MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1920.
GET "a ME POLLs EARLY.

If some voter should be unable to get
into a voting booth and mark his bal
lot before the polls are declared closed
tomorrow afternoon he would be greatly
disappointed and not likely to forget his
disappointment for the next four years.
But with the increased numbsr of voters
this year it is not at all impossible that
there will be congestion during the clos
lug hours of voting. For women it will
be more convenient to go to the polls in
the afternoon and the men should re-
member this and get their votes,
wherever possible in carly. Women who
can get to the polls during the morning
hours will be likely tn find more leisure
and less confusion in marking their bal
lots than will be possible in the after
noon.
The law can be better observed if the
voters come early in the day than during
the rush work during the closing hours.
It is hoped the law will be more closely
observed than it was in the primary
election. Remember. first of all you are
expected to go into a voting booth alone
hold no conversation with others or al
low anyone else, whether election officer
or friend. to enter the booth while you
are in it. The law gives you this Sc
crecy that you may vote according to
your own conscience without reward or
penalty. Voting is not n social func-
ton and there should be no attempt to
carry sOciability into voting booth.
In case voter wants instruction or as
sistance in marking his ballot he should
inform the presiding officer who will di-
rect him to booth where two assist
ing clerks are located, one of each of
the leading parties, and the voter should
get his assistance or information in the
presence of both Of them. These as
sisting clerks should be assigned to GER
tain booths and not leave their booth
to witness voting in any other booth in
the hall.
Also remember that every ballot given
YOU must be returned to the presiding
officer to be placed in the ballot box
whether you have marked it or not
Each ballot should be- folded separately
and in a manner that will not show how
it has been marked These are simple
requirements everyone can observe, but
their observance is important because
the law provides a secret ballot for the
purpose of securing honest voting in
every election.
Vote early and according to law.

October comes! the Emperor of the

With eager eyes We see his form ap-
pear;
Not tricked in glittering gauds and scar

But bold and virile as an ostrogoth !!
Swiftly he strides across the frOst-found
field
With brazen helmet and his ox-hide
shield,
And in the MONDAY splendor, soon to
fade.
Against the sky we see his spear dis
played.
\ skin-clad Hercules whose stern ad-
vance
And purpose show upon his counter
ance;
Whose voice, bull-throated, roars across

OF ravished meads and brings the leaf

Austere he is. yet glory in his train
Appears, departs, and re-appears

And panoramic splendor even now
CLOVIS in his eye and rests upon his
brow!

A Bone of Contention.
(BartOn Monitor.)


The promised fight of c. II. Stearns
of Johnson and those who favor Johnson
and Castleton normal schools, will ma
terialize all right. Advocates of the
continuance of the old schools do not
appear to be limited to Mr.. Stearns and
to purely local territory, but find a
rather broad sympathy among very many
of the common people of the state as
well as among some educators. One
thing is most earnestly to be hoped, and
that is the final and full settlement of
this eternal question of training teach
ers in Vermont, will be had. 1t has
been an issue and a bone of contention
for the past several decades, has pro-
duced factions and friction among pub
lie officials and has hindered progress in
our school system. Whatever the leg
islature does concerning the question
let all determine beforehand that the
plan evolved will be given full and
hearty support.

WHY HE CHOSE THE VIOLET.
An Explanation of Napoleon's Choice
of a Floral Emblem

AL hApidhaI1on OF Napoleon's Choice
of Floral Emblem.
Why was the violet selected az the
floral emblem of the House of Bonanarto9
Why was that traditionally modest
shrinking little flower chosen bv so ag,
gresslve a character as Napoleon l.?
The subject was recalled with renewed
interest recently by the various anec-
dotes printed of the late Empress En-
gene several of them dwelling on her
1ondness for violets, the flower of the
Bonapartes. The following is an inter
estlng explanation of the matter. given
by an authority on the Bonaparte family.
Edward Legge, author of "tThe Empress
Eugene" book that aroused consid-
eranle comment ten years ago.
According to Mr.. Legge, three days be-
lore Napoleon l. embarked for Elba. the
great emperor, still undecided whether
he would resign himself to his Danish
ment, was walking in the gardens at
Fontainebleau. The Due de Bassano was
arguing that the time for withdrawal was
past and Napoleon was much excited.
He saw a child gathering violets and
asked for them The boy gave them, and
after a few minutes the emperor. who
had not replied to the Due hitherto, re-
marked:
The accident of this occurrence is a
secret hint to me to follow the example
of these modest flowers. Yes. gentlemen.
henceforth the violet shall be the en-
blem of my wishes"
General Bertrand expressed the hope
that Napoleon's resolution might last
longer than the flowers which had in
spired it. The next day Napoleon was
seen walking about the gardens with
bunch of violets and stopping to pick
some from bed. A grenadier on guard
suggested that it would be easier to pick
them in a years time-they would be
more plentiful. In answer to the EN-
peror's questions the man informed him
that almost all his comrades, as we'll as
he, hoped he would come back from FL
ha before the year was out. On return
ing to his barracks this grenadier told
his comrades about the Emperor's vio-
let's, and they began to call Bonaparte
'Pere Ia Violette, - which led to the ad-
herents of the ex-emperor wearing the
flower as a memorial in the spring
New York Times.

The greatest problem in civic i'm
provement," says the North Adams Her
aid, lis the large Humber of people who
seem to have no sense of cleanliness or
order. While this element is most con-
spicuous in big city slums, yet most
towns have some representatives of it,
and some of the most disorderly spots
are found in country locations" Sad
to say, this is as true of Brattleboro as
of any other town. If property owners
themselves take no pride in their hold
ings it is indeed a problem, and one
which shows all too plainly to those
passing through" that it hasn't been
solved entirely here.
