Mr. Trainor has for some time ia
ken an active part in political affairs
of the Republican party and has a
host Of friends in this district who
will welcome his candidacy.
He is one of the prominent attor-
neys of the state and has built up a
large an lucrative practice.
He has always championed the
cause Of the common people, to use
that phrase. 1t is gratifying to us,
as it will be to most voters of the dis
trict, to observe the common sense
viewpoint rom which Mr.. Trainor
looks upon the questions to enter in
to the campaign, and we are also con
fident that to the best of his ability
he will fulfil every promise or pledge
made.
Especially are his views relating
to labor and capital and the public to
be commended. Too many politicians
we fear, lose sight of the interest and
welfare of the public in these con-
troversies that are constantly arising
between the laboyer and his employ
er. To these interested parties he
has promised proper consideration
with the iateresNs Of the public upper
most.
That is tGhe kind of representative
thai every state should have and one
we will get in Mr.. Trainor.
HIS yieWs or he Volstead Act and
the Eighteenth tmcndmeat are not

isling Of all alcoholic beverages. and
Thilc we would like to have beers
and light wires restored, we believe
that Congress and the states should
prescribe the method of distribution"
His idea of taxes are safe, sane,
and along the right lines. The com
mon csitism today directed toward
our government and it's administra-
ton is directed toward the taxes now
being levied. He proposes for one
thing in this connection, to abolish
unnecessary and expensive depart
ments." God be praised! 1t SHOULD
have been started long ago, and the
raid on public funds thus dimishet
by those in power.
This being an agricultural distric
he hasn't lost sight of the farmers il
terests in his announcement, and the!

All in all, it strikes US as being ,
set of pledges worthy of adoption
and we hope and feel that it will ap
peal to a majority of voters of thi
district as it does to us-the bes
ever.

OF A.W. FOote of Cornwall, vt.

the office Of Lieutenant-Gover-
nor.
Cornwall, VT,
March 20
Editor of "Herald"-
l shall be a candidate for the
office of Lieutenant Governor
as a Republican in the Primar-
les to be held in the coming
September. | appeal directly
to each and all of my friends
for their support.
In times of unrest like the
present, the conserving influ-
ence is the American home. I
would encourage every young
man, especially the returning
soldiers, to own a home, either
a farm or a village home.
If nominated and elected, 7
will do all in my power to re
duce the present heavy Stat
tax rate, increased from 05
cents on the dollar to 40. By
this, | don't mean, that I would
any really necessary improve
ment for the good of all the
people of Vermont, including
road Improvement, but would
insist that every dollar raised
by taxation be honestly and
carefully expended, and that
the State receive full value for
every dollar.
With the added income from
Federal Aid and the great in
crease in money available from
the automobile and auto-truck
licenses, the roads can be i'm
proved without burdensome
tax for this purpose.

THE FERRY AT WAvERLY TO BF
RESTORED SOON

One Of the first constructive ac-
complishments of the Chamber of
Commerce was the successful move
ment to have ferry service restored
across the Tombigbec River at
Waverly.
A committee Of the Chamber APP
peared before the Board and urged
the need of the ferry, and its vital
Importance to Columbus and to the
community served by the ferry.
The Board appointed Mr.. Wallace
Stevens to receive bids for the con
struction Of new ferry, or the ade-
quate repair Of the old one, aad@he
Board will meet in adjourned session
on November Goth, to finally pass on
the matter.
This action on the part of the Boarc
insures the restoration of the ferry
service at Waverly. The ferry has
been out of commission for months
and lack of service there has been a
source of much Inconvenience, and has
been costly to Columbus and to the
people of the community from an eco
nomic standpoint.

THE WORLDS GREATEST EVENT

Let your mind run back to the 18th
day Of November, 1918. You will re-
call the joyous and happy day when
the news was flashed round the world
that war had ended.
In every nook and corner of the
earth; in every nation in the world;
here in Columbus, the news was re-
ceived with exultant JOY and glad
ness. 1t was the most memorable and
the most momentous event this old
world has ever known--except the
birth Of the Savior of Men twenty
centuries ago.
We who live in this day and age
have witnessed the most stirring
events that have marked the advance
of human history, and Armistice
Day-affectlng and touching the peo-
Piles of the whole world--will live
through all the ages that aresto come,
imperishable, an epoch-marking event
in human history.
Tomorrow we come again to the ala
niversary of Armistice Day. 1t will
be celebrated in Columbus on an elab-
crate scale. But, through it all, we
should not lose sight Of nor fail to
pay honor and tribute to the memory
of the brave and courageous boys
who gave their lives on the fields
Of France and in the home camps that
liberty, justice and right might pre-.
vail in the world.
They are sleeping the long sleep
some in the soil of France, others il
the bosom of the homeland and to.
morrow grateful nation should alC
will pay tribute to their memory.
To the Gold Star Mothers ant
Fathers the day will be one Of deer
significance. To them will com,
trooping memories of the brave boys
who went out to vindicate the honor
of their native land, and who did no
come back, but fell on the field o
honor. Their sadness will be tenn
pered by the consciousness that thei
boy gave his life in the creates
cause, and in defense Of the creates
country the world has ever known.

COMMUNICATED
Married Life.

Editor The Dispatch:
| Lived under the spirit of Noblesse
Oblige, no marriage is failure
When this spirit moves both husband
and wife, human frailties reach nc
point of fracture before death dc
us part" for Noblesse Oblige is the
overcomer.
Aside from the question Of whether
our ingrowing institutions of matri-
mony and alimony are Natures best
assistants in her process of race per-
petuation, this Is the form we are
lpracticing.
Our tolerance of many opinions and
shades of opinion, and adverse regula-
tons and restrictions varying in states
and localities, illustrate the freedom
Of soul we enjoy under our universal
order of nobility, and perhaps unduly
agitate us.
The pursuit of happiness" cannot
be standardized like the nine parts Of
a flivver. We each pursue it, win it,
lose it in our own way--under our
American equality Of opportunity.
Noblesse 0blige meets our individ-
ual obligations. All the human laws
in the world cannot displace Noblesse
Oblige, and marital happiness cannot
be legislated.
But we simply cannot disrupt or
make a failure of any conjugal union
if there is a mutual understanding Of
Noblesse 0blige, with the wish and
the will to apply it.
Conversely, every broken marriage,
every divorce, is the external evidence
of the inward failure to apply
Noblesse Oblige to the perplexing sit
uations Of married life.

1t is bad luck to meet barking dog
early in the morning.
II You step on dog there win en-.
sue a change In your vocation.
The lively barking Of dogs in Lent
is a sign Of wedding to which there
Is much objection.
The Indians offered up a small dog
when child lay sick, supposing the
dog to be the cause.
Another negro superstition IS that
a little white dog il supposed to be
messenger of coming evil.
Another Interpretation of the dog
bowling heavenward is that 1t fore
tells great fire disaster.
If you meet a mastiff and 1t makes
friends with you you will soon meet
someone who will prove a fine friend.
Did you know II you make wish
on seeing a spotted dog and you do
not see it again you win get your
wish?
Naturally anything which has pro-
duced such splendid tributes in prose,
In poetry and in human devotion as
dog would have much folklore ac-
cumulated around it.
Everybody is familiar with the south.
