In view of the rumorcd intention of
Champ Clark to try for the Democratic
presidential nomination next year. it Is
interesting to note that the Missouri
statesman today enters upon his 10th
year, an age greater than that of any
President at the time of his inaugu-
ration. Mr.. Clark has just retired from
the Speakership of the United States
house of representatives after having
filed the Office through four congress-
es. He is a Kentuckian, was educa-
ted at Bethany college and at the Gin
cinnati school of law. and for a time
was an educator. But the practice of
law was to be his calling, as a prepare
ton for politics, and, in the course of
time, he settled at Bowling Green, No.
which he still calls home From 1897
10 the present time he has been mem
Der of congress. In 1912 he was the
closest rival to Mr.. Wilson for the
Democratic presidential nomination.

AS to Saloons.
Barre Times

The question whether there will be
any licensed saloons in Vermont after
May will be settled when it is seen
what the legislature will do about permit
ting pro rata assessment of license. Ii
the legislature should grant passage to
bill permitting pro rata fees, it is prob
able that there would be an almost nor
NAL demand for licenses in the cities and
towns which have been operating under
license recently, with small number APP
plying in the cities and towns where the
license regime has not been operative
for many years. 1t would not be a very
profitable venture to purchase fixtures
and go to other expenses of establishing
u liquor business just for the opportunity
of doing business for two months, or
whereabouts Therefore, it may be ex-
pected that efforts will be made to get
some sort of bill through the legisla-
ture to permit of pro rata licenses for
the short term of operation.

GOVERNORS AND MAYORS.

The national conference of governors
and mayors at Washington this week
ended i'll fzzle and political wrangle.
Perhaps this was natural effect fol
lowing an evident cause-calling poll
ticians together to consider business
problems. Undoubtedly many of the
governors and mayors present were
good business men but primarily they
were politicians holding political offices,
harboring political ambitions and striv
ing for political honors. The settlement
of business problems in behalf of po-
litical interests is not practical or de
sirable.
The administration and people in gen
era should realize that il is not the
duty Of a government to provide EN-
ployment, build homes or furnish capt
tai further than sane business can. If
it is not safe for capital to enter in
dustrial productions at this time
it is not safe for the government to do
unreasonable expenses of the govern
ment. 1t would place business on an I'M
stable basis because it would make
safe business impossible. As soon as the
people realize that it is a business prob
lem they are facing and that It is a
problem to be solved by practical and
successful business men the country
will be in a position to undertake bust
i ness reconstruction.
The governors and mayors in Wash
ington gave the country about as much
1 talk az the tilibusterers in the senate
did and like the senate, they went

thing about flowers is their looks. You
can never tell how a flower is going to
smell by its looks. and persin is libel
to start smelling one with hopeful tx

The rose is one of the best looking
flowers and it also has one of the best
smells. This proves it never rains but

The MeddIer
"Lf the coat fits yon, PIT it on

For the benefit of those who are won
dering what has become of the recently
started movement to investigate the adj
ministration Of the Thomas Thompson
fund It may be said authoritatively
that the investigation is now in pro-
gress. Thus far what has been done is
largely in the way of preliminary in
quiry, but there is no disposition on the
part of those charged with handling the
matter to rest until it has been deter
mined definitely whether or not the
rights Of Brattleboro are being given
proper recognition in the administra-
ton of the fund They are moving
slowly with the idea of being sure of
their ground, but as soon as any def
mite development occurs the public will
be advised of it. The last thing in the
minds OF the investigating committee
is desire to conduct the inquiry as a
star chamber proceeding They realize
it is a matter in which every citizen of
Brattleboro has right to feel a sort
of proprietary interest.
In this connection it may be inter
esting TO local people to know that the
residents Of Rhinebeek, N. y, bene-
ficiary with Brattleboro under the
terms of the Thompson will, have be.
come interested of late in finding out
about the expenditure of their share OF
the funds income, and like this town
have appointed committee to look into
the matter and report. A representa-
