DUNG Armenia and take our part in
protecting the Poles from the Bolshe-
Wiki.
That is the kind of a league Governor
Cox is committed to support and advo-
cate before the American people.
Senator Harding in his speech of ac-
ceptance said: cit is better to be the
free and disinterested agent of inter
national justice and advancing civil
ization, with covenant of conscience,
than be shackled by a written compact
which surrenders our freedom of action
and gives. to a military alliance the
right to proclaim America 8 duty to
the world. No surrender of rights to a
world council or its military alliance,
no assumed mandatory however APP
pealing, ever shall summon the sons Of
this republic to war. Their supreme sac
rifce shall only be asked for America
and its call of honor. There is a sane
tity in that right we will nos delegate. -
Here the American people have the
league of nations issue clearly defined
and there is little doubt what their
answer win be. ~

The venerable Cardinal Gibbons OF
baltimore. who reaches his eighty-sixtf
milestone today has long been recog-
.nized as one of the foremost Ameri.
cans. Few citizens of the United
States have exerted such a strong in.
fuenee abroad as he To mention his
nanleiI anywhere in America or in Eu-
rope evokes tributes (which come
equally from Protestants and Catho-
lies Few will question the assertion
that he occupies i'm the hearts of his
.countrymen a position seldom before
reached by any American ehurchman
The Cardinal is a native of Baltimore

the Catholic institutions of that city
Recently he entered upon his Goth year

FRIDAY, JULY %, 1920.
LITTLE VERMoNTERs.

The press of the state is giving much
attention to a statement by an alleged
farmer in a newspaper supporting Cur
tbs s. Emery for the governorship that
industries injure the farmers of Yer
mont. This alleged farmer is reported
to have said we do not want more in
dustries but more agricultural pro-
duets to bring prices down so that
living will not cost so much.
If any farmer, or any resident of
Vermont for that matter, made such a
statement it is surprising. In the first
place Vermont farmers do not believe
that lower prices for their products
would be beneficial to them. Further
more. most farmers know that the best
markets for their produce is in the
Industrial centers near their homes, the
nearer the better.
The farmers also know that live in
dustries are established to supply a
public demand. If the people of Yer
mont will not conduct these necessary
industries the people of some other
state will. If Vermonters are unwill-
ing to have their own people polish the
marble and granite dug out of the Yer
mont hills, make the fine pipe organs
so much in demand, construct the scales
for a rapidly growing commerce, man.
ufacture cotton and wooden goods, wood
products and similar things, they can
not prevent people of other states from
doing it. Should these useful indus
tries be removed from Vermont their
skilled employees would not turn to the
production of agricultural crops. They
would follow the industries to their
new homes and move the farmer s mar
ket Just so much farther away from
his farm.
The value of home markets was very
clearly proved in the article recently
published in the Reformer, showing
that New Hampshire raised potatoes,
dressed fowls, milk products, beans and
hay sold for from 10 to II per cent
more in the industrial cities of New
Hampshire than in Boston. Undoubt-
eddy the same thing is true in the Yer
mont industrial centers.
Encouragement Of industry here
means a smaller and poorer Vermont.
The only places showing growth in pop
ulation and wealth during the past
decade are the industrial sections of the
state The purely agricultural sections
have not maintained their population,
supported their schools or constructed
their highways. To take away the in
dustrial life of the state would further
deplete these agricultural sections and
make Vermont q smaller and less pros
porous state. Persons who advocate
such things are simply little Vernon
tiers who are not very popular with the
mass of live and enterprising residents.

BY Right of Inheritance.
Boston Transcript

| The governor gave but a brief speech
| at Plymouth, VT, the other day. 1t
will be remembered that Lincoln gave but
brief speech at Gettysburg; but the
world knows that little speech by heart
/ today. Governor Coolidge's few remarks
at Plymouth are likely to be remembered
| long. They went to the heart of mat
ter that all men and women feel. They
brought up the country air, the country
| faith, the country sincerity, and all the
| things that go with the country inheri-
lance. TT is a great heritage to be reared
here in the hills of Vermont" said Gov
ernor Coolidge; ito be given the thrift
and understanding, and all that is noblest
/ to mankind" The farmer-and especially
| the farmer on the New England hills
does every stroke of his work in the eve
| of Nature and her promises. If he had
Rot faith as well as thrift, he would not
| farm at all. In sense, he has to be born
to it in order to do it, or to do elsewhere
the things that are founded upon it. The
| grit comes by inheritance.
And | am here, as you know the
governor of Massachusetts, went on,
speaking to his old neighbors. ''by right
of birth; Vermont is my birthright, and
it is noble and high birthright for all
to have. Living up to it entails a very
great obligation, for here one gets close
| to nature, in the mountains, in the
brooks, the waters of which hurry to the
sea, in the lakes shining like silver in
their green setting, fields titled not by
machinery but by the brain and hand of
man." 1t all goes into the child of the
hills, and comes out in resolution and
achievement. 1t all came out when
Dewey threaded the channel of Manila
! it came out when Coolidge, having put
his hand to the plough on Beacon Hill,
kept the furrow going straight through
the ranks of the striking policemen, who
did not know side Hill plough" from a
handsaw.
I'm the sehoolhouse up yonder, mon
ument to popular education. SO the
governor went on-''in the church across
the way, ignorance and aggression are
done away with. There the Young are
taught to realize the educational condi-
lions of law and order and the great
privilege of being Americans, going on as
Americans, faithful to themselves and all
mankind" just that; going on, and the
glory of it, as Americans That is the
way the people are going on They viii
like the MESSAGE from the hills, for their
heritage is about the same as the gov
|ernor's. 1t is a heritage of simple pa
triotic .determination-of law and order,
with thrift and prosperity. A little.
speech, but big enough for all the people
to stand on as platform.

sters seem unduly proud of the imaginary
home environment they claim as real, and
if they seem to be ungrateful little imps
SO far as the joys of the country are con
cerned, they are really having the time Of
their lives. And when they return to the
crowded, noisy city they viii brag just
as violently about the country scenes they
have left behind them. The half-dried
creek in which they wade will become a
regular river, the haystacks they climb
viii reappear in later narratives as miles
high, the wood lots they berry in will
grow into impenetrable forests. Nothing

Little Braggarts.
(Keene Sentinel.)

To the generous people of little New
England town who are opening their
homes to one group of fresh airers'' from
New York city, the administrators of the
fund recently sent this preliminary warn
ing:
Most children are boastful, Fresh air
children have this quality in an exagger-
ated form. They are not proud of their
poverty. Do not, therefore, put too much
confidence in stories they may tell of fine
things they possess, the grandeur of the
homes they come from, etc The fund
has the written guaranty of a responsible
social worker that each child sent to the
country is poor-so poor that it would
have absolutely no chance of the country
vacation without the assistance of your
self and the fund"
Anyone who knows normal children
knows of their prediction for Boosting
and the lavish imaginations which furnish
them unlimited material therefor They
are always doing brave deeds and telling
of them with absolute sincerity and I'M
shakable conviction The particular form
which the boasting of the fresh air chill
dren is said to take may be pathetic in
its revelation of ungratifed desires and
hopes, but it is a healthful sign
1t hardly seems possible that the child
loving person who offers brief summer
outing to these little city folks could be
so ignorant of child ways as to take the
boasting seriously. and hence to doubt the
need of such philanthropy. Ii the young

NEW YORK. If you are feeling run down,
weak nervous, tired the morning, and gen
orally ailing, these are the symptoms that
should warn you to take of your health.
Four persons in every ten are needing more
phosphorus in their bodies. When you see thin
and fretful people; those who are anaemic,
pale, frail, oft respondent or lacking in energy,
you may look for the need of certain elements
that make for a strong constitution.
| Some people, after relying upon preparations
composed chiefly of salts, quinine, drastic
drugs, iron calomel, cod liver oil. etc, wonder
why they find no benefit. That is easily
planned by the fact that such persons need the
phosphoric element, which is a most potent
essential to health, and contained in BITRO-
PHOSPHATE, the famous health preparation.
Now obtainable everywhere.
The right thing for you to do is make a trial
of BITRO- PHOSPHATE beginning at once.
1t is not patent medicine. the formula is pre-
scribed by many physicians for the ailments
and weaknesses mentioned above.
With every box of BITRO-PHOSPHATE
are a few simple health rules and $500 guar
antee. Buy box of BITRO-PHOSPHATE.
1t is sold and recommended by Brattlebore
Drug Co. and all good druggists everywhere.

paying investment as camping out

While there is some justification for
the complaints that have reached the
states attorneys office in regard to
reckless driving on Main street, The
Meddler doubts whether the violations
are beyond the authority of the local
straffie policeman. 1t would bbe very
good thing, however, if the state automo-
lille department would send a man here If
for no other purpose than to give the
local officer a series of lessons in trait
fie signals. One doesn t have to stand
At the corner of Main and Elliot streets
for any great length of time to become
convinced that the liability of accident
could be greatly lessened if bit more
siirmness were used in directing traffic
and that touring motorists are fire.
I quently at a loss to interpret the sig
mails. As to the former phase the OF
ficer on duty should bear in mind that
he has the authority of the whole state
back Of him, and while there is no neea
of being overbearing he should let no
! infringement of regulations pass with
out calling it to the attention of the
yiolator. 1t is only by impartial en-
forcemcnt of traffic rules that the
safety of all concerned can be properly
guarded.
The time of year for holding the an
nual school district meeting may not be
! the chief reason why the attendance at
hat important municipal function is
generally so small, but as The Meddler
has pointed out previously the time is
wrong from business point of view.
The meeting should be so scheduled az
to allow the submission to the voters
of the estimates for the ensuing year.
Under the present arrangement the pru.
| Dental committee is obliged to make
Fits plans and sign its contracts weeks
ahead of the meeting and then look to
the voters for ratification. Perhaps the
feeling that it is too late TO make any
