ABE" Foote

One of Addison County's chief points
OF personal interest in the legislative
session is the fact that her ex-senator.
ABE" Foote of Cornwall, is even more
IN the lime-light at Montpelier than
most of the active members from this
section. To his success at the ycrv
start, in swinging the election of Mr..
Dana as speaker, Mr.. Foote has added
another triumph in the passage of a
bill which legalizes bonds of the federal
farm loan banks as proper investment
for Vermont savings banks.
Considering that Mr.. Foote had the
banking interests generally against him
IN a close fight, his success as a legis-
Iative helmsman appears to be a mat
ter of real note.
Although twenty-six states in the
union had legalized the bonds of fed
eral farm loan banks, Bank Commiss-
Toner Williams had pointed out that
the plan had had only two years trial,
and banking interests endeavored to
show that these securities were not
sufficiently established.
Mr.. Foote realized the strength of
his opposition and called on G.. w.
Norris, chairman of the Farm Loan
Board, who came from Washington
and appeared before the Senate Com
mittee. On the third reading the bill
passed only by the narrow margin of
10 to 13.
The dramatic climax of Mr.. Foote'S
campaign came with the conversion of
Senator Amey of Essex who first voted
against the bill, but who, before its
final passage, made remarkable speech
in support of it.
Incidentally" as the Rutland Her
aid adds, "Mr. Foote has proved him
self one of the shrewdest legislative
workers who ever dragooned a bill
through both Houses"

NEW TRUSTEES ARE

The College administration considers
that the Board of Trustees is consid-
ably strengthened by the addition OF
these three men, all deeply interested
in Middlebury. Mr. Swift is promi-
nent capitalist, particularly interested
in Philippine Railways His marriage
to ex-governor Stewards daughter OF
Middlebury and his partial residence
in Middlebury has given him a close
attachment to the Institutional life
here, and he has evinced this on several
occasions
Redheld Proctor is a son of Senator

A grand old Vermonter died yester-
dav in California, Ex-senator George
F Edmunds had reached his 9lst year,
but a long illness had kept him in retire
ment for so long a time that even his
native state may be guilty of bit OF
forgetfulness of his remarkable service.
For twenty-five years he had served
Vermont in the United States Senate,
and was such powerful statesman
that he became known as "the adviser
of presidents" The Edmunds Act, SUI
pressing polygamy in Utah, was meas
IRE with which his name was princi-
pally linked, but it may be viewed as
a minor achievement compared with
many other measures which could be
placed largely to his credit. In the
closing days of his long political career
he helped to draw up that famous
antitrust law which bears the name OF
the Sherman Act.
Neither the state of Vermont nor the
national Senate will overlook, at his
final passing, the pleasure and obliga-
ton of paying him the grand tribute
which his craftsmanship deserves.

Country places will soon have to take
a lesson from the cities and provide
municipal ownership of some OF our
public watering resorts. We feel it is
a public calamity that the only con-
siderable bathing beach at Lake Dun
more has this week passed into the con-
troll of outside parties who apparently
propose to entirely close the beach
against public use. People of Middle
bury, Brandon, Leicester, Salisbury and
some other towns thus suffer the loss
of practically the only place in this
vicinity where public bathing could be
enjoyed during the heated season., "a
loss which doubtless could have been
easily averted if the public had known
that the loss was threatening. 1t seems
as though it would have been an easy
matter for the people of the four town
ships to have raised the necessary sum
to purchase at least enough of the pro-
perty to provide for a public bath
house. True it is that still some spot
may be found where swimmers general
ly may enjoy themselves in the Lake,
but there should be provided some pub
lie stretch of lake frontage where family
parties and Others could feel free to
enjoy what is natural blessing of this
section of the county, and one of the
beauty spots Of Vermont.
