting tech
meal rather than practical adminlstra-
ton. The fact that the Judge did not see
fit to alter the decree, therefore, cannot
fairly be construed to mean that he ap-
proves the methods the trustees have adj
opted. We believe it amounts to nothing
less than polite intimation to Messrs.
Minot and Bradley to broaden the scope
of their administration, and should any
further questions be brought before the
court for settlement we do not doubt
that the judges attitude will be express
ed in terms as unmistakable as those quot
ed above. In at least two places In his
statement Mr.. Bradley uses the word
"commonsense." If the trustees will make
generous use of this virtue there will be
an end to much trouble and misunder-

A Novel Idea.

It is free and deeply interests every
body who has aches or pains, or who is
weak and sickly. Anyone can learn the
surest and quickest means to get strong
and well by accepting that splendid free
offer of the great specialist in curing ner-
vous and chronic diseases, DR.. Greene,
of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass. He
has established system of letter cor.
respondence through which all sick and
suffering people can learn exactly what
ails them, and how to get we'll without
expense and without leaving their homes.
Ali they have to do is write to the Doctor,
stating each symptom from which they
are suffering, and he will answer their
letter, explaining their case thoroughly,
telling just what the trouble is and what
to do to be cured. He gives the greatest
care and attention to every letter, and
tells the cause of each symptom so plain
" that patients understand instantly just
what ails them. And all this costs moth
ing. 1t is splendid opportunity for
those who cannot afford the time or ex-
pense to 90 to the city. DR.. Greene makes
a specially of curing patients through
letter correspondence. He is the most
successful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, and is the discoyerer OF
that wonderful medicine, DR.. Greene's
Nevura blood and nerve remedy. Those
who write to him get cured.

What Washington County Wants.
(St. Johnsbury Caledonian.)

o
When the Brattleboro candidate with
drew his name in the recent republican
convention because Windham county
had already elected a delegate to
Chicago, this action was widely praised
afly because they felt that one county
was not entitled to more than its share
of political honors. But here in Wash
ington county with four candidates for
office, Senator, Congressman, Gov
enor and State Treasurer and the
papers of that county working overtime
to secure the nomination of Mr.. Plumley
and Mr.. Stanton. Why not have a
Washington county convention at
Montpelier and fill all the offices. But
seriously the situation is unparalleled in
Vermont politics and we do not believe
the people will stand for it.
