St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-04-17

The speech of w. c. Langdon be-
fore the Commercial Club last
Thursday evening revealed a feature
of st. Johnsbury's pageant that
that should appeal to the business
men of the town. If St. Johnsbury
can show to the thousands of visit
ors sure to come here at that time
some of the plans and ambitions of
the town it will be a great advertise
ment for the village.
Let us make one suggestion and
that is as neat and attractive APP
pearance in the village as a whole as
it is possible to have at that time.
This is something that needs i'm
mediate attention because spring
cleaning is on us. Then too it is
time to lay out and plant flowers in
our yards and about our houses,
Nothing can be made more attrac-
tive at that season of the year than
clean grounds adorned with flowers.
Owners of buildings should also
have them painted and put in
good repair so far as possible be-
cause we'll kept buildings always
speak of prosperity and a live pro-
gressive spirit. Money spent in this
way will be a good investment for
the individual and valuable to the
town.
Then of course it is time for
every person in town to begin to
boost" for the pageant. 1t cannot
be a success unless every possible
encouragement is given it and loyal
support by every live citizen is the
best possible encouragement.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-04-17
UpIift of Vermont.

The Inter-Church Federation of
Vermont has passed resolutions
committing that organization to an
effort to improve conditions in rural
Vermont. 1t proposes to aid not
only in moral improvement but in
Industrial development in order to
give Vermont boys an opportunity to
do something in Vermont. This is
a commendable move and one that
may prove of real value to the state.
We hope however that this organiza-
ton will remember that the serious
need in Vermont development is
witty. Sometime ago we urged the
necessity of larger units in church
work to be brought about by the
consolidation of the denominations.
We need the same thing in a sue
cessful uplift movement in the
state. The board of trade or bus
mess mems association should join
its forces with this organization of
the church forces and they Doth
should join with any live woman's
organization like a village improve
ment society and all work together
for the uplift of thei rtown. In al
most every town there are enough
progressive people to make it de-
velop if they can only be brought
together and united. but if they fail
to unite they lack the strength to
become forceful. This action by
the church organization shows an
other element of strength and pro-
gress ready to become a part of the
uplifting influence of Vermont
towns and we hope it means real
development for the state.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-04-17

Vermont has just passed through
as near a primary election as the
laws of the state allow and the re-
suits can hardly be called satfsfac-
tory. 1t is true that the caucuses
were properly advertised and that
every republican voter who wished
had the opportunity to cast his bal
lot for a delegation favoring his
candidate for the presidency. But
the Roosevelt men say that had
there been a primary Vermont
would have declared for Roosevelt.
The Taft men claim to the contrary.
But neither side can prove their as
sertions because we have no method
OF ascertaining how many votes were
cast for any OF the candidates in the
state as a whole.

This is the weakness OF our pre-
sent system and one we feel should
be remedied. Under our present
system we use the town as the unit
and allow the man getting the ma
jority OF the votes in the town the
victory there. Then in the state and
district conventions the majority of
the towns decide who the delegates
shall be. The majority of the towns
sometimes lack much of represent
ing the majority OF the people and
we believe that the people should be
given the voice rather than the
towns
That is all we expect a primary
law would accomplish. We do not
expect it will greatly increase. public
interest in political contests after
the new is worn on; nor that it will
make the people more honest or that
in itself it will decrease the use Of
money in politics. But it viii
give the majority of the people o.
the whole state the power to deter
mine who the candidates shall be
and we believe will be a fairel
method of choosing our public ser
wants.

What Vermont Needs.

Something as violent as the pro-
posed 1916 exposition is needed in
Vermont if the state is to gain in
popularity and prosperity while
the rest of northern New England
has been getting greater and great
er returns on its natural beauties
and doing everything possible to
attract people, the Green Mountain
state has seemed lethargic and un-
interested. A succession of two
or three really progressive COVER
nors would be an excellent prelude
to the big show of 1916.-Boston
Evening Herald.
Admittedly, there is something
in the statements which are thus
given by the contemporary in analy-
sis of Vermont's situation; the
state does need waking up to it's
full possibilities as place of great
attractiveness. But perhaps the
contemporary is not aware that
there is an awakened sentiment in
