Vermont National Guard.

The st. Adams Messenger seys
editorially:
st. Adams may take pardonable
pride this year in its company in the
National Guard regiment, for Cap
tain Pell was the only man to take a
full outfit to the annual encampment
at Fort Ethan Allen"
The citizens have il as duty to
offer the organization all of the sup
port that they can give. This is not
case of support in dollars and
cents, but in something of more
value to the citizen soldier They
should give to the company their
undivided moral support. Citizen
soldiering is difficult enough with
everything going the right way"
The report comes from the camp
at Fort Ethan Allen that the men Of
Co. G., which left Woodstock last
Sunday with nearly fifty men, took
the highest rank, upon physical ex-
animation, of any company in the
regiment. What the Messenger
urges for Co. B may well be urged
for Co. G.. When one hears now and
then the remark, what is the use
of a military company anyway ?"
one cannot help thinking how little
that grumbler appreciates the times
and the duty of the hour when a
trained regiment in Vermont may
mean much to every citizen. We
wish every success to the men of Co.
G of Woodstock.

Some Lack of Confidence.

If the Republican party of YER
mont h as not-been progressive then
no party ever was progressive. 1t is
safe to say that no state in the
Union is freer from graft than Yer
mont and that no state is more eff
ficiently served by it's public Off
cials," says the Montpelier Journal
Coincidently with the birth of a
New Vermont f" and what seems to
be genuine awakening to Vermont's
opportunities all through the state,
after some long years of depressing
Republican dictation }, there come
dissensfons and discords in the Re-
publican party of the state and a
very active opposition from it's de-
sorting ranks following mighty
loud chorus of dissatisfaction with
things as they have been done here
tofore. The people don't like the
I" old crowd, and they say so, and
there are wholesome indications
that they will vote as they talk. The
Age hopes so.
Vermont Republication lays great
stress upon its record. but in view
Of the appalling lack of confidence
in it there must be something wrong
in the administrations of former
years. Has Republicanism straight
uncompromisinR, dictatorial Repub-
licanism - kept Vermont up OF
down; and if it has been efficient
why is not the party still united,
strong and sweeping everything be-
fore it?
Vermont Republicans may be
waking up but they are late in OPEN
ing their eyes. They have wasted
good many opportunities to do some
thing for the moral and economic J
improvement of the state. To in
surgency alone is due the repeal of
the prohibition farce, and this one
progressive overturn in fifty years
was fought tooth and nail by the |
old timers, the makers of the cher
ished record upon which an APP
peal is now made to the people, who
pre very much awake. !

Saturday was the last day for filing
nominations with the secretary of
state and his office in the state
house at Montpelier was busy
place. The second district congress
sional nominee was not filed until
late in the day and there was some
scurrying about to locate the trouble.
1t was found that the ticket had been
mailed to Secretary G. w. Bailey at
his Office at Essex Junction.
Five state tickets are fled to be
placed on the official ballot at the
September election, the Republican.
Democratic, Prohibition, Socialist
and Progressive
The Progressive ticket has 700
signers, which is more than the num-
Der required by law, which would be
$40 names or one per cent. of the
total vote cast at the last election
The largest list is FLED from Ran
dolph, the homo town of Rev. Frazer
Meter, the candidate for governor,
and upwards of 1875 names Of citi-
zens of Randolph and vicinity are on
tue papers. Bethel is very conspicu-
GUS by it's absence, there being only
two or three signers from that town,
sprinkled among Randolph Pro-
gressives.

a SAFE SAVINGS BANK.

During its more than twcnty-three
years of existence, the Hyde Park
Savings Bank never lost dollar by
a poor note, a poor stock or poor
bond.
This can only mean that its
managers possess great conservatism,
excellent Judgment and paiustaking
care.
1t means a close adherence to the
motto of the bank from its start,
namely: ''Safety first, last and
always" 4" high rates of interest

Deposits in this bank receive 4
per cent, interest, compounded semi
annually, with all the taxes paid by

THE DRAINAGE CONGRESS THIS
WEEK.

An idea of the magnitude of the
task undertaken by the national
drainage congress, the next session of
which is to be held in New Orleans
on April 10 to IS. may be obtained
from the fact that the total area in
need of attention is 225,000,000 acres.
Of this 100000 acres are swamps,
While 150,O00.OO0 acres are of lands
the production of which, according to
the department of agriculture, would
be increased at least 90 per cent by
drainage. Taking this acreage alto
gether, it is equal TO the area of Ger
many, the British Isles. Belgium and
Holland combined and under eulti-

GEORGIA SHOULD TURN TO UN-
DERWOOp.

For many many weeks previous 10
the time for anticipating democratic
candidates Tor the presidency, The
News mas looked with favor upon Gov
ernor Judson Harmon OF Ohio. II
believed at that time-and it still
believes - that Governor Harmon
would make the people Of the nation
an deal president. His achievements
for the democracy in his own state
hest Illustrate his fitness for the serv-
ice involved in the presidency. For
that and for other reasons we have
advocated the nomination of Governor
Harmon, and while our opinion has
not changed in tEe slightest as to
his ability, his character, or his
equipment for the ofieo, Fwe believe
that complex condition existing just
at this time inseeorgia makes it the
art Of wisdom that the people of
the state should vote FOR the Honor
able Oscar Underwood of alabama, In
the presidential primary to be held
on May /. Not so much upon the the.
DRY that Underwood is a Southern
man, for long, lonssaso MS. have come
to regard that Sort of argument as
being ridiculous. but sileFis the man
who at this time is logical; if the
tariff is to be the dominant issue it
might be conceded that Underwood
is the best student Of that great ques-
ton IT. the party; he is man OF
rich experience, high purpose, rare
ability and unquestioned integrity and
as 10 his candidacy and that Of Gov
arnor Wilson, the only two men who
are making theafght in Georgia, we
must select as betweenatise dignifed
student of the economics and the
radical progressive theory Of the man
who would write into the laws of the
country the dangerous referendum and
recall!
Now that the Harmon forces in
Georgia are making no fight, vote
for Governor Harmon would be vote
for Governor Wilson, therefore, under
all he circumstance and in view of
the situation from the standpoint of
democratic success, democratic har-
mony and demoeratic advantage. it
is our honest and SINCERE opinion that
the greatest good to the. greatest
number of Georgia democrats will be
achieved if on May 1.-the people NOM
mate Underwood delegates to the
Baltimore convention. So, if in our
humble way We can contribute any
thing to that cause between now and
the LIST of May it shah be our pleas
ure 10 do so andwe trnststhe people
of this section OF. the state will see
the situation in the light We haze thus
attempted to portray it, for we are
actuated by motives which we hold
to oe for the best interest of the
democrats in general and of the
Georgia democrats in specific.
