The Vermont Legislature is often
looked upon as II steppng-stone TO

reason. it is often utilized by tho ambi-
tious for the purpose of putting them
selves prominently before the public. It
is true, too, that many n man In Ver-
mont has been raised to rather high
official position who otherwise would
have remained In the comparative OBJ
security Of private life although perhaps
he might be as capable as the average
man chosen for the position Most OF
the advances are along the line of poll

member goes out from tie halls of legls-
lation 10 a good position in business life,
as has happened in the case OF Repre-
sentative Charles f. Black of Burling-

torney for the Central Vermont Railway
company, to succeed G W. Writer'S. Mr..
Black is that type Of young lawyer. the

for honest, ambitious and discerning
representatives of the legal profession;

that total Is small as compared with the
whole number now to be found through

WHAT OUR NElGHBORS SAY.
WORKING ONES WAY THROUGH
COLLEGE.
(From the Rutland News1

Although the expenses of sending a
boy OF girl through college are steadily
increasing. yet the number who work
their own way through seems to be
gaining as fast or faster,
IL Is one OF the fine things about COL
leSe life, that students who are work =
Ing their own way seem to stand we'll
socially. They may not get as many in
vitations, simply because they are carry
ing papers or driving grocery wagons at
times when their classmates are hang
Ing around the society rooms making
friends, But no stigma attaches to
work. Social lines may divide their pa
rents in their home town. But young
people are more generous than grown
lines OF distinction.
Young people who work their own
way get quite as much out of college as
anyoMe else They may not acquire
quite as much of the social polish that
comes from tea-tables and chapter
houses, but they are living life of
earnest effort, which always brings re-
ward.
The average college boy. financed by a
generous father can hardly be said to
Lead a life of earnest effort, lie drills
along In the regular ose-step and can
pass his marks without any strenuous

NEWSPAPER ERRORS AND HOW
TllEN OCCUR.
Grom the Rutland News,


Tn" capacity Of some people for detect
Ing errors in the newspapers is marvel
GUS Also il is singular how many mex
pected meanings these people can find.
II the reporter writes that man wore
a coat of such and such a character.
some one may call M and ask if the coat
was all the man had on" To satisfy
these literatlsts You must onumerate
item by item the other articles of attire.
or they Will accuse you of making the
victim appear half naked
The reader who digests his paDar in
the quiet of his home feels that he has
shown great hrilliancy If he detects an
error in grammar or capitalization. II Is
one thing to find mistakes at your leisure
In another mans work, quite another to
turn out high degree Of accuracy and
precision in the haste of newspaper com
position.
The banker makes blunders in his
figures. the lawyer draws up incorrect
papers, and the business man submits
erroneous bills. Such blunders are known
only to the few persons whom they con-
Germ. The newspaper man is like the
actor on the stage. whose slightest slip
Is manifest to all and seems ridiculous.
1t would be perfectly possible to pro-
duce newspaper having the same high
degree of accuracy as the best edited
magazine. But this would either cost
about twice much for a more costly
force, or else the scope and field of the
newspaper would have to he reduced and
less matter printed. The public would
not pay the bills in the first case. and it
would not be satisfied with curtailment
of service. So the newspapers struggle
along as best they can in their eternal
effort TO accomplish that imposslhility, n
snap shot Of daily life that shall be per-
manent and absolutely truthful history.
The newspaper man is not offended
when he is jollied on such mistakes as
creep in. He merely wishes the critics
could have his job about one week.
