Hiring Help.
(Rutland Herald

When employers get to stealing the
employees of their fellow employers it is
an indication that business morality has
reached pretty low leyel.-MontpelieI

1t is level most of them reach wher
they are short of help rattleboro Re

Strictly speaking, employers -espe
cially employers in the same line o.
work-should respect business ethics SC
far as trying to hire employees away from
each other is concerned, but there is sucl
thing as OVERRIDING it.
Employees are usually looking fol
opportunities for advancement, fnan
cially, socially and in the way of pro
motion. When they let it become known

much.

The Barre Times ably maintains that
Curtis S. Emery of Newport, one of
the Republican candidates for governor,
is not super man but a man among
men. In proof of this it mentions that
Mr. Emery has served thirteen years
as county clerk, four years as town
representative, ten years as county COM
missioner, two years as county senator
and nine years as collector of customs
In addition to this he has served one
term as mayor of Newport and some
time as county clerk and as county pro-
baton officer. This totals more than
forty years of public office holding and
suggests the thought that while Mr.
Emery may not be a superman he IS q
super Office holder

Vermont at Chicago.
tSt. Adams Messenger. J

The Messenger believes that it must be
apparent that there is in Vermont no
such tremendous enthusiasm for any of
the candidates for the Republican presi-
dental nomination to warrant there be-
ing sent from this state pledged dele
cation to the Chicago convention. If be-
tween now and the date of the state
convention such enthusiasm should mani
fest itself, there might be some justitica
tion for sending our delegates out under
strict orders.
But failing this we ought to content
ourselves with selecting as delegates men
in whom we have complete confidence as
to their loyalty to Republicanism and
the best good of the country, with the
simple instruction that they do Their
duty as they see it in the actual setting
of the convention. We have men of
caliber equal to the task and we should
employ them. If we are to give instruc-
tons we can send anyone who is accus-
toned to obey orders and need have no
other concern as to the personnel.
But Vermont would not be satisfied
with mere rubber stamp delegation
especially in these days when no man can
tell what is likely to happen at Chicago
Not in long period of years has the
national situation been so up i'll the
air" The Republicans really have what
might almost be called a wealth of good
material from which to select. But there
are many influences at work which have
to be considered in making a selection
between good men. Many of these in
; fluences will not develop their real sig
pificanrp until no convention is actual
in session.
| What is needed by the party is mer
who will interpret Alright the Significance
of contributory influences. Vermont
must send such men. Other states must
do the same. And sending them, We
must leave it to their judgment. Sucl
should be the controlling influence al
Montpelier this month if conditions re
main as they are. Those who woulC
pledge our delegation to any one candi
date should be made to give convincing
reasons for their position. Failing this
the delegation should be unpledged

Going to Market.
iSpringfield Union.

The pictures of the happy housewife
planning her daily peals or gaily trudg
ing to market, which once were so preva-
lent, are appearing unfrequently now,
and when they do, they are Earring
note For the housewife is no longer
happy planning menus or marketing. 1t
is almost funny to see the discouraged
way in which the housewives wander into
market. They 90 restlessly from one
part of the store to another, they look
longingly at certain choice things and
then turn away with sigh, trying to
find something more suitable to the
household pocketbook; they exciaim al
the high price of certain commodities, and
then buy large quantity of it because
they are certain it will 60 higher; they
turn from winter vegetables which arc
high to canned vegetables, which arc
still higher; they buy flour and then re
fleet that-counting in the cost of fuel
it may be cheaper to buy bakers bread
In fact, they don't know which way to
turn and they're peevish and discomfort
| ed No. there is no such thing as tho
happy housewife these days; in some re
spects she is the most forlorn creature OF
earth.

BEWARE OF HYSTERIA.

The national campaign for the presi- |
dency has reached the stage where en-
thusiastic ''workers" are succumbing |
to attacks of hysteria and are making
unwarranted and unbelievable state
ments and charges. The latest out
break of hysteria is by the California
managers of Senator Johnson's cam
paign for the presidential nomination
in which the Hoover organization in
that state is charged with spending
enormous quantities of money. 1t also
tends to connect Mr.. Hoover himself
with this undesirable form of political
activity.
From this distance it is impractical
t. secure the truth of the matter, but
Vormonters will be slow in believing
/ that Mr.. Hoover has in any way en-
couraged or approved of the use of an
improper amount of money in promot
ing his campaign 1t will be recalled
| that Immediately after the close of the
California primary it was charged that
the Johnson organization had spent
large amounts of money in certain sec,
tions Of that state and the enormous
johnson vote in those sections, sup
! posed to contain a large purchasablC
vote, was pointed out as evidence OF
the use of money there This counter
charge of the johnson forces on thu
Hoover men sounds more like g You RI
another than real evidence of politi
cal rottcnness in the Hoover camp.
Major General Wood has been tn
subject of similar charges without evi
dence to support them. The genera
says he knows of no large sums o
money being expended in his behalf ant
naively remarks that if any candidat
has less money TO use than he, he i
sorry for him.
These charges and counter charge
should be taken with a grain of sal
and the people should remember tn
time is ripe for an epidemic of politi
cal hvstcria Neither Herbert Hove
nor General Wood are men the publ
distrusts and the charges made againS
them tends to show that the oppositio
to them is losing ground and is con
