Men,a Riahts.

Mems rights are great deal Of
trouble to them. They assert them,
and get them, and then they don't
know what 10 do with them. A mans
rights, half of them. are meant to
give away. The beatitude Of
your rights is, they are your benev-
olences. You can yield them, give
them away. And the law of social
unity is this law Of assertion Of a
mans individuality, and the use Of
that individuality as a benevolence for
those that are round about him.--Hen-

WILL FIGHT AMENDMENT
Fourth Candidate for Governor 10
Home from California and
Makes Announcement

Ludlow, April S.--Frank W. Agan's
campaign for governor was formally
opened he.e today with the publica-
tion of his political creed or platform
in his home newspaper, the Ludlow
Tribune. This is the first official an
nouncement of what Mr.. Agan pro-
poses to run on and consti utes the
shortest platform yet announced by
any candidate for governo.. 1t is di-
vided nito two parts, what the candi-
date Is for" and what he is against
1t reads as follows:
Believe in
Personal liber y, the constitution
of Vermont and the right OF every
ate adm mister its own in er.
nal affairs;
The submission to the vote 8 of
every amendment that infringes
or invades our state cons tuition,
A road law that will permit q sci-
entiflc, statewide plan for better
highways and more help for town
roads;
A lump sum for legislators and shot
er legislative sessions.
Am Opposed To
The rule Of any mino ity:
The eigh eenth amendment for fed
/ eral prohibition and the volstead
I enforcement act;
ANY further waste OF pubic funds
Patchwork roadmaking.
II nominated and elected, will do
all | can to further these ends.
In an interview today, MIR Agan
made 1t clear hat. although he is op
posed to the 18th amendment and. II
elected, will do all In his power to
have 1t repealed and re.submitted, he
recognizes it as the present fundameD
tai faw OF the land and urges all good
icitizenS 10 support and obey it.
The candidate said further that he
proposed to take advantage OF his
constitutional right to freedom ot
speech, which guarantees to the peo
pie the right "of writing and publish
ing their sentiments concerning the
transactions of government" He
would therefore undertake to insert
advertisements in state newspapers
fiom time to time and pay for then
at established rates.
Mr.. Agan stated further that he was
running his own campaign, absolute
ly without any strings attached. ant
would neither take orders nor accept
contributions from any other source
He will obey the p rimary law IL
every particular.

SALOONS NOW LIBRARIES
Shelves of Books, Take Place Of vari

Cupboards and shelves behind the
gilt ering mahogany bars, which once
housed rows of variegated bottles,
now shelter rows of books of all
sorts. The former saloon has be-
come, in many instances, the corner

borhood..
In many places, former saloons
have been turned into stores in which
have been installed collections of the
best sort of reading matter as
branches of the main public library
or, as in communities which have lack
ed library service, adjuncts to the Ii
brary of the nearest city This ex
tension of service is encouraged by

Objections.
Syracuse, April 8.--Trial OF the
Cottren G. Leonard Clothing Company
of Albany, on charges Of profteering
started here today in the United
States Court before Judge Harland
b. Howe. Defendants petitioned for
trial before another Judge, charging
that Judge Howe had shown bias and
prejudice in statements he was al
legged to have made during the argu.
ment on demurrers.
Judge Howe In denying the motion
branded as false some statements
credited to him. He said others were
twisted or distorted. He insisted he
never had seen nor heard Of any of
the defendants and therefore, he held,
lit was impossible for him to have
formed any prejudice In the case.

country realize that the accused
firms are innocent and are ready to

of opinion here is that Germany will
yield to France and withdraw all Ger

The radical uprising which had its
headquarters at Essen has collapsed
and the Berlin government has thus
accomplished its purpose and it is be-
lieved that there will be less friction
with the French in control.

Insects That Have Short Life.

There are many eggs of small insects
that are Matching all the time. The
ray of sunshine. falling weakly upon
the side of a tree or upon an old log,
will hatch out many Of these eggs, and
the little creatures wobble through the
frozen air for few minutes before
perlshing. Possibly II is tragedy
with them when they are brought into
the world too soon. At any rate they
do not flourish; they do not mate and
propagate their kind when hatched
out in winter.

EverxMhere Expresses contempt.

Is thrust out to express contempt. The
little girl who "sticks out her tongue"

mode of conveying the idea of inten-

recognized significance.
