One OF vermOnt's curious Laws.

Percival w. Clement OF Rutland is plan
ming upon an aggressive campaign for the
Republican nomination for the governor
ship of Vermont. He is probably doomed
to disappointment, as in the past. He
made surprising run once, but he had
then live issue. He has a right, how
ever TO aspire to the seat of the execu-
tive of the state. II his ambitions lead him
in that direction. and he is entitled to a
respectful hearing. AS a part OF his plan
TO obtain publicity his personal represen-
tative. Howard L. Hindley, erstwhile editor
of the Ludlow Tribune, and farther back
of the Vergennes Vermonter, is going
about the state buying space Of newspapers
which will not OF volition espouse Mr..
Clements cause. In the space which he
buys, in regular advertising columns, Mr.
Clement will state his opinions and boom
his own candidacy.
This is a straight business proposition
The newspaper has space to sell, in which
the customer may obtain publicity by
speaking TO the clientele of the newspaper
The publisher of the newspaper may not
probably does not-agree with the views
which will be presented in the ADVERTISE
ments. He does not, perhaps, agree with
the expressions in advertising OF patent
nostrums or Of bargain sales which appear
in his newspaper, but he gives them space
for a price as long as he considers the
proposed sales legitimate. With the news
paper space is commodity. 1t is some-
thing to be bought just as any commodity
is bought at a store. It is a part of
newspapers stock in trade All this re-
fers to the advertising columns. With
the editorial columns there is a difference.
There a newspapers opinions should be
unbribed by influence and unpurchased by
possibility of gain. In this connection 1t
may be well to state that Vermont has
strange law. The present collector OF
customs OF the Memphremagog district,
Curtis Emery Of Chelsea, is said to have
been responsible for 1t when he was a
member OF the legislature. It reads as
