Assembly Bill No. 20

After a gallant struggle for life As
sembly bill No. 20 was finally strang-,
led in the senate, but truth crushed
to earth will rise again, and the end
is not yet. a peculiar combination Of
circumstances killed the bill One
senator had promised a lady steno-
grapher in Tonopah t. vote against
the bill before he understood the bill,
and of course he had to keep his
word. Then We must take off our
hats TO c. II. Mcintosh. who bet a
hat he could defeat the bill, and by
using his influence as state chairman
he was able to Gel a few votes
against the bill. Senators Jones. Mil
Ter and Carpenter, all favorable to
the bill, were absent. As it was we
are pleased to inform the State Edi-
torial Association that Senators Bell,
Balzar. Corycll, Dolf, Gault, Mills
and Fulmer voted for the bill Such
well known attorneys as cN-j Judge
Sweeney, u. S. District attorney
Piatt, Attorney General Thatcher,
anG Mr.. Forman. chairman Of the
judiciary committee OF the assembly,
favored the bill in its amended form.
The hardest blow given the bill dur
ing its discussion was when Senator
Chaplin arose and stated that he was
a newspaper man and against the
bill. The judges OF the supreme court
in a written opinion have asked that
the present law be repealed. The
statement is made that the proposed
law will increase the expense OF liti-
cation. which is untrue. II would. in
reality, cheaper and make uniform

THE PERFECT STATURE
President Bentons Theme to Unlver

Burlington, Sept. 24:--
The opening exercises OF the 123rd
year since the chartering of the Uni
versity of Vermont were held in the
college gymnasium this morning.
President Guy Potter Benton's theme
for his third annual opening address
to students and faculty was The
Perfect Stature" This address was

which is the largest in the history of
the institution. From incomplete reg

or these fcrty are women. There
will probably be twenty men in the
first year medical class.
President Benton said in part
Il speak to college students, the
class to which, above all others, the
great outside world of vexing prob
lens may look with nope. Your pos
sibilities constitute the measure of
your responsibility, and where shall
we look for men and women st'iving
after full moral stature, if not to
you? | know students grow faint as
they face the long tedious years of
preparation required by the curri-
culm, but these years of obscurity
and toll are the souls golden era of
accumulation. If there be stored
up now the reserve power necessary
for the demands of the years to
come, the future days of active life
will witness full-grown people equal
to every emergency.
There are fou' essential conditions
Of growth into full moral stature,
namely a mind Of truth, heart of
love, a courageous will and life of
service. Truth, love, courage, SER
vice, these four cardinal virtues in.
c..nated in every living personality
viii mark the perfect day-dawn
When these shall reign supreme
moral miasma will be supplanted by
the atmosphere OF universal moral
health"

Resolutions Favor New Rules for Gov

ventions

New York, Sept. 24.--The Republi-
can State Convention held two Sc
sions in Carnegie Hall yesterday. 1t
concluded It's business at the night
session when it nominated its candi-
dates for the court of appeals and
adopted a radical resolution urging
an early national convention at which
the subject of a change In the basis
of representation shall be considered.
There were many evidences that the
reactionaTies had lost control of the
party.
The convention will be remember
ed in Republican annals because OF
its breaking away from the reactiol
airy tendencies that almost caused
the downfall of the party when Col.
OF his own.
The "Old Guard" headed by VII.
liam Barnes, Jr., was routed in sew
eral particulars, and 1t was predict
ed by many leaders that the end of
the Barnes rule was in sight. Even
Senator Elihu Root, who was the
backbone of the Republican national
convention that nominated William
ii. Taft, broke away from Barnes,
The most radical action of the con
yention was the adoption of resolu-
ton which, if it is carried out in the
nation, will go far toward rehablitat-
ing the entire party. This resolution
which was adopted unanimously by
the convention after Barnes had op-
posed it in the committee on Resolu-
lions, puts the state convention on
record as favoring the holding, at the
earliest possible date, of a special
Republican national convention, TO
take up the question of adopting
new rules for representation in fu-
ture national conventions
The resolution recommends tha

red by the Republican voters of the
States. but it favors nevertheless,
the congressional district as basis OF
representation.
Il urges that representation In flu
ture shall be based more nearly on
the Republican vote actually cast in
the several states and congressional
districts. The effect of this recon-
mendation would be to cut down
Southern representation In the nat
ional convention.

the people turned out TO see the train

that there must have been 500 around
the station.
Trims travel over the line only two

But between the stations there were
millions of acres OF land as wild as 1t
was in the days OF Adam.
Early In the morning our English
passengers walked about in pajamas
when we stopped at stations. English
men love that sort OF thing. At Vie
toria falls they visited the Rain forest
in pajamas. and in johannesburg was
told that on sundays and holidays pa
jamas are worn around houses and
yards until lunch time.
"Englishmen show their pajamas so
much that cordially hate that partic.

have the same passion for running
around in pajamas that American boys
have for running around in baseball
