Only one man in 10000 is self supporting at the age of 70 years.

we have the immense benefit OF our
cleared dockets and prompter admins
tration of justice. Why then should you
not help to overturn our dual system oil
county and supreme courts, when they
have found that system TO be benehciai
to the state?
Much stress has been laid on Governor
Graham's recommendations because ne
has been auditor. Conceding to our gen
ial governor the qualifications to which
he is entitled, we do not agree with the
conclusion that because he has been audi
tor he has become qualified to Judge
whether we should go further in the ex-
Fermentation with municipal courts, OF
return them to their old position, no more
than the fact that man has been audi
tor OF railroad qualities him TO DO
president or manager.
If he is a competent Judge as to whetn-
err our courts should be overhauled, ne is
such Judge because he has certain inti-
mate knowledge of running the machn,
cry of justice, so he can say what ola
machinery should be strapped and what
new machinery should be put in.
Governor Graham is not the first o.
our governors to propose changes IN our
courts and the fact that he does not
agree with his predecessors on the plan
of reorganization is some ground for the
belief that his successors may not agree
with him. But the people should remem.
Der that governors come and go but that
courts go on forever and that they have
a more intimate relation with communi: |
ties than governors. The security OF
persons and the public peace
must ever depend largely upon our courts
and constant tinkering with them has
never produced good results, and never
will. John w. Gordon.

"Uncle Horace" Stirs Vermont.

| The 59th governor of Vermont, Horace
French Graham of Craftsbury, started off
| by recommending such an oyerturning in
! the government of that state as must
startle all who are contented with the
existing order. He would reduce the of
| fees and centralize authority and re-
sponsibility along the lines of modern
thinking, and has given sufficient consid-
Grafton to this problem to produce pro-
gram that will attract much attention
beyond the borders of the Green Noun
tain state. 1t is the Vermont custom
to permit the retiring executive to pro-
nounce valedictory, and so ex-Gov.
Charles w. Gates made one of the long
est addresses on record at Montpelier
last Thursday, but his effort was blanket
ed by the revolutionary program which
the new governor offered to the legisla
ture.
Gov. Graham calls for a board of con-
troll in state affairs that would replace
many existing officials and commission
ers, one of whose duties-acting with
the chairman of the finance committee of
the Senate and of the ways and means
and appropria tions committee of the
House--would be to make up budget
for state expenditures. This depository
for executive authority he would have
made mp of the governor commissioner
of agriculture and forestry director OF
state Institutions, purchasing agent and
state engineers, with the secretary OF
civil and military affairs as secretary of
the board Appointments by the govern
or, under this plan, would be submitted
to this board of control, except those of
the public service commission, tax com
missioners and bank commissioners.
No less searching is Gov. Graham's
proposed reorganization of Vermont's jul
dicial system. In proposing to abolish
the superior court he puts himself in OPP
position to the state bar association. He
would give the duties of the superior
court to the supreme court with nine jus
tees. The governor urges the reorgan-
liza ton of the municipal courts into II
districts, and would have a trial justice
in each town with limited jurisdiction
who could "bind up" to the proper court /
persons charged with any oiIense. In or
der to expedite justice the governor |
would have it ordained that if an opinion |
is not fled on the second succeeding term |
of the supreme court after hearing the /
ease should be remanded with Judgment I
affirmed. The consolidation of the pro- /
bate courts of each county INTO a single I
district, with the possible exceptions of I
and Orange counties, is urged.
All these things and more constitute "a
plan of constructive legislation greater
than any other man Of the state has ever 1

there may be hostility or fervid espousal,
it goes without saying that the recon-
mendations should be given most careful
scrutiny inasmuch as some radical
changes are proposed. The legislators
in particular, who are TO be called upon
to act on the recommendations, should
approach the matter with open mind and
without preconceived bias one way or the
other. 1t should be borne in mind. how
ever, that the executive who makes the
recommendation has no personal axe TO
grind but is sincerely DESTROYS OF advance
ing the interests of the state. Moreover,
il also should be considered that his rec
concentrations cannot be called the result
of snap judgment but as the outcome OF
observation over a period OF IA years,
during which time he has been in more
or less close contact with the affairs of
the commonwealth. Therefore, there
should be no disposition to turn down the
in toto or to enact them into
law in the same comprehensive manner.
Let us, rather, give them full and fair
hearing and then take final action in the
light of intelligent Interpretation OF the
ideas presented.

CURRENT COMMENT
How They Do 1t in Russia.

The reports of the monk Rasputin's
death have been repeated often enough
| from Petrograd, and are now given with
sufficient detail to merit belief. Even a
Russian censorship would hardly permit
| such reports unless they were true.
Rasputin has been figure as mysteri-
Gus as he was sinister. Without doubt
he welded some sort of superstitious in
fluenee with the court, if not with the
car himself. He was charged with being
the center of the reactionary influence
and hence of the pro- German sentiment
in the upper classes of Russia, who re-
Gently plotted to make separate peace
with Germany, because they have long
realized that their bread is buttered on
the same side as that of the Prussian
military class. They are both in the
same business, that of keeping the people
in subsection. 1t was freely limited dur
ing the upheaval in the Duma last No
vember, when Premier Sturmer went out
and Trepoff came in, that the monk Ras-
putin was the pro-German mouse in the
meal"
Coincidentally, Sazonoff, who was Rus
sia's foreign minister when the war broke
out and an official especially acceptable
to the allies, has been asked back into
the ministerial council His dismissal
was one of the grievances of the anti
German party in Russia.
Atrocious and cold blooded as the cir
of Rasputin's death sound,
there is this to remember: The more rig
id the form of government the more vio
lent are the means necessary to overturn
it. If man cannot be voted out Of u
position of authority he is likely to be
shot out of it. 1t is only when a govern
ment sits on the safety valve that the
boiler hursts-Boston Globe.

Through what appears to be more or
less of technicality, the Vermont Sol
dier's home at Bennington is to lose, tenn
porarily at least. federal appropriation

OF Vermont appropriated S22,5276O for

during the year 1916, the Bennington in

a state institution. The Vermont dele
cation in Washington should take this
matter up at once and convince the fed

The delay of the entente allies in re-
