Don't Kick Your Town.
(Morrisville Messenger.)


There is no better evidence of a
commendable community spirit than
that of loyalty to town in which q
person lives
If a town is worth living in it is
worth defending and supporting in
its effort to advance with the rest of
the world
Yet. in almost every community
you viii find people who can see moth
ing good In their surroundings.
They can not recognize the fact
that though it may be humble, it vet
is home-that 1T has clothed them.
fed them, and cared for them in sick
ness and in health and has furnished
them friends who have been stead
fast and true
They magnify its imperfections and
spread clouds wherever they go.
They often make life miserable for
others and invaribly make it a re-
preach to themselves.
But there is q brighter side to this
story.
The abuse these shortsighted peo-
pie heap upon their place of abode
generally falls upon unsympathetic
ears.
Their neighbors and friends know
them as they areas people who
might have been valuable citizens
capable of constructive work, but
whose dispositions have been warped
IN younger days, possibly through no
particular fault of their own.
Inelr criticisms are listened to with
good natured patience, but are for
gotten about as soon as uttered.

PRESSUIPPINGS
Dale, Three to One.
(Rutland Herald)

On the east side, Gibson and
Trainor are supposed to be on the
point of opening up a speaking cam
paign. John Gordon certainly won't
be estopped from public conversation
and Porter Dale is emitting extensive
remarks and amputating logs OF ire
wood by the sawmill process.
From what l could gather, l should
be inclined to give Dale Essex, "
leans and Caledonia counties; Gor-
don Washington county, Orange coun-
~ No-man's land; Windsor county,
Trainor: Windham county, Gibson.
OF course speaking campaigns IN
Barre. Montpelier, ST. Johnsbury,
Barton and Newport might start
something against Gordon. and Dale
but 1 should not be surprised II the
final lineup were along the lines sug-
gested herewith.

Emery Rapidly Gaining Ground
(Rarre TimeS)


Some of those who are talking pol
itics make the assertion quite Doioly
that the contest for the Republican
non1ination for governor of Vermont
lies between Curtis S. Emery OF New
mort and F. H. Rabbit of Bellows
Fails. Frank w. Agan of Ludlow not
making any particular headway and
Lanes Hardness of Springfield having
been all but eliminated from consider
ation. 1t is significant because when
Mr.. Emery first entered the contest
he was not considered seriously by
MANY of the down-state polltlclans
who are supporting either Babb1tt or
HARNESS. Evidently Mr. Emery has
been making considerable progress
during the last few weeks as the real
man is becoming known and the claim
about his being a perpetual ONCE
holder is being successfully re1uteo.
As matter of fact, about the only
argument, so-called, that mas Deen
brought against Mr.. Emery IS tnat
he has held more than one once III MS
long and useful career.
Camp Possibilities Unlimited
Barre Times)
Vermont possibility that is being
developed with considerable rapldlIy
this wear is the opportunity afforded
bv nature and geographical surround
ings for the establishment of sum,
mer vacation camps for boys and
girls. These camps are being started
in various parts of the state, chiefly
on the lake and pond shores but some
times in the regions where land at
fractions furnish the greatest induce
ments. These camps are attracting
bows and girls from other states, and
the fame of Vermont as place Tor
vacation and recreation is being sent
broadcast over the eastern section OF
the country. Naturally enough, the
parents of the young people are like
ly to turn their course toward Yer
mont in order to make visits Of m
spection, if not to remain for con-
siderable period in the vicinity of the
camps while their young people are
enjoying the life in the open. Yer
mont lends itself to this sort of va
cation life unusually well, and these
camps are expected to multiply dur
ing the next few years. There is
fine chance for business development
along this line.

with fragrant smokes.
Judge Dayton, who is an elder in

WILL HISTORY REPEAT
ITSELF IN WEST VA.
Three States With Good Roads Have
Five Times AZ Many Automobiles
as West Virginia.

Three states-New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan-have from six
to eight times as many automobiles
registered as West Virginia.
OF course, they are larger states,
but his does not have as much to do
with 1t as the fact that each Of these
three states have good roads running
throughout them, connecting the coun-
ty seats.
New York had $4,000 motor vehi-
cles registered on May /.
Michigan had 345,OOO.
Pennsylvania had 443,413.
West Virginia has 5000.
Give this state comprehensive sys-
TEN Of state highways and the regis
tration will jump to 250,OOO. The
West Virginia Good Roads Federation
maintains ratification Of the proposed
good roads amendment to the state
constitution will not make 1t necessary
to levy direct tax to take care Of any
bonds which may be issued.
It Is claimed that the automobile
registration will increase to such an
extent that the bonds can easily be re-
tired in period Of thirty years with
a fund created from auto license rev.
enue.

TAKE HIGH OFFICE MARCH 4
That Day Officially Set for Irauaura.
ton Of tho President Of the
United States.

President Washington was inaug-
urated for his second term, beginning
March 4, 1893, and all the other pres
idents, except four, who were :naug-
urated March 5, because the 4th fell
on Sunday.
The four exceptions were Presidents
Monroe, second term, 1921; Taylor.
1910; Hayes, 1877; and President VIII
sons second term, 1917. President
Hayes took the oath March 3, 1877,
and was formally inaugurated on the
following Monday. President Wilson
took the oath for his second term on
Sunday, March 4. The usual inaug-
uratioD parade took place the next
day.
The question as to whether, in the
event OF March falling on Sunday
at the beginning Of term, there being
an interregnum of one full day in the
Office, was first brought by John
Quincy Adams when he was secretary
of state. He applied for dictum Of
the Supreme court to guide the man
ner of inaugurating President Monroe
for his second term. The opinion Of
Chief Justice Marshall does not pro-
hibit the president from taking the
oath and entering his duties imme-
diately after midnight Of March 3,
even If March 4 falls on Sunday.
