WENDELL PHILLIPS STAFFORD.
A Highly Appreciatiye Article From

The Boston Herald of last Wednes-
day under the heading ''In the Pub
lie Eye" made the following COM
ment on Judge w. P. Stafford of
Washington:
Few who heard Judge Wendell
Phillips Stafford of the supreme
court of the District of Col
UNI ia, speak last night at
the Park street church on the
character of the man whose name he
bears, could fail to be impressed by
the extent to which the speakers
life and tastes and aspirations had
been Influenced by those of his pat
ron saint. A poor boy, reared on a
Vermont farm, and working his way
through preparatory schools and a
professional course at Boston Uni
versity, Stafford has been thoroughly
earnest in all things. Many of the
elder of his hearers thought that he
spoke much as Phillips did, and
when he came to describe Phillips
type of oratory and how he put the
Did bombast to shame with his grace
full and forceful diction, hearers
could not help thinking of the char
acteristics as a public speaker of the
man on the platform before them.
Judge Stafford, although a native
of conservative Vermont, a social
ed federal office-holder, and a repub-
lican, did not hesitate to avow some
rather radical doctrines. He thinks
the objection to the initiative and
the referendum is the old grasp OF
toryism, in its distrust of popular
rule. He rejoices, as Phillips would
rejoice, in the six equal suffrage
stars on the flag. In reviewing the
course of events since Philips dealt
the speaker said that while we hao
not caughtup with him, we were ION
his TRAIL Perhaps the most curl
Gus thing which Judge Stafford re-
called was Phillips telling the schoo
children of Boston in 1865 that the
telegraph was nothing; that if he
should live 40 years he believed he
could communicate without wires,
and that messages could thus be
transmitted, two at a time, and in
opposite directions Marconi came
along almost 40 years after that ad-
dress,
The Washington judge is a singu-
lafly effective public speaker. 1t is
no wonder that his services are

casions. He was the orator of the

Orleans County.

Apropos to the excellent sugges-
ton of the ST. Johnsbury Caledonian
that each paper in Vermont have
something to say during Thanksgiv-
ing week about the advantages or
opportunities in their respective sec
tions the Monitor notes briefly three
fields in Orleans county that demand
development and will no doubt, re-
suit in good returns for money in
vested.
First, let us note the oft-mention-
ed field here for summer business.
Orleans county has more lakes and
ponds of beauty than any other
county in the state and is so situat-
ed that it can command handsome
trade with proper hotel accommo-
dations There is little doubt in the
minds of those VINO have studied the
question thoroughly but there is a
rich local field in this line.
Second, there are the asbestos and
other mineral deposits in the Miss
isquoi river valley that, with the
coming of the new railroad, will
yield prudent investors handsome
profits on their money. There can

PRESS COMMENT
ITO Advertise Vermont.

Speaking of booming Vermont the
st. Johnsbury Caledonian is led to
suggest that the editor of each Yer
mont newspaper in his Thanksgiv-
ing issue publish something about
that which he considers the best
opportunity for investment and de-
velopment in his town or county.
After this has been done then does
The Caledonian further purpose that
all newspapers that can do so pub
blish all the articles that may ap-
pear.
The idea is good one, for what
will advance the welfare of one town
will advance the welfare of the en-
tire state. The larger White River
Junction becomes, as a trading cen
tire, the more varied its commercial
interests, and thea more people that
come to live within it's town limits
the better will be the material
welfare of all the people and
interests in all that territory of
which it is the natural centre. As
a help to this growth and to impart
information respecting the opportu-
mites that abound in White River
Junction, The Landmark will say
that an urgent present need is a
department store of the most modern
and comprehensive type. The peo-
pie for miles around come to White
River Junction to trade, it's out of
town patrons are of continuously in
creasing numbers and to the end
that all this may not only continue
but keep on increasing, new factors
of trade must be added without ces-
sation. A down to date department
store has every chance to prosper
and expand here in White River
Junction.
and development the one paramount
need is the, removal of the county
seat from Woodstock to White Riv-
er Junction. Such realization would
infuse new life and vigor in all sec
lions Of the county, which today has
1000 less population than it had
80 years ago, and only seven men in
each 100 in the county attend
church, and we fear this condition
will continue as long as the shire
town is Woodstock. A man to get
to Woodstock must first come to
White River Junction, and in view
of this fact then it is but the part
of wisdom to have the county seat
here. There is utter lack of COM
munity of interest between Wood
stock and the other towns of the
county, while as between White Riv-
er Junction and all other towns of
the county there is the same warm,
harmonious, and cheering heart
beat.-lThe Landmark.

Christmas for the Poor.

Nearly 200 little tin banks
have been placed in the stores and
homes of st. Johnsbury to collect
funds during the next three weeks
for the Christmas work of the Sal
walton Army.
Arrangements are already under
way for an entertainment and
Christmas tree for all poor children
of st. Johnsbury. Also to provide
dinners for poor and unfortunate
families. Although employment
this year is better than formerly and
there will be less restitution than
in past years, yet there have been
a number of applicants who through
sickness or other unfortunate cir
cumstances are in need. Some have
already been relieved with garments
and food. People who are found
worthy of help the officials are
ready to serve.
We would appreciate the names
and addresses of people whom they
can visit and relieve in any way.

Postal Savings Bonds.

Public announcement is made by
the postoffice department that de-
positors in the postal savings system
may exchange the whole or part
of the deposits on January 1, 1912
for government bonds in denOmina-
lions of 20, 100, and 500 dollars.
These bear interest at the rate of 2 II
per cent. per annum payable semi
annually. These bonds are exempt
from all taxes in any form and are
both registered and coupon. Appli-
cations for the conversion of de-
posts into bonds must be received
before Dec. Is at the Office where
the certificates were issued. Deposits
thus converted into bonds are not
counted as a part of the maximum
of $500 allowed one depositor and
there is no limit on the amount of
these bonds which may finally be
acquired by any depositor. These
bonds can be procured only by the
conversion of postal savings de-
posits and will not be issued to per-
sons not now depositors. Interest
on the coupon bonds is collected by
means of interest coupons while the
registered bonds are payable only
to the person to whom issued and
the interest on these is paid by
check. Further particulars con-
corning the postal savings bonds
may be obtained at the ST. Johns
bury pOstOffice.

Published elsewhere in this issue
are the editorials written by Yer
mont editors in response to the sug-
gestion of The Caledonian that they
advertise their own community in

ton to Vermont's advantages in a
way that should bring results. We
believe the editors have done their
community a real service.

be little doubt of this in view of the
ever increasing demand for asbestos
products and the United States re-
port, after careful investigation, de-
clares that the deposits of asbestos
in and about Lowell are the best in
the United States.
Third, there is the development of
the granite business in and about
Barton. Every indication from the
first points to the conclusion that
there is an unlimited quantity of
granite of various qualities, shades
and adaptabilities in the mountains
surrounding this section. Outside
parties already have the itching for
this property that indicates a general
awakening in the near future that
will put our granite deposits on the
map.
These three fields of larger oppor-
tunities present themselves to the
Monitor at once in Orleans county.
There are no doubt many other

water power developments, manufac-
turing industries, etc. Would that
those of our county who dabble in
stocks, could see the light, and with
the same amount of money, worry,
loss and achievement that they find
in their present game, make our To-
cal industries and undeveloped re-
sources flourish and grow in a
manner undreamed of by the most
timistic.-[Orleans County Mon

Advertising Vermont.

One of the best ways to advertise
a town is to start something and
then work to have it a success.
The corn show holden today and
tomorrow in Windsor will work a
great deal of good in the matter of
placing this town in the front rank
of Vermont towns which are making
an effort to keep in the public eye.
We have always noticed that
towns which never have anything Of
a public nature soon get to be
dead towns, They suffer as do
individuals who get into rut and
never make any attempt to get out.
To say that the first statewide
corn show ever held in Vermont was
held in Windsor is saying something
noteworthy. We are town with a
long span of splendid history behind
US. Now let's go ahead and make
some more history.
Hundreds Of active boys and
girls are growing every day in our
midst and Immediate vicinity who
need an inspiration. Such things as
the corn show will give them one. 1t
will stimulate a desire to acquire a
farm some day upon which they can
dig out the problems of agriculture
horticulture and forestry, since
these three factors as never before in
America, are now being safeguarded
and cultivated.
To our mind the holding of the
corn show should prove, as an edu-
Gator, considerably more than an or
binary county fair, where there is
such a diversity of products. With
one product specialized upon, vast
amount Of useful information can be
diffused.
We can readily see why farming
in Vermont has grown unpopular
and we believe that the continued
practice of giving expositions of a
character relating to the profitable
side of farming, will bring it into
popularity.
In the first place, for several
years past, the education of youth
has been false. There has never
been enough observation-disclosures exer-
cised by older people toward young
folks to inculate in the latter the
necessity of being a producer and a
developer, in short a pioneer in in
dustrial activity.
A movement is now on foot in Yer
mont to give the boys and girls
some practical education and those
who take advantage of it will reap
rich reward as they grow in years

A PLEA FOR DEBOER.
Written by Minneapolis Subscriber
OF The CaIedonian.
Nov. rs, 1911.

Nov. 25, 1911.
Editor of The Caledonian:
| have just now read an article
in the last issue of your paper re-
lating to the next Governotorial
election in Vermont, and inasmuch
as | am a native of that state and
as such much interested in it's peo-
pie, have considered it not improp-
er to briefly express my views as to
the candidates
l have known Mr.. DeBoer for a
long time and believe him to be one
of that class of able men that from
time immemorial have represented
that state, not only as governors,
but in the legislative halls of the ma
ton as well. Vermonters are scat
tered all over the country and many
of them are deservedly occupying
positions of honor, and 1 am sure
that they are anxious that the ban
ner of Vermont shall be carried
near the front rank in the nation.
There are no doubt, others in the
state who would represent it very
creditably, but none who, in my
judgment, would out-rank Mr.. De-
BOer.
Very truly yours,
HENRY G.. BELDEN.

Good Example of Town Spirit.

Although Thanksgiving is passed
we take pleasure in reproducing a
part of an article written by Ex-Gov.
Jordan of New Hampshire in re-
Spouse to an invitation from the edi-
tor of the Coos County Democrat
printed at Lancaster. The ex-gov-
ernor closed his article with these
words
We give thanks, too, that our town
is SO clean, morally and physically;
that our boys and girls are bright
and keen, and decently behaved !;
that we have so little bad and so
much good in the community; that
the new church edifice is nearly
ready for services so that all in town
will be able to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of their con-
sciences; that ere long our school
children will be gathered in from
the byways to commodious quarters,

ing at that. So it might naturally be
cept the opportunity to reply to his
distinguished critic. But he has not
done so. On the contrary he out
lines his plan for the remainder OF
the trust problem.
His tariff policy will be to protect
business from mere guesswork tariff
tinkering and to make changes only
as the best available information is
before u.s. That of course means
upon information gained by the tariff
board. Tariff reductions on the
wooden, cotton and possibly the met
al schedules, founded on the report
of the tariff board, will be recon-
mended by him. He desires legis-
lation for the development of Alaska
without infringement on the broad
policy of conservation and the ratif1-
cation of the arbitration treaties, al
so the fiscal treaties with Honduras
and Nicaragua. After speaking of
the tendency to charge every act
of his to some political purpose he
closed the interview as follows:
L am very grateful for the hon
ors the people have given me. 1 do
not affect to deny the satisfaction
should feel if, after casting up the
totals pro and con, and striking a
balance, they should decide that my
first term had been fruitful enough
of good to warrant their enlisting
me for an other. ANY man would be
proud of such a verdict.
But l have not been willing, nor
shall 1 be, to purchase it at a sacri-
flee of my freedom to do my duty
as I see it. My happiness is not de-
pendent on holding any office, and 1
shall go back to private life with no
heartburnings if the people, after an
unprejudiced review of my admins
tration, conclude that someone else
can serve them to their greater ad-
vantage"
The courageous and rational pos
ton our president has taken cannot
fail to win him respect and increase
confidence in him.
