VERMONT HAS REAcTIoNARIEs
Says Governor Fletcher, Who Block the
Wheels of Progress.

Manchester, n. H., June l5.-Governor
A. NJ. Fletcher of Vermont came to this
city yesterday to participate to-day in
the flag day observance. Gov. Fletcher
in the course of an interview said;
"The trouble in Vermont, as it is in
many other states, is the presence OF a
small reactionary group, who are thor
oughly and blindly conservative. and
who oppose in an unthinking and reck-
less fashion every proposal which con-
templates progress in legislation. The
ajority of the people of Vermont are,
] am convinced, thoroughly progressive.
Unless this progressive sentiment is CIV
en- expression in laws, serious conditions
will be created. Personally, | think
NAV properly be described as q liberal
Republican, ! want to see, and hope to
see, the progressive elements in the
country coalesce into one formidable
and predominant organization.
''The work as executive of even so
small state as Vermont has opened my
eyes to many things which | did not be-
lieve could possibly exist. When the
trouble occurred at Chicago in 1912,
did not understand some OF the positions
assumed by Colonel Roosevelt, because
] had not had at that time the expert
ence | since have undergone. To-day his
position is much more clear to me, and
in many of the views which he has as
sumed | am in thorough accord. And
do not exclude his strong views as to
the need of court reform in making that
statement.
"The sole hope of the Republican par
ty is in becoming definitely and frankly
progressive and liberal Unless it does
become progressive it will die, and will
deserve to die, since its usefulness will
have been ended"

Mrs. William Brown of Liv-

Probably Crazy
DOUBLE TRAGEDY
FOUND OUT TO-DAY
-
Boy Was Blindfolded with
Two Thicknesses of
Black Cloth

Livermore Falls, Me-, June l5.-Mrs'
William Brown, in fit of melancholia
last night hanged her only child, boy
of six, and committed suicide by shoot
ing, while alone ON the farm. The trag-
edv was discovered this morning.
Mrs. Browns father, Augustus D.
D. Brown, was the first veteran to die
at Gettysburg reunion last summer, and
his death and that of her mother soon
afterwards are believed to have upset
the daughters mind.
The body of the boy was found hang
ing from hook in the center OF the
ceiling, blindfolded with two thickness.
es of black cloth. The soldier toys and
guns which were found on the floor lead
to the belief that the boy thought he
was laying soldiers when his mother
had him stand blindfolded on basket
with cord around his neck. The basket
was then taken from beneath him.

Young Man Whose Body
Was Found Near So.

BY C. VT. TRAINS
He Spent Saturday in Ran,
dolph, Going There from
Randolph Center

| Randolph, June l5.--The body of Guy
! Ripley, badly mangled was found a
mile north of South Royalton village
Sunday, and the remains were brought
here to-day to Randolph, where his
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
| Brown, live and where he visited Satur-
day following his arrival from Ran
dolph Center to see the baseball game
Saturday afternoon.
The remains were near what is known
as the long bridge Nothing was found
! on the body to serve for identification
purposes except grocery list which had
been bought at the store OF c. +. Root
here on the afternoon or evening of Sat
urday The goods were for Joseph
Brown, which caused the authorities of
! Royalton to telephone here for informa-
tion. 1t was then learned that Guy
Ripley, Mr. Browns grandson, who had
been working for Newell Bickford at
Randolph Center for several months,
came to- Randolph Saturday to attend
the ball game and later was at his
grandparents home. He was seen about
the village in the evening and he paid
an assignment on his accident policy to
William Goodheart. One report is that
he was seen at the railroad station at
midnight Saturday.
II is not known how he came to be in
Royalton, where the body was found,
1t is thought that he was struck by a
train, and possibly more than one train
passed over him. Both legs and one arm
were cut off and his head was crushed
in The Royalton authorities caused
photographs of the body TO be taken and
brought here, by means of which his
relatives identified the remains He has
brother, John Ripley, in Montpelier
The sympathy Of the entire village
goes out to his grandparents, who took
care of him and his twin brother from
their infancy, the mother, who was
Mr. and Mrs. Browns daughter, having
died when they were infants.

IN SPEAKING

In speaking of a persons faults, Pray don't forget your own. Remember those with homes of
 glass
 Should seldom throw a stone. If we have nothing else to do But talk of those who sin. 'Tis better one commence at
 home,
 And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a
 man
 Until he's fairly tried; Should one not like his company. We know the world IS wide, Then let us all when we com
 mence
 To islander friend or foe Think of the harm one word
 could do To those we little know. Remember curses, sometimes,
 like
 Our chickens ''roost at home, " Don't speak of others faults,
 until
 You have none of your own.

Last fall when the Legislature met

Again champing the bit in their
anger, the liquor men devised. a
scheme to defeat the wishes of

Thereby they not only attempted
to debauch the boys but made an

to be spread on the records of the
company and to be published by

William Wilson Finley was born
at Pass Christian, Mississippi, on
September 2, 1853, and entered
railway service in New Orleans in
1873. During the succeeding twen-
ty-tw years he had a varied ex
perlence, earning steady promotion

that sense Of personal responsibility
in all ranks Of the service, which is
one of the most valuable assets the
Company has today.
{! On the public side of his respon-
sibility Mr.. Finley developed large
ly during the past seven years.
Convinced of the duty of accepting
the changed conditions in respect
of the administration of industry
incident to the governmental policy
of regulation of the railways by
public authority, he was neverthe-
less keenly impressed with the ap-
parent lack of understanding on
the part of the public of the prob
lens of railway man cement. He,
therefore, devoted m"ch of his time
to the discussion of such questions
DelOTe representative audiences in
all parts Of the country, but chiefly
in the South, and the effect upon
public opinion of frank, straightfor-
ward and manly differences and
patiently iterated doctrine has been
long recognized, but was remarka-
bly, demonstrated by the expression
which has been received since his
death from public bodies through
out the South. He did much in
this way to correct sentiment
from which all railway property
has suffered in recent years-a SEN
tlment which has found its express
sion III an erroneous belief that 2
railway takes from the public more
nan It gives, and his effort in word
ana deed was to restore a just BAL
lnce OF understanding of the eco
ionic necessity, to every citizen in
us daily life, of well maintained
lonesly administered and PROSPER /
us transportation system. i
IN other ways also he gave ex- i
resslon to a broad view of the /
1entlty of interest between the !
eltare of the railways and that Of d
Re public. He lent active COOPER 4
lion to the chief educational indus 3
