GODDARD GETS $4,000
Ira @. Calef, Wen known Washington
Philanthropist, Is Again Benefactor
of the Seminary.

Montpelier, Aug. 25.-Announce-
ment was made today of an additional
gift of $500 to Goddard seminary
from Ira C. Calef, the well known
Washington philanthropist, the money
having been conveyed to Harvey E.
Averill, treasurer Of the institution,
through the medium of a letter re-
ceived Thursday afternoon. The gift
makes a total of $4,000 donated by
Mr.. Calef to the seminary since June
L and trustees of the school were reck-
oning today that the institution has
benefited by Mr.. Calef's magnanimity
to the extent of 100000 since he be-
came a member of the board of trus-
tees in 1874. Accounted in dollars,
Goddard's good fortune rounds out an
even $4,000 which Vermont institu-
tons have received from Mr. Calef
since the beginning of the year, hos
pitfalls in Barre, Montpelier and Bur-
lington having received 100000 from
him within a few months.
The sum of $4,000 of Mr.. Calef's
latest gift to the seminary is to be
added to the permanent fund, the in
come to be used yearly as the trus-
tees may decide. The balance, $1O,-
600, creates the Calef state fund, the
interest of which is to be applied year
ly to pay buttons and all expenses,
except board and washing, of students
residing in the state of Vermont.

l. Vermont Honor for Sale?

The Enosburg Standard has spoken
so well concerning the candidacy OF
Allen M. Fletcher for the United
States senatorship that we reproduce
il for Caledonian readers. 1t says in
part:
One has to go back to the time when
the millionaire Addicks was carrying
on his money campaign for the posi-
ton of senator in the state Of Della
ware to find parallel for the present
Fletcher campaign in Vermont.
Were it not for his money Allen M.
Fletcher would not be thought of for
a moment for United States senator.
An Indiana millionaire, with an Office
in Wall Street and no interest in Yer
mont save that of an Office seeker and
holder, Mr.. Fletcher presents no
claims other than those attached to
the possession of a fat pocket-book
for the consideration of Vermont
voters.
He has never been identified with
anything connected with the upbuild-
ing of Vermont, and during the years
that he has persistently sought and
held office in the state, there is to be
found nothing of a constructive char
acter, nothing but what stamps him
as a stand-patter and side-stepper,
and alien TO Vermont life, ideals and
traditions.
Two years ago when Senator Dill
lingham's return to the Senate was
contested, the contestant, Mr.. Prouty,
was a man whose claim to recognition
was based upon a career of great and
notable service to the nation and who
measured up in every way to Yer
mont ideals and traditions. In that,
as in all preceding senatorial cam
paigns, money or the power of wealth
had no part in the contest or in de-
termining the result thereof. 1t has
remained for Millionaire Fletcher to
project this element into Vermont
senatorial contests, and with that
alone as the basis for any claim to
consideration by Vermont voters.
Delaware. to her everlasting credit,
rejected Addicks and his money bags
Will Vermont be true to her past and
maintain her unsullied reputation, by
rejecting Millionaire Fletcher?
We admit with shame that Yer
mont in the past has given the gov
ernorship to men who spent money
most lavishly but it never got a gov
ernor in that way who added any real
credit to the reputation Of the state.
1t is now witnessing a battle of dol
lars for the United States senatorship.
Sen. Page, who has given eight years
service as a senator, is absent from
the halls Of congress and giving direc-
tions to large force of paid en-
ployes in trying to convince the
people that he should be returned for
another term of six years, while the
tactics of Mr.. Fletcher have been
we'll described above. But Vermont
has more than a battle of dollars. 1t
has a man who has consented to be-
come a candidate for this high honor
in response to the demand of a large
number of people who are opposed
to the dollar tactics of Messrs. Page
and Fletcher. That man is Charles
w. Gates, and his nomination for the
senatorship would be victory for
manhood and a just rebuke to those
who buy political honors away from
self-respecting Vermonters.

The Farm Loan Act.

The hearings on the new Farm Loan
Act held in New England have
brought out evidence that tends to
confirm the belief that the measure
will be of little benefit to the farmers
of this section. At the hearing held
Vermont representative was present
which shows the farmers of this state
do not look upon it as a measure that
will be of use to them. OF this
measure Sec. McAdoo says:
Under the new system the farmer
ought to be able to pay the interest
on his mortgage and the principal of
his debt through annual instalments
which will be less than the straight
interest charges he has been paying
on his mortgage under the old system.
The establishment of this rural credits
system means not only more profit
able farming. but a life of greater
comfort and prosperity for the farm
err; it means destruction of the night
mare of foreclosure and loss of prop
erty for the farmer; it means security
and independence, thrift and self-re-
spect for the farmer.
notwithstanding this rosy state
ment by the secretary of the treasury
it was brought out at the hearing that
the average rate of interest on farm
loans in New Hampshire is So per
cent and the rate of interest fixed by
the Farm Loan Act is 6 per cent
We do not know the average rate of
interest on farm loans in Vermont,
but should be surprised if it was high
er than in New Hampshire. So we
do not believe it will be possible for
farmers in this section to save enough
on interest to pay of the principal of
their loans.
One interesting feature of the act
was brought out at the Concord hear
ing by Harry III. Dudley, cashier OF
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1916-08-30

years. He was a member of Green

Whenever one can get in touch with
the average voter he find the pre-
dictions of politicians of a walkover fol
Sen. Page are not founded upon fact
The fact that Messrs. Page and
Fletcher are accusing each other of
being or having been tax dodgers and
neither has disprOven the accusation
is having its effect with the real es-
tate owners of the state who pay
taxes on their property whether they
are in debt or not. Encouraging re-
ports of Gov. Gates strength are be-
ing received daily. His whole record
shows that he has done what he be-
lieved to be right and that evasion of
taxes has not been considered right
by him.

the Mechanics National Bank of Con-
cord, who asked:
How long would il take John Jones
to borrow $500 under the provisions
of this act?"
Secretary McAdoo said he was not
able to say. In the beginning it
would be necessary TO form a loan as
ISOLATION and it might take time to
find other borrowers who were willing
to join him in forming an association.
We may be pessimistic. but we can
not help fearing that the Farm Loan
Act will prove to be a measure that
will take money from New England
to invest in the South and West in
mortgages that banks will not accept
on account of their insecurity. 1t
may be another case of send eastern
money outside for lot more of
worthless western mortgages. Mil
lions of New England money have
been lost in these western schemes
and New Englanders will do well to
be cautious about sending more money
after that already lost.

The American Industries says that
since 1909 the city of Brockton,
Mass, has lost two-ffths of it's shoe
manufactures at an annual wage loss
of $13, 100000. The Brockton Search
light comes out boldly and says the
boot and shoe industry there is being
strangled by the Boot and Shoe
Workers Union. 1t says:
Not only has Brockton's industrial
disease been acknowledged by the
great mass of the people but 95 per
cent of the shoe workers of this city,
if given the protection Of an abso-
lutely secret ballot, will give it as
their opinion that the policy Of their
own union is to blame for Brockton's
industrial decay"
This reads as though the business
had been overloaded to the killing
point and workers in other sections
should heed the lesson of Brockton.

AUTOMOBILE COLLISION
Machines of Flo Lang and Nj. w.
Kelly Crash ON Railroad Street.

An automobile collision, which ter
minated in a wordy argument between
the drivers of the colliding machines,
occurred at the corner of Railroad
and Portland street, Friday afternoon,
when M. w. Kelley, driving a road
ster up Railroad street ran into the
touring car owned and driven by Flo
Lang eff Lyndonville as he was about
to make the turn onto Portland street.
Some of the spectators seemed to
think Kelley was to blame as he was
said to have been looking away just
before the bump came.
The occupants of the machine were
uninjured but the cars sustained dam
ages. The right front axle of the
Lang car was badly twisted and the
front of the frame bent, besides dam
age done to one light, the tenders and
bumper. Other than a damned fend-
er, bent bumper and scratched paint
on the Kelley machine, the front
wheels were thrown some inches out
of line. Each party placed the blame

Vermont has performed it's duty to
its militiamen who have gone into the
national service in very generous and
creditable manner. The compensa-
ton provided by the special session
of the legislature is liberal and should
be adequate for all cases. The thing
now to do is to have the national gov
eminent provide suitable compensa-
ton to its soldiers and relieve the
states of the necessity of assisting in
supporting the national army.
