NEW ENGLAND'S PRESTIGE IN THE
u, 8, SENATE

The current issue OF the National
ticle on United States Senator Calm
ger OF New Hampshire in the course
Of which this passage Is to be found:
"TAe power OF New England In the
national Senate is q theme Of congrat-
ulation at home. and sometimes OF
envy from other sections Of the coun-
try. That this frank and loyal recog-
milton OF great services ana long con-
tinuance in office have been tho part
OF wisdom. no thoughtful man in New
England ever questions. To re-eIect a
senator. tried. approved experienced,
| sngncious. powerful. Is n patriotic duty
az New England understands IL, and
the surest practical way TO maintain
mistaken that prestige which New
England has held for moro than 100
years in tho upper branch OF tho nat
ional legislature
The people Of Vermont can appreciate
these sentiments. for herein Is to be
found the key to the policy which has
characterized this States selection Of
United States senators Vermont ma,
elected to the upper branch of Con-
gress men who would shed lustre on
the fair name % the Green Mountain
State ana has kept them In once until
death or voluntary retirement put an
end to their service In that body. In
carrying out this policy Vermont has
helped to maintain the prestige OF
New England. and she Will continue
to DO so.
To the present Legislature will fall
the unusual duty OF elocting two Uni.

IIoUoR LICENSES AND ASSISTANT
Judges.

There can be no doubt regarding the
obligation of tho present Legislature
TO disassociate the duty Of dealing
with nquor license matters from the
courts. The appointment of license
commissioners was vested in the as
si.tant Judges in the different counties
with tho idea OF removing the saloon
az far as possible from politics. I'm
der the law az It formerly existed the
election OF aldermen In cities and Sc
lectmen in towns turned In not a few
instances on deals with reference &c
licenses to soil liquor. and tho crying
demand for relief from those condi-
tions resulted In tho change to the
present system.
It has been discovered that the Sc
lection Of license commissioners now
figures TO certain extent in the cleo
ton O; assistant Judges In certain
counties and the demand for remedy
led tho last state republican conven'
ZION TO lUCOTpOThio III us pIoiih
pledge TO relieve the courts of this in
cubus.
The majority IN the present Legis
lature, therefore. stands pledged e
some measure of relief In this connec
ton and the only question is what tn
change Will be. Few Nermonters wi!
care to see return to the time whey
liquor deals dominated in the selection
of aldermen and seiectmen IN certain
towns. and tho alternative would
seem to be state excise commission
which has proved 20 be so successful
and satisfactory in New IIamphire
This change was recommended by Gov
ernor Proctor and 20 far It seems u
OFFER the only solution of the problem
that promises to be satisfactory 70
majority OF our people.

time as senior United States senator,
the people of Vermont will honor
themselves.
The duty of electing n United states
senator to servo during tho remaining
two years OF Senator Proctors unex-
pired term also devolves on tho pres
ent Legislature, Governor Fletcher -.
Proctor appointed Ex-Governor John
w. Stewart senator to hll the vacancy
until the position should be filled by
the Legislature and It is but just to
say that few men could have been
found qualified to step into the breach.
Senator Stewards service IN the House
and acquaintance with public men en-
abled him to take up the work in an
easy and efficient manner and he has
shown a degree OF zeal that would not
be expected ordinarily from one OF his
years, and when he retires he will do
80 rich In honors as we'll as in the
iaurels of efficient service
Present Indications are that to Hon.
Carroll s. Page OF Hyde Park will fall
the honor OF election to complete Sem
ator Proctor's unexpircd term. Gov
ernor Page Is we'll and thoroughly
known by the people of Vermont who
have already elected him TO the chief
office within their gift. He Is an ng-
gressive business man. quick to see
and improve every opportunity to pro-
| mote the interests of Vermont and her
people. and he will be found among
the most active and Woodworking OF
| New England's senators. among whom
he Is certain to win an enviable posi-
tion.

STATE BOARD OF FORESTRY.

The Hitchcocl, forestry bill provides
for State board OF forestry consist
ing OF tho Governor, the directors OF
the Vermont agricultural experiment
station. and tho secretary OF the
board Of agriculture. ex-oMcio, and
two citizens OF the State. known to be
interested in the advancement OF for
estry to be appointed by the Governor
Tho members are 10 receive no COM
pensation but are 10 be paid their
actual necessary expenses incurred in
the performance Of duty. Tho board
- also authorized to appoint a State
forester who Is given quite full pow
ers in the regulation and development
Of forests within tho State.
In glancinE over the powers given
70 the expert forester nothing is noted
for criticism but Legislators should
carefully consider tho makeup OF the
State board OF forestry. As proposed
wouldn't that body contain some mem
DeVb, ex-oHIclO, tnut WDu.0 Do OF lIttle

would seem no and that body would
also be rather unw!cldy. Only two mem.
bsrs especially interested in forestry
are provided and the necessity OF the
ether Is not plain.
II would seem advisable before nc,
ton is taken on this bill that the sub.
ject OF recognizing the agriculture
work OF the State be considered. We
have at present a board OF agricul
ture, a cattle commissioner and n for
estry commissioner. all three agricul
tural interests and each ono requiring
the work of an expert to make II o
proper efficiency. A commissioner o
agriculture who should give all hi
time to the work, empowered to en-
gage the necessary experts for eac.

Our UNITED STATES SENATORS.

The people rule. in Vermont at
least. This was demonstrated Tues E
day when the vote OF tho two houses
was taken for two United States sena-
tors from vermont. Sen. w. p. Dill
bingham received $50 OF the 2ss votes
cast and Carroll s. Pago 22V of the
26s votes cast, These results were IN
about the same proportion that a pop
ular election Of United States scna-
tors would have been and SO tho re-
suit may safely bo announced rs the
verdict OF the people The results are
also very crcdltable 10 Vermont as Il
STATE because II ensures n strong rep
resentation in tho upper branch Of
Congress.
In Sen. W. p. Dillingham; Vermont re-
turns to the senate tho strongest and
best equipped citizen 1t has for the
honored position. Sen. w. p. Dillins-
ham was strong man when he en-
tered the Senate and by diligent study
and absolutely honest service he has
enjoyed n steady growth in ability and
in the confidence OF tho public and his
| associates, No other man in the ma
| ton is better Informed in the prob
lens of Immigration than he and he
can be safely relied upon TO give his
country the advantage of this know
ledge IN the legislation he will advo-
| cate. OF stu greater potency
for good will be tho honesty and spirit
| of fairness of senator Dillingham; IN
| dealing with the serious questions
| which face tho people. His re-elec-
| ton means six more years OF effective
work in the interest Of good govern
| ment.
| The election ~ Carroll s. Page to
tho United States Senate is the full
| fllment Of a desire that has existed
| IN the hearts Of his friends for many
years. 1t was his and their ambition
to place him IN line for this place
years ago when he was a candidate
for congressman. In that contest he
was defeated but ne accepted the re-
suit cheerfully and awaited tho OPP
| portunity he felt sure would come

governor was Of such high order tina,
