Mrs. Lasher Wen Remembered Here.

The death OF Mrs Caroline A. Lasher,
Aug 10, at Mrs. Halls in Brattleboro, of
heart trouble. came as a great surprise
to her many friends here who supposed
her to be in her usual health. Mrs.
Lasher is well remembered among the
older residents of this part of the town
for her untiring efforts in reorganiZing
the Congregational church in $780, and
her cheerful presence and generous ma
tIlre will not soon be forgotten among
those whose doors gladly opened to her.
Mrs. Lashcr labored many years for the
Vermont Domestic Missionary society
and her undaunted courage in facing the
cold and storms of our Vermont winters
was doubtless the means of bringing on
the martial paralysis several years ago.
which incapacitated her for further mis-
sionary work Mrs. Lasher possessed p
musical voice of rare clearness and
quality of tone and was a speaker of
more than ordinary ability, often select
ing her text after entering the pulpit.
Her immediate relatives reside in Cali
fornia. None of them were present at
the funeral, which was held Monday
afternoon in Mitchell's rooms. offended

ence of few nearby friends. who truly
felt that her hopes and prayers We're
answered and she was made well again

IL IL IrrcIncuiablc?

IN connection with the protest raised
l against the erection of State Office build
ing on Capitol Square. the Governor points
out that the building commission has no
choice OF courses under the law. The act
authorizing the construction of the Office
building designated the southeast corner
OF the Capitol grounds as the site, with the
qualification that any other suitable site
might be used If obtained without cost to
the state. Says the Governor: THE law is
Explanatory. The commissions hands
are tied
That is true. Al the moment the com
missions hands are tied. But is II not
possible that the commissions hands might
be unbound in time TO avert a step that
would certainly be regretted by the peo-
pie of the State? Consider the circum-
stances. The popular impression is that the
General Assembly will be convened in spe-
ciai session before many weeks have passed,
and there is Il strong popular feeling that.
on second thought, the legislators would
perceive the untitness of the site first desg-
mated and make provision for another. 1t
Will be recalled that public attention was
not centered upon the selection when the
matter was before tho General Assembly
Certainly, those who are raising their voices
IN protest now would have done so then if
they had fully comprehended the import
Of the building enactment. Doubtless many
legislators voted for this bill without hav-
ing the unwisdom of the site selection
pressed upon their minds at all The need
of building was given great emphasis. the
choice of site little, ii any.
The legislative act, as interpreted leaves
the Governor and the commission without
authority to acquire another site. and It
should go without saying that they are not
properly subject to criticism for failing to
exceed the authority granted them under the
law. But the question arises: If a special
session is in prospect, and if they feel that
