TIE FATHER" OF THE STATE
HOSPITAL.

The late Dr. Don d. Grout of Water
bury might we'll be considered the ia
Their of the great institution at Wa.
terbury, inssmuch as he sponsored the
bill in the legislature for the location
and construction of the state hospital
for the insane, was a trustee Of the in
stitution for several years, personally
superintended the construction Of some
of the buildings and then was the ad-
illustrative head OF the hospital for
many years In fact. DIR. Grout was
wholly bound up in the welfare Of the
state hospital for the insane, and he
devoted himself so assiduously to the
work as directing head that his health
virtually gave way under the strain
causing him to resign. That the hos
pital has reached its present stage Of
efficiency is largely due to the energies
and r-sightedness Of DIR. Grout; and
the people Of the state owe a debt Of
gratitude to him for the splendid work
be did in building up the Institution.

the bonds or are willing to have the
bonds handed down to the rightful
heirs. But if they get uneasy, panicky
or merely anxious to get some ready
money, they have themselves to blame
for what losses they are sustaining by
reason of the bonds selling consider
ABLY below par, some of them even
lower than 90 cents on the dollar. The
mad rush to get rid of the bonds is in
large part responsible for the decline
in the selling price on the market, al
though, of course, it would be natural
for the bonds to sell under par because
of the huge amount issued by the gov
eminent.
Lest Others should join in that mad
rush. it should be called to their at.
tention that the bonds are just as good
to-day as they were when purchased
or as good as any bonds OF the United
States government ever were; and,
moreover, the bonds are bringing in a
good return semi-annually on the in
vestment. Keep the bonds, clip your
coupons with the regularity OF clock
work and when the proper time comes
cash them for their face value. In
deed, if you have some ready money
increase your holdings of Liberty
bonds by buying up the bonds which
are being dumped on the market by
the ady-cash people, for you will be
able to buy them at figure which will
insure return of over 5 per cent on
the Investment.

CURRENT COMMENT
Choosing a Governor.

Voting for gubernatorial candidate
mainly because his inclinations are
''dry" or wet" in the common accep-
tation of those terms, is without ques-
ton the privilege of the voter whose
inclinations may be dry" or the voter
whose inclnations may be wet. But
it may safely be characterized as
pastme instead of requisite, so lar
as the scope of the gubernatorial Office
is concerned; for governor, as gov
ernor, has no control whatever over the
development of popular action on any
national or state question-as witness
the record OF the present administra-
tion.
The Tribune is not alone in this view
of the matter by any means. Several
OF our exchanges have declared, IN sub
stance, that the average man fails to
see what the 18th amendment or the
Volstead act has to do with the gov
ernorship of Vermont.
Correct. The average mar" wants
some other qualification in candidate.
He wants all-around fitness for the po-
sition. He wants business ability and
the energy that will do things" for the
state. He wants interest in and devo-
ton to the states welfare in every re-
spect. The Tribune believes that these
qualifications can be discovered in Lud-
lows candidate, Frank w. Agan. And
that is why it also believes that sat
isfactory administration of state at
fairs would be Forthcoming at his
hands. One candidate makes much OF
the fact that he stands for IAN indus.
trial Vermont Well, industrial de-
velopment is Frank Agan's best hold,
so to speak, and his local record as an
industrial developer proves it.
We cannot all think alike as to the
18th amendment. As to the Volstead
act, some of us may think it could
safely be modified; Others may differ
even from that view of it. But what
we think, or how we differ on any mat
ter which affects the nation as whole
has mighty little to do with picking
out a man to fill the governors chair
and look after our nearby interests
What we want is a man who viii stand
the test from the time he is elected un-
ill his successor is inaugurated, and
throw what influence he has for the
very best interests of the people of the
whole state-Ludlow Tribune.

Save the Maple Sugar,

Those who thought that after the
war they would have plenty of sugar
at the old price, have been doomed to
disappointment. Not only is sugar
scarce, it is high We are warned
that a severe shortage of the commod-
ity is due by the latter part of the
summer. and Vermont farmers who are
wise will profit by this warning and
store away in the back pantry enough
of their springs crop of maple sugar
to supply sweetenin' for family use,
Various reasons are given for the lack
of sugar throughout the country, and
some are laying the trouble to prohi-
bNion. It seems that since booze has
ceased to flow so freely, men have tax

soft drinks, in an effort to queneh the
thirst that water viii not satisfy, and
of course, all this takes sugar.
One is never sure such excuses FOR
shortage are valid, however. II Is also
claimed that the wharves of Cuba are
groaning with the big quantities Of raw
sugar waiting shipments to the United
states. and that it is being taken away
at rapid rate for delivery TO refiner-
les. No one has seen this statement de-
MED
II would seem as though something
should be done to stabilize the sugar
market. There seems to be no power
in operation at present TO prevent the
price of this essential commodity from
soaring, and its being withheld from
people only in limited quantities

theless is an undercurrent of growing
strength in favor of the candidacy Of
