Clay's Famous Maxim.

Henry Clay, though he favored a
high tariff in 1888, introduced a bill
reducing the then existing duties,
Its object was to pacify the agricul-
tural states which had objected We
hemently. In South Carolina the
opposition had taken very serious
form. His friends told Clay that
his chances for the presidency would
be injured, when his reply was the
famous sentence, I'D rather be
right than president of the United
States"

scandinavian FLAGS,

The Swedish flag is older than
the flag of Norway. Sweden has
flown the yellow cross on the pale
blue field since Gustavus Vasa be-
came king in 1873, and the indie
pendcnce of Sweden from Denmark
was acknowledged. Norway had no
political existence as Il separate
kingdom until 1914, when she "se-
ccded" from Denmark and adopted
as her flag device made by super
imposing Il blue cross on the white
cross of the Danish flag.

Governor FIetcher,s Offences.

The st. Adams Messenger, comment

Brattleboro Reformer with reference
to the administration of Governor Al
len NJ. Fletcher, INDUCES in sum
mary of his offences; but it has gener-
ously omitted those Of greatest enormi-
ty in its eyes, as the mouthpiece Of the
Central Vermont railway. Let us see
what some of these offences were, com
mtted by the Governor in question;
Governor Fletchers chief offence
was pushing through the legislature
acts forcing the railroads to bear a
fairer share of the burden of taxation
This was done by stopping the use as
a basis of taxation OF the gross in
come, which could be shifted to roads
outside the state controlling those in
the state. The taxpayers Of Vermont
now receive from this source $4,000
more revenue in every biennial period
than before. The taxes of the express
and telephone companies we're also
increased by $4,000 and the American
Express Company was compelled to
pay its taxes, although it induced the
last legislature to make a slight reduc
tiCn in the tax,
Another offence of Governor Fetch
er, in the eyes of those whom the Mes
senger represents, was his insistence
that railroad lobbyists should cease
trying with greater or less success to
dominate legislation, especially

Another offence was Governor

Another offence of Governor Fetch
err was his determination that the Of.
fee of attorney-general should cease
to be used as a buffer between the rail
reads and other public service corpora

abuse OF the detective fund should
stop. His course has been vindicat.

PRES. REYNOLDS ELECTED

ces; Dues Raised to Ten
Dollars per Year

A we'll attended meeting of
the Commercial Club was held
at the Club rooms Monday even
ing and important business con-
nected with the work Of the
Club was taken care of.
A sufficient number Of club
members signified their willing
ness to submit to an increase Of
membership dues, to justify the
Club in renting new and more
comfortable quarters than those
at present occupied and the pres
ident and secretary were author
lied to take steps to secure such
quarters. The second story of
the Armory will be rented and
the Club move there within the
next month or six weeks. This
will give three rooms for the
Club home with dining room
privileges for special occasions
and the use Of the main audi
forum one night in each year.
Dues have been raised from five
dollars to ten dollars per year..
The census committee report
ed that it's work was not yet
completed and the rumor, cur
rent during the last few days,
concerning the city's population,
was without foundation. 1t will
be several days before the work
is completed and an accurate
report can be made.
The Club also elected officers
for the ensuing year, rejecting
Ira Reynolds, Pres, A. D. Nc
Rae and G.. A. Schildknecht,
Vice Presidents, A. J. White,
Sec., and H. M. Aune, Treas.
These officers have served the
Club well and faithfully and the
members realize that they are
the wisest choice as leaders.
With the more comfortable quar-
tiers there will be a reawaken-
ing of interest in the Club and
the officers will be given the
support and cooperation they de-
serve. The present board of
directors consists Of H. A. Bald
win, G. E. Mckay, H. r. Buech-
ner, C. A. Lauterbach and F G.
