the bar is high and he has filled the
office of city attorney for several years
with signal ability and to the entire
satisfaction of the citizens. He has iden-
titled himself with every movement de-
signed to promote the prosperity and
welfare of the city and he employs in
full measure the esteem and confidence
of the people of this community.
As postmaster, Mr.. Bailey ought and
undoubtedly will prove an able and eff
cient public servant. for he seems to
possess in abundance those qualifications
necessary to the successful discharge of
the duties that will devolve upon him
in his new position. These will not be
light, for the postmastership of Mont
pelier is no sinecure. Mr.. Bailey will
have the good wishes and active CO.

him so his success seems well assured

Office affairs is as business like, intelli-

There is disappointment for those who
had expected that Colonel Roosevelt
would blow into flame the dying spark
of life within the Progressive party.
When he limped back from the River of
Doubt it was with the stout assurance
that he would fight the cause of the
party from the Atlantic to the Pacific
When he left for Europe he accompanied
his departure with the statement that
he would dc, most of his fighting in New
York state. In London he discovers u
condition of his throat which forbids any
extensive campaigning. The Brazilian
fever hit him in the larynx, and what

News of the colonel's vocal difficulty
comes to discourage the Progressives OF
Massachusetts, just at a time when there
was every need for encouragement.
Their efforts to raise a $4,000 campaign
fund by popular subscription do not APP
pear to have been glowing success.
The campaign, which was extended be-
yond the original Today limit, ends to-
night, and last nights accounting showed
less than $4,000. Amos Pinchot's crit.

fund maker of the party, seems an I'M
necessary irritation under the circum-

The colonel can, of course, yield a
vigorous pen to support the cause while

HEARD HIS PRAISES SUNG.
Governor Fletcher Hears He is Logical
Man For Senator.

Rutland, June 25-- Extolling the rec
ernor of the state OF Vermont and de-
'claring that his duty TO his state de-
mands that he become candidate for
the United States Senate. DR.. J. ID.
Bachand, of st. Johnsbury, as appointee
OF the states chief executive, yesterday
Afternoon temporarily turned the cele-
bration of st. Jean Baptiste day of the
local French societies into political
gathering. In a dramatic speech last
ing several minutes, he asked first in
English and then in French, for the sup
port of Gov. Fletcher by his auditors
and compatriots.
Gov. Fletcher was seated in the stand
and had preceded Dr. Bachand on the
program. Both before and after the
speech the governor was given a long
round of cheers. In his speech GOV.
Fletcher did not touch on politics, the
endorsement by DR.. Bachand being APP
parentlv gratuitous.
DIR. Bachand opened his remarks by
telling of the many good features of
Gov. Fletcher's administration. He said:
When his excellency entered into this
service he found rotten condition at
the state house. He named new tax
commissioner and the state has bene-
fitted. He named new public service
commission, one that is not owned by
the railroads, and the state has bene
fitted. He ordered the telephone inves-
tigation and the state has benefited. He
ordered new bond for the state treas,
urer and the state has benefited. And
lastly he has ordered an investigation of
the Office OF the attorney general and
believe the state will be benefited"
4Gov, Fletcher showed his evident fair
ness and respect for the French people

was backed by a petition and certain
society, but in the face of all this Gov.
Fletcher made me member of the
state board of dental examinationers."

With this issue The Journal assumes
a new FORM which we trust will meet
with the approval of our many readers.
1t is a move which we have had under
contemplation for some time and now
we find that there is no way out of it
but to make this change, radical as it
may seem to be. We know it is not per-
feet but perfection is our aim and we
will welcome any criticism from our
friends and as they give their friendly
criticism we will be pleased to receive
suggestions as well. particularly the lat
ter, for it is a very easy matter to crit
icize but somewhat harder to suggest
wherein improvement could be made

Surely no one will criticize the new
style OF your newspaper adversely be-
cause in its new form it is far more
easily handled in the reading than it
was under the old blanket shape. The
day of the newspaper of huge sheets is
passing and in its place is newspaper
of less columns TO the sheet and more

provement in appearance over the old
and the change is likely to be appreci-
ated by your readers. You are to be
congratulated over the change.

STOP THE sENsELESS NORTH POLE
PICKERING.

The effort to stir up the Peary. Cook
discussion again by congressional reso-
luton ought to be stamped upon strong
enough to silence the matter. A few
friends of the men named may consider
that their favorites ought to have vindi-
cation; but the great majority of the
people of the nation long since became
tired of the pickering between these ex-
plorers of the north pole region and are
in no mood to have the case reopened
and an endless discussion resumed, with
possible great expense in proving one
or the other of the men claiming tina /
TO which he is not entitled. The general
public has no sympathy whatever with
the proposed plan for investigation au-
thorized by congressional resolution.
There are other and more weightv con-
siderations before the United States at
the present time than the mere satisfy
ing of personal ambition of one of two
men engaged in similar undertaking
of doubtful value; and the nation has
