| do not dispute Mr.. Clements right
to seek tho Office. He is now past ~
years of age and, in the natural course
of events, his opportunity to seek pub
lie preferment is limited; but in view
of the grave crisis that faces the world,
the chief plank of his platform strikes
many people as a trifle unworthy.
About the state scandal now under
discussion, | do not yet know enough
to speak with authority. Personally |
do not believe in much loud talk be-
fore the facts are fully and officially
established When the legislature
meets, l believe that every man in
public life in Vermont can be trusted
to do all in his power to safeguard the
interests of the commonwealth. Yer
mont has been 40 years state and
has record of public service equalled
by few, exeelled by none.
1t is customary for candidates to
rush forward with proposed cures for
all kinds of evils. My own theory is
that the character of a state govern
ment depends upon the men elected to
state office. Ability coupled with sell
fshness, ambition and greed, is less val
liable than ability joined with honesty
and sincerity of purpose. In this and
every other campaign the duty of Tho
voters is to select from the list OF
candidates such ones as they believe
most unselfishly devoted to the welfare
of the state, and those who have NJ
Interior objects to serve.

GRADUATING EXERCISES.
Trow Hill Grammar School Pupils Gave
Entertainment.

Friday evening, June 81, the gradual
ing exercises of the Trow hill grammar
school were held. assisted by the Pu-
pills of the lower grades.
A spicy original play, arranged
by their teacher, entitled, "The Reun-
ion," was given, the parts being taken by
the following girls: Elva Bradbury,
Irene Richie, Marjorie Smith, and Anna
Nelson, who graduated and were sup
posed to be holding their union twenty
wears hence. There were many bright
hits, which drew forth much applause
and we hope the future holds as much
success for them as was told in the play.
This was followed by an entertainment
given by the other pupils and consisted
OF songs, Rotations and several folk
dances by the first and second grades. 1t
would take much space to give the en-
tire program, but it must be said that
every number was carefully prepared
and well given, even the smallest pu-
pills showing their Willingness to learn,
and the painstaking work that has been
done by their teachers, Miss Gladys Per-
kins and Miss Helen Hack.
Much regret was expressed by pupils
and friends of the school that neither

amply sufficient to warrant the faculty
