THE PRIMARY FARCE IN
VERMONT.

Vermont's primary yesterday for the
sstensible purpose of giving the voters
! chance to express their preference for
president would be considered nothing
sss than farcical were il not for great
expense saddled on the cities and towns
h order to carry out the form. The
expense makes il almost a tragedy for
.ities and towns which are struggling
snder the burden of excessive expense
Tor the conduct Of the ordinary mum
spal affairs, and which have no fnan-
aal resource for such luxury as a
presidential primary. In these towns it
vas necessary to set up the usual ma
,hinery Of election in order to gather
and count the paltry vote which was
mst. For instance, Barre employed
tlection officers as usual to govern the
Foting by wards, and il cost the city
Eery heavy for every vote cast in the

As the Brattleboro Reformer says,
Sit would be ridiculous to have a son
ii Vermont (Coolidge) nominated for
president and the Vermont delegates
Instructed to vote for someone else"
The only way to prevent such a ridicu-
lous situation and some other ridicu-
ious situations is to send an unin-
structed delegation to the Republican
national convention. The conviction
that Vermont ought not to be bound
down is gaining strength throughout
the state. BY the way, Fuller c.
Smith of st. Adams, who wants to go
10 the convention as a delegate, is the
FIRST candidate to announce himself
publicly to be against the plan Of in
structed delegates. The others who
have been mentioned as candidates
have thus far refused TO say anything
about their convictions on that mat

laid to the fact that the primary was
new and unfamiliar to the average
voter of Vermont, and to the fact, too,
that the primary was not sufficiently
warned of, according to the usual Gus
tom in case of election But even
after making such allowances it must
be conceded that Vermont does not
want a presidential primary when it
is so meaningless and SO lacking in
compulsory power as Vermont's presi-
Dental primary is at the present time.
This law should be wiped off the stat
ute books, and it Is doubtful if il
should be replaced by any law calling
for a presidential primary.

II ought not to have been necessary
for the war department to warn people
connected with various charitable and
social organizations that the wearing
of the uniforms and the use of mill
tary titles were no longer to be toler-
ated; the persons addicted to such prac-
tees long after their services with the
United States forces ended ought to
have had the good sense to dispense
with both uniforms and titles in favor
Of civilian attire and no titles at all.
The excuse for wearing the uniform
and the use of the title lapsed when
tie services ended. The country is on
a peace time basis even though the
formality of declaring peace has not
been gone through with.

Fire Damaged the House Occupied by

Fire burned through the roof of the
rear part of the house on Main street
belonging to John Keleher and occupied
by Leslie A. Spooner yesterday fore
noon. 1t was discovered by Mrs. Annie
Abbott. the nearest neighbor. The
Spooners were all away from home at
the time. Chief Engineer Whitney and
his men responded to the alarm rung in
by Mrs. Abbott The fire, which had
biazed up considerably, was put out by
a hand extinguisher, no water being
used. The cause undoubtedly was a
passing locomotive. A fire once well
under way at that point might easily
spread to half the business section. a
representative of the Union Mutual
was here in the afternoon to adjust
the fire damage.

3 Officers of Rival
Firm Of Ponxi
Held for Fraud

tDDuuuUcu from uaG9 ouo+l
f"Our attention was first called to
Ponzi's operations last February when
Inquiries began coming into the office
from investors n prospective inves-
torn Since that time wo have boen
working In Europe and elsewhere.

dcnce that there has been no alb

countries the use OF coupons had been
greatly curtailed to prevent this worry
scheme. There In nc means by which
n man can manipulate International

Claims Rrr,bcd
The entire issue and redemption
of international reply coupona

years would not aggregate s5UO, 0vV.
Ponxl could not have handed the mill

fortune he ciaimcd to have amassed
without III knowledge OF the off

soon after our Investigation was
started, POnzi was advised by letter
that coupons would not DC redeemed

"One OF Ponzi's attractive features
waa the easy mannc in which he
talked in millions instead OF hundreds
or thousands. He simply charmed,
dazzied the people.
Gambling Spirit
He appealed to the gambling
spirit Of the people. When no started
out he promised fifty percent In ninety
days but he paid In forty-five days
with the result that many rcinvested.
"Ponzi did not use the malls AZ

started business In a small way. de-

customers, and on abe word that
would be passed.
"He did not dare advertise In the
newspapers and we did o want to
make II known we were investigating
his business, for the publicity was
Just what he needed. when the story
OF his operations first got into news
papers, he welcomed It, for II gave
him a chance to get before the pub
lie. II was during the past few weeks
that he collected the greater part OF
the millions that trusting persons
turned over 10 him."
