Some Of the newspapers seem dis
posed to criticise Governor Meads
appointment of Hon. Kittredge Has
kins to succeed Attorney b. w. Glib
son as municipal judge at Brattleboro
but the Banner is inclined to think
that the governor has done wisely
and well Attorney Gibson is a
young man just entering on what
should be the most active part of his
life. He has large and growing
law practice. He is abundantly able
to take care of himself So also I'M
doubtedly could Col. Haskins, but the
former congressman has reached an
age when he should not be compelled
to take so active a part in the stTug-
giles of life as he has during the past
forty years. He is an old soldier and
has given many years to the public
service at very moderate compensa-
ton. The Banner is glad he has been
appointed municipal judge at Brattle-
boro and hopes he may continue to
hold the place until he is ready to re-
tire.

The Time Lock.

The Legislature of 1910 has given
the state a series Of surprises-not
for the best service, but the poorest.
The latest surprise was the Senate
vote on the time lock section of the
proposed amendments to the consti-
tuition. That section was refused, by
vote OF ten senators against IT,
That was one-third of the Senate
and that one-third has dehed the
platform of the Republican party
and set Vermont back to the time
when it was doubtful whether a
democratic form OF government
would succeed. At this time there
is no doubt Of that kind, except from
the reactionaries that stand In the
way Of progress.
The conservative sentiment is, in
the good old Vermont phrase. run
min empt'ns.' There is noS more
need of time lock to protect our
constitution than Ethan Aliens
statue needs an overcoat this cold
weather. Is there another constltu-
ton in the whole land that needs
such protection? OF all the states
OF the Union conservative Olu yer
mont has less need of protection
from itself than any other in the
Union. Even England's monarchy
leaves its unwritten constitution
open for change and amendment
That is true democracy. But Ver'
mont once called a pure democracy
has run upon the evil time of pro.
gressive age when ten men can hold
up It's entire electorate. What is the
purpose OF holding fast to the 10
year limit anyway? DO the people
know more at the decennial periods
than between them? II not, why
not let the people act when they
wish. II majority OF all the Leg
islature, including the Senate
should have taken that action, there
would be criticism from the people
but for ten men TO hold up thai
amendment is great wrong to al
intelligent electorate.-Burlingtoi

A Funeral Silence

The attempt TO secure n commits

little speech from Representative

When Kennedy OF Willlston consid.

that II the governor had any political

The lobby at Montpelier at this
session Of the legislature is larger
and more active than ever before,
showing in the first place a greater
interest in what is done or may be
done and in the second place the
necessity of sending men to Mont
pelier who will not be unduly in
fluenced by outside pressure. No one
should jump at the conclusion that
the lobby is Altogether bad for it isn't.
Many desirable measure needs to be

send him every item of news of

John Crogan and Mike Bregstein got
home Wednesday from their auto
trip TO Old Home week at Strouds-

its new axle in place ran finely and
good time was made, both going and
returning. After leaving Milford
the 2S miles to Stroudsburg was
run at a 40rmile-an-hour clip over
a road as nearly perfect as any in
Pennsylvania. The Honesdale men
were delighted with their outing and
they say Stroudsburg knows how

last year is not going to be beaten
in a hurry by Stroudsburg or any
other eastern Pennsylvania town.
