The u. S. SenatorShip

History hath "a thousand several
tongues, and every tongue brings in a
several tale and every tale" proclaims
that democracy is waning, if not act
uaIlv subverted, where the highest offices
in the gift of the people are obtainable
by the power of mere wealth and false
assertion.
The campaign for the election of Allen
M. Fletcher as United States Senator
from Vermont is being conducted on the
theory that the people of Vermont have
degenerated to q deplorable depth of We
nality and gullibility. Wedo not believeit
We do believe the contrary. We believe
that the spirit and honor and self-respect
that actuated our fathers in those early
achievements, of which we so often and
so justly boast, still dominate and thrill
the people of Vermont, and that the
sturdy manhood of the Aliens and their
compeers has been inherited by our fellow
citizens.
We appeal to them with the utmost
confidence in this effort of wealth to
demonstrate its powers against their in
telligence, their integrity, and their patri-
otism. to resent the nsinuation that the
people of Vermont in its political capacity
is horde of hirelngs.

The States Attorneyship
JOHNSON, VT,
A ,r-%4 10 orc

JOHNSON, VT, |
August, %, 1916
Editor News and Citizen:-
Feeling that it is only fair to the people
of Lamoille County that they be fully in :
formed as to the men they are support
ing for public Office, and also for the pur-
pose of correcting some erroneous state
ments that are being circulated, want
to say through your paper that / have
known Mr.. w. E. Tracy of our town,
who is candidate for States Attorney
of this county, for the past twenty five
years and | can most heartily endorse
him for this office, knowing that he is in
every way qualified to fill the office
further know that Johnson voters will
almost, if not quite. to a mau support
him.
An erroneous report that is being cir
culated is to the effect that Mr.. Tracy is
using Intoxicating liquors. | want to
stamp this report as absolutely false.
Mr.. Tracy informs me that not drop
of Intoxicating liquor has passed his lips
for nearly four years; to be exact. not
since January, %, 1918, and can vouch
for the truth of this from the fact that l
see Mr.. Tracy nearly every day and had
he made any use of liquor should have
known it.
Mr.. Tracy also informs me that if elect
ed to this office he shall do all in his
power to close every place in the county
where liquor is sold Illegally.
l know that as Town Grand Juror of
Johnson for the past two years he has
closed two old sores of this kind. and l
feel sure that if the voters want the
liquor laws enforced they will make no
mistake in electing Mr.. Tracy States At
torney. Very respectfully yours,
c. Fl. STEARNs.

Vermont Takes Care of Her
Soldiers and Families

Vermont's citizen soldiers who were
called to the colors by the recent crisis
on the Mexican border are provided for
and provision is made for their depart
ments in bills passed by the special ses-
sion of the Legislature last week.
Dependent mothers and fathers, wives
and children not over - years of age,
may secure financial relief from the
state to the amount not exceeding S35
monthly to a family, according to one
measure signed by the Governor. Where
wife only is in need of aid she may re-
ceive $40 month.
Another bill provides state pay of $40
month for the enlisted men in addition
to their federal pay of approximately SIS
a month. There was a difference of
opinion on the question of mileage for
soldiers. The House passed bill pro-
viding for rate of 20 cents a mile one
way, but the Senate amended this to
read ten cents mile one way, which the
House accepted.

The enactment of Federal Child Labor
Law by this Congress will release nearly
rhree-quarters of million children from
industrialism, and since they cannot work
in factories, it is likely many of them will
enjoy their right of going to school,
More than that, the new law is step in
the direction of freeing nearly a million
and half other children who labor, but
the product of whose toll does not enter
into interstate commerce Child labor
has been employed because it is cheap
labor and must necessarily lower the
standard of adult wages. Hence the re-
moval of infant labor from the market
ought to raise the standard OF adult in
dustrialism. More education for the
children who never had any advantage
of childhood ought to be a distinct gain
to the national life. The work of the
world can be done by the grown-ups.
A child who starts to work at sixteen is
beginning early enough.
