this observance as an annual state

wouldn't it?-Rutland News
The defeat of the British in the
Battle Of Bennington was the turn
ing point of the war of the reyolu-
ton. 1t was not only a brilliant milf
tary achievement but it was also the
death blow to the advance of Bur
goyne. Here at Bennington the tide
of English oppression of the Ameri-
can colonies began to recede. II
would almost seem as though the
busy cities of Barre and Rutland
might be willing to pause to common
crate a great day in American his
tory.

Congressman advised was not that
the Vermont papers should cut
down their comment on Vermont
matters in their editorial columns,
but they should maintain this ser,
vice and in addition should also dis
cuss national topics to some extent
A good many Vermont people read
only the local papers and it would aid
them in their understanding of the
great topics OF the day If their home
paper could devote even little space
to the consideration of the great ques
tons of nation wide interest.

The motto of the state of Georgia
is Wisdom, Justice, Moderation

The readiness with which Attorney
General Barber and Sheriff Smith of
Addison county accuse each other of
being responsible for the slowness of
justice indicates that somebody feels
to blame. Time will probably tell
who. The state wants expenses OF
detectives kept down, but still in case
of need would be willing to spend a
few dollars without grumbling.

BE Stopped the Tigers in the Season.

Oftentimes the lads who are boosted
to the skies before the bell need an
obituary notice when the curtain goes
down. But not George Foster! He
tossed the grandest BAH of his career,
and but for his gaudy biceps the Tigers
would have mauled the cultured bos-
tonians into cory mass OF nothins
doing.
That brings US to the world series
and the part our hero played. Doubt
less George called to mind what he did
to San Antonio. and figuring on the
principle that what has been done once
can be accomplished again. he pro-
ceded to sink the barb into Pat Moran's
Phils. His tossing was superb, the
Quakers gathering three miserable hits
personally made the crack that counted
,, Larry Gardner with the winning tally
He came back three days later. and
though not SO brilliant as in the previ-
Gus start. he had enough to hand the
Phillies the hot end Of the poker. 1t

that is just what the Bokoshe boy did.
Maybe his fast ball doesn't have quite
the Johnsonian speed (though it does
perhaps his curve has not quite so
| sharp a break as that of Grover the
Great. but when 1t comes to naming
the three best tossers in the American

is the best you can attribute to Mr.. Bryan
you cannot give him credit for being frank
and honest i'll his note to Mr. Wilson, because
his official career contradicts HIM.
He could not have stood for what was done
at Vera Cruz, and then sign our notes Of Feb
ruary and May, if he was sincere in leay Ing
the Cabinet rather than sign the note sent
Germany last week.
His tenure Of Office as Secretary of State
has proved to the whole world in amazing
manner, just what many who knew Mr.. Bryan
we'll have always predicted would happen if
he were given high public ofice-it has
shown his utter lncapacity to discharge the
duties of high office with any credit, either
to the office or himself.
For Secretary of State to go about the
country lecturing with yodlers as a side at
traction-to write such letters as the one ask
ing for places for good Democrats-to spend
his time hunting Offices for political bench
men, and encroaching on other departments
IN getting his henchmen in office until his
friends would boast that w J. now has men
IN every department-to send such foolish
note to Henry Lane Wilson in Mev;co-to
whitewash such men as our Minister to 5ant0
Domingo, Sullivan-to be away from his
post Of duty at Washington during crisis
In some foreign affair, when he should have
been eagerly watching every move. Is some
thing beyond comprehension and shows that
there is something terribly lacking in the
mans makeup.
The country is to be congratulated on his
quitting his office, for his incompetency,
which made Us the laughing stock of other
nations. was source of embarrassment to us
here at home.
AS Secretary Of State, we cannot afford to
have man without ability beyond that of
the selfish. greedy politician who thinks
more about lining his pocketbook with more
gold than he does about his high duty to his
country in times of stress.
After all is said, the treatment of Presi-
dent Wilson by Mr.. Bryan is case Of reap
ing where We have sown.
Mr.. Bryan went to the Baltimore conven-
ton an instructed Champ Clark delegate, in
honor bound to work for and vote for the
man who, by distinguished long service, had
won the approval of the majority of Demo
Gratis.
BY every rule of honesty and fairness. Mr..
Clark should have had the nomination which
would make him President Of the United
States today, but Mr. Clark did not get the
domination, and it was due to Mr.. Bryan
that he did not get 1t.
BY treaehery to the people of Nebraska,
who had sent Bryan to Baltimore instructed
for Clark, and by treachery to his personal
friend who had been one Of his wheel horses
IT. every Bryan campaign, Mr.. Bryan threw
the nomination to Woodrow Wilson.
Mr.. Bryan stuck the knife in Champ
Clark's back at Baltimore. and President
Wilson rewarded him for his treachery by
making him the highest officer in his Cab
met.
Now Mr.. Wilson is getting what others
who have trusted Mr.. Bryan have gotten
