REPRESENTATIVES AND THE
PLATFORM.

When asked if he favored the planks
of the republican state platform the
other day, a republican representative
elect replied that he didn't know as
he had read it. That is the whole
story. Fully half of the towns do
not care about the qualifications of
their men, their ability, or their un-
Outstanding of state affairs. but send
this or that man because it belongs to
him or because he is good fellow.
These men get to Montpelier without
the slightest idea of what is expected
of them, what the proposed legislation
of their party is, and consequently
stand nowhere themselves. They are
a hindrance to businosslike progress
in the legislature ana drag upon
those who are we'll read, we'll rounded
and broaIened and experienced in
public affairs.
What possible excuse has repre-
sentative elect to be ignorant Of the
platform of the republican party II
has been plbli he'd by nearly if moi
all of the papers Of the state, and If
the legislator does not take news
paper or if he takes it but does no
read what is going on in the state Is
he really qualified to be law maker?
But it is not too late to repair par
Of the trouble. If representative
elect who go to Montpe lier October
will take some pains to post them
selves on questions Of the day the Yer
mont legislature may meet and i'm
mediately take up the business wit
understanding and go through tn
work with expedition. Let US hav
no repetitions Of 1908.
Constitutional amendments, tax lay
reform, road problems, campaig1
expense laws. school improvements
methods of advertising the state

service commission, all these an
many more as important subjects nee

men who are to make our laws.

They Liked the Story.

Conan Doyle related this anecdote to
show how good story can delight
simple minded folk:
In remote village the blacksmith
had got hold Of an old copy Of sue
cessful novel In the long evenings he
used to read it aloud to the villagers,
who fairly reveled in it and listened
it out patiently to the end. At length.
when the happy turn of fortune arriy-
ed which brings the hero and heroine
together and sets them living long and
happily. according to the most approx
ed rules. the villagers were so delight
ed at the happy ending that they rush
ed off to procure the church keys and
rang merry peal, as they were wont
to do when a member Of their commu'
nifty was married.

Barton Sets the Pace.

Barton takes pride in the fact that
at the recent state election eighty per
cent of its voting strength was polled
or, in other words, four out of
every five citizens voted. 1t claims
to be the banner town of the state,
and we fancy that the claim is we'll
founded as far as the larger towns are
concerned. Barton certainly sets a
good example Tor the rest of US to
follow. The fact that Burlington had
about 100 voters who failed to ac-
count for themselves at the polls is
not exactly matter of pride. At
every election, indeed our stay-at-
home vote ranges from 1000 to 1000.
The number is wonderfully large con-
sidered in detail. A sense of duty
would, one would think, draw every
elector to the polls-duty to himself,
his neighbors, the community, and
the state Then, again, the solicita
ton of candidates and their friends
might be supposed to have some
drawing power, and when to this i!
added the work of the party commit
tees, it seems that it must be a very
shy voter who could not be coaxed tt
the polls. And yet we see, year afte
year, very high percentage Of non
voters.
To get back to Barton, the Monito
claims that remarkable feature o
its vote on September 6, is the fac
that only four towns or cities cas-
more republican governor votes. Bur
lington cast 1887, Rutland 1912, Ben
nington 754, ST. Johnsbury 665 an
Barton comes next with 629. Thi
gives Barton the sixth greatest dele
gated strength in Vermont.
And finally Barton gave DR.. Mea
the greatest majority of any town o
city in Vermont. Barton is on tn
map" saws the Monitor. land ma
f we'll feel proud of her standing in tn
: state and Individual voters may b
congratulated upon their effort to d
|. their duty at the polls" And so sa

Ten thousand spectators at the Gale
donia County fair at st. Johnsbury Fri
day, saw G. F. WillarI /, a professional
aviator direct from the great Boston
aviation meet, rise from the fair ground
in a biplane, fly down the valley, turn
and fly back over the grounds and over
the village of ST. Johnsbury, turn again
and alight on the spot where he went
up. all with apparent ease and safety.
The feat was novel to probably all of
the people present, and yet who dares
say that by the time the youngsters
now in the kindergarten are in the high
school such an event will cause no ex-
element or wonder. in fact be an
everyday occurrence and the child who
hears one speak of remembering
when the first man-bird flew in Yer.

The Barton Monitor is invited to
state when and where the Republican
state committee has changed it's
rule. formally adopted in 1900 and since
followed, of basing representation in
party conventions of presidential years
on the vote for governor in the pre-
ceding presidential, not off-year cleo
ton? Is the pronouncement of publi-
city agent, even if backed up after
ward by the chairman of the state
committee, sufficient? Did the CONT
tee. at regular or special session duly
called, with quorum present for bust
ness, amend the rule this year? and if
not, is any agent of the committee, or
any single member of the committee,
warranted in advertising or announc
ing that such change will be made
two years hence?-Randolph Herald.
The Monitor does not know when
where. or how, by whom or by wha
method the state committee decided
that delegated representation to con
ventions in 1912 should be governec
by the governorship vote of 1910
We do know that Chairman William
of Newport has said that this would b.
the case. We take Williams at hi

good thing to change the meeting time
of the September term of Orleans

week is the county fair date and
every year the opening of court and
