Not Worrying.

Our good friends Of the Mortified News
and the Brattleboro Phoenix are worried
for fear that Mr.. Stafford of St. Johnsbury
is not good enough Republican to elect TO
Congress from the second district. q
Their claim would be entitled to more re-
spect if they showed that Mr. Stafford ever
arrayed himself against any principle for
which the Republican party is now strug
Cling Barre Times.
Bosh, neighbor! Nobody outside Of the
Barre Times editorial room and Mr.. Stat
fords law Office in st. Johnsbury are
worrying about his candidacy. The only
political office of any consequence ever held
by Mr.. Stafford was one term in the lower
house of the state legislature and he was
not sent there by Republican majority or
reckoned as a Republican while serving
there. With this political record it is hard
ly of interest to enquire about Mr.. Stat
ford's present position now that he is seek
ing favor with the party which will nomi-
nate and elect a congressman in his dis
trict. Nj. Stafford evidently recognized
this fact when he solicited an opportunity
to give an address under the auspices of a
social club at Bellows Falls and paid for
the use of the opera house in which he de-
livered his lecture and declared himself a
republican, Mortified News.

A vermont Home Reunion In 1900.


proposition for a reunion in 1900 of
the sons and daughters of Vermont resid-
ing abroad meets the hearty approval OF
The people of the Green Mountain state.
The Homecoming of those to the manner
born promises to be the most notable event
of the closing year of the 10Th century in
this state.
The number of native Vermonters liv-
ing in other states is nearly as large as the
present population of the state. The sons
and daughters of Vermont are scattered
throughout the length aud breadth of the
United States. They represent the domi-
nant element and influence In social, bust
ness and political circles in many commun-
tiles. They are distinguished in public
life in state and nation. In the army and
navy they have won fame by their valOr and
heroism. Many of these Vermonters have
not revisited the home of their childhood
days for many years. The Vermont which
their memory recalls has been somewhat
changed i'm the flight of time and by the
spirit of enterprise and progress which
dominates the people. improvement in
the varied conditions of life, in town and
country, has been effected, and modern
methods and advantages have supplanted
old time systems and facilities in CONNER
Girl educational and business circles.
But the Vermont familiar to the boys
and girls of a generation or more ago will
be easily recognized. Everyone will APP
preciate the beautiful sentiment of state
loyalty expressed by Vermonts gifted
poetess, Julia G. K. DOrr, in her poem
"Vermont:"
But what to us are Centuries dead,
And rolling years forever fled,
Compared with thee, O grand and fair Vermont
Our Goddess Mothery
Strong with the strength Of thy verdant hills
Fresh with the freshness OF mountain ms,
Pure as the breath OF thy fragrant pine,
Glad with the gladness Of youth divine
The grandeur of old Mansfield, Cancels
Hump, Jay Peak and Kilington still in
spires the soul of all who gaze upon them.
The verdant valleys, the wooded uplands
and the crystal lakes are as beautiful as
ever. The drives continue as pleasant,
and the evergreen groves have not lost
their charm. TO all of these old and new
attractions of the Green Mountain state,
and also to our homes and firesdes, the
nonresident native sons and daughters of
Vermont will have genuine and hearty
welcome.
The particular time for this Green
Mountain state reunion will be fixed later
on. 1t is proposed, however, TO make 1t
the occasion for unwilling the statue of
Admiral Dewey to be placed in the portico
of the state house, in Montpelier. This
memorial TO Admiral Dewey is to be
erected entirely by Vermonters living in
other states The committee in charge Of
the matter consists of well known citizens
of other states, of which Hon. Everett c..
Benton, of Waverley, Mass, is chairman.
The other members are Wallace f. Robin
son and James T. Phelps of Boston, Hon.
Levi p. Morton of New York, Senator
John NJ. Thurston of Nebraska and Con-
gresham Joseph W. Babcock of Wscon-
sin. The project is well advanced, and
the dedication of the statue promises to be
a great occasion.

The Y. NJ. c. A. star Course.

The lecture by Rev. Thomas Dixon, last
Friday evening, the closing number in the
Young Mems Christian association course,
was attended by good sized audience. 1t
furnished an hour of entertainment and
relaxation and the speaker enforced here
and there, effectively, some homely truths
which elected deserved applause, but as a
whole the lecture lacked the substance of
thought and dignity of treatment which
the occasion invited. Perhaps it is only
just to the speaker to say that this was
probably more noticeable and disappoint-
ing following, as this lecture did, immedi-
ately after the strong and masterful effort
of Booker Washington.
1t is a welcome fact that this course of
entertainments has been a success. The
several numbers have been well attended,
a growing interest has been shown, and
financially, a balance of 500 or more is
shown on the right side of the account.
The committee in charge have a right to
feel gratifed at the result of their work.
which proves that there is support in the
Brattleboro community for the best that
can be offered in the way of lyceum enter.

certainly be justified in placing the stand
ard still higher another season.

VICTORY AND DEFEAT.

Brnttleboro Was at Disadvantage In

DOwned Cushing Academy.
The Y. NJ. c. A. basket ball team went
titchburg, Mass, Monday and played
game with the association team of that
city, being defeated 1910. The contest
took place in a small gymnasium every
nook and Granny of which was familiar
to the home team, and in consequence the
Brattleboro boys worked under no little
disadvantage. The floor was too small for
them to make use of the team work which
figures so prominently in their games at
home and on other large floors, and their
weakness in making baskets showed up
glaringly. Fitchburg's strength lay in her
ability to make baskets from any part of
the gymnasium, and the carom shots made
with aid of the walls as cushions were a
revelation in the art of goal throwing.
Brattleboro had Munroe in centre instead
of Howe, the latter being unable to accom-
pany the team, and Frank Allen relieved
Plimpton in the latter part of the second
half. Fitchburg never has been beaten at
home, and boasts that she can win from
any team in the United States on her own
floor.
On Tuesday evening the team played
Gushing Academy at Ashburnham, Mass,
and won in a holly contested game by a
score of 6-5. Gushing plays on a floor
nearly as large as the armory, and the
score would seem to show the Bratteboro
players felt at least partially at home.
The Brattleboro team plays at Hoosick
Falls, N. Y, next Friday evening, and on
the following night it will play a return
game with Drury Academy at North
Adams, Mass.

Action on Inter-oceanic Canals.


The action of both the House and Sem
ate committees on inter-oceanic canals in
reporting favorably at this time bills for
the construction of waterway through
Nicaragua is an odd proceeding. The two
houses at the last session provided for
another investigation of all the possible
canal routes by a special commission and
appropriated $1,000, 900 to pay the com
missions expenses. That commission.
whose chairman is Admiral Walker, has
only recently started for Panama to inspect
a canal that is already half dug. How can
any legislation properly be enacted on the
canal question until theWalker commission
shall have reported? Yet the Nicaraguan
partisans, who control the House and SEN
ate committees, propose, evidently, Just
such procedure. There is practically no
opposition in the United States to canal.
The only questions remaining are the
where, the how and the how much. But
they are exceedingly important in view of
the enormous expenditure involved.

TEAM WORK THE FACTOR.

BrattlebOrO v. VI. c. A. Won from Ver-
mont Academy 1910, Although thc
visitors Were Superior In shooting for
Baskets.
The Brattleboro Y. NJ. C. A. basket ball
team "evened up things" with Vermont
Academy at the armory last Saturday even
ing, winning 1919 1t was the same old
story of Brattleboro's superior team work
outbalancing her opponents superior abil-
ity in throwing baskets. The Vermont
Academy boys were away ahead of the
home team in caging the ball, but they
were not given chances enough to display
their powers to the extent of winning,
During most of the game the play was
near Vermont Academy's goal, and with
out exaggerating the home team probably
had four times as many shots at the basket
as the opponent. Whenever the ball went
into Bratteboro's territory something was
likely to happen and it was generally
basket by one of the Vermont Academy
forwards. Notwithstanding Brattleboro's
failure to make the most of her opportun-
tiles her playing on the whole was very
satisfactory.
Pimpton without doubt put up the
prettiest game for the home team. His
offensive play was especially noticeable,
and one of his baskets thrown from nearly
the centre of the hall, won him generous
round of applause. Nay and Moore ex-
celed for Vermont Academy, the latter be.
ing particularly accurate in caging the ball
on free throws.

Extending the Merchant Marine.

The Marine society of New York, at its
190th annual meeting, adopted resolutions
in support of the shipping bill now before
Congress. The reasons given are that
American vessels in the foreign carry
ing trade carry but Q per cent of the ex-
ports and imports of this country against
former percentage of 50 per cent; that
$200,000,000 are annually paid by Ameri-
can citizens to foreign ship owners as
freight and passenger money and that the
bill is best calculated to promote the de-
velopment and distribution of the products
of American labor by the extension of the
merchant marine of the United States and
to establish thereby more intimate COM
mercial intercourse with other countries.
Still another and convincing reason given
is that merchant marine is naval re-
