A POET OF THE PEOPLE.
Bennington Banner.

-~~--~-T
James Whitcomb Riley last week
celebrated his sixtysecond birthday
and it was made the occasion of a
touching demonstration of love and
esteem. James Whitcomb Riley will
probably never be rated as one of the
great poets of the English speaking
world, but he has inspired many heart
with his clean and touching humor,
sentiment and philosophy. One of his
best known poems and one that appeals
to every country bred peis is the fol-
lowing:
When the frost is on the punkin
and the folders in the shock
And you hear the kyouck and gobble
of the struttin' turkey cock,
And the cacklin' of the guineas
and the cluckin' of the hens
And the ROSTERS hallelooyer as he
tiptoes on the fence
Oh, it's then's the time a Teller is q
feelin' at his best
With the risin' sun to greet him from
night of gracious rest
AS he leaves the house bareheadec
and goes out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkir
and the folders in the shock.

A PRACTICAL FARMER.
Brattleboro Reformer.

Lee K. Osgood of Rutland town, who
has raised $500 bushels of potatoes
this season, is firm believer in scien-
tific methods of farming, and has con-
Quoted his work along lines recon-
mended by the department of agricul-
ture. To this fact and to the use of a
government spraying formula in par
ticular he attributes his unusual sue
cess with potatoes at time when the
crop was more or less of a failure in
many localities in Vermont. Mr.. Os-
good is not only harvesting a bumper
crop, but he will get fancy price for
his tubers, as large sales have been
made to southern farmers who will use
the Vermont potatoes for seed. The
hit-or-miss methods in raising crops are
rapidly going into the discard. The man
who is to get profitable results must
use his brains, just as Mr.. Osgood has
done,

SCHOOLS AS CLUB HOUSES.


We heartily endorse the movement
to promote the use of public schools
as community centers, now being
urged by Miss Margaret Wilson,
daughter of President Wilson. Miss
Wilson believes that school buildings
should be "all year round club houses
for the whole people" There are
many hours each week when school
buildings are not in use for school
purposes and could better than not be
utilized for community purposes
Better than not, because such use
would undoubtedly quicken interest in
the school, connect school and civic
life and create better citizens. This
would hold good whether applied to
remote rural school, village or city
building. The idea that school and

THE TELEPHONE AND FIRES.
Brattleboro Reformer,

The telephone not only keeps people
on the farms in touch with important
happenings in towns where the central
stations. are located, but it is of value
as an insurance feature. Almost every
week we read in Vermont and New
Hampshire papers about help being
summoned when fires have broken out
in farm buildings, and frequently the
assistance arrives in time to be an i'm
portant factor in subduing the flames
which might have produced disasterous
results had the people on the farm been
dependent upon their own resources, as
in the olden days.

Brattleboro Reformer.

The late William A. Lawrence of
Bristol was a man who had the inter-
ests of his home community at heart.
During his lifetime he gave to Bristol
the Lawrence Memorial library. His
will leaves to that institution an ad-
joining property, and the rent from four
single houses and one double tenement
house and shop will go long way
toward the support of the library. To
the Masonic lodge he leaves $4,000, to
the Odd Fellows SO, 600, to the Cemetery
association 50, 1000, and to churches of
the town 81, 600 each Distribution of
funds in this way will be very helpful to
the town in which Mr.. Lawrence was
an honored citizen.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY
PREVAIL IN VERMONT?
Windsor journal.


Many are looking forward to the
annual March meeting in 1916 when
they can vote for or against the direct
primary system of obtaining candidates
for office. We trust that every person
who has a vote will be present upon
that day and say whether he wants
such a system or not.
The caucus system of obtaining can
didates is not great success, for the
reason that but small part of the
electorate attend it, Only the politically
active are present at caucuses and in
some instances there is no such thing
as a caucus, but instead it amounts 10
little else than a ratification meeting.
Whether we will obtain better gov
eminent in Vermont by instituting the
direct primary remains to be seen.
Prophecies are foolish in this respect.
But if the direct primary can once be
put into operation in Vermont and con-
Quoted according to statue, we believe
it will wake up the people into a more
loyal appreciation of their right of
suffrage.
The old caucus system has failed to
increase the number of its attendants.
AS applied in other States the dire ct
primary has steadily increased the num-
Der who attended the primaries. The
more people you get out to attend a
meeting of political character the
nearer you are to that long looked for
age which Henry Ward Beecher used to
call 1.-The Reign of the Common
People,
The safest form of government is
one where the rank and file are not
too far removed from the governing
classes, where the possibility of de-
bauchng the electorate is removed to
the lowest possible point.
The caucus system in Vermont has
never expressed the will of the people
in many ways. Without going too much
into detail we will refer for an example
to the conventions that have been held
in years past at Burlington or Mont
pelier for the purpose of choosing can
didates for governor. If all the tricks
that have been practiced at these con-
ventions were written up, there are
many names which are doubtless held
today in great respect that would sud-
denly drop greatly in public estimation.
Why per cent of the people of Yer
mont care to continue system that is
so productive of deception as the con-
vention system is, we fail to see. Those
who favor continuance of caucuses
have had a long time to test their
practicability as an honest way of find
ing candidates. When they know it is a
failure, for what reason do they desire
its continuance? Thus far the supporters
of the caucus system have used fol
their chief argument against its abolition
that Vermont, with its small popula
ton, does not need more direct ex'
preston by the voters.

Burlington Merchants Week from
October % to 80. The merchants of
that city get together and will pay the
round trip car fares of all people who
visit Burlington next week and trade
at least $25 90 at the stores. The trad
ing can be done at different stores but
car fares will be paid only up to limit
of 100 miles. This event is made to get
the people of Vermont better acquainted
with Burlington and show the advantage

SUNDAY CLOSING IN CHICAGO
Brattleboro Reformer.

Closing the saloons on Sunday had a
wonderfully salutary effect in Chicago.
Less than dozen arrests for drunken
ness took place in a population of
$500, 900. There was also marked de-
crease in crime and accidents, and no
homicides or suicides were reported to
the police. Thousands of people went
to the parks and the ball games, and
the attendance was far above the
normal figures at churches, libraries,
museums, art galleries and theatres.

ACCIDENTS IN HUNTING.

companions body, having mistaken him
for deer. The same day two hunters
were stalking deer from opposite
sides, and the bullet from one hunters
gun penetrated the body of a deer and
then struck the other hunter in the
heart. Before long Vermont will be
facing the possibility of having "acci-
dents" just like New Jerseys There

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
OF the human body.
In perfect health we hardy realize that
we have a network of nerves, but wheu
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Hmul-
sion Is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

(Continued from Page One) the nervousness which characterized him when he arrived at the jail Fri day night. On that evening his nerves were badly shattered but he said this morning that he felt better than he had in two months His appearance was changed con siderably, too, by reason of the shave which deprived him of his beard and mustache. A stranger who saw him Friday night with the flowing facial adornments would hardly recognize him today. l Since he has been in jail King has had several talks with his counsel, Attorney Gray. Mrs. King saw her husband yesterday for the first time since he surrendered himself. They had long talk, during which Mrs. King bore up very bravely.
 All efforts so far to induce the law yer to discuss his involved financial affairs have failed. He declares he will make no statement along those lines until he goes before the crim- ina1 superior court in Decen Der. If tends at present toL do, he will prob ably ask for 1enieAcy in order that he may have opportunity to rein burse those who have lost money by his Wrongdoing.
 Attorney Charles S. Canfieli, member of the grievance committee of the Fairfield County Bar, stated to- day that the petition brought in the civil superior court calling upon King to appear and show cause why he should not be disbarred, is a pre- ferred case upon the present docket It will be reached as soon as the pend- ing suits have been heard.
 Judge William Fl. Williams will preside at the December. term of the criminal superior court in which trl. bunal King expects to plead.
