The suggestion from Governor Graham
that 30 minutes of time be taken in eacl
town meeting throughout Vermont OF
March in order to engage in patriotic
demonstration is good one and is likely
to be followed in the towns where the
town meeting system has its full exploit
tation. In the cities where the voters
do not gather en- masse but are divided
into wards and do not vote at the same
time it will not be possible to carry out
the idea in the way suggested, albeit
there is a possibility that a patriotic
meeting might be held on that day in
those communities. 1t might not be
practicable in few instances, but, TAX
ing the state as whole. there should be
something like $40 patriotic meetings at
the same hour on March 5. Governor
Graham's recommendation is worthy Of
careful attention on the part of the Off.

Kan, former principal of Goddard sem

of Vermonters who went into the Middle
West and became powerful influences for
the upbuilding of that section. Starting
his life activities as an educator, he soon
turned to the law and he was for quar-

of Topeka and the surrounding territory.
While Vermont is regretful that its life
has to be drained of some of these most
promising sons it nevertheless is pleased
at the successes which those departing
sons have attained in their new fields of

Although there may be some fairly
good reasons why United States troops
should be sent to eastern Europe or even
into Asia in order to prosecute the war
