John F. Nugent, who is to be renomi-
mated for United States senator by the
Democrats of Idaho in the primaries
to be held this week, is now filing out
the unexpired term of the late Senator
James II. Brady. Previous to receiving
appointment to the senatorship Mr. Nu-
gent had long been active in Demo
cratic politics in Idaho and had filed
the important post of chairman of the
state committee. As a lawyer he has
long enjoyed high standing in his
home state. He began the practice of
his profession in Silver City, and later
moved to Boise. One of his most i'm
portant cases in which he won renown
was that involving the killing of for
mer Governor Steunenberg at Caldwell,
in which he served as one of the coun-
sci for the Western Federation of
miners

Prof. Wright's Career.
(Springfeld Republican. J


The official "swan song of Prof
Charles B. Wright of Middlebury col
lege is in print, following its delivery
as an address to the Christian associa-
lions of the college at the recent com
mencement. Prof. Wright has for 50
years been at the head of the depart
ment of rhetoric and English literature
and is now retiring as professor emer-
titus. He has seen the college buildings
.auadrupled in number, the faculty in
creased fivefold and the student body
tenfold during his tenure of office, and
has himself established a local record
Tor length of service as head of de-
partment He has taught more Middle
bury students than any other man, less
than $50 of the living alumni not be-
ing his pupils, and every woman with
q Middlebury degree has been in his
classes. For five years DR.. Wright was
dean and in 1913 was acting president
while President Thomas was in national
service. While Dr. Wright has not
achieved widespread publicity by writ
ing books as some of his compeers in
other institutions have done, he has
written himself into the lives of his
students and his townspeople as a gem
timely human man whom to know was
tonic and an incentive to the best
living and thinking.

An Impossibility.

Usually we accept without mental
reservation of any kind all plain state
ments of fact that appear in the st.
Adams Messenger, but when that jour
nal AYERS that an automobile, sup
posed to be headed for the moist Can
adam border--or perhaps away from
it speeded through the streets of
that city at rate of 60 miles an hour
we back up. No human contrivance,
made of materials on or within the
earth, could possibly achieve this if,
as of necessity, it had to follow the
contours of st. Adams streets. It
might, under the great stress and by
careful guidance have made six miles
an hour at certain points between the
foot of Johnnycake hill and the car
barns, but anything beyond that record
is open to suspicion if the vehicle came
through intact and the passengers had
no bones broken 1t would be more
credible that Packard Law in crushed
fragments, with its occupants under
meath, at the bottom of one of those
cavities or canyons that pit the per-
manent roadbeds of the Railroad city
than that anything depending upon
traction had gone fast enough there
to knock two "silent policemen Is

Light Up Tine Teams.
BARRE Times.)

The petition of Windsor county eiti-
zens to the Vermont secretary of state
to bring prosecutions against the drivers
OF horses who fail to equip their vehi-
cies with lights at night finds ample sup
port in the minds of MANY peopIe in
every part of the state, where the law
requiring such lights is being broken
night after night while automobiles are
promptly brought to book if their We
hieles are not equipped as the law re
qulres. There should not be a law for
one user of the highway and none fpr
other when it is just as reasonable that
the teams be equipped with lights as it
is that automobiles should carry lights.
The Windsor county petition has been
referred to the proper authorities, the
prosecuting officers of the county; and
it is to be hoped that crusade will be
undertaken there which will force the
equipment of all horse-drawn vehicles,
used at night, with lights.

A Massachusetts, judge has imposed
a rather novel penalty upon violators
of the automobile laws in that state
by requiring the father of the offender
to pledge himself in court to keep the
youthful criminal from using an auto
mobile for a given period. The penalty
is no worse than the suspension of a
license by the state but it makes the
father responsible for his sons observ-
ance of the law.

MONDAY, AUGUST %, 1920.
CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES.

But little attention has been given
the announcement of a meeting of the
state commission appointed to consider
and recommend amendments to the
state constitution at Montpelier tomor-
row. Possibly inability of the popular
mind to grapple with such weighty
questions is responsible for this indif-
ference but any citizen interested in
the matter should bear in mind such
a meeting is to be held and that sug
gestions from the public are invited.
Thirteen propositions are mentioned
in the notice of the meeting, some of
which will receive little consideration.
Among the propositions are frightening
the term of town representatives, fill
ing vacancies in the office of town rep
resentatives, and establishing a mini
mum population to entitle town to
a representative.
That provision for filing a vacancy
in the office of town representative is
necessary is so generally conceded that
there can be little if any opposition to
it. Lengthening the term of town rep
resentative may draw out some opposi
ton but the fixing of the terms of rep
resentatives so only one-third of the
representatives would be elected in one
year would give every legislature two
thirds experienced members and, we be-
lieve, materially expedite legislation.
The most active opposition we suspect
will be from men who feel such
change would restrict the number of
citizens who could serve a term in the
legislature. This would raise the ques-
ton whether a Vermont legislature
should be an institution to distribute
political honor to the greatest number
of citizens or an efficient body for the
enactment of necessary legislation
There can be little doubt that an eff
cient law-making body would be of
greater advantage to the state.
Limiting the population entitled to
have a representative in the legisla-
ture is a more serious matter and sure
to meet with considerable opposition.
1t is evident, however, that the present
town divisions of the state have failed
to maintain live and efficient municipal
tiles in Vermont. At present the towns
represent acreage rather than people,
owing to the radical change in places
6
most of their population to the indus
trial centers of Vermont and elsewhere.
They have lost in the industrial con-
test and the question is shall they con
tinue to possess a legal existence2 We
think not, and that general revision
of town lines based on the natural cen
ters of the state would be beneficial. So
many small towns as the state pos
sesses at present causes unnecessarily
expensive town and state governments.
One hundred and fifty townships in
Vermont would give ample local gov
eminent for the residents of the state,
would reduce by nearly one hundred
the number of town representatives
town clerks, town treasurers, town
overseers of the poor, more than a hun
bred town road commissioners, nearly
three hundred town selectmen, town
listers and town school commissioners.
The saving in salaries would be great
and would not deprive the people of
necessary local government.
We would suggest an amendment to
the state constitution limiting the num-
