COlby's Turn Now.
(St. Adams Messenger.


1t is said that the state department is
contemplating sending a special mission
to South America, headed by Secretary
Colby, to visit the countries of that con-
tinent. One can easily believe it will be
done. This has been the greatest travel
ing administration on record. 1t hasn't
been exactly an administration on wheels,
for it has depended on ships more than
anything else. If there is any member
OF the cabinet who has not made a voy-
age de luxe at public expense, accom-
panied by a retinue Of servants and rela-
tives. he must have been sick and unable
to attempt it, Secretary Colby has been
in the cabinet only a short time, but 1t
has been long enough for the tentative
arrangement of plans for junket. Evil
IDENTIFY it isn't intended that the oppor-
tunity should be ignored. 1t would be
interesting to know Just what these
junkets have cost the taxpayer, with war
ships treated as private yachts and all
the rest of it, One would think that
there was no public business to be, at
tended to at Washington the way these
Democratic Office holders have been gal
Hvanting around over the face of the
globe

Hartness,s Election Statement.
(Barre Times. J

The mental attitude which Governor
elect Hardness of Vermont takes toward
his election is refreshing. He does not
consider that the tremendous plurality
accorded him and the others on the ticket
was an endorsement of personalities
but. rather. a tribute to Republican prin'
ciples. Furthermore. he is ready to adj
nit that the state ticket received a very
considerable pull from the national
ticket. Harding and Coolidge. At the
same time. the people of the state realize
that their great confidence in Hartness
was in large measure responsible for the
tremendous plurality given him. Had
Hardness been man of doubtful quality
there would have been a slashing of the
state ticket in favor of the Democratic
nominee. Martin. who is held in high es-
teen by the comparatively few who are
acquainted with him.

AS to Essex Junk.
Huntington Clipper.

Several of the joke editors could not re-
sist the temptation of poking fun at the
Essex Junction station, the recent fire
there furnishing the fuel. Some of then
were real sarcastic. The station is still
there and viii probably stay for few
generations. So far as the people of Es-
sex are concerned they have no difficulty
in getting on the right train at their home
station The chief trouble seems to be
with a few smart Vermont editors whose
mode of travel is limited to an occasional
trolley ride or a ride behind old Dobbin
People of intelligence have no difficulty
in making the right change of cars at the
Essex Junction station-the boobS always
go wrong.

those who want to see some real con-
structive and progressive steps under
taken at the next session, because the
question of education is full of gum
powder and lends itself easily to a dis
astrous explosion if the conclusive ell
ement is at hand. There is no doubt it
viii be at hand in Montpelier this win
ter. Notice has already been served to
this effect.
As time goes by the plans of the as
sailants of the present system will be-
come more and more a matter of public
information, but The Messenger urges its
readers to investigate carefully before
certain differences from certain allega-
tions are accepted. 1t is possible that
the attack will be so overdone as to de-
feat itself by the very extremity to which
it is carried.
The Messenger feels that we have
had honest and honorable men at the
head of our school system. 1t does not
claim that the system is perfect, but it
does believe that it has been conducted
along generally constructive lines and
that IT errors have been made, they have
been errors of judgment, not of intent.
I Certain of the critics do not have this
| feeling, but express the opinion that there
has been a deliberate, purposeful and inn
proper attempt to cripple our normal
schools.
The Messengers only interest in the
whole situation is the general good of
The commonwealth. 1t does not want
to have our legislative time and ability
| dissipated in an educational fight that
| finds its inception in what is fundament-
ally a local interest, to be widened in it's
scope by an appeal to emotion instead of
to intellect. an appeal that it may be in
tended to be made effective by a fast and
I loose playing with differences and al
legged purposes.
If there are points where the system
| may be improved, well and good that is
what a legislature is for But the test
! of all proposals should be the best in
| terest of the state. And right here is
a good time to state that the friends of
I the normal schools will be serving their
own interests if they confine themselves
| to the one issue and do not launch out
on a general attack on all things educa-
| tional as they exist at this time.
1t is within the range of the possible
that unless this is done the public will
| become so disguised with the whole af-
| fair that it will cry out for an end being
put to the bedevilment of the whole ses-
sion because of the selfish desires of
small groups, and bring such a weight
| of popular opinion to bear on the Iegis-
| lators that the whole subject will be
| driven from the boards in one broad
| sweep. 1t is possible to overdo even a
| good thing.
