minute and then fail to call one.
He thought that the party should
assume position Of leadership rather
than to follow this year being the
party of national administration.
He was heartily in favor Of direct
primary, but not in favor of the
means of securing one as suggested
by Mr.. Burke.
Thomas H. Browne of Rutland said
that while he, too, favored direct
primary he was emphatically opposed
to Mr.. Burke's suggestion.
The state committee went into ex-
ecutive session at 9 o'clock and
emerged an hour later. 1t was voted
by the committee to lay on the table
the communication from the Republi-
can state committee asking that the
Democrats join with them in petition
ing the governor to call an extra SEES
sion to pass a primary law and it was
left to the chairman to communicate
this decision to the members of the
party.
This action with reference to a
primary was based upon a written
opinion submitted to the committee by
Charles D. Watson of st. Adams.
+. c Brown Elected Chairman.
The resignation of E. S. Harris of
Bennington as chairman and member
Of the committee was accepted, and
Fred C. Brown of Pownal was elected
to take his place, both as member
from Bennington county and as chair
man.
The resignation of A.. H. Gleason
Of st. Johnsbury as treasurer and
member was also accepted and the
choice of his successor in both Offices
was left to him.
Both Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Gleason
resigned because they have recently
become postmasters Of their respective
towns and as federal Office holders
felt that they ought not to be active
ly connected with the conduct Of par
tisan politics.
The meeting was adjourned, subject
to call Of the chairman. All but one
of the members Of the committee were
present and that one, ID. +. Carmody
of Fair Haven, sent an alternate in
the person Of John H. Pollard of the
same town.
Prominent members Of the Demo
cratic party present in the hotel at
the time Of the meeting were Harland
B. Howe of st Johnsbury, G. ID. Wat
son Of st. Adams, National Commit
tee-man Thomas H. Browne Of Rut-
land and Thomas A. Brown Of Will
mington.
II was remarked that with a
(, Browne for national committeeman,
another Brown for chairman Of the
state committee and third Brown
accused Of dispensing federal patron
age, party gatherings would in the
future resemble a Brown family re-
union.

Too Much MiIitarism" at Norwich

TOO Much MllltarlSm at NoTWieH
"Too much militarism" is the verdict
on Norwich university, which, never
theless, is rated with West Point as a
training school. The commission finds
it not strong enough in higher educa-
ton to receive state aid, that it is a
private institution and that elemen-
tary and secondary schools must be
first provided for.
Scholarships Criticized
1t finds that U. V. NJ, Middlebury
and Norwich are duplicating efforts
for example, in their engineering
courses, and, after reiterating that the
public schools must first be provided
for, declares specifically against
scholarships, which are declared to be
$50 Objectionable in tendency as to
leave nothing substantial in their
favor" The commission consequent
ly recommends that appropriations for
scholarships should not be made even
after the public schools are provided
for.
Raising of Funds
For revenue the commission recon-
mends "a per cent. rather than 10
per cent. state tax; (2) direct appro-
priation of $450,000; (3) income from
permanent school fund, totalling sub
stantially S750,0O0. Distribution tables
are appended and the history of the
state school funds is given in detail.
The report is signed by John H.
Watson of the supreme court, Theo-
dore N. Vail of Lyndonville, Percival
w. Clement of Rutland, Horace f.
Graham, state auditor, Frank H.
Brooks, st, Johnsbury, Eli H. Porter,
Wilmington, James B. Estee, Montpel-
Ter, and Allicon E. Tuttle Of Bellows

Harold Bell Wright's New
Book - "The Eyes of the
World" Ready Tomorrow.

THE Eyes of the World" is the
authors sixth consecutive success
and the greatest novel he has yet
written.
The setting is one Of Southern
CALIFORNIA; S cities among orange
groves and the surrounding noun
tains. In poetic feeling and in the
descriptive and character portrayal,
in fancy and conception the story
is more romantic than The Shep-
herd of the Hills Sibyl Andres,
the mountain girl, is the loveliest,
sweetest, daintiest heroine that Mr..
Wright has had. The beauty and
grandeur of the mountains is more
real, even, than the desert in THE
Winning of Barbara Worth"
The Eyes of the World will
have a tremendous influence for
cleaner, more purposeful books,

case came to court. but the police de-
partment still has his finger prints,
etc. Mr.. Miller does not want such q
record OF him kept by the police.
He had exchanged tanks with q deal
er, and there had been some disagree
ment over the payment. The matter
was one for civil court, In the frat
