Senator Proctor's most admirable trait,
and the one that will longest survive in
memory, was his natural humanness.
He crayed and returned the good will of
his fellow men. He counted its posses
sion priceless treasure.
Vermont honored Senator Proctor, but
it was fully earned. He served his state
with distinction, and by that service
brought credit to the state, among the
states of the nation. He was an indie
fatigable worker, fertile in resource, keen
in insight, accomplishing much. As
governor, secretary of war and senator,
his record left nothing calling for apology.
but much to regard with pride. As
soldier, civilian and states
man, be served with signal ability
his country, his state, his COM
munity. Among his personal traits,
he possessed that fund of dry humor and
the faculty of seeing and seizing the real
fun of life that made him almost Lincoln
esque among his contemporaries.
Senator Proctor's generous nature
found outlet in many ways that made
him both private and public benefactor.
His gift of the Pittsford tuberculosis
sanatorium was but the greatest of a
long list of philanthropies. His father
ly pride in his children and their
achievements touched chord that makes
all humanity kin.
1t was long life, but so full OF good
works that its cutting off seemed almost
untimely after all. His loss will be more
keenly felt than would that of many a
younger man occupying his high station.
There are good men left, but Vermont
must necessarily suffer in prestige
through the removal of her most notable
representative from the nations councils.

About all the difference between the
st. Adams Messenger and this paper on
the Taft-Hughes issue is that the Mes
senger favors Taft on account of its con-
ception of his superior fitness for the pres
idency, and doesn't want to see his case
prejudiced because Roosevelt is rushing
him. This paper considers Hughes the
better choice, as the equal of Taft in fitness
as stronger candidate, and because it
thinks such a man, unsolicited by the
present White House occupant, would
enter the contest, or the presidency, If
chosen, with promise Of higher achieve
ment than Taft, whom it's impossible
to disassociate from his chief. Both OF
us concede the strength of both men, and
probably the first choice of one is the
second choice of the other.

Was a Mistake Made 2

Not q few think a mistake was made in
the early part Of February when. the
difference between the manufacturers
and the granite cutters was not referred
to the "peace committee" agreed on by
both sides long ago for such an emer-
gency. Until the end, each side seemed
to be hopeful OF settlement. When the
matter was suggested some weeks ago,
the manufacturers believed settlement
likely, while the cutters appeared to be
equally hopeful, but no agreement was
reached and the men went out, while
Quincy, which is the biggest rival Of
Barre granite, took long headed view
of the situation and referred their disa-
greement to the National committees.
Now Quincy is advertising the fact and
bidding for work on that point. Un-
doubleday, she will be able to divert
many of the orders for Barre granite,
although we have no doubt that dealers
who want Barre granite very much will
wait until the trouble is settled. How
long the strike will last is a matter of
conjecture. The city of Barre, whose life
depends on the granite industry, is fiat.
Montpelier has a more varied list of
manufactures and will not feel it SO
keenly, yet when it is considered that
the payrolls of the men employed here
in the granite industry amounted to
$1,000 week, and that its workmen
were among the best paid in the city,
it proves how materially the prosperity
of the city is interested in q just,
equitable and early settlement.-Mont-
pelier Argus.

From a Ha.kin. Newspaper.

Congressman Haskins is not receiving
a whole lot of compliments from the
Vermont press on his speech recently
made before the Vermont Veterans
association of Boston, in which he took
occasion, according to the published re-
ports, to again rub Il into President
Roosevelt and his administration. The
mugwump Rutland Herald is the only
paper in the state, so far as we have no
ticed, which praises the congressman's
attitude. One would think that re-
peated experiences would have convinced
the genial colonel that Vermont is in
tensely loyal to Roosevelt and what he
stands for, and that it was good politics
at least not to give too frequent express
sions to his personal opinion OF the
present encumbent of the White
House.-Beilows Falls Times.

PRESS NOTES
Vermont Has a Member.

In the newly organized Sponsors
society, Vermont will have one member,
Miss Jennie Bell, who christened the
battleship Vermont. This society will
be very exclusive, and its membership
will be composed of the young ladies who
have christened our navy. The plan is
to make membership also hereditary, the
honor passing to the oldest daughter, or,
falling that, to the oldest granddaughter
of the original sponsor. Most of the
members have an eye on the future with

While opposed to giving the Vermont
delegation to Chicago cast-iron in
structions as to whom they should sup
port for the presidential nomination, we
think it would be eminently fair, both to
the party and the delegates, if the conven-
ton should go on record in some way to
determine its preference-first and second
choice. Then the delegates would not be
entirely at sea in their action.

The farmers, as rule, give more atten-
ton to town meeting and town business
than do the merchants and professional
men of the villages, even when the
meetings are held there. The farmers
leave their homes and put in all day at

apt to be more interested in waiting on
their clients, patients and customers than
in the affairs of the town.

ance to this section of the United
States. The Department of Agricul-
ture is anxious to render every SerV-
ice it can in this connection. The
work which the Department can do
must be determined by preliminary
survey of the situation, to be made
beginning July l, 1908. A great deal
of land of this character on the Coast
has already been put into cultivation.
In addition, a great deal of expert
ence has been acquired in removing
stumps in connection with railway and
road construction. The object of the
preliminary investigation is to get to-
gether all the information now in the
hands of parties who have had expe-
rience in work of this kind on the
Coast. For this purpose, we are anX.
ious to get in touch with railroad con-
tractors, road builders, farmers and
others who have had experience in
clearing land. We desire also to col
lect- data concerning the total acreage
of land west of the Cascade Noun
tains, the acreage of this land still
in merchantable timber, the acreage
logged off and the acreage in Guilt
walton. Also, we desire information
concerning the proportion of logged
off land which is suitable for agri.
culture, and we invite the co-opera-
ton of all who have information of
this character, in order that the re-
suits of the preliminary investigation
when published shall be of the great
est possible value in connection with
the further agricultural development
of the Coast country.
We hope the preliminary investi-
cation will permit definite conclu-
sions concerning the cost of putting
logged-off land into cultivation and the
best methods of use in this work. If
we are unable to find enough informa.
ton in the hands of those who have
had experience in this work we may
then undertake some experiments in
order to secure definite figures con-
corning the cost of those methods
