Now and then young man goes out
from Vermont and he almost invariably
makes good. A case in mind is that
of James Hooker, who went from
Brattleboro few years ago and is now
one of the representative leading men of
Schenectady, N. Y, being connected with
one of the leading industries of that place.
His good qualities have been recognized
there and he is now the nominee of three
parties for comptroller of that city. Mr..
Hooker has a right to be identified with
everything that points towards progress
and advancement of his city, as his father,
the late Col Hooker, was a Give wire"
in Brattleboro. While we are pleased to
note the recognition of this young mans
ability. we regret that he did not stay in
Brattleboro. 1t is the young men of this
sort that Vermont needs and can ill-afford
to have 60 out of the state

1t is very amusing to hear this Charles
H. Thompson of the progressive" crew
tell what the Republicans of Vermont
fear. Mr.. Thompson may know all
about the politics of Vermont. what each
party fears or desires, but we think that
a great deal of his talk eminates from his
own noddle The Republican party in
this state is made up of thinking people,
people who have the best interests of the
state at heart. This has been SO since
the Republican party was born and the
record of that party in this state is such
that it has no fear of going before the
people with it. 1t has done so year after
year and will continue along that line in
the future. The party is not made up of
fools or knaves. neither does it abound
with thieves and cut -throats-as some of
the like of this TIL )mpson would have
the people believe.

A good many Republican newspapers
ease their feelings with regard to the new
tariff bill by calling President Wilson
"doctrinaire," which is more polite
way of saying "schoolmaster." The new
tariff bill may be good or bad-time will
tell but the bill cannot be condemned by
calling names, politically or otherwise.
Plato and st. Paul were "doctrinaires,"
but it must be admitted that they have
had and still have, some influence in the

ting it would lose his postmastership-
Under Il recent act of congress. how

it unnecessary for him to employ any
one not sworn into the government

SUITS TO STOP THE BUILD
ING OF LEVEES ALONG
THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER,

Suit was brought in the United
States Court in this city and in
the United States courts at st.
Louis, Mo-. Helen, Ark, ami
Clarksdale, Miss, to prevent any
further building of levees along
the banks of the Mississippi Rlv-
er, and injunctions are asked TO"
against the Mississippi River
Commission, a national body, and
against all state levee boards,
requiring the INTO cease from
building levees or bikes upon the
banks of the river.
The suits are brought i'll the
name of Riparian Land Asso-
citation" upon the plea that the
levees have caused the filling up
of the channel of the river, rails
inc the water Of the river until it
has flooded the lands of the asso-
citation near Memphis, and, there
fore, all building Of levees should
be stopped regardless of whether
Or not the entertainments give
any relief or benefit to the bal
ance Of the population in any OF
the riparian states.
The guess may at least be
hazarded that this movement Is
in aid of some other scheme or
experiment of protection from
floods, but in that case it would
seem to be in accordance with
reason and prudence not to bring
to an immediate and abrupt close
the only method of protection
from the flood waters of the river
ever tried and found beneficial,
until the other scheme shall at
least have been made available.
AS for putting a stop to vast pub
lie works carried on by the Ma
tional Government and by seve-
raj state governments for the
general welfare Of millions OF the
country's population at the de
mand of any particular landhold-
er or association of landholders,
it would be new thing in the
economic history Of this country.
1t would seem to be more prac-
teal to bring suit for damage
done to those particular land
owners, or ask Congress for an
appropriation to pay such dam
