A Tribute to Vermont.

The Rev. II P. Frost, for many
years one of the ablest Methodist
preachers of the country, has recent
" moved to Bradford to make his
home. In answer to why he desired
to make his home in Vermont Mr.
Frost wrote as follows:
s Since leaving Vermont % years
ago we have cherished the hope that
when the time should come for re-
firing from the active. pastorate,s the
way might be open for us to return
to our native state. Moreover, hav-
ing it in mind to do some literary
work of modest quality and proper

congenial surroundings, where ono

The Humanity of. It.

In previous editorials we have at
tempted to show the universally of
the call for food matters that the Al
lies of Europe might-be supplied with
necessary food. also that an actual
shortage exists and that America is
the only country that can furnish the
food required. There is another side
of tho matter We wish to emphasize
and that is the humanity of the APP
peal and the moral benefit to US vol
untary response to the appeal would
give.
( It you'd be very unfair for the
American people to declare they
woul Id not. shart their generous food
supply with the millions Of England
s France and Belgium who are actual,
suffering for food. and who are fight.
ing the same foe that is fighting us.
The defeat of the Germans is vic.
tory for America as much as fol
Europe, and we should enter the con
test against Germany on the sam,
level as the other peoples fighting
with us. We should say our suppl,
shall be shared with you and notsseI
>fshly deyoured by. US, If our Allie
are hungry we should share hunge'
with them. That would be enterin,
the contest on the square.

denial that will help him in carryini

That New Ehglanders are giving

The Governorship,

The GOveFnOrship.
Most people are thinking of the
war these days and are giving little
thought of the next election in YER
mont. Several papers have mention
ed the fact that it Is coming, some
having suggested that it would be
wise to reflect Gov. Horace e.
Graham for another term. and more
recently a few papers have spoken
disparagingly of that idea. They base
their arguments largely on the pre-
cedent well established in Vermont of
giving governor only one two-year
term.
1t is true that vermonters have
been inclined to pass the office of gov
ernor around to accommodate those
who wish to fill that honorable pos
ition but we do not believe Vermont
ers are Interchangeable In their habits
when convinced change would be to
their advantage. One of the most re-
cent comments we have noticed was
one that man like G. H. Darling of
Burlington could serve the state just
as well as Gov Graham could for the
next term.
We know Mr.. Darling to be a cap
able man and it is not our purpose to
say anything against him. We do
not believe, however, he could give
the state as good service as Governor
Graham. Gov. Graham is the first
Vermont governor to devote his whole
time to the duties of his Office. All
of his time is given up to the duties
Of governor. He will be found at
Montpelier Whenever he is not called
teyotfiertparts of the state or to other
states on executive business. He
Keeps as close watch on the conduct
of the. business of the. state as the
manager Of any private corporation
does. He advises the heads of
the various deartments regarding
the conduct Of their department
closely watches the expenditures in
every. part Of the state and is real
governor S.
j. no other man In Vermont is SO vel
acquitted with the business Of The
state, as Gov Graham and therefore
not SO well qualified to iii that pos.
ition. He has changed the governor.
