An Appeal for the Y. M. c. A.

Elsewhere in this issue is an appeal for
the st. Iohnsbury Y Nj. c. A. which we
trust will meet with a ready response
from our local readers. This institution
has demonstrated what it can do to help
our young men along their threefold de-
velopment, physical, intellectual and
spiritual. But this work cannot be done
without the financial support OF the peo-
pie of st. Johnsbury and we have enough
confidence in our townspeopIe to believe
that they will respond to the call. There
is no doubt but what our new Jail is a
fine building, but we take more pride in
the Y. M. {. A. building and want our
boys in the latter place rather than the
former. The hearty endorsement which
Judge Lindsey gave the Y. NJ. c. A. in
their work for boys shows what this
keen observer Of juvenile development
thinks OF such worthy institution. If
everybody will do their share the spIen-
did work which is being done here will
not have to suffer retrenchment.

After three weeks illness Harry Hill
bard May died at his home in Concor,
on tuesday morning, April 6. He wa
born in the same town May 20, 1S48, t.
Preston and Sophia (Grout) May. H
was one of six sons, Dan, Marcus, Elisha
Dennis, Harry and Frank, of whom ONLY
one is now living, Elisha of St. Johns
bury. His early life was spent at Con
cord, where he taught several successful
terms of school at the Castle school ant
in the Brook district. He early showed
a remarkable interest in vocal music and
used every opportunity to cultivate his
voice, baritone of marvellous power
compass and quality, and soon became
locally prominent as vocalist and sing
ing school teacher.
In 1873 he moved to st. Tohnsbury
and for many years was employed by E.
q I. Fairbanks & Co. For 21 years
he was chorister of the South Con
gregational church and made many
friends while in that position. He was
instructor OF music in the ST. Johnsbury
public schools for five years. He studied
music under competent teachers in Bos-
ton and in his work had been intimately
associated and honored with the friend
ship of such distinguished vocalists and
leaders as the late Prof. B. F. Xix, Prot.
II. q. Blaisdell, Charles Conant, n P.
Dodge and Martha Dana Shepard.
In August, 1877, he married Miss
Marietta Cushman Of L'Orignal, Que.
Two children were born to them, Walter
Milton, a graduate of Dartmouth Col
lege, and now principal of the high school
at West Lebanon, n H., and Celia
Harrington, who died ininfancy. After
years of loving helpful service to him,
Mrs. May died in 1896. May IS, 1898,
he married Miss Maude A. Stacy of Con
cord. They have one child, Viola Stacy
May.
Mr.. May was man of great VITALITY
and at the age of nearly 81 years was
singing with the fire and spirit that was
ever characteristic of his work. He had
long been familiar with all the oratorios
and to him they were never ending
source OF inspiration and study, and in |
many OF them he had appeared as soloist
IN Concord and Manchester, N. H., Bur
lington, st. Johnsbury, Sherbrooke, Que,
and Malone, N. Y. For nearly a year he
supplied church position in the South
church of Concord, N. H., and was the
leading baritone in northern Vermont
and New Hampshire. In the last ten
years he had appeared on programs
with such New York and Boston artists
as as DR.. Carl Duff, DR.. Ion Jackson, Julian
Walker Charles Towne, Heinrich Meyn,
Frederick Martin, Henry Gorrell, ]. Henry
Mckinley, Anita Rio, Miss Marcia
Crafts, Madam Keleski and others.

Saving the BOYS.

The people of St. Johnsbury and Lyn.
donville had the privilege last week Of
hearing Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver
tell how his juvenile court, which is fam
Gus from ocean to ocean, is ruled by love
rather than by fear, and how even the
most desperate criminals can be trusted
when put upon their honor and not treat
ed worse than brute by officers and
iailors. His record of committing 5O7
criminals to state institutions without
any officer accompanying the offender is
unparalleled and speaks volumes as to
the efficacy of sympathy and charity
that s,tfereth long and is kind.
Vermont is making progress in hand
ling juvenile offenders and under the tact
full guidance of Supt. Bars the industrial
school at Vergennes is doing wonders
for the boys. But we must begin at the
other end and establish juvenile courts
and contributory negligence law such
as exists today in the state of Colorado.
Public sentiment must be awakened to
the needs of the state and when the bill
gets into the next Legislature, as we
hope it will, and the solons begin to talk
about the expense of such a court, they
must be told, as Judge Lindsey told us
last week, that boys are worth more
than bicycles. Good roads, protection
of fish and game and a public service
commission are highly desirable, but
Vermont's chief crop is her men and any
thing the state can do to save the boys
will save the men that are to be.

PRESS COMMENT.
Vermont's Ex-Governors.

And our IA ex-governors of Vermont
for the most part, are in an excellent
state of preservation. There was Gov
Holbrook of Brattleboro, who celebrat
ed his Goth birthday the other day
Down in Windsor county, Hartford has
just elected town clerk for about the
| 50th year, and that town clerk is Samuel
Z. Pingree, an ex-governor, good for
years to come Then there was ex-Gov.
John W. Stewart of Middlebury, govern
or way back in the '70s, who as the old
est man in the United States Senate
showed remarkably active intellect as
well as body.
Gov Page is just in the United States
Senate, and has force around him tired
out with letter dictation. John L. Bar
stow keeps in close touch with events,
and is always alert to send in a com
munication about public affairs when
they are going wrong. Then there is
Vermont's senior senator in the highest
branch of the national legislative BODY
who at 65 or so looks as though he
might have taken his bar examinations
hive or six years ago. There is Gov. U.
A. Woodbury. of Burlington, who has
been galavanting around with the YER
mont party at the Inauguration and who
runs hotel and other things for exercise
when he is at home. There is E. C.
Smith of st. Adams, who could probably
don Yale sweater and put up a good
game OF base ball today that would not
disgrace the college. Then there is John
). Mccullough of Bennington, who never
misses directors meeting of the Nation
al lite. and who the other day was eating
with lot of college alumni in New York
'ity and making them laugh with his
Nittclsms and observations. w. w. |
Stickney of Ludlow is another who was
asst heard from as putting up a sharp
light for judgeship.
VI course the last two are naturally |
still in the game. They say Gov. Bell

Getting Together.

Hon. Charles W. Gates, the state high
way commissioner, has started on &
novel and highly profitable campaign tc
secure the cooperation of the farmers
and automobiles throughout the state
in getting good roads in Vermont. In
the past has been about as difficult to
get farmer and an automobile owner
into the same camp as it would be to get
Chinese coolie and a union labor man
to work together on the Pacific coast.
But Commissioner Gates has met the
automobile owners of Orleans and
Caledonia counties, at Newport and St.
Johnsbury, found them all good fellows,
and all ready to cooperate with the farm
or in the good roads movement. Not
all the automobile owners believe in the
justice of the new law, but all Mr.. Gates
asks of them is to give it fair trial and
all of them are willing to do that And
in both these counties Mr.. Gates told the
road commissioners that if they wanted
the money from the automobile licenses
they must make good roads in order to
secure it. And he told the farmers pres
ent, and he himself is one, that they
must not think the automobile owners
had no rights on the highway and that
they must practice the golden rule 1t is
Mr. Gates tourooca RI ,,,aat tba o,+o,,,o
bile owners all over the state, explain to
them the new law and secure their COOP
Grafton in the work he is so successfully
accomplishing in improving our high
ways. 1t is an educational campaign
which will be of lasting benefit to all
concerned, and that means all of us as
there isn't a man in the state that is not
benefited by good roads.

ate bills, and their labors are most
strenuous. Of course the only ground
tor agreement is for each house to recede
from certain of its amendments. 1t is
entirely matter of bargaining and
Jockeylng. AS an illustration, the House
committee agrees to allow a certain
Senate amendment to prevail, in return
tor which the Senate committee agrees
to give up another Of it's amendments
and to allow the original House item to
stand. Therefore conference is simply
a protracted wrangle to see which BODY
gets the best end of the bargain. When
an agreement is finally reached the COM
mlttee reports to the respective houses
the terms of the agreement, and the
houses accept or reject them as they
please. When the report is finally
accepted, that is the end fit. If either
house refuses to accept certain item of
the report the committee is instructed
to insist on the action of its body, and
the committee is sent back like dis
agreeing jury Therefore it may require
week or a month for the conference
committee to report and get its report
finally accepted.
1t is the universal sentiment here
without exception that Mr.. Taft has
made most excellent beginning. Every.
thing in governmental and business
circles is moving along pleasantly and
sserenely. There is no friction, and not a
loose spoke in the wheel. The supreme
court again feels safe, Congress is out of
danger business interests go to sleep at
night and find everything safe and secure
IN the morning, and the general. delight
with the new order is most evident and
sincere. Everybody has confidence in

Possessed of an unusually genia

informed on current topics, and this
added to a remarkable memory made
him a valuable member of the COM

He possessed warm, generous heart,
was very fond of children and pets and
his home and family were his choicest
possessions. During his residence in
Concord he has done much to" lift the
standard of music to higher plane.
He stood ever ready to assist on all
programs, whether for church or fra
ternal organizations, and in the past
eleven years, with Mrs. May, had fur
nished music for about rs funerals and
will be sadly missed on such occasions.
He had been a member of Moose River

and was for many years its organist.
he was also member of Haswell Royal

and of Concord Grange No. 40S, Patrons
OF Husbandry and was member of the
degree team.
He was i'll three weeks with what
seemed to be nervous collapse but the
