The adjutant general replied telling
the governor that he, the governor,
had told him to run his office when
his administration had first begun and
there had been no protest until the
governors order yesterday. The ad-
jutant general said the requirement
to submit every little detail to the
governor would hamper the admins
tration of his department and he did
not believe the legislature had intend
ed for the scope of the commander-in-
chief to be so broad.

BIG TELEPHONE PETITION
Assert Rates Are Too High Also Claim
Service Of Passumpsic Telephone Com
pany Has Deteriorated since Compe-
ti:ion Was eliminated.

Governor Fletcher has received peti-
tions signed by residents of Orleans,
Caledonia and Essex counties, asking
him to take steps to procure for the
people reasonable telephone rates as
we'll as suitable service. 1t appears
that the Passumpsic telephone COM
pany, subsidiary of the New Eng
land. has bought in number of in
dependent telephone lines in success
sion; and it is claimed that the com.
pany has advanced rates, while the
service is alleged to have deteriorated
in various ways.
Governor Fletcher has taken the
petitions under consideration, and if
sufficiently impressed with the situa-
ton, he will probably name commis-
sion to investigate the situation and
report to him it's findings.
Complaint has reached Governor
Fletcher from other parts of the state
also. and it is not impossible that the
investigation may extend beyond the
counties named in these particular
petitions. The chief petition received
reads as follows:

Gospel Campaign Closes.

I Many of, the rural sections of New
England are indebted to the EvangeliS-
tic Association of New England-Bo
ton, for making it possible for the
churches to receive help along evan
gelistic effort, by sending out such
men as Evangelist Lewis E. Smith,
who closed a successful ten days work
here Sunday evening. Barton has ex
perienced genuine revival. Not only
have the churches been revived but
the whole community has received an
uplift along religious lines which is
most gratifying. There has been en-
thusiasm a plenty, excitement none
but aighforward, clean-cut pre-.
sentation Of the Gospel message by a
man who knows men. and aided by the
solid support of the pastors and Chris
tan people, results have gladdened
every heart The showers of Sunday
had no effect on the attendance and
the Congregational church was filled
morning and evening. When 200 men
gather for a Mems meeting, as was
the case Sunday afternoon, it is evident
that there is something doing. The
music all through the meetings was of
high order, the choirs Of the church
es under the leadership of Messrs.
Hibbard and Cutting, entering heartily
into the work. The flower committee
of the G. E. society kept the church
| tastefully decorated with plants and
flowers. The musical program all day
Sunday was most enjoyable and the
fine orchestral program by the Schu-
bert clnb highly appreciated. Forty
or fifty people have responded to the
appeal of the Evangelist during the
meetings. Barton is the eighth town
in Orleans county in which Mr.. Smith
has held meetings. Five other towns
in this section of the state have asked
fer his services the coming season anC
it is hoped he can accept the invita-.
/ tions. Barton people one and all wish
him Godspeed. He begins work agair
at the Congregational church, Woburn
| Mass, this evening. Mr.. Smith
handed the editor the letter printed
telsewhere complimenting Barton on it:
beauties.

As Evangelist Smith Sees Barton.

Mr.. Editor:
: Some one has said, ALWAYS obey
good impulse. Acting upon that in
Junction. would be glad to express
through the Monitor my grateful
appreciation of the support given me
in the meetings just closed, not only
by the. members of the churches, but
by the community at large and for the
generous contribution for the support
of my work in rural New England. ssrss
Barton citizens have. reason to be
justly proud of their village As
summer resort it must be ideal with
its splendid hotel, its sweeping view
up and down the beautiful valley and
its jewel of a lake-rightly named
sparkling in its setting of
towering cliffs and hills of green. [
was especially impressed with your
fine school building and the personnel
of the student body. The boys and
girls are indeed fortunate to be under
the care of such able instructors and
my visit to the school through the
courtesy of Professor Stannard, will
be one of the pleasant memories of
Barton. 1t was pleasure to meet your
enterprising merchants in their we'll
stocked stores ard although we were
not all of the "same mind" yet their
unfailing courtesy will not be forgot
ten. The Monitor was a large factor
In the success of Barton's Gospel
campaign and l thank you for the
space given and the kind things said
of the work - fsss..s
Sincerely yours,
Lewis E. Smith.
