The Manchester Journal:
Manchester Vt, Dec. 80.
Gentlemen:--
After having spent several weeks
at Montpelier attending the session
of the Legislature l wish to call
the attention Of the people OF Ben
uington County to the conditions
there as found them.
found large body of men from
all parts OF the State who were
earnestly trying by every means In
their power to safeguard and pro-
mote the best interests OF the
Sfae of Vermont and Of the people
within ii and who were applying
themselves to a kind OF work to
which many of them are not USED
with a patience and honesty OF pur-
pose that should promise much for
The welfare of the people OF TINS
State. The individual members
scemed to strive to preserve that
harmony which more than anything
else makes it possible to dispatch
the business of the State quickly
and well.
Bennington County people have
reason to be proud OF the represeh-
tatiyes and senator's from this
county. Senator Batchelder was CIV
en- the Chairmanship of the most
important committee in the Senate
and his advice Is much sought al
ter. Senator Madison knows more
members than any Senator there
and Is well liked by all The advan-
tage of returning a good member
10 the House is plainly shown In
the case OF Mr.. Oryis OF Manches-
ter. He is this year, although not
member of the party In control,
one of the most Influential members
in the House. He talks well and
always says something worth hear
ing. Mr.. Frank f. Howe, Lieuten-
ant-Goyernor. has by his efficient
and intelligent discharge OF his du-
lies made himself a general fave
tie among the members not only
Of the Senate but also OF the House
and the people OF Bennington Coun-
ty have every reason TO feel proud
II Mr.. Howe's representation OF
this county at the Capitol. He Is
always alert to do or say anything
that will help the people of Benning-
ton County. | believe that all In
attendance at Montpelier will agree
that the Senate and House have
heard more about Bennington Coun-
ty this session than on any former
occasion and II is all due to our
I.ieutenant-Gove and our Sena-
Sors and Representatives.
Very truly yours,
J. B. WILBUR.

When the new quarters of the Ham
ilton Training School For Nurses and
the Dixie hos spital were opened this
summer to the public between seven
and eight hundred visitors Inspected
the building. Two days later the
nurses and their patients had the long
anticipated pleasure of moving into it
The Dixie hospital is the only pub
lie hospital on the Virginia peninsula,
and the new building and equipment
equal If they do not surpass those of
any other hospital in the state. The
institution was founded in 1891 by
Miss Alice NJ. Bacon and during the
twenty-five years of its history has
cared for nearly 4,3OO patients. while
1873 colored nurses have taken courses
in the training school.
Its present situation is an excellent
one, being on the trolley line between
Old Point Comfort and Hampton. the
site of the former residence of Presi-
dent Tyler, near the Hampton bridge,
the grounds extending from the street
back to Hampton creek. The substan-
tial brick building. standing well back
from the street and shaded by fine
trees, is in the form of double cross
ment. Its total length from front to
back is 16S feet and its total width
about 100 feet
The wing facing the street. separat-
ed from the hospital by a solid brick
wall above the kitchen floor, is the
nurses home and will accommodate
forty nurses. twenty-five being at pres
ent in residence. Sitting and sewing
rooms, shady piazza and separate
dining and serving rooms help to make
the home most comfortable and pleas
ant
The front of the building. with its
southern exposure. sunny piazzas and
rooms looking over the water, is most
attractive On the first floor are wards.
private rooms and diet kitchens for
colored patients and on the second
floor the same provision for white pa
tients. Besides the four wards on
these floors. there are two overflow
wards in the third story and fourteen
private rooms in all. The construction
is of the latest type advised for hos
pitals. with no panels In the doors and
no corners I'm the rooms, dark window
shades, moving both up and down. and
the very best sanitary equipment in
toilets and bathrooms.
The operating and sterilizing rooms,
situated in the center of the building
and near the elevator from the receiv-
ing room, into which the ambulance
entrance opens, are provided with the
most up to date appliances possible to
obtain. Besides the rooms mentioned.
there are the necessary administrative
offices and rooms for the doctors and
hospital STAFF. Sixty patients can easi-
ly be accommodated.

GEMS FROM DR.. CAREY'S
LAKE ERIE SPEECH.

American history actually teens
} with the deeds OF heroism and Of
valor. of dauntless courage and un-
wavering loyalty on the part of the
little brother" in the nation. To-
day we speak of peace. of universal
peace. How can there be universal
. peace without universal Justice?
Today the American people are In
mortal conflict with enemies more
potent, far more dreadful, than the
British fleet or armed cruisers which
either must themselves be conquer
ed or they will conquer U.S. Is the
big brother really big enough for
} the task. for the responsibility. for
the opportunity. that is his?
As true American, one who
loves his country and believes in
this country's greatness and good
ness. the little brother" stands
here today to plead for a fair
chance. We ask nothing more and
will be satisfied with nothing less.
We have done and are still doing
our part. We have ever been loyal
to the flag. No black anarchist has
ever torn the starry banner down.
We feel that We have not had a
square deal. In many states we
are disfranchised because of our
race. and 1imcrow laws disgrace the
statute books Of every southern
state
Efficient and trustworthy Afro
American government employees in
Washington have recently been set
apart. segregated from their fel-
lows with whom they have worked
for years. as II they were lepers.
The. little brother" feels that such
segregation is unnecessary, unfair.
