knew her.
The love, the purity and the good
ness of this life so suddenly de-
parted, has not ceased but Is still
living in grander sphere of devel-
opement. The legacy of her Christ
ian character is n treasure all will
cherish and love. Tressie lived not
in vain; such IA life In deathless.

there will never be another short

demand of the people for new and
progressive legislation is urgent.
-Four subjects claimed and re
ceived close attention" he said
mainly education, agriculture, auto
mobiles and tourists and good roads.
Up to this time the tourists simply
pass through the State and what
money they spend is paid out on the
trip. We must in larger measure
than heretofore make II an object for
tourists to make longer stops; Tor
people without the State to make theli
summer homes in the state; for
business men TO come into the State
and make their homes here. and for
farmers and sons and daughters to
remain on the farms.
Here are four classes OF people
whom Vermont shall constantly have
in mind. With wise legislation and
wiser effort of our people to lodge in
The public mind the advantages and
opportunities which the State offers,
the resources which she possesses,
and the benefits which she can be-
stow, in respect of all our interests,
a new Vermont will soon come into
