Sir Hubert Won Herkomer. the cele-
brated English artist, recently de
scribed in an address his experience
in painting the portrait of Richard
Wagner without a sitting. Wagner in
1877 was introducing his music to
English audiences, and he permitted
the young artist to be with him at his
house, see him day by day. and watch
him. When Wagner was asked when
he intended to sit, he replied, HE
sees me all the time" That went on
for a month Then the artist started
one Friday on the portrait, worked at
1t all day at white heat, slept badly
all night, and worked again all day
Saturday. BY the evening 1t was fin
ished, and the next day he took the
portrait. glazed and framed. to Wag-
ner. Then came a change over the
great musician. He was delighted.

Political poInas.

They're doing considerable talking
about the next governorship up in Frank
lin and Lamoille counties. Each of these
counties, it seems, has two candidates in
the field, and the situation in each county
is peculiarly alike. In franklin county
are Olin Merrill of Enosburg and Charles
W. Gates OF Franklin. The former has
had his boom booming for some time and
has political workers in all parts Of the
state, but be is confronted with the an
noying likelihood OF not being able to
carry his own county. Mr.. Gates, on the
other hand, while not especially strong
throughout the state on account OF hav-
ing done no active work, could capture
his own county from the Knight of the
SPAWN Cure without half trying, it is
said. And the situation in Lamoille
county is like unto that in Franklin.
Thomas G. Cheney, speaker OF the last
House OF Representatives. and one of those
righteous mortals who spurned tainted
coin, has no small following throughout
the state, but Great Scott when it comes
to making of with Lamoille county itself
be wouldn't stand q ghost of a show with

are two interesting situations, which
mean that politics will be lively in
franklin and IRmoille henceforth.
We wouldn't be devoting 80 much
space to discussion of the future were it
net for the fact that emissaries OF the va
rious candidates for the governorship are
already looking over the situation in this
corner Of the state and setting stakes

Creating More Dayiieht.

How would you like to think you are
getting up at the good old hour OF six
O'Clock in the morning while in. reality
you have become an early riser and are
getting up at a. Il. The Daylight as
ISOLATION would have ms set the clocks
forward two hours beginning the first of
May and lasting till the first OF October.
Their idea is to begin the day two hours
earlier during the summer time to afford
longer hours for afternoon and evening
recreation. In other words you would
have Just as much time as you do now
only you would think you had more.
Man is a creature OF Imagination without
doubt, but he will hardly stand for this

Long ago the Scotch learned this,

The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent discovers" that
oatmeal is the best food in the world.
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Ameri-
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say: Look at our
nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on earth" Still we have one good point
to make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
it the leader Of all oatmeals to be had
anywhere. Quaker Oats is sold in fam
lily sire packages at 2sc or at 30c for
the package containing a piece of fine
china. The regular size package sells
at l0c. Follow the example of the
Scotch; eat a Quaker Oats breakfast
every day.
All gTocers sell Quaker Oats.

In another column today the Banner re-
prints Some rather curious comment from
the Randolph Herald and News on the
subject of taxation in which that paper
says that the Banner s'seems to assume
that the questions involved were settled
by the majority on a basis of personal
seliishness, suspiciousness, ignorance and
prejudice Win the Herald and News
please point out when and where the
Banner has said anything Of the kind?
We have no knowledge OF ever holding or
expressing any such theory ia regard to a
majority or any considerable minority.
In fact the whole argument OF the Herald
and News falls absolutely fiat in that it
sets up man OF straw and then proceeds
to tear him apart. The contemporary ap-
pears nervous in approaching this cues
ton OF taxation. What else can be the
reason for its charge, entirely without
foundation, that the Banner has accused
"siIent and iEconspicuous men of I'M
worthy motives On the other hand the
Banner has frequently upheld these ssh
lent and inconspicuous men" and been
rather savagelv criticised By this same
Herald and News for so doing. Was the
Herald and News right when it lamhast-
ed them SO severely few weeks back or
is i right now when il comes to their de-
fence2 We are willing to admit the lat
ter presumption and to welcome even this
late repentance on the part of the Ran
doiph contemporary. As to the tax ques-
ton itself we have the faith to believe
that the citizens OF Vermont are gradual
ly becoming educated on the subject and
will in time insist on certain changes
that will be OF benefit to the greater num-
Der OF the citizens OF Vermont and that
will aid in developing the natural re-
sources of the state.-Bsnnington Banner.

John A. Weeks of Middlebury.

Orion NJ. Barber OF Bennington.
1t should be noted that any public man
is as dsfencsless against the mentiouer"
as he is against the kodak fiend The
more or less active candidates Of this
bunch are Messrs. Merrill, Cheney,
Smith and Mead. They are looking over
the field, prospecting for support and try
ing to decide whether it is best for them
to enter the race or not.

The Montpelier Savings Bank and
Trust company is the FIRST banking insti-
tuition in the state to reduce its interest
rate to depositors from four per cent to
three and one-hslf per cent, to take effect
after July /. The banks in Vermont
have been at odds among themselves over
this matter. Some OF them are able to
pay four per cent; others are no: fairly
able to do so, but are compelled to by
their stronger competitors probably at
some risk to the integrity of the former
institutions. At the last legislative ses-
sion a movement gained Roadway to limit
the dividend rate to three and one-hali
per cent. hut after a powwow of bank
magnates it was announced that they had
agreed to voluntarily come down to that
level and compulsion was not applied.
Since then, until now, nothing has been
heard of the matter. The strong banks
are still paying four per cent and the
others straining to keep up. The Mont.
pelier bank, it appears, has broken the
ice, and others may follow its example.

To our esteemed friend OF the Benniug-

when and where it has said anything Of
the kind we alleged, respecting the con-
sideration given the tax measures by the
last legislature, we would recommend a
reading Of its own "Bill Barnum'' edito-
rial Of some two months since. Here is a
sample sentence from it:-
"Those who favor change because it
is right in the abstract find themselves
outvoted by those controlled by stupid,
ignorant obstinacy, petty avarice and per-
sonal selfish interest, combined with the
larger number misled By outside pressure
or rendered unreasoningly suspicious by
cunning sophistry."
And there is moro OF similar tenor.
This paper has criticised the late Iegisls.
