Vacations and Typhoid

There may be poetry in waysiie
wells and bubbling sp-ings also ty-
phoid germs. The health department
Of big city has just been giving
advice to city felix when they go on
their vacations. The chief warning
is directed against the old oaken
bucket OF poetic memory. u it is
moss-coyored. all the wo.sc. I'll,
moss is pretty r'irc rign CT gcra.c.
AS fer the well Ito bucket hangs in,
it is probably 2 d aiming place lCs sg-
face water, and as likely as not con.
tains the seeds OF typhoid and dys.
EMERY.
The same suspicion attaches to
springs. Unless their water comes
direct from deep sources, 1t may be
made unwholesome by surface drain
age or contaminated directly by in
lcctcd persons or animals.
II is hard TO make country folk be
lieve that cities have better water.
City people themselves are likely to
trust in the traditional purity OF
country water But the vacationer
who comes home to enter the typhoid
ward of hospital has no mo.e such
illusions.
When in doubt, boil the water

Why Boye Go Wrong.

While some of the western stGtec
are trying to discoyc. by legislative
inquiries why boys are bad Prof.
George Walter Fiske of Oberln Col
lego comes forward with a catego l..
cal answer. lie finds that juvenile
crime can be traced to these nine
causes:
City life is too artificial: tenements
and flats have supplanted homes:
there are too few Fairgrounds, parks
and recreation places. the policeman
is regarded by the boy as his enemy
instead OF his friend; because the
courts are stern and machine-like.
the boy thinks they are meant to
trample him down: the school system
is inhexible, lacking specialized
courses OF interest to boys; recrea.
tion is unrcgula;ed; boys are ox.
plotted by child labo.; divorces by
parents drive them TO the streets.
The list seems fairly complete.
though lack OF religious instruc-
ten might be added The central
truth in the whole matter seems TO
he that the normal prosent-day boy
is naturally just as decent as the
boy CT any other gene alton. and If
he goes wrong in greater numbers
Il is because social condiu MS for
which he is not responsible We him
the sian. toward vice and crime
Cities owe il to the boys to improve
these conditions.-Burlington ..,ws.

The outcome of the contest for
the gubernatorial nomination in
Wednesdays Republican state con-
vention occasioned no surprise. 1t
was evident the evening prior to the
gathering that the Gates sentiment
was greater than that for any other
whose name had been connected with
the candidacy, and on the morning OF
the convention there was no doubt
what the result would be.
The delegates desired an able,
progressive man, and their desire
represented the wishes of those who
sent them to Montpelier. Mr.. Gates
made no effort to secure the nomina-
ton, was not and is not an Office
seeker, but is the possessor of those
sterling qualities, honesty OF purpose
and steadfastness in the performance
of his duty, which appealed to the
people of the State. We doubt ii
stronger candidate could be selected
in Vermont than Charles w. Gates of
Franklin.
Mr.. Howe is a young man of pro-
gressive ideas and a profound love
fer his native State, and has a host
glad to have had him secure the
nomination. We are of the opinion
that he will be heard from later
Mr. Powell has been in the habit
of doing things that count and air.
Fleetwood is strong intellectually,
in addition to being a most com
panionable man. No one gainsays
the fact that Mr. Clement is the
possessor of ability to an unusual
degree, but he entered the contest
with several handicaps. He will
not allow the fact OF his defeat to
interfere with his efforts for the ad-
vancement of Vermont.
The nomination of Hale X. Oar
ling, OF Chelsea for lieuteDantgover-
nor is particularly gratifying, and the
remainder of the list is exceptionally
good. Mr.. Scott is thoroughly equip
ped for the position OF state treasurer
ard Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Graham. have
the entire confidence of the people OF
Vermont
Herbert G. Barber of Brattleboro,
had things all his own way in the
three cornered contest for the nomna
ton as attorney general. He is
we'll known attorney, and proof of
his capability is demonstrated in the
fact that he has served IN both ban
ches Of the legislature. lie is well
equipped to look after the affairs of
the legal department of the State

BENNINGTON, VT, SEPT. 1e, 1915
FOR GATES ANr PRouTY

The Burlington Free Press, gen
orally considered the leading news
paper in Vermont, declares in favor
of Charles W. Gates for governor
and for Charles A. Prouty for Unit
ed States senator.
In opposing Senator Dillingham;
the Free Press, for the first time in
our memory, refuses to accept the
regular Republican nominee and in
thus taking an Independent view
there is no question about the Fee
Press having weight in this cam
paign. The Free Press gives its rea-
sons for supporting Prouty in prefer
ence to Dillingham; as follows:
with reference to the United
States senatorship it did not require
primary TO show that the most
spontaneous sentiment among the
rank and file was for Charles A.
Prouty, and they were anxious to
support him despite the efforts of the
capitalists back of the New Haven
aggregation to secure his shelving by
setting him at work appraising the
railroads of the country, a task that
would never end but would eliminate
him from legislation and regulation.
Indeed, word long ago came from
Washington that Prouty must be kept
out of the United States Senate at all
hazards, and that there would be no
lack of funds to meet the expense.
Every We 'monter knows that with
Charles A. Prouty in the United
States Senate the Green Mountain
State would at once take leading
position in that body. He is reco,
nized throughout the United States
AS the leading authority on the sub
ject nearest the hearts of the people
at this time and he champions the
protection Of their interests from pc
datory wealth not only in the tariff
but in other ways as well. He has
already stated where he stands, and
he will ever be found ready to sta.o
his position as well as to vote for
such protection.
M, Prouty represents tho advanc
cd political and civic principles for
which this paper stands, an for
which the great mass OF the people
of Vermont stand, as was made mani
fest in the movement for his pomi
nation months ago, regardless OF par
~. when IL was supposed there would
be no State convention. Prou.y IS
the kind of a man needed in the
United States Senate to give az again
the national prestige ou' little state
enjoyed in the days OF Edmunds and
Morrill, and Proctor

Il is possible that the name OF
Fred c. Martin of Bennington viii be
presented to the Democratic state
convention next week as candidate
for governor. Some OF his friends
are urging him to permit the use of
his name 1t has been gene ally ex-
pected that either Harland b. Howe
of st. Johnsbury or Charles ID. Wat
son of st. Adams would be the candi
date, but each of them has before
headed the ticket and good many
feel that II would be better TO take q
new man who represents the younger
element OF the party. Mr. Martin
represented Bennington at the last
session of the legislature and was
one of the delegates from Vermont
to the Baltimore convention in 1912

M HELPS
WORK OF CIVIC SECRETARY
New Town Official Has Become an Inn
portant Factor in Ameri-
can Life.

There is a new official in American
city life-the civic secretary. He rep
resents the link between education
and life in the big cities. For num-
Der of years American educators have
been striving to bridge the Chasm that
seemed to exist between educational
influences and the every day lives OF
the people. BY means of evening
schools, libraries, extension lectures
and more recently civic, social and
recreational centers much has been
done. 1t has remained to combine
these connecting educational forces
under one active officer, and this has
been accomplished by the new position
Of civic secretary.
The civic secretary at Duluth, Mimi,
is appointed by the board of public
welfare of that city. He has charge Of
all the local social center work. Plans
to secure the same sort Of officer are
reported to be under way in several
other cities of the middle west. The
official may not always be called the
civic secretary" but his functions are
generally the same. He organizes edu-
cational extension work; gives intelli-
gent and sympathetic aid to play and
recreation; stimulates discussion Of
public problems; in short, he CONSOLE
dates and directs the civic agencies Of
the community for the benefit of all
the citizens.
In Superior, Wis. "city exposition"
Is planned by the civic secretary, who
is here called director of the civic
center department. In this city ex-
position not only local industries but
the educational and municipal institu-
tons will have an opportunity to ex-
hibit their methods and results. The
exposition idea is only single item
in a large program mapped out by the
director. There will be various social
and recreational activities, lecture
courses, civic and ward improvement
clubs, and clipping bureau will be
established to collect information on
social, civic and municipal matters.

Bruner on TOP.

Commissioner Of Agriculture E. o.
Bruner is coming in for considerable
commendatory comment by a number
of papers through out the state. Dur
ing his term of Office he has been quite
active in the discharge of the duties Of
his office-in protecting the farmers
against imposition and fraud;in inspect
ing fertilizers and feed stuffs, etc. 1t
seems that he has in doing this en-
countered some criticism but from the
press of the State it appears that his
work is approved. The following
from the Eyangeline Banner is charac.
teristic:
Commission of Agriculture and
immigration E, 0. Bruner, has again
won out in his fertilizer fight. Two
years ago he HAD hard fight but won
out by small majority. This year he
had his enemies so high up the tree,
that they really went to him and beg.
ged to be let down. This indicates be.
You'd any doubt that the Commissioner
is stronger and more popular than he
was two years ago, and those who al.
tempted to destroy him politically have
added to his strength and have no
doubt dug their .own political graves.
Mr.. Bruner has made Louisiana the
best Commissioner she has ever had
and the people are standing by him.
