TELL ABOUT YOUR TOWN.

In offering prizes for the best com
positions regarding Vermont cities and
towns, as written by students in high
schools, training classes and academies
in Vermont, the Hotel Association Of
Vermont is likely to become swamped
with literary contributions but at the
same time it will be doing good
work in focusing attention Of the
young people OF Vermont on their own
state, or, more accurately, on their
own town. Nearly every student of
high school age considers himself or
herself competent to write more or
less interestingly of conditions found
in his or her home town; and no doubt
very large number of such students
will avail themselves of the chance to
win some part of the 800 offered by
the Hotel association as prizes. The
effort should not be treated lightly
put should be gone about only alter
serious contemplation, as there is some
thing else besides the money consider
alton in view, and that is the possibil-
ity of this or that town being given
considerable desirable publicity Let
the young people enter into the COM
petition, but let them consider the
subject well before putting their
thoughts on paper. What the Hotel as
ISOLATION wants is portrayal of the
attractive features of the city or town,
the material to be used later, per
haps, in giving publicity to the state
Of course, it goes without saying that
anything fanciful or imaginative is out
IF the question. 1t must be fact and
not fancy.

weather is pleasant those days the at
tendance is likely to be sufficient to
meet expenses; if the weather is rainy
and cold the receipts are likely to
fall far short of the expenditures.
Many fair associations run behind be-
cause not favored with good weather,
although during the season now com
ing to close they have. been unusual
ly, fortunate. For instance, there is
the Dog River Valley Fair association,
which, more often than not, meets adj
verse weather conditions. This year
the association at Mortified has had
three days of well-nigh perfect wealth
er for outdoor exhibitions. Neverthe-
less, the matter of rain insurance must
look rather attractive.

country in defence of American rights
and liberties and of signalling the
| opening of the Washington conference
| for the limitation of araments In
the hearts and the reasoning of Ameri-
cans, it is impossible as it would be
fatty undesirable, that the honor to
the unknown hero should not come
first. This is the great work that was
consummated on that memorable
day---that America was made safe and
kept free, that foreign aggression and
insolence We're thwarted and rebuked,
that the fruits of the work of the faith
ers and founders of the Republic were
assured and perpetuated.
Standing by the side of the grave of
the young soldier who typifies the un-
grudging and self -abnegating service
of all, the people could not do other
wise than put above all other things
the noble sentiment which animated
him. The unknown soldier sought no
honors when he died. To him, on the
field of battle, fell the need of the un-
laureled grave; his was the untrumpet-
ed sacrifice 1t was the Gordon of dark
ness, it might be of oblivion, that dec
son the American people will recognize
on November IL, on the green hillside
at Arlington, the transcendent service;
their homage will be the supreme dec
grafton of the representative hero. At
such a moment, the sentiment of the
defence of the fatherland cannot be
forgotten, or for moment overlooked.
A worthy object indeed, the for
warding of the cause of real and true
world amity, WILL it is understood, on
this day be interviewer with the hon.
age of the nation to the unknown hero.
Surely there can be no harm in that.
Who is there who does not desire that
the nations shall dwell together in
peaceg 1t was by means of such I'M
selfish heroism as that of the unknown
dead soldier that the foundations of
the worlds peace were surely laid. The |
of that peace If it ever |
comes, must arrive by the road of his |
sacrifice and the sacrifice of all the |
brave boys who marched with him, |
fate willed that they should /
fall unknown and unidentified as he |
did, whether their names and their |
death or wounds were duly emblazoned |
on the record and recognized on their /
honored tombs, or whether they re-
turned safe and sound to the well
coming arms of their kindred. 1t is
sweet and proper to die for ones
and all the sweeter, indeed,
must it be if the sacrifice brings near
" the day when no more of such
glorious self-immolations for home and
Tod and country are required. -Bos-

CURRENT COMMENT
Is Up to tie People.

60 far as the male Vermont speak
ers at the citizenship conference Mt
the University of Vermont, held m-
der the auspices of the League of
Women Voters, were concerned, state
expenses was the big issue. And yet,
with the possible exception Of Repre-
sentative Frank Z Barber, none of
those who were complaining about the
cost of running the government, en-
tered into any extensive bin of par
ticulars.
1t is not to be wondered at that
our expenses should cause concern but
in the final analysis there can be no
correction by artificial methods. We
have budget law now, possibly it
might be improved if it were con-
verted into an executive budget, but
budget can not save us If we don't
want to make the proper use of it.
The Rutland Herald suggests an ar
rangement by which all bills carrying
an appropriation must 60 automatical-
ly TO the appropriations committee.
This might be mechanical help, If
the committee were not swamped by
work, but here again no cure would
result. The legislature has power over
the purse, both in raising money and
in spending it. The governor enters
into a legislative relationship through
his power to veto, but he has been de-
MED the item veto so that his power
is not what 10 easily might be. No
committee, budget or appropriation,
can dictate to the legislature and it
is true that at. Montpelier the commit
tee is not held in the same regard as
il is in Washington, whore practically
all legislation is a matter of commit
tee agreement.
The Messenger does not wish to be
understood as throwing cold water ON
any plan of improving legislative ma
but il feels that it is well to
point out that the only way the ex-
penses of government can be lessened |
Is by electing men and women to go |
to Montpelier who are in favor of re-
ducing expenditures. If the present
tax burden is too high the people have
it in their hands to bring about
change.
This 10 point that should be con-
tinually pressed home. If people get
the idea that they are at the mercy
