"stay on the Farm"

Whatever we may think OF the
movement from city TO farm, to spike
the gun Of the exhorter, inquire
Would you be willing to go, your
self?' Boston Transcript.
This should not be considered as
so much OF q Back to the farm
movement as a Stay on the farm
movement. The problem is to make
farm life so inviting, both from a
social and an economic viewpoint
that children born to that life and its
inheritance will stay on the soil and
improve their patrimony.
There is just as much occasion for
the city dweller as there ever was OF
course, but the city has been too long
recruiting from the people that should
have stayed on the farm.
One OF the most difficult phases OF
the whole problem is that in the very
nature of things, n large part OF the
farming population farms by inheri-
lance and not from choice. The farm
ers son does not always grow up free
to have his election among many op
portunitles to make n livelihood or to
follow the bent Of some gift for an
art or a craft with which Nature may
have endowed him. He is more than
often obliged to stay on the old farm
and carry on the ancestral acres, OF
ten because somebody must stay AT
home and take care OF the old folks
often because he has never had an
opportunity to try to NJ himself for
anything else. and often because the
farm Is the familys only property and
the husbandman that succeeds to II
must live on his own land to make
the most Of his inheritance.
The boy In the village or city can
frequently choose whether he will
take up farming or not The boy on
the farm does not have so wide a
freedom.
Just as soon as the people of this
generation can be persuaded that
there Is a life OF comfort and indepen.
dence In farming when II is conduct
ed under modern scientific methods
life that offers comparatively more
comfort and independence than any
other occupation open to the average
man. Just so soon we shall have no
difficulty In keeping the population Of
the countryside up to It's proper pro
ductlve strength.
Agriculture is n science, not n mere
makeshlft occupation. II requires
brains, special fitness, and speola
training to be a first class farmer
There is no nobler calling on the foot
stool than that OF the husbandman.
The trouble is now, not only thai
too many men are farming by inheri
lance and not from choice, but tina
too many other men think that any
body can make n living at farming
when he has failed at everything else
st Adams Messenger

While child labor in Vermont has
not become as serious a question as
in many States, it is altogether adj
visable that such a law as Senator
Archibald proposes in a bill defining
the conditions under which children
may be employed in different occupa-
tions should have careful considera-
ton and favorable action. IL is I'M
doubtedly necessary that children be
employed In many instances to help
along the family living but in every
such case the greatest possible care
should be taken for their physical
and moral welfare. The legislature
will only do its full duty by giving
careful attention to the enactment
of any necessary laws to this end
Mortified News.
Legislation of the nature proposed
is in every way commendable. AT
the same time it is n pleasure to
note that 1t is not so much demanded
by present existing conditions as was
the case some years ago. The in
fluence of public opinion and the en-.
forcement of the compulsory educa-
ton laws has in large measure
eliminated the evil in Vermont.

Mr.. Amey's Statement.

In reference TO the communication

Mr.. Ferguson.

the disposition OF my colleagues 10

themselves and their constituents

the interests OF that letter.
What Mr.. Ferguson says about

Incorrect.

thoroughly that a fine Of 5000 was

II was as anxious as anyone to get

so.
No. Mr.. Ferguson, YOU have no
reason TO cry mad dog II you know

And 1t will. We are only seeing the
beginning Of the broadcast realization
of the fundamentals Of political and
civic democracy that America has
ever dreamed of. We have been
merely playing on the edges Of such
liberty heretofore. The people are
one day to come into their proper

and they will begin by nominating
their own candidates for public Office

one argument and another voted

anyone that there is no occasion for
fear. presume MIR. Amey will
grant the Superintendent the same
privilege as to him.
OF course Mr.. Amey will claim he
had no personal animus. he may arise
to another question Of privilege" on
his own behalf, but the above are
facts and his indicative and bitter
attack upon the writer of the letter

selves.
Now, Mr.. Editor, all | ask is fair

and unjust to me in frequently say
ing | give no credit for honesty to
those who disagree with me. | be-
ieve there are just as honest Local
Optionists as | claim to be State

FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Pub'r

The newspaper reports of the de-
bate on the direct primaries bill in
the house Tuesday stated that the OPP
position which resulted in the killing
of the measure came from the repre-
sentatives of the small towns While
this assertion was applicable in the
case of many sections it was not
strictly so in Bennington county. The
Representatives from this county who
favored the measure were Abbott of
Landgrove, Blanchard of Readsboro,
Bishop of Stamford, Howe of Ben
nington, Orvis of Manchester and
Wall of Dorset. Those who voted
against the bill were Bentley of Sand
gate, Briggs of Searsburg, Bowen of
Sunderland, Bowles of Woodford,
Mattison of Glastonbury, Myers of
Pownal, Webb of Arlington, Williams
of Peru. Roberts of Rupert, Hawkins
of SALISBURY and Williams of Win
hall were absent or not voting.

Motor Speedway, Indianapolis, Ind, May 26.-Thirty-four cars qualified to- day. two were withdrawn and 10 re- main to make the elimination speed trials for the 500-mile automobile race, to be held here Memorial Day. Special qualification tests will be given these 10 remaining cars Monday morning. It now seems certain there will be more than 40 starters In the big race.
 The large size of the field of start CTS Is giving the speedway managers more concern than they are willing to admit. In this connection practice start ing with field of dozen cars was held on the track this afternoon. Twen- ty-six is the largest field ever started on the Indianapolis speedway. Drivers were not told of the time made nor were they apprised of the distance to be covered to qualify. Each car was sent around one lap and during that lap was required to attain a speed of not less than 75 miles an hour. The officials took the time at a certain half
