(From the St. Albans Messenger, ) During the course of an editorial In which the number of commission1- lu er mont Is snld to be too great. The Hol land News makes the following sugges tion of the change of state government loi Vermont: "The News has argued long that the most effective municipal govern ment Is the government by a small com mibf Ion, each member of which shall have full responsibility of and authority over some particular .lepatlment of city work. It is entirely possible some ad vanced and progressive State may adapt this plan of government to the conduct of its public business. And why should not that state be Vermont, as likely as any other? Wo ventuie to say that seven men could manage all of the affairs of this, commonwealth comprised of 'JXb.iM) people as effectively as and much more economically than 7W. more or less." While not wishing to subscribe' to such an ud wanted theory' off-hand because It thinks that there would bo necessary suth fundamental changes that It would be almost impossible to hrlng them about, and which changes might not meet the approval and sanction of higher powers, Th" Messenger Is heartily in accord with its e-eintemporary In the beMef that there are' too many men mixed up in the run ning of the Slate government to-elay. V.-rtnont has about as much need for her big House of Representative as she is for a navy, a foreign consular ser vice, or anything else for which she has no need at nil. It is a telle of the days of diffen nt condition!.. Is this big House of Representative's. It Is a needles ex pense, both In the dollars and cents call tel for to pay the ,-nlarics and mileage of the large membership, but also In the way of legislation, which Is not of the high standard It would be. If the House had a smaller number of members. Tbi' pii'sent House anil Senate) aro nil out of propoitlon. and moreover, this Is directly opposed to the Ame'ricnn scheme of government The House is not popular body at all, representing rather certain divisions of land, while the Senate- Is the' m.ucst to a possible body of which the S'tnti Is able to boast. In an argument based i pop inc. pure sin n'l- of government It would not tako long to drive Vermont out ol court. But ot i oLrst1"' this Is not si'ch an argument, and piobahly never can become one, but the people must fare this truth. If Ver monters want to se-i an end to long sessions, If they are tired by the flood of laws that Is loosened every two years at Mortpeller. If they wih to have a ileinoeratk form of government- in tact as well as In name. If they wish to have on their statute books all of the best of advanced legislation. In other words, II tl i want to plvo Vermont the right op poituiilty to make the best of herself, th-n they nnist be willing to change the pnwent foii.i if government, i veil though it tin niitwt It will .ippe.it- that many localities .ire surrendering some i ci-t.uu pOWI-l lllllll h( y potest) III pi-envllt.

The fine materials, the beautiful designs, and fine work is especially noticeable. It is going to bo an "embroidery season." These embroid eries we show to-day are our regular import order. There are many especially pretty patterns and designs that are exclusive with us and which we cannot duplicate. It is these little novelty effects that early buyers have the choice of. Come to-day, look them over. It is well worth your time, and they are displayed on three counters for your inspection and admiration The New Dress Cottons Hake You Think Spring Is Here The displays are so attractively arranged that you seem to leave winter behind you the moment you enter our doors. Many realize the advantage of buying these fabrics early, of getting their spring sewing well underway.
