SENATOR PAGE
Senator G. s Page spokn Of his re-
gr"t that no did rot have college
course OF study, and told Q. his pride
| in Vermont and tie state university.
10 said in part: when | FIRST came
to the Senate much constitutional law
was being discussed ana my pride was
stimulated when tie fact WAS referred
| TO frequently that the great constitu-
tional lawyer OF his day was George
! +. Ednunds. I don't think that any
authority WAS referred to more often
nor DO I think there was any ques-
ton raised MS to the present value Of
his decisions. During the discussion
of tie tariff we quoted Justice S. Nor
ril1 and no man was referred to with
greater respect. j." was regarded AS
the encyclopedias OF oil facts pertain
Ing 10 the tariff and he was referred
TO es tho man whose Judgment upon
finance stood at the head ] was also
very proud OF the things said Of Sen
ator Proctor. l think | have heard it
said on the floor Of TIE Senate that no
sp.ech ever delivered there was more
potential ~ irlportant results than
| hts speech in regard to the Spanish
war
! TIE list. Coilancr. morrill,. toote. Ed
1unde. Proctor! You don't find such Il
| Quintet from any other State o. tie
| I'nio1 ana I am proud OF it.
| CONG r Hx,sMAnJ FOSTER
| The Hon. u. j. Foster said n uart,
| speaking Of :he years " hen llo was an
instructor in ths University OF Vermont:
want to say that ! had training In
NY college, course that was equal to that
/ Rl.s. and NOBODY who Was rot under
MIR Bliss can appreciate the careful dis
cipl,ne In the Nse Of his ,iotleY tongue
! which We received.
| When YOU think Of the reputation Of
| Vermont in Congress you are forced to the
| conclusion that It has been made by non
college men largely. believe that never
"A man went to Congress from any part of
|
the people as Senator Morrill,. But he
was not college man. Senators Proctor
and Ross were college men.
The college iS doing a tremendous work
/ for our country. The government is re-
( Wing upon tho college. Our own agricul
, triral college is making a new Vermont
The farmers are Just awakening to the
use Of grey matter in their business. The
Champla!n valley is a veritable garden
spot for fruit Although this year was an
off year Mr.. Holmes OF Charlotte. VT.
had - acres Of Rhode Island Greetings
and farmers came from far and near To
see that orchard and to wonder why it
was so good. The secret was plain. Mr..
| Holmes had been using his r.ey-matter
in his business The work of Senator
Morrill, In agriculture is the most i'm
portant Of all.
