evening was brilliant one and list
OF those present would read like
Who's Who in Vermont"
1t looks now as though Harland B.
Howe of St. Johnsbury would be the
democratic leader of the house. He
was appointed as one of the committee
to escort the newly elected speaker to
the chair.
Many Of the Orleans county mem
oers are CHARTERED at the Riverside
during the session.
Before the session is over we will
see that Orleans county will play
leading part in the senate.
The first speech of the session was
made by John L. Bacon of White River
junction, urging the adoption of a
resolution providing for stenographer
to assist the clerk.
Representative Edgerton of Roches-
ter had the distinction of drawing the
first seat.
Senator John L. Lewis of TROY
| escorted the retiring governor to the
chair in the joint assembly. His re-
marks and bearing were of the true
John Lewis order. Senator Gross of
Bloomington too is perfectly at home
| here, having made himself popular
| two years ago.
The senators and representatives all
readily agree that it is the most able
| house and senate ever called together
in Vermont.
There were five seekers for the PRIV
1lege Of praying for the house but
there are many more seeking for a
chance to prey upon the house
The total assessed valuation of
taxable property in Vermont is $780,
100000 and this includes personal
property to the extent of $40, 900, OOc,
vast timber lands, valuable granite and
marble quarries and millions of dollars
worth of farm lands. There is out
standing fire insurance in the state to-
day of more than $7S, 900, 900 on build
! ings and personal property alone.
Considering that Vermont's wealth is
| largely due to land values, there would
seem to be some truth in Gov.
Prouty's statement that somebody is
evading taxes. Who can it be? Is it
the poor man?
Mr.. Jeffreys of East Burke is here
preparing his biennial album of the
state government and again the MEM
Ders are willing to admit that it will
show the best looking body of men
ever gathered together.
Representatives E. D. Allyn of
Charleston, Ben Williams of Morgan
and / A. Wilson of Westmore spent part
OF the week end vacation at Barre. tax

Westfield spent Sunday at Waterbury.
Board is $500 per week and up with
nothing less. The. ultra fashionable
are staying at the Pavilion at rates
from $500 per day to as high as the
pocketbook permits. The Montpelier
house seems to be headquarters for
most of the legislators and gives good
service and good meals at reason

The message closed with the follow
ing words: To be chosen by the free
men of Vermont to here represent
them is indeed an honor. Vermont's
truest and wisest sons have preceded
you in these halls. Remember that
you represent constituency unex-
celled for good sense. high ideals and
sturdy patriotism. Your opportunity
and your duty are alike great. To
meet them as your constituents have a
right to expect, you must bring to
the performance of every duty your
best thought, your utmost effort. This
assured and Vermont will continue to
move forward and be the better be-
cause of your service here.
Gov. Prouty's message was consid-
cred strong one and recommended
the following:

Offsets.
Re-adoption of Referee System.
District Courts of Appeal.
Employers Liability Act.
Scope of Railroad Commission En-
larged.

The closing sentence of Gov. Proc
tors message had the following good
advice to the legislators at Montpe-
lier convened;
Both the state and your town are
entitled to your service during the
entire session and if by your absence
you fail to render such service, you
are withholding what is rightfully
their due. The work for the session is
before you and on you is laid the duty
of its faithful performance. Your
motto should be, For the Public Good
Only this before you, have
no doubt as to the result.

Forget Business for While and Enjoy

The members of the local BARRIERS

the mon-union BARRIERS were the
guests. The occasion was a sort of
''open house" affair for the purpose
of getting together and getting better

largest social ever held by the local.
In point of interest and enthusiasm
it was long to be remembered. 1t was
especially pleasing to the local to see
number of the non-union BARRIERS
present in response to the invitation,
and nothing was left undone to make
these visitors feel at home. Presi-

order after the local had transacted
a little routine business behind closed
doors, and from that moment until
midnight there was something doing
all the time.
Several of the employing BARRIERS
made brief addresses, among them
being Messrs. Green. Leopold, Bartle-

WHAT IS A "RAT?"
A Few Words About the Most De

A Few Words About the Most De-
spicabIe Form Of Genus Rodent.
Men and women engaged in the
printig trades have pet name for
the soulless individual who is low
enough and mean enough to profit by
the sacrifices and toll of his fellows.
Other tradesmen call this class
''scabs." but printing tradesmen cali
them ''rats." The village of Hamelin,
in country Of Europe, was once in
tested with a plague of rats, and the
plague was unstayed until the famous
Pied Piper appeared on the scene and
offered to get rid OF the rodents If
paid certain sum. The village
burghers agreed, and the Pied Piper
tuned up his pipes. The rodents fol-
lowed him until he led them into a
hole in the mountain, which closed be-
hind them forever Then the Pied
Piper demanded his money. Then it
was the burghers showed that too
long association with rats had made
them as crooked as the modern ro-
dents OF the printing trades. Having
been rid of the rats, they refused to
pay up. Thereupon the Pied Piper
again tuned up his pipes, and this
time he led the children Of the village
into the same hole in the ntain,
and from that day to this neither piper
nor children have been SEEN

ton for the term rat" which print

STONE CAPTURED.
Reereant Official of Leatherworkers'

Reereant Official of LeatherWorkers'
Union Found in Utah.
Joseph J. Stone, charged with hav-
ing embezzled the funds of the local
union of Leatherworkers on Horse
Goods while financial secretary of that
body, was located and arrested in
Utah several days ago. On Tuesday
George Bush, acting for the local.
swore out complaint charging Stone
with the crime, and an officer started
at once for Salt Lake City to bring
him back.
Stone suddenly disappeared from
Lincoln some six or eight months ago,
and an examination of his books
showed him to be short over $780,
The local union, however, was none
the loser, Stone having been bonded.
The bonding company Immediately
made good the shortage and set it's
detectives on Stones trail. His pho
tograph was published in the official
organ and few days ago he was To-
Gated at Salt Lake City. When Stone
left Lincoln he left his wife and an
infant daughter and it was reported
that domestic trouble was the cause
of his fight. This was denied by
Mrs. Stone, who said that her hus-
band had made one or two unfortun-
ate investments, using the funds of
the union temporarily, and when set
Element time came he fed rather than
face the music. 1t is not known
whether she is with him or with her
folks at Tecumseh. She left Lincoln
month of SO after Stone disap-
peared.
The complaint was lodged agains:
Stone by the local union, but at the
instance of the bonding company, and
the local, although the loss has been
made good, will prosecute.
