There is something about newspaper grind that makes for versatility.

 Writes:
 Newspaper stories.
 Plays.
 Songs.
 Press stuff.
 Acts straight and character parts.
 Promotes:
 Auto shows.
 Show shops.
 Business enterprises of various sorts.
 And does a lot of little minor in significant things like being the best informed American pressman on th" subject of the Pari mutuel form of race track betting, and one of the best informed race writers in the land.
 Art Rick is not his name. It is his appellation. How it came about was dug up by the ''storyteller' yes terday
 Richards wrote for a lush-ous city editor once upon a time. It was in the days when they had little half column cuts of the writer to help lead off the story. Sometimes the cut was better than the story and sometimes vice stanza. Richards signed his stuff" He turned in his very first story. City ed looked at it with happy sort of a drunken grin on his map.
 'Shtew long a name" he uttered. "'Ll hafta cut r down Til Make t Art Rick shee?"
 He had cut Richards name in two and slowed it around, sos to read backward

Perhaps it is not necessary to state
that Vermont marble is selected for
many federal buildings because of its
superior quality and beauty; but it
should be stated for the benefit Of the

has more than one industrial "sideline"
on which it is depending for progress.
For instance, there 10 granite, Vermont

In California and Iowa.

| Col. Roosevelt will return in about
a month. 1t is announced that he will
again lead the armies at Armageddon.
But he will find that Prendergast, his
great lieutenant in New York, has al
ready gone back to the old party. Sem
ator Bristow has also returned to it.
California reveals still more convincing
iy the trend of events. 1t was the
great Moose stronghold, Taft was there
excluded from the ticket. and enthu-
siastic Republicans could vote for him
only by the use of stiekers. The presi-
Dental election came equally between
Roosevelt and Wilson. The fresh regis
tration figures show an astonishing
change. They are Republicans, 59,9l3;
Democrats, $3.50; Progressives, Bats.
I'm Los Angeles the 1912 vote gave
Roosevelt, S0,l03, Wilson 55,322, Taft,
under 10000 The registration now
reads: Republican 1872, Democratic
S,365, Progressive, 1918. Here is
change that time can only emphasize.
The second district of Iowa is the one
where the parties have most recently
gone to the polls. The campaign was
very brief one, rather less than two
weeks. President Wilson, Champ Clark
and Senator Reed made appeals to the
voters to stand by the Democratic adj
ministration. The result was a loss OF
5000 for the Democrats over last year,
a loss of 5000 for the Progressives,
gain for the Republicans.
And all this il wholly natural. The
Progressive movement has served its
purpose. As protest against the meth
cd Of Taft's nomination, it was justified.
The G. o. p. has learned its lesson, or
dered the necessary reforms, and win
not offend again. Many of the Pro-
gressiye ideas have been carried out
for better or for worse-by other par
ties. The good that the Moose have
accomplished will thus live after them.
But as distinct party they are going
out of existence.-Boston Herold.

Helping the Farmer.

onstrate to him how best to relieve
hens of the pip. He is being told how
some bugs may be planted to make the

bite his crops. Experts in construction
are telling him how to build the chick

toria accommodations for his pigs.
They have helped the farmer tremen-
dously. Now they are telling him about
the markets and about thousand other
things. And they have begun on the
farmers wife. They are telling her how
to plan the kitchen, how to make the
sink sanitary, how to lay out the pantry,
how to make the washing go easier.
The farmer deserves all the atten-
tion he is getting, and the farmers wife
deserves as much or more than the farm
er. As class he is the first citizen in
the land. He is not only useful but he
is wise and solid. He does his work on
broad acres under Gods sky, and the
character of the man attests the effect
of this. He feeds and clothes the world.
We could not have civilization as we
now have it without the business man.
but without the farmer we could not
have life.
However, there is one feature of this
helping of the farmer that we started
out to protest against. Why is it neces.
sary for the excellent gentlemen who
help the farmer to preface their help
full articles with remarks on the pres
emit backwardness of the farmer in the
particular matter with which they are
dealing. The farmer is not backward,
they are forward. He is open minded
and aggressive and the farmers wife is
a paragon of energy. But so many diff
ferent people have been telling the farm
er so many different things in such a
short time that it was not in human
nature to do it all as quickly as the
farmer was expected to do it. Take him
in the large and he has made more sane
progress in the past few years than any
class of citizens we have, and he is still
goiDg.-Burlington Free Press.

Mr.. and Mrs. Mcbride were eating din

ling and upon investigating found tn,
woodshed on fire. All the damage was
in the ell part of the house, except fol
the smoke, which permeated the whole
building. 1t is not known Just what
started the fire, though it was ayerreG
it was either an overheated stovepipt
or hot ashes had been dumped in the
shed, which set fire to nearby articles.
In probate court yesterday, John

Joseph Brunette and Eddie Ewing

to charges of intoxication. Ewing was

Supt. Roberts of the street depart
ment entered protest at a special
melting of the city council last night
against the use of wings on the snow
pillow of the electric road and intimated
that immediate action must be taken.
He asserted that the wings piled the
snow so high on each side of the track
following Saturdays big storm that
several minor accidents occurred. Mayor
Fstee conferred with City Attorney
Bailey and he in turn with Manager
Larrabee of the Tenney company, who
said he was ready to do whatever the
city officials wanted. He stated that in
Barre the snow was cleared from the
streets by the street department with
out, as he thought, any expense to the
traction company. Communication with
the Barre officials, however, brought out
the fact that the company pays a 0ro-
portion of the cost of such removal
Supt. Roberts and Mr.. LArrabee will
reach some agreement as to the DISPOSE
ton of the snow. The council made
one revision in the warning for March
meeting, in which it inserts an article
calling for vote showing the sentiment
of the people in regard to the appro-
priation by the council of money for
band concerts and the district nurse.

The Burden on Vermont Railroads.

The burden under which Vermont rail
roads have to struggle, in order to re
duce grade crossings and to make various
other improvements demanded by legis-
lation and the pubic service commission,
is indicated by the cost of the one I'M
derpass constructed on the Rutland rail-
road at Middlebury last year. The elm
nation Of the crossing at the depot in
that village cost nearly $4,000, Of which
the railroad is compelled to pay nearly
$4,000, the balance Of the cost to be
borne by the town and the state. This
is an index of what people are demand
ing of the railroads in these days and it
should give them pause to consider.
While the elimination OF dangerous
crossings is something to which atten-
ton should be given, there should tie
a disposition to treat the railroads fairly
