In the death of Ex-Gov, John w.
Stewart of Middlebury last Friday,
Vermont loses another of her grand
old men, n who, during a life which
reached nearly to four score years and
ten, had been honored with nearly all of
the positions of trust and responsibility
within the gift of his fellow-citizens
and who in turn had honored Vermont
by the fa~ithfullness and ability with
which he performed his public services.
AS member of the General Assembly in
one branch or the other for no less than
nine terms. as governor, as congress-
man, and as United States senator, his
services to the State and nation were
such as to stamp him as public servant
governed by high ideals and the deepest
patriotism. He possessed in the fullest
measure the confidence and esteem of
his fellow Vermonters and the love of
friends and associates. Retaining to the
last a lively interest in all things affect
ing the welfare of his State and coun-
try, his wise counsel in matters of pub
lie concern will be missed.

The death of John w. Stewart re-
moves n of Vermont's strong men,
ending a life splendidly rounded out in
years, years full of things accomplished
at the bar, in banking and in political
preferment. And he was not a politi-
clan of the kind we hear so much
about. Born, schooled, colleged, and a
life long resident of Middlebury; Gov
ernor, Congressman and United States
Senator tells the story.
Addison county has produced men of
marked ability, some rising to national
and international eminence, but the
shire-town-on-the-O Otter claims a large
share of very able men, conspicuous at
the bar and in the affairs of men.
Swift, Seymour, Slade, Lindsey,
Knapp, Phelps, Battell and Stewart
being among the magic family names
that have a place in the local hall of
fame in the minds of the people.
Men of the old school, cultured, able
dignitied, affable, commanding profound
respect and friendship. Among them
all stands out conspicuously the name of
John Wolcott Stewart.

In the passing of the Hon. John W.
Stewart of Middlebury one of the fore
most men in our entire history goes
beyond our vision. Mr.. Stewart was a
gentleman of the old type and faith
fully preserved the traditions of the
former days, unlike some, however, he
was not out of harmony with the spirit
of the present, and bore his part in the
burdens and responsibilities of these
later days. AS a counsellor in village,
town, county, State and nation he was
patriotic, wise and conservative, and
was always ready to render service as
well as advice. May his mantle
worthily fall upon the politicians of the
west side of today.

Lyndonville Union Journal.

In the death of ex-Gov. John VOL
colt Stewart at his home in Middle
bury last Friday Vermont has lost an
other of its "Grand Old Men" and a
most distinguished citizen. Governor
Stewart was born in Middlebury Nov.
"a, 1926. He became a lawyer, rep
resented his town in the legislature
and his county in the senate, was gov
ernor from 1870 to 1872, was elected to
Congress in 1882 and reelected to the
three following Congresses, and on
the death of Senator Proctor was
appointed to serve as United States
senator until the election of a successor
by the legislature. In all these
positions Gov. Stewart served with
marked ability. Vermont has long
been proud of him and in his death
has passed a long life of great useful
ness.

The recent death of former Cover
nor John w. Stewart remove another
of the great men of the generation just
passed. It.isIpassing strange that the
death of Governor Stewart and Cover
nor Mccullough should occur in the
same year as the two men for many
years have been close personal friends
and as long as they were able frequently
visited each other and Travelled much
together. A few years ago they visited
Europe and those who saw them there
declared that they were as happy and
interested as two school boys on a
vacation trip.

Morrisville Messenger.

Crowned with honors and in the
fullness of years, John w. Stewart of
Middlebury entered into rest October
10Th, in the Goth year of his age.
Unto few men in Vermont has such
full measure of success been given or so
many honors bestowed worthily. Gov
ernor, Congressman, Senator, besides
many other honors, have been his, and
well did he discharge the service de-
manded. Notwithstanding his great
ability, that was recognized by the
leaders of the great political parties of
the nation, all of whom sought his
advice on great questions of state, he
never forgot that he was the servant of
the people. We have repeatedly heard
him emphasize the fact in public
speeches, and those who heard him
knew he meant what he said.
He has entered into the rest pre-
pared for the faithful since the begin
ming of time, but his works, the price
less heritage o. ar unsullied name, is
left to keep his memory bright in the
hearts of his fellow citizens of Vermont
and of the nation.

Perhaps not for decades have Ameri

Perhaps not for decades have Ameri-
mi been under such great temptation
to thank the Lord that they are not as
other men are as they will be at the
approaching thanksgiving season. With
Europe wasting her treasure and mort
gaging the future at a ruinous rate,
also sacrificing her strong young men
and providing a generation of cripples
and widows, while we are increasing
our wealth by leaps and bounds through
an unprecedented export trade, en-
couraged by the largest crops that have
ever been harvested by this or any other
nation, it will be strange if we do not
boast ourselves of our good fortune and
comfortingly assure ourselves that we
are the favorites of heaven. Yet the
Pharisee who returned thanks that he
was not as others has never commended
himself greatly to generously minded
spirits. Better be thankful for the
good we can do, and the tasks that try
our mettle, and the hard work that helps
build up the country to meet the day of
her testing, which will surely come even
if 1t is long postponed. In the long run
only merit and character can save a
country, not geography and leagues of
sea.

1t falls to the lot of few Vermonters to
have served the State as governor and
in both branches of Congress, but these
honors were John w. Stewards, who
died at Middlebury Friday at the age of
almost ninety. Governor Stewart was a
noble old Roman who lived beyond the
generation to which he vas accredited,
yet brought down the fine spirit of the
fathers. In every public esemblage he
was a notable figure and he remained
active almost to the last. Unless we are
mistaken, Governor Stewart was the
senior survivor among the dozen or
more former chief executives of Ver-
mont.

Governor Stewart. In 1852, at the q
of 26, he was elected to the office of
States Attorney, a position to which he
was reelected in 1853, and again in sd.
At the age of 30 he represented Middle
bury in the State legislature, and he
was reelected the following year. In
1860, he was sent by the Republicans of
Vermont to that distinguished conven-
ton at Chicago which nominated Abra-
ham Lincoln for President. In 1861 he
was sent to the Vermont Senate, a posi-
ton to which he was reelected in 1862.
He was again elected to the House in
1864, '65, sc and '67, and in each of
these three last years was the Speaker
of that body. He was also a member of
the House in '76, at which time he was
again elected to the Speakership. In
1870 he was elected Governor. In 1882
he was elected to Congress, his re-elec-
ton to that body following in "a, SO
and SO. On the death of Senator Proc
tor he was appointed United States
Senator.
During his entire official life every
position with which he was honored was
filled by him in a manner hat reflected
great credit upon himself and the office.
1t is are that we find the combination
of so many high qualities in a single in
dividual. He vas a graceful and force
full speaker; a lawyer of the first rank
and a fine-grained, patriotic, public
spirited, upright citizen.

GEORGE NYE BOARDMAN.

By the death of Governor Stewart
Rev. DR.. George N. Boardman became
one of the Oldest living graduates of
Middlebury College. Of the class of
l847, he was one year later than Gov
elnor Stewart in point of graduation, al
though of very nearly the same age.
His death in New York on Tuesday re-
moves one of the strong, noble men
from the friends of the college. Older
graduates remembered him as a teacher
of philosophy and English literature, a
ripe scholar, a man of firm grip of fun
damental principles, a keen logician,
a mar of high character and great
force. His high standing was shown by
his election at the same time to the
presidency of both the University of
Vermont and M%iddlebury College, when
an effort was made to unite the two
institutions. In the city of Bingham
ton, N. Y, he is still remembered as a
preacher of great power and a leader in
community life. His greatest work
was done in the Congregational Theo-
logical Seminary of Chicago, where he
achieved a national reputation as an
American theologian of the first rank.
DR.. Boardman's mind was of a serious
cast, but to his intimates he was the
most genial and kindly of friends. Mid
dlebury College has sent out many
great men, but none of nobler soul than
George N. Boardman.

A Montpelier lawyer has been found
guilty and fined after trial for violating
the fishing laws, having short length
trout in his possession. The case was
bitterly contested, and has cost consid-
cradle money. But it is well to have it
distinctly understood throughout the
State that the fish and and game laws
are made for the influential and for the
humble alike. No man, whatever his
profession or official standing, no matter
what his wealth may be, should be i'm
mune from the penalties imposed upon
the most inconspicuous, common labor
err. 1t is worth while, now and then, to
emphasize this fact, no matter at what

STATE BOUNDARY CONTROVERSY
Randolph Herald and News.

Randolph Herald and News.
According to the Hanover Gazette, a
state of war will shortly exist between
Vermont and New Hampshire over the
long-drawn boundary question. Whether
the line between the two States is the
west bank of the Connecticut river at
high water mark or at low water mark
is the matter at issue. New Hampshire,
holding that it is the former, is under
taking to tax certain mill properties at
Bellows Falls, which it claims are in the
town of Walpole. Vermont, contending
that the west bank of the river means
its line of the lowest level, denies the
claim. Diplomacy having failed, the
question will go to the United States
court for determination. If there is no
law or contract providing otherwise and
common sense rules, Vermont will win.
The idea of a strip of land on this side
of the river belonging to New Hamp-
shire because it is east of the rivers
bank which bank is actually at the time
to the eastward of the land, is preposter-
GUS. The high water line of a flowing
stream is exceedingly variable and in
time of freshets extends back a long dis
lance, covering large and valuable
properties, whereas the line of lowest
level is almost fixed, with no uncertainty
as to what it covers.

Vermont has the interest of a father
in-law in the Governor and Lieutenant
Governor-elect of Massachusetts. The
Lieutenant Governor has a distinguished
Vermont ancestry, and his wife is a
Burlington girl. Governor-elec McCall's
wife is a Lyndonville girl, daughter of
the late Sumner S. Thompson of that
village. MIR. Thompson was a railroad
builder of note. His first job in this
line was the construction of that section
of what is now the Central Vermont

Vermont mourns today the loss of one
who may well be characterized as the
last of her distinguished sons of the last
generation. John w. Stewart was born
80 years ago this month. Before he
reached his 2lst year, he graduated from
Middlebury College, and at the time of
his death was the oldest surviving
graduate of that institution, and easily
ranked among the ablest of those grad
yates.
