When congress meets next Monday
il will have just three months i'm which
TO perform whatever may be the de-
mands OF republican administra-
ton. After that the fate of the Taft
legislative program will depend on the
will of democratic house and a re-
publican senate, a condition which
will continue until the end of the pres
ident's present term of office.
Confronted with a situation strewn
with confusion, the success or fail
ure of the approaching short session
Of the sixty-first congress is believed
to rest with the character of the exc
cutive message 20 be sent TO the legis-
lative bodies, according to republican
party leaders. Many Of the regular
renublicans who were defeated in the
recent elections are not expected TO
carry with the best of grace the
blows so harshly administered and
this fact of itself cuts out for the
president a task offering difficulties
far more complex than any that has
been presented to any executive with
in a score of years.
Realizing that he would be criticized
# he fails to demand of congress fur
Their revision of the tariff-especially
Of the wool and wooden schedule
and fully cognizant Of the fact that
the prospects would be all against
the success of such a program II SUD
mitted the president, it is said, has
not made up his mind definitely what
his course will be. The chances are
that he will not insist on action dur
ing the approaching session, but that
he will offer to the democratic house
and the republican senate year hence
a program for tariff revision which
will be bolstered up with facts and fig
ures gathered in the meantime by the
tariff board.

tion of the death of Mrs. Mary Brad
ley was made. Mrs. Bradley died last
summer but no mention of this wonder
ful woman has been made in the papers
OF Vermont, her native state. Mary
Smith was born in Albany, this
county, in 1923, her mother dying at
her birth. She spent her early days
IN Lowell, Mass where she work ed in
cloth factory but in the meantime
secured an education and became a
teacher. With her foster parents she
went to Wisconsin in 1854 Her school
was closed here because of the war,
and the governor of that state chose
her as field nurse to go south to the
war. She accepted the post and went
with the Tenth Wisconsin Infantry.
She went onto the battlefield literally
piled with the dead and told of coming
from those scenes with her skirts
literally soaked with blood of the
wounded soldiers. She worked for
two years without pay and was then
given nurses pay and did hospital
work, was once captured and suffered
all the privatiOns the men suffered.
She served four years as nurse, knew
Clara Barton and took many last mes
sages from the dying boys in the
south to be sent to their folks at
home. Mr.. Bradley. whom she later
married. was a soldier and it was
while she was dressing his wounds, Mr.
Bradley said, that he first loved her.
Mr.. Bradley was wounded in the battle
before Nashville and 1t was in this
same battle that her brother was shot.

is glad to pay this humble tribute,
though belated, to true and great
woman, native of Orleans county.

TELEPHONE DEAL ON
1t Be TO the Bell Trust? One of the
Strongest Independents in Field.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Vermont PEOPLES Telephone Company
with the head Office at Orleans, has
been called to see whether or not the
stockholders will vote to sell the Yer
mont Peoples Telephone company, and
if so to whom and under what terms,
and to further see if they will vote to
wind up the affairs of the concern.
AS the Vermont Peoples Line has
been one of the foremost and strong
est independent lines in the east and
has always paid per cent upon its
stock the question naturally arises as
to whom the directors have had oppor
tunity to sell that they should call this
meeting. Much interest is manifest in
the proposed deal, to know whether
the county is to have maintained an
Independent telephone system Or
whether all will be merged with the
New England and Bell system, operat-
ing in this section of the state through
the Passumpsic Telephone and Tele-
graph Company.
The Vermont Peoples Company is
renting in the vicinity of 1000 tele-
phones and covers Orleans county and
some territory outside very thorough
ly.They have maintained very satiSfac-
tory service at a rental price of Sl2 a
year for residences and $15 for busi-
ness places. giving unlimited calls and
the entire county. In Newport the
company has a new and we'll built un-
derground system.
1t is said that an inspection of the
Vermont Peoples lines were made
last summer by New England tele-
phone man and the supposition is that
this was done to ascertain the valne of
the property. Col. C.. S. Emery of
Newport is president of the company.
R. B. Buchanan of Orleans, secretary
and treasurer and H. L. Moore of
Newport, general manager. 1t is sup
posed the Buchanan family own con-
trolling interest in the company.
