taken shelter was struck, A sheep was
also killed by the bolt. Several other

GOVERNOR ALLEN
GOES INTO BOTTLE
SELLING BUSINESS

In accordance with the increased

Governor" Allen has entered the bot

on the time-honored "poosh-cart"
looks as though he might have formed
a Bottle Recovery Syndicate with
himsolf-and seems to be prospering,
at least his appearance near the via
duct Wednesday morning would indi-
cate success in the new venture.
Large bottles, small bottles, long
bottles, short bottles, beer bottles,
whiskey bottles and even catsup bot.
ties comprised the load of the rickety-
wheeled "one-man power truck of the
governors"
Above Governor" Aliens ears
pcrched new "sky-piece" and a fresh
shave indicated that something was
giving a bounteous yield of coins.
No one popped" the question as to
how the project was working for the
governor" and consequently no reply
was forthcoming but it is possible
that the bottles, dirty and clean, were
a source of dividends.
This is the first time that Cover
nor" Allen has been known to have
leanings toward the bottle business,
but since it has apparently turned out
so successfully, it is not a business to
be Immediately suspended. Wood and
iron have usually been the "goyer-
nor's" stock-in-trade.

Congressman Frank L. Green
was attending to his official duties
in Washington this week, while Con-
gresham Porter H. Dale was hob
nobbing at Montpelier with the
members of the legislature and
numerous other men interested in
politics. Of course Mr.. Dale was
not really needed in Washington at
this time. And of course he was
not doing a thing toward building
up his political fences by being in
Montpelier. "-Brattleboro Reformer
"Yes, and Congressman Porter H.
Dale was attending to his official du-
ties last week when Congressman
Frank L. Green was hobnobbing
with the members of the Dairymen's
Association and of the legislature
and other men interested in politics.
Zone proposition is just as fair as
the other, and both are small fish,
few in a catch. To attempt to dis
credit public servant by such shin
erbait methods is pretty poor bust
ness.
"Mr. Dale made a flying trip to
Montpelier to listen to his neighbours

He returned the same night, and he
missed no important transaction of
Congress.

form of government that they were
when Vermont first declared its in
dependence. Why have "the duties
of the administrative department
gradually become highly diferentia-
ted in structural partition and
functional development y? Is not
the governor supposed to carry out
the will of the people as expressed in
the acts of the legislature and the
accepted form of government, with
such vested rights as are necessary
to handle questions arising that only
could be handled by the legislature,
and are necessarily part OF the ex-
ecutive's duties? These should
be given the governor, but we say
that all the vested rights necessary
for justice and good government
have been given the governor. The
right to remove State officers by the
governor arbitrarily and without a
full and impartial hearing borders
too much on a despotic government
to be compatible with the democrat
tic principles of this republic and the
independent action that has hereto
fore made Vermont noted for justice
ard patriotism. We contend that
the State can in no way be bettered
by increased vested rights. and that
an enlargement of these powers are
dangerous and jeopardisa a govern
ment "of the people, for the people,
and by the people" We are not ar
chaic or believe what "has been" is
good enough for present day de-
mands, but we do believe that vested
rights of Vermont's governor "are
sufficient unto the day and the evil
thereof"

Oldest Library in the State.

Brookfield has the distinction of
having the first library organized in
the state. On June 7th, 1916, it
rounded out full 125 years. A
most notable thing in its history is
that in all those years it has never
missed scheduled meeting, annual
or quarterly. Started as the Brook
field public library, in later years it
has been known as the Brookfield
social library. On August 5, 1916,
the 125th anniversary of its birth
was celebrated. Since the event was
designed to be an Old Home as well
as an anniversary day, the speakers
were all men born and reared in
Brookfield. Prof. A. w. Eeson, a
former principal of Randolph state
normal school, now superintendent
of schools in New York city, and
Prof. w. P. Abbott, superintendent
of schools in Springfield, Mass. spoke
of the library as it has been, and the
work it can and is expected to do for
the schools and the community as a
VIII ole in the future.
On September 80, 1916, it was vot-
ed by the association to merge with
the Brookfield free public library,
placing itself under the control of
five trustees elected by the town, and
accepting state and town aid. 1t
has recently been classified and cata-
logued with the help of the free
public library commissions secretary
and first assistant. The citizens are
looking forward with justifiable
pride to the work it will do as free
library.

The St.Albans Messenger says that
THE HERALD's contentious relative
to Governor Graham's recommended
tons as to the board of control and
increased powers of the executive
are incompatible. We admit that
in sense they are, but no more so
than Governor Graham's recommen-
dations on those subjects. A board
of control would be taken to restrict
the powers of tie chief executive
end more vested rights or plenary
powers would give the chief execu-
tive greater power. Two regulations
or laws ametrically opposed. THE
HERALD did not construe Governor
Graham's recommendations in that
light and we do not believe they are
generally so taken. The board of
control is a court to share RESPONSE
bility, and the intent probably that
better decisions on matters coming
before the chief executive can be
obtained through the action of the
board. We do dot think conditions
are any different today as regards
the principles of a representative

The Barre Daily Times criticises-
as it surely has a right to do-the
remarks of Congressman Dale in the
House of Representatives on the
death of Admiral Dewey. The Times
thinks Mr.. Dale may have been
swept by wave of home-state pa
triotism" and that "it was more or
less of a provincial point of view"
when he said that, beyond that
stands the superlative fact that Ver-
mont gave him to the Nation" 1t
would be we'll to consider the whole
sentence in connection with the part
The Times takes exception to. The
paragraph entire reads: 1T is a
glorious reflection that this Nation
has given such an influence to all the
world, and beyond that stands the
superlative fact that Vermont gave
him to the Nation" Now why not
"superlative?" Has any Vermonter
brought greater honor to the State?
Has Vermont given any son to the
national cause who has accomplished
greater deeds in history-making;
shown greater discipline, courage,
skill, poise;;" and shown more loyal,
faithful, patriotic citizenship than
Admiral George Dewey? We are
"superlatively" honored as State
by the life and deeds of Admiral
Dewey. The Times says, But the
'superlative fact'-no." We say the
"superlative fact"-yes.
