The Republican committee of Orleans
county has called a meeting of the
Republicans of this county at Orleans
for Friday afternoon to talk over
matters political. The Monitor is glad
to see this move and believes much
good will result from this meeting.
Let the Republicans Of every hue and
color come together and let there be a
full. free and frank discussion OF
affairs. but if there be any who think
every old method and idea must be
chung to and nothing new adopted and
advanced. let him be overruled. Or
leans county Republicans must advance.

In speaking of the statement made
by Governor Fletcher in New Hamp-
shire recently about politics in Ver-
mont the Advance says, 1.-THE stand
pat organs have ignored the statement
or printed it obscurely." Will the
Advance kindly name few of the
papers that ignored these words of the
governor? And then a few journals
which printed it obscurely. The Moni-
tor wants to know who the "standpat"
papers in Vermont are according to
this standard.

THE PROUTY SITUATION

C.. A. Prouty is today as much a can
didate for the United States Senate
from Vermont as he ever has been.
He is not more's so and not less so. re-
ports and rumors and surmises and de.
sires Notwithstanding. In February
TurnbulI, president of the non-partisan
Prouty club, which was at the time
printed in the Monitor and several
state papers in which were the follow
ing words:
"Deeply as | appreciate the senti-
ment of my friends in Vermont. [ feel
that I cannot be, directly or Indirectly
a candidate. It is inconceivable to me
that any man can be elected to that
place who is not prepared to make a
fight for himself. You think otherwise.
Should you be right, then | repeat here
what | said to you at Burlington such
an election would not only be an I'M
paralleled honor which | should deeply
appreciate, but would be in the nature
of command from my fellow YER
monters which | should feel bound to
obey"
No one except those who would not
understand has pretended to believe or
make others believe that Mr. Prouty
was a candidate or would become a
candidate in the sense in which men
usually become candidates for Office.
He has been and now is in a position
which he does not feel he can leave for
active part in a campaign at present
and Furthermore announced publicly
in letter to the press Of the state
that his health would not permit of en-
gaging in speaking tours and campaign
hardships.
There could hardly be any misunder-
standing therefore with any who took
up the Prouty cause. His many sup
pOrters throughout the state must al
have understood from the beginning
that this was a case where the place
seeks the man and not the man thG
place and many there are who rejoice
that such is the case today. Mr.,
Prouty's letter to DR.. Jackson was ;
reiteration Of his entire stand and in ;
letter of no later date than June
addressed to the Prouty club of Or
leans, Mr. Prouty says:
st am just in recieptof a letter from
you stating that reports are being cir
culated in the press and by Individual

personally that I did not desire thu

did not welcome support to that end

Conwell's Beautiful Simplicity.
Mr.. Editor.

Mr. Editor.
Dear Sir:-In reading in your recent
issue, the tribute given Dr. Conwell, |
wish to say word on the other side as
it were of this grand good man, what |
wish to show is that while he is among
the first of our great men today, as
speaker and citizen he has another
personality or shall we say more
humble unassuming life among the
home people here that love him.
Several years ago he bought back the
old homestead at the south part of
the town, where he was born. and
although much has been done in the
way OF repairs, part OF the original
building remains. He has done much
for this town in many ways. building a
seminary and helping many young
man and woman to better education
Four years ago he held open-air meet
lngs at his home on the Sabbath and at
one time there were singers from his
church in Philadelphia brought here at
his expense. Coffee and Sandwiches
were dispensed free to all at the noon
hour and then he would give another
talk in the afternoon, which made
each of US as we returned to our homes
feel that we had received spiritual as
we'll as an intellectual treat One day
he heard that in the west part of the
town a poor woman lay very i'll and
although she was growing steadily
worse. her faith was such she believed
that the Lord would restore her health.
SO he came up to see her one day.
bringing her great bunch of sweet
peas. He talked long and earnestly
with her, telling her Of Mrs. Conwell's
illness at one time. when he believed
the prayers of his church were the
means of her recovery, then he knelt
and offered up the most inspiring
prayer | ever heard asking God, If it
were best, to restore this poor sister to
health and strength again, then he
went away smiiingIy saying to her
that God would do that which was
best. An, well, we'll before the year
ended she passed to her rest and
shortly after Mrs. C0nweI was
brought here TO rest near her old home
she loved 50 well and those VINO were

rest but a few short miles apart. It
seemed no doubt to this man but q
little thing. "a cup Of cold water, - as
it were along the roadside Of life. but
to us that love him, { shows the great
unassuming goodness Of his heart. No
doubt there are many more such in
stances in his life that we shall not
know until:
when the book Of life shall there
unfold,
And the record of each life be told,
All, then Wen know each other well.
When those pages shall the story tell"

Vermont Has Reactionaries.

Governor Fletcher of Vermont was
recently in Manchester, N. H. In the
course Of an interview there he said:
THE trouble in Vermont. as it is in
many other states, is the presence of a
small reactioGary group, who are
thoroughly and blindIy conservative,
and VINO oppose in an unthinking and
reckless fashion every proposal which
concentrates progress in legislation
The majority Of the people of Vermont
are, | am convinced, thoroughly pro-
gressive. Unless this progressive sen.
| timent is given expression in laws,
serious conditions will be created.
Personally, think | may properly be
described as 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 a state
as Vermont has opened my eyes to
many things which | did not believe
could possibly exist. When the trouble
occurred at Chicago in 1912, l did not
| understand some of the positions
assumed by Colonel Roosevelt, because
l had not had at that time the
experience | since have undergone.
Today his position is much more clear
to me, and in many of the views which
he has assumed I am in thorough
accord. And l do not exclude his
strong views as to the need of court
The sole hope of the Republican party
is in becoming definitely and frankly
progressive. Unless the party becomes
progressive it will die and will deserve
to die, since it's usefulness will have
been ended"

people OF the entire State? This form
of ballot was not adopted in the

Issue Is Unchanged.
Because Of this liability to confusion
the form of ballot in the House bill
was preferred. but tho form of ballot
proposed by the Senate committee does
not change the issue involved In the
election. and, therefore. while the form
of ballot was not preferred yet, should
the Senate and the House decide to
adopt the amended form of ballot, the
legislative committee of the Anti
Saloon League does not believe that
1t would be justified In refusing to ac-
cept the bill because OF this change.

INVESTIGATION
NOW IS UNDER WAY
Commerce Department Will
Make Sweeping Inquiry Into
Cause of Collision.
Especial to The Times-Dispatch.I

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.]
washington. January 30.-The De-
partment of Commerce to day began
sweeping investigation into the cause
OF tho collision between the Nantucket
and the Monroe. There are three dts
unct angles to the Investigations:
1. Whether the masters of both ves-
sells used every possible precaution to
prevent the tragedy, including a low
speed Roadway and continual use Of
fog horns.
2. Whether the terrible death rate
among the passengers on board the
Monroe was duo in any way to lack
of discipline on board the wrecked
ship.
9. Whether tho two vessels were in
their proper positions prior to the col
lision.
AS soon as messages telling of the
disatser reached Washington the OFF,
Gals OF the steamboat inspection SER
vice got into telephone coInmunica ton
with Robert Tapley. inspector of hulls,
and Edward Brey. inspector of boilers,
at Norfolk. At O'Clock the Depart
ment of Commerce received word that
the investigation had begun.
Fenr Speed WINS Too Great.
According to all information now in
the possession of the government Of
ficials hero. the two ships were of
splendid construction. They stated to-
e,
when she struck the Monroe must have
been terrific to tear a cash that would
sink the SHIP in few minutes.
Despite tho reports which have been
received from Norfolk describing the
low rate Of speed at which the two ships
were running, the officials arc inclined
to believe that the Nantucket must
have been exceeding the limit Of eau
tious Roadway when she ran down the
Monroe.
Figures in the possession of the De-
partment of Commerce show that the
Monroe was much finer and a larger
ship than the one which sank her.
Her destroyer was little over half her
tonnage and was only 274 feet long
The question OF possible panic on
the part of her crew is one to which
the Commerce Department officials are
directing their attention. They point
out that the nature OF the accident
the shivering blow which struck down
the ship in the dead of night--might
be expected to unnerve men. One Off :
cial said to-day:
II don't like the look of the death
list. There are too many passengers
there. There are a number of women,
too. OF course, 1T Is too early to begin
TO comment yet-but It will be good
thing If we know the truth Of this
