PRESSUIPPINGS
One Constitutional Change Para
mount.
(Rutland Herald)

Rutland Herald)
Now is the time for the thoughtful
and progressive citizen to suggest
any amendments that should be made
to the state constitution. Ihere Is
opportunity only once in decade TO
change the fundamental structure,
and 1920 is the year. Furthermore,
Vermonters will never have a wiser
or more able state commission to con-
slider and submit the amendments
than the one now in existence.
Vermont's paramount need, as The
Rutland News views it, is a change IN
the system of representation in the
state legislature. From the begin
ming. each town and city has had one
representative. The system was
adapted all right to early conditions,
but for several years 1t has been no
toriously unfair and unjust.
The time has come when some
towns have only a handful of voters
i'm fact, one town now has only
single voter-and each one of these
towns has the same numerical
strength in the law-making body as
Rutland, or Burlington, or St. Adams
or Barre or Bennington, with their
thousands of voters. 1t is absolutely
ridiculous, as well as inequitable.
Furthermore, a smaller legislature
say 80 to 100 members-would be
more efficient and more economical
than the one of 240-odd members as
at present The constitution should
provide for district representation on
a population basis. As it is, 1t is
acres and square miles that are rep
resented, rather than people. This is
Sh
cription.
= Three or four or more towns lying
adjacent would have just as ade-
quate representation with one mem
Der in a body of 80 or 100 as they
have at present A representative
doesn't necessarily have to live In a
town to help make laws that are fair
to it. A legislator from some other
town nearby knows thoroughly con-
ditions in his section and would act
Loyalty and intelligently. There is
every reason for a smaller legisla-
ture based on population basis.
Of course, if the revision commits
sion submits to the legislature this
proportion it doesn't necessarily
mean that it favors its adoption. In
deed, it might specifically state that
it submitted it merely to give the peo-
pie opportunity to vote on 1t. The
legislature in all fairness should then
submit the amendment to the people.
To refuse to do so would be unrepre-
sentative and unfair; it would be
downright cowardly.
The people want a chance to vote
on this question and they should have
it. The regular procedure would be
for the state commission to submit 1t
| to the next general assembly and for
that body in turn to refer it to the
voters. Then abide by the result OF
the referendum. The people, the ma
I jority, should rule; they should have
opportunity to express their opinion
on this question

Mormonism in Vermont.
(St. Adams Messenger

Mormon history had its start right
here IN Vermont, with the birth IN
Sharon in 1905 of Joseph Smith, the
founder of the religion which took
like wild fire when he began to
preach it.
The story is that Smith, when Is
years of age, became agitated about
religious matters and one day, af-
ter going into the woods to pray, he
was suddenly confronted by two per-
sonages standing in the air, sight
to arrest the attention of anyone
By one of these personages Smith
was told not to join any of the exist
ing churches because none of them
was right, the creed of all of them
being an abomination in the sight of
God
This first vision was followed by
another three years after at which
time a heavenly being told Smith of a
book which was written on golden
pages and buried by former inhabi-
tants of this continent The boy was
to discover the plates and translate
them, which he did four years after
at Palmyra, n. Y. His translation
was the book of Mormon.
/ This is the story that is told of the
/ beginning of Mormonism. What
4 not many Gentiles will believe in the
supernatural elements, it is true that
the Mormon church was quickly or
ganized and that 1t hourished.
Smith and his followers the next
year started west and by stages ar
rived at independence, Mo-, where
| they set up what was TO be the heart
/ of Zion. The rate at which believers
began to flock to the place gave
alarm to the non-Mormons, who hur-
ried the newcomers across the Mis-
souri, river.
The next stopping place was at
Nauvoo. H., where many converts
from England arrived to swell the
numbers of Smiths followers En-
gland has always been a fertile field
! for the Mormon missionaries so there
IS nothing new In the fact that many
English converts are now awaiting
passage to this country.
But the Gentiles again drove the
Mormons out Joseph Smith and his
brother, Hyrun, were shot and killed
/ IN the jail at Carthage, Ill. while
awaiting trial Brigham Young as
sumed leadership and established the
new church in its Utah home where
t has remained ever since And 1t
/ has DroSDered-
oucn IN DrIeI Is the history OF Nor
monism, OF peculiar interest to Yer
monters because its founder was a
native of this commonwealth. Yearly
Normons come TO the state to make
the pilgrimage to the birthplace of
the founder
And yet the state has not taken
kindly to the religion" Smith gave to
the world. as is evidenced by the de-
sire OF the contemporary that the
Burlington people give these follow
ers Of BRIGHAM Young the sort of re-
ception they should receive
There isn't much danger that this
RELIGION" analogous in many ways
70 Mohanmedanism, and which gives
an anti-Christian impression. will
flourish in this state And yet, Yer
mont produced one Mormon too many

The secretary of state had report
ed to him during September the
startling average number of II auto
mobile accidents for each day. No
doubt ten of these were unnecessary
accidents, due to carelessness on the
part of someone. Let every opera
tor of an automobile resolve TO be
more careful-keep his car under alb
solute control at all times. And then
let pedestrians make few resolves,
too. Carelessness in one place is
perhaps just as great as carelessnsss
in the other.

Explanation Demanded of Gov. Glen.
emit.

Vermont's sons of 1917, the ex-ser-
vice men who represented the Green
Mountain state on the battlefields of
France and in the reserve camps of
Europe and America, assembled In
the first state convention of the
American Legion in Burlington last
week, made a dat-footed demand up
on Governor P. W. Clement, who was
occupying a seat on the platform of
the convention, that he explain GER
tain letter bearing his signature in
which were statements considered by
the Legion representatives as insult
ing to men who wore the uniform of
the United States army in the world
war
The demand came from Mai. H.
Nelson Jackson of Burlington, dec
GRATED twice by the French and once
by the American government for
bravery in the medical CORPS, who
was temporary chairman. A storm
of applause from the floor of the con-
vention hall greeted the words of
Maj. Jackson, while not a voice was
! raised in defence of the Governor.
Gov. Clement had already address
ed the convention before there was
any mention of the letter. In voice
which shook with emotion he stated
his position. The explanation was
not satisfactory to the convention and
Maj. jackson asked for a more sub
stantial one. Gov. Clement sad he
would write another letter denying
any intention of putting a slur upon
Vermont's soldiers or any legitimate
wearers of the uniform of the United
States army. This was agreeable tn
the convention delegates and they
await the writing of the letter.
! The letter in question was written
to DR.. ID. A Thorn, pschiatrist in
charge of the reconstruction war
work, national committee for mental
hygiene, 80 Union square, New York.
and was IN answer to letter sent
Oct TO the governor asking If
there were employment agencies in
Vermont which could be utilized to
assist shell-shocked soldiers to oh
tain positions.
To this letter the governor sent the
following answer:
Replying to your letter of Oct. 9th
we have in this state a large number
of men looking for just such Jobs as
You describe, men who wish to find
positions, where they can draw LARGO
salaries and have little or nothing to
do | NAV say that the woods nm
here are full of them. We have M
state employment agencies that ara
interested in finding work for these
men, nor do we pay railroad fares ar
other exDenses-the men lust have
70 shift for themselves. Nv idea is
that our supply of men who are wait
ing Tor the government to serve them
something on silver platter exceeds
the demand, and / think there is No
opportunity for taking on an add
tional suDDly from other states ar tha
present time OA.e
Il know of no deserving cases in
TINS state which have not already re-
eelVed careful attention and care on
Cne part OF friends, relatives or vari-
Gus committees in communities.

New York Adopts Light Saving.
randolph Herald)

With the general passing out of
daylight saving, there are communi-
ties likely to cling TO it. New York
City Is one of these. The municipal
government has ordered that next
summer the clocks shall be set ahead
an hour, during the long-day period.
1t Is considered probable that the en-
tire state may follow suit. Just
what the effect would be on the rela-
tons between New York ard the out
side world Is something OF q poser.
Much confusion might follow. There
IS one way that any community so
disposed may save that hour of day
light without any mixup and that is
for the residents TO arise an hour
earlier IN the morning. It is 1--WE
understand the best hour IN the day
and we mean 70 investigate the mat
ter next year, II we don't forget 1t
sooner.

Governor Clements reply to New
York agencies striving to assist re-
turned soldiers, who have been shell
shocked, as read before the Legion
convention in Burlington, only goes
to prove the assertion made by this
paper several times that Governor
Clement is out of step and SYM
pathy with the people. His action
in keeping Vermont from being one
of the first SO states to ratify prohib-
ition, his refusal to call a special ses-
sion of our legislature to act upon
the present suffrage amendment and
the letter first above referred TO sim
ply show Clement to be so out of
touch with the people as to make him
really unfit for an executive. P. ".
Clement may be a shrewd business
man, he may be wise, and he may be
wealthy, but he lacks that human
touch which makes man either pop
Ular or successful as an official.
Clement rode into the gubernatorial
chair on promises of a business ad-
ministration, and we suppose his
champions could make up some kind
of defense of his administration,
but IN the minds of the common peo-
pie Governor Clement ranks below
the average of those who have occu-
pied the chief executives chair in
