Frank w. Agan of Ludlow became candi4
date for governor at the SUGGESTION Of members
of this club. We felt that the time was ripe for
an organized protest against the attempt Of or
gained minorities to control our government.
We believed that the protest of 1876 Vermont
towns ought to be needed. We considered him
we'll qualified to represent us and the people of
Vermont as chief executive of the state
No person. special interest political organization
controls Frank W. Agan His life character public con
duct and private enterprise abundant proof of his
ability and fitness. II he is chosen to serve the people
of Vermont their governor, he will give them the
careful able and conscientious service that he has
always given his community and associates.
His opponents claim that the issue is set
tied for all time We claim that nothing settled
until settled right. The decision of the SUI
preme Court of the United States instead of settling
the question: has made the enforcement of the 18th
amendment issue in every state every congressional
district, every county and town in this and every
other state. =.
The bone-dry Volstead and the bone-dry amend
go together but the Supreme Court says that Con-
gress declare what Intoxicating liquor really is
Congress says that onehaf of per alcohol
is Intoxicating, but everybody knows differently
Congressmen will be elected this fall on onehaf of one
per platforms, per cent five per cent and
haps 10 per Gent platforms.
This is certain the fact that the people of
Vermont-not the politicians the AntSaloon league
thoroughly disguised with the Volstead act and
the amendment that the Vostead act passed to
force. r -s ~
If Congress- should pass a law declaring three per
cent liquor Notwithstanding, Vermont pass law

way-three per less. If Vermont should pass
a done-half per law it wouldn't hold but
if Vermont should passa tor one-anda
half onehalf-of-one per cent law would hold Kind
of one-sided law, isn't?
Don't you suppose that there will be per cent,
per cent five cent and perhaps 10 cent cand

fall? We say and say this thing is back in poll

Isn't it in politics this minute? Haven't we two

Volstead-act candidates and modification candidate
Don't you suppose there will be one, two, three, five
and perhaps 10 per candidates for the Legislature
in your town and others? We say there will be-
If you're satisfied with this sort of thing,
don't vote for Agan. Vote for one of his OPP
ponents. But if you believe that 155 men vio-
lated their oaths of office when they voted away
our constitutional rights, our personal liberty
and our right to be heard on this and every
other ISSUE vote for Frank w .Agan.
He will voice your protest and make you a

BE A GENTLEMAN.
You IAN grow rich and rise to fame,
Life's highest prizes you can claim,
And prove your skill and prove your
might,
And still be kindly and polite.
You can grow great without c%onccit.
Can be a friend to all you meet.
And have a cheerful word to say,
And still get far along life's way.
You do not need to wear a frown
To come to glory or renown;
You IAN succeed in any sphere.
And still respect your neighbors here.
You need not treat your fellows i'll
To prove that you're a man Of skill;
Just look about you and you'll find
The biggest men arc also kind.
You need not wear a stony face
To hold your station or your place,
You can do all that mortals can,
And still remain a gentleman.

would IL. number 81 dis.ati.fied ones

Would the number OF dissatisfied ones
be limited TO ten per cent?
Farming Is not. any more than any
other business, entirely q bed Of
roses. The farmer has his difficulties
to contend with. The greatest OF
these today is the price Of farm la
Dor and the difficulty In obtaining
competent. dependable labor at n
price. The high wages that are now
paid. in the factories and in the in
dustrial occupations generally have
attracted much of, the labor that for.
merly went to the farms. This pre-
sents a. real problem, and a difficult
one. especially for the farmer whose
operations r on a scale which de-
mands much hired labor. Tho an
swer seems to lie in the direction of
the smaller farm, where the owner
will be less dependent on hired help.
and on greater divcrsification, which
ployed on a more permanent basis.
City life has always had its attrac-
lions for farm youth. Many children
born on the farm belong in the city.
Their talents and temperament fit
them for the activities Of the city
rather than for those Of the farm.
Fitness : or unfitness can be deter
mined only by experiment. But those
who are attracted by the glitter of
the city are quite apt to find that it
is merely the glitter Of tinsel. and
many who have made this discovery
have been glad to return to the farm,
find their real comfort and endur-
ing prosperity. The solution of the
problem which is presented in this
situation is being facilitated by many
modern agencies, the telephone, the
good roads, and other
things which enable the individual to
maintain contact with the life of the
city without surrendering any por-
ton Of the independence which is 30
strongly characteristic of American
farm life.

inspiring than that delivered on FIR
day evening by Michael j. Bowling
has yer been given in Grand Forks
it was not the good fortune OF The
Herald to hear it. Mr.. bowling
presence itself is an inspiration.
Cruelty manned in his early youth,
left in a condition which made him
apparently helpless and hopeless, he
set to work doggedly and cheerfully
to conquer circumstances and master
fate, and he has made a greater ma
terial success in life than the aver
age man who has suffered no lin
juries, and has retained the use of
all his members. That alone is a
remarkable achievement. and one
which invites the attention of every
n as a demonstration Of what
courage and h%opcfulness can ac-
,complish.
But Mr.. Bowling has done more
than make a good living for himself
and to provide comfortably for his
family. Refusing to accept as a
burden that which fate had as
signed to him, ne has gone about the
country aiding other men to cast
similar loads from their own should
RS He has brought cheer to the
sorrovful, hope to the respondent.
and has brought to vigorous life the
spirit of manhood in souls defeated
and deso1ate. q
The message which Mr.. Bowling
brought to us was a message Of
cheer and helpfulncss. 1t was q
stimulus to action. an inspiration to
helpfulnesa. and an impressive DEM
onstration Of what a clean minded,
high spirited American boy can do.

THREE ~DE,MoRAc1m.,

Russia under the cars has not
usually been considered a democracy.
Yet there was that in it which passed
for democracy-of a sort. This was
the zemstzvo, or local communal
government This institution -four
ished through a large agricultural
district, the conditions of life favor
ing its operation. In those districts
the farmers do not live on their
farms. They live in struggling viii
lagos. and go back and forth to Gull
tivate their lands, which are often
at a considerable distance.
These village communities had a
form of LOCAL self government. They
elected certain Of their officials, and
made regulations for the general at
fairs Of the community. But over all
was the authority of the car. exer-
cized through his minions. Local
laws unsatisfactory to the car were
snmmarily suspended, and local Of
fcials who did not meet with his APP
proval were removed without cere-
mony. The people who had passed
these unsatisfactory laws and elected
these unacceptable edlcials were, for
tunate il they, themselves, were not
punished for their ternertty in do
ing so.
That was democracy a. it existed
under the car.
Under the soviet government there
Still exists what Is asserted to be de-
n1ocracy. Many Of the village coun-
ellis function about as they did in tho
days of he old regime. They enact
laws and establish rules for the con-
duet Of local affairs. They elect Of
fciais to carry these regulations into
enect. But over and above them il

 J. Manley InzeF, tax adjuster for St. Clair county, was in Ragland Monday and Tuesday
 Some of the citizens of Ragland thought of Senator Watt T. Brown as fit man to fill the vacancy ill the United States Senate caused by the death of Senator John H. Bankhead, and a group of his friends met him at the train Tuesday morning upon his arrival from Birmingham to question him as to his feelings regarding the matter. He expressed his apprecia- tion. but said that owing to his duties as chairman of the board of control of the proposed Alabama School of Trades and Industries of Ragland, for which he is a very ardent worker, he could not accept the office if it were offered him, since he felt that his services in behalf of the school were of more im- portance.
