"LeSt We FORGET"

If the boys of 16 and II years of Age
had been taken out OF the Union army
after Gettysburg the Union army would
have been a shadow. Boys of 10 and Of
IA enlisted and were accepted. They
went into the fray as lads; they came out
a year or two years later as bronzed vet
Grams, with the terrible lessons of war
we'll earned. They took into the battle
line youthful abandon and sublime cour-
age. They went in health; many ofthem
came back shattered wrecks of men.
The veterans are answering the last
roll-call very fast now. The nation can
do little for them and that little canno t
be done long.
The critics of the pension system seize
upon extreme instances of fraud and
abuse and try to hold them as typical in
stances of widespread system of public
plumber Such critics forget that for every
fraud on the pension list there are thou
sand honest and deserving men, whose
daily needs are supplied, in large part, by
the small amount given them by Uncle
Sam.
The new service pension bill will be crit
cized, but not by those who understand
the real condition of affairs.

Autoists, Take Heed!

Editor Ne.os and Citizen:-
wish to call the attention of your
! readers to one OF the Acts of 1910, that
seems to have been generally overlooked
at least the almost absolute disregard O
it would indicate that to me. One acct
dent has already occurred in town by
reason of a violation Of the law, and un
less it is observed in the future will be
attended to.
The statute in question reads in part
as fcllows:-
No. 141, Acts of Session of 1910. 1.-THE
operator of an autmoble or motor vehi-
icle, shall upon approaching a crossing
OF intersecting highways, bridge, sharp
turn, curve, steep descent or brow of a
hill have the automobile or motor vehi-
Gle under perfect control and give a time
~ signal WI bell, horn or other device
tor signalling, and person who viclates
this provision shall be fined not more
than one hundred dollars"

Where Has Spring Gone :!

Everywhere have been heard complaints
Of the backward spring. 1t was said
that the season is three weeks late and
that the weather conditions have been
exceptional this year.
SO far as the meanness of the weather
voice. 1t has been a cold, wet, sloshy,
sneezy, snuffling and generally uncom-
Portable spring But it is yet to be proved
that it is exceptional The fact is that
in this latitude at least, spring has come
to be little more than tradition. Some
of them are dry and some of them are wet,
but all are cold, windy and disagreeable.
There is no spring any more except in the
minds of 1.-THE oldest inhabtants' and
the spring poets. We jump from winter
into summer without any intermediate
season.
Meteorological wiseacrcs tell us that
the seasons are the same as they always
were, and they bring statistics of tenn
peratures for years to prove it. But we
whose memories run back forty years Or
more, know better.
Spring is no longer the spring of years
ago. Then it was joy and a delight
now it is simply breeder of colds and
pneumonia, with no extenuating circum.
stances. Once in a while there comes
day that awakens memories of what
once was and inspires hope that hegood
old days may return again, but the next
day is sure to be a day of cold rain or
snow squalls, with resurrection of win
ter wraps and drain on the coal.bin and
wood-pile.
Spring, real spring, is now only to be
found in the poets corner

Some Benefits of the Direct
Primary
New York SUM

1t means two elections instead of one.
Most voters have to work for living
and cannot devote all their time to the
selection of the agents of government
men of leisure run the primaries
Itprovokes bitter and incurable animos
tiles within the party.
This is mere matter of detail The
truth is mighty and must prevail. 1t is
better that the faults and frailties of Taft
and Roosevelt should be shown up than
that the Republicans should beat the
Democrats.
1t makes offices attainable only by the
rich
Well, this is what the people seem to
want or they would not insist upon a
system which gives the poor man no
chance as candidate. Abraham Lincoln
would never have attained the Presidency
if he had mad to chase the nomination in a
special train.
1t exposes all the weaknesses of the
party leaders on one side to the voters OF
the opposite party.
Could any mere Democrat possibly
have discovered the Objectionable charac.
teristics ofTaft and Roosevelt which those
gentlemen have pointed out in one an.
other?
1t promotes bossism, corruption. bust
ness disorder and general discomfort.
And yet any one who ventures to sug-
gest doubt as to whether the direct pri
mary, including a preferential primary
for President, isn't the finest thing on the
pike is denounced by all reformers as a
standpatter and an enemy ofhis country.

For Democratic DELEGATE

Howard E. Shaw of Stowe is promi

to the National Democratic Convention
at Baltimore. Some good things, all de.
cidedly true, are being said about him
by the state press in this connection
Here are few of them
(vcrgennes vermonter)
H. E. Shaw of Stowe is candidate for
delegate to the Baltimore convention
from the first district. Mr.. Shaw is a
successful business man, who has had
legislative experience, and his candidacy
can consistently be endorsed by all good
Democrats. He has many good friends
in his own county who will work for him.

Howard E. Shaw of Stowe, one of the
brightest young business men of Vermont
and a popular member of the last House
OF Representatives, is candidate for del
egate to he National Democratic conven-
ton in Baltimore. A. H. Gleason of this
village is another candidate for dele
gate-at-large. These two men would do
credit to the Democrats of Vermont in
case they are honored with these
positions.

One of the recently suggested is Howard
E. Shaw of Stowe, who represented
Stowe in the legislature of 1910, in spite
of the fact that Stowe is more than two
to one Republican. He is one of the
leading young business men of Stowe and
in the legislature served with particular
credit as chairman of the committee on
state and court expenses and as men,
Der of the committee on rules. 1t is on
men like Mr.. Shaw that the Democratic
party must depend in order to make
progress in the future. He is clean, ce-
pable, aggressive and progressive, and
most loyal to the interests of Vermont
Lamoille county has not been represented
at Democratic national convention for

for the Democrats of the state to make
him one of their delegates. We do not

him to be an earnest, honorable, reliable
