THE GRAHAM CASE.

Is the case against former Governor
Horace +. Graham to be brought to
trial at the September term of Wash
fngton county court?
That is question which scores of
loyal Vcrmonters-men jealous of the
good name of their statc-arc asking
nowadays. And they are asking it with
a feeling of uneasincss inspired by the
belief that forces below the surface of
state politics arc at work to keep this
case hushcd up.
Who is responsible for the delay9 One
hears various stories in explanation. En-
cnfies of Governor Clement are free to
express conviction that he is the man
whose foot is on the soft pedal, claiming
that he will not allow the attorney gen
eral the assistance that official wants in
preparing the case. Another story is
that Attorney General Archibald is not
anxious to tackle the job of prosecuting
the former executive and therefore is
pleading press of other state business as
an excuse for not acting. Yet another
story-and one that appears to be gain
ling considerable circulation - is that
Governor Clements accomplished young

long ago it felt justified in branding as
erroneous the story that Governor
Clement was unwilling to allow former
Attorney General Herbert G. Barber to

so positive that the story is untrue.

Miss Swift will become Home Bureau
manager for Saratoga county, New
York, under the direction of the New
York state extension service. Her head
quarters will be at Saratoga Springs.
She is to receive a considerably larger
salary than she receives here, and like
wise the expense will be more, but it
is the wider field and larger opportunity
that appeals to Miss Swift principally.
New York is one of the foremost states
in the Union in the develoment of ex
tension service work. Miss Swift will
succeed Miss Caroline Morton, who has
been promoted to be one of the assistant
state leaders.
1t was Miss Swift s desire not to take
up the duties of her new position until
fall. but because of important work that
needs to be done now she will go to
Saratoga county this month and take a
vacation in September. Her first work
will be with junior clubs, getting them
ready for demonstration work at the
county fair at Balston Spa in August.
Miss Swift came here Feb. %, 1918,
and her salary has been paid partly by
the home economies department of the
county Farm Bureau, partly by the state
and partly by the federal government.
The government appropriation is re-
duccd this year, so if the work is kept
up the reduced appropriation coming
from the government will have to be
made up from other sources. 1t is hoped
that the home economics department
will be able to meet larger share of
the expense.
This question will be discussed to-
day at a meeting in Brattleboro of the
executive committee of this department,
| consisting of Mrs. Edward Kirkland of
Bellows Falls, Mrs. II. w. Frost of East
Putney, Mrs. S. II. Minard of West
minister West, Mrs. w. B. Dunklee of
South Vernon and Mrs. +. A. Phelps of
Brattlcboro.

ties. This .s good percentage as com

the absorption of another private in
