Old Walt Bigelow of the st. Johnsbury
Caledonian, who stumped the state in the
of the Republican party, has
come to the conclusion that people do not
attend politial rallies to the extent they
once did We know this is Waits opin-
ion because his paper says so this week
edtorially. He is willing to admit that
the presence of so many influential men
on the stump" walt was always a mod
est cuss) develops beneficial enthusiasm,
but nevertheless he is inclined to the opin-
ion that folks are influenced more by
what they read than by what they hear,
and concludes that Vermont editors better
spend the next Is months studying with
view to giving their readers a high
grade of dope during the next campaign
Walt is right A newspaper man has no
business in politics. whether it is running
for office or spellbinding.

policies The Times says: "The Presi-
dents assurance that legislation for the
control and hampering of business was
over and done with came too late. The
nmistakable signs that the country no
longer took delight in heckling the cor
porations have long been visible. The
trades commission act and the act intend
ed to supplement the Sherman law Were
superfiuous; they were looked upon by the
country as new menace. They were ac-
cepted as evidence that the Democratic
party was still looking backward"

The Old Hens
Dilemma

In the old days-before Crosby's Fill
the Basket Egg Mash had been in
troduced TO the hens and pullets on a
certain farm-things had been going
on pretty easy in the hennery.
One old hen who had been used to hav-
ing pretty much her own way about
laying and setting had led a particu-
larly soft life. She laid eggs (some-
times) until she felt like setting, and
then she would just "set, and no
amount of coaxing or dousing in the
rain-barrel would make her lay
Not so now, confided she to a little
new pullet; every time L think I will
set I lay an egg. notice all you young
birds are laying pretty regularly of
late too 1 think it must be that new
Crosby's Egg Mash; the name looks
suspicious to me- 1 suppose III lay
eggs now as long as I live = which
means my health will be properly main

Hunting in Connecticut.
Bristol Press.

Twenty-six thousand and three
hundred hunters roaming about Con-
necticut, armed with pump guns, and
invading posted as well as open ter
ritory, is a pretty fair imitation of an
European war zone. The little birds
and innocent animals are by no means
the only sufferers. The things that
have been shot so full of holes that
they are more tattered than a Belgian
banner are our ridiculous game laws
and grotesquely absurd ''Game and
Fish Commissions. What a subject

warden is almost as useful and ener
getic as a searecrow in a deserted

The MeddLer
~ the coat fits you, put Il on"

Now, when the recollection of
Tuesday night s narrow escape from
a disastrous confagration is fresh in
the public mind is the time for the
village of Brattleboro to take steps
that will prevent the erection of fire
hazards in the business sections. An
adequate building code is needed no
more just at this time than it has been
for several years, but popular appre
citation of the fact ought to be sharp
ened by the recent demonstration Of
what is likely to happen when wooden
frame buildings set closely together
start burning. The Meddler will not
say that the code that the village re
Gently rejected is the one to put in
| force; no doubt there are notifications
| in that document that can be made
| without lowering its value to a com
munity of this size. Something, how
ever, should be done in this direction
and done forthwith So far as can be
| determined the authority of the local
| building inspector at present amounts
to so little that the job is hardly
worth keeping established, What that
official should be given is indisputablt
power TO enforce sensible regulation,
regarding the construction of danger
Gus structures, and this authority
should be issued before a start is made
toward the rebuilding of that portion
of Flat street that suffered from tn,
fire of Tuesday night

In emergencies which are not pro-
ephone operators, the average operator
seems about as much good as a phon-
ograph. Business men who were anx-
ious to find out where Tuesday night )
fire was could get no information from
Central except that it was Box Sc,
Main street, near the bridge. Most
people could not get Central at all,
which is not surprising when the fact
is taken into account that practically
| everyone who had telephone wanted
| to get Central at the same moment 1t
seems no more than reasonable, how
ever, to expect an intelligent answer
| from Central under such circum-
stances, if any subscriber is fortunate
/ Cor Unfortunate enough to get any re
from the business section, any man
who has property in that section wants
! to know just where the fire is; he pays
| his $25 a year, more or less, to the
/ telephone company Tor niue service
which would be very acceptable. 1t is
barely possible that the operator may
not have the information desired, ever
though the fire is right across the
street from the central office, but i
this is the case, rules ought to be sus
pended long enough to allow an answe
that would be more than a parrot-lik

in highway construction, and with
view to determining the relative costs
of hauling material by team and by
motor vehicle they recently hired
one-ton truck and put it to work on
job where several horse-drawn vehicles
were being used. Their figures show
that four teams drew in a given time
slightly over 146 cubic yards of ma
terial at a cost to the town of 6S )
cents a yard while the truck in the
same period drew 133 Is yards at a
cost of SD cents a yard. The haul
in this particular ease was about d
half mile over q rough road through
woods and pasture. With a three ton
truck the selectmen believe it would
be possible to reduce the cost of haul
ing to less than 81 cents a yard. The
| selectmen also have been experiment
! ing with the use of split-log drag at
| tached to an auto-truck and have
| found that the device can be drawn
ever a highway at speed of from IC
| to Il miles an hour, apparently doing
better work than when drawn by
horses at about one-third the speed
| Hence they think il would be possible
to make use of truck to great al
