are filed. When he arose to speak, the
entire study body rose and gave three

TO tell the law students why the Speaker

Mr.. Humphreys Next Move.

But they were not prepared for the
motion which MI. Humphrey then offered
reducing the salary to SG.OUO. He did it
merely to get chance TO talk under
the rules of the House, and this is what
he said:
When | offered the amendment to
raise his salary ] did not have in mind
as a reason that the Secretary of State
should be paid large enough sum to
keep him here Oh no, l would not do
anything 10 retain him in Washington as
the country that he could possibly per-
form when he is outside Of the State De-
partment. The particular idea that was
in my mind came from hearing some one
say this afternoon that higher salaries in
the government service should be paid so
as to insure better results. We certainly
ought to pay more money to the Secretary
of State if we think we could get better
service in the State Department.
I'VE ought TO have Secretary of State
who would not have to sell something to
England and violate his party platform
in order to extricate himself and the
country from the difficulties into which

VERMONT CIVIL WAR
VETERAN PASSES AWAY

DIR. Calvin Brewer Anderson died
on Sunday, August 30th, 1914, at his
home in San Antonio, Texas, in the
18th year of his age.
Born at Enosburg, VT, August %,
1886, the doctor remained on his
fathers farm until the outbreak of
the Civil War. He enlisted in Com
pany F, First Vermont Cavalry No
venber goth, 1861, and was taken
prisoner May 25th, 1862, while serv-
ing under General Banks in the She
nandoah Valley. For two months he
suffered terrible privations in the
rebel prison at Lynchburg, Va, and
was parolled on Belle Island in the
James River September 18th, 1862.
He was honorably discharged on ac-
count of disability at the U. S. Hos
pital at Annapolis, November 2Sth.
1862, and finally reached home a mere
shadow Of his former self. Careful
nursing, backed by an exceptionally
hardy constitution, restored his
health, and on November 2, 1866, he
married Mary E. Wooster at High

cal College, Hanover, N. H., in 1878.
The doctor practiced in several

SECOND ANNUAL MEETING
Bennington County Vermont Improve
ment Association Holds an Interest.
ing Meeting, Dean Hills Principal
Speaker.

speaker.
An important, though not largely
attended meeting Of the Bennington
County Vermont Improvement Associ-
alton and its second annual meeting,
was held at the Court House in Ben
nington on Wednesday Of last week,
at which time the reports Of the
officers for the year were heard and
an election was held for the various
Offices expiring.
The meeting opened about 2:30
with president Guy b. johnson in the
chair. After the reports of the officers
were heard the president announced
that the election of officers was next
in order and appointed as a nominat-
ing committee to present names of
candidates for the next year for reg
ular officers of the Association and for
five directors as well, to take the place
of those whose terms expired this
year.
The nominating committee consist
ed of Messrs. 0. r. Bennett of Man
chester, r. NJ. Campbell Of Dorset,
and Collins NJ. Graves of Bennington,

ing the matter presented the follow
ing names for the officers for the com
ing year: President, Guy B. johnson

ELEcTING REPRESENTATIVES,
Change in Law Makes Plurality Rule
After Third Ballot

An important change in the manner
Of electing representatives to General
Assembly was made by the Legisla-
ture Of 1912. Under the old law, II
there was no majority on first ballot
voting went on indefinitely, II will
be recalled that two years ago some
of the smaller towns went without
representation, the failure TO get a
majority after several days Of ballot
ing resulting in the attempt being Civ
en- up in disgust.
The new law reads as follows:
AT o'clock in the afternoon on the
day Of general election, the votes
given for representative to the Cen
eneral Assembly shall be canvassed
by such of the board Of civil authority
as are present, assisted by the assist
ant clerks and ballot clerks; and, If
no person has majority of the votes
given, the presiding officer shall so
inform the freemen and another bal
loting shall be held, reasonable time
only being given for receiving and
counting the votes; and baloting shall
be continued, until an election is
made, provided that after a third
ballot the person first receiving the
largest number Of votes shall be de-
clared elected. No vote shall be re-
ceived on a balloting after the box is
turned, but five minutes notice of the
intention to turn the box shall be
given by the presiding officer. The
canvass of each balloting shall be sep
arately preserved and designated by
the presiding officer by proper words
and figures indicating the order in
which the ballotings took place, the
number of ballots cast, the names of
candidates voted for and the number
of scattering and of defective ballots"
This makes the "high man" winner
provided there is no choice on the
third ballot.

resorted 10 in Vermont because, per
haps, few instances arise in which
such drastic step is considered nee
oGkary TO the safety Of the general
public, as well as of the driver. In
theory, the right to cut of the privil-
ege Of operating cars is all right, but
the prohibition oaght not to be i'm
posed until the party in question has
been given full and fair hearing be-
fore some Official like the secretary Of
state. Summarily to remove the
right to operate because the driver
may have figured in an accident is
not right OF reasonable, for there may
have been extenuating circumstances
in the case; indeed, the driver Of the
car may not have been actually re-
sponsible for the accident, or he may
have been only in part responsible.
Therefore, the full testimony ought TO
be taken by competent person in all
instances where complaint is made,
lest an injustice be done, and lest the
element Of spite be allowed TO enter
in the complaint and recommendation
to the authority having the right to
suspend the operators license.
But when imposed after full hear
ing the punishment Of license remov-
al is just the sort Of application that
is calculated to dispense with reckless
driving of motor vehicles, and resort
to such a punishment is to be COM
mended by all people who desire the
safety of Vermont's highways-only
let the person complained of be given
a chance to give his side of the case
reasonable degree of completeness

As an illustration Of the need and inn
portance Of such a measure, he cites
the recent examination Of the cm-
ployees Of New York bank Every
one Of them was found abnormal" F"
and zone the sure road 10 diseases Of
heart, lungs, kidneys, or blood ves-
sells"
Possibly that discovery may have
been useful and beneficial to few Of
the men, that IL was so 10 all may
reasonably be doubted. II may have
enabled some Of them TO ward of the
disease that threatened. In the cases
Of others, however, impaired health
must have been owing TO the condi-
tons Of life and work, conditions be-
yond the individuals control or power
to remedy. To tell such person
about the damaging but unsuspeeted
processes going on within him is TO do
him no kindness. His latent malady
is far less likely to be progressive
while he is unaware Of it; ignorance
acts as stay Of execution.
The danger Of such universal medi-
cal examination as the health commits
sioner pleads for is that il would
transform innumerable happy and to
all intents healthy persons into mel
ancholy watchers of their own symp-
toms, who would never again dare to
exert themselves hopefully and eager
ly in the business OF life. So far from
prolonging life, imparting such dire
knowledge of themselves TO people
would be the means Of shortening
their term and of limiting their hap
piness and their usefulness.
A healthy mental attitude is the
greatest of all helps in preserving
physical sanity; break down healthy
mental attitude, and the baeful germs
that in all of US will riot uncontrolled.
If all the employees Of bank are,
according to the medical examiner,
pathological cases, what number Of
the employees of factory or de-
partment store would be pronounced
entirely sound? Virtually all of us go
through life with engines that are
more or less imperfect, but that do
their work satisfactorily enough as
long as we do not watch them, tinker
over them and fuss with them. A
compulsory, universal medical exam
ination would probably result in wide
spread depression and despair.
