able to understand her Nerv good

that perhaps it was only a child

continued on with the cows. When
he returned to the house he went to
the room where Mrs. Leach was and
found her just passing away. She
was still conscious and when he asked
her if she had called him she told
him he had tried to have the little
girl call him. She died before medical
assistance could be secured.
The funeral was held Tuesday at
ternoon at 2:30 o'clock, from the
house. Rev p. Raw Norton. officiating

The League Of Republican State
Clubs at q meeting last night in its
headquarters. 1895 New York avenue,
extended hearty invitation to the
new Harding Democratic Club to Join
the republican ranks for the 1920
campaign. The facilities of the re-
publican party organization were
placed at the disposal of the new or
ganization of democrats, and sugges-
tion was made for a joint meeting of
the two clubs at an early date.
The Harding Democratic Club has
not yet completed it's permanent or
ganization. It led off last week with
a membership of seventy and appii-
cations from many more democrats
who are opposed to the policy of the
Wilson administration, which, they
contend. Gov. Cox has accepted. The

Democrat Says People Don't Want
Syndicated Presidency,
But Real Leader.

INDIANAPOLIS. August 31.-Sena-
tor Harding's statements how he
would conduct the presidency have
thrown a chill into the republican
campaign in the west. franklin D.
Roosevelt, democratic vice presiden-
tial nominee. declared in an address
here last night.
Visions of the Senate cabal, of an
insidious power behind the chief mag
istrate. will not down. he said. 1.-The
Penroses and Watsons and Shoots and
Lodges are at least no more popular
than in the past. The people want a
leader, not syndicated presidency"
Mr.. RooseveltS address was pre-
ceded by parade and a public recep-
ton. He spoke in the afternoon at
both Delphi and Monticello.
Giving his entire address over to his
findings in the west the vice presi-
DENTAL candidate declared that portion
of the country is asking why the re-
publican candidates are not going to
visit it.
There are vivid memories Of Mr..
Hughes disastrous campain to the Pa

COMMON SENSE IS NEED

Go Forward, He Tells
Maine Audience.

BANGOR. Maine. August 31-An
appeal to Americans to meet present
critical conditions with clear eyes,
with honesty and a steady hand was
made by Lieut. Col. Theodore Roose-
welt in speech here yesterday. He
said that what this country wants
most is Common sense, common de-
cency and common honesty
we must meet the future deter
mined that we are going forward, al
ways forward to better things. and
that we will, not let unreasoning fear
force US into senseless reaction" said
Col Roosevelt. Equally, however,
we must not let our country be gov
erned by indolent discomfort and the
impractical theories of the doc
trinaire."
I'm Mr.. Cox the democrats have
chosen a man whose shifty hypocrisy
thoroughly entities him to be the
leader of the party whose administra-
ton has darkened the pages Of our
history during the last eight years.
He inveighs against the republican
party. He says that the platform does
not acclaim the fine part played by
Americans in the war.
Does he not know that 1t is not
considered good taste to praise your
own achievements, and that it was
the republican party that fought the
war"

TEACHER WAGE
Vermont Women Teachers Club Pre-
sents Some Statistics for Guild
ance of People in Seeking to
Give Teachers Adequate
Compensation.

The general public is rapidly being
aroused to the danger threatening the
public schools of America resulting
from the existing shortage of teachers
This danger, which has largely grown
out of the fact that salaries are insult
feient to meet present living expenses,
demands immediate attention. It is
believed that Vermont will come for
ward to do its part in meeting this
need, as soon as il fully recognizes the
condition. Although great effort is
being made through the Smith Towner
bill to obtain additional aid from the
federal government, until this bill is
passed each state and each town in the
state must shoulder its own responsible
| ty to meet local needs to-day
Various agencies are already at work
I'M Vermont as in other states which
/ are helping to bring the facts concern
ing this matter before the public in or
der that the necessary adjustments
may be made. While these agencies
are not limited to those of strictly
educational nature, it is both natural
and fitting that those in closest touch
with the schools should actively par
ticipate in this movement The Yer
mont Women Teachers club, an organ
ization whose large membership is made
up of the women teachers of the state
has undertaken to do its part in helping
to secure salary increases because it
sees this as first step in raising the
professional standard of teachers. Ii
has Just sent to every woman teacher
in the state circular letter, part of
which is quoted below. The statistics
which are included must lead every true
Vermonter to pause and reflect on
What shall be done in Vermont?:
