due to manifold other duties and i'll
unload the burden of leadership his
sympathies would be with the board and
he would give it his hearty support. Mr..
COwles was serving his third year. His
term covered the most active period in
the history of the board and he met the
responsibilities of the position with fl
deity and efficiency.
The election of Mr.. Houghton came
without previous arrangement and the
honor was entirely unsolicited, as he had
not been in anywise a candidate. He
on account of the positive demands of
his business upon his time, but in view
of the circumstances he finally decided
to accept the Office for the uneXpired
term. Mr.. Houghton is the senior mem
Der of the dry goods firm of Houghton
& Simonds and has lived in Brattleboro
from his boyhood. Although the firm
has been in business but a few years it
has built up large trade both here and
at the store in Springfield, VT, and its
business is one of the largest of it's kind
in Vermont. A young man of energy
and capability, Mr.. Houghton will be a
credit to the office with which he has
been honored.
Aside from the election of a president
the business of the meeting was chiefly
of an informal nature. 1t was decided to
have a banquet and entertainment in the
near future, probably in the Brooks
House

President Guy Potter Benton of the
of Vermont, in his inaugural
address, spoke of the relation of the
to the state in various ways.
and touched upon such important sub
jects as a more highly developed agri
culture, good roads and the utilization
of the water courses in developing power
for industrial enterprises, His message
was one of hopefulness and resolution,
but he did a good service in pointing out
"a fault which we who live in section of
the country with a glorious past and
traditions are likely to overlook. Il
dare to say that the greatest menace to
the growth and development of New
England and the prosperity and happi
ness of it's people is its SNUG, compla-
cency. If we continue to wrap ourselves
up within ourselves in egotistic self
sufficiency, we shall vegetate until We
become impotent in our fiabby content
ment, or we shall fossilze until our re-
serve and conservatism become impen-
eterable and immovable."

DEBoER AND THE GOVERNoRsHIP.


1t would be a hopeful sign and Ver-
mont would gain tremendously in
progress at home and prestige abroad if
the people of the state rallied enthusiasts
tically to the support of Joseph A. De-
Boer and demanded his nomination as
governor. Mr.. DeBoer is willing to serve
as governor, but as president of the Ma
tional Life Insurance company he does
not feel that he can give "the time and
energy which usage seems to require in
a campaign for the nomination" This
may be an idealistic attitude, and IDEAL
ism, like the decalogue and the golden
rule may have no place in politics, but
it will win respect for Mr.. DeBoer ev-
erywhere, even if it does not win the
support of politicians. And while we are
talking about dealism, wouldn't DeBoer
made an ideal governor? That he is pro-
gressive, that he possesses a keen, train
ed intellect, is we'll informed on state
affairs and state problems, that he is the
peer of any man in the state, will be
generally conceded. For once we would
like to see a campaign where the office
sought the man. The little immigrant
from Holland who sold newspapers on
the streets of Albany, who worked his
way through college and who today,
with a past without a blemish, is the
institution of the state, is good enough
for The Phoenix to be governor of Yer
mont. What do you say?

Whitney Against Foss on the Tariff ls'


Henry NJ. Whitney, four years ago the
Democratic candidate for governor of
Massac chusetts, refuses to support Gov
ernor Foss for reelection and announces
that he will support the Republican can
didate against Foss, Mr. Frothingham
The reason for this change lies in the
tariff declarations of the Massachusetts
Democracy. Mr.. Whitney believes in re-
ducing the tariff wherever the duties can
be lowered without injury to American
industries, but no farther. The Demo-
Gratis favor an indiscrimnate cutting and
slashing of duties. Mr.. Whitney en-
dorses the Republican tariff policy and
says, in part, in his explanation of his
change in faith:
"A few years ago, when running for
governor l stated repeatedly that in my
Judgment the proper basis of protection
to an industry was the difference be-
tween the cost of labor at home and
abroad, and this difference to be left to
competent experts to determine, and,
furthermore, that after this difference
had been found, the minimum of pro-
lection on this basis should be reached
by gradual reductions covering a number
of years that all concerped might have
a reasonable time to adjust themselves
to the new conditions. Hence, since on
this question of tariff policy, which |
consider the question of paramount i'm
portance, my views are, and long have
been in accord with those now adopted
by President Taft and Republicans of
Massachusetts, l am compelled to stand
with them in the present campaign"
