fray which occurred near Palmetto,

DIR. G. l.. Erwin.

The appointment of DR.. G.. L. Erwin
| of Newport as trustee of the state
! hospital for the insane comes as sur
prise. DIR. Erwin is familiar with the
workings of the institution, having pre-
viously served six years on the board
of supervisors. We imagine that the
only reason why Hon. H A. Stafford
was not reappointed was that the Gov
ernor thought it wise to have doctor
on the board of trustees. Mr.. Stafford
has rendered to the state excellent
service and he retires from the posi-
ton with proud record. We hope DR..
Erwin will make as good a man for
the Institution and the state as has
Mr.. Stafford; and just as like as not
he will.-Waterbury Record.
Lobbying Educators.
We would rot give very much for a
locality that would not stand by it's
guns when it comes to case of CIV
ing up an educational institution or
losing thriving industry thus there
was a good excuse for the way the
different sections have tried to keep
the Johnson. Randolph and Castleton
normal schools and see to it that no
legislation was brought about that
would cripple their institutions. 1t
was all right for Hon. C. H. Stearns
of Johnson and other prominent resi-
dents of towns where the schools are
located to be Johnny on the job, ="
but when it came to the heads of the
different institutions, who are paid by
the state, trying to do lobby work, it
was another matter. The latter was
especially true when Gov. Mead and
superintendent Stone were J anxious
to get legislation which would eventu-
ally mean one large State normal
school which is generally believed to
be what is needed.
We most heartily congratulate Gov.
Mead and Superintendent Stone on
bringing about legislation which in the
end cannot do otherwise than improve
the schools of Vermont.
The educational interests of the
state demanded this reform, and it
was only right that it should come at
this me.-Waterbury Record.

PLATFORM PLEDGES.

During the Thanksgiving recess it
has been the privilege of the writer
to converse with a number of the
legislators of this vicinity upon the
work of the session. We have also
ascertained as near as possible their
stand upon certain measures the
republican party pledged the people
of the state. Almost without excep-
ton those with whom we have talked
have expressed their opinion that
they should do as they believed right
regardless of party platforms and
party pledges and we ali admire the
man who does as his conscience
dictates.
The Monitor is hardly ready to
adjudge man guilty of misde-
meanor or breach of faith because he
honestly believes measure that his
party has pledged for should not
become law, yet there is another
side to the question. Previous to this
year, the Monitor must admit the rank
and file of republicans knew nothing
of what the party platform was to be
until after its adoption at the state
convention, and there was less reason
for abiding by the party's pledge.
But previous to the convention of 1910.
the proposed platform was prepared
and published broadcast for the sane.
ton of the people. Where there was
any protest of any proportion what
ever the Monitor understands the
plank was adjusted to meet the dis
position of the people, and as near as
possible platform conforming to the
desires of the masses of republicans
of Vermont was adopted. Now then,
it is reasonable to expect that the
platform more nearly than ever was
a platform of the people. Moreover,
how many candidates for legislative
distinction protested against that
plank in the platform which they now
vote against? Further than this if
sone does not believe in a certain plank
now he must not have believed in it
before his election and inasmuch as he
was elected on a straight republican
ticket and platform he might at least
have made it known to his would-be
constituents that he could not con-
scientiously support such and such
measures. Those constituents stood
by the platform, at least made nc
protest whatever against it's adoption.
1t is their platform.
The Monitor again repeats that it is
hardly ready to state that Legislators
who fight the platform measures are
not doing their duty, but it does seen
to this paper that if they were entire
ly faithful to themselves, their party
and their people, they could have pro
tested against the adoption of the
planks in the platform, notified the
people previous to their election tina
the dictates of their conscience woulC
not allow of their supporting suci
measures, or support them now.
