MINISTER'S IN POLITICS.
Springfield Reporter.

ElIllkINlu iNNbSiNN's
The Reporter has already commented
upon the wise action of the Democrats
of Bethel, who have again selected the
Rev. j. Wesley Miller, pastor of the
Methodist church at that place, as their
candidate for town representative. Mr.,
Miller has already been four successive
times elected to the House by his Bethel
constituents, and will doubtless be tri-
umphantly returned to serve his fifth
term, at which time he will be one of
the foremost men in the General AS
sembly.
Now comes the news that the Repub-
leans of Randolph have selected as
their candidate for town representative
the erstwhie militant Progressive, the
Rev. Fraser Metzger, pastor of the
Congregational church of that place.
For two successive terms the Demo
Gratis of Plainfeld sent to the House
the Rev. Arthur w. Hewitt, pastor Of
the Methodist church of that town.
Mr.. Hewitt is a striking and original
figure, and genius of no mean order.
In his first term at Montpelier his elo-
quence and sagacity made him marked
man; and, in his work as chairman of
the committee on education during his
second term, he put through the present
educational bill, making, in its advocacy,
a speech which won the highest encom-
iums from President Thomas of Middle
bury, and other good judges. Other
utterances of his commanded universal
respect, and his advocacy was sought
by those having important measures in
charge, while his inimitable wit made
him an indispensable figure at all gala
occasions. Since then his services have
been in great demand for occasional
addresses, and his membership on the
State Board of Education have given
him increased prominence in educational
circles.
Realizing this the Democrats of
Washington county have made him
their leading candidate for county sena-
tor, and the Prohibitionists of the State
endorsed that candidacy at their con-
vention at Montpelier last week.
Whether or not Mr.. Hewitt will win
out in a strong Republican county re-
mains to be seen, but he was born and
bred in Berlin, and is graduate of
Montpelier seminary, and is more gen.
orally known than the other candidates,
and so apparently stands something of
chance to be promoted to the upper
house this winter. Quiet, modest,
unassuming, the opposite of self-asser-
tive and self-seeking he continually
makes friends, and demonstrates a
sterlinglworth that may overcome his
political handicap and make him a
winner.

VERMONT TEACHERS.

About one third of the teachers of
Vermont attended at least three weeks
of summer school, This is record
that has not been approached by any
other state in the Union. The attend
ance was not limited to the institutions
in our own state. There were Vermont
teachers at George Washington Uni
versity, Washington, Columbia Uni
versity. University Of New York, Sim
mons College, Harvard University and
Dartmouth College. According to the
new regulation towns will receive state
aid according to the kind of certificate
held by the teachers in their rural
schools, four dollars a week being al
lowed for the life certificate, three
dollars for the qualification certificate
and two dollars for the probationary
certificate. The state will give trained
teachers rebates only to towns which
employ teachers holding one Of the
new certificates.

deed it Is to be seriously questioned as
to whether this man should be permitted
in the future to handle an automobile,
for he seems to be of the type of drivers
that are constant menace to those

the great multiplication of automobiles
the State cannot afford to permit any
incompetent, or reckless, or drunken
persons the right to drive, Greater
safeguards must be provided by reason
of the greater number and the greater
speed capabilities of cars,

A FARMERS RHYME,
FAREWELL TO SUMNER.

FAREWELL TO SUMMER
Again the summer months have passed,
And longer shadows now are cast;
Meantime we hear the cricket cry
"The summer days have all gone BY
We loved you, Summer, full of Joys
And sportive like young girls and boys,
And always in Happy mood
While storing up our winters food.
Though some prefer the longer nights,
And utilize electric lights
However that may chance to be,
The summer sun is best for me.
Who can forget the summer day,
Its waving grain and wealth of hay
Its early sunrise, morning dew
With charming sweetness ever new!
The SPIDERS web spun on the grass,
So strangely like looking'glass,
Most beautiful, adorned with dew,
And every morning formed anew
The wasps and bees and butterflies,
And Myriad insects in the skies.
All have a place by nature given,
To spend with US their summer heaven
The ant is happy in its way.
The robin sings at dawn of day,
And frogs sing out their pure delight,
When come the shades of somber night.
Dear summer-t time, no one can tell
Of all the charms that in thee dwell:
And now you're gone, we sadly miss
Thy peaceful charms and joyous bliss.
1t chills the tendrills round the heart
To say farewell, and thus to part;
And yet, in hope, we can but smile,
To think Wen part but for while.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS.

The State Board of Education have
employed Mr.. Clyde M. Hill of Spring
field, Mo-, as supervisor of junior high
schools. Mr.. Hill has had several years
of experience in conducting junior
high school and has spent two years in
graduate study specializing on the sub
ject. He is considered one of the best
qualified men IN the country for the
supervision of this line of work. Mr..
Hill will visit each of the schools for a
day or two at the beginning of this
term and will then return for more
extended visit later. He will visit the
schools in the capacity of an advisor
and helper rather than as an inspector.
Those who are competent to judge say
that Vermont is in the lead in the estab-
lishment of junior high schools and
plans for them. 1t is the desire of the
State Board to make success of these
schools in order that the experience
gained during this year may be of
assistance to those who desire to estab-
fish similar schools later.

THE ATHLETIC YOUTH.
Rutland News.

To the typical boy, the prominent
figures of the base ball diamond are his
greatest heroes. He would rather play
in a worlds series than sit in congress.
And the money end of it isvery dazzling
Every school ball nine is full of young
fellows who cherish the thought of
eventually playing with some league
team. And when the contests in both
of the big leagues are so close as they
are today with the end of the season so
near, hundreds of thousands of worth

ecstatic dreams of pitching this nine or

WELCOME FOR lsT VERMONT.
Brattleboro Phoenix.

Bfatueboro fhoenlN'
We shall all give the glad hand to
the boys of the First Vermont regiment,
who are now returning from the Next
can border, after nearly three months
of strenuous training under trying con-
ditions. 1t speaks well for the change
in sanitation since 1898 that nearly all
of the boys at Eagle Pass have remained
in good health and that no serious cpl
denies have swept through their ranks,
when we remember the large death rate
and the physical wrecks from typhoid,
malaria and other diseases among our
poorly equipped and poorly fed volun-
teers who answered the call in the
Spanish-American war. The call to the
border this year may be only an incl
dent in history-we hope so. But let
it be remembered that it found the
First Vermont regiment ready, and that
it was one Of the first organizations
among all the national guard of the
country to start southwark. And while
these boys who are now returning did
not face death and privations on for
eign soil, give them due credit that they
had the spirit and the will and were
ready to do so if their country demand
ed the sacrifice. We shall be glad to
have our boys of 1916 safely back home,
but let US give them due honor for
what they dared and were willing to dc
when they went forward to face what
appeared to them unknown perils and
dangers.

Burlington News.

Twas not in Burlington, but just the
same the party was of the ultra,
awfully ultra" variety. One man,
however, was extremely bored. The
hostess, observing this, went up to him
and engaged him in conversation. She
talked automobiles. He had heard of
Fords, that was all. She talked
theatre; his mind was a blank. She
then talked literature. At first he
knew nothing. He had never heard of
Huckleberry Finn. "But perhaps,
said the hostess, you have read 'Pud-
denhead Wilson,"
His face frightened, Eyes" he said,

FARM BUILDINGS BURNED.

A large barn, granary and other
buildings on the farm of Emil Kendall
near South Franklin were destroyed by
fire, which was discovered about 1870
o o'clock Sunday afternoon in the barn.
The fire, which originated in an unused
part of the barn, had made such head
when discovered by Mr.. Kendall 8
nephew, Milo Morris, that efforts to ex-
tinguish it had little effect, and the
family directed most of their efforts to
saving the house, which was in danger
from flying sparks. A large quantity
of hay, which was in the barn was
destroyed, but all of the stock was
saved. The loss is estimated at $1,000,
which is partially covered by insurance
