Some one of Vermont's wellheeled
ex-governors, whose identity at present
is secret, has offered to advance the
$4,000 or SIS 900 that will be required
to give the militia boys in the field the
cutomary state pay, taking his chances
that the next regular legislative session
will recoup him, and thus avoiding the
expense of special session, which
might cost as much more. Rah for the
Great MISUNDERSTANDING Herald
and News
The offer shows a generous spirit
on the part of some one of the eX-gov-
errors OF Vermont, of whom there are
at least four who could possibly afford
to give the money even if they did not
get it back. These four are Carroll s.
Page, Edward c. Smith, John A. Mead
and Allen NJ. Fletcher, Possibly also
George II. Prouty might though he is
not accused OF being as well-to-do as
the others. Whoever it is thought the
offer ought not to be accepted. The
state OF Vermont can afford to pay its
bills as yet and particularly debt of
honor owed to soldier boys. The state
of Vermont should thank the generous
man who is willing to loan the money
without taking mortgage on the state
house but we kindly and firmly decline.
We don t want to borrow his money to
support our family as we take a little
pride in doing that ourselves. We are
glad enough to borrow money some
tunes and for some purposes but not
for this. Another wishy.washy pro
pCsal OF less than doubtful merit Is that
ii the legislature is called together the
| members serve without pay. The Ia.
borer is worthy OF his hire. and in this
case the hirer is worthy of his labor.
Some of the members can easily AFFORD
to serve without pay but doubtless a
few cannot and it is in bad taste to
raise the issue. Some things are none
OF the business OF the pastor the press
or the people. Trying to settle the
moral issue for other folks is what
caused the lnqusiton and other awful
things done in the name of religion
and virtue during the past thousand
year,.

Friday, July 7, 1916.

Ex-Governor Allen NJ. Fletcher's an
nOuncement of his candidacy for the
U. S. senate, printed in this issue is
straightforward statement to the yot-
ers of Vermont. The issue is now fair
ly joined. Carroll Page is candi-
date on the ground that his past eight
years record of doing nothing in the
Senate has fitted him to do something
in the future. Allen Fletcher is a
candidate on the ground that his rec
ord of raising hell in Vermont entities
him to the support of those who know
something Of the kind ought to be
raised in the United States Senate.

MILAN ARGUES
 FOR BIRD RESERVES
Wants Funds for ProteCtion-No
 More Free Seeds

Washington, July 6.-Brief pleas by
 Senator Mclean of Connecticut for | adequate appropriations for the man. l agement of federal bird reservations
 and for the investigation aid eradica- | tion of a disease that is threatening g
 to cause extinction of wild ducks in l Utah and elsewhere, marked the con- | sideration of the agricultural appro- 1 priatiOn bill in the senate. Mr. Me- | Lean pointed out the dangerous char | acter of the duck disease, which is 1 intestinal, and said that unless it Is l checked, the duck tribe Is apt to be
 wiped out completely. He asked why
 the allotment of money for bird res- 1 ervations was reduced. MT. Mclean 1 said in part:
 MT. President, I do not think that the reduction of this appropriation will be in the interest of economy. If
 I understand this demand, it is for
 the protection of Big Lake, as the
 senator from North Dakota (Mr
 Gronna) has said, for Su1lys Hill park, and for some other reserves for which at present there are no funds
 There are some 70 of these bird re-
 serves in the country. I am informed
 by reliable parties that something like 10O,0OO wild fowl were killed in vio- latiOn of law on Big Lake during the last season. The hunters respect no
 season, but they kill the wild fowl at all times.
 Tt is very important that these re- serves should have a reasonable sum appropriated for their protection. am quite certain that this money is felt to be necessary by those who have the reSpOnSibilit of policing the re-
 serves. I certainly hope that the amendment of the committee will be l rejected. Otherwise we shall have
 some of the most important of these
 reserves entirely without protection I repeat, it has been reported to me
 that 100000 ducks were killed in one Of those reserves in one season, in
 violation of the law and without any sons"
 No More Seeds
 Senator Brandegee of Connecticut voted to strike from the agricultural appropriation bill the provision for distribution of free government seeds. The amendment was adopted He had previously voted for Senator Norris amendment providing that free seeds, etc., should be distributed by the gov
 ernment to persons actually request ing them That amendment against which Senator Mclean voted, was de-
 feated, so that there will be nothing doing in free seeds unless the house | conferees on the agricultural bill l stand pat and force the senate to come to terms. The bill as it passed 1 the house provided for free seeds.

HIbBARD COMPANY
 WILL BUILD SCHOOL
Addition at 0Sgood Hill House
 Planned-SeptiC Sewage Tank

On the recommendation of Chair on school accommodations, the school board at a special meeting yes terday afternoon voted to let the con- tract for the two room addition to the Osgood Hill school to the B. H. Hubbard Co. Four bids were sub- mitted the lowest being from A. P. Leavitt, but the bid came in late and was not accompanied by a certified check and no time was fixed for the completion of the work The Hib bard company fixed October 5 for the completion and the price at $10,- 762. Leavitt's bid was s10,420
 The heating contract was let to Parker & O'Connor at $1,7ss. It was explained that this would include tearing out the old heating system. J. o. Mills was awarded the plum bin g contract at $1,020. It was brought out that this did not include the sew age work and it was explained that the committee intended installing a septic tank. Judge Gaffney inquired if the health board would permit the installation. E. o. Kilbourne said sep tic tanks are installed in many places where no regular sewer system exists. The plan is perfectly feasible, said MT. Kilbourne.
 On the question of paying for the work at the Osgood Hill school, MT. Traut said a building fund of $29, ,OO0 exists, money left from other work. The only question in the mind of Judge Gaffney was whether the money could be used without direct permission from the board of finance and taxation. After some investiga- tion it was decided that the fund would be available and a vote was taken to use it with the approval of the finance board.
 L. H. Pease for the finance com- mittee reported that S9,392.46 is due J. P. Sullivan for coal recently deliv- cred and $1,S80.32 to the H. R. Walk CT Co.,, for delivery. It was brought out that the coal cost delivered $7.95 a gross ton. Payment was author ized.

The agreement in conference means that both provisions stay in the bill as it will go to the president for signature The Duck Island item was somewhat modified

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
 TO CENTER IN MAINE
Mccormick and Cummings Confer; G. O.P. May Work There Too

New York, July 6.--Vance McCor- mick, chairman of the Democratic National committee, believes that there is a lot of truth in the old po- litical adage, "As goes Maine so goes the nation.' Yesterday he called in Homer s. Cummings, of Stamford, Conn.,, vice chairman of the national committee and head of the speakers bureau, and discussed plans for mak- ing the September campaign in the Pine Tree state one of the o1d-fash- toned, rip-snortin' kind.
 The Maine election is usually a red- hot affair, and it wouldn't be in the least surprising if the democrats per suaded President Wilson to make a speech or two there this year.
 Hot Conference Planned.
 Tn a general way MT. Mccormick and his advisers are planning to make former Maine elections look like pink teas compared to the coming one. Cabinet officers, United States sena- tors, congressman and democrats of oratorical renown will be hustled into the state as soon as congress adjourns. And then the fur will begin to fly.
 There is an additional reason for democratic anxiety over Maine this year, and that is the reelection of United States senator Johnson. The latter is a democrat and while the members of President Wilson's party have a comfortable majority in the senate, they don't want to lose any more senators than they have to this fall. There is also a governor to be elected in Maine this September.
 Republicans May Start There.
 Justice Hughes was urged yesterday to begin his campaign in Maine and thus prevent the democrats from prancing too much in the limelight. The request came from Fred Hale who is the republican candidate to succeed Senator Johnson. MT. Hale called on the presidential nominee yesterday.
 There have been reports that sev- eral progressives, among them Everett Colby, of New Jersey, and James R. Garfield, of Ohio, will augment the galaxy of republican orators in Maine during the latter part of August.

TAFT And ROOT
OPPOSE BRANDEIS
With Five Other EX-PreSi-
dents Of Bar Association
Protest Appointment.

Washington, March H-EX-Prcsi-
dent Taft and six other cX-presidents
Of the American Bar Association TO-
day protested to the Senate judiciary
subcommittee against confirmation Of
the nomination Of Louis D. Brandeis
for the Supreme Court. The others
were Simeon L. Baldwin francis
Rawle, Joseph II. Choato, Elihu Root
Moorfeld Story and Peter W. Moldrum.
The first SIX sent a letter stating
that they felt under the painful duty
to say TO you that, in their opinion,
taking into view the reputation, char
acter and professional career OF Louis
D. Brandeis, ne is not fit person to
be a member Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States
Mr.. Neldrim wrote from Savannah,
Ga: my reason for refusing TO APP
prove was that the reputation of Mr.
Brandeis at his home bar makes him
an unfit person to be appointed"
Both letters were read TO the COM
mittee to-day by Austen G.. Fox, at
torney for the opposition TO the con-
firmation, at the rcopening Of public
hearings.
William T. Fitzgerald, Boston
broker, testified as to Brandcis's con-
nection with the Old Dominion Copper
Company case. In 1903, re said. Bran
deis was employed by Towle & Fitz-
gerald TO help get rroX.es 20 gain con-
troll Of the company. They were sGc-
/ cessful, and. after c.cctinG new di-
rectors, l. was found necessary TO raise
more funds. Finally, Fitzgerald testi-
fed, 81 was planned 30 consolidate with
the United Globe Mining Company, ad-
joining, and to give the Old Dominion
stockholders, some OF whom Fitzgerald
represented, a tWo-tO-one interest.
/ An engineer employed By the old Do
minion directors 10 examine the prop
critics recommended, however. Fitzger-
aid testified, that the Old Dominion
stockholders should receive a four-to-
one interest. Fitzgerald said Brandeis
cOuntenanced the directors IN conceal
/ ing this report from the stockholders,
and the public for two or three weeks.
Fitzgerald added that, when he pro-
tested 20 Brandeis. the latter respond
ed that he had better 90 IN with the
merger or get on the band wagon.
FITZGERALD testified that his partner
resigned from the board OF directors as
result Of the incident.
Edward I. McClennan. Brandeis' s
law partner. testified that he was not
familiar with the plan for financing
the Old Dominion company, but could
not conceive of any immortality in the
affair.
Senator Cummins cut short Mr.. Nc
Clemens testimony by remarking Mr..
Fitzgerald's testimony had made no
impression on him. and the committee
recessed until tomorrow. 10 hear add
tional witnesses REGARDING the Old Do
