WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

WHAT The PAPERS SAY.
The St. Johnsbury Republican says
that when the New Workers recover
from the excitement of their Hudson
Fulton celebration, why not come over
to Lake Morey and celebrate the real
thing in this pioneer business in
steamboat construction? 1t is good
sugges tion, but why ask the New
Workers to come to Vermont to cele-
brate Vermont affair? 1t is prob
able that Capt. Morey invented and
operated the first steam propelled
craft, but he gets no credit outside of
Vermont and very little in the state
and probably never will more's
the pity-Mlddlebury Register.
Is man 70 years of age too old to
be governor of Vermont? This ques-
tion has been raised and decided in
the affirmative by the St. Johnsbury
CALIFORNIAN. That paper would make
no distinction. Seventy is the dead
line. The man who puts foot thereon
should be politically shot, no matter
what his record in the public service.
He may be in the full possession of
mental faculties and physically as Wig
orous as many men at 60. Not an ex-
ception should be made. We cannot
agree with drastic political oslerizing.
Many man at 70 would make bet
ter governor than at any other time II
his own career, and better than the
great majority of men at any age of
their career. 1t depends on the man.
Doctors tell us that man is as old
as his arteries. The man himself will
say that he is as old as he feels, which
is layman's way of expressing the
same thing. Nay, gentle cOntempOra
ry, don't consign to the political junk
heap all our fellow citizens who have
reached the three score and ten mark
simply because scripture raises
doubt as to that mans efficiency.
Trot out the man and let us have a
physical examination. Prehaps he is
good for a couple of decades more.
Again we say it depends on the man.
