1t would be interesting to know how
many Of the members of the Republican
state committee who joined unani-
mously in urging Governor Clement to
call a special session of the Legislature
in order to act on the federal suffrage
amendment really wanted this session
called or would have asked the gov
ernor to call it if they hadn't been
pretty confident in advance of his de-
termination not to do so Just how
much political capital will be made

SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1920.
PALMER AND MCADOo.

Attorney General Palmer has an
nounced he will be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the Presi-
dency and William McAdoo apparently
is willing to accept the nomination.
Each one has been discussing public
problems in the press and their candi-
dacies give their views especial inter
est at this time.
Mr.. Palmer says his chief issue will
be the league of nations as a means
of minimizing wars. He will also OPP
pose universal training, will advocate
regulation of trusts probably by fed
eral licensing and advocate the en-
forcement of the national prohibition
Apparently he win appeal to federal
Office holders to advance his candidacy.
This is indicated by the secret meeting
and banquet at Burlington reported to
have been rendered by United States
District Attorney v A. Billiard, Federal
Collector of Internal Revenue j. +.
Kennedy and Federal Judge Harland
B. Howe, all of Burlington. The meet
ing was addressed by two members of
the federal department of justice from
other states. Other federal officers
present were: P. c. Dodge, postmaster
at Randolph; H. G. Comings of ST. AL
bans, collector of customs and G. w.
Burleson of st. Adams, also Of the Gus
toms office; Henry Conlin of Winooski,
clerk of the federal court; J. E. Burke
of Burlington, postmaster; Captain
Burke of the internal revenue office at
Burlington; J. ]. Enright of Burling-
ton, United States commissioner; A. P
Carpenter of Brattleboro, United States
marshal; H. C. Shurtleff of Montpe-
lier, United States commissioner; NJ G..
Leary of Burlington, referee in bank
ruptcy. 1t was the greatest round up
Of federal office holders for a political
candidate the state of Vermont has re-
Gently seen.
Mr.. McAdoo has Just come out with
4 statement that an immediate reduc-
ton of billion dollars a year should
be made in federal taxes. He would
effect this by postponing the creation

Indebtedness of Europe until the Eu-
ropean countries are ready to pay it
| He, too, apparently is to have the back
| ing of federal office holders, Postmas-
ter General Burleson having come out
in his support. That the postmasters
of the country will be expected to as
sist their chief in putting McAdoc
across may reasonably be deducted.
The two most prominent Democratic
| candidates at this time are committed
to an international issue and the post
ponement of paying the nation s debts
| The people may endorse these posi-
tions but it would seem that a radical

government employees and the result
ant reduction of government expenses

stronger appeal to Americans. The
people may also resent the employment
of so many federal Office holders for
the promotion of personal political
| booms.

We are reminded by an official of the
department of agriculture that when
we feed the birds we should include in
their rations plenty of grit which is
necessary for their digestive apparatus.
He suggests giving them sand, coal
ashes, powdered brick, plaster or pow
dered crockery, and says that coal
ashes thrown on the snow daily is as
attractive to the birds as grain.

That old Fashioned Cook Book.

AAdl oIu dSuIUHeu SoOk BOOK
How dear to my heart is that old fash
Toned cook book.
Its pages SO filed with all we hold
dear
It's recipes TEEN with such tasty sug-
gestions,
But these days of high costs make
them seem really queer.
Take one dozen eggs and pound of
fresh butter,
Add one pint of cream, much sugar
and spice. -
1t tells of baked hams and smothered
spring chickens;
Not word about saving or aught
about price
Chorus:
That old fashioned cook book,
That paper bound cook book
Oh, long has it lain with its covers
closed fast;
It's pages are useless.
Our cakes must be eggless;
That pound of fresh butter s a thing
of the past.
