This bit of common-sense from The
Brattleboro Phoenix should be read by
everybody:
alt is time for the voters of each
town to begin to think seriously about
the representatives and senators in the
legislature of 1910. Men should be
chosen for their fitness aud their ability
to accomplish results, not because they
have been active i'll politics and are
good fellows. The next Legislature will
be called upon to deal with important
matters. 1t must take the initiative in
proposing changes in the constitution ;
it will be called upon to vote upon the
proposed amendment to the federal con-
stitution; a change in the methods OF
handling business in the legislature IL.
self is needed, and the important mat
ters of taxation, education, trunk line
highways, etc, will come up for consid
Grafton. The members of our next leg
islature will have such an opportunity
as has not been offered in years for do
ing a genuine service for the State

In the person of Porter Fl. Dale, can
ddate for county senator, we have a
man qualified by education, and all
other necessary and natural character
istics to fill the office. If he should be
chosen, and we know of no opposition
to his candidacy, his friends have every
confidence that he will worthily repre-
sent the county and the state. Whether
as citizen, business man, neighbor or
friend, Essex County has no man more
respected than Porter H. Dale.

With stern defiance in its tone,
Its deadly missive hurled,
rhen. through the Land. both North and south
Were battle flags unfuTled.
From northern hill. from western plain.
From rolling oceans shore.
There came the song OF marching men.
A song MOI heard before:
We're coming, Father Abraham,
Three hundred thousand more"
Then mid the hills Of old Vermont
The freeman's pulses stirred;
As heroes answer duty's call,
Though stern the voice that's heard,
Though called to sacrifice and death,
We're ready. was the word.
Soon on the sunny southern fields.
Where war its carnage made.
Was seen, where breasts of struggling men
The hercest passions swsyed,
And bullets sang their songs OF death.
The old Vermont Brigade.
We may not tell of all the deeds
The Old Brigade has wrought,
OF all the bloody battle fields
(which our heroes fought,
But let faint glimpses, here and there,
Suggest how peace was bought.
Twas at Lees Mill that first they saw,
Entrenched, the gallant foe,
While pressing on toward Richmond, where
Mcclellan wilied to go;
To which the southern soldier boys
By act responded, MOP
Some ten score men, with faces stern,
Are waist deep in a stream
Above their heads, with cartridge belts,
Their musket barrels CLEAN;
To them tits duty, though to us
Their task may hopeless seem.
They reach the bank, they forward press,
The rife pits they gaiu
Five hundred men before them fly
Now falls deadly rain
of bullets ten to one, the foe
Is facing them amain
Why are not reinforcements sent.
Or orders to retirel
They do not know, but facing Death
HIS visage dark and dire
They shout to him defiance. from

And ceased the bloody fray,
A thousand men from old Vermont

A thousand mothers, sisters. wives,

To enforce their right of admission
to theatres, hotels and other public
places, Afro-Americans of New York
have organized and incorporated a So
clety known as the Manhattan Pro-
tective League.
The promoters of this league say
in their articles of incorporation that
their object will be ito obtain legal
redress for Afro-American citizens
who are denied the full and equal en-
]oyment of all rights and privileges in
hotels, restaurants, theatres and pub
lie conveyances and other places of
public accommodation and amuse-
ment" H.:,.
This certainly is laudable move.
as it seems outrageous that decent
citizens who desire to enjoy the rights
OF citizens and taxpayers should be
Disseminated against solely on ac-

CHRISTIAN PHILANTHROPY.

The Washington Juvenile Club of
Washington, D. c., claims to have
been organized 'primarily for boys of
poor or unfortunate parentage who
have heretofore, in many cases, been
accustomed to spending their evenings
upon the streets or in resorts of cues
tionable character" but if an Afro
American boy were presented for
membership the entire board of direc-
tors would drop dead.
In their recent literature the pro-
moters boast of the fact the club is
composed of boys of American, Irish,
Russian, Syrian, italian, Jewish,
Scotch, Bohemian, Austrian, Hunga-
rian, Roumanian, Danish, German,
Swiss, Chinese, Spanish, English and
