EPIDEMIC OF ENFORCEMENT.

Reports from many cities throughout the United
States that the police authorities engaged in
crusade against criminals and organized vice. with
attention the violators of the national
prohibition amendment having some success.
No doubt these activities against violators OF the
law needed and the zeal shown by the law-en-
forcement officials is altogether commendable, but
one is led to wonder why conditions should be per-
to reach their present degree Of undesirable
ity. There is the example OF the person who would

To apply for modest loan.

And his voice was a mumbling

While I looked at his bleary eyes,

Another man with a widowed face,
And arrayed in a fashion strange.

And desired a piece Of change.

A portly man with a hating gait,
And in somebody else's coat
Stopped at my house one day TO

That he wanted a five case note.

SIX MONTHS FOR MRS. PARKER.
Woman Indicted With Long For Barre
Murder Going to House of Correction

MONTPELIER. April 24,-Mrs. Isa-
belle Parker of Barre, who was indicted
for murder with George A. Long last
year for the killing of Mrs. Lucina
Broadwell. and who later was convicted
in Washington county court on charges of
keeping house of i'll fame, will be sent
next week to the house of correction to
begin her six months sentence. Mrs.
Parker was sentenced more than six
months ago. but at that time pleaded
that because of i'll health it would be fatal
for her to be confined in the state institu-
tion and as result she has been at her
home in Barre for six months or more.
Governor Clement was asked to pardon
the woman but has refused and instead
has issued commitment order, SO that
the woman will be confined some time
next week. 1t is said that Mrs Parker
has been examined by numerous physi-
clans

of the year has been scarcely noticeable
The settlement of the land contracts
showed that it was most difficult to OBJ
tain money with which to finance spec
ulatlve deals and many spectators lost
their forfeit money because no loan was
available. The eastern insurance COM
panles, however, are now making moderate
commitments to care for the farm mort
gage business and their agents are re-
celving applications regularly The loans
of the savings banks of New Hampshire
and Vermont on Western farms have
grown steadily for. the past decade and
have proved satisfactory in that losses
have been practically eliminated That the
West will have to have large funds for
farm loans is evident from the high cost
of land and the need of additional capi-
tai for almost every beginner. Imple-
ments, seed and all the expensive equip
ment in the power machinery, becoming
a necessity on the average farm, call for
heavy Investment. Then. the farm with
out at least one motor car is the excep-
ton and this costs more than the average
implement equipment Of the farm three
years ago So there is by no means the
abundance of surplus money on the farm
that the urban dweller may believe.
Where it formerly was considered fan
debt to carry 81 900 on a l60-acre farm
now there is more likely to be $1,000 to
$4,000 in a mortgage, if the owner Is 9

Both Palmer and McAdoo are part and
parcel of the Wilson regime. In count
ing up the resentment vote which any
administration in power for eight years
is bound to accumulate, the selection
of a candidate who would stand on
record outside of Washington is a con
sideration not to be lightly disregarded.
For if the truth be known the Demo
cratic pilgrims from all parts of the
country who visit the various head
quarters here tell plaintive tales of dis
content in the fold The results in
Georgia are none to pleasing to the
Write House now that the complete re-
turns are available. Nor 6can it be
said that the assured presence of Will
liam Jennings Bryan as a delegate at
San Francisco is altogether cause for
jubilation in executive quarters. 1t is
too early for the Democratic leaders
themselves to make predictions. They
all admit the situation is full of UNI
certainties. Some of the influential men
here are for Palmer, some for McAdoo
and some for Cox and there appears on
the horizon the beginnings of Champ
Clark BOOM This may develop seriously
for the other candidates. Mr.. Clark
is well liked by the organization men in
the party-and they will control the
convention. He brings to his case a
feeling of sympathy over what hap
pened in 1912 when he had a majority
of the enough to win in a
Republican. convent ion-but not enough
under the two-thirds rule of the Dem
| ocrats Moreover, Mr.. Hearst who is
so powerful. facter in.the success of
Hiram Johnson would throw his support
to Mr.. Clark AS @for Wilson antagon-
isms, Mr.. Clark wouldn t inherit any
of those, and his record at the capital
has been good He has incidentally
played bafpf and stood for the pro-
gram outlined by Mr.. Wilson for con-
gress and has never allowed hissdefeat
at Baltimore to be the basis for a vim
dictive revolt against the Wilson lead
ership.
The Democratic race has not entered
upon It's final stages. But the entrance
of Cox and Clark means that the choice
is not going to be merely one between
Palmer and McAdoo. Others will be
very much in the field

CaEforia.

Oh, what is California? Forsooth
A story set to poetry in rhyme
Or some glad hint of God where all the
time
One may renew his promises of youth
All through the day the sun shines
thro' the blue
The air is balmy, fragrant breathed
and mild
Like the soft kisses of some bashful
child
When first she turns her dimpled cheek
to you.
The sun goes down in eyerchanging
sky,
Night noises come to lull one to repose
The zephyr softly lisping to the rose
Or tree toads chirping far off sweet
and high.
Then welcome night and welcome com
ing day
That soon will go to join the evermore.
The little ripples wander to the shore
Far off | glimpse the boats upon the
bay.
Live on forever! Oh, unchanging cline.
Thy flowers. and trees are dear beyond
compare,
And they who sing thy praises oft and
fair
Shall fix thy status to the end of time.
