AN INTERESTING COMPARISON.

Many Vermont newspaper men at
tended the annual meeting of the state
fish and game league at Bluff Point,
and the impressions which Governor
Hughes and Speaker Cannon made
there have been the subject of many
editorials. One of the most interest
ing of these is the following COMPARE
son between Hughes and Cannon made
by the Randolph Herald:
Cannon is complacent. He glories
in the greatness, the grandeur and the
prosperity of our country; believes it
will continue in it's rosy path; ridi-
cules prophecies of coming disaster,
and argues that it will be easy to
handle abuses that arise without en-
dangering the happy conditions that
exist. One gathered the impression
that Cannon was almost an apologist
for such ills as crop out, or at least
that they did not worry him a bit in
the face of the general era of good
things. We always have a certain
amount of wrong doing, he says, but
we can take care of it all right-and
Just see how big and great and grand
we are!
On the other hand, Hughes took up
some of the serious matters that con-
front the government, federal and
state. He built an ideal of statecraft,
in some respects new, and so clear and
pure as to bring almost a new gospel
of civic righteousness to his hearers.
He dwelt on the i'll effects of legisla-
ton in behalf of special interests,
contrary to the interests of the whole
people. His condemnation of the pros
titution Of official duty and honor at
the behest of alleged personal friend
ship dealt energetically with a real
evil known to exist, but seldom dwelt
on in public. The whole tenor of
Hughes's talk was that it behooves
every loyal citizen and official to
watch constantly lest by some swerv-
ing from the path of duty there shall
follow a train of evil consequences.
There was no sign of complacence in
Hughes. He is evidently impressed
with the seriousness of high official
station and cognizant of the tempta'
tions that beset the way of him who
would deal out justice to all, rich or
poor.
Somehow, comparing the two, it
seemed as if Hughes would not hest
tate to do battle in the breakers, if
necessary, while Cannon would choose
drifting with the current. True, the
two speeches did not deal with the
same subject, but they discovered the
mental state Of each man, neverthe-
less.

pupils. With view to making the
relations of teachers and parents clos
or the Mt. Vernon (nd.) school board
has offered the following suggestions
which are as applicable anywhere
else;
l-Get acquainted with the teacher
of your child.
2-Be free to talk with the teacher
about the traits, characteristics, etc,
of your child. The better the teacher
understands your child the better she
will be able to teach him.
3-Visit the schoolroom in which
your child is at work just as often as
you conveniently can.
do not berate the teacher and
say all manner of things about her II
she ccrrects your child at school. Re
member there is also the teacher s side
of the ease, which your child may not
understand.
5-Never say anything unkind about
the teacher in the presence of your
child. Every time you do so You harm
your child more than the teacher.
6-0bserve good training and disei'
pline in your own home. A child that
is well disciplined and well trained
at home rarely needs correction at
school. II is too often the case that
the schools have to do the things
which should have been done at home
Our schools are not reformatories.
They have to do with the formation OF
the pupil, not with his reformation.
DO not think that your author
ity and responsibility ceases when the
children are sent TO school. "The con-
fesson of many parents who bring
their children TO our schools and ask
the teachers to take charge of them,
because they themselves can do moth
ing with them, is a sad comment on
the parental authority in those homes
from which the children come. If
children are beyond the control of pa
rents, what may be expected from the
teachers, whose authority over the
children is certainly less than that of
the parentsi"
S-Be sure that your child always
gets to school on time. There is no
better lesson the schoolchild can learn
than the lesson of punctuality.
9-See to it that your child is regu'
lar in attendance Irregularity in at.
tendance, or absence for frivolous rea'
sons, interferes most seriously with the
advancement of the pupil.
10-Require your child to do salts
factory work and to make good prog
ress. (This does not mean that he is
to be advanced too rapidly.) Encour.
age him to take an interest in his
work.

A restroom for the convenience Of
women shoppers from the suburban
districts and the benefit Of local mer-

about a radical Improvement in the
condition of the streets about town
and more careful supervision OF them

A deeper sense of civic pride in the
appearance of various portions Of the
town and consequent elimination OF
all eye-sores to the community.
Better train service especially an

More tenements to accommodate the
steady increase in the towns popula-

further growth that is bound to come;
Wider publicity for the exceptional
advantages which will soon be avail
able to all industries locating in this
section, and greater exploitation OF
the inducements which the town Is
prepared to offer substantial and self
sustaining concerns;
More cooperation in booming the

idea; less strife over petty affairs
whose relation to the general welfare
Of the community is comparatively
mall; more disinterested endeavor to
improve conditions wherever they
can be improved; less selfshness, a lit
tie more tolerance of the shortcom-
ings in our neighbors, and a stronge'
determination to make this mode

From this distance it looks as
though the east side republicans may
have more trouble choosing their can

Congressman Foster can have a renom-
nation without lifting his finger
Bennington Banner.
If congressman s tenure of office
depended solely on ability and ser
vice there would be no talk of con-
test in the second district next year.
Because Col. Haskins does not "resort
to press-agent methods +" few people
realize the excellent work that he has
done in Washington during his term
of office, nor do they stop to think
that the experience he has gained will
make his future service all the more
valuable. The reliance that Uncle Joe
Cannon and other prominent states
men place on the gentleman from
Vermont - is strong proof that his
constituents are being ably represent

FAIR EXCHANGE.
A New Back for an Old One-How It

The backaches at times with dull,
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kidneys,
and again the loins are so lame to
stoop is agony. No use to rub or ap-
ply plaster to the back in this con
dition. You cannot reach the cause
Exchange the bad back for new and
stronger one. Follow the example of
this Brattleboro citizen.
Mrs. A. w. Larson of Chestnut
street, Brattleboro, VT, says: "For a
year or more. l was subject to pains
in my back which were always worse
at night. AS a consequence l arose in
the morning feeling lame and sore and
tired out generally on account of be-
ing deprived of my rest and sleep.
Lifting, STOPPING or any extra strain
ON the muscles of the back were sure
to bring twinges of pain. / tried many
remedies but met with indifferent sue
cess until / went to T. ii. Holden 8
drug store and got box of Doan s
Kidney Pills. [ soon found they were
helping me, and after using two boxes
the pain entirely disappeared and my
back was stronger. / could enjoy my
nights sleep and arise in the morn
ing feeling refreshed while my general
health was better than it had been

SUGGESTIONS TO PARENTS.

Nothing is of greater assistance to
teachers in getting the best work out
of their various pupils than acquaint-
ance with the parents. If teachers
were better acquainted with parents
they would know more of the pecu-
liarities of the children and be bet
ter able to deal with them. If pa
rents would visit the schools oftener
the inspiration of their presence would
help and encourage both teacher and

No matter what arguments may be
brought to bear in favor of the par
cells post, none of them will hold wa
ter for a minute after contact with
the argument against it that will be
advanced by every small merchant
and manufacturer in the country.
These small dealers, to the number of
100000 will point out to congress that
a parcels post will ruin them, drive
them out of business, make them de-
pendents instead of Independent indi-
viduals-Rutland News.
The fact that thousands of small
dealers throughout the country would
be more than ever at the mercy of
the big mail-order houses were the
parcels post system adopted is regret

argument against the worth of such a
system. Matters of this kind can only
be settled ON the plan Of the great

there is no question that parcels post

the whole distance in about an hour

$3.50 zach way Is well worth the price

freight, baggage and express but its
day of passenger carrying IS over and
gone. When it is remembered that
there are about the camps visited by
this automobile, some 1900 miners,

there must be for transportation.
