Caustic Whistler.

Whlstler's caustic wit is shown by
the following anecdote:
"Of one who was held TO be Eng
lands most brilliant young artist. Yes
he said thoughtfully. he's clever. but
there's something common In every
thing he does. SO what's the use Of
tY"
Like many great men. he had but
little time for any but his own work
HE told me a story demonstrating this
most clearly. His "Nocturne In Blue
and Gold. Valparaiso" was In the I'LL
collection In Brighton. Mr. Hill had
two galleries and a well known collec-
ton. eventually sold at Christie's.
Whistler went down to see Mr.. Hill.
and said he:

OF course took a chair and sat looking
at my beautiful "Nocturne.- Then. as

Vermont Should Be Advertised

Vermont ShOuld BE AdVeruSed
l believe the resources of our
state are very great, not only III
our quarries and mines, but in
our undeveloped water powers
and our beautiful scenery, and
that it would be for the best in
terests of our state to have the
Board of Agriculture or some 9th
er equally suitable agent take all
means possible to advertise our
resources and attractions to those
residing elsewhere, with a view
of bringing them to Vermont
either as visitors or permanent
residents.
State expenditures should be
made with a judgment that be-
speak economy in every instance,
and by this l do not mean that
we should be penny wise and
pound foolish, but do wish to
convey to the minds OF all that
we should fit our garment to our
resources, keeping the state free
from debt and our people safely
placed above the necessity of a
direct state tax.
! can simply assure the citizens
of Vermont that if they should
see fit to elect me to the position
of governor | should work only
for the welfare and prosperity of
the state; that | have absolutely
no political debts to pay or agree
ments to carry out, and that /
shall be perfectly free to recon-
mend such policies as it seems to
me will be best for the welfare
and prosperity of our glorious

Official, Home and Business
Life of George II. Prouty.
Continued from reverse page.


method is unobtrusive and al
ways preferably unheralded and
unannonnced. Certain it is that
no appeal for help where help is
needed ever fails OF material re-
Spouse from him.
In his church relations, Mr..
Prouty is a regular attendant at
the First Congregational church
of Newport, and he has been the
largest single contributor to its
financial support for many years.
During about twenty-five years
he has been choirmaster at his
church, and the occasion is ex-
ceedingly rare when he is not
found in that place. He has
been known to make Saturday
night return from Boston or New
York, where business uncom-
pleted demanded that he go back
the following Monday, in order
that the choral service for Sun
day might not be impaired by his
absence. Mr.. Prouty is a thirty
second degree Mason, and his
membership in Masonic bodies is
with the local lodges so far as
they reach.
In the social life of Newport,
Mr.. Prouty and his most estina-
BILE wife have always been lead
ers. At their modernly appoint
ed residence, which was the
homestead of the late John A.
Prouty, Mr.. Prouty's father,
home-like welcome and generous
hospitality is always the rule.
Indeed, both Mr.. and Mrs. Prouty
are more contented in sharing
their possessions and pleasures
with their friends than in their
own personal enjoyment of them.
While their home is unblessed
by children, it is the resort of
hosts of friends who find therein
a home life pleasant to enjoy and
gratifying to share.
MIR. Prouty's Public Career
Mr.. Prouty first entered public
life as the representative from
Newport in the legislative session
of 1896. The circumstances of
his selection were such as to show
his home popularity to excellent
advantage. Previous to the NEIL
ton of his name two other candi-
dates within the Republican party
had made a good deal of Roadway
and it was late in the canvass
that certain friends secured from
Mr.. Prouty consent to make him
a candidate. At the same time
the Democrats of Newport think
ing that they could take profit
able advantage of three-corner-
ed contest in the other party, Sc
lected their strongest man, one
who was popular in both parties
as their candidate. The result
was Mr.. Prouty's easy election
over ali other contestants, and
that without making any person
al effort in his own behalf. In
the House of Representatives Mr..
Prouty was an effective member
of the important committee of
Ways and Means.
Mr.. Prouty's next public ser
vice was performed in the legis-
lature of 1904 as senator from
Orleans County. His nominal
ton and election to the Office
were accomplished with only such
unimportant opposition as the
minority party could offer in the
presidential year. As senator,
Mr.. Prouty served as chairman
of the joint standing committee
on Immigration and Industrial

these bills in effect became ell
acted into statute law.
Among the subjects to which
the bills introduced by Mr..
Prouty related may be mention
ed those of divorce, parole of
prisoners, electric railways, high
way taxes and their distribution,
seizure of illegal devices for fish
ing, licenses for nonresident
hunters of deer, prohibiting the
sale of fire arms to minors, regu-
lation of telegraph, telephone
lines and electric light lines, loans
of trust companies to their Of
fcers and directors, provision for
the weekly payment of wages by
corporations, and the regulation
of the speed of automobiles AID
their proper use of public high
ways. As regards the last nam.
ed measure which originated in
the House of Representatives,
Mr.. Prouty was virtually its spon-
sor in the Senate and actively in
terested himself in its passage.
This was the first real effective
legislation relating to the reguta-
ton of automobiles. From this
record it is to be concluded that
Mr.. Prouty was very active and
useful member of the 1904 SEN
ate, as i'll a large measure the
the elements of the bills he favor
ed are now considered as belong
ing to the most progressive legis-
lation of recent years.
For the nomination to the
Lieutenant overnorship in 1906
there were three candidates be-
fore the Republican state conven-
ton, the late John w. Merri-
field, of Newfane, twice Speaker
of the House, the Hon. George
F. Leland, of Springfield, and
Mr.. Prouty, the subject of this
sketch. The well-remembered
popularity of Mr.. Merriheld and
the widely extended business and
fraternal order friendships of Mr..
Leland, made the contest inter
esting if not uncertain, but Mr..
Prouty secured handsome tri-
umph with the same sort of 10y
atty of support that has marked
his election to the less important
offices previously held by him.
The state campaign of 1906 is of
too recent happening for needful
treatment in this writing. The
Shibboleth of proctor and
Prouty'' representing the coInbi-
nation of two of Vermont's young
and aggressive business men as
leaders under conditions involv-
ing an opposition peculiar in Yer
mont politics, awoke a response
that eliminated i'll a triumphant
election and the installation in
the two highest offices for the
first time in the states history
Of two men qualified as above
mentioned.
Mr.. Prouty's incumbency as
Lieutenant Governor has been
Enthusiastically active as guaged
by the usual conception of its
duties. AS presiding officer of the
Senate his action and influence
was invariably favorable to all
legislation designed to advance
every legitimate state interest,
and of which the final enactment
to so great an extent made the
legislative session of 1906 one
distinctively epoch marking.

has represented the State on
many occasions where the tests of
capacity have been exacting if
more honorary than admlnistra-

needless to say, the dignity and
traditions of Vermont and the
governors Office have been repre-
scented in accordance with the
best standards.

WANT HEARING MOVED
Strikers Attorney Seeks to Have
Hearing on centraps Application for
injunction Transferred to This City
Application for Removal Denied.

Special to Times Republican.
eOskaloosa, Sept 11.-When the hear
ing on the Iowa Centraps application
for an injunction against its striking
employees was called before H. w.
Gleason this afternoon, the attorney for
the strikers applied to the commits
sioner for permission to have the evil
dence heard in Marshalltown instead OF
Oskaloc ,a, arguing that it would be
impossible to bring the witnesses sub
poenaed to Oskaloosa because Of the
expense, the witnesses being laboring
men and unable to bear the burden.
The company's attorney objected to
this change, declaring that the COM
pany's witnesses could not appear in
Marshalltown without danger of v1o-
lence because Of the prejudice of strik-
ers and sympathizers.
The strikers attorney thereupon de-
clared he would not introduce any evil
dence until the question Of location OF
the hearing could be argued before
Judge Mcpherson, but Commissioners
Gleason ordered the hearing to pro-
ceed and the company began to intro
duce evidence.
