Vermont has lost one OF her great
citizens in the death of John G. Nc
Cullough. In any group of men he
welded mastery influence. He
said little, but he made frequently
the carrying motion. His judgment
was as keen as his patriotism was
pure. Dignity and comradery were
uniquely blended in him, and he ex-
emplified a certain lofty gentlemanli-
ness which is increasingly rare. He
served Vermont in a trying time, but
none can recall a single word OF bit
terness that ever came from his lips.
The beautiful gymnasium on the
college campus has the name of Gov
ernor Mccullough over the portal
Only last year he added a substan-
tial sum 10 the endowment of the col
lege for the preservation and care OF
the building which bears his name.
He was the first to respond to the APP
peal for the Pearsons Fund in 1908,
not waiting until the applause of the
announcement Of DR.. Pearson's con
ditional gift had died away before
making his pledge His charities are
without number. but he never lost his
cheer in doing good With character
istic modesty his family prescribed
that only the words of the English
prayer book be used in the last sad

While governor the late John G.
Mccullough was criticized for his ex-
tensive use of the hardening power
extensive for the days of l902l904,
and extensive in comparison with the
records of other Vermont governors.
In view of the general adoption of
the parole system now we can see
that Gov Mccullough was simply n
pioneer in n movement which helped
prisoners themselves in getting back
to life Of self-respect and helped
the state by giving the men chance
TO utilize their fun earning capacity,
and thus in many cases to care for
their own families which might have
become public or charitable charges.

pardoned 26 prisoners from Windsor

letters received by him this
week.
The first letter, signed by a
woman at the Young Women's
Christian Association, ramed a
certain city detective as the "go-
between" of the police depart
ment, in handling graft money
between the negro residents OF
disorderly houses on Opera Court
and Market street, and declares
that he has lived in the same
house with big TO-" colored

three years.
The second letter is from a
man who declares he has been
forced to leave Tacoma because
this same detective and some of
the disorderly element had n
'grudge'' against him.

Both letters were answers to
Mayor Fawcett's recent question
made in council session as to
whether former Detective A. @.
Brown had received any tribute
from the colored element. Both
letters declare that Brown had
no connection with the colored
residents, but that this other de-
tective should be discharged.

NEW YORK, July 16.-Justice

wan.
Thaw was released on $35, 900
bail pending an appeal by the
state which Attorney General

In his decision Judge Hendricks
confirmed the findings of the
jury, which also declared Thaw
sane.
"My decision" said he, as
based on my judgment ard on the
advice of my friends. won't
speak of evidence. The testi-
mony of sanity was practically
overwhelming.
The testimony of paid experts
on either side was of no value.
Thaw gave bail, clinching his
freedom temporarily after a nine-
year fight. His counsel, once his
client was free, was smillngly con.
fident that even II the state
should appeal, it would not have
the slightest chance to have him
shut up again on an insanity
charge.
AS result of warning from
the bench, there was no demon
stration in the court room. A
, tremendous crowd packed the
halls, and all those on the out
side cheered when they heard
the decision. Thaw displayed no
emotion.
The police were forced to clear
. way for Thaw as he left the

This surely will bring II right
up In the first half-dozen wheat
producing states OF the Union
and every year showing an in

West states are beginning to so
back.
For instance, the United States
expert says that the average yield
the country over will be l6 bush

than that-twice as good-would

Coming down to us city folks,
that 100000 bushels which this
state is harvesting Just now
means a trifle over 20 loaves to
the bushel, or about three billion
loaves in all--and all full weight!
That would be about 1900 loaves
each for everyone in the state If
we wanted to keep II all here.
However, the folks over in Eu-
rope are getting pretty hungry
about now. and, due to other di-
versions which have distracted
their attention somewhat, have
not been keeping their crops
