The following communication
was sent from Sinner to Senator
D. A. Paulus and was reproduced
in the Senate Journal
Sinner, Tex, April II, 1909. Hon.
D. A. Paulus, Austin, Tex. Dear Sir:
This community is watching with un-
usual interest the proceedings of the
Thirty-iirst, and is in favor of fewer
and better laws. We do not believe
that lawmaking body is for the pur-
pose of promoting the interests of a
few politicians who are playing before
the galleries under the pretense OF
carrying out platform demands, de-
clared to be such by politicians. We
are unreservedly in sympathy with the
brave and manly stand the majority
of the Senate has taken against coer-
cion and rebuke, believing that they
have been subservient to the best
interests of the people, and forming 8
wholesome bar againt vicious ant
spurious legislation. Very respect
fully yours, CHAs. WELHAUSEN,
And many others.
N. B.-Charles Welhausen was {
pioneer settler of tincounty, Tex.
and served four years as brave Con
federate soldier, rising to the rank o
captain.

Be a Booster.

Under this heading the Springfield Re-
porter hands out some good suggestions
about boosting, which will apply to
about every town. 1t says:
''Are you boosting your own home
town:
"You may be sincerely DESTROYS that
your home town go ahead. and yet not
be doing thing to make it. Your feel
ing may be no more personal and effect
i've than your feeling that you would
like to see the Young Turks kill off
Abdul Hamd. 1t is too remote to have
any influence on local conditions.
ITO be booster one must get into the
habit of considering the interests of the
home town. One must talk its adj
vantages enthusiastically to strangers,
visitors and newcomers. Send copies of
your home paper to friends at distance
who may consider change in location.
Have your eye out for such measures of
town improvement, cooperation of busi-
ness men, identifying of the streets and
public grounds, as will make your city a
more attractive place to live in, a
more profitable place to do business iii.
Are the interests of your home city close
to your heart in this way. so that every
day you try to find some way of advanc-
ing its interests
Not all of the above applies to Middle
bury, as it is fact that good majority
of our citizens are boosters, always or
the lookout for some method of improv
ing our town, industrially and in Other
ways. But there is always room for i'm
provement, an opportunity to beautify
our already beautiful village, to attrac
new industries, which means an increas
ed population, more money in circulation
and greater prosperity all around.
Let's all be boosters all the time.

transformation TO NEWSPAPERS.

There was dill in the late legislature
making the furnishing of false informa-
ton to Newspapers a criminal act, but
we believe it died some kind of death.
New York is living under such an enact
ment and last week the law was invoked
to punish lawyer who had given report
er false information which, when pub
lished, reflected greatly on respectable
woman. The justice in summing up the
case said:
81 want to say that it is illegal for any
one to parcel out fakes or false stories
to newspapers. For a lawyer to be
guilty of any such indiscretion it is
doubly criminal, for the reason that he
not only does an injustice to the news
papers, but he puts the Bar Association
in bad repute. Both have troubles
enough without anomalies of the charac-
ter contained in the papers before me-
This was the first case that has been
tried since the act became a law two
years ago. The lawyer was fined $3.50
for his offense. Bradford Opinion.

Lost in m ontreal

When the New England States limited
pulled into Essex Junction Thursday
evening, Frank Osbo n, the missing but.
ter buyer, stepped into the waiting arms
of Sheriff Allen. who escorted him to the
county Jail in Burlington. Osborn's
cash on hand totalled about four cents,
the two blank checks signed by Clayton
A. Booth and Mr.. Booths $3.50 being
missing. 1t is strange story that Os-
born tells of mental alteration, dimly
recalling being in Montreal Sunday,
where he was recognized and. where he
saws he was drugged, and of forgetful-
ness of self till he woke up Wednesday
in Concord, N. ii. Recovering his GUS
tomary clearness of mind, Osborn says
he hastened to White River Junction
where trainmen saw him and advised
local parties. He had to seek the aid of
friends in getting back where his family
and employer have mourned his absence
Osborn says he tore up the two checks
and Mr.. Booth hopes that he did.

This is the time of year when Middle.
bury looks it's best. The freshness and
beauty of the late spring is upon us and
nature seems to second our efforts to
make this one of the most attractive
places imaginable. Not long since one
of the faculty of Middlebury college, ad-
dressing a gathering of teachers in Yer
gennes, referred to this section of Yer
mont as the garden spot of the world,
and the speaker was not native of the
state. 1t was very apt expression and
is in accord with the feeling of every
true Vermonter, whether that person be
native born or not. We have the at
fractions for summer visitors and with a
comparatively small amount invested in
judicious advertising, rightly placed,
there is no reason why the number of
these people could not be doubled by a
year from now. This is a good subject
to consider, and not only consider but
act on. Vermont is the summer home OF
many jewellers of the cities but is not get
ting anywhere near its share of this bus
iness and it is the fault of the people il
the different towns, and their fault
alone. Nature has been lavish in hei
gifts; let men do their share and the re
turns will be hundred fold.

Champlain Sunday PROCLAIM att o n
STATE OF VERMONT, 1909.
A PROCLAMATION.

1t was a worthy custom of our faith
ers to include in public concentrations
services of worship and thanksgiving, in
order that such occasions should not pass
without general attention to the lessons
which they are fitted to convey.
Our State is about to unite with the
State of New York in the celebration of
the tercentenary OF the discovery of Lake
Champlain and the territory of the
o Chan nv, vall ,G0o by Samuel de Cham
This event preceded the landing of the
May FLOWER by eleven years, and occurred
several months before the discovery of
the Hudson River and the lands adjacent
to New York. Samuel de Champlain
was the first European, the first man of
Christian faith, either to behold or to
traverse any portion of the great natural
passage way-soon to become, we may
hope, great waterway for the largest
inland vessels-between the st. Law
renee valley and the Atlantic seaboard.
Champlain was a pioneer for the Chris
tan missionary. He himself conducted
company of missionaries to this conti-
nent and assisted them in their godly
enterprises. Wherever he went as an
explorer, he planted great cedar crosses,
in token of the possession of those lands
for the Christian faith.
| He was man of pure life, against
whom the tongue of SANDER was never
directed. That providence allowed him
to depart this life on the anniversary of
our Redeemer's birth was not uniting.
His remark that the salvation of one
soul is of more value than the founding
of new empire is authenticated by the
best historians.
Since in the providence of God, events
of greatest moment, and of utmost signi-
ficance to the jewellers in these valleys
have followed Champlain's discovery, il
is becoming that recognition of its ami
versary be made in public worship in al
our churches, Therefore designate
SUNDAY, JULY THE FOURTH, A. D. 1909
AS CHAMPLAIN SUNDAY
and recommend that on that day appro
pirate reference be made in divine wor.
ship in all churches in our midst to the
discovery by Christian explorer of the
territory which Almighty God vouch'
safed to our fathers for their homes.
Given under my hand and the Grea
Seal of the State of Vermont this fourth
day of June, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred nine. and Of
the independence of the United States

RESTORING THE MORGAN HORSES.

Carl Stocked of Norfolk, Conn, al
ways more or less in the public eye be-
cause of his many and unique philan-
thropies and widely known through his
come ction with the musical world, has
a tender spot in his heart for Vermont.
Upstate where the picturesque town of
Ripton stands on edge along the eastern
boundary of Addison county, this mil
lionaire patron of music and art has in
terested himself in the breeding of horse
flesh and no finer specimen of the Nor
gan strain can be found than the
'Stoeckel mare and several other ami
mails owned by Mr.. Stocked. Probably
less than half dozen persons in Yer

been financially interested in breeding
Vermont Morgans in Vermont for a
number of years.-From the Brattleboro

THE INFAMOUS DOE BILL.

Massachusetts has passed law which
permits farmers to shoot deer which they
find damaging their crops. This meas
ure was proposed at Montpelier last fall
and received considerable support, but
the members, misled by tho camor of a
few fish and game leaguers, killed the
measure, then, pendulum-like, swung to
the other extreme with the infamous doe
bill, which will probably exterminate
the deer of the state this fall. Massa-
chusetts has led Vermont in almost all
material legislation. The deer law is no
exception. Rutland Herald.
