CLEMENT IN THE FIELD.

Considerable interest will be inject
ed into the approaching gubernatorial
campaign by the announcement of Per
cival w. Clement of Rutland that he
will accept the Republican nomination
for that office Mr.. Clement 5 statement.
which is published in this issue of The
ReformeT, is in the nature of a plat
form on which no doubt he intends to
make his canvass, and as an exposition
of his views on state issues it is en-
titled to careful consideration. Mr.
Clement has appeared twice before as
an aspirant for the Office of chief ex-
ecutive of Vermont, once in the ia
nous local-option campaign of 1902 and
again in 1906 when he headed an I'M
successful fusion movement with the
Democrats. On both occasions he de
monstrated his ability as a campaigner,
and the chief issue on which he made
his first fight was successful even
though he himself was defeated at the
polls.
Just what Mr.. Clement 5 status will
be in the present campaign remains
to be seen, but it is not improbable that
many of those who were his bitterest
opponents in 1902 and 1906 viii be in
elined to look with favor on his pres
| ent candidacy. That he is a business
man of marked ability is acknowledged,
| and his ideas on state issues are those
of a man inclined to look on such mat
| ters from Il business viewpoint. His
suggestion that a budget be prepared
| for the information of legislators 80
| days before they convene would doubt
less play an important part in the re-
| ductiOn of state expenses, about which
| Mr.. Clement has considerable to say
as of yore. His opinion that our pres
ent judicial system is costly and com
pick and should be scrutinized with
a view to more simplicity and economy
| will meet with no disagreement. His
| belief in the reorganization of the pub
| lie school system will be generally
| shared, and in this connection it is in
| teresting to note that Mr.. Clement il
| IL lHtIlDtI VI lHC 6IHOHJ education
commission whose drastic recommends
tons were recently made public II
the matter of good roads and forestry
Mr.. Clement places himself on record
as in accord with Vermont s present
/ policy.
Assuming that nominations will bt
made by convention instead of by
primary, Mr.. Clement expresses hi
unwilhngness to send out solicitors 70
support but stands ready to enter int,
a public discussion of issues. He add
that he purposes to file with the stat
committee a detailed statement of al
his campaign expenses.
1t will be interesting to note wha
effect the Clement announcement vii
have on the candidates. of Lieut. GOV
Frank f. Howe of Bennington an
Frederick G. Fleetwood of MorIisville
Although the latter has not made
direct appeal to any party it is assume
that he would not be averse to accept
ing the Republican nomination if
should come his way.

GOOD FOOD, NO DRINK HABIT
Duchess Says Cooks Can Do More Than
Lawmakers.

The Duchess of Marlborough in an
address before the pupils of the st.
Pancras School For Mothers, In Lon
don, said she believed a well cooked
meal is more effective means OF stop
ping the drink habit than any amount
of legislation
The incapacity of many women as
cooks and their inability to bring up
children properly, she said. are largely
responsible for unhappy homes. and
she hoped for the spread of the system
of mothers schools for the purpose of
experimenting the primary domestic
teaching of girls in the elementary
schools.

Danville's Good Roads.
(St. Johnsbury Caledonian.)

- Danville, in Caledonia county. has
1875 miles of ighway-more than any
other town in the state. Danville re-
ceives from the highway fund twice
the amount it contributes through the
per cent assessment on the grand
list. We would add that DanvilIc has
some of the best country roads in the
state to show for money it has received
from the state treasury.

''AIl the world loves a lover" has
been said And here and there little
stories come to light which go far
to prove it.
Yesterday attaches of the court of
Municipal Judge Hill in South Chi

wanted to get married and live on
love, very happy. ,-...
Joseph Symkowsh and Stella Do

the end of the court call. They spoke
in Polish. The Judge called an inter-
prefer.
"They want to get married, your
honor" said the interpreter. -
"All right" beamed the judge.
Where's the icense?"
"They haven't got any?" the judge
was told. you see, they're broke. y
Here was problem too big for any
mere judge to solve. Only a woman
could do that And woman did.
Mrs. Lillian Hindman, sup't of the
South Chicago branch of the Court of
Domestic Relations, stepped up. She
looked at the couple. And a queer
look of tender happiness came in her
eyes.
eff they love each other, your hon
or" she said, sit seems to me that it's
up to us to furnish the incidentals."
And everybody contributed some
thing. The couple were married.
Then Mrs. Hindman found them
temporary home.
The new Mrs. Symkowsh and her
husband left bursting with happiness.
And the bailiff couldn't understand
the tears that were in Mrs. Hindman'S

ooh, you tease-I wouldn't kiss
you if you was the last man in the
worldp' breathed Elida furioUsly.
"Say, I'll just catch and stop the
swing next time, and take my pay
highwayman fashion," insisted Dick.
"WiI you! There smarty!"
"Gracious!" gasped Dick, and stood
appalled,. ..-..
Elida had let go of the ropes.
There was fleeing vision OF WaV-
ing hair and flying skirts.
Splash! She went out and down
like an expert diver. Then twenty
feet from shore she landed on the
soft bottom of the stream, waist deep
in the water, but glorious in her wild
hayward beauty, defiant and daring.
ooh, sayw cried the enraptured
Dick, sliding down the bank and max
ing recklessly for the heroic figure in
mid-stream. THAT was grand! Why,
l love you ten times more than ever
for such grit. You're a famous one.
Why, I'd wade through fire to get
you now, and here gOes!"
With a hooking half smile on her
lips Elida stood almost inviting him
on to his fate. He waded ahead, con-
fdently anticipating no trap. Sud
denly those quick hands of the little
sprite went out paddle fashion. Eyes,
mouth, face, he received a deluge Of
water slap-dash; half blinded, utterly
taken off his balance, he noted that
she had sprung at him. With a deft
whirl she sent him off his feet, de-
livering a resOunding box on one ear,
and he went fiat into an aqueous bed,
struggling, spluttering, baffled.
"Goodyw rang out a silvery hail
of lofty disdain and triumph, and
shorewards sped Elida to vanish
among the wildwood verdure before
the discounted Dick could recover
his wits.

that was fairly terrifying.
