members of the Vermont Association

lated the story of his boyhood days in
the old town of Plymouth, VT the

hills of the Green Mountain state. -
The occasion was the 34th annual re-

1t was held at Hotel Somerset. Many
women attended.
Gov. Percival w. Clement of Yer
mont, was one of the speakers. Aside
from reference to Gov. Coolidge S

one dared to say word about it. Now
when your Boston policemen went or

one of them expected word of protest
from any public officer. 1t was not
supposed that onyone would dare, and
certainly not the governor of Massa

forgotten to look up his ancestry

POPE Plus X HAS

Rome, Italy. - An encyclical docu

The present document is of inter

The papacy's veto, proclaimed by Plus
TX, after 1870 to all the Catholic
heads of states, forbidding them to
visit Rome had momentous conse-

OF all the papal protests translated
into action, which the Holy See pro-
claimed after the fall Of the temporal
power, only one survives-the volun-

feeling exists among Catholics, in.

IN THE SUGAR PROBE
The Attorney General Is Charged
With Protecting Profiteers-Dem-

ing committee in a majority report
presented to the house declared that
Attorney General Palmer had used his
power as chief prosecuting officer Of
the government ''for the purpose of
| fixing maximum selling prices of SUI
gar in Louisiana and in so doing acted
wholly without authority of law and
in violation of his own construction
of his official duty"
The report, prepared by Represen-
tative Hustled, Republican, of New
York, as chairman, charged that the
legalistic method adopted by the at
torney general was wholly ineffect-
i've as a means of prive CONTROL and
that 1T gave apparent governmental
sanction to extremely high prices,
which excited the cupidity of Cuban
producers and caused an advance in
the Cuban market"
Mr.. Palmer insisted before the COM
mittee that he had not fixed sugar
prices. but had merely stated the po
sition of the department as to prose
cution for profiteering-the Louisiana
planters selling at more than II and
IS cents wholesale would be prose-
cuted under the Lever act.
