FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Pub

There is something refreshing in a
situation which enables a candidate
for governor of Vermont to make the
unchallenged assertion that he has
not spent as much as postage
stamp to secure the nomination of a
great party. OF course, we all know
that the first position on the Demo-
cratic state ticket is not the cyno-
sure that the Republican nomination
is, because the holder of 1t ineyitab-
ly goes down to defeat However, it
is a defeat not without honor, since
the candidate is oftentimes able to
say, as did Mr. Watson that he came
by the nowination in normal proce-
dure, that Is, with the Office seeking
the man, instead Of the man seeking
the Office So, though he will in all
probability go down in defeat, he will
have no regrets, and he will be in a
position to win the plaudits of the
people by saying;
That there may be no misunder
standing, | now voluntarily announce
that | have not expended any money
not even so much as postage stamp
to secure this nomination; nor have
| authorized another to eXpend any
money for me. To the truth Of that
statement, | am ready to give oath
Speed the day when nomination by
the Republican party shall be obtain
ed in an equally refreshing manner
or when each candidate shall be helt
to strict accounting of all his ex
penditures-Ba Times.

WORK
 ON THE INCREASE

Little Rock, Ark, June 17.-'Educa- tional work in Arkansas is certainly on the increase and there is a general awakening taking place all over the state," remarked George B. Cook, superintendent of public instruction yesterday afternoon "The teachers normals being held in the various counties of the state this year are 30 per cent better attended this year than ever before and all the teachers are enthusiastic ever their work, which means they are getting the very best out of the opportunities. Thera were 40 institutes held last week, about 20 this week and the balance of the counties will hold their normals within the next two weeks. Besides this the Normal at Conway and Uni versity of Arkansas are holding sum- mer normals which are being largely attended This sort of work is sure to show in the public schools during the next year.
