Notice.

Special meeting of Barre branch, G.
G, /. A., win be held in Miles hall Tues
day, Nov. 2s, for the purpose of voting
on constitutional revision. The ballot
will be open from O'Clock until s in
the evening Note: See Editorial in
October G. G. Journal.
James Mortimer, Secy.
Sec. 81 of our laws provides that when
a convention is held, the expenses shall
be paid from an assessment of 81 20 be
placed on each member Of our associa-
ton.
Evidently members in some localities
understand that revision by eonven-
ton would also be submitted for general
vote and would be open to amendment,
etc, but such is not the case. The acts
OF a convention are final and become
the constitution and resolutions of our
association without submission for
amendent or vote on adoption. IL is
only in the event of revision by COM
mittee that the report of the revisers
is submitted for amendment and adop-
ton.
II is not estimated that the assess
ment of 81 on each member TO pay the
costs of the convention will do more than
pay about one.third OF the expense. and
section 81 provides that the balance of
the expenses will come out OF the gen
eral fund.

CURRENT COMMENT
Take Courage.

Let a public spirited citizen give his
time, his intelligence, his money and in
auence to matters affecting the common
welfare whether it be educational, politi-
cal, hygenic or otherwise and he straight
way becomes target for cynical abuse
and criticism. 1t takes a pretty strong
stomach to stand some things.-Rutland
Herald.
A great many good men have learned
this. But often times the methods en-
ployed by the workers for good are as
much open to criticism as the people.
The American people can be depended
upon generally to do the right thing.
They may be slow but when they are
finally convinced they will be loyal to
good men and good measures.
1t requires more or less tact and dip
lomacy even to help people A filtra-
ton system may be the very best thing
for the city Of Rutland, even if it does
represent a large expenditure. If it is
and its advocates stick to their guns
the people will vote for it in the end

THE LEGISLATIVE CHAPLAIN'S
JOB.

New Jersey pays ten dollars day
for the daily prayers in each branch
of its state legislature, but following
the election of a clergyman as a member
of the Senate, it is expected that the
service of the hired prayer-maker viii
be dispensed with in one branch OF the
legislature at least. 1t is reasonable to
expect such change in affairs. How
ever, if the senatorclergyman declines to
accept the duty of offering prayer each
morning, the state Of New Jersey ought
to take the case in hand and scale down
the prices paid for the daily prayer
1t is ridiculous to pay clergyman ten
dollars each day for offering short
invocation in single branch Of the
legislature; but in one respect at least
the system in vogus in New Jersey is
superior to that which obtains in YER
mont. In the latter the state treasury
pays a professional chaplain in each
branch of the legislative service, thus
combining the largesses of the state to
two men, rather than passing the good
thing around among many clergymen,
as is done in New Jersey In view Of
the number of aspirants every two years
for the positions of chaplains in the
House and the Senate, it would seem
like far more benevolent spirit to scat
ter the fees as widely as possible and
not allow two men TO have a monopoly
of the income. Better still would it be
for some clergyman-member to rise be-
side his seat and offer the prayer, with
out hope of being paid for the slight
service. Perhaps the senator-clergyman
in New Jersey will set precedent in
this matter which will prove attractive
in many other states than his own.
