After the war. this same specimen
came to the same appeal agent and
humbly begged the latter's pardon Tor
his conduct and threats. The war had
made man OF him. He had gained
2s pounds in weight, wore sergeant 8
stripes and was a typical, sturdy, wei
set up, brisk, healthy and efficient non
commissioned officer.
Such training does any young man
good. and often the higher up the So
cial scale he stands the more good 1t
does. The draft also showed us start
ling things about physical defects and
unsupported disease. Military training
discovers, remedies and tends to pre-
vent such conditions. Without for a
moment denying that an oyerbearing
military caste would be a national
calamity, The Herald believes that this
modification of the Swiss system would
be of great benefit both to the nation
and to the individual.
II certainly should not be tossed
aside because misunderstanding women
or war.tired theorists oppose it. II de-
serves fair and independent hearing

other bill. The best information from

Vermont Delegation to Chicago.

The state Republican convention
which meets in Montpelier May 20,
will make a serious mistake u dele
gates arc elected who have single
track mind. The only thing for Yer
mont to do is TO send to Chicago an
uninstructed delegation composed OF
men who have not been championing
the candidacy OF any candidate. Any
man who has been working his head off
for any candidate is not a safe man to
be placed in the delegation.
The Vermont delegation can be
prominent in the national Republican
convention ut Chicago providing they
are not hitched mp to any one candt-
date. Let the state convention select
a company Of men Of the type who are
conversant in engineering stable prob

sent the best interests Of the Republi-
can party. The convention is going to
be no place for the whoop-er-up type.
We look to see the convention more
of a business mans conference than a
political gathering, thus IL behooves

ranks some keen observers of business

Benefits Of Military Training.

There is, OF course, considerable OPP
position to the proposition for univer-
sal military training, coming mostly
from people who do not fully under
stand the situation What is proposed
i not universal military service along
CONSUMPTION lines, but three months
training at a time to be selected by the
young man himself. merely for the pur-
pose Of having an organized and partly
trained body of men to call upon IN
time of war.
Fundamentally, there is no difference
between the proposed law and such
selective service law as Congress would
most certainly enact in case OF war;
except that Il requires young men to
do some training beforehand, under pay
and training camp conditions. That IS,
every eligible young man is liable for
military service in any case, and the
universal training law merely proposes
that he shall have some training for
military duty before the possibility of
war develops.
Such training corps would not be
liable to military service except IN case
Of war and ordinary police or border
duty would be done by the regulars
and national glardsmen. As II seems
TO The Herald, there IL no menace OF
militarism in such a measure but on
the contrary a decided check on mill
taristic nations through the existence
81 a body Of men, ready for emergency
duty and capable Of rapid and efficient
preparation for fighting work.
The advantages Of commonsense
military training are obvious when one
/ looks at the benefits Of such training

The Barre Hoover club, founded on
purpose to work for the nomination OF
Herbert c. Hoover as the Republican
nominee for president, has made an
suspicious start and is backed by an
enthusiastic following of men and
women, who feel that Hoover is just
the man the country needs in the
White House during the next presiden-
tial term. The club membership is
open to anyone, and it is expected that
there will be large additions to the list
during the next few days. A petition
is being circulated to secure enough
signatures to have Hoover's name
placed on the primary ballot in Yer
mont on May IS, and while this petit
ton is confined, through mandate of
the law, to members of the Republican
party, there is no bar to the enroll
ment. of people in other parties in the
Hoover club. In fact, the whole Hoov-
er movement is more peoples move
than it is a party action. Therefore,
if YOU believe in Hoover, make him
your own candidate and talk him up to
Others.

News comes by way Of London that
Paderewski will never again appear in
concert; that, believing the future Of
Poland secure. he considers his political
mission has been accomplished; that
he intends to devote the rest of his

What such decision means TO the
world can only be ooniectured. The
prospect Of never hearing Psderewski

able. II il not impossible, though, that
through this decision posterity will
come into a marvellous heritage. For

understood that his politics inclined to-
wards the Democratic party. This
opinion was reached by reason OF his
support OF some of President Wilson's
policies. But now comes the announce
ment that he is an independent Re

as a candidate on the Republican tick

just take two extremes. Senator
johnson is dead against the league OF
nations and Hoover is for il. The Re
publican political leaders are not Tor

candidates whose position on the league
of nations is vague and indefinite.
Hoover's partisan attitude is ms
strength. The people have become dis.
couraged with politics, politicians and
everything pertaining to party policies
for party sake. The peace treaty was
killed by politics and one crowd Is Just

gressmen and senators fritter away. the
public money in political wrangles. The
whole game has become disgusting.
The time TO call a halt has come and
the general public recognizes that a
real constructive statesman is needed,
not a schooled politician. There's a
big lob TO be done in this country and
there are international questions Of
equal Importance They cannot, or Will
not be properly handled by the poll
ticians. This country wants those big
things done right and the people feel
that Hoover is the man TO get them
done. He has proven his ability and
shown a non partisan interest in big
public questions.
The Republican party can perform 2
distinct service 10 the country and heed
the call for Hoover. Put the good OF
the country above that Of party. The
times are critical and the best thought

Cross and also county chairman OF
one Of the Liberty loan drives
These are the outstanding activities OF :
the man, but close friends could tell
YOU of multitude of other details
which go to show the Qualities why he
was chosen for various positions
Through all this varied work Mr..
Emery has been enabled to keep in
close touch with Vermont and IS, there
fore copnizant OF Vermont's needs. In
deed, it is the opinion OF The Times
that he is far more in touch with YER
mont people and Vermont institutions
than any of the other excellent gentle
men who have been brought out as
candidates. This close acquaintance
has given him not only an insight into
Vermont problems but a sympathy
with vermont's high ideals which
would stand him in good stead in the
office of governor Mr.. Emery is
Vermonter through and through; that
is. he is most loyal son OF Vermont
but without permitting himself to be
blinded to some of the limitations OF
the state and, too, without permitting
himself to be satisfied with all condl-
tions just as they are.
However, being good Vermonter
does not necessarily fit a man to be
governor. The qualities OF good ad-
ministrator, capable executive are
required. In the Newport man Yer
mont has a good administrator, ca
pable executive. In the various posi-
lions he has been called upon TO fill he
has served most acceptably and with
rare initiative and with keen foresight.
Take, for example, the position OF
mayor of Newport, Newport was
new city, with a new charter and
wholly unacquainted with municipal
usages, yet such was Mr.. Emery's work
that it was said: "As mayor he dis
PLAYED marked executive ability, and
40 administered the affairs of the city
that. in face of mounting costs, the
expenditures of the city were kept
within the very moderate tax rate
and all the time the city was making
fine strides in civic spirit, in municipal
INCONSISTENCIES and in general develop.
ment out of the condition of an aver.
age village of Vermont. In the Yer
mont legislature, too,--three times IN
the House and once in the Senate-he
gave proof of much ability while at
the same time he was gaining that ex'
perience which is of inestimable value
to a governor.
And, finally, besides having marked
ability, Mr.. Emery is a good judge OF
men and he will be likely to surround
himself whenever that privilege is
vouchsafed to the executivel with men
peculiarly we'll fitted to carry out the
work of the various departments. he
il also a genial man, inviting rather
than colby repellingi and he is held in
the highest esteem by very large
number of people throughout the state.
These, then, are some of the qualitica-
tions which, as it appears to The
Times make Curtis s. Emery the
most acceptable man for governor Of
| Vermont.

An Ill.Starred Enterprise.

More than one man of property and
more than one bank in Rutland hold
worthless sheaves of stocks, bonds and
notes of the Columbian Marble Quarry
company, its predecessors or successors.
The career OF this iH-stRrred enterprise
is marked with wrecked hopes and fiat
tened purses. II is strange that It
should be so, for the mills Of the com
pany are recognized as among the best
In the quarry district. The layman
has always understood that the trouble
has been that there have been splendid
mills. but no adequate quarry supply.
Practically useless is the marble mill
that has not the raw material with
which to work, the blocks Of marble.
Doubtless some day this project, under
some name or other, will be numbered
among the prosperous and successful

Little Belgium has not forgotten the
act OF France in Joining, back in 1914,
against the invasion Of the German
hordes. They had common cause
then, just as they have common
cause now in seeing that German
troops are kept out of the area which
was prescribed by the treaty of Yer
sailles. Therefore, while looking after
her own welfare, Belgium is thus far
the only nation among the allies to
lend material support to France in the
latter's efforts to force the terms Of
the treaty. France and Belgium have
reason to remember 1920, as they will
remember 1914.

FOR GOVERNOR-CURTIS S.
EMERY.

In contrast to some state election
years in Vermont, the year 1920 has
thus early brought out wealth OF
material for consideration of the voters
as potential governors of the state. In
fact, there is so much and such good
material that the voters may be some
what perplexed as to what course they
should follow in order TO decide the
most acceptable one Of the lot as the
Republican nominee. All four of the
ayowed candidates have some qualihca-
tions that would commend their pos
SCISSORS to the voters There is the
man who has gained distinction in the
field of invention and whose products
have been commercialized most sue
cessfully. There is the manufacturer
whose energy is in large measure re-
sponsible for maintaining large in
dustry. There is the business man,
whose acumen is recognized. There is
the lawyer and executive man Of at
tainments. There may be others to
come. but we would be inclined to say
that additions to the list would be SUI
perfuous, so well blessed is the state
with candidates already.
As already intimated It may be diff
failt for the. average voter, not in
touch with the activities of all these
men, 10 make selection Of the man
most suited TO Vermont and Vermont
conditions; and for that reason it
might appear almost presumptuous for

precedence. However, after being in
