ling departure from the old idea that
the man should seek the office, and use
any means to secure it. The voters Of
the state have not reished that idea
for number of years and the dissat-
isfaction with the methods which have
been in vogue is more widespread
throughout Vermont than ever before.
We believe that the voters of the
state are DESTROYS OF choosing their own
candidates for office, or al least hav-
ing some voice in their selection. They
are weary of having candidates foisted,
upon them without having anything to
say in regard to the matter. are weary
Of paid emmisaries, the glad hand for
the time being the eradicable smile, and
inquiries after the health OF the fam
lily, the poultry and the pigs. This sort
of thing will not be tolerated longer
In Vermont, as has been evidenced from
all parts OF the state, eliminating in
last evenings spontaneous and enthu-
siastic invitation, by several hundred
citizens, to a man Of unsurpassed acu-
men, man OF recognized administrative
ability, man who has given OF his
time freely and without compensation
to his city, county and state, a man
better fitted in every way to become
the chief executive of the common
wealth than any who has been named
for long series Of years, a man, who
from poor boy, has, wholly through
his own unaided efforts, integrity, con
seientiousness to duty, and. ability Of
the highest type, attained an enYiabe
reputation throughout the state, to be-
come candidate for the governor.
Mr.. DeBoer's position on the question
OF obtaining nomination and election
alone will give him vast additional
strength The voters Of the state have
been awaiting such candidate and 1t
n cebtain that they will give him
hearty and enthusiastic support. His
s.alwart Republicanism is unquestioned
and unehaleHged, and he would, if nom
mated as we feel assured he win be,
secure vote at the polls that could not
be approached by any candidate now in
the field
From the enthusiasm displayed last
evening it was evident that the friends
OF Mr.. DeBoer viii exert every effort
to secure his nomination and election.
The voters OF the state viii have an
opportunity to give their support to a
man who was asked to become a can
didate and one whose wholesome and
ideas are fully explained in
his speech, which is published else
where We feel confident that the next
occupant of the gubernatorial chair will
be Hon. Joseph A. DeBoer Montpelier

HANDLING TUBERCULOSIS CASES.

In previous statements Of the state
tuberculosis sanatorium at Pittsfeld,
the statement is explicitly made that
the institution is for the treatment of
incipient cases of tuberculosis. rather
than those which are far advanced, or
chronic, as it is sometimes called. That
such distinction is wise seems to be
borne out by the storm of criticisms
which is now directed at the Massachu-
sets state institution at Rutland, Mass,
since there is a great clamor in that
state to abolish the institution entirely
because Of alleged unfulflled purpose.

The Big Store With Little Prices.

In commenting on the situation there,
the Boston Herald says:
'sBoth incipient and chronic cases Of
tuberculosis should receive treatment in
public sanitaria, one class because there
by cures may be effected, and the other
in order that the danger of spreading
the contagion may be reduced But it ~
not desirable that the two kinds Of cases
should be commingled in the same insti-
tuition. The depressing effects on the
ineipient cases Of the neighborliness OF
last.stage sufferers almost defies exag-
geration. This is the mistake that has
been made at Rutland. Under the pres
emit law, physicians make their own
Interpretation of 'incipient.' and pa
tients themselves often greatly misrep-
resent their own condition in order to
get within it's favoring portals. AS a
result of these unfortunate tendencies,
a surprisingly large percentage of the
inmates at Rutland are to-day bedrdden,
and to that extent the institution is pre-
vented from performing its best work"
It does seem to be mistake to place
persons Of all stages Of the disease TO-
gether. and the board Of managers of
the Vermont institution did wisely to
restrict the acceptance OF inmates to the
incipient cases. If ever another insti.
tuition Of the same nature is established
in Vermont, as it seems likely there will
be sooner or later, it ought to be devoted
to the more advanced cases Of tuberculo-
sis, Until that time, however, we can
well profit by the apparent error in the
Rutland, Massachusetts,, institution.

MR.. DE BoER AND PARTY PROMISES


Conservative Republican papers in
Massachusetts, give as the cause OF the
party's defeat at the polls in that state,
its failure to keep up with the times, its
lack Of progressiyeness and failure TO
grasp new conditions and situations.
While there is no danger Of Vermont's
clecting other than Republican for
governor next year, this assertion cannot
continue to be made year after year, il
the party continues to make promises In
its platform which il fails to fulfill after
the election. Mr.. DeBoer represents the
progressive element Of the Republican
party in Vermont and is very pronounced
in his assertions that the party should
keep its platform promises. The first
thing to do toward keeping these prom
ises is to elect to office men who are
aggressively active in favor Of the poll
cies and laws advocated in the platform
mot let some man select the Office for
himself without regard to what he
stands for. Mr. DeBoer has well-defned
ideas on the issues Of the day and he
is not afraid TO express them, advocate
them and work to make them statute
law. He also has the ability to present
these views in a convincing manner, and
if nominated for governor will make a
campaign next fall that win bring out
the fullest party vote These are two
reasons why he should be the Republican
nominee for governor next year.

GRANITE is RECOMMENDED.

It has been suggested to The Times
that instead Of placing an iron bridg
across the Jail branch on South Main
street, il would be far better to build
a stone arch structure in place OF the
wooden bridge now there. A bridge of
granite material handy would make
both a servieeable and beautiful struc-
ture, to be sure; and the suggestion is
worthy Of consideration. The stone arch
bridge could be made with single arch,
as the river is not wide at that point,
and it would stand there for years pos
sibly century Moreover, it would
require little or no attention from year
to year, whereas an iron bridge rusts and
corrodes besides requiring frequent
painting over. 1t would also bear tbs
heavy weights of stone which are teamed
over that street every day Of the year.
AS to beauty Of design there can be
little doubt that granite bridge would
be more attractive than an iron strue-
ture. Granite parapets hanking the
bridge to modest height would not
shut off the view of the approaches ami
would open up that part OF Main street
in satisfactory manner. That partic
ular section Of the street has been for
years one of the least attractive parts
81 the city, and an architectural design
for bridge would help materially 20
relieve the conditions. This is mat
ter which citizens of Barre might well
take an active interest in.

MEN US. BoYs IN FooTBALL.

Next years captain of the Andover
academy football eleven is now % years
of age and will, Of course, be "a years
old when captain of the team. 1t is
announced that he win enter Yale uni
versity on graduation from the academy,
which will bring him around to his 25th
year. Barring hard luck he is, therefore,
slated to get through college when well
up to 80 years Of age. Who said any
thing about making life work Of going
to school? Inasmuch, too, as the age Of
% is considerably more than the average
age Of q man graduating from college
nowadays, it does not seem unreasonable
that high schools demand an age limit
in playing preparatory schools Of the
class Of Andover, Exeter, Lawrenceyille
and similar institutions. A man OF %
has about reached the height Of physical
development and ought not to be play
ing against striplings of l6 and II years.
It was belief to this effect that caused
the adoption of Schoolmasters' club
rules to govern athletic contests in Yer
mont year or so ago and about which
there has been more or less discussion
during the past fall. We do not consider
it right to play college teams against
high school and academy teams, because
of the disparity in ages and physical
development No more should we al
low academy and seminary players of
the early 20's play against high school
teams. One or two full-grown men
might not be able to do great injury
to youth in football game, but rules
which permit the assembling of at least
eleven fullgrown men on one team are
not reasonable. Hence, tho justice Of
the Schoolmasters' club rules in Yer
mont and the insistence that the rule
be lived up to in respect to age of play
ers.
