pened Saturday when there was
forenoon session of the house with a
quorum present. Considerable work
was done and much favorable comment
is heard upon this indication of the
legislature to put through its program
and get home. Those members present
at the session should constitute a roll
of honor.
Hapgood tried to prevent the session
accomplishing much but was roughly
used Desk covers were slammed,
papers runpled and mucn disturbance
made but Happy would not down

sion.

probably soon be brought out by the
committee and it seems more than
likely that the house will pass the
measure. But the senate will be the
place where woman suffrage will

About 300 bills have been introduced
, in the house and about 100 in the
senate. This is some under the usua
number presented and much of the
credit for the decrease may be given

Campbell! and His Poem.

At dinner where Thomas Campbell
and Lord Nugent were present the con-
versation drifted from the use Of Latin
words in English to monosyllabic
verse: Some one expressed a doubt
whether two consecutive lines compos-
ed of words of one syllable could be
found in our language. Lord Nugent
at once quoted:
by that dread name we wave the sword
high
And swear with her to live, with her to
die
Campbell said he did not believe in
the lines and asked where they came
from. Lord Nugent said. From your
own Pleasure of Hope" How do
you know that?" asked the poet Il
know it all by heart" replied Nugent.
I'll bet you Il guinea you can't repeat
it." said Campbell. The bet was taken
and Nugent started declaiming The
poet soon got tired and said: 81 see
you know the poem. Don't go any
further" The other insisted upon re-
peating the whole poem or claiming
double stakes. and Campbell paid the
extra guinea in order to be spared the
recital of the poem which had made
| him famous-which he had forgotten.

SAFETY FIRST-AND LAST

The Central Savings Bank & Trust
company Of Orleans, VT, has always
practiced the only bank policy which
insures safety first, last and always
for depositors. 1t is policy which
demands that every investment out
side the routine affairs of the bank
shall be based upon the collective
judgment of it's board of directors,
consisting of seven prudent successful
men.
The safety of bank does not depend
upon the amount of deposits nor upon
the amount of surplus and profits
appearing in the annual statement.
Immense deposits and large surplus
and profits offer no security to a
depositor unles the combined assets of
the bank are we'll invested.
The Central Bank takes pride in the
amount of its deposits and it's steady
accumulation of surplus and profits
but its appeal to the deposition is based
entirely upon it's safety first policy OF
having a board of directors who ir
fact direct. It's funds are not at the
disposal of the whims, likes or dislikes
of any one man. We aspire to a still
higher place in the esteem of the
banking public as our policy of safety
first, last and always becomes more
thoroughly understood.

The Monitor can't help but feel that
those Republican legislators who voted
against a salary basis for paying
members of our Legislature are trai tors
to their party. Probably no one of
those 100 odd men who voted against
it, many of them braggingly, entered
one word of protest against that part
of the state platform which they as
Republicans. were elected upon, which
reads as follows "That the per diem
basis of compensation for members of
the legislature be abolished and a flat
rate for the session be substituted
therefor" Practically the same thing
was in the Progressive platform.
Yet most 5members of both parties
voted against such a measure last
week. All honor to that list who
voted for the salary. This honor roll

is no superior tuber produced any

that growers in other sections of the
