By failure to adopt the House lobby
bill, the Senate confessed itself in favor
of the gum-shoe advocacy Of measures,
as against open and straightforward
support or opposition to bills which come
before the Vermont legislature Ii a
measure is right, its sponsors ought to
be willing to stand up and be known as
its sponsors. To make them known was
the purpose of the bill just killed by
the Senate, Likewise, it was intended
to use the law to tag the sponsors of
bills which might be inimical to the
states welfare. But the Senate spoiled
it all.

SUNLIGHT IN MONTPELIER.

What, move the State House from
Montpelier? Why try to raise the old
question from the dead? The capital
of Vermont is now so well rooted and
grounded in Montpelier that it would
be next to impossible to tear the thing
up, even though the sun didn't shine in
Montpelier more than fifteen minutes
a day during the winter. But the Ben
nington Banner, in recommending the
removal of the State House to Benning-
ton, does an injustice to Montpelier.
The sun may not penetrate State street
in Montpelier more than two hours day
in winter, as the contemporary states;
but you must remember that Montpelier
is spreading out of the narrow valley

L'Envoi Of Love Letters.

When earth's last love note is written
and the ink is blotted and dried,
When the Oldest lover has vanished and
the youngest sweetheart has died.
We shall rest, and, faith! we shall need
title down for an hour or two
Till the masters of loving missives
shall set lis to work anew.
And those who wrote well shall be
happy; they shall sit ina satin
chair,
They shall write a deluxe edition of odes
TO an angels hair.
They shall find real loves to write to-
Rebecca, and Dorcas, and Ruth
They shall work for an age at an sit
ting, and never say more than the
truth,
And only the master shall praise us, and
only the master shall blame;
And none shall propose for money, and
none shall make love for fame
But each for the joy Of loving, and each
in his separate star,
Shall write to tine girl he loves truly,
his thoughts as they really arel

BEGGING CONCERNS AND OTHERS.

A furniture factory employing 70
workmen declares it would like to move
to Rutland Provided the company
doesn't want Rutland to furnish the
site, exempt from taxation for twenty
years, build several sidetracks, pay the

things, it might pay Rutland to welcome
the industry, There are so many wan
dering concerns seeking fresh fields ey-
cry few years that community is often
times better of to let them alone. Per-
haps the concern which is knocking at
Rutland's door is of different calibre
and is honestly seeking better accommo-
dations for turning out its product In
that case, it deserves courteous treat
ment and it's proposal merits serious
consideration. Of course it goes with
out saying that the proposition viii be
investigated, because the addition OF an
industry employing u hands and bring.
ing many families to the city would
be worth a great deal, and after the
investigation the Rutland Improvement
league will be able TO Judge whether it
is best to continue the negotiations. But
the other class of importuning industries
should be given setback which will
prevent their imposing further on the
good nature Of cities which are ambi-
tious to grow. They really are nothing
but bloodsuckers on the industrial life,
giving little or nothing and taking
great deal out of the community.

Praise for Our Ladies

Standpoint has, SO far as we are aware,
no club devoted to the work of civic i'm
proyement. though the Women's Club
has done some very good work along
these lines. It seems to us. however.
that the work is important enough to
have club or society devoted whole
heartedly to its cause. and in this con-
nection the city of Newport, just over
the line in Washington, provides US
with an object-lesson much more to the
point than pages of discussion.
The ladies OF that place recently or
ganized Civic Improvement Club ''to
promote the beautifying of the town" F"
and one direction in which they have
been doing effective work has been that
of interesting the school children in the
destruction of the weed pests. A con-
test was instituted between the school
children of the several grades, and it
proved so successful in the extermina-
ton of MULLEN. burdock and thistle that
the club will next declare war on the

Regarding Fish

No license is required to fish in the
state of Washington, but a fisherman
who is found with fish less than six
inches long in his possession is liable to
prosecution. "The last session of the
legislature failed to pass law requiring

den for Spokane county, in discussing
the open season. Amy kinds of fish
may now be caught, but those under
elk inches in length must be returned to

NEWPORT MADE A GREAT FINISH
Newport Ball Team Rallied ant
Won Out.
Team is Playing Very Classy Ball

The most exciting baseball situation
of the season developed Sunday after
noon, when the Newport team rallied in
their game with the Phoenix Lumber
Co., tied the score in the ninth and won
out in the eleventh. to 4.
The game did not promise we'll at the
beginning. The Phoenix boys scored
four runs in the second inning, after
they should have been shut out. Errors
and wild throws on the part of our boys
did the work. But the Phoenix did not
soar again.
The game progressed until the fifth.
when Tommy Judge came to bat and
made clean home run, but there was
no one on bases to profit by the big hit
into the timber belt. The Newport fell
lows kept hitting the ball, but developed
an unfortunate propensity for popping
it into the air, and those Phoenix fellows
sure did a good fielding stunt and were
always on deck when the ball came
down. In the sixth we got another run,
after losing bv stupid base running a
swell chance to carry off the game. In
the eighth we got another. In the ninth,
with two men on bases and two out,
Paine, who is just recovering from a
case of measles and was warming the
bench, could not stand the strain any
longer and went in to bat. Before he
got his eve two strikes were called on
him, and the situation became heart
breaking. But on the third strike he
connected for safe drive over second
and scored the tie run. and the big crowd
went wild with enthusiasm and rejoic-
ing.
For two more innings the crowd was
kept in suspense. Finally Klinger hit
one into the brush, bringing in two runs
for Newport and closing the game.
The Newport team was badly handi-
capped by the absence from the game of
Sandy Judge and Paine. two of our best
hitters. Judge sprained his ankle while
practicing before the game, and Paine
was kept out until the ninth on account
of his recent encounter with the measles.

VALLEY IS RICH IN RESOURCES
Spokane Estimate of the Pend
Oreille Valley.
Is Rapidly Moving To the Front.

The Spokesman Review on Monday
reviewed the progress of the Pend Oreille
valley and it's resources as follows:
Among the significant developments
of the new Spokane" is the steady
opening up of rich country tributary to
the Empire City, and its settling up
through established industries and agrl-
culture. One of the most important
feeders Of Spokane today is the Pend

ordinary development through railroad
and private enterprise.

nearly 2,5OO,O00 pounds. or 1850 tons,
per month. When one considers that
very large proportion of this freight
represents Spokane-made merchandise,
and practically all of it goods purchased
through Spokane houses, the impor-
tance of this tributary country becomes
apparent.
The timber resources of the valley are
themselves estimated to be sufficient to
run the mills for 80 years, while the
steady building up of ranching and man.
ufacturing assures a steadily growing
market for Spokane merchandise, based
on a solid commercial foundation.

Will Organize Republican Committee

Shortly after the organization of the
new county on June 10. steps will be
taken to organize Republican central
committee for Pend Oreille county. The
plan suggested for Organization is to
have Charles Adams, chairman of the
Stevens county Republican central com.
mittee. call a meeting of the precinct
committeeman of the new county. to
meet at Newport, for the purpose of se.
lecting chairman, secretary and execu-
tive committee. Also to name at state
com mitteeman.
While there will he no political cam
paign until 1912, it is deemed best to
perfect the party organization. as mat
ters demanding it's attention may come
up at any time. especially the appoint
ment of state committeeman, which
should be done at once. as there is a
vacancy in the Office of national COM
mitteeman from this state, which the
state committee will soon be called upon
to fill.
