HOSPITAL WILL

REV. FATHER FARRELLY SECURES OPTION
ON HOSPITAL STOCK.
WILL DONATE TO MERCY SISTERS
Catholic PreIate Devotes 0'Connor Estate to
Denison Charity. Successful Conduct Of
Hospital Assured.

Rev. Father M. j. Farrelly acting
as trustee of the John O'Connor es-
tate. the bulk of which was left to
such charity as Father Farrelly
might select. has secured an option
on the stock owned by Mr.. and Mrs.
j. M. johnson and has also offered to
pay fifty cents on the dollar to the
other stockholders. Already more than
half the stockholders have accepted
this proposition and there seems to
be no question but that the deal will
go through.
The portion of the O'Connor estate
left to charity amounts to about
$4,000. The expenditure of this sum
rests entirely with Rev. Father Far
reilly and he is to be commended chat
he has decided to use the money for
Denison charity.
We understand that Father Farrell
ly intends to assume the indebtedness
amounting to $1,000. Mr.. and Mrs
johnson receive approximately So. QUO
for their interest and the other stock
holders will receive about $4,000. AS
this money was not subscribed with
the idea of an investment the stock
holders are glad to see their object
accomplished-the erection and opera
tion of a hospital-and at the same
time receive half of their money
back. Father Farrelly proposes to
turn the hospital over to the sisters
free from all debt and it is then be-
lieved that they can operate it success
fully. The deed will provide that
in case it ceases to be operated as a
hospital the property shall revert to
the city of Denison. 1t will be fur.

while others were sure they were
going to skate. However, turn to
the right and walk back on the other
side of the street soon brought all to
the Hotel Denison, where grand
banquet was spread in the magnificent
dining room.
Here again the same "colored
gentlemen" waited on the door and
served the ladies'. Plates had been
laid for forty-five and it was a
happy party who partook of the
nine course spread. The menu was
simply delicious and the service per-
feet. During the banquet, Mr.. Bar
borka played the harp and it GER
tainly did seem to aid digestion to
eat to such good music. After the
last course the ladies were escorted
back to the club room where the
feast of reason was to take place.

and supporters be had in generous de-
gree, and they put up q valiant fight, but
the advantage lay with Prouty from the
beginning. Other things being equal,
the poor man has but little chance
against the man OF means in . contest for
ONCE.
II Prouty gets the nomination, Yer
mont will have an alert and independent
governor, committed to q continuance OF
the Proctor policies. There is some dam
ger that, IN bis zeal, he may overdo the
business of regulating the corporations,
especially as he owes them nothing for
his prospective advancement, but to &C
complish anything he will require the CO.
operation OF the legislature, and our Yer
mont Legislators are apt to be conserva-
tive. The state does not desire to be run
by its corporations will not be-but
on the other hand 1t will hesitate to pass
beyond the bounds OF wise and needed
regulation for the public good.

PLUMLEY THE WINNER.

Hon. Frank Plumley has clear and
substantial lead In the contest for the
Congressional nomination in the Second
district, as indicated by the caucus re-
turns of last week. He claims a margin
OF about 65 votes over Haskins. The Has
apparently have but one hope left. That
is that, by trading Haskins votes, princi-
pally from windhsm county, for Prouty
votes from the north end they can pull
their man through by a narrow squeak.
1t is in the air that this will be attempted
at st. Johnsbury next week. The fact
that so many towns in windham county
elected the same set OF delegates 10 both
state and district conventions gives color
to it. But while the scheme must be
watched and safeguarded and headed OF
affect the result. The Plumley support is
sincere and earnest, not to mention that
Of Stanton, and not many votes can be
swerved by trades or dickers. Prouty
himself has nothing to gain by such .
step. He is probable winner rs it
stands. As governor he will want to en-
ter Office with the good will OF the people
behind him, respected, as he now is, as .
man of honor. His own section of the
state is strongly for Piumley and he cam
not afford to engage in any devious plot
ting in Haskins' behalf, even il he were
disposed. II PIumley were to be dickered
out of it Tuesday at St. Johnsbury, no.
body can say what the effect might be at
Montpelier Wednesday. The Plumley
men will be at both places, and wide
awake.
Plumley's success in the canvass is not
unexpected to those who have caug hit the
drift. The district simply believes that
he will be an improvement over Haskins,
and that the latter has held the seat long
enough for the record he has made, and
the future promise he contains.

Fosters easy and overwhelming tri-
umph in the First district must be at
tended with one regret-that in view OF
his manifest strength on that side he
pulled out of the senatorial fight. 1t ap-
pears as il he closed the door to his smbi-
ton needlessly. Nevertheless, it seemed
to all the proper step for him to take
when he took it. Fosters hold in his dis
trict is considerable OF a mystery on this
side OF the state, where little strength has
ever developed for him. That he is 10y
al, active, diligent representative, stand
ing above the average on his record of
service, nobody questions, but he is dis
trusted by politicians and voters, and
held to be shifty and unreliable as pub
lie servant. These failings would out
weigh all the possible virtues of most
men, but the First district, freely conced-
ing them, stands by him with surprising
unanimity. Over here we can't under
stand it.

TAFT AND SHERMAN.

The nomination Of William H. Taft by
the Republican party for the presidency
comes as the reward of special fitness, of
unusual preparation, and Of the favo- u .
predecessor whose wonderful strength
and popularity make him the complete
master of his party. Concerning Taft's
own great ability, nobody has raised seri-
Gus question. He will be a candidate
whom it will be pleasure for every loyal
Republican to serve, and in whose prob
able triumph the party may take just
pride. II he was not the first choice Of
all Republicans for the nomination at all
stages of the canvass, they are all for him
now, and he will receive their firm sup
port. He will, IL elected, carry on the
work begun by Roosevelt with a strong
and skilled hand, and it is even possible
that, with rather more tact and suavity
Of manner, he may proceed with less fric-
ton.
Sherman is New York Congressman,
OF wide experience in public affairs, who
might even assume the higher place, IL
called to it, without prospect of i'll re-
suits.
The platform represents truly the ad-
vsnced ideas of the party. Some of its
planks, placed alongside those OF eight
and twelve years ago, read very different,
but the fact is that on these questions Re
publicans today, most of them, are occu-
plying what was then the middle ground
between the two parties, and crowding
the Democracy quite of the boards.
The makeup of the ticket and the plat
fern promise a notable victory in
November, despite the best that the Dem
ocrats can do-and they can, as usual, be
relied upon to do their worst.

PRoUTY LEADS. AND WHY.

Once more organization, backed by the
necessary sinews OF war, wins. Prouty
leads Stanton in the governor
ship contest, though the margin is not
great.
The Newport man entered the field first
and had it well plowed before Stanton
came in at all. Practical politicians
managed his campaign. There was no
part. Stanton did the best he could, des-
titute as he was Of the means to wage an
effective campaign, and his showing,
when considered, is quite remarkable. He
gave Prouty very bad scare, after it
looked like an easy thing. Only redou-
bled energy prevented q complete rout.
To the reasons given by the Benning.
ton Banner elsewhere for Prouty's sue
cess, we would add another--he had mon
ey to use, while Stanton had none. Now
this is not thrown out o. an aspersion to
Mr.. Prouty, who is an honest, clean
handed man, who would not use dollar
Improperly to further his chances, how
ever anxious he might be. But the fact
remains that money, in some measure, 10
IN. absolute necessity in such . contest,
IL used only in ways that are legitimate.
Prouty had II, and it msds his machine,
and it made It 60; Stanton didn't havs Il;
ergo. no machine, and no 60. Friends

Barre tried to come the same flop that
it carried through in 1900-going back
on its own county candidates, out of
sheer obstinacy, apparently-but the ma
jority said no. 1t was pretty evident that
the move to carry the caucus for Proctor
was a shifty scheme to beat out Stanton
and throw the vote to Prouty. And the
"uninstructed" district ticket meant q
bolt from Plumley, without the courage
to call it such. Had it succeeded, Barre
would have been in pretty plight politi-
caIly-a Congressman named from it's
own county that it had twice repudiated
in favor of an outsider.

Nolan looks like winner on that side.

seems to have swept the east side against
that sides own candidate, Williams, Of

will be renominated, and A. B. Bicknell
Of Tunbridge may be his colleague,
though there is some chance that Lathrop
may go back for another term. Stanton
carried Orange county except Newbury
and STAFFORD, and Plumley gets all the
county except Washington, STAFFORD and
one vote in Vershire.

THE TRUE REMEDY.

The article from the Rutland Herald on
how to cut state expenses, republished on
this page, contains several sensible sug-
gestions. Its final conclusion-tbat no
real reform can come until honest men,
more intent on giving Vermont their best
service than in drawing their stipend, are
placed in office-is its wisest and best
one. The number of such men is rela-
lively small, and they are not commonly
crow ding about the public crib, while the
other kind, always numerous and ever
importunate, generally elbow them aside.
Why? Because the voters themselves
don't use the same kind OF judgment that
they exercise in securing trusted en-
pioyes in their own business. II a man
were TO build a house. he wouldn't hire
mason or carpenter because he had q
pleasing presence, could talk well, need
ed work. or even because be had done
the builder some service in the past. He
would get the man v no could sling NOR
tar and swing the hammer best, wages
considered.
Here's where republican government
falls down. We "honor" men by elect
ing them to Office, and we DO 1t because
we like them personally more than for
any other reason. Isn't that so? Honor,
and not service, is the chief considers-
ton. The elected one feels the honor
more than he does the call to duty, and
his chief effort Is to continue that pleas
ing impression that has served him so
we'll. Accordingly, be hesitates to refuse
or offend his friends when they expect or
ask things OF him that be questions the
strict propriety OF, and lets things drift
on that should be corrected, lest he make
trouble for himself.
Here is where the Office holder errs.
The people do follow their personal likes
and disiikes in the selection Of officers,
but once chosen they expect them to
make good. They are Disguised with
truckers and time servers. They want
honesty and competency, though they go
about II wrong end first at the outset.
Consequently, their chief employment lie
putting out men who have failed, and re-
peating the process OF putting in men
whom they like better, not on their mer-
its, but their personality.
Take the case of Roosevelt. For years
he had the hardest kind of a struggle in
securing q start in public life. Always
honest, efficient and courageous, be
lscked-snd still lacks-a pleasing per-
sonality. 1t was only by q chain OF for
tuitous circumstances that he rose to the
presidency. But once there he had q
chance to show the stun he was made of
and the people said, "Ah, here is the
kind of man we are looking for. He does
things that ought to be done; well back
him, regardless OF his pecuiiarities of
speech and manner II is 80 with Gov
ernor Hughes, with Governor Folk and
Governor johnson.
How much better il would be, though,
il, instead Of starting men in public life
because they look nice. or talk nice, or
act nice, the people would choose them
because they were especially fitted for the
work in hand. How many more sue
cesses; how many less failures; how
much general improvement, there would
be.

PRESS NOTES.


The result of the caucuses in this state
which insures the nomination OF George
n. Prouty of Newport for governor and
Frank PIumley of Mortified Congress in
the Second district and the denomination
of ID. J. Foster In this district was about
what the close observers, not bound up
BY any extreme personal interest, expect
II Is now in order to attempt to explain
why thus was SO and. in the opinion OF
the Banner, the reasons are easy TO ind
The present administration has been
very popular in Vermont and Candidate
Prouty's strongest card has been his oft
repeated promise to carry on the policies
of the Proctor administration. Naturally
be had the sympathy and support Of Gov
ernor Proctor and his friends and this
did not hurt Mr.. Prouty. Then, too,
Mr.. Prouty il a hustler and had his cam
paign well organized and his friends
working while Mr.. Stanton's canvass
drifted along in a haphazard fashion
which is m out-of-dste method OF cam
paigning. We do not believe that Mr..
Prouty's attacks on Stanton profted him
q vote. as be never proved that part OF has
contention.
Mr.. Haskins, in our opinion, owes his
Qtltdl W nAc hi-tlt1ra aAa
remarks about the president. II appears
that he supported the administration
while in Washington, but at home he
was very free in critIcising the president
on all occasions. Haskins gave PIumley
a close fight and it would have taken but
few more votes to have re-nosninsted
him.
In this district. Fosters success was a
foregone conclusion. The only place
where his opponents were strong was In
the newspapers over m the other district.
Mr.. Foster could have won even bad be
remained in the senatorial contest, but
his Withdrawal from that took away
about the only effective argument against
him. He has credifably represented the
district and il a bard worker in behalf OF
his constituents, Is supporter OF the ad-
ministration and, while his opponents
were fine, clean and able men, there was
nothing to gain from promoting them at
the expense of Mr.. Foster.
