governor said, and when he stated thai
a Europe OF republics instead Of monar
chles would never have become embroiled
in the present war, his words were re-
lceiyed with loud acclaim.
The governor touched upon some OF
the extreme viewpoints OF labor which
came TO the surface in Barre not long
since and expressed his belief that such
extremes are not being fostercd by or
foundations like the state federation, Tie
reiterated statement made by him
sometime ago that Vermont could well
afford TO stand still in the matter of
population il an increase Is to be made
at the cost OF lowering the standards of
its citizenship, He was in favor of well
coming 10 the borders of the state all
men who stand ready to support the
highest type of citizenship and to set
themselves to the task OF upholding the
traditions Of her splendid past. As he
sat down, after thanking the delegates
again for the courtesy extended him, he
was warmly applauded.

BACK IN THE NEWSPAPER GAME
Frank I. Parsons, sergeant-at- at
the State House, gets back into the
newspaper making harness again. He
has become editor and manager of the
Mortified News, acting, as we presume,
for the corporation recently formed with
himself as one of the three subscribers,
the others being Erval NJ Whitney and
Edward H. Deavitt Mr. Parsons came
to Vermont from Waterbury, Conn. and
assumed the business managers position
on the Rutland Herald, which he filed
for few years. Latterly he had been
serving aeceptably as sergeant at arms
at the State House; but the lure of the
newspaper business apparently became
too strong for him to resist and he has
again joined the ranks. We understand
that Mr. Parsons will divide his time
between his work at Mortified and his
official position at Montpelier. 1t is GER
tain that Mr. Parsons will be able to
give Mortified a good newspaper be-
cause he has had ample training in news

Fred n. Whitney, who turns over the
management of the newspaper property
10 Mr.. Parsons, will remain in the office
and will assist in getting the new editor
started in the work. For the past four
and one half years, or since the death Of
her husband, Mrs. Whitney has been
carrying on the newspaper and she now
feels the need of lessenng the burden

good newspaper under Mr.. Whitney; it
continued to be under Mrs Whitney;

THE BANQUET
Served at Clan Gordon Hall After the

After the mass meeting in the opera
house substantial 10 o'clock dinner
served in Clan Gordon hall offered dele
gates and guests an opportunity to relax
from the round OF business speeehmak-
ing and routine of the first two days Of
the convention. 1t was an entirely IN
formal affair and everyone entered heart

Maybe it was bit later than ~ o'clock

ference When President Gompers was
escorted into the banquet hall, the diners
arose as one and sang. III You Don't
Like Your Uncle Sammy" a song that
stirred the hearts OF the delegates IN the
afternoon session when Mr., Gompers re-
quested Angus Mcdonald to sing the
first verse and chorus as an expression
of his sentiments toward those who are
not content to abide by the liberal pro
visions Of citizenship provided by the
United States constitution. A loud cheer

coMpER's CLAIM on UNION LABOR


1t is easy to comprehend the hold
which Samuel Gompers has on the trade
nnionists of the country, to understand
why he has been elected wear after year

Of Labor. There are three salient rea
cons for It. In the first place. he seems
to be, and undoubtedly is. devoted whole
heartedly to the cause Of the working
men, 10 be willing to give the best that
Is in him for the advancement Of their
interests. Indeed, what man of conyic-
tion would not be devoted whole heart
ely after serving 26 wears at trade
and then for many years in the execu-
tive councils of the labor movement =
And we give Gompers credit for being a
man Of conviction. In the second place.
Gompers is a tactician of skill and Of
wide experience; he has directed count
less campaigns and he is rather close

PASSOVER WILL
BEGIN APRIL II
WILL BE OBERVED 7 DAYS BY
REFORM AND TWO DAYS BY
ORTHODOX JEWS.

Pesarch, or Passover begun yes
terday evening, April II, and is OBJ
served for several days by reform and
two days by Orthodox congregations.
1t is the first festival of emaneipa-
ton in the history of civilization. It's
commemoration is based on the Bibli-
cal narrative which tells how the peo-
pie of Israel enslaved in Egypt were
led from bondage to freedom by the
great leader Moses.
The Passover festival speaks for
the sanctity of the home as well as
for self-respect and liberty. The
Jews accordingly assemble in their
homes on this festival, and signalize
it by a solemn service in which the
story of the ancient struggle for
emancipation is recounted with pious
fervor.
The Passover is the most ancient OF
the Jewish holidays and perhaps the
most ancient of all holidays in the
history of religion, and no holiday is
so near the truth of human life as it is.
The favorite book for reading du-
ring the Passover week is the Song
of Songs" 1t is the most classical
song of love in canonized literature
and is read on this festival because,
according to the traditional view, it
bespeaks the love between God and
Israel.

DIPPING VAT IS
MUCH IN DEMAND
FARM DEMONSTRATORS DUNN
WRITES TO HOG AND CAT
TIE RAISERS.

Ninety-five head OF cattle we're dip
ped yesterday at the Glynn county
dipping vat and large number of
hogs were treated for various pur-
poses.
In response to the wide interest the
"bettef hogs and-better-cattle" cam
paign IS creating in the county, Farm
Demonstration Agent J. l.. Dunn writes
the following advice that owners may
use in Kidding their hogs and cattle of
ticks and lice:
Lice on hogs suck their blood and
lower their vitality as does the tick on
cattle. Farmers should frequently
examine their hogs about the ears,
TANKS, and inside of the legs to see
If they are lousy. There are several
methods lice can be controlled. the
best Of which is by dipping, either in
them through a cattle dipping vat, or
dipping them by hand in a barrel or
other receptacle. Dipping does not as
a rule destroy the eggs or nits, and
hogs should be dipped frequently to
kill the lice that hatch out of the eggs
after the previous dipping. Several
dippings at intervals OF two weeks
may be necessary before the lice are
completely oradicated. Sleeping quar-
tiers should be cleaned and disinfected
with solution creosol compound in
the proportion Of three gallons to 100

BIG CHAUTAUQUA
TENTS ARRIVING
SPLENDID ARRAY OF ENTERTAIN
MENTS WILL SOON BEGIN
IN THIS CITY.

The big tent OF the Redpath chau-
city some time late today, and cree
ton will begin Immediately upon ar
rival in order that it may be entirely
ready for the first number of the en-
Treatments, that will be given Sat
urday of this week.
The Redpath chautauquas will be
equipped with new tents this season,
the finest and best that have APP
peared on any circuit. They are made
of heavy Bounce khaki canvas, the
same weight and duality as is used
by the United States army. A spe-
cial process renders them water
proof and mildew proof and numer-
Gus guy and guide ropes make them
almost as stable as permanent
building. In fact, it is said that it
would take a cyclone that would
move building to do any damage to
these tents.
Each program is interesting and in
large measure instructive, yet there
is an abundance of good entertain
ment. The Weatherwax Brothers
quartet is one of the groups of enter
tanners. These brothers have been
delighting audiences for the past
twenty years with their songs, instru-
mental music and readings.
The Killarney Girls, six of them,
will appear in Irish costumes and
present a program of Irish songs that
range from simple folklore to the
classic.
