esting speaker. Mr.. Gilcreast is no
stranger to the Vermont membership
and his address was listened to with
great attention for few members of
the order hold a warmer place with
the membership than he. Then
State Councillor Jeffrey told of his
first visit to the great National Or
phans' Home in Ohio and in a most
pleasing way introduced Superinten-
dent Herman as the "Oficial Daddy"
of all our babes. Mr.. Herman proved
to be a great speaker with most
interesting topic and at times the
audience rose to it's feet and cheered
the speaker and the great institu-
ton of which he is the head. 1t
was a splendid tribute to Mr.. Ker-
nan, who had come from Ohio at
the invitation of the state councillor,
especially for this meeting, return
ing at a. m, Friday. After the
speakers had finished the program,
the state councillor called for a hat
to be passed for contribution for
the children at the home and $48.21
was given.
The banquet given at Hotel Lyn-
don was attended by 81 of the Off
GERS and members and was a success
in every particular. This concluded
the entire program of what was the
greatest single day in the history of
the Order in this state.

they desire to practice. The Sher-
man law has been put through all
these slow and vexaticus tests and
proven effective and valid. Its de-
feat or change would give years of
opportunity for illegallty to flourish
the same as it fourished in years
gone by under the present statute.
To abandon it now or condemn it
because certain men say it is inef-
fective would be playing completely
into the hands of those who wish to
ply the methods that it prevents. A
vote for Roosevelt for president
would help bring this about while a
vote for Taft will mean the continu-
ed application OF the only law yet
devised to prevent the abuse of
might and give protection to the
weaker members of our business life

A Scenic State Highway

Of course many schemes will be
suggested at the coming session of
the legislature that will require ap-
propriations from the state treas
ury and many of them cannot be
granted. But we would like TO sug-
gest an appropriation not to exceed
SIS, 900 for the construction OF an au-
tomobile highway through Smugglers
Notch in the towns of Stowe and
Cambridge. Smugglers Notch fur
nishes as fine scenic effects as any
spot in this country and with the
exception of a few miles through the
woods and Notch itself is already
accessible for automobiles. 1t is
probable that the road through the
present impossible stretch would
cost from $4,000 to $4,000. The
two towns mentioned could not
build this roadway themselves and
would not receive enough benefit to
warrant them in mourning such an
Expense. But the scenic effects of the
place are an attraction that should
be open to every resident of the
state and all visitors who come into
Vermont. 1t would draw thousands
of automobiles and advertise the
scenic attractions of the state in an
effective manner. Therefore we
suggest that the state offer definite
amount of aid to the two towns and
open to every automcbilist seeking
Vermont's best attractions an OPP
portunity TO enjoy this magnificent
scenery and to spread its fame
through every section from which a
tourist can be drawn. 1t would be as
good advertising as any money used
for publicity could buy.

creased s1s1,OOO,OO0, or 40 per
cent.
Mr.. Taft might have acquiesced in
this increase, relying on the pre-
cedent of 20 years, but he did not.
He set himself about to put the bus
mess affairs of the government on
a more, economical basis. Without
in any way interfering with the eff
cheney of the administration, the
president has not only checked the
annual increase in expense of about
$35, 100000, but has brought about
an actual reduction, the cost of
running the government having been
cut down from 1852, 100000 to
1854, 100000 And the deficit of
$5S, 100000 in the last year of the
Roosevelt administration has been
turned to a surplus of 100000
in the last year of Mr.. Taft's first
term.
These figures ought to appeal to
the intelligent voters of the United
States, no matter of what party, for
they represent efficiency in the con-
duct of public business.-[Omaha

Good Exhibits at the Grange Fair
A Russian Cane at Show


The Grange fair here on Saturday
was we'll attended in spite of the in
clemency of the weather. The ex-
hibits although not as numerous as
usual were nevertheless worthy Of
mention. Some of the finest in the
hall were brought by Rev. and Mrs.
Bole. A Russian cane brought by
Harrison Chase was a curiosity, also
a wooden chain by Mr.. Lovejoy
Several other exhibits in the hall
were very interesting and there was
some very cleverly made embroid-
cry by different ladies as well as a
considerable number of cans Of
fruit which did credit to the women
j. H. McLoud and Co.'s booth of
