GATES NOT IN RACE.
Will Not Seek Republican Nomi-
nation for Governor

The Messenger Monday printed an
nouncement of c. w. Gates, of Frank
lin. state highway commissioner, that he
will not seek the Republican nomination
for governor This comes in flat contra
diction to st. Adams special dispatch
to the Boston Sunday Herald, which
also appeared in Vermont morning pa.
pers Monday in which it is stated that
Mr.. Gates has announced his intention to
seek the nomination. Mr. Gatess an
nOuncement is AS follows
The more or less frequent appearance
of my name in the state press for the
past four months in connection with the
governorship and the numerous requests
that have come TO me from persons all
over the state that allow my name 10

or solicitation.

seeking the office and on account of my

my candidacy have been 80 numerous

After looking the situation over very

say that am in hearty sympathy with

to me and l clearly recognize the obliga-
ton of any man to heed the call of his
fellow citizens when coming along the
line of right and duty; but ! am also
mindful of a present duty already as
sumed by me and the resulting obiga-
tons to the people of the who lie state to
the governor who appointed me for a
definite term of office, and to my coun-
ty supervisors, and the town officials in
every town in the state who are CO.
laborers with me in the interest of good
roads.
New laws and new methods of road
improvement are on trial and it seems
clearl y my duty not to leave the work
at this time.
To become a candid ate for the gov

sent conditions, | cannot conscientiously
do and continue in the employ of the

For these reasons l must adhere to my

word, to express my gratitude to my

Regarding the case of Paymaster
Aud, the St Adams Messenger very
sensibly remarks: What would We
have thought if the government of the
state of Vermont had taken up in such
formal seriousness such a petty affair
as the case of Paymaster Aud that has
just shaken the foundations of the navy
department and threatened to overturn
the Goddess of Liberty at the Capitol -?
Any man trying to invoke the depart
mental machinery of the state, or of
any state in the Union, for that matter,
to pry into such a trifiing social foolish
ness and punish somebody for what was
plainly nothing but boyish indiscre-
ton in what appears to have been good
cause, Gf the young man was at fault
at ALL, would be laughed out of the
commonwealth. " The Messenger is
right. 1t is about as foolish "a piece of
business as was ever taken cognizance
of by the navy department, or any
other department of the government.

The Boomer-knocker,

We all know him. He poses for
boomer, a booster of the first order,
but his would-be promoting does not
amount to much because he can not boom
without at the same time knocking.
He takes off his coat to lift at his end
of the log with all his might and works
up a preparation just getting ready,
but while his heart is sincere and his
purpose high, his end of the log does
not rise very much because he spends
so much of his strength scolding be-
cause some other fellow, who ought to
be there, is not at the logs other end,
or because those who are there, doing
their best are not lifting quite in the
manner he thinks they should He
knows Vermont is the best state in the
Union for Young men just now, and
there are plenty of opportunities right
at home, but he can not pour five gills
of glory over those opportunities with
out letting loose half-gallon walls on his
sleepy fellow citizens who are not
ing house steeple. There is more of a
push-down in his knock than there is
lift-up in his boom. For who would
not rather live in the untoward environs
of Dead Salt Creek, along with folks
that are up and doing 365 days in the
year and 366. days leap years than
maintain his domocile in the garden of
Eden, if the gardeners there were all
such fools as not to have the slightest
suspicion of their advantages?
A sour minded cynic on folks is not
going to do much good talking up soils,
scenery, and waterfalls. 1t is the en-
terprise of people that is the largest
element of value of the region where
they live. Better $500 worth of bust
ness opportunity where men are pro-
gressive and women sprightly than
$4,000 worth of chances for the dollars
where wits are dead and hearts asleep.
The pessimist on Vermont folks is a
fool of the Ananias variety. The CAPT
tai of our state is in her men. and al
ways has been. There is great future
just ahead for Vermont business, es-
pecially for Vermont farming. A man
from one of the richest regions of the
central west, after week s study of
Addison County farms, has just told us
that a dollor in a Vermont farm to-day
brings more than SO in his country.
But that isn't the best thing about the
Vermont of to-day The supreme at
traction of Vermont is the good sense
and the strong moral virtue of her in
habitants. We are going forward in
education, in business methods in
scientific agriculture at very satisfac-
tory rate, and the man who settles in
Vermont to day, or in Addition County
at least. makes his home in an enter
prising community, where his boys and
girls will feel the push of ambition as
strongly as in any region of America,
Let US boom Vermont. Vermont folks
and the present Vermont spirit, as well
as Vermont farms and business oppor-
tunities and i'm our booming let us leave
out the knocking. Let each man lift
at his end of the log, and cut out all
fault-inding with the fellow at the
other end.

If NJ. j. Hapgood of Peru is joke, as
some esteemed contemporaries would
have the people believe, the joke lies in
the fact that he has arrived considerably

ions but it knows that he is honest,
earnest and active and not few of the
principles he now advocates will in flu

state government progresses as every
good citizen certainly believes it will
Mr.. Hapgood's name has been men
toned as candidate for governor No
body expects that the suggestion will
amount to anything, including Mr.
Hapgood himself. But the state might
do worse than elect him governor; in
fact, there is some dangey Just now
that it will do a great deal worse.

Halley's comet, which is now APP
preaching the earth at some millions of
miles day, is announced to be loaded
with cyanogen, a deadly poison, and
therefore is full of peril for people on
this planet. Camille Flammarion, the
distinguished French scientist, goes so
far as to say that this cynogen gas may
impregnate the atmosphere and possibly
snuff out all the life on earth. Let us
hope that the end may come without

In communication to the Burlington
Free Press, Brer Harris of Washington
concludes that old Vermont has gone
back on the republican party. He re-
grets that the State could not live
through the present spasm of political
treason as well as it did without being
infected with populism, and other lat
ter isms. He believes however, we will
not have a long run of the insurgent
germ, and we will again soon be in line
with the grandest political party that
ever existed. The Gazette is going to
extend gratefulness to Brer Harris for
his solcitude, and wishes to assure him
that we are in no ways distressed. Our
staunch republican strength is not af-
fected He is undoubtedly led to the
conclusion, from the opinions expressed
that it would be in the interests of har-
mony if Uncle Joe Cannon would step
down when his term as speaker is end
ed. We do not believe this opinion can
he diagnosed as a symptom of kinsur-
gentism. Cannon has served his party
