Hurry Does Not Exeu.e.

Even If the party platform were TO be
entirely written By one man, as is some
times said to have been done in national
campaigns. and as Is certainly the case
occasionally in Vermont, though usually
the writer Of platform consuIts with
others and tries to reflect the sentiment
OF his party, the fact that II Is adopted by
political party's chosen representatives
IN convention assembled and il used
through q campaign without protest gives
4 al the authority OF a party utterance so
Tar as the party is concerned. Hurry
during the closing moments OF conven-
ton does not absolve party from alt-re-
sponsibility for list Of policies on which
such party stands through q prolonged
eampaign.-BurIington Free Press.
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1908-12-24

If Roosevelt makes good his charge,
contained in his annual message, that
Congress took certain action toward the
Secret Service because II was afraid its
own members would be investigated. be
win stir up scandal Of pronounced pro-
portions. It was a serious allegation to
make by a president Of q coordinate
branch Of the government, and il looks a.
if Mr.. Roosevelt had this time tackled
more than he could handle. II he fails
to establish his claim, which Congress
has invited him to undertake. he will
have convicted himself of q wanton in
suit Of that body. II he does establish it.
. the majority Of both houses Of Congress
win stand condemned Of dishonor that
few have suspected. The public, after
hearing the case argued, will form its

The House Of Representatives acted in q
proper manner when 1t killed the bill
providing Tor the exchange of mileages
Tor newspaper advertising. The railroads
are undoubtedly abundantIy able to pay
ior their advertising and the newspapers
Tor the mileages which they require. A
measure which would be more to the
point Is one which would compel the rail-
roads TO advertise any change in their
timetables, for, as the matter now stands,
most OF the travellers find out that a
change has been made only when they ar

has departed. = Moninelier Arrna-

County option got good vote in the
House last week. There is quite move
ment in its favor in Vermont. especially
amcng the Observation-Disclosures who seek
every chance to curb the operation OF the
local option law. The way to settle the
question is to make it an issue before the
voters. Put it up TO the Republican
party in the next campaign, aud II the
party declares Tor it, after full and fair
discussion, let it be enacted. County op-
ton is quite different thing than local
option, and no legislature, in view Of the
referendum Of 1908, would be justified in
making so radical change from the sys-
tenn then established without some man
date from the people.
