Has He Developed Vermont?

Allen NJ. Fletcher, candidate for
the Republican nomination for United
States senatorship, must experience
a feeling of decided discomfort when
he reads the newspapers these days,
for there is something decidedly dis
comforting in some of the retorts that
are being made to Fletcher political
advertising.
For instance, Senator Page throws
in this paragraph, which must find it's
way underneath even the famed
rhinoceros vest owned by the Caven-
dish aspirant:
Every dollar 1 own is invested in
Vermont. Never during my life have
1 had a dollar invested outside of
Vermont. Mr.. Fletcher is probably
worth 200 times as much as I am.
Today the records will show that
pay on a list two and three-quarters
times that Of Allen NJ. Fletcher, and
have never yet failed Gas the records
will show he has many times) to
comply with the statute which COM
mands that l make out, swear to,
and return an inventory"
The Londonderry Sitter also finds
the tax record of Mr.. Fletcher an in
teresting theme for speculation. The
contemporary is authority for the
statement that Mr.. Fletcher Inherited
large sum Of money, no less than
three millions of dollars, when his
father died rs years ago, and is of
the opinion that eff he has been able
man enough to earn his own living
and simply accumulate the interest
on what was left him he ought to be
worth twelve millions now" computed
on simple interest tables.
What has Mn Fletcher done with
all his wealth in the matter of devel-
oping Vermont, his adopted state {?
Has he invested it in industries which
are giving Vermont labor an oppor-
tunity to secure profitable employ
ment? Has he used it in ways that
have brought the state nearer the
New Vermont that is the goal of all
true Vermonters?
If he has so invested it, is it not
strange that the largest amount on
which the former governor ever paid
taxes was only $4,000? Allen NJ.
Fletcher, in his political advertising,
makes great claims of things he has
done for Vermont in a political way.
1t would not be out of place for him
TO come to the front and tell what
he has done for Vermont in a materi-
to do things with were he so minded.
Unless Mr.. Fletcher can show
wherein he has had the material adj
vancement of the state at heart, will
it not look as if his interest in Yer
mont has been entirely political, and
will not that go to prove the sus-
/ picion in the breasts of so many Yer
monters that his sole interest in Yer
mont is political. that he came to the
state for a political purpose, that he
is willing that others should use their
money to develop the state while his
money is invested elsewhere, and
! that he is content to grasp the politi-
cal honors and advancements while
others grub along with the material
| things that are so essential to the
| development of the commonwealth

Alternate On Printers.

At the October, 1890, session of
the legislature, held at Castleton, an
act was passed; providing, THAT AL
den Spooner of Windsor should be
state printer, that year, and that
thereafterwards, Haswen & Russell Of
Bennington, and Mr.. Spooner, should
alternate as state printers
The territory comprising the new
republic was practically a wilderness,
a range of high mountains, reaching
it's entire length, covered with heavy
forests; its entire territory made up
of mountains and valley, clear noun
tain streams running down to Lake
Champlain and the Hudson river on
the west side. and to Lake Memphre-
magog and the Connecticut river on
the east side of the range. Nearly all
buildings were made of logs while
Vermont was admitted into the Union,
the greater part of everything the
settlers needed, whether for food or
clothing. had to be there produced.
A foreign country to the north was
at war with the Republic of America;
to the west a hostile province en-
deavored to deprive them of the
homes they had bought so dearly.

INSPIRING

n HE Umatilla county IL
" brary is adding new
books at the rate of s.
GOO per annum and during the
past year the book circulation
through the local and branch
libraries amounted to $4,000
volumes.
This data is from a report
made by the president of the
library board at a recent din,
ner here. There is inspiration
in that statement. 1t means
the people of this county have
had the benefit without ex-
pense of $1,000 good books.
Think what that means to the
homes of Umatilla county.
Think what it means to young
men and women thirsting for
the pleasure and instruction
that may be derived from read
ing the best fiction the world
has produced. Take thought
of the decided practical advan-
tage afforded by access to the
thousands of volumes of non
fiction in the library.
There is added glory for the
library in the fact it is an open
house for all the people. Any
resident of the county is entitl-
ed to any feature of the insti.
tuition on the same basis as any
one else. The poorest child
has the privilege of taking the
the most brilliant book on the
shelves. The gems of litera-
ture shine with impartial light
for all who wish them. The
blessings are not Just for town
homes but for sheep camp and
farm and all other places
where good reading material is
wanted.
The public library is a truly
wonderful institution. In po-
tential good it is the most valu-
able thing in Umatilla county.
If it continues to increase in
usefulness as it has during the
last few years the happiness
and culture resulting from its
operation will be inestimable.

why not give serious attention
