CURRENT COMMENT
Foster Was Loyal to Constituents.

The death of Congressman Foster will
be universally regretted throughout the
state, and also in the national capital
and other scenes of his activity. All
did not agree with his manner or meth
DDS, but none will question that he had
other than the best interests of Ver-
mont at heart, and was indefatigable
in promoting what he thought would be
for those interests. His activities We're
such that he was recognized as a yalu
able member of the House, and he oc-
cupied important positions and per-
formed some important missions. He
always was esteemed by the national
executives during his terms of office and
was frequently called TO consult with
President TAFT the past year. His 10y
atty to his constituents cannot be gain
said. and there is no question but that
his demise will be mourned in all sec
tons where he was known. Montpelier
