PROCLAMATION.

The world is indebted to New Eng
land for its best Inspirations and to the
Pilgrims for its highest ideals Here
was the first home of civil and religious
liberty, for our forefathers planted in the
virgin soil of an unbroken wilderness
the seeds of the christian Faith" which
ripened into the richest harvest ever
garnered. 1t is the "Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhood of Man"
From the crest of times civilization,
we cross the span of three centuries
crowded with events and crowned with
achievements.
A fact stands out clear and defined.
The colonist made the present and is
fashoning the future. The warm and
throbbing hearts of the Pilgrims are
now cold and pulseless, but their I'M
marked graves are not forgotten. They
are eternal fountains, from which with
ceaseless flow comes the elevating influ-
ences which are the safeguard of the
republic, and shape the destiny of man
kind.
without New England and the Pill
grims, free government would have been
failure and liberty only name.
One custom, which they established,
was to set apart day on which to thank
Almighty God for His great goodness
and continued care. 1t was theirs then:
it is a nations custom today.
Devout in it's inception, sacred in its
character, hallowed by precedent, conse-
Grated by observance, consonant with
the spirit that He who DEGREES a ma
tons rise or fall, had guided the colo
mist; this custom is now sanctioned by
law Therefore, l, John A Mead, Gov
ernor. do hereby designate Thursday, the
Goth day of November (currenp as
Thanksgiving day in Vermont.
The bountiful harvest of the fields and
. la ioha har 6 onrira inst tn,
lions have been with lavish hand be-
slowed upon the people of this common
wealth.
In the home with our loved ones and
| in places of public worship with neigh
bors and friends, let US observe the day
| Bind closer the ties of knship, strength
! en- the bonds which unite us as citi.
| zens of our state, draw nearer to the
Divine Master, who has endowed us with
that peace and plenty and that prosperity
| which makes the present the world
| greatest epoch and American citizenship
synonymous with lofty purposes, civic
honor and the highest conceptions of pri
vate and public duty.
AS we look back, this Thanksgiving
day rises from a past rich in legends anC
stored deeds, but let us look beyond tn,
| boundaries of success.
There is want as well as plenty; Their,
are victims as well as victors; those VIII,
suffer as we'll as those who rejoice.
Let this day be full of good deeds ant
| kind acts, where misfortune or sorrow
darkens, for thus we manifest in tn
higest sense our realization of the good
ness of God and make evident mans hu
mainly to man.

The Princeton football team, which
ended the season with a victory over
Yale Saturday 6-3 virtually holds the
American championship for 1911 Prince

mouth and Yale, but won from all
three. On Saturday White, Princeton's
left end, who ran SIS yards for a touch
down against Harvard, repeated the trick
by securing the ball after it was FUN

Princeton and gained on the exchange
of punts. Capt, Howe of Yale tried
repeatedly for goals from field, but only
one of his kicks cleared the uprights,

Advise Young Men to Abstain.

Short articles by DIR. II, d. Hoton and
Attorney c. C. Fits of this town help
make up symposium on the theme,
Would you advise young man starting
out in life to be a total abstainer, and,
If So why?" in the current issue of the
American Issue, the official paper of the
Anti Saloon league. DR.. Holton says:
"A young man must be a total abstain
err in order to make the most of his
life materially and morally. He cannot
achieve the position in the world which
is his right unless he is a total abstainer
For when II becomes apparent that he
has acquired the drink habit, desirable
positions are not open to him. Financial
institutions do not want him business
houses are closed to him, railroads dare
not employ him AS a result the bright,
promising boy, whose friends looked for
a great success in business or profession
al life meets with a bitter dsappoint-
ment." He then shows how the habit is
acquired
Mr.. Fits says: Viewed only from the
standpoint of utility or business ad-
vantage, it can truthfully be said that
there Is no position in which young
man can be called to serve not even
that of bartender, which he is not more
| likely to secure, and far more likely to
retain, If he is a total abstainer," After
! stating that young man is free from
| danger of being hurt by alcohol If he to
| tally abstains, Mr.. Fits continues: H,
Is also far safer from danger of othel
moral deterioration. For the use of al
cholic liquors most generally goes hant
| in hand with other vices The othe
vices may of course be practiced by
total abstainer, but the chances are man.

MoRleuND LAWSUIT REVIVED.
French and Raymond Again at Logger
heads-Endorser Refuses to Pay Note
on Ground Of Alteration.

The French Raymond case, thought to
be dead, is much alive. A six-months
note given in settlement has fallen due
and the endorser has refused to pay,
consequently the gadiators are again
in the arena. The case began several
years ago, in fact it was a combination
of three cases, in which Watson S.
French and Tufield Raymond were the
principals. They agreed to arbitrate
their differences, which was done, each
side putting up a bond of 5000 to abide
by the result. The arbitrator awarded
Raymond something over $780, French
failed to pay and Raymond's counsel,
H. G.. & f. e. Barber, brought suit on
French's bond. which was signed by z.
f. Crown. French then brought a bill
in chancery asking to have the award
set aside, alleging that it was secured
through fraud and perjured testimony on
the part of Raymond. Raymond de-
INJURED to the bill of complaint as be-
ing insufficient and was sustained by
the supreme court, who remanded the
case with the right to file an amended
bill. An amended bill was filed by
French and Raymond again demurred
as to it's sufficency and again was sus-
| tanned by the supreme court
Last February French gave six
months note covering the award and
costs, the total being about $2O6, signed
! by MT. OIONu, anu vi lut SlltuSlll VI
the note and by agreement of parties
the case was entered on the docket as
settled and discontinued When the
note came due French and Crown re-
fused to pay it because the words with
interest were written in. They claim
ed the interineation was made after the
note was issued. Raymond promptly
| brought bill in chancery before Chan
| cellor E. l.. Waterman asking that the
entry of settled and discontinued be
! stricken from the docket and that the
case be brought forward for trial.
| In a recent hearing in the case before
! Chancellor Waterman Miss Ethel
| A. Millington, stenographer in the Bar
Der law office, was the only witness
! She testified that she wrote in the
words with interest" in the note in the
presence of and by direction of attor-
neys for both parties. Chase e. Daley
appeared for French. The hearing was
continued to Monday at which time At
| torney c. S. Chase raised the question
of the jurisdiction of Chancellor Water
man in this case. Chancellor Waterman
/ held that under the rules of the court of
chancery the petition for changing the
entry should come before the presiding
| judge of the last term of county court
The last judge of the county court was
Judge George NJ. Powers of the supreme
court, and a new petition probably will
be brought before him, although Ray
mond has signified a willingness to ac-
cept the face value of the note in set
| tlement.
