ANCESTRAL HONOR.

Sons, whose heroic fathers
have early left you, and in the
conflict Of the war have mixed
with departed heroes, be con-
graduated on the fair inheri-
lance Of fame which you are en-
titled to possess. If it is at all
lawful to array ourselves in Dor
rowed honor, surely it is best
drawn from those who have act
ed a distinguished part in the
service of their country. II il Is
at all consistent with the feelings
of philosophy and reason to
boast Of lineal glory, surely it is
most allowable in those who
boast of it as flowing from such
a source. We despise the unin-
structed mind of that man who
shall obtrude upon our ears the
ideas of a vain ancestral honor,
but we love the youth and trans
fer to him the reputation of his
father, who, when the rich and
naughty citizen shall frown upon
him as ignobly descended, shall
say, 81 had a father who has
fallen in the service of his cOun-
try."-Hugh FL. Breckenridge in
Fourth of July Grafton at Phil
adelphia. 1779.

The European conflict has been going
on for two years now with little pros
pect of an immediate cessation of
fighting. Prophets said at the out
break the struggle would not last
long with all the modern means Of
fighting. It couldn't The war would
be fierce but short. Which shows how
little we knew about it. How much
more do we know about the situation
now when we say that the apparent
supreme struggle going on now is the
beginning of the end.

Irasburg. Vermont, July 18th, 1916.
Editor of the Monitor,
Barton, Vermont.
Dear Sir:
If take the liberty of answering !
the letter in your last issue, July oath,
of the Monitor, which bears the head |
ing, 'Nelson Bartlett Williams of
Craftsbury for Senator" and which |
purports to set forth reasons why
George Russell should not receive the
nomination and why Mr.. Williams
should, it is because that letter assumes
to refute reasons. which a former
article by myself, advanced for the
nomination and election of George w.
Russell as senator from the south end.
take no issue with Mr.. Williams or
his constituents. have frankly stated
that Mr. Russell's campaign would be
| that it would be conducted on the
merits of the man himself and not the
| dement's of other candidates, but
still maintain that Mr.. Russell is the
logical nominee.
! We are sending men, not towns, to
the Vermont Legislature and if it be
| fact that We have produced other men
in time past, who have been honored as
county senators, then this rebounds to
our credit and to the credit of Ira
Aliens town. We have been fortunate
in producing men whom the state has
delighted to honor and that fact has
made us proud without making US
egotistical. At this time we are just
as proud Of being able to offer man
like George Russell for senatorial
honors as we expect Craftsbury was in
1882 when they presented Amory
Dawson
In my esteemed contemporary S
letter there is some subtle argument in
the declaration that Mr.. Williams is a
farmer, "but that should not discredit
. him." Emphatically it should not, but
; neither does the fact that Mr.. Williams
, is farmer, or Mr.. Russell a merchant
help either man to be senatorial tim
] Der. 1t is getting to a time when
localities and professions are being
, shelved, as they should be shelved, in
favor of picking out the best men and
t by that we mean the best qualified men

Senator Carroll S. Page deliver
ed a speech in the United States
Senate on Monday, July n, 1916.
A Vermonter present, writing home his
impressions of the speech, says
'Amidst an atmosphere of serenity and calm
not unlike the peace that hovers over the
Bull Run schoolhouse in vacation time, Mr. Page
of Vermont today (July "a, 1916) delivered his
address on vocational educational training. I en-
phasize the peace and quiet of the occasion. No
one was present. This is not quite literally true
But as went into the Capitol this morning one of
my friends said: Your favorite statesman is speak
ing
"He began speaking at 10 o'clock. I went
into the Senate at lO:4O. This was the situation
then: found the press gallery altogether empty.
"Six senators besides the distinguished
speaker were present.
"Of these five busy studying bills and
papers in preparation for the days work. The
other not engaged with papers of any sort, sat
quietly in his seat-asleep I think Mr.. Page
droned away in monotone Nobody could hear
him and the attendance showed quite clearly that
nobody wanted to. I must add that as I left the
gallery, saw Senator billing ham enter the cham
Der, fortified with palm leaf fan.
"'It struck that it did not require political
or moral courage to deliver speech vocational
education at this time. [ am sure that it will not
require self sacrifice large expenditure Mr.
Pages part to have the speech printed and widely
distributed. venture guess that his constituents
are far interested in his vote rural credits
Mr.. Page fathered a vocational training bill in
the Senate. Mr.. Lever favored bill on the same
subject in the House. The Lever bill is given
credit of being by far better measure. The
House passed it. Senator Hoke Smith, giant
physically and mentally power in the Senate,
practically took the Lever bill, his effort
causing the Page bill to fall in the discard
The Vermonter in Washington who heard
Senator Pages speech writes further on the situa-
ton. He says that the Hoke Smith vocational edu-
cational bill is the senate calendar, but that it
will not be acted on this session.
Why. then, a speech on the bill by Senator
Page at this time for any other than for
distribution to the voters Of Vermont for cam
paign purposes?
Thousands of people in Vermont desire to
know what Senator Page has stood for and what
he has created in the way of progressive con-
structive legislation the eight years he has been
a senator.
