JUDGE STAFFORD
HEARTILY ENDORSED
st. Johnsbury caIedonian Gives The
Distinguished Jurist Boost
for Senatorship,


st. Johnsbury, Sept. 17.-That the
mention of Judge Wendell p. Stat
ford's candidacy for the United States
Senate is taken seriously here is indi
Gated by an editorial endorsement on
the first page of the Caledonian
which is headed why Not Judge
Stafford?"
The presence of the distinguished
iurist orator, poet and writer in the
state and his recent address to the re-
turned veterans in Randolph are sup
posed to have inspired the endorse
ment which is as follows:
Twelve months from this time the
citizens of Vermont will register at
the primaries their choice for Uni
ted States senator and the candidate
elected in the following November
| will take his seat in March, 1921, for
a term of six years. 1t is none too
early to be seriously thinking Of a
/ candidate and the Caledonian sug-
gests that the wisest choice would be
made if the voters nominated and
then elected Judge Wendell p. Stat
/ ford of st. Johnsbury.
Judge Stafford is too we'll known
| by the people Of Vermont from Jay
Peak to the Massachusetts line to
need any extended biography. When
he began his public career as repre-
sentative from ST JohnsbuTy a Mont
perier in 1892 some called him a radi
cal because he championed weekly
payments, prohibitions and woman's
suffrage The years have come and
! pfpua ouI ,,pur OIL 'fbaua ,,,oo ptt,.ae,
have been adopted BY the country
while both the leading political par
ties are claitifing' the credit or secur-
| ing their passage t.1 %
Judge Stafford was promoted from
the Vermont bench to the Supreme
court of the District of Columbia in
1904 and for Is years has been at
Washington where he has kept in the
closest touch with national affairs
Though away from Vermont goodly
portion of each year he never lost his
legal residence in this state, spending
every summer among his Vermont
friends and in his Vermont home He
has thus kept up his acquaintance
with his own people as well as his
grasp upon all state issues.

stands unquestionably in the front
rank of Americas brilliant galaxy OF
public speakers, and if elected sena,
tor his voice would be heard with rapt
attention. But above all, he is a pro
Igressive republican and stands for
the liberal and progressive measures
which appeal to so many Vermonters
in these stressful days He strikes
no false note in his public utterances
and his Randolph speech offered a
solution of the labor question that
commands attention.
IF elected senator his age ensures
| him long and useful public service
while the call for him to enter the
| lists comes from all parts of the state
The Caledonoian confidently expects
that if Judge Stafford should become
candidate he would win the cleo
ton, and with such a statesman in
the United States Senate Vermont
would soon come to its own again as
the little state who sent its biggest
men to Washington"

cupied areas, has been forbidden in
the Rhine province by the oberpresi-
dent. Hundreds of the medals were
bought by American soldiers as SOU
veniers Writing to Colonel l. L.
Hunt. officer in charge of civil at
fairs in the American area, regarding
the sale of the medal by Germans the
oberpresident says:
q wish to inform you that such a
medal has, of course, never been
coined or caused to be coined by any
German government The medal is
simply the outcome of misguided
thrift and greediness on the part OF
certain private dealers who, in a
most unwarrantable manner, publish
ed this tasteless reproduction and
have hawked it about, without con
sidering for one moment, that by 80
doing. they stimulate the animosity
against Germany
The story generally current with
the sale of this issue of the medals
was that they were made in Munich
by the manufacturer of the original
which was issued in 1916 after the
sinking of the Lusitania and from the
same dies on which the original issue
was cast. These dies, according to
the story, were ordered. destroyed by
the German government after but
twenty-eight medals had been struck
but were surreptitiously saved by
Karl Guertz, who is reported TO
have been the designer. The Ger
man government has several times
denied that any Lusitania medal was
ever issued with consent of any gov
eminent officials.

Boston Policemen Menaees Our
System of Government.
New York, Sept. 1S-The Boston
police by going on strike, have chal.
lenged the constitution of the United
States, Ehhu Root, former secretary
of state, declared in an address at the
National Security Leagues constitu-
tion day 5ceebration last night
I'VE cbtbot maintain this constitu
ton withoN insisting ppon its being
followed" said Mr. Root we cannot
maintain it by laughing at those who
try to make a joke OF it. We cannot
maintain gagEbgs being tolerant and lib
eral and sGnoifferent towards those
who attatbit We must stand for it
when it is challenged
and it is being challenged today
here, there, and in a hundred direc-
tions. Most notably it is challenged
by the police strike in Boston now
THAT raises distinctly the question
whether our system of government
represented in this constitution pro-
vides for free, popular government
Under II We have a democracy in
which all the people have their part
in government Every officer legisla
tive, executive, judicial, military, is
the servant of all the people-not of
any class, not of any group, not Of
any religion, not of any race-but all.
And that is fundamental to our demo
crazy.
"a written constitution such as
ours limits the powers OF the men who
govern" Mr. Root said in part OF his
speech. Never forget the Importance
of that That is the vital thing for
the preservation of liberty. No king
by any name among free people!
Give TO any man in this free land
great office, call him mayor or gov
Iernor. or general or president so long
as by virtue of that office he is adj
ministering the law. so long as he
speaks the voice of the law he is your
superior and mine as the representa-,
tive of law, of our law, but the NOM
ent he passes the limit of that lawful
power which is limited by the con
stitution that moment he is our equal
and not our superior"
