Scientific Vermonters.

The announcement that Lester u.
French of Brattleboro has been chosen
editor of The Engineering Journal, pub
lished by the American society OF me
chanical engineers in New York, recalls
that Vermonters are already quite promi-
nent in the conduct of engineering period
icals, notably on The Engineering News,
one of the standard journals Of the sort
and also published in New York city. The
managing editor of this latter periodical
is C. w. Baker and one of the associate
editors is NJ. n. Baker, both Vermonters
and both graduates of the University Of
Vermont. Another Vermonter who, if
we are correct, occupies responsible
place on a scientific magazine of like ma
ture in Chicago is, Merton G. Robbins,
also of Brattleboro, and, like the Bak-
ers, graduate of the engineering de-
partment of the state university.
That the new editor of The Engineer
ing journal goes into the work with a
natural aptitude is indicated by the fact
that he is the son of o. L. French, pub
Usher of the Brattleboro Phoenix, itself
of a high standard of excellence in its
kind of publication. Moreover, the
younger French is graduate of the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology and he
was for nine years prior to 1906 engaged
as editor of Machinery, published by the
Industrial Press of New York. Since
leaving that work he has been writing
scientific treatises and building up a bust
ness in publication of technical books in
Bratteboro. So he goes into the new
position at the head of The Engineering
Journal amply fortified by training and
experence.-Barre Times.

Nothing but Blum.

When a. good a man as Allen NJ. Fetch
or has 10 step aside for term or two,
the las, minute mentions OF new eahdl'
dates for governor seem idle, insinceis
and silly; likewise they are largely blum
on the part Of some of our good rcpabh'
ean friends. Windsor county isn't gong
10 nut forward another man for the Jon,
notwithstanding the echoed assertions
hat there j. nothing the matter with
ihe Hon. +. l.. Davis Of Pomfrct, and
that Gen. Hugh Henry Of Chester Is "all
right" Both are good men, Of course;
and receptive, but they and other ~ aud
irrcproachablc glad-handers OF Windsor
county stand about as much show LOT
serious consideration this year as wouid
a pung sleigh ON the grand circuit.
Ii looks as II Lieutenant Governor
Prouty had the nomination in his pocket,
and there Is suspicion that he has been beer
promoted for purpose that has, very lit'
lie 10 do with the everyday administra'
ton OF state affairs. The disinterested'
mess OF the Proctor family Is proyerbiai,
hut they have practical side which Is
sometimes in evidence.

Governor Hughes is an avowed. party
man. He believes that party organiza'
tions are essential to the success OF our
form of government. He has inde-
pendent views, however, as to what
parties should stand for and believes
thoroughly in the idea that cleanliness
in politics should begin at home. In
talk before the City club of New York
Tuesday evening he said among other
things:
~ am a party man and / am a party
governor and / have no sympathy with
the idea that parties depend for their
success upon the blind following OIL any
leadership. l believe in party organ
ization, because it is an effective means
of standing for certain commonly ac-
cepted principles. / believe in party
machinery, because it is the only means
through which an organization can ex'
press itself effectively, but l believe IN
making the party appeal to the people
upon the basis of principles ana IN put
ting up candidates who will stand the
test of the closest scrutiny and l be-
lieye it to be best for the people II ev-
cry elector is required to give the con-
sideration that is necessary to express
his individual choice with regard to
every candidate for Office, and also
believe, within the party, in the ut
most freedom. Nothing can be more
mistaken than to try to protect party
against itself. That is the mistake IN
irving to protect the people against
themselves. That results Logically IN
despotism somewhere and we might
lust as well give up our forms OF gov
eminent. ~, ).
"Now I believe most thoroughly IN
this: That in country like ours, where
everything depends upon the wisdom,
the discrimination, the honesty OF the
electorate. you cannot have good gov
eminent at the top unless generally you
have good government at the bottom
You cannot expect by some means you
will have superiority in the govern
ment that is remote, while in the gov
eminent that is close to your own
home your interests are neglected; and
the first consideration Of every Amerl-
can citizen should be to see that the
government in his own district is right;
the government in his own city IS
right; the government in his own state
is right; not neglecting that the gov
eminent of his nation should be what
he and his fellow-citizens are entitled
TO have it. -
