NTHAT Mr. Hugh Walpole has to say
w of Christopher and Columbus IS
infinitely more interesting than the book
tself. 1t is unbelievable that this newI
tory by the author Of Elizabeth and Her
Tcrmam Garden should receive such en-
;husiastic praise from Mr.. Walpole and
serves TO strengthen the theory expressed
n a recent criticism of w. L. Georges
new novel that England, dog tired from
he war, has been indulging in a heavy
sleep and that the utterances of her nov
clists are like the things people say on
coming out of ether.
We might as well remark here that the
author of Christopher and Columbus IS
also the mysterious author of Christine.

certain learned old men and conceited
young ones who find Christopher and Co
Iumbns silly and sentimental" writes Mr..
Walpole during the course of his amazing
remarks. We are none of these things,
being young and modest and pleasantly ig-
norant, and yet we have found it ex-
treineIy sentimental and affected almost
to the point Of Stiffness. And the strange
thing about it is that the book gives the
impression of having been written for
just our sort and not Mr.. Walpole's sort
at all!

PRESS COMMENT
President Thomas
Barre Times)

The Vermont branch of, the Ameri-
can legion could not, perhaps, have
chosen man more acceptable to all
its membership as the first command
cr of the branch than John NJ.
Thomas, president of Middlebuly col
lege and man. who, though not
classed as a fighting man, was yet
pleased to be associated with fighting
men. On two occasions in recent
years President Thomas has seen his
duty to enlist as chaplain with the
army of the United States, first with
the forces which went to the Mexican
border in 1916 and again with the
army during the world war. His lat
ter service was in home camps and
cantonements rather than in the zone
of warfare, but there is no doubt that
he would have been just as ready to
serve with the American expedition
airy forces in Europe as with the
American soldiers in the United
States. He was ready to be assigned
wherever the war department chose;
and it happened that the war depart
ment selected him for home camp SER
vice. So Chaplain Thomas served
there and he gave excellentacco of
himself. He is man of executive
ability and leader, so the Vermont
branch of the American legion did
well for itself when it chose his as a
commander.

In the death of George H. Cross, st.
Johnsbury loses one of its most sub
stantial and beloved citizens and a
man who ever kept youne Though
retired from business which he had
seen grow to large proportions, he
never retired from an active partici-
patton in all of the best activities Of
the community. He was a man who
was ever thoughtful of others, fond
of social life, and most devoted to the
church and all its activities. Of a
most generous disnosition he made
nos display of his philanthropy, but
there are many today who could
speak of his gifts with very warm
hearts. His death comes as distinct
loss to st. Johnsbury and the family
have the sincere sympathy of very
wide circle of friends.

tial ground for the resentment felt by
the young soldiers toward the utter
ance of the present executive relative
to finding positions for gassed sol
diers, there IS feeling that politics
lurked conspicuously in the back
ground. If Governor Clement had
any idea of naming his own success
OF as governor, or of going to the re-
publican national convention as
chairman of the delegation, it was
suspected that fact might have fgur.
ed somewhat in this connection.
When the smoke cleared away, it
was found Hiaat a possible new ticket
had developed, with Judge E. w.
Gibson Of Brattleboro for governor
and ex-Representativc Redfield Proc
tor of Proctor for, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
or. This complicated the situation
IN various ways especially as to a
Soldier" ticket. Mr.. Stone had done
service in the war in France in con-
ncction with the Y, M. C. A and had
the uniform. On the other hand SEN
ator M S Villas of Burlington and
the Hon. A. w. Foote of Addison
county had supposed the fight for
second place on the State ticket lay
between themselves. Other factors
in the situation are to be found in
the fact that Senator Villas has been
suspected of building his fences to
succeed Congressman Greene at the
proper time, while MI. Proctor was
thought to be getting in line to run
for the governorship on the west side
two years later and thus interefer-
ing with plans of others in that di-
rection. Judge Gibson on the other
hand, it has been suggested, might
be getting into line to try to succeed
Congressman Dale. However no can
didacy has yet been formally an
nounced.
Strangely enough political fence
building for the state ticket as
whole has waited in part on the out
come of the trial of Ex-Governor Ora
ham. If he were found guilty, his
practices might involve still others,
and there has been a feeling that a
strong effort would be made to avoid |
a trial which would bring out dis
agreeable developments. If he could
be prevailed upon to reach some
agreement with the state that would
prevent the necessity Of taking elab
crate testimony, All danger to others,
political and otherwise, would be
be avoided and the way
would be open for renewal of politi-
cal contests in the State along the
old lines. If there were to be a gen
eral showing up of conditions such
as the people as a whole expected
when Governor Clement was elected,
it is difficult to say how the organiza-
ton might be affected.
In the meantime judging from dis
cusslon the governorship itself seems
% lie between Lieutenant-Go
Stone and Judge Gibson as a soldier
with Curtis Emery, being
advocate in several instances and
with former Representative Fraser
Metzger of Randolph, as a new pos

county strength with Emery in case

situation today and we shall try to
