According to Editor Otto r. Bennett Of
resent the newspaper fraternity in the
House as we'll as his own town In the
coming session, the speakership situation
is rapidly clearing itself with the aid Of
the whirlgig Of time and the battle OF
the ballots. Various first year" aspir-
ants for the speakership have been men,
toned by home newspapers. but expert
ence Is universally recognized as one of
the first essentials of speaker of the
House. Editor Bennett says;
The elimination of Charles s. Dana OF
New Haven. and NJ. H. Alexander. Of St.
Adams, from the race for the speaker
ship of the General Assembly leaves the
neld pretty open and It looks very much
as though the Windsor county aspirant,
Col. Frederick 3. Billings, had fine
chance of winning the coveted honor.
The Hon. Hale X. Darling. who he's boon

DECENCY AND MORALA

We are glad the Greek Court has de-
cided the marriage Of the late King Alex
ander with Aspasia Manos to be valid.
This means that her son 10 legitimate an
well as that the late Kings property will
go to her and her child Ex-King Con-
stantine asked the court to declare the
marriage void because the wife was not
Of royal blood. and the marriage was ac-
cordmgy morganatic. The compliance
of the court with this request would
have disgraced both mother and Con-
stantine's grandson. European scions of
royalty have too long acted on the sup
position that they could marry a woman
Of no rank and then desert her "for
reasons of state" Truly the world is
becoming genuinely democratic" in more
senses than one.

THE PASSING OF NOME

F'rom the Spokane Spokesman Review
The annual fall exodus leaves fewer
than 2h0 people, in the once famous.
though always desolate, beach camp of
Nome. Returning Alaskans say the cur
tain is all but drawn on the old camp
where, In the summer of 1928 nearly
15,nO0 people surged. swore, fought and
oarcused.
Nome has gone the way Of scores of
fitfu placer camps. It's story is the tale
in another setting of Orofino. Pierce
City. Warrens and Florence of the early
COS in northern Idaho; of the North
Fork placer camps Of the Occur d'Alenes
in the early sos; of Central City and
Leadville, in Colorado. of wasted camps
in Montana and southern Idaho. In Brit
ish Columbia, Oregon and Nevada, TO
say nothing Of the wild days Of the sos
in California.
Exceptions to the rule of hectic activity
and quick decay are Helena, site of
one-time noted placer camp. and the
fine city Of Denver. where. in the sum-
mer OF 1853, James n. Pierce PANIED out
a little gold from a sandbar near the
mouth of Cherry creek n discovery that
fired the expectations Of thousands and
started the historic rush to Pixies peak
country
The fine and progressive city Of Lew
iston Idaho, is another exception to the
rule of oblivion that has been the al
most unfail!ng fate of placer camps.
While. strictly speaking. Lewiston was
not placer camp, gut the outfitting
point. at the head of steamboat naviga-
ton. for the stampede into the Clear
water region in the early SOS. it was n
placer camp in all its respects and in the
wild spirit Of early-day gold hunting.
With the sailing away of the steam
ship Victoria. bearing $50 Nome residents,
most Of whom announced their purpose
never to return. the broodng spirit Of
melancholy came in with the long. long
winter. Again the VOLTS long howl Is
heard on Ounalaska's lonely shore" and
the little remnant Of population is left
with memories and disappointed hopes.
Yet a few will cling to the deserted
beach to the last breath of life. for such
is the unfail,ng record of every famous
camp, to live over again in memory,
through the long arctic nights, the stir
ring scenes Of 20 years ago.

settled communities should have a good

~ said IT was important--I doubt very
much IL there is anything of equal i'm
portance or any importance at all be-
sides the work that you are carrying
on 1t is a satisfaction to me to know
that this Is being more and more recog-
ni1ed every day. that the public are
not satisfied merely to build the school,
house. furnish 1t out with all the equip
ment with which our modern school,
houses are furnished, but they see the
necessity OF putting into the school,
house men and women equipped In every
way to be an inspiration to the chill
dren over whom they have jurisdiction"
Gov. Coolidge thus shows that YER
mont's school problem is the problem Of
Massachusetts, only in larger way
IT must be solved and it must be solved

think about it the greater will this school

n,TTER FARMING

NO matter how effective work we may
be doing in our particular lines, we are
not satisfied. II we are really progress
ing. The moment any individual reaches
a point OF satisfaction with present re-
suits that moment The individual In quss-
ton has already besua to 20 back. The
attitude o: mind 10 positive proof OF this
fact. Thla is Just az true Of farming as
OF Newspaper work. or any other service.
The public good demands increased pro-
ducfion In various lines. and yet We hear
OF different industries stopping opera
tions- Vermont farming can never afford
20 stop its full production. with the i'm
proved msihodg 0. marketing advocated
by Governor olect Hartners, thsre will al
ways 10 demand somewhere IN the coun-
try for any surplus Vermont farms may
produce. Az It is now our people would
D. surprised Il they could know how
many comnodit!es our own farms should
produce are being imported from other
States.
To aid Vermont farmers in Increasing
their revenue as we'll ~ their products
is one OF the objects Of tho short course
instituted at the University Of Vermont
and State Agricultural College. or this
course the Barre Times we'll says:
''Those who are engaged in agriculture
are finding the winter short courses Of
fnr h,. o~t.
at the University of Vermont to be very
helpful in practical work as the sub
jects considered are along lines that come
IN IN everyday life Of the farmer A new
les Of courses will be started in the
month Of December. and it would seem
to be to the advantage Of the farmers
of Vermont to take these courses If ar
rangements can be made. To residents Of
Vermont the tuition In these courses is
free. the only charges made by the uni
versity being incidental fees to pay for
I the materials used by the students In
the course. Vermonters ought to take
advantage of the efforts made In their
"'""t ny eHi"ii'"s III these courses IN
large numbers"
The Rutland Herald comments on this
course for farmers as follows:
THE winter short courses on aRricul-
ture. to be given this winter at the Uni
versty Of Vermont. are something that
young men who are training for progress
sive farming ought to cultivate. The tut
ton is free TO Vermonters and the cost
is small compared with the benefit that
may he had therefrom"
| Every farmer who can possibly do so
should take advantage Of this opportu-
nifty to equip himself for better and more
profitable farming.
