Some of the papers seem to question the
propriety Of Hon. Kittredge Haskins OF
Brattleboro being elected lister after hav-
ing held the position of congressman from
the second district for several years II is
to his everlasting credit that he is willing
to do his full duty as citizen of his town;
that he is not stuck on himself just be
cause the people sent him to represent
them at Washington. 1t would be better
for Vermont if more of her foremost citi-
zens were of the same caliber as the Brat
tleboro statesman.

statement is found. After saying that we
cannot too often repeat the old maxim,

referring to the necessity for superior
teachers, the superintendent adds 1T
should never be forgotten that good teach

A Notable Word About Vermont.

Mr.. Charles Gleed of Kansas was a
guest of Theodore N. Vail at the time
of the meeting of the State Editorial
Association at Lyndonville last sum-
mer. He accompanied the editors
on their trip to Memphremagog and
attended the closing dinner at New
port. The program did not contem-
plate speechmaking beyond responses
to the usual toast co the State of Yer
mont and the toast to Mr.. Vail, but
President Hindley ventured to call
on Mr.. Gleed. who responded with a
few comments on the status and in
fluence of Vermont in the nation. At
the request of many of the editors
Mr.. Hindley. wrote to Mr.. Gleed ask
ing him to jot down as nearly as pos
sible what he said. Mr.. Gleed gives
the following as being what he can
remember of the serious part of his
remarks:
On the boat today | heard a stran-
ger name the three things for which
Vermont is noted. He said the three
things were maple sugar, Morgan
horses and Lake Champlain. This

great consequence. if it ever was, the
Morgan horse is. little more than g
tradition, and Lake Champlain be
