HORACE +, GRAHAM,
OrIeans County Monitor.

Mr.. Graham Is a progressive type of
Republican, who can more nearly unite
the factions of the State than any
other man mentioned, He has re-
manned in the Republican ranks, but
has been one of those men who could
see things as they were and has not
been afraid to express himself, lie
il the young mans candidate because
he Is progressive and the old mans
candidate because he is tried and
sound
His experience peculiarly fits him
for the honor, His service in the
Vermont Legislature, as States attor-
ner, as State auditor for IA years and
his work on several commissions where
a study of State requirements was
made has perhaps made his acquaintance
with Vermonts need and his acquain'
lance with Vermont men more thorough
than any man IN the State, In the
Office of audi tor Mr., Graham has dis
tinguished himself as a man Of judg-
ment and always true to Vermont. He
has come to be more often consulted,
perhaps, than any other official about
the statehouse. Mr., Graham knows
Vermont laws, Vermont requirements,
and Vermont men.

SAVE OLD SCRAP.
st. Adams Messenger.

There is money today in old scrap
on the farm, and it is worth the trouble
of picking up. Old iron is worth
double what it was year ago. Cotton
rags are worth three times as much
as they were year ago, wooden
rags twice as much, and old paper,
lead. brass, rubber, and bones bring
good money. A well known agricul-
tural journal in discussing at length
the shortage of new material and the
demand for all sorts of old material
that has been looked upon as about
worthless, urges the Importance of
gathering up these things and realiz-
ing something from them. This journal
saws: "Our farms are said to be har-
boring millions of dollars worth of
scrap and waste, because we have
never developed an adequate system
by which these odds and ends may be
collected. In Europe they are all
picked up and utilized, but here the
iunkman's cart wanders chiefly through
the cities and towns. The country in
large measure is neglected, and
thousands of tons of waste are allowed
to rust and rot away, bringing profit to
nobody"

Rutland Herald.

The announcement of the candidacy
of John +. Weeks of Middlebury for
the republican nomination as lieutenant
governor is more or less in line
with the policy of promotion, already
given fair trial in Vermont. From
House to Senate is becoming an ac-
cepted method for legislators, and
those proven worthy have advanced
from one chamber to another with some
regularity.
Judge Weeks served in the House
in 1888 and 1912. He was State
senator in 1896 and is Speaker of the
present House. Although The Herald
has disagreed with him on some pub
lie matters, it has given him credit
for honesty of purpose, and recog-
nizes that no small share in the credit
able record of the present Legislation
was due to his wise direction and sober
counsels.
Based upon his record as Spe iker
alone, it would seem as though he
might profitably be advanced from
that office to lieutenant governor,
which includes, as a principal duty,
the presidency of the Senate. Ger
tainly his many years of service and
his more recent experience in the
speakership would indicate special
fitness for that duty.
Judge Weeks was born in Salisbury
and was elected assistant judge of
Addison county in 1892. He has been a
trustee of the Vergennes Industrial
school, cattle commissioner, and is
present head of the board of penal in
situations In many ways he has been
brought into. close touch with the de-
tails of State business and would be an
able second in command to Horace F.
Graham.
1t seems likely that Roger w. HUI
burd of Hyde Park will also be a can
date for the republican nomination for
lieutenant governor Mr.. Hulburd is
best known as an orator and has done
public party service of valuable sort.
He has also had legislative experience.

yet been made,

Speaker John E. Weeks, whose can
dacy for the republican nomination for
lieute nant-governor has already beer
discussed at length in these columns,
has formally announced his candidacy
in letter which appears in another
column. His modest aims, if elected, are
well stated, and whether Chittenden
county is to have candidate or not,
all must recognize in him strong can
didate for the second place on the State

A WARNING FROM OUR OVER
SEER OF POOR.

To the Editor of The Registers
| would like to call the attention OF
our numerous liberal-hearted citizens to
the fact that we have five or six mighty
undesirable" families residing in and
near by Middlebury, and that they have
been in the habit of begging for any
thing, money seeming to be the thing
they needed most. Now ! am wonder
ing if the kind hearted people who have
been assisting some Of these poor un-
fortunates" really understand that by
continuing to provide clothing, or food
or money, they are making it quite pos
sible that they will become permanent
charges on the town of Middlebury?
Have you looked them up, do you know
where they came from, and whether
they are deserving or not? Well, III tell
YOU that some of them are "birdies, ~
and that the communities from which
they came kept certain members OF
some of the groups under lock and key
so they knew where to look for them
when they wanted them. When they
let them out they flew to Middlebury'
Moraly-well | guess won't talk on
that subject, it might not look well in
print. But, really, if people approach
you for aid, remember that there is no
need of anyone going hungry in Middle
bury, if they will go to work, as dozens
of men in this town do right along, and
who never think of calling on you for
assistance. When they come again, tell
them to come down and see me (l'm a
dreadfully kind-hearted mani and let
me know of their visit, and we will see
if it ism possible to arrange for little
gentle exercise for them down at the
Workhouse.

little giant of Illinois, the great com
petitor of the greater Lincoln, was a

The Substitute" is delighted to pub
fish the foregoing, which is clipped from
the editorial columns Of The Rutland
Daily News, 1t gives US the opportun'
ity to correct what might lead to faulty
history and at the same time we can en-
tighten our bighbrowed friend on q
scrap of history that every Vernon
schoolboy knows, or should know.
Never mind the bats in the garnet,
we won question that.
Now the Substitute" said that Mid
dlebury was once the abiding place"
of Stephen A. Douglas, and it was
This is quite different from saying il

Brandon all right. No question about
that, but it is fact that he did reside
in Middebury while learning the trade
of an old cabinet maker by the name
of Nathan Parker who had little shop
on the banks of the Otter, just above
Mddlebury village.

tor, that when this substitute" makes
a statement about a bit Of Vermont

RURAL EDUCATION.
Rutland News.


That will be an important meeting to
be held at Worcester, Mass, on April 2S,
on rural education. The central theme
of the conference will be the rural
school as the community center-an
undeveloped resource, and is perhaps of
supreme Importance in the development
of Vermont. President John M.
Thomas of Middlebury has pointed out
forcibly the fact that what Vermont
needs perhaps more than any other
one thing is education in the back
towns. The rural school is by nature
adapted to be the center of community
life, and there are instances of where
communities have been reclaimed
through the influence of practical edu-
cation centering in the schools. There
are a good many of the hardly accessible
districts of Vermont for which syste-
matte plans of reclamation should be
made and carried to consummation.

VERSITY
Springfield Reporter,

The Mortified News tells Of the
"Ainsworth Infrmary" which is now
being completed for Norwich Univer-
sity. The building is adjacent to the
university, and is being remodelled
and fitted up for hospital uses for the
institution. 1t was donated to the school
by Mrs. Laura l.. Ainsworth, widow of
j. Edward Ainsworth Of the class of
1853, and the gift was made possible
through the good offices Of eX-president
Charles H. Spooner, who was at the
head of the college when the gift was
pledged. This will be a notable addition
to the plant of this growing institu-
ton.

ending was rather pitiful in view of its

who never inquire into the mysteries OF
