Why He Eavors Mead.
Editor The Phoenix:

1 ne InNellA.
Dear Sir:-As l am considerably inter-
ested in the present gubernatorial contest
would like to express through The
Phoenix my view of the situation. Here
we have lawyers who want to be gov
errors and lawyers who want to be
lieutenant governors, and il looks as If
the lawyers wanted it all, which, of
course, they do. A person would nat
urally think that no man outside of the
legal profession was fit to hold a public
Office. But 1 believe there are plenty OF
them and better qualified for the reason
that they understand the needs of the
farmer and working people better, which
ought to and must be considered first of
all. Mead is by all odds the farmers
candidate and ought to receive the sup
port of the farmers and working people
throughout the state.
If the farmers had done their duty and
attended the caucuses as they ought to
think there would have been fewer unin-
structed delegates, and l hope that those
delegates will decide that the best inter
ests of the majority and of the state will
be served by giving their support to Mead
in the convention.
l saw a good deal of Mead in the legis-
lature and of course l know that as a
presiding officer he was not a brilliant
success, but that is not all there is to It.
1t is generally conceded that he is a man
of good business ability, sound judgment
and sterling integrity and without doubt
would give us a good solid business ad-
ministration.
He is interested in agriculture, attends
the dairymen's meetings and seems to
care for such things, which l consider a
good qualification for a governor of this
state of Vermont.

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING CALLED.
Voters viii Assemble July to Consider
Project Of Building Passenger Station
and AbolIshlna Crossing.


Warrants for a special town meeting
to be held in the town hall Saturday
afternoon, July 2, at go o'clock, were
posted by the selectmen Monday, vote
of the town being necessary before the
propositions which have been passed be-
tween the Central Vermont Railway
company and the committee elected by
the town, relative to abolishing the rail-
road crossing on Bridge street and erect
ing new passenger station on that
street, can be carried into effect. AS
stated in The Phoenix last week, the
railroad and the committee are agreed
as to what shall be done, but the agree
ment cannot be carried into effect with
out the official sanction of the town.
The plans for abolishng the crossing
erecting a new station, constructing an
oVerpass at about where the present
station stands, altering the highway on
Vernon street and doing the necessary
excavating involve an expenditure of
from $55, GOO to $50, OO0 but the town would
not be called upon to appropriate more
than $4,000, the state and the railroad
company to pay the balance A resolu
ton will be introduced in the meeting
providing for an appropriation not to
exceed $4,000. If an appropriation is not
made it is pretty certain that the public
service commission will order the cross
ing abolished, in which case the town will
have to pay about $1,000 and receive but
a small part of the benefit which would
accrue from the plan worked out by the
committee and their attorneys in con-
junction with the railroad company.
Having an eye for the future, the
cheaper way for the town would be to
vote a sum sufficient to carry out the
plan as outlined.
There are five articles in the warrant.
Article l is to see if the town will vote
an appropriation toward the expense of
cutting down the grade of Vernon street
and of constructing a new highway
easterly of Vernon street, between the
Brattleboro House and the Central Yer
mont railway freight house, and of con-
structing an overpass with necessary
roadway and approaches in place of the
grade crossing now existing on Bridge
street; and if so, what amount shall be
appropriated Article is to see If the
town will authorize the treasurer to
borrow on the credit of the town suffi-
cent funds to pay the appropriation if
an appropriation is made under article
!, and upon what terms and for what
length of time Article is to see if
the town will instruct its selectmen to
take necessary legal steps toward alter
ing or disseminating present highways
and toward laying out new highways, as
many as may be necessary in abolishing
the grade crossing, and constructing the
proposed highway Article 4 reads: "If
the appropriation is voted under article
! hereof, to see If the town will author
ize and empower the selectmen of the
town, as its agent, to make the neces-
sary and lawful contracts required to
effectuate the same" Article is to
transact any other business that law
fully may come before the meeting.

Duty Of Christian Church to Keep Ger

tain ones from Governors Chair, said
Rev. Mr.. Houehton.
Jesus in His day found it necessary
to say: Woe unto you Scribes and
Pharasees, hypocrites! for we devour
widows houses, and for pretense you
make long prayers His ministers
today If they be true to His spirit,
shall find it necessary sometimes to say:
Woe unto you Christians, hypocrtes!
who in the name of business corrupt
legislatures and pervert justice; who
violate state laws and perjure your own
souls and the souls of others to gain
public office, and then for a pretense
get yourself elected deacon of a church
or superintendent of a Sunday school,
We believe it is the duty of the Chris
tian church, in a land which calls itself
Christian, to do all It can to keep from
the important position of governor of a
Christian state a man who stands with
one hand in the lap of the church and
with the other supporting the liquor
traffic"
The above words were spoken Sunday
morning by Rev. Roy NJ. Houghton in
a sermon in the Congregational church
which created much favorable comment
The sermon was on Our mission to
Vermont towns" and 1t dwelt upon the
place of the church in the community.
Rev. Mr.. Houghton did not mention any
name, but the members of the congrega-
ton readily formed an idea as to who
was meant. Continuing, Mr.. Houghton
said: 1T is true that if a minister speaks
too plainly of some evil which touches
directly upon some business or political
condition in his own community he may
hear this criticism: We want the simple
gospel And the simple gospel means
sermons on hackneyed, threadbare themes,
which are so far divorced from present
day life that they will make no disturb
ance even If they don't do any good;
and they have the particular virtue of
causing no pangs of conscience to the
man who has been guilty of injustice in
his relations with his fellow men or of
ignomnous fraud in business or political
transactions. But Christian ministers
and Christian churches are false to their
mission unless they increasingly proclaim
the true Christian ideals And in the
worlds history It is clearly revealed that
the prophets who preached only what the
| people wanted to hear were soon for
gotten; the prophets who preached what
| the people ought to hear have been the
! real benefactors of mankind.
! Present political conditions in many
parts of our country is evidence that
! the Christian church has been remiss in
| her duty. There are those who insist
| that the church should keep out of
! politics. That advice, for the most part
| is given by men who are afraid to have
their political careers measured by Chris
! tan standards"
