1t has taken some time to persuade
public opinion in this state that such
a change should be made, and some
of our fellow citizens are not alto
gether convinced of 1t yet. But the
people of the state, as whole, appear
to be pretty thoroughly satisfied now
to have Vermont fall into line with al
most all the other states of the Union
because nothing but a sentimental
reason can be adduced for standing
by the September election plan, and
several very practical reasons can
be summoned against it.-St Adams
Messenger
The Banner believes that the vot-
ers themselves should decide this
question as well as others in relation
to amendment to the constitution and
that 1t was and is the duty of the
legislatures to give the people every
opportunity to settle their own ques-
tons, but we reserve the right to
vote against 1t at the final decision.
The less we mix up state affairs with
national politics the less we shall
have to regret.

FRANK e. HOWE, Editor and 1Pub'r.

Edwin A. Mutt OF Montpelier, one Of
the best known newspaper writer's of
the state died Monday after short
illness. He has been newspaper

wards of thirty years and no man In
Washington county perhaps was as
we'll known and generally liked. II Is
hard for his friends to realize that he
Is no more. Everybody knew him as
Ed Mutt, from the prattling children
on the street to the oldest inhabitant
and he was the only newspaper man
we ever knew who never seemed to
make an enemy. Although frequently
offered editorial positions he always
declined preferring the news writing
part of the game in which he had few
equals. He was master OF good
English and could take a miscellane-
Gus lot of facts and put them into
readable story quicker than any 9TH
CT man in the state. Few men could
turn out as much work in a given
time as Ed Mutt During the last
session OF the legislature he was one
of the official reporters of the House,
had charge of covering the session
for the Burlington Free Press and
did large share of the work himself
and at the same time was doing daily
a large amount OF work for the Bos-
ton Globe. We have no doubt that
his hard work during this session had
much to do with the fatal termination
of his illness. Mr.. Nuts facility as
writer of good English extended to
command Of the same on the platform
and his services as a speaker were
much sought He was genial COM
panion, faithful friend, good citi-
zen and an honest man. Few men
there are who have deserved more of
esteem than he and no one will be
more sincerely mourned.

No ArmorIes for TWO Years.

The last Legislature passed a law
which permitted the construction
of armories to be used by companies
of the Vermont National Guard. The
law, however, carries several condi-
tons. One is that the towns where
|armories are located must pay at
least 20 per cent of the cost of con-
struction and another is that the ex-
pense the state is at shall be paid
from the general appropriation for
the military department. Many in
Guiding the adjutant general, suppos-
ed that the Legislature had made
special appropriation of $4,000 for
the military department. The records
show that such bill was drafted but
1t did not become law. The expense
of the military department has always
been paid from the appropriation for
the executive department The APP
preparation for this department was
increased by the Legislature from
5000, 900 for the biennial period to
$225,0O0 The adjutant general be-
lieved that $4,000 could be set aside
from the executive appropriation for
the military department. Could this
have been done an armory could have
been built this year probably.
In letter to f. II. Babbitt, chair.
man of the Bellows Falls armory com.
mittee, the adjutant general says
THE Attorney General has advised
the Board of Armory Commissioners
that by reason of the fact that nc
separate appropriation was made fol
the military department by the Legis
lature there is no money available fol
the construction 81 armories at the
present time. The appropriation fol
the military department which was
included in the general appropriation
measure as originally drawn by the
auditor was stricken out late on the
last day of the session without my
knowledge. The decision of the At
torney General will probably make /
impossible to begin the construction
of armories until after the next SEES
sion of the Legislature"
This means that Vermont will no
, go into the armory business for a
: least two years. At the annual tow
!, meeting Rockingham and Bennington
voted each $4,000 for an armory an,
Brattleboro voted $4,000 to be avail
able after April /, 1912. These ar
the only towns in the state that tool
any action. Had funds been avail
able this year Bennington and ROCK

THE COTTON INDUSTRY.

Alexander Hamilton Foresaw Its I'M
portanee In This Country.
There exists In the archives of one
of the oldest among the cotton spin.
ming families In northern New Jersey
a long letter from banker OF New
York addressed to Alexander Hamilton
when he was secretary Of the treasury.
The banker had heard that Hamilton
purposed to build cotton mill at Pat
erson. N j. This project the banker
condemned and stated that 1t was the
opinion of all the merchants In New
York whom he knew that not in hun
dred years would the cotton milling
business in the United States employ
200.
Hamilton went ahead and planned
the industrial town he named Paterson
and also planned and financed a COM
pany for developing a water power and
for financing corporations thereat.
Hamilton's original company, known
as the Society For Useful Manufac-
lures, exists to this day at Paterson.
The agent when Hamilton sent to
England TO buy cotton mill machinery
was instructed to have 1t knocked
down" and placed in small boxes that
were to be marked bibles For the
Moravians of Pennsylvania" 1t was
at that time against the laws OF Eng
land to ship any kind of industrial ma
chinery out of the kingdom Hamil-
toms brother and two Of his agents
were caught trying to ship the cotton
mill machinery to Paterson, and they
were imprisoned for ten months.-Cot

GEN. STANLEY WILLIAMS DEAD
succumbs to Wounds Received In Fa-

Mexicali, Mexico, April 11-General
Stanley Williams, who was wounded
on Saturday, when his little. force of
so engaged the entire eighth battalion
of the Mexican army. died Sunday in
an improyised hospital established by
the American troops at Calexico.
II was case OF do or die with
Williams. for, unlike others OF the
rebel army. there was no sanctuary
for him in the United States. Will
liams was a former quartermaster-
sergeant in the United States army,
and faced trial for desertion If he was
caught on the American side.
Most of Williams men are mere
youths but all are heavily armed and
have four or five belts of extra car
tridges. AS they marched out of
Mexico their bearing indicated that
the former American army soldier
had not been drilling them in vain
during the last few weeks. They
walked erect and in military order.
