No other governor Of Vermont, al
though he may have made bitter po-
liticAl enemies and have faced severe
critics, but has retired from the Office
a chief executive with the good will
and respect Of the great bulk Of the
people.
The reason why Mr.. Fletcher. upon
his retirement from Office, failed to
command in any such degree as his
predecessors the unqualified confidence
and regard Of the people, is not diff
cult To find.
MIR. Fletcher came 10 Vermont, from
Indiana, possessed with ideas foreign
TO Vermont life and character, and
with the expressed purpose of estab-
fishing an influence that would even
aually land him in the United States
Senate.
All things were subordinated TO this
one overmastering ambition, all the
successive steps in his career were
taken with this idea in mind, and the
State Of Vermont was but the pawn in
his game Of political advancement.
Rated as an economist in his pri-
vate business, this trait was not mani
tested in the conduct Of state affairs
and the state treasury suffered ex-
ploitation as never before.
Mr.. Fletcher's advent and career in
Vermont is another instance of null
ti-millionaire coming into a state and,
through the potent influence coming
from well-filled purse, attaining high
official position, which in his case was
followed by the ready acceptance Of
the theory IL am the State" and the
natural exercise Of autocratic and ar
bitrary power.
That he did not attain his ultimate
ambition, a seat in the United States
Senate, is due to the fact that the we'll
known Lincoln maxim regarding the
of fooling all Of the
people all the time still holds good.
To the credit of the Fletcher admin
istration is making the railroads bear
a more equitable share in the support
Of the state government and the work
Of the Special Educational Commits
sion. But the assets are pitiably
meager in comparison with the liabil-
tiles, for the piling up of which the
state may thank the now discredited
Howe Brown combination.
1t has been a bitter and costly ex-
perience for Vermont, from repeti
lion of which in the future the state
may well pray to be delivered.-Enos-
)urg Standard.
The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1915-01-21
SPELLING

Some Of the written compositions
that come into this Office are fearfully
and wonderfully made as regards or
biography, but we are somewhat less
dismayed when we read that prac-
tically half Of group of % students
in the University Of Illinois made a
botch of spelling such words as "ac-
commodate, dissipate, disappoint, lab
oratory, embarrassment, athletics,
lose, courtesy, professor, stopped, pre-
cede, harass, companies, interfered,
inferred, noticeable, lovable, Thacker-
ay, Macauley, proceed, acknowledge
ment, permissible"
But while less dismayed that the
art Of spelling seems to have been lost
in this section, inasmuch as similar
conditions are being brought to light
in other sections, we nevertheless are
not reconciled thereby to the condi-
tons. On the contrary, we should say
that redoubled efforts ought to be
made to instruct school children how
to place letters properly in order to
spell according to established ideas.
1t is beyond hope that their elders
should mend their ways in this re-
spect; they may be permitted to take
their devious paths in photography
even unto the grave. The upcoming
generation, however, there is hope Of
if taken in hand in time. To this end,
therefore, a course in simple mot
simplifed spelling ought to be estab-
lished at once in every school; and to
that should be added frequent tests in
the placing of letters in their proper
sequence so that correct meaning can
be conveyed. The old-fashioned
spelling down" match would be a
splendid revival, not only for the
schools themselves but for other gath
erings where youth assemble. Indeed,
it wouldn't be bad idea for the older
people; and we guarantee there would
be no end of amusement as those same
elders strive to fit letters into their
proper places. If 10 out of 25 stu
dents at the University Of Illinois
couldn't spell correctly the group of
words above given what havoc the
non-collegians would make of the die
Barre Times.

The Journal publishes in another
column the lengthy article by J. w.
Votey relative TO the condition of the
jails at Manchester and Bennington.
This report is part of the state
board of health's report. From a
hurried reading of the report it would
strike us that If those individuals in
Bennington who are so active in inter-
esting the state board of health in try
ing to force on this county set of
new county buildings by making these
biennial reports, simultaneously with
the meeting of the legislature, would
use their efforts towards making the
officials who are supposed to be paid
to see that the jail is in proper condi-
ton, do their duty, the interests of the
county and those individuals who are
unfortunate enough to be confined in
the jails would be better conserved.
There's no excuse for dirt. Clean up /.

BUT WHO WANTS
TO BE "A HORSE

Pay some attention to what you eat
and you will probably feel better. The
great majority of people who suffer
are stuffed TO death with indigestible
food. Commanding is as bad as
drinking rum When you see how the
horse holds himself in check with a
brute in command of him, there must
be something in the subject of food
and its relation TO health and morals
of which persons of supposed intellect
know almost nothing.-News and Cit

THE SEMINARY movies"

The moving pictures" given in the
gymnasium, Saturday evening, Jan
10th, were enjoyed by about Isl
people. This for first night" was
a very creditable showing. Mr.
Brownson, assisted by Mr.. Doans, op-
Grated the machine and Miss Mcclure
very pleasingly accompanied on the
piano. 1t is now planned to give a
performance each week Saturday
nights when not otherwise announced
This is not a commercial venture
but an attempt on the part of the
seminary to supply during the winter
months, a regular form of entertain
ment, both educational and entertain
ing. Every effort will be made to
secure good, clean, first class drama,
comedy, industrial, and scenic, etc.
reels even at considerable extra cost,
trusting to fair sized audiences to
make the enterprise "break even" at
the end of the season.
The moving picture machine is a
Powers No. 5, standard machine and
its purchase for the seminary was
made possible through the generosity
of Dumont Clarke, who last fall plac-
ed in Principal Brooks hands a fund
sufficient to procure the same, to be
expended for the benefit Of the insti-
tuition as the latter should deem most
advisable. This instrument is supple
mented by a portable stereoptican
having many desirable features, to be
used in class room and for church
work as well and freely available for
both purposes. Its most striking fea-
ture is a new type of lighting outfit,
a medium sized arc light, second only
in power to the high power arc light,
yet it has the advantage that it can be
plugged in" to any electric light
socket. This instrument is made pos
sible by a recent gift Of Mrs. VIM. II.
Mcclure. The school and community
are certainly highly favored in now
being so admirably equipped for illus
trative work and entertainment.
Arr Brownson, who is the Deus ex
Machina," is proving of invaluable
assistance in the installing and run
ming of the movies" A roller cur
tain is being arranged for in the gym
nasium and a suitable freproof booth
will be constructed to comply with In
;urance regulations.

A BITTER EXPERIENCE

What one state paper not uniting
ly refers to as Vermont's reign of
terror has come to an end in the
passage of the administration Of Gov
ernor Allen NJ. Fletcher.
The spectacle presented on the
opening day of the General Assembly
in Montpelier, when the retiring gov
ernor appeared TO deliver his valedic-
tory, was one probably without par
allel in the history Of Vermont as a
commonwealth.
His appearance was marked by the
total absence Of any manifestation Of
applause and when he concluded his
remarks, which dealt chiefly with an
attemp; TO justify his action in the
Supreme Court matter and in the de-
nunciation of his critics, the same
sonber silence was maintained.
