TRIBUTE TO GOV. cHlrrENDEN
Address Adopted by General Assem-
bly, of 1897.

ny " if9fs
1t will be remembered by persons
familiar with Vermont history that
Governor Thomas Chittenden was de-
feated for reelection in 1889 by Mos
es Robinson owing to some supposed
land irregularities which afteTwdrd
were explained satisfactory. In 1890
Governor Chittenden was again elect
ed and held Office until his death in
summer of 1897.
Among the public papers on file in
the office of the secretary of state
may be found the following address
which was read and adopted in the
General assembly of Vermont, Octob-
er the summer of 1897
ITO the Honorable Thomas Chit
tenden, Esq, Sir: On your exit
from the important office of Cover
nor, which you have so long held by
the united suffrages Of the people of
this State, the Representatives in
General Assembly met, beg leave to
address you, and publicly demon
strate the satisfaction they feel in
your late administration The citiz-
ems of Vermont must contemplate
with pleasure your early and reiter
ated endeavors to establish and
maintain the existence and welfare
of this government and at the same
time feel a grateful sense of the
many and good services you have
rendered them as the supporter
guardian and protector of their civil
liberties.
THE Representatives of the people
of Vermont upon this occasion re-
quest your Honor to accept for your
past services all that a noble and gen
erous mind can give or wish to re-
ceive, their gratitude and warmest
thanks and it is their earnest wish
that in your advanced age and re-
tirement from the arduous task of
public life, you may enjoy all the
blessings of domestic ease, and am,
may it please your honor, by order
and in behalf of the house with the
greatest respect, you most obed't
and most humble serv't.
"(Signed) G.. DIN Speaker
Gideon Olin was one of the most
prominent of the early Vermonters
He was a delegate to the Windsor
convention of June a, l777, a repre-
sentative in the First State Legisla-
ture, and major Of the Second Reg
iment under Col. Herrick His sery-
ice in the General Assembly covered
a period of IA years, during six years
OF which he was speaker.
He was judge of the County courts
for a considerable period and was
Chief Judge from 1907 to 1911, his
term Of service on tho bench cover
ing a period Of % years. He was al
so a member of the Council and was
member of Congress from 1903 to
1907
II is worthy OF note that although
there was much political bitterness
in early contests for Office, the high
respect with which Thomas Chitten-
den was held, led the General AS
sembly to present him the compli-
mentary address which IS given
above. Subsequent events showed
that the old Governor did not care to
lay down the "arduous tasks OF pub
lie life and enjoy the blessings Of
domestic ease

cen as at present is of vital impOr-
lance to the state. The case for the
longer term is well stated by DR.
Sears in the following paragraph:
1t is useless TO send an immoral
girl for a short period TO such an in
stitution and then when she is eight
cen, an age when the passions are
strong and inhibition not yet develop
ed. return to the same old environ
ment TO live over again the same life
and take her next sentence to the
work house. These girls should be
trained until they are tventy-one and
then taken care of by some response
bic charity, or placed in some differ
ent environment where they can have
a chance to make good In present
conditions the returned reform school
girl is considered legitimate prey by
every lecherous loafer on our
streets"
This might be effected by changing
the law, as it has been changed in
other states, so that the age of ma
jority for both man and woman
would be twenty-one, instead of al
lowing women to come of age at
eighteen as under the present non
sensical law But that is a matter
of detail which will work itself out.
The main thing is to realize the need
of a longer supervision over reform
school girls And the sixth sugges-
tion-that an organized effort be
made to help the girls, when they
leave the school, by change of en-
vironment and systematic supervis-
ion-is merely an extension of this
thought.
The third and fifth suggestions are
of practical value relating to the
gathering of information in this field
and the classification of the children.
The fourth suggestion Is that juyen-
lie courts be established whose ses-
siOns shall be closed to the public
and the press. The juvenile court is
in no sense an experiment as it has
been thoroughly tried in other states
and has proved in every case a pre-
tentative of crime and an actual
means of salvation to hundreds of
children.
The seventh recommendation is
perhaps the most interesting of all.
1t calls for a commission to be ap-
pointed by the governor to inquire
into the following reforms: The sex
utilization of suitable cases, the mod
ifcation of the marriage laws to con-
form to the principles of modern
eugenics, a practical method of dis
eliminating between the first often
der and the habitual criminal, the
establishment of a department for
the study of detectives in all penal
institutions What step into the
future such a commission would be!
The governor seems genuinely inter
ested in these problems, and man
of his practical experience will be
quick to see the advantage of hav-
ing a commission to do this work
which it is practically impossible for
one man to do acceptably. We hope
and expect that the governor will ap-
point a commission of this kind in
the near future.
There is so much in each of these
suggestions that we will doubtless
have something to say about them in
later issues. For the present their
mere outline should be food for
thought. Vermont is at present a
good state to live in; our task is to
keep her good.-Burlington Free

An article by Frederick w. Sears,
81. d.. neurologist and psychologist,
10 the penal board OF Vermont which
appears in the Vermont Medical
Monthly, Is a notable contribution to
the welfare OF the state This article
first gives the results of an eXamina-
ton of fifty.fye girls at the state in
dustral school and then proceeds to
offer few suggestions based upon
the findings The increase of the i'm
beetle and criminal elements Of the
population OF late years has been
such in every part or the country as
90 excite widespread discussion.
States everywhere are taking action
TO head off what seems to be a men
ace to civilization and prosperity. In
pointing out to Nermonters the wis
est steps TO take in reducing crime
and preventing the spread OF imbec-
ility this study is particularly yalu-
able Or. Sears deserves the thanks
of Vermonters for giving them the
first scientific investigation OF these
problems
The gist OF the findings seems to
be that physically these ffty-fye
girls at the reformatory were in no
way exceptional And in the matter
of mentality. while the normal ones
were on the whole of a low grade OF
intelicence their defects were not
of a kind to be reached by cranial OPP
erauons or any other OF the spectaeu
lar methods of reforming criminals
about which so much is written now
adays The imbeciles should OF
course be put i'm a class by themsel-
yes. Aside from the imbeciles the
Urls were in sense deficient but
the deficiency lay more in the need
/ of training TO control the passions
and regulate living than in any rad
zeal cerebral defect Because 1t
recognizes this fact and recommends
entirely practical steps TO be taken
the article will appeal to the com
mon sense OF everyday people.
The first of the recommendations
is that Vermont establish school
for detectives. Out of those fifty
I 1--WE girls examined. only forty-nine
per cent were of normal mentality.
Twentyseven per cent were actually
imhecile. while more than twenty
/ three per cent we're out of the narmal

beetles. While only one-lourth the
uormals we're sent to the school for

ancy and practically all the rest be

dren shows clearly enough the need
of separate institution. II is un'
fair TO both classes to lump them to-
gether. And It is unwise for the
state to hesitate to take steps to deal
separately with the general evil OF
imbecility.

girls be committed to the Industrial
school until twenty-one, Just as the
boys now are, instead Of until eight

n MONG the many sensations
~ commanding special attention
in this young season of re-
markable surprises might be men
toned the Boston Red Sox. In fact,
it would not be amiss to shout and
rave about the Speed Boys and of
their Born Manager" Jake Stahl.
For whether ne deserved it or
not. J. Garland Stahl is today about
the biggest man in the worship of
Hub fandom since Jimmy Collins
of 1903 and 1904. Jake has made
good that's all that Boston or any
other city demands, Stahl has
made good where more experienced
managers failed That in itself is
recommendation enough.
Maybe Jake was lucky. There
are instances on record. you know,
where clubs have made regulations
for managers Hughie Jennings
stumbled into big league fame in
1907 When he took charge of the
Tigers that great machine had al
ready been moulded Hugh simply
had to keep 1t in harmonious work
ing order to land three consecutive
pennants. Frank Selee modified
the wonderful Cub machine from
which Frank Chance reaped the
golden shekels and fame. Yet no
one insinuates that either Jennings
or Chance is not good manager.
What these men would ever have
amounted to had they been forced
to build up a tail-ender, however,
is problematic.
Same Club as Last Year.
Stahl's club is just as it was
when Jake took hold of it, with the
exception of Jake There is no de-
nying the fact that this big fell
low has proved a wonderful asset
to the Speed Boys. Neither Jimmy
Callahan nor Mike Donlin has any
thing on the Born Manager" as
come back" Jake hasn't set the
league afire as a hitter, but he sure
has peppered up the whole works
and got every possible ounce of
energy out of the array.
All of which is most re-
markable in the light of ex-
listing conditions 1t is quite
true that the Red Sox form
one of the fastest collections in the
major leagues. But it is also true
that Stahl, as manager, has to
maintain harmony not only in
the ranks but in the boSOms of
the stockholders as we'll Never
was man in more trying position

ident is Jimmy McAleer, an auto
cratic sort of fellow when his inter
ests are at stake. McAleer was one
of the most dismal managerial fail
ures imaginable with the St. Louis
Browns and Washington Nationals,
but you couldn't convince him of
that fact. Naturally, he believes
he was the abused child of circum-
stance. The fact that McAleer is
content to sit back quietly as an
American league magnate is GER
tainly a tribute to the diplomacy of
