The water power interests having
their headquarters under the hat of The
Reformer's legal mentor would like a
candidate for governor who would pro-
mote their ends. Vermont tax
payers, who have refused to bond for
roads for themselves, will not bond this
year or later on for storage reservoirs
for concerns whose principal service is
building up towns in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island instead of Vermont. -
Burlington Free Press.
Which in plain English means that the
Free Ptess is opposed to the scheme
advocated by Clarke c. Fits for the es-
Establishment by the State of storage
reservoirs to conserve and equalize the
water supply of its many streams. The
Free Press might have stated the fact
thus plainly, but it did not for the
reason, no doubt, that it was afraid
some one would have understood what
il meant.

To Those Who
Borrow of or
Deposit in
Banks

The first element OF safety in con-
Quoting Banks is sound business judg-
ment in placing loans.
A man may be a good lawyer, a
good physician, a good teacher, and
yet be entirely unreliable and unsafe
as Bank director.
The President of Bank ought to
be man of ripe experience, of uner-
ring judgment as to values and credits
and of a naturally conservative make
up or mental tendency.
But that is not all. He should be
courteous and painstaking, always
ready and willing to assist the borrow
err to bring his securities into such
shape that he can be accommodated
without either violation of law or i'm
peliling the Banks safety.
No Banks ever try harder to take
care OF those who come to them for
banking accommodations than the two
Hyde Park Banks.
If the security or names offered are
good and comply with the require
ments of law and banking rules, the
managers of the Hyde Park Banks
always endeavor to provide the funds.
Persons who wish to borrow are as
sured not only Of courteous treatment

Mr.. BROOKS CORROBORATES
PRESIDENT THOMAS.

Frank H. Brooks of St. Johnsbury
member of the Board of Education, has
made statement confirming the re.
Gently published letter of President
Thomas concerning the Commissioner.
ship of Education. The following letter
from him appeared in the st. Johnsbury
Caledonian.
Editor of The Caledonian:
There recently appeared in Mont
pelier paper statement which I'M
doubtedy formed the basis of your
editorial in your issue of last week.
The unwarranted statement that Dr..
Thomas was not elected Commissioner
of Education because he fixed a salary
of Sc, 900, and that the Board declined
to engage him because the State could
not pay that amount, is unjust and
entirely misleading, both so far as Dr.
Thomas and all others are concerned.
DR.. Thomas name, among many others,
was considered as possible Commits
sioner of Education.
DR.. Thomas in his loyal desire to re-
main for the present as President of
Middlebury College Immediately dis
couraged consideration of his name.
Neither DR.. Thomas nor the one who
approached him ever had the oppor-
tunity to get down to the point of fixing
or naming salary. The only con-
sideration was, would he accept the
position? The salary question was not
discussed save that it was thought
that if he would accept, it could be
satisfactorily arranged for all con-
cerned. DR.. Thomas reply made fur
Their consideration of this question I'M
necessary.
hope this statement will have wide
circulation and that the people of
Vermont will realize that financial con-
siderations are oftentimes of secondary
Importance. 1t is solely to reveal DR..
Thomas noble attitude in what was
done that | am glad to make this state
ment as emphatic as one who talked
with him can make it.

Enosburg Standard.

The Middlebury Register, which
presumably reflects the sentiments OF
the faculty of Mddebury College,
sets a good example in its editorial
comment on the appointment Of Pro-
fessor IIillegas as commissioner of
education,
In a very fair and temperate article,
the Register deprecates the criticism
INDUCED in by certain papers in connec-
ton with the appointment, and reviews
the work Of Professor IIillegas as one
of the Carnegie Investigators.
This is the right kind of talk and
well expresses the sentiments of
fair-minded Vermonters regarding the
new head of the State educational
system.

St, Johnsbury Calcdonian,

St. Johnsbury Calcdonian,
Roger w. Ilulburd has followed the
example of John Il. Weeks and thrown
his hat into the ring in the contest for
the lieutenant-governorship of YER
mont. 1t was the expectation he
would do so that restrained us from
making any comment on the situation
when Mr.. Weeks made his announce
ment. 1t is evident Vermont is to see
at least one real political contest in
the coming campaign that will be set
tied by the primaries, We welcome
the contest because we know that each
one of the contestants is an honorable
man and neither will stoop to any dis
honorable methods in promoting his
campaign, Each man has many
friends and the contest will be a spirit
ed one but Vermont need not expect
any of the Fletcher or Mccullough
methods in its conduct,
Mr.. Weeks will be siXty-two years
old this summer and Mr. Hulburd will
be sixty. SO there is little choice in
their ages. Mr.. Weeks has been quite
Literally recognized in political way
and has made good in every position
he has held. Mr., Hulburd has received
but little at the hands of the State and
there is general feeling he is emit
tied to further recognition and honor.
His ability has long been recognized,
but he has been obliged to remain in
the background on account of the po-
ltical desires of Sen. Carol S. Page
from his town. He has been faithful
to Senator Pages interests in this
way and many who have been cogniz-
ant of his service to the senator are
glad now to see him ask for proper rec
ognition.
1t cannot be stated at this time that

but of the very best efforts OF the man,
ayers of these two Banks to make nego-
tiations for loans successful.
The Banks solicit applications from
those who wish to borrow, and they
will endeavor to see to 1t that
those who apply for loans are not turn
ed empty away, if their paper is, OF
can be made, lawful and good.
Remember that the Hyde Park
Banks regard themselves as proper in
termediaries between those who wish
to borrow and those who have money
to loan. They exist to serve the
public.
The Hyde Park Banks are never
short of money to Vermont applicants
for loans.
During the two panics through which
they have passed, those Of 1895 and
1907, they not only met the demands
of every depositor who wished to with
draw his money without a moments
notice, but they had money in abun-
dance to loan to every Vermonter who
wished to borrow end was able to offer
lawful paper.
This is a broad statement, but the
Hyde Park Banks have assets aggrega-
ting overing S3,5oo,o 900, and the Hyde
Park Savings Bank is the largest Bank
in the world in country village,
If you have money to place on de-
post, send it to Hyde Park. If you
wish to make a loan, borrow of the
HYDE Park Banks. In either case you
will be we'll treated.-N and
Citizen.

Randolph Herald,
The editorial note from the Middle

entitled, "A Fair Chance for DR.,
Iillegas," is not only truthful presen-
tation, but gains added force from the
fact that it is written by DR., John NJ.
Thomas, to whomlthe commssonershiF
was first rendered, but who declined it,
not for merceRary reasons, as reported
but on account Of his loyalty to Middle
bury college and his desire to continue
in service at the head Of that institu'
ton The spirit evinced is thoroughly
in keeping with the high character OF
DR.. Thomas,

he is sure Of victory, because Mr.,
Weeks has strength, His recent SER
vice in the State senate and as speaker
Of the house has given him very wide
acquaintance in the State and the
friends he has made there naturally
will be glad to see him promoted, But
the friends Of Mr., FIulburd believe that
he is one Of the able Vermonters who
has been in eclipse for a long term of
years and his recognition at this time
would be piece Of political justice, So
we expect to see a real contest that
the people must settle at the primary
booth,

FOR HUGHES BUT NOT FOR
PRESIDENT.

To the Editor of the Register;
There are some reasons why it
would be unwise for the Republican
party to choose Justice Hughes as n
presidential candidate, He fits the
place, and the place fits him, where he
now is. His present position is one Of
the most responsible anduseful positions
in the nation, He is pleased with it, and
has discharged the duties imposed upon
him, thus far, to the satisfaction of the
public. This is not an unmportant
fact: for mans usefulness in office
depends upon his fitness and love for
the position. He is relatively young, and
life service OF the highest order for
the whole nation is now assured; where
as, if elected President, his normal
tenure would end in four years. He
could not expect to be reapponted to
the Supreme Bench. Both he and the
nation would suffer loss.
Whether successful or unsuccessful
candidate for the presidency, he would
cause a vacancy on the Supreme Bench,
Have we assurance "doubly sure, y that
an equal or better judge would be
chosen to put on the robes of Justice
Hughes? Brandies is profound legal
student and has stood for noble ideals
and fought corruption in high places;
the same of Hughes; yet the former
meets with opposition from the out
set while the latter was confirmed by
the Senate with no protests from those
in his profession.
That Justice Hughes, if free to serve,
would prove the most acceptable,
popular, and successful candidate is not
questioned; but is it wise, is it kind (or
has kindness no place in politics0 for
politicians to urge or tempt any men,
Der of the Supreme Court to vacate his
exalted position of usefulness? To do
so, would manifestly be going counter
to the best counsels of the fathers.
The trainers of the constitution, if alive,
would frown upon such a course. They
carefully guarded the Supreme Judges
from all outside, or political influences,
and made them amendable to no con-
stituency but their own consciences,
provided for their temporal wants and
gave them life tenure of office. They
were to be free, independent, justice
loving, judicial body, the highest court
of the nation. To put a presidential
bee buzzing IN their court room, and
that contrary to their wishes, is I'M
seemly. 1t is progressing backward.
No member of the Supreme Court was
ever candidate for the presidency.
There is no precedent for such action,
there should be none.
From the beginning of our govern
ment we have been blessed with very
good presidents and that too, while we
have left the Supreme Judges severely
alone. If we fail to do so now, Justice
Hughes, in due time, may advise US to
DO so. L. w. PEET.

A TRIBUTE TO MRS. ROYCE.

To the Editor of the Register,
1t is my earnest desire, as one OF
those who have spent many summers at
Bread Loaf, to pay a brief tribute to
the late Mrs. Thomas +. Boyce, To
many, including myself and my wife,
the last summer was the happest of
all that we had passed there; and !
think | may say confidently that every
one attributed that special and unwonted
happiness to the very kindly influence
of Mrs. Boyce. Her cordial greetings in
the morning were like constant, ever
present rays of sunshine, however
cloudy the day. Her deep interest in
and thoughtful care of the Inns en-
ployees, and her tireless eXertions to
keep everything in proper running
order and her ceaseess helpfulness in
the little things, impressed itself on all.
1t will be very difficult to fill her place
at the Inn, or at Middlebury. But
while we grieve over our loss and tender
our deepest sympathy to her stricken
husband and his son, we will be thank
full for all that she did for our comfort
and happiness last summer. 1t will be
to many of US a lasting memory of one
of Our Fathers chosen ones.

OUR TEAMS MAKE RECORD
LOSE SIX GAMES IN TWO DAYS

BY Mark Shields
A couple Of afternoons ago a jury
trying a coIOred person on a charge
Of murder went to the ball park to
watch the Cubs and Phillies in
action. Court adjourned for the day
and the men were the guests of
President Weeghman of the North
Side club.
A pleasant time was had by all ex-
cept the gent on trial, who did the
best he could in the saIubriOus sur
roundings of the County jail. The
colored person had no hand in the
baseball party, but he may find he
was a very lucky guy.
If we were on trial for murder we
would pull every string we could tail
on to to have the jury sitting on our
case invited to watch the Cubs for
one afternoon. And then we would
feel that our chances for acquittal
were very good.
For the jurymen would see the high
crimes and misdemeanOrs committed
by the North Siders daily, for which
no punishment is inflicted. Ponder
ing over these inhuman acts, the
jurymen would conclude that a Lit.
tie hot-headed indiscretion like muir.
der should never be punished, when
some of the Cubs can get away with
the stuff daily pulled.
At that the Cubs cracked a record
yesterday, scoring two runs. This is
the first time in a week the club has
counted more than one for each nine
innings competition. Also, five hits
were made, which is better than
Tinker's people have been averaging
recently.
With MUIIigan back at short the
club showed a triie more pepper, but
the gingery display was not sus-
tanned. And not all of the members
of the cast were infected hut still

Wondered Wha. He choksd On,

An Idaho guide whose services were
retained by some wealthy young east
erners DESTROYS of hunting In the north
west evidently took them to be the
greenest Of tenderfeet, since he under
took to chaff them with a recital some
thing as follows:
ut was my first grizzly, so I was
mighty proud to kill him in a hand to
hand struggle. We started to fight
about sunrise. When he finally gave
up the ghost the sun was going down"
this point the guide paused to
note the effect of his story. Not a
word was said by the fasteners, so
the guide added very slowly, 'for the
second time"

tleman, a dapper little Bostonian,
that it required a period of two days
to enable you to dispose Of that griz.

guide, with a grin. "That grizzly died
mighty hard"
"Choked to death?" asked the Bos
tonian.
"Yes, SIR" said the guide.
Pardon me-" continued the Hubite,
"but what did you try to get him to
swallow?
