CHOOSE GOOD REPREsENTATIv

While many of the county conventions
have nominated candidates for the State
Senate. whose nomination is equivalent
TO an election, and many OF whom are
excellent men, the nominees of the re-
publicans for the House OF Representa-
tives remain to be selected. The House Is
the popular branch OF the Legislature and
to great degree the legislation to be
enacted the coming autumn will depend
upon the ability and character and energy
and patriotism OF the direct representa-
tives Of the different cities and towns.
This being the situation, 1t is timely
to emphasize the Injunction OF the re-
publican candidate for the governorship
that the people exercise care and at
tention in the matter of selecting efficient
and faithful representatives. In accept
ing the republican nomination the Hon.
Charles j. Bell very properly gave en-
phasis to the idea that while the con-
vention had declared in favor OF various
principles and he would seek to carry
out the wishes of his constituents, the
power vested in the Legislature to pass
any measure over the governors veto by
single vote, had served TO neutralize
the influence OF the executive in matters
OF legislation TO a marked degree, and
in order to have good legislation the
people must take thought of the Legisla-
ture.
The people Of Vermont will do well, If
they give heed to this excellent counsel

Mr.. Bell is known to have very de-
finite IDEAS in relation TO the matters of

How to Save Time and Annoyance
When Using the Phone.
To be a good telephone talker is some
thing of an art. but in. these days it
should by all means be cultivated as
much as any of the methods of polite
conversation. says the American Tele-
phone Journal, The first requisite is
the proper pose.
In all cases the transmftter should be
as nearly vertical as possible, with the
voice funnel so adjusted that it is on a
level with the lips when the head is in
the ordinary arched position Of CONVEX
sation. Then the lips should be held
about an inch away from the funnel
and directly opposite its center. The
speaker should talk in tone slightly
above the ordinary conversational pitch
about in the same way as if be were
speaking TO a person across the room.
But. more than all. care should be
taken to talk slowly and to articulate
with the greatest distinctness, to be de

ample pause at the end of each sen

be unduly worried in being In too mucf
Of hurry to finish. On the contrary
time and annoyance for oneself and
ones correspondent will be saved b.
talking slowly and allowing little
time for the mental reception of the
