is one that will appeal to thoughtful,
earnest Vermonters who place the

Charles d. Watson, who was nomiD-

was one of the leaders in the last
Legislature and was we'll liked by all

guising the fact that he will cut down
the Republican majority this fall if
the Republicans do not get together

to win. There is much grumbling

good character They would no doubt
serve the State well in case of their
elections but that is hardly wf'rin
the possibilities. At this critical time
in the n1tion's history the Republi-

time before casting their Votes for
others than their party's standard
bearers.
They would have to be sbowl pref

something radical to remedy the evils
which exist and which always will

THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

The current issue of the Outlook con-
tains an exceedingly interesting ac-
cunt of the Boy Scout movement, writ
ten by Ralph D. Blumenfield, editor
of the London Daily Express. Accord
ing to the writer of the article the
inception of he movement was at the
siege of Mafeking, during the Boer
War, in 1S99-19OO. The advance lines
were five miles in circumference and
the garrison was hardly sufficient to
man the works. In this extremity the
boys of Mafeking were drilled, uni
formed and acted as messengers and
orderlies bravely and most efficient
ly.
General Baden-Powell, popularity
known as B. p, was in command at
Mafeking He was so we'll pleased
with the work of the boys that about
two and half years ago he collected
some English lads at Surrey, talked
to them, showed them how to play In
them woodcraft, how to know the
birds, and to love Nature. His inter
est was such that he wrote book on
Scouting for Boys"
Tae idea became immensely popular
and spread like wildfire. The story
is best told by the authors own words.
He says:
"rrhe idea was to lead boys, by the
attractive practice called scouting, to
teach themselves character The boys
of England caught the idea in mo-
ment. Every boy of mettle grew wild
to become a Scout. All over the coun-
try they began to form themselves in
to patrols and troops of Scouts. They
began to teach themselves character
before a year was out hundred thou
sand boys had ceased to be boys ana
had become Boy Scouts. In another
wear there were more than two hun
dred thousand Boy Scouts In Britain
Now there are-nobody knows how
many. But the Scouts are seen eV-

TOWN ADVERTISING.
The Rutland News says:

The Rutland News says:
Barre granite manufacturers have
started movement to advertise
more widely their products. This
is commendable as we'll as enter
prising. There is not a town in YER
mont which has made full use of its
occurring constantly throughout the
and to advertise its resources. There
are national conventions of all kinds
occurring constantly throughout the
country, before which it would be of
direct material advantage to forcibiy
present the claims of the resources
and products of this State, by an en-
ergetic representative or an attrac-
tive exhibit. The expense of such pub
licity is always small in comparison
with the accruing advantages. Let us
all do more of this kind of advertis
ing.
This is good doctrine to preach in
Vermont, where it has been practced
very little. In other sections of the
country the value of municipal and
State publicity has been recognized
as the Journal has pointed out from
time to time. This publicity is obtain
ed in many different ways. For ex~
ample, Dayton, Ohio, which adver-
tises itself as the City of a Thous-

Wright aeroplane works, will hold an
industrial exposition Sept. 1924, A

THE POSTAL SAVINGS SYSTEM.

The address delivered Wednesday
evening before the Vermont State
League of the National League of Post
masters by Congressman Frank
Plumley, in this city, on Postal Saw
ings Banks was the clearest and
ablest presentation of this subject yet
made to Vermonters, and probably
one of the best given anywhere. The
history of the movement, the need of
such legislation, the provisions of the
bill and what the law is expected to
accomplish were set forth. The peo-
pie OF this State have had rather a
vague idea of the nature of this bill
which President Taft was so anxious
to have passed by Congress and
it should be read carefully by every
person who desires to be informed
regarding a new governmental policy.
The bill aroused little enthusiasm
when it was first presented in Con-
gress and that body took up the bill
apparently with considerable reluc-
lance, because the President desired
its passage, and the Republican plat
form favored it, rather than on ac-
count of any strong conviction that
the measure was needed. AS the bill
was discussed and perfected near the
close of the session greater interest
was aroused, and it was seen that
great possibilities lay in the estab-
lishment of system OF postal saw
jngs.
Probably it is more difficult to I'M
derstand the need of such a system
here in New England, where the saw
ings bank is almost as firmly estab
lished as the church, the school and
the town meeting, than in almost any
other section of country. When it is
understood however, that the vast sum
of $1,500,000,000 is in hiding, or with
drawn from circulation, that for every
dollar in actual circulation four dol
lars of credit are secured, and the
danger arising from the frequent per-
aOuS Vi IDOuey StiiuSchSy tHdt al ioO,
the need of some method of bringing
out this hidden treasure is seen. Prob
ably the greater part of this boarded
money is held outside of New Eng
land, although some of it may be held
by the foreign born population here.
1t is hardly necessary to argue that
If only portion of this missing
money is drawn into circulation
through the operation of the new pos
tai savings system great impetus
will be given to the business of the
country On the whole our banking
system is sound and reliable. Never
theless there are, in the aggregate,
many who distrust it, of whom for
eigners form a considerable part. The
majority of these persons have con-
fidence in the Government and will
not be likely to hesitate to entrust to
1t their savings.
The experiment will be watched
with much interest, particularly by
1nanciers, and the prediction of Com
gresham Plumley that the postal
savings bank bill will be the most
beneficial of all the acts of session
of Congress noted for it's achieve
ments, does not seem unreasonable.

adays as against even few years ago

adays as against even few years ago
is surprising.
To-day the live town development
organization has its paid secretary,
who devotes all of his time to the
work of advancing the Industrial,
civic and esthetic interests of the
community. The secretary is the
local manager of development effort.
Town development effort lately is
taking on more progressive methods
of advancing the interests of the
community.
Not many years ago a town de-
velopment organization meant an or
ganization kept up to meet an emer-
gency which might happen to arise
or any opportunity which unexpect-
edly turned up.
Nowadays the development organ
ization is expected to turn up oppor-
tunities.
These organizations are doing
creative work.
In this direction no avenue Of
effort is more interesting than the
marked inclination of towns, cities,
and communities, through their de-
velopment organizations, to advertise
the advantages of the community, the
opportunities to be found there and
the general attractions of the place.
Town development advertising may
be said to be twentieth century
step in the direction of creative effort
at community advancement.
Progressive towns no longer wait
for opportunities to turn up.
"They advertise for what they
want"
Switzerland advertises and gets a
vast number of tourists, Canada ad-
vertises and obtains settlers by the
hundred thousand for its agricultur-
al provinces of the Northwest. Cali
fornia is adding to its population and
resources rapidly by advertising. A
principle that is good for other
States is good for Vermont A prin-
ciple that is good for other cities
would be good for Montpelier.

That they should seek to amend it

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
lRpnninptop Ponnar

The Vermont Democrats are in
that happy position which permits
them to offer anything in heaven
above, or the earth beneath, or the
waters under the earth, provided they
get into power, knowing they will
never be called on to carry out their
promises. Consequently the Demo-
cratic platform is open to the same
suspicion as would be promise from
John Rockefeller to buy every angel
a third wing if permitted to go to
heaven.
Naturally they have offered some
things apparently mostly as matter of
policy, but really the wonder is that
with the opportunity they had they
didn't promise more. On the whole
their platform is decidedly conserva-
tive-more so than that of the Repub-
licans, and much more conservative
than the national platform of the
peal to voters it is calculated to in
terest the man who likes to keep
things about as they are rather than
the radical who hopes by upsetting a
settled order to develop something
better.
The best features of the platform
are the stand it takes in favor of
manual training schools; in support
of the income tax amendment; favor
ing the election of United States Sea-
ators by direct vote; indorsing the
direct primary; and supporting the
proposed amendments to the State
constitution.
The poorer features of the plat
form are the following: A spineless
and meaningless lodging of the good
roads issue; advocating a backward
step by urging the repeal of the fed
eral law which is essential to the con-
troll of the rapacity of great trusts
and corporations its pronouncement
the workingman and also to the en-
ployer; its duck of the conservation
issue on which it uses a few grand
Eloquent words but avoids saying any
thing of any point; its treatment of
the taxation issue where with
splendid opportunity for a progressive
utterance it falls back on a pointed
platitude which reminds one of the
Republican platform plank on the
same question. Neither party's say on
the taxation issue will butter any par
ships.
The joke of the Democratic plat
form is its handling of the tariff is
sue, Regulating the whole Demo-
cratic theory on the tariff question it
adopts the entire doctrine of the pro-
gressive Republicans. If it is sincere
it indicates remarkable change of
heart on the part of our Democratic
friends that lands them almost in the
Republican camp.
Taken as a whole the platform is
safe and sane. Not as radical as the
Republican platform and offering less
in the way of progressive theory it is
calculated not to scare away any Re-
publican voter who feels inclined to
vote for Mr. Watson instead of DR..
Mead. Perhaps it was written with
this in view. If so the job was clever
ly done.
