and Citizen MORRISVILLE AND HYDE PARK WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1909. L. H. LEWIS, Editor and Manager When a man will spend $2,000 for eight tickets for a foot-ball game it is only right that he be examined as to his sanity. He has every indication of being a fit subject for a lunatic asylum.
What was the matter with the Sheriff of Essex county that it was necessary for the Sheriff of Caledonia to go over there last Saturday and make that liquor raid? Hasn't he the same legal authority as the Caledonia official The St. Johnsbury Republican says that "Fleetwood is optimistic." Well, why shouldn't he be with such a splendid outlook as he now has for the Governorship? No need of being otherwise than "optimistic" when things are as they are. M. C. Reynolds, the new business manager of the Essex Syndicate, has had long experience as an advertising agent.
In his new position he will know how it is himself in dealing with advertising agents and how pleasant (and sometimes 111- pleasant) it is to do business with them. Gov. Prouty's Thanksgiving proclamation, which is found on elsewhere, evokes unusualcomments. The St. Johnsbury Republican callsit "a veritable poem in prose.
It's like a pastoral. Onereadsit and is thankful that he is alive, but is at once overtaken with an uncontrollable desire to go out and kill something-in the turkey line." The Boston Globe intimates that the Governor "got almost everything into his Thanksgiving proclamation excepting a recipe for cooking the Thanksgiving turkey." Anyhow, it is good reading and well worthy of perusal. In the fifteen counties of South Carolina which voted "dry" last August, the drastic prohibition law enacted at the last session of the legislature went into effect last week. With the closing of the dispensaries in these fifteen counties only six remain "wet," twenty-one having been "dry" at the time of the local option election last summer. The statute not only forbids the sale of liquor in the "dry" counties, but it prohibits ing in possession" any liquor whatever.
Those who think Vermont is rigid with its liquor law may get some "comfort" in reading this. Franklin Fisher of New York is the new editor of the Essex Junction newspaper syndicate and M. C. Reynolds the business manager; L. P.
Thayer, the owner, having leased the plant to them. A good business has been built up by the concern, which has a dozen newspapers all printed at the same place, which circulate mainly in the various towns in Chittenden county. The new management are well spoken of and the best wishes of the press of the state are extended to them. Mr. Thayer will devote his time to the Vergennes Vermonter and the Morrisville Messenger.
Jed P. Ladd of Burlington is suggested as a possible successor to State Auditor Graham. Now it is just possible that Auditor Graham will succeed himself, as the people of Vermont have concluded that it is best to "let well enough alone." But if Mr. Graham should decide not to seek a re-nomination, there is no one better fitted to be his successor than Dewey T. Hanley, the popular and efficient deputy auditor.
There is nobody better posted upon the duties and work of the Auditor's office than he, and it would be a good assurance of a continuance of the excellent methods now in vogue there. What is regarded as the largest insurance ever successfully sought by any one individual is that on the life of a wealthy cement manufacturer of Kansas City amounting to $1,500,000. Previous to this he had four $325,000 policies on his life, so that now the total insurance he carries come to nearly $3,000,000. He was examined by 25 doctors, the ordeal taking all day, and they all pronounced him to be in perfect health, so he is able to derive some comfort at the The insurance is distributed among sev. eral companies.
But how such a policy would tickle some of our Lamoille county agents! Compulsory insurance, which has been in operation throughout Germany for the last twenty-five years, will undeniably result in much benefit to wage earners therein, the opinion of Consul Norton of Chemnitz. He has reported to the department of Commerce and Labor that many workers in Germany, uncertain of finding steady employment in old age, are feeling the benefits of the compulsory law. In describing the plan, Consul Norton says that physicians are engaged by the officials of insurance companies on fixed contract terms at fees considerably lower than those usually paid for such services. The physicians. however, must exercise considerable ingenuity in ascertaining whether or not the patient is really ill and in need of attention.
The plan seems to be working well and many persons who were formerly the treated as charity patients are, under conditions, enrolled in the ranks of the iusured. An adv. in this paper is always sure to be read and if the reader is impressed results will naturally follow. Tuesday of last week was the Episcopal jubilee of His Holiness, Pope Pius event which is worthy of special mention since the present occupant of the chair St. Peter is such an unaffectedly good man who has the welfare of man--a whole Christian world so genuinely heart.
He is at the head of a great church organization, has under his absolute control millions of men and women, who recognize in him the visible vicar Christ upon earth. He is their supreme pontiff, their pope, their father--the head of their faith. They believe in him, trust in him and place their utmost confidence in him, in what he says and does; at same time subscribing most devotedly to his acts. He is a good man, a simple, unaffected man, a man of the people, calculated heart, impulse and act to draw people him. This he has done and will probably continue to do as long as he fills the position he does.
He is a lovable individuality, a man to whom state has brought austerity, to whom power has added nothing of outward or inward pomp. One of the chief drawbacks of his reign, however, is that he is no longer able go about and mingle with the people, whom he so much loves and whom he is much in sympathy with and from whom he sprung. We are sure the whole world will unite in congratulation upon jubilee, no matter whether Protestant Catholic, because, as the head of one the greatest of religions, he typifies much of that which wins one towards goodness, righteousness and the love one's neighbor as one's self. Thomas C. Dawson, United States Minister to Chile, has been recalled and it is probable that no successor will appointed to succeed him until the Chilean government makes some definite move toward settling a claim that has been pending for about twentyfive years.
With characteristic South American indifference the payment of this claim has been postponed and put off until it is now deemed advisable to have it paid. The South Americans love Uncle Samuel as shield and defense, but when it comes to dealing fairly and squarely with him in business way, it is quite another matterThey should be taught a thing or two in this direction. Following its usual custom the Vermont Marble company will give Thanksgiving dinners, including turkeys, cranberries, sweet potatoes, and all the other things that go a regulation feast of this kind, to all its employees at the various places where they have works. This is the eighth year since the company inaugurated the practice. The company's store teams will deliver the turkeys and other things at the homes of the employees on or before Thanksgiving day.
This makes it a rather expensive Thanksgiving for the company, but it be a good investment or the practice would discontinued. Besides. look at the free advertising it gets from every paper in the state and many Register. This is hardly fair for the Register thus to speak. The Vermont Marble Company always treats its employees well.
Besides paying good wages there are many things done for the army in its employ that are not "nominated in the bond." We have yet to hear of any unfair treatment or other than the best of feeling between the company and its men. Such an act of generosity ought to "be a good investment" and is worth all "the free advertising it gets." It shows to the world that the company is interested in its men and that is always a "good investment" for whatever concern that practices it. ELMORE The Pope's Jubilee E. W.

Prouty Tells Why We Should Be Thankful Governor Prouty has designated Thurs day, Nov. 25, as Thanksgiving and has issued the following proclamation: "To the Freeman of the State of Vermont, a proclamation by George Herbert Prouty, Governor. "Again the crowded storehouses of the husbandmen and the glory of the mountain sides remind us of the time-honored custom of our fathers of setting apart a day of solemn thanksgiving to the bountiful Benefactor of all men for his abun. dant blessings and His faithful care. The twelve-month past has seen an unparalprosperity, wide as the continent." Established enterprises are again flourishing and new industries are springing up.
The contest for equal laws is prosecuted with less bitterness and clamor, and men are looking less impractical panaceas and more to improve. ment in character and general intelligence as the ground of their hope for better days to be. Peace among the nations, and the conviction that the welfare of each is the welfare of all is rapidly approaching. Governor of the the state of Vermont, do "Therefore. George Herbert Prouty, set apart Thursday, the twenty-fifth day of November, current, as a day of public thanksgiving, and recommend that upon that day our people gather in their respective churches and assemble at their firesides to return thanks to Almighty God for the good land and the large bounty which He has given to our fathers; for the grandeur of the granite mountains, the strength of the forest-covered hills, and the peaceful-plenty of the fertile valleys; for the laughter of little children, the persistent hopefulness of manhood, and the quiet trustfulness of old age; for the opportunities of service with which life is filled and the sweetness of rest when toil has been faithful and hard; for the difficulties which try manhood's mettle and the obstacles which furnish the joy of overcoming; for the privilege of working for the common good, and for the hard tasks which the past has left unperformed; for the hope of a better world and a kingdom that is beyond.
"If in any community there are those that want, let the bounty of the more favored banish on that day the sting of poverty. Let every hearth spread wide welcome to the children who have removed to distant cities, and in every village and hamlet let returning sons and daughters bring good cheer and fond recital of old-time joys. Let our thoughts flow together on the noble record of our good state, honor in which she is held throughout the nation, and the substantial foundation that has been laid for future welfare. In the observance of the thanksgiving custom, let us renew the thankful spirit, and take courage from the blessing of the past for the work that is still before us. "Given under my hand and the seal of the state this tenth day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred nine, and of the independence of the United States, the one hundred and thirty-fourth.
GEORGE H. PROUTY. By the Governor: Aaron H. Grout, Secretary of Civil and Military Affairs." Another Suicide at Hardwick Using the same revolver with which J. Vernon Dutton, his employer, killed himself five weeks ago Monday, Charles H.
Stewart of Hardwick, aged 23 years, shot himself late Sunday night and died at four o'clock next morning. His friends are unable to account for his act. unless he had become suddenly deranged through brooding over Mr. Dutton's death and the receipt at the railroad station Saturday of a telegram from Lyndonville, announcing the suicide of Miss Rowena Clark, aged 13. The telegram was sent by the girl's parents to a relative at Hard wick.
Young Stewart went from the St. J. L. C. R.
R. office, where he has been emclerk, to his home at about 8:45 Sunday ployed for about two years as checking night and at once fired the fatal shot. The weapon, which five weeks has ended the lives of two Hardwick men, was the property of young Stewart and was kept at the station to be used in the transfer of money. The young man had placed the revolver at the right side of his head and pulled trigger, the bullet ploughing throw the head and coming out near the temple on the left side. Drs.
Darling and Ferris were summoned to care for the wounded man, but nothing could be done to save his life, although he lingered along for seven had apparentbeen in his usual health.

Her husband took the grounds that he was capable of taking care of her, providing her a proper place in which to live and sufficient treatment, and under such a claim the attorney general could offer no objections to her release from the institution, and she was taken by her husband to Lowell where she is now residing. It is said at Waterbury that until Mr.
Allen was asked to pay a portion of his wife's expenses in the institution, since he has some means and there is some property in her own name, the question her mental responsibility and liberty was not raised.
