CURRENT COMMENT
The Senatorial Result.

The people OF Vermont have spoken b,
direct primary and Sen. e. S. Page hai
been indicated in their verdict The re
suit shows that the man with money hal
the same advantage in direct appeal tc
the people that he did under the ole
methods. We congratulate Sen. Page OF
his victory because he has met the most
bitter charges made against a Vermonter
in recent years and the people have voted
him not guilty.
Gov. C. w. Gates did not win the nom
nation but has lost nothing in the es'
TEEN of the people. He did not fight for
the nomination. He simply stood for the
better things in politics and has commit,
ted no an that will cause him regret.
His friends have the satisfaction of hav-
ing voted for honesty in politics and are
not ashamed of their action. The gov
ernor will continue to serve the people
faithfully until the end of his term and
return TO private life with the full re-
spect and confidence OF all the people.
As for ex-Gov. Fletcher the result
shows that the people did not take him
at his own estimate of himself.
We congratulate the winners in the
other contests. There was little to
choose between the candidates and the
state was sure of a good man in case
either candidate won. Vermont is as
sured of good working administration
for the next two years. Headed by Hor'
ace f. Graham for governor and with the
denomination of so many of the state
officers the state can look forward to
practical administration of its affairs

SEE THAT THE CHILDREN ARE
WE'LL BEFORE SENDING THEM
TO SCHOOL.

The prospective opening of the city
schools in Barre next Tuesday calls at
tention to reasonable course of action
on the part of the parents or those in
charge of children, which is, that if chill.
dren are ailing in any way it would be
the part of wisdom to keep them away
from school until such time as they are
well or their physical condition can be
definitely determined by competent med
ical authority. There is little disease of
the contagious order in Barre at the
present time, and it should be the aim Of
everyone to keep such disease at the min
imum. Children who happen to be sick
at the time of the scheduled opening of
the schools may be suffering merely from
some slight ailment and, on the other
hand. they may be in the early stages of
some contagious disease, which it is
hoped to keep out of the public schools.
1t would be only matter of few days
70 diagnose the symptoms accurately
and a day or two lost at the outset Of
the school year would not materially re-
tard the children in their school progress.
while at the same time the plan OF keep
ing them away from other children might
serve as an effective barrier to the spread
of some serious malady. Would it not.
therefore, be wise to err on the part OF
too great caution rather than on the side
Of carelessness! The warm. sultry days
Of mid September furnish excellent con
ditions for the rapid advance Of eontag
ions, and once fastened among the chill /
dren the diseases are hard to shake of 1
We would advise that the parents or
guardians Of Barre school children con- +
stitute themselves the ones 20 exercise a +
due smount Of caution. there being no
system Of medical inspection in the Barre /
schools. and that children carrying pos
sibilitiss Of contagion be kept at home at
the outset Of the school year; or. at

An item in the proposed budget of the
Quincy, Mass, city government calls for
the expenditure OF $4,000 for a publ,
garage Perhaps the citizens OF Quincy
know what is wanted, but outsiders are
left much in the dark whether ii is pro-
posed to erect building for housing city
automobile trucks or for free use of mo-
tor car owners who may not be fortu-
nate enough to have garage accommoda
tions. In either event it looks like an
item which would bear a certain degree
of inspection. Few small municipalities
can afford to put as much money as that
into a garage

MILITARY MARCHING.
The Pace Varies With the Quality and
Size Ct tho Command.

Sixe cr me command.
The Army Drill Book" tells that
trained and hardened infantry can
cover from twenty to twenty miles
day when in small bodies. As the
size of the command increases the dis
lance covered becomes less, as the rate
is lowered and time is needed to get all
| the units into and out of camp.
With regiment or less of average
| troops egulars-marching over aver
age roads the rate should be from two
and three-quarters to three miles an
hour. Large bodies will travel from
two to two and half miles an hour.
while division cannot be expected TO
accomplish more than twelve and one
half miles day.
OF course all these figures will vary
with different conditions of roads and
weather Unframed troops could not
approach them until hardened. Though
they might do better for a day or two.

Marching with full equipment is hard
physical work and, like every other
form Of labor, requires a proper period

The extension of the Vermont primary
to the Vermont soldiers on the Mexican
boundary was not such tremendous I'M
dertaking, nor did it result in such one
sided voting as some people We're declar-
ing it would prove to be when the idea
was first preached. The soldiers did not
seem to vote like flock of sheep and, in
fact, they showed just about as much in
dependence of thought as they would
have shown had they been in their ac-
customed places in Vermont To permit
them to vote was bit of courtesy to
them and it also served to prevent them
from being disfranchsed just because
they had been patriotic. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that the same privilege
will not have to be extended to them
when the election comes around in No
vember. Reason: they ought to be home.

HAD FINEST TIME
OF TRIP IN BARRE
Rev William L. Clapp Sends Acknowl
edgement TO Barre Board OF Trade
for Courtesies Extended.

! President w G. Reynolds of the Barre
Board of Trade has received from Rev
William L. Clapp of Cedar Rapids, Ia a
letter acknowledging the courtesies ex-
tended him and his party on their visit
TO Barre on July IL. The letter is as
follows:
Cedar Rapids, Ia, Sept. ., 1919.
Mr.. w. G. Reynolds
Pres. Board OF Trade,
Barre, Vermont.
Dear Sir.
This is tardy recognition of the very
fine hospitality and unusual courtesies
shown us by you on our recent eastern
tour
My delay in writing has been due to
the fact that found myself covered up
upon my return by a multiplicity of
things which had accumulated during my
absence and further due to the fact that
| have been having quite serious Difficult
ty with my foot which has made it neces-
sary for me to spend much time with the
doctor.
| am glad to bear my sincerest testi-
mony to the royalty of your reception of
our party at Barre July II, and [ want
to not only thank you personally, but
also on behalf of the SO others who were
with me-
have seen several since our return
and all of them are agreed that Barre ex-
tended us the finest time we had on the
entire trip and am sure that they shall
all long have you in remembrance as one
of those who made our stay in the Gran
lite city so pleasant and enjoyable.
If you ever come to the West, permit
me the pleasure of showing you our fine
little city and any other courtesy that is
within the scope of my ability.
Again thanking you for your hospit-
able treatment of us all | am
Most sincerely yours.
Wilbur L. Clapp.

Retiring Gov. Curtis wore a different
kind of glasses when he viewed the
Maine election than Secretary of the
Navy Daniels did when he looked at the
wreckage. Curtis was frank enough tc
admit that we got good licking" while
Daniels was childish enough to try to
shift the $4,000 defeat into a virtual
victory" for the administration. Gov
Curtis took his defeat gracefully and
was man enough to congratulate the win
ming opponent in open hearted fashion
Curtis stands better with the people OF
Maine thereby, inasmuch as he showed
that he was not hard loser, nor yet a
man who tried to twist results around in
a ludicrous manner.

One of the surprises OF the campaign il
Vermont was the large and winning vote
which Roger W. Huburd of Hyde Park
polled Notwithstanding the fact that h,

ready flow of words to say nothing OF
his genial personality.

keeping is one of actual business
from start to finish and our
shorthand may be written either

We could show you clearly how
it is that we can turn out better
stenographer or bookkeeper, and
do it in three months less time
thanwe used to teach thesystems
that are now being used in other
schools. This saving of B months
means much to the prospective
student; at a conservative salary
of $50 per month, the three
months time would amount to
$50, three months board at SD
per month would amount to S36,
or a total saving of SlS6, to say
nothing Of the fact that the stu.
dent of our school gets three
months practical experience,
while the student of the other
school is just finishing his course
and has no experience.

Sad TRAGEDY
OCCURS AT HOPE
Young Lady, Disparing Over
Her High School Studies,
Kills Self.

Fear that she had for he sec
ond time failed in her lies at
the Hope high school, caused
Miss Ruby Katherine Polk, the
Is year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. d. S. Polk, of Hope, to end
her life about noon Tuesday. She
swallowed the contents of two
ounce bottle of poison while walk
ing along the street and was
found in a dying condition on the
doorstep of home.
Miss Polk left h G school
grounds at noon and went to her
fathers store, where she offered
to remain while he went to din
ner. He told her he would not
90 at that time and that she
should go on home. She left the
store and went to Gibson q Co.'S
drus store, where she purchased
the carbolic acid. Leaving the
drug store, she proceeded on her
way home and when at the corner
of Elm street and Sixth avenue
she took the cork from the bottle
and drank its contents. she con
tinued on her way to the resi-
dence of W. w. Duclett, where
she fell unconscious on the front
steps. She was discovered by
: neighbors, who assisted in re-
: moving herin the house. A ply
sician was called, but the girl
die6 within few minutes.
Miss Polk was member of the
! -.,sfr0f' class of the high schoo
and left a note which was found
} between the leaves OF one of her
school books, addressed to her
parents. She wrote that she
found the burden of her studies
too hard for her to bear and she
had decided to end her troubles
by committing suicide. 1t is said
that she had become completely
unstrunP by the strain of mental
work in an effort to make mp her
studies in which she had failed
last year. Tests were held at the
high school Tuesday morning and
she was afraid that she had fail
ed again. She brooded over this
thought until she decided to end
her life. She is survived by her
parents, three brothersand three
sisters.
