WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
A Gentle Slam at Williams.

A Gentle Slam at Williams.
Does Frank C. Williams want to 60
to the legislature as representative
Of the city Of Newport or to look out
for the interests of Frank c. Will
liams ?-Brattleboro Reformer.
SHINING Business Kept.
The meat packers will be allowed to
retain only the slaughtering and skin
ming branches of the business, says a
Chicago paper. The skinning bust
ness is to be retained. Well, what's
all the fuss about ?-Montreal Star.
Unkind.
The meanest thing we have heard
guest at Tom Heaphy's hosiery. This
travelling Hammer club said to the
writer, "When are they going to bring
in the convicts ?" Asked for an ex-
PLANTATION as to what he meant, he re-
piled, "All that is needed in the state
house addition is bars across the win
dows and a red light at the outer
wicket to make first-class jail Of 1t.
Did YOU ever hear anything like this
in your life ?-Northfield News.
Clement anu IOilIlcS.
Has Percival w. Clement resigned
as president of the Vermont Local
Option League now that he is a can
didate for governor? The Rutland
Herald insinuated that the Federal
Food Administrator was playing poll
tics with the Anti-Saloon League and
long before any such charge was
made Mr.. Brooks resigned as presi-
dent of the League to give his entire
attention to the work of food cOnser-
Johnsbury Caledonian.
Metzger Up for Reelection.
Rev. Frazer Metzger, who made
good record in the last session Of the
legislature as representative from
Randolph, is a candidate for reelec
ton. He will be opposed by Charles
J. Stocllwell, former merchant, now
employed in the store of Tewksbury
& Raymond. Mr.. Metzger's expert
ence ought to make valuable man
for the state. 1t is a wise policy to
send back to Montpelier seasoned leg
islators wherever available. The CUES
ton in the election of representativ
especially this year, should be effici-
ency. Without knowing Mr.. Stock
we'll we feel safe in saying that the
election of Mr.. Metzger would not be
mistake.-BrattlebOrO RefOrmer.
The Riddles Eyes and Teeth.
Time is passing right along, and it
will be only few days before schools
viii open. Parents and others having
charge Of school children should get
right about doing some Of those
things that already have been post
p0ncd long enough. You were to have
that child's eyes CiVGn attention with
out fail this vacation, were you net?
Or Won were going to take him to the
dentists office this vacation, you re
member. Well, the child viii never
be any Younger: and probably the
time viii never be any more con-
venient than right now. If you do
not look out the opening day Of
school VIII be here before these mat
ters arc given attention, and then you
viii postpone them till the next vaCa-
tion. POstponement Of these essen
tials does not aid the child's efficiency
Proper attention to them does. Which
shall it be during the next few days?
Bennington Banner.
Caledonia 'Politics is Adjourned"
AS far as Caledonia county politics
are concerned the famous dictum of
President Wilson is especially apple
able as there will be no contest at the
primaries on the Republican ticket for
the various Offices. This in war times,
is exceedingly gratifying, and If the
candidates are elected in
the fall, as we confidentially believe
they will be, the interests of the state
I Ill
The two candidates for county SEN
vile and Harry H. Carr Of St. Johns
bury. Mr.. Stuart represented the
town of Lyndon in the last legis-
lature and will be one of the progress
sive leaders in the senate of 1919 Mr..
Carr has held numerous town offices,
is an active and well-posted citizen

the next senate.
Both Messrs. Stuart and Carr favor
the passage Of the national prohibi-
ton amendment and thus voice the
sentiments of a majority of their con-
stituents.
States Attorney James B. Camp
bell is deserving of reelection. He
has administered the duties of his
office without fear or favor and with
marked success.
Sheriff w. H. Worthen is a fearless
and painstaking officer and his record
in bringing violators of the law to
the proper tribunals for trial is we'll
