WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

Now the Vermont dentists, in conven-
ton assembled, ask for a legal exami-
nation of the teeth of school pupils,
similar to the eye and ear test. If the
Vermont chiropodists will next bring
about an inspection for corns and in
growing nails, and if the Vermont
manicurists will insist on rigid test
for warts and sUnburn, perhaps it will
be safe to send Willie and Susie to the
public school. -Randolph Herald and
News.
The Page boom" is a simple and
detached boom 1t is not only the
boom, but is the sawmaill, the nailIpond,
the stack of edgings, the hune and
the hired man with the cant-hook. 1t
is all Of these things, imperishable and
immutable. Don't watch it grow. 1t
has dun growed. It's voice has changed,
and it has whiskers. This may be
a mixed metaphor, but is solid, non
porous and opaque fact. -HardWick
Gazette.
The Gazette believes that a man may
be creditable citizen and worthy and
deserving public servant, and yet disa-
gree with some of the policies of Pres
ident Roosevelt. Good republicanism
does not necessarily carry with it blind
: adherence to every presidential pro-
nunciato nor the sinking of Individual
ity Of opinion in the waters of presi-
Dental dogma. There should be some
. other reason for opposition than this to
e carry conviction to thinking people.

- politically honest and just!
