Making New Parties.

II is always possible to find the max
ings' for a new party. Ii is certain that
there will be new party now and then
But new party that will really threat
en- either of the old ones seriously is
more easily dreamed of than realized
The former Progressiyes who met at
Harrisburg a few days ago showed no
signs of wishing to go TO it alone again.
Their mood was all that Chairman Hays
could have desired. Their avowed pur-
pose was to organize their forces within
the once unholy Republican party in or
der to insure the nomination of a presi-
dental candidate whom they could sup
port with enthusiasm. They recognized
that the nominee of 1920 might be a
man whom they would not have chosen,
but they are evidently prepared to vote
for such candidate in the good old way.
As for Senator Borah inviting the presi-
dental lightning by standing upon con
ductor labeled, "No league of nations"
all that it is necessary to say is that it
is Just like Washington to thrill with
excitement over such prospect
What stands in the way of the forma-
tion Of new parties is the law of econ
omy Of effort. II may be as easy to cap
ture the machinery of one of the old
parties as to devise new machinery upon
the scale required, and the advantages
of the capture are manifest. The most
striking illustration of such an event in
our history is the stroke of the free-sil-
yer men in 1896 in electing a controlling

fall, and for it interesting features are
being prepared Perhaps one of the
great appealing features viii be motor
pilgrimage to Norwich, on the west bank
of the Connecticut river, where the uni
versity had its founding under the lead
ership Of Captain Alden Partridge,
military man, as his title implies, and
formerly superintendent of that national
military institution, West Point. As the
American Literary Scientific and Mill
tary Academy" the institution carried
out its uncertain existence until 1884,
when by charter of the state of Vermont
it became "The Norwich University"
Norwich town was the home Of the insti-
tuition for nearly one half of the 100
years which the graduates and friends of
the institution will celebrate in October,
and so the pilgrimage Of Norwich men
to Norwich town will partake somewhat
of the nature of a pilgrimage to a shrine.
Fittingly enough, however, the main
features of the centennial will be held
at Mortified, where the institution has
been located for SO years; and there the
main body Of the people will gather to
participate in the event. There a fine
new stable for the cavalry department
of the university win be dedicated, the
building marking step in the advance
of the university in military sense and
placing Norwich well up in the list of
institutions of the country which are
devoting much Of their time to the de-
velopment of soldiers and potential sol
ders. Indeed, Norwich has been called
the second West Point Of the country,
and the records Of her graduates and for
mer students in the war and military
life seem to entitle her to that distinc-
ton A large number Of those men will
undoubtedly be back to assist their alma
mater in the renewing of her youth, and
the celebration should be something well
worth their while, for Norwich has some
thing to celebrate.

Vermont Cities Looted to Support De-

The Burlington Clipper inveighs
against the Rutland newspapers because
they are wrought up" over the tax prob.
lem and want some radical change. Criti-
cism of the present system is not made
because Rutland pays more into the
state treasury than is returned 70 the
city, as the contemporary puts it.
Rutland is willing to pay more, much
more, into the common fund for high.
way Improvement and the common
school system, and all the rest, than it
withdraws. It is willing to do this be-
cause life in Rutland is worth much more
than it is in the great majority Of the
rural towns, and the residents OF the city
get more use Of streets and get better
schools than do the rural districts.
There is objection only to carrying this
so far that it becomes practically a
looting Of the cities and larger towns
to support many towns which are prac-
tically unoceupied areas and still have
as much legislative representation as the
thickly populated towns and cities.
In plain English, Rutland and hun.
bred other municipalities in Vermont

NARROW BRIDGES IN VERMONT.


Two news items Of recent date tell Of
the collision of automobiles on bridges
or at the approaches TO bridges Those

ing at snail's pace, while few of them
are not capable of taking two automo-
biles side by side at the same time.
Many of these bridges are Of the open
plank construction and ought to be re-
placed anyway by modern structures of
cement or iron; and the towns having
such obsolete bridges should take steps
at once to build bridges capable of allow
ing two motor vehicles to pass on the
bridges providing due care is taken by
the drivers. At the same time the re
sponsibility is not lifted entirely from
the shoulders of the Automobiles or the
drivers of horses; there must be no pell-
NELL rush onto bridges; no racing to de-
termine which shall have the right OF

as well as decency, is demanded no mat

II anyone had told Guy w. Bailey back
in his college days of ls06-l900 that
within score of years he would be oe-
cupying "Prexy" Buckham's place at the
head of the University of Vermont, that
same Mr.. Bailey (now acting president
of the university would probably have
treated his informant with kindly toler-
ance and passed the matter off as good
Joke. Yet the whirligig of time has
brought that thing to pass, and no one
wonders much about it either. 1t seems
to be more or less of natural transition
from student to acting president of the
university.

The Middleburv. Vt. Fair.

Daniel L. Cady, in Rutland Herald.l
When thirteen teams 90 past your door,
A-followed up by fourteen more
And one or two 90 spare;
All heading toward the county seat,
With something in behind TO eat,
You know them teams are bound to meet
At Middlebury Fair
Yes; that's the way the crowd convened
Before the world was gasoliued,
And if you'd cast an eye
At noon behind the Floral Hall
You'd see 'em eating, one and all,
A-hunks Of cheese that wasn't small
And pie THAI sure was pie
The Monkton folks a-eome in hocks,
The Bridport folks in solid blocks,
And every place you went
You met right up with folks YOU knew
"The world was there and happy, too,
From lllsley down to Hare-lipped Lew
That wasn't wuth cent.
BY noon the litter scattered round
Would make you s'pose the solid ground
Was formed Of peanut peel;
The pedlars talked no end of chaff,
The reasespot man made millions
laugh,
The one-eyed, two.tailed Weybridge calf,
Made lots of wimmen squeal.
The sight our family liked the best
Was what they called the cattle test" !;
II made your heart.throbs pause
To hear a great long whiplash crack,
And see them oxen take up slack,
And haul mountain fot and back
And leave it where II was.
But when they rung the trotting gong
That crowd became a "surging throng,"
And bolted toward the track;
They left each cage and coop and pen,
They cut the Shropshire, Dorset men,
Goodby to blooded hog and hen
You couldn't hold EN- back.
My! how they watched the different
heats,
And stood atop the buggy seats
And almost come to blows;
One Teller climbed the quarter pole,
And once a deacon flashed a roll
And Uncle had his lap-robe stole
Right underneath his nose
But going home--Je hosh a phatl
You never saw race like that,
Each boss and every mare
Picked up their everlasting heels,
And dust and sass and scraping wheels,
And numerous spill-outs, cuts and keels
Wound up the Merry Fair.
An Unusual Case.

FACTS WERE "A BOOMERANG.

A few weeks ago Carl Kositzky declared the
state of North Dakota is worse than bankrupt
He asserted there was only $500 in the gener-
al fund and said the state owed $150,O00. He
intimated that the Hanna administrator had
left a large cash balance and insinuated that
the present condition of the states finances was
due to the extravaganza of the Frazier admin
istration.
In their debate at Bismarck last week, Mr..
Liggett was able to show that the same day
Mr.. Kositzky declared North Dakota was bank
rupt there was more than $2,4OO,OOO in various
state. funds on deposit in North Dakota banks.
Mr.. Liggett also proved from Mr.. Kositzky's
last annual report that instead of leaving a large
cash balance, the Hanna administration left the
general fund overdrawn more than $4,000 and
with unpaid debts Of $266,O00 which the Fra
zier administration has since paid.
MI. Liggett showed more than this. He prov
ed that on April l, 1919, there was outstanding
5000, 93O.1 IA in unpaid taxes which Auditor Ko-
sticky has failed to collect. Mr.. Liggett show
ed that $727, 248.02 of this sum is due from the
1918 taxes and that last March Mr.. Kositzky
failed to collect a single penny Of taxes from
lest in the state. Mr.. Liggett also showed that
in March, 1917, Mr.. Kositzky collected taxes
from all of the counties in the state.
What is the trouble with Auditor Kositzky?
Has he entered into conspiracy with some of
the county treasurers to embarrass the Frazier
administration by refusing to collect the taxes
due the state? Or is he so busy campaigning
for the /. V. A. that he has no time to attend
to the duties of his ocice?
Mr.. Kositzky gave out his false statements
in an attempt to injure the Nonpartisan League
administration. But the facts came as1b0om-
erang and showed that he himself is either in
competent or deliberately neglecting his office.
That 5000, $780, IA in uncollected state taxes will
require a lot Of explaining on his part. We sug-
gest that he stay off the stump for a while and
spend his time attending to the work the state
is paying him for, but which he very evidently
is neglecting.

FINANCES IN
GOOD SHAPE
OBERT OLSON'S OFFICIAL RE.
PORT GIVES LIE TO RUMOR
BEING SPREAD

Bismarck, N. D. May Z, 1919.-Re-
ports spread by State Auditor Carl
Kositzky and the organs of the In'le-
pendent Voters association to the ef-
feet that the State Of North Dakota
"was worse than bankrupt" were offic-
tally given the lie today by Treas
urer Obert Olson in his quarterly re-
port to the governor.
According to Treasurer Olson's re-
port the state of North Dakota now
has on deposit a total balance Of $3,
O53 ,702.95. This money is apportioned
among 66 different funds, Of which
one, the general fund, has a balance Of
1852, 1913.
On April /, 1919, the general fund
only had a balance Of $1,000 and there
some $15O,OOO in unpaid warrants out
standing against all the funds. Kosit-
zky used these figures in an effort to
make the voters believe the state was
bankrupt. He ignored the fact that at
that time there was on deposit in the
various state funds more than $2,400,-
900. He also ignored the fact that the
general fund was low because the
state auditor for some mysterious rea-
son had failed to collect the $900,930.
ID of taxes due for the years 1918
If this money was collected there
would be $1,253, 689.33 in the general
fund. If the general fund was low on
April 1 it was because Auditor Kosit-
ky was negligent in his duties.
In his April interview Kositzky also
predicted that the state officials
would have to go without their salar.
les because of financial shortage. Since
he made that prediction the general
fund balance has increased from &c..
$50 to $352,759 and the total state bal.
ance has increased from $2,4OO,OOO te
more than three million dollars.
Commenting upon his report, State
Treasurer Olson said:
IT think the condition Of the state
finances as shown by my report is
proof positive of the economy prac'
ticed by the Nonpartisan League ad'
ministration. Those who would spreae
rumors to the contrary run up against
one very formidable fact-that thu
state treasury is in better condition
than it has been at any previous time
in the history of the state"
