East Side Politics.

East Side Politics.
We have long suspected that the
time would come when the East side
would insist on holding all the offices.
Can it be that the hour has arrived. |
At the present time all members of |
the Vermont delegation in Congress, |
all the elective state officers save one,
all the appointive state officers bat
one, and all the eleven supreme court
and superior court judges save three,
either now reside on the east side or
were born and raised there. Of course
the west side being naturally gener-
GUS and kind will let them have it all
if they insist on it.-Bennington Ban

No Seat, No Pay.
After the announcement that the
Central Vermont railroad had put on
extra coaches to accommodate the pa
irons of the road comes the informa-
tion that the road has been carrying
passengers free when the latter re-
fused to pay fares on being compelled
to stand in the vestibules of the
coaches because of the crowded condi-
ton of the cars. Therefore, it APP
pears that the Central Vermont's
action in putting on extra coaches
was measure of self protection, as
we'll as of accommodation to patrons
and the seven pioneers in the new
emancipation, who rode from Essex
Junction to Montpelier last Saturday,
have blazed very important trail for
the general public to follow.-Barre

Harry B. Amey.
The engagement by the Central
Vermont Railway company of an at
tOrney to assist its general counsel,
c. w. Writer'S of st. Adams. means
that Mr.. Writers will be relieved of
some of the arduous duties of his posi-
ton. Mr.. Writers has managed ably
and faithfully the Central Vermont's
legal department a long terms of
years. He has shown unfailing loyal
tv to the corporation employing him
and the company is manifesting it's
appreciation by tightening his bur-
dens. While working always. and
properly, in the interest Of his client,
Mr.. Writer'S at all times has stood for
a square deal. and any promise made
by him to opposing counsel or to any
one else has been as certain of fulfil
ment as though backed up by an
ample bond. In this way he has
gained the confidence of courts and
attorneys throughout the state. Har-
, ry B. Amey of Island Pond. who will
assist Mr.. Writer'S, made his mark as
the keenest, most logical and forceful
) debater in the last session of the Yer
mont Legislature. -Brattleboro Phoe-

Back to Vermont Farms.
The Morrisville Messenger notes a
striking tendency of the times as fol.
lows: "Only eight out of forty-two
men who applied for positions in the
navy, while the recruiting officer was
in Burlington, were accepted. The
, others did not measure up to the
physical requirements of the depart
ment, but then Vermont farmers
sons did not apply. The state is now
) offering them better inducements
light here at home. Farming not
