Morer.. FutlIe claim . Fame.

The Hudson-Fulton celebration re-
minds one OF how person may become
famous on the original work of another.
Fulton did not invent the propelling Of
boats by paddle wheels attached to the
sides Of the boat. That honor belongs to
Samuel Morey Of Oxford, y. n. Fulton
did not look with favor on the use Of
paddle wheels previous to 1903, and yet
he clqimed he was the first to demonstrate
its superior advantage. Morey had Nd
piled with success the two wheels, one N
each side, to his BordentoWn boat in
1897. No claim has ever been made that
Morey appropriated the invention OF 9th
ers. Chancellor Livingston, who finau-
ciered the Fulton boat "Cteremont, -
offered Morey seven thousand dollars for
the right to use his invention, hich was
prior 10 1897. Had Morev accepted his
offer, the celebration would be associated
with Morey's name, and not Fulton's 5.

There seems to have developed rather
curious situation i. regard to the govern
orship campaign. There is a very consid
cradle sentiment in favor Of State High
way Commissioner Charles w. Gates. but
even those who would like most to sup
port Mr.. Gates hesitate about urging him
to run because Of the great work he is do
ing for the state 10 his present capacity.
As state highway commissioner Mr.. Gates
is in sole charge Of the constantly grow
ing department of state road building,
which has control of the expenditure OF
toward two hundred thousand dollars a
year. In this department he is doing so
we'll and so much for the state that his
closest friends question whether he is not
earning more honor for himself and cred
il for the state than he could possibly
gain by becoming governor. Moreover,
Notwithstanding Mr.. Gates high charac-
ter, the minute he announces his oandi-
oacy for the governorship he Will be OBJ
liged to resign as highway commissioner
or expose himself to the charge OF travel
ing around the state in the interest OF his
candidacy at public expense, while osten-
sibly devoting himself entirely to road
building. Unquestiouably such q charge
would not be justified but 3 man of Mr..
Gates high ideals OF public service does
not willingly expose himself even to sus-
picion. Bennington Banner.

Some newspaper having suggested that
John w. Titoomb, who has lately re-
turned to Vermont from services in the
federal department Of fisheries. would
make a good successor to State Fish and
Game Commissioner II. G. Thomas. the
Montpelier Journal remarks
sit is neither necessary nor expedient
to make change. Probably there is no
more faithful, efficient, courteous public
servant in the employ OF the state than
Henry G. Thomas. He knows his bust
ness and he attends to il. He is thor
oughly interested in the protection of our
fish and game interests and in the stock
ing of our public waters. He is not a
politician spending his time in making
deals and combinations, but a man who
devOtes all his time to the duties for
which the state pays and Vermont gets
value received for the salary paid him. II
Vermont should be so unfortunate as to
be deprived of the services of the present
fish and game commissioner, il would be
fortunate il it could obtain Mr.. Titcomh
for the place, but as long as Henry G.
Thomas OF Stowe is willing to hold his
present position be should be kept there
fife fills the bill"
The town clerks and hunters who got
mixed up over the notary's fee in tbs
hunters license would net all agree witt
the Journal. They would say that pref
ty good time to make a change was Just
as soon as possible.

this week is an editorial from the Deseret
News OF Salt Lake City referring to the
formation Of a conference of the Mormon
church in Vermont. The News touch
ingly says that Utah has great love and
veneration for the state of Vermont, that
includes the birthplace of the martyred
prophet" This love and veneration has
been displayed by the erection at Sharon

Hunters License Law Full Of Holes.
The hunters license law, which was

comes the information that there is no
uniformity in the charge for fees for the
licenses, Attorney General Sargent stat
ing that some town clerks are charging
ten cents, some twenty-five cents, and

" unjust and liable to bring about q
