Classifying Mr.. Hoover.

If the treaty OF peace goes over to
the presidential election Mr. Hoover is
for the party that stands for the league
of nations, and he is willing to take
the league with amy reservations nee
essary to clarity the worlds mind that
there can be no infringement of the
safeguards provided by our constitu-
ton and our nation old traditions"
He would not vote with party IF it
were dominated by groups who seek to
set aside our constitutional guarantees
for free speech or free representation,
who hope to re-establish control OF the
government for profit and privilege"
He would not vote with party IF II
we're dominated by groups who hope
for any form of Socialism, whether II
be the naturalization of industry or
other destruction of individual initia-
tive"
Until the parties have made up their
own minds where they stand, Il must
exercise prerogative of American citi-
zenship and decline to pledge my vote
blindfolded' That is the attitude Of
an enormous number of American vot-
ers. and that number will increase UNI
Ill there is a definite expression of po-
litical policy which viii enable them
to arrive at a decision in respect to
the coming election.
Ii is easy enough to classify Mr..
Hoover historically His political phil
osophv is grounded in Jeffersonian De-
mocracy and in Lincoln Republicanism,
but neither Jefferson nor Lincoln has
party status at the present time. The
southern and middle western Demo-
Gratis have repudiated Jefferson, and the
Republicans have strapped everything
relating to Lincoln except the name,
which they have retained as a trade-
mark for advertising purposes.
The world can think of no more use
full service that Mr.. Hoover could rem
der than TO make a concrete applica-
ton of his creed TO the problems that
confront the country. Nothing is to be
expected from the professional candi-
dates. They are afraid of issues and
are concerned only with delegates. The
surest way TO get the United States
out Of this realm of underlined parti-
sanship" is for a man like Hoover 70

so abundantly qualitied.-New York

Vermont in Congress.

The Boston Herald thinks that Yer
mont is worrying unnecessarily about
the possibility of losing a congressman
in the reapportionment which will be
made on the basis of the national cen
sus now being taken. The contempt
rary writes encouragingly as follows
vermont need not worry about los
ing one of its two representatives as a
result of the congressional reapportion-
ment that will follow the 1920 census
Even though it shows little or no gain
in population-an il is too early To
assume that such win be the case-the
chances are altogether in favor of its
retention of it's present representation
in Congress. The practice of the past
half century has made the slowest
growing state the tide mark in working
out the reapportionment-that is, the
slowest growing state among those that
have more than one representative.
Forty years ago Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont each lost one repre-
sentative. No other states lost at that
time and at each reapportionment since
then many states have gained, but none
has lost.
In earlier years there were numer-
Gus changes. At one time. about cen
fury ago, Maine had eight representa-
tives and New Hampshire and Vermont
have had as high as six each, but as the
new states came in and grew fast in
population the older and more slowly
growing states began to lose represen-
tation. Then came the policy earlier
referred TO. even though it has meant
a larger and larger House The re-
moval of the desks from the chamber
allows a still further increase, speaking
wholly from the physical side. The
well-known arguments against House
as large as the present one, not to men
ton a House substantially larger, will
hardly prevail against the disinclina-
ton to crowd u small state. The APP
portionment committee, with both par
ties and all sections represented, is sure
TO be made up of very human and prac-
teal gentlemen.
THE unit of representation will not
be made half the population of the
slowest growing state with two mem
bers, but it will be made small enough
so that a major fraction thereof will
allow that state TO retain the two
members. There will be discussions
and worrying and appeals and perhaps
threats, but that will be the outcome
unless precedent is utterly upset
Vermont will hope that this predie
ton is borne out by events. And yet
we ought not TO slacken our every et-
fort 70 get every Nermonter enrolled on
.be census If we are TO lose a repre-
sentative let it not be because we con-
tributed to it by neglect on our part.
Everyone knows whether he has been
interviewed by a census taker. and II
he hasn't, let such an individual get
into touch with the authorities at once.
The Messenger. upon application, will
gladly inform unrolled Vermonters to
what enumerator they should 90 to
get their name on the lists.-St Al

Made Wager with Famous Snowman.

Rome. Feb. l3.-Princess Doria, who
recently died in Rome, was an English
woman. Lady Emily Pelham Clinton,
and for many years was known to

Roman campagna who would ride any
of his wild ponies and that she could
also produce wild horse which his
cowpunchers could not ride.
The bronco busters, according TO the
story told here, failed TO master the
Italian horse and Princess Doria's cat
tleherder rode the American bronco to
the intense satisfaction of the great
crowd which saw the performance.

money like drunken sailors" according
to testimony given yesterday by Frank

Robards said he encountered Chilson

"They are spending money like

Under cross examination, Richards
maintained that he was not opposed to
the Newberry candidacy, but was not
'Newberry man" He said he did not
even vote at the primary.
Did not Mr.. Chilson tell you he was
travelling for a ladder manufacturer
and was not the check he cashed drawn
on that concern ?" asked Mr. Littleton.
Il didn't see the check. don't know
on whom it was drawn" said Robards.

1t passes in the form of minute
germs from the coughs or sneezes OF
people who in the first stages mlngle

Therefore avoid exposure, this may
be difficult, almost impossible. :,
But we can all keep our blood full
of vitality and enable it to resist the
attacks of disease germs, by taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the pre-eminent
blood purifier and health builder. This
good medicine promotes assimilation
so as to secure for the body the great
est possible value of food. 1t aids dl-

After influenza or any other blood

markable how it promotes GONZALES

WOULD ENJON
SHIPPING BOARD
To Prevent Sale of Thirty Former Ger
man Liners at Public Auction
Next Monday Filed by
w. r. Hearst.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. l4.--Applica
ton for an injunction against the ship.
ping board and the Emergency Fleet
corporation to prevent the sale Of &c
former German liners at public auction
next Monday was filed in the District
Of Columbia supreme court yesterday
by William Randolph Hearst of New
York, acting in his capacity as tax
payer.
Chief Justice Mccoy issued a rule re-
curing the defendants to show cause
Monday morning why temporary in
junction should not be issued.
Chairman Payne of the shipping
board announced that the application
for an injunction would not prevent
the offering of the ships for sale. He
said tenders would be received Monday,
as planned, but that final action on
them would be deferred until the in
junction proceedings had been dis
posed of finally.
Those named in the application as
defendants are John 3. Payne, Thomas
A. Scott, John A. Mcdonald and Ray
mond B. Stevens, the members of the
board and the corporation known a.
the United States Shipping Board and
Emergency Fleet corporation.
Mr.. Hearst, through his attorney
told the court that irreparable injury
would be done the United States and
its people and taxpayers if the sale
were allowed to proceed next Mon
day.
He charged that the conditions Of
the sale had not been properly adver-
tised and that unless the court inter
vened, vessels worth more than $780,
100000 would be sold for much small
err figure.
Aside from the financial loss to the
government, Mr. Hearst said, the sale
of the vessels would destroy the army
transport reserve Immediately avail
able in case of emergency" He also al
leges that the shipping board was abus-
ing its power in ordering the sale

The Montpelier seminary basketball
team defeated the Legion team from
Mortified Friday evening in the ar
mory in Montpelier by score of AZ
to 20 in fairly well played game.
During the early part of the game it
looked as though the visiting team was
the faster of the two, for its teamwork
was superior, but when the Montpelier
team got we'll under way the visitors
were played off their feet during the
last part of the first period, while in
the second period the visitors made
little opposition TO the Montpelier team
trying for baskets. There was some
good teamwork done, but for the most
part both teams were given to long at.
tempts at basket throwing instead Of
carrying the ball down the floor to
point where an easy shot could take
place.
Ceresola excelled over all of the 9th
ers in the game. Montpelier was han
dicapped because Granai and Ward
were not in the game, but even with
them out, in the last portion OF the
game substitutes were placed in the
game, which did not seem to affect
Montpelier's playing to any extent

Hungarian Soothsayer
Predicts Restoration
OF Thrones in EurOpe

Budapest, May 2o.-Stratling
prophecies relative to world peace,
political changes impending in Eu-
rope and the fate of prominent fig
ures in the great war are made by
,Hungary's national soothsayer,
Nine. Sybilline Bellaugh.
Thrones will be re-established
allsover Europe, including France,
Germany, Austria, Poland and Hun
gary, within year." she says. "The
Hohenzollerns will return to Ger
many, but the former emperor will
go insane and the crown prince will
be murdered. There will be SAN
Culinary upheavals in France pre-
liminary to the constitution of a
kingdom. Bolshevism will end in
1921 in Russia. Mexico will be the
starting point of the next war. High
prices will abate and European ex-
change will be quoted at par in two
years. There will be the greatest
exodus of Jews from Russia and
central Europe in history, but they
will not go to Palestine. They will,
rather, emigrate to Argentine and
Mexico"
