We are proud to think that Brat
tleboro man will be one of Yermont's
representatives in the national con-
venton at Chicago. Mr.. Hooker's
unanimous election as delegate from
the second congressional district is a
high honor for so young man and
shows that people believe in him as
a son of his father

Trouble with last years st. Adams
team was too much society. That's
right. Easter Lilley and Dud Drake
and Bobby Dresser, all nifty lads that
shaped up well in evening clothes,
used to pervade society tin two or
three a, m. and then wonder why
they Mated to get out to morning
practice Fact. Society's all right
baseballs all right but the two won't
minGle worth cent And st Adams
probably won't hire any more players
on their shapes,

Several complaints have been made
to the village authorities within the
past few days on account of the
"scorching" which IS being done by
the youthful owners of automobile
coasters. The Meddier is afraid they
have been exceeding the speed limit
which for such vehicles is. he be-
lieves, three miles an hour, Nobody
wishes to deprive the boys of the
pleasure which they get from imagin-
ing that they are driving a touring
car, but they should remember that
pedestrians have the first right TO the
sidewalk.

An article which does not appear
in the warrants posted about town is
in the call for the village meeting,
published in this issue of this paper;
and 1t is an article which is well
worthy of consideration relating as
ii does to the question of whether the
town will vote to pay the bailiffs
something in return for the work they
do. Brattleboro is lucky in having
board of bailiffs under whose adj
ministration village affairs have PROS
pered to such an extent as is the case
during the past two years. Under
their supervision all the departments
have been conducted in a business
like manner and the result is shown
in the satisfactory report which has
Just been issued. Bailiffs such as we
have are certainly worth something
to n village and they should receive
for the public service.

Fitz was copying press for an after

Boston and said Ed. wants TO know

OF course it's ancient history and of
course 1t isn't news. but the reminis-
cences of bygone campaigns printed
by the st. Adams Messenger contain
some mighty interesting stuff.
When medical societies settle on
when a proprietary remedy becomes
a patent medicine, then Hildreth of
the Newport Express and Standard,
ex-pharmacist, will be able to dis
tinguish between a Bloodwine electro
and Duffy's Puremalt whiskey ad.
