Rutland Herald.l


The plague of pneumonia has robbed
Vermont of one of its keenest legal
minds in taking from the fraternity
of the law Robert c. Bacon of Brattle
boro Though not son of the soil, Mr..
Bacon with nearly 90 years of activity
in his profession in this state, was one
of Vermont s adopted sons of whom
Eshe was proud Genial, courteous, well
grounded in his profession, Robert Ba-
con was the sort of man that made
friends. He never spoke i'll of man
and he never permitted himself to over
step the license accorded him as a
practitioner of the law in the conduct
of case in court. He was one of the
busiest members of his profession to be
found in the state. He was able to
work long periods without recreation,
periods filled with the most exacting
tasks.
In love with his profession, Mr.. Ba,
con refused for many years to accept
public Office, preferring to be unhamp'
cred through political entanglements
Only after being importuncd did he ac-
cept a position upon the public serv-
ice commission. He accepted with the
distinct understanding that he would
not be rubber stamp official, that the
| commission be given authority to en-
force its mandates. Satisfied that he
| had served the state sufficiently in that
| capacity, Mr.. Bacon recently resigned
as chairman of the public service com
mission to form law partnership will

with decidedly bright future in an

ternity and men connected with pub
lie affairs, understand the strength O

in the taking away of Robert Bacon il

SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1919.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

1t will surprise Vermonters to learn
that three legislatures of this state
have refused to amend the constitution
so that vacancies in the house of rep.
resentatives can be filled. The three
legislatures are those of 1869, 1880.
and 1900. This information is cleaned
from letter of John NJ Avery, legis-
lative reference librarian, to Repre-
sentative-elect George l.. Durham of
this town, who wished to introduce a
bill providing for filing vacancies in
the house. Mr.. Avery further states
that only about thirty eight states have
such provision, adding that in his
opinion Vermont cannot pass such law
because "there is at present no consti-
tutional provision authorizing the pas
sage of such legislation"
The need of such a law has been
brought out by the death of Repre-
sentativeelect Davis of the town of
Windsor but remedying the defect will
be long process. Proposals for
amendments to the state constitution
cannot be made until the session OF
1921, then only by two thirds vote OF
the senate and majority vote of the
house. If voted then the amendments
must wait until the session of 1925
and a majority of the members of the
senate and house of that year must
concur in the amendments and pro
vide for their submission to the free
men of. the state. If majority of tn,
freemen concur the amendment is com
pleted. So it will be six years hefor,
the state can have such a law. Unles:
there is great change in sentiment
it probably will have one then.

The reconstruction of gown is
IN reality quite simple. If the lines of
the frock are good some little added
touch, like collar and cuff set or some
unique way of draping the skirt, will
give an entirely new and fresh look to
the dress.
Lace, the beautiful There is always
something about this filmy texture that
bewitches even the most cautious of
women. There is just myriad of va
rious little things lying about the shops,
and each individual taste may be sat
isfed. Vests of filet lace, to be worn
with velvet dresses, are at present very
smart In some cases there is a collar
and cuff to match the vest, but one
must be very careful not to overdo with
an abundance of lace. Just enough
looks refined. but too much is inclined
to look cheap, even though the lace be
of the most expensive quality.
