WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY.

state Constitution of Vermont
From the Bennington Banner)

Section AZ of Chapter IT Of the State
constitution, as revised, would seem to
be explicit as to the authority of the next

find It in the constitution before the revi-

THE VALIDITY OF THE STATE
TREASURES BOND.
From the Rutland HeraldO

The dispute between the governor and
the State treasurer In rega rd to the bond
OF the latter is a matter that concerns
the entire State, regardless OF any ques-
ton OF personal feeling or partisanship.
An official charged with handling the
monies Of the commonwealth is required
by law 10 furnish a proper bond. and Il
there is anything worse with the surety
now on file with the secretary OF state.
It IS surely the business Of the people to
know what It is.
The Herald's information Is none too
great in this matter. but it seems GER
tain that the executive has found some-
thing in Mr.. Deavitt's bond that dis
pleases him and has sked the State treas.
urer for a new instrument This appar-
entity, has not been done, the attorney
general having ruled that a bond onco
| filed and approved Is suffi cient during an
officials term of office.
| Tho peculiar part Of the attention az
reported to The Herald, is the attitude Of
the supreme court, which apparently has
| declined or neglected to pass on the mat
ter The governor In fact, admits that he
submitted certain questions to that tribu-
nal some months ago and that the entire
matter was recently withdrawn.
The section Of the public statutes which
makes the Judges Of the supreme court n
effect the legal advisers Of the executive
reads as follows;
Sec 1874; Governor MAY Require. The
| Governor, when the interests Of the State
| demands Il. may require the opinion Nof
the Judges of the supreme court. or the
ma tority Of them. upon questions Of law
| connected with the discharge OF his duties.
And the Judges Of the supreme court. or
| any Of them, shall give an opinion in writ
Ing upon such questions"
II would seem. therefore, that any rea-
sonable and proper request for advice on
the part Of the governor would demand an
answer within a rea sonable time. There
seems to be little doubt that the statute
means Just what 1t says. The question:
then IS: Was the governors request for
advice reasonable and proper?
1t seems to The Herald that the gov-
ernor is needlessly reticent about this
matter What We're the questions which,
he submitted to the supreme court? What
is wrong with Mr. Deavitt's bond, accord 4
! ing 10 the executives view of the situa1
ton? Is there any question Of the bond 4
sufficiency or IS 1t merely a personal
matter between the governor and tho
present State treasurer?
The Herald's dispatch states that thd
dispute regarding this matter OF a bond
is of long standing. II certainly would
appear to a disinterested observer thai
this difference Of opinion. to put the matt
ter mildly. IS by no means the sole comb
Germ Of the executive and the State treas}
urer. It concerns the entire State and con{
Germs IT vitality. An official handling mil |
lions OF the public funds is placed unde1
bonds for good and sufficient reason. II
there Is anything questionable about hi
bond, the public has a right to know It.
The governor owes 1t to his constituent
to take them more fully into his conhI
dence.

DIR. PRITCHETT ON VERMONT.

We have already dealt with Lincoln
which seemed to us unworthy and alto
gether uncalled for. In the course OF
his article Mr.. Stefrens assorted that
Connecticut. Rhode Island and Vermont
we're morally and socially dead 1t
seemed to us that this was worse than
mistake. It was the grossest kind OF
SANDER uttered for the eaks of creating
sensation. 1t is decidedly pleasing
NOW to have Mr.. Steffsns subjected TO
q sharp rebuke for the Vermont part
of his libel. Th,s Iebuke comes from a
rather unexpected source. DR., Ienry s.
Pritchett president of ;ho Carnegie
Foundation.
DIR. Pritchett writes in the last ,ssue
of the Independent under the titlc zine
Vgor Of Vermont" ais aTticle 10 arow-
cdly an answer TO Mr. steffens. With
an exaggerated politeness he treats the
magazine writer as If he were a bona
hdc investigator, but suggests tina. the
observations of one man while likely 10
be ORA 1atic and interesting are bound
70 haVe personal bias. and that OBJ
scrvationa made Cor tho purpose Of
magazine publication are likely 20 sNcrt-
ico something TO sensattonalism. Or,
prtchett then dcscrlbez the method Of
the recent Carnegie investigation of ed
ucation, which Was incidentally an In
vesugation Of the whole life Of the State,
founded upon the opinion of many iuves-
tlgators instead Of upon one mans no.
tions.
The results Of this Investigation enable
DIR. Pritchett to meet the magazine
writer with three Hat contradictions
First, Dr. Pritchett states that in vigor
OF its people, Vermont is not behind
other States, Second, while increase Of
population has been retarded by the re-
markable emigration OF Vcrmonters to
other States, the quality OF the people
docs not seem TO have suffered. Third,
the notion that Vermonters In Vermont
are different from Vermonters In the
West is entirely mistake, In the course
OF his article Or, Prtchett refers to the

DENVER, March 21.-"It is an ap-

the men between 20 and As are I'M
married" declared Judge Ben 3.
Lindsey, in answering Miss Gertrude
Vaille's talk on the deficiency and
faults of the mothers compensation
act in Colorado.
"As a result of this condition." con-
tinued Judge Lindsey, police investi-
cations throughout the country show
that in nearly all the large cities 10
per cent of the women of child bear
ing age are engaged in immoral prac-
tees, or are occasionally so engaged.
The Legitimate birth rate is on
the increase, while the legitimate
birth rate is on the decrease. This Is
not so much a reflection on the wom-
en- as on society itself; on civiliza-
ton that is fast becoming a con-
spiracy against nature"
