Short Sermons on Practical
Politics
Fought an Honest Ballot

In 1890 Gov. Carroll S. Page made the following
ommendation in his annual message to the General AS
semb1y of the State of Vermont.
''The privilege of every cast his ballot with
out fear and subject to improper influence espon
of the most sacred rights of American citizen
ship That the Australian protects this right of
the voter fully than any other yet suggested,
conceded. Wherever it has been tried it has become
popular The only important objection to its ADOPTION
that have heard expressed, that of expense.
Vermont cannot afford to be ardy in the adoption of
any system having for its end ballot and believ
ing that no better method has yet been devised to
plish this | earnestly urge it's adoption.
With what we have learned about the need and prac
teal benefit of this ballot would be apt to say that
no intelligent Vernoner in public life would have dared
to oppose such a recommendation.
Yet find that when this bill came up for final pas
sage Nov 25 1890, Fletcher D. Proctor of its
strenuous opponents and the practical leader of eighty
others who attempted to defeat it.
Thus early began the training in ring methods of
young at that time just entering public life.
Why did he oppose this bill? Did he and his friends
would loosen their hold the public mind? Was 1t be-
they foesaw that they could longer control the
political acts of the timid voter?
History does not relate. 1t does not why Mr. Proc
tor of Proctor fought the Australian election law 1t
not tell why he and his eighy-seven friends at
tempted to throttle decent legislation for honest bal
lot.
And yet know that the present machine candidate
for Governor has been steadily drilled in school whose
strength consists in clever and systematic Crcumver
tion of the public will.
He is now candidate for Governor. He asks the rank
and file of VermOnts voters give him their confidence
Are slavish1y attached to machine policies safe
recipients of the public trus Are they fit to be perpet
uated in public office? Do trust important
offices of reform, rerenchment and reorganization to
their tender mercieS?
Think it It's I'D to you.

cially welcome since their pres
ence betokens the early approach
of spring. Hunters say this is a
never failing sign and they also
say that skunk tracks have been
seen within a few DAYS. This
certainly has been remarkable
winter if spring is near at hand.
The ground hog and the skunk
are committed to widely opposed
courses, for on Candelmas day,
the ground hog said forty days of
winter, but the skunk has come
out and left his message in the
mud and that says spring comes
soon. We say "hurrah for the
mud, the ice man shouts for the
ground hog.
If the Senators forced the re-
porting of the Hepburn bill on
the shoulders of Tillman with a
view of putting the President in
to a hole they, should have re-
membered that the President has
a way of stepping one side and
letting those who are pushing
him drop into the hole digged for
himself. If they thought to make
a joke of the matter they will find
that Tillman, although a Demo-
crat and not in love with the bill,
will fight for 1t pitcfork and all.
He intends to do his full duty by
this child which was thrust upon
his care.
Where is it all going to end?
England has just launched the
Dreadnaught, the most powerful
battleship afloat. Japan is re-
ported to be planning to have two
battleships Of the same class
built. OF course Germany will
have to increase this number, and
France will have three, mean
while how much has the British
navy gained by this first great
battleship. She will have to build
something bigger, and the same
process will be gone all over
again. In this race for size.
which navy will hold its suprem-
acy.
Surprising Ex-Gov. Page should
decide to become a candidate for
the United States senate-a laud-
able ambition on his part-it
would then become the duty Of
every newspaper editor to treat
him squarely, even if by some he
should be opposed. While the
governor has not declared his in
tention to be a candidate, some
newspapers have this early made
known the editors reasons why
Gov. Page should remain out of
the contest. The principal rea-
son given is because of his age
and this has been stated to be
from IS to 70 years. We all OF
us grow old fast enough without
our ages being inflated and we
feel that great injustice has
been done the governor because
of these statements. As Il mat
ter of fact Gov. Page is just the
same age as Senator Dillingham;,
They were born the same year
1913. Senator Dillingham; is 63
years old, and Gov. Page is not
a bit older. So let us be fair to
the governor, especially regard
ing his age.-BUrlingtOm clipper.

1t is always interesting to Richmond
people to know how her enterprises are
regarded away from home. In recent
issue, the Western Trade Journal makes
a very complimentary reference to the
Ohio and Western Oil Corporation. of
this city. In writing of the new corpor,t-
tons in the Ohio field that paper SAYS:
This is Richmond enterprise, man
aged by some of the most successful,
thoughtful and progressive business men
of that city. The corporation controls
600 acres of choice oil properties III the
Great Lima District Ohio. This field
has been thoroughly tested and proved,
and is to-day producing hlgh-grade Hum
mating oil in vast quantities. 1t is sol
dom we have an opportunity to refer TO
an industrial enterprise of this kind whore

management in the hands of capable

many instances right before our eyes,

credit the thought that parents are SO
unmindful of the rights OF childhood as
to deprive their offspring of the oppor-

Aside from the sentiment Of elevation
