politics that he is merely on proba-

least, that is the way the talk runs.
Do His "Durndest"
This being the case, it is presumed
that he will do his durndest' while
on that Southern trip to show the
Southern democrats that he is the
right kind. Without the vote of the
South Marshall could not be nominat-
ed for president Everybody knows
that. Without the vote of the South
no candidate could land the democratic
nomination for president. Therefore,
since Marshall is in that receptive
state where he would not run to or
from the nomination, he will natural
~ try to make as good an impression
as possible on the trip SO as not to
often danyone, even if he does not do
any good for himself
On the trip down the Mississippi
river President Taft and the party of
governors will stop at many places
where celebrations and receptions will
be held and speeches will be made.
And right here it may be said that
none of the other governors who will
be on that trip will have anything on
Tom Marshall when it comes to MAX
ing a speech. At that he is a master
of the art. He is finished speaker.
In this particular he will stand as
we'll or better than most of the other
members of the party, and he ought to
make hit with his oratory. And ora
tory goes long way in the South.
To Return Thursday.
Governor Marshall will be home
from Petoskey, Mich, on Thursday of
this week. He expected to be away
six weeks, but he will arrive home at
the end Of the fourth week. having cut
short his vacation. Just why he has
done this is not known. for far as
can be learned there is no pressing
business at his office that requires his
personal attention. In fact, the gov
ernor's office has gone along during
his absence just the same as though
the governor were there himself. Col.
Mark Thistlethwaite. his private sec
rotary, has been doing all of the work
and has been the acting governor. He
has kept things moving right along,
and when the governor reaches his Of
flee Thursday he will find everything
done and the work out of the way
right up to the minute. Col Thistle
thwaite even issued the Labor Day
proclamation while the governor was
at Petoskey, and the proclamation was
a gem of the finest sort. Governor
Marshall, of course, has some reason
for wishing to get back before his six
weeks are up. but no one seems to
know what it is. 1t may be that he is
going to do something about the new
pool. room that Ed Ballard, the noto-
rious French Lick gambler has recent
ly established in Dearborn county,
about 200 feet west Of the Ohio state
line. 1t is known that the people
down there are very much excited over
the fact that the pool room is there,
and that they have been asking the
governors office to do something
about it.

Let the Good Work Go On.

Speaking of the good work of the in
dustrial school at Vergennes. A gradu
ate of one of the Vermont colleges this
year was for two years an inmate of the
retormatory school, He has been pop
ular man in college, a hard working stu
dent with high standing in his classes
and no young man has better prospects
of success in the practical work of life.
His training in the industrial school I'M
doubtedly changed the whole course of
his life. An institution which does these
things is well worthy of the liberal sup
port of the state and the hearty cooper
alton of every true citizen Mortified
News.
And Caledonia County is splendidly
satisfied with the results attained by
placing minor criminals in the hands of
a probation officer in preference to SEN
fencing them to a reformatory institu-
ton. One of the probationers from this
county is now a successful veterinary
with large practice while. another has
just received his degree of doctor of med
icine from New England college. All of
which goes to show that Vermont is
striving to following the teachings of
Judge Ben B. Lindsey and to make good
citizens of her boys and girls.

Then see the changes that have come
about in the forms of government.
There was not free government in the
world 300 years ago. There was not

fact that have no more right to govern
you than you have to govern me; that
every one who is expected to obey the
law, has by that token, right to be
heard in. saying what the law shall be.
| There was not a single state that had
the sense or justice to admit that simple
truth, not even with respect to its men,
to say nothing of its women. Now
there are many governments that do
admit in theory or in fact that their just
powers are derived entirely from the
governed. What gain is that
One year before the date we are
observing, John Milton was born in
London, His life just about spans the
English revolution, the highest achieve
ment, the browning glory of the English
race. A century later came the French
revolution, which in spite of all its
lamentable causes, did throw off the
yoke of uncomfortable tyranny from
France. Yes, and all over Europe, and
is destined to open the door for every
people. Then followed our own brave
struggle for independence, and that at
bottom was not struggle between
Great Britain and the colonies; it was
struggle between whig and tory, a con-
hlct that was going on on both sides of
the Atlantic, and as everybody knows,
the French revolution was in large part
consequence OF our own.
Look about us now. See how the
friends of free government. encouraged
by their success upon this continent, are
shaking every throne upon the globe.
See Russia in the travail of revolution
toward the new birth of freedom; look
at Young Turk on the shores of the
Bosphorus, making good his claim to
constitutional government; see Persia
waking from her reverie, and old China
turning from the slumber of 1000 years.
And yet there is one respect in which we
must admit that we have outstripped
the past in art, letters and philosophy, |
the masterpieces of poetry, painting and
sculpture, the deepest broodings of the
human mind over human destiny, these
must still be looked for back of 1909, |

PRESS COMMENT.
President Buckham,s Work

Years roll on and classes come and go
with the regularity of the suns rising,
but President Buckham still stands at
the head of the University OF Vermont,
sturdy and resolute, watching over the
sons and daughters Of the institution
fondly. Two years more and he will
have rounded out full 40 years as
president of the university, we'll nigh.
record.
These SO years have seen a great
change in the university, although it is
rated as small college" yet. When
President Buckham assumed the duties
of his position after several years expert
ence in professors position, the univer-
sity had half dozen buildings on the
top of College Hill, none too we'll equip
ped; now there are some 25 struct-
ures connected with the institution, the
most of them erected since 1871 and
practically all credit to a modern uni
versitv. In 1871 there were less than
hundred students, while at the close of
the collegiate year this week there were
GA enrolled in the various departments
Indeed, there are about as many pro-
lessons and instructors now as there
were students 3S years ago. The total
property in the name of the university is
nearly two millions-$1, 1925, 900, to be
exact-with a constantly increasing en-
dowment fund. In the efforts to raise
the first half million dollars of the uti-
mate goal of one million, the sponsors of
the movement have during the past year
been promised $4,000 conditionally
All these material and numerical evil
dences of growth have been accompani-
ed by constant raise in the scholar
ship grade OF every department in the
university.
That all this should have been done
during the years of his presidency is
splendid testimony to the value of Presi-
dent Buckham's work. No doubt the
university would have attained a con-
siderable growth under another presi-
dent, although the particularly local
field has not developed in the same pro-
portion as most other collegiate fields in
the United States the very great gain in
students and equipment has been made
in state which is practically no more
populous than it was in 1871 and which
has not shown remarkable strides, ex.
cept in a few scattered cases, in manu-
featuring and other industrial life. But
even with this handicap, President Buck
hams charge has gained in stature Won
derfully. 1t is in great part due to
President Buckham's large mindedness,
we should say Barre Times.
