CARPENTER AND DEMPSEY
 10 FIGHT

NEW 4Oftk, Oct., Zb-- GeOrSe Carpenter, champion pugilist fran ce and Europe has been matched to fight Jack Dempsey champion of this country for the heavy weight champ ionship of the world. The contract will be formally signed tomorrow.
 Under the terms of the contract the two heavy weights will fight be- tween February 1st. and July lst of next year and the conditions stipulate that the encounter will be confined to ten or fifteen rounds.
 LONDON, Oct, 26- The most un- ique office building in London, for more than quarter of a century the business headquarters and home of the late Lord William Waldorf Astor, is to be sold. Built at cost of more than $1,ooO,OOO this office-palace oc- cupied one of the most commanding positions on the famous embankment.
 Architects have called it the most original structure of it's Kind in the world, in that it combines many of the inspirations of the old world with all the modern devices of present day business. It is constructed of gray stone, in Tudor style. and never has any building offered such discourage ment to burglars. A strong, though artistic iron railing surrouding the house, all the many windows have iron bars and entrance can only be obtained through massive gateway of bronze.
 Above it all is little gilt galleon, in full sail, an exact model of the car avel in which Columbus crossed the seas, happy reminder, as someone has pointed out "of the American made wealth which made the splend- i'd building possible"
 When one enters the office he is confronted by magnificent carved staircase which occupies the greater portion of the center of the house. Oak beams, mahogany pannelling, marble floors abound throughout and many inlaid tables and cabinets and pom derous fourposter bed with Gobelin hangings.
 Although used as both residence and office, several enthusiasts are urging that it be purchased by the City of London as permanent home for the London City Museum, so well could it be adapted to public use.
 The first Lord Astor spent much of his time in the building, managing his American properties from here and di- recting his newspaper The Pail Mall of business to be transacted, becamt: less and the present Lord Astor hav- ing no use for the building it is to be sold but will always be monument to the memory and personality of the late William Waldorf Astor.

OF publicly announcing the condition OF

motorists is going TO work hardship
on some towns which have reason
able excuse for the failure to complete
their road work on time. In the pres
ent state Of the labor market it might
be impossible for some of the towns to
get enough to carry on the road work,
however much the officials Of the town
NAV desire to do the work. At the
same time it is admitted that the pros
poet Of publicity will serve as a sharp
prod to some Of the towns that are
unnecessarily slow in undertaking their
road work. for no town wants to get
the reputation of being backward.
Moreover, the publishing Of the infor-
nation is likely to prove of great bene-
iit to a large number Of people, both
residents of the state and visitors as il
will enable them to decide which roads

CURRENT COMMENT
Out of New England's Life.

Perhaps our contemporary New Eng
land literature could have better
SHARED greater name from the list OF
it's exemplars than that of Eleanor II.
Porter. Undoubtedly Mrs. Porter was
our most popular writer OF the day
And though "Pollyanna" may not be
ranked in merit with THE Scarlet Let
ter or "A Woman's Reason" this much
is to be said for it, that it came in
thorough literary honesty out of its
authors heart and life, and that it
struck the popular chord perhaps as
much by reason of that essential sin
cerity as on account of its heroine I'M
conquerable optimism.
We may claim for New England's
credit the fact that Mrs. Porter came
from our most typical life, and por-
trayed in perfect honesty the life she
lived and knew Hers was a happy
workaday life; in a true sense Polly.
anna was herself. Things are not 50
bad with our Yankee world when this
may be truly said. But that this work
aday life, and an authors entire happi-
ness in it. should carry in its bosom a
death so premature as Mrs. Porter's
gives one certain pause. The gospel
of literary work should still be discrim
mated from the gospel of overwork
"Polyanna" was a Yankee saint, and
Yankee sainthood, it appears, may
mean sacrifice, Boston Transcript.

Mr.. Emery Best Qualified.

The gubernatorial campaign in Yer.
mont is pursuing its calm and unob-
trusiye way, and it is difficult TO Judge
as to the relative standing of the
four avowed candidates up to the pres
ont stage of the contest.
All of the candidates have announced
a platform as basis for support. Mr..
Hartness has an elaborate but rath-
or nebulous one, Mr.. Agan has his pc
culiar one founded on an issue which
has no relation 10 present state prob
lens, Mr.. Babbitt has another one the
value Of which is marred by an untor-
tunate straddle, and Mr.. Emery has
one which as platforms 90, would seem
TO be the most concise and practical
of all.
But after giving all due considefa-
ton to the platforms of the candi.
dates, in whole or in detail, the VITA
point for the Republican voters OF Yer
mont to consider il which one Of the
four gentlemen in the field Is best
equipped and most likely to give the
state a safe and sane administration
The Standard believes Mr.. Emery j.
the best qualified of the four, througl
experience and training in public at
fairs. through knowledge Of Vermont
institutions and how best to secure
needed reforms and guide the common
wealth under the present abnorma
conditions.
No question IS raised as to Mr.. I'm
erv's ability or his thorough acquaiut
anee with the various departments ant
phases of state government.

equipped for the Office of governor ant
