OLD HOME WEEK.

Wilmington, Vermont, was one of the
towns which originated the Old Home
Week custom years before it was called
to attention of people generally through
the efforts of Gov. Rollins of New Hann-
shire, who should be given credit for
bringing the observance into more or less
popularity in several states. New Hamp-
shire makes more Of Old Home celebra-
lions than other states, but in many Yer
mon towns sons and daughters. widely
scattered, return to their native heath to
renew old association.
The Manchester Union Is right in de-
claring that Old Home Week will be per
manent because of the forces contained
within itself These reunions of friends
long parted, and the revival of interest
in their childhood homes of men and
women who have attained prosperity and
influence in other states cannot be meas
ured by dollars and cents.
1t is not so much question of the Gift.
and memorials that it has prompted a.
Of the strengthening of the bonds of re.
lationship and association which are 50
liable to be weakened by neglect. The
reunions have brought pleasure to the old
and inspiration to the young They have
been well worth while, and they viii con
tinue to be worth while as the years 90
by.

Vacation time is at hand. August is
the great vacation month, but the entire
year from May to November is a good
time for outings The man who boasts
that he has not taken vacation in 'steen
years may be proud of his persisteney
and hard work, but he is not living in
the right way. Too often people make
their vacations too strenuous, like their
regular lives, and return home more tired
than when they went away One of the
great values Of vacation period is in the
zest which it gives to one on return to
work The best kind of a vacation is one
in which the social frills and cares are
discarded BY living outdoor, by getting
close to nature and in cultivating the
faculty of throwing care aside and in be-
ing in a receptive condition for repose
the greatest benefit is derived. Vacation
is a health asset, and rightly enjoyed it
means more work and better work in the
year to come

PUTTING ii UP TO THE CANDIDATES

The AID Club has hit upon an excellent idea
Ito invite before it candidates for various po.
litieal offices at the coming election and to ask
them for an expression of views on problems
now before the people s~2. f~,~.42, -
This plan is exactly in line with what the
Star-B Bulletin has been adyocating-a demand
by the voters that candidates be required to
show that they have some definite ideas ON mu-
nicipal or territorial government. At every
election since the territorial form of govern
ment was established men have been elected to
local office on a platform of flubdub and flow.
cry generalities and when in office have
proved miserable failures But this is true less
and less as each election passes and the failures
become apparent. One of the splendid posi-
hilities of the new direct primary law is that
candidates can no longer rely on the Glorious
Record of Grand Old Party, or the Sterling
Virtues of the Jeffersonian Organization to
boost them into nominations for the purely
local offices which have nothing to do with ma.
tional parties. At the primaries every man. if
the voters will only demand it, must stand or
fall by his own personal worth, ability and char
acter and his own personal willingness to be of
service to his city, his county and his territory.
Under these circumstances it behooves every
candidate to work out some definite platform
IDEAS. He will run on a party platform, it is
true, but if he is worth electing he will be able
specifically to interpret that platform to the
electorate in terms of what he is going to do
should he be successful<at the polls. ..r:=.
The AID Club numbers now about 600 MEM
hers. An invitation to appear before it may
justly be esteemed an honor by any candidate,
and those who appear may expect to be asked
some straightforward questions that should be
answered in the same way 49,, @.-.. -
