HARTNESS PUTS ONE OVER

About the most striking bit of ef-
frontery this paper has noticed in
politics of the state administration in
recent years is that exhibited by Gov.
Hardness in his method of handling
the road situation which arose dur
ing the last session Of the legislature
largely through his own undiplomat-
ic manner of working with others.
After unnecessarily smurching
Bates before the legislature; after
that body failed to confirm one G.. M.
Brooks of Keene, N. H., for highway
commissioner; after an arrangement
with the legislature whereby they un-
derstood highway board was to be
formed in which Mr.. Bates was to
have something authoritative to say
with reference to road matters; af-
ter specifying in the law that YER
mont man should be commissioner;
after appointing a Vermont man to
that position, then Gov. Hardness,
through the highway board, makes
this same Brooks, assistant to the
previously appointed Commissioner
Dix.
Then the Springfield paper, which
appears to be a champion of it's dis
tinguished townsman whether that
person be right or wrong, comes out
in a boastful attitude and says that
Governor Hartness is to have his
way after all. Splendid spirit to ex-
hibit after charging Bates and his
friends with wrong motives, bad
faith and poor judgment.
One must admit Bates has been,
was, and is trimmed to fragile and
if the Springfield mouthpiece of Gov.
Hartness finds pleasure in boasting of
the proves of the governor, while
growing over his methods, then one
can judge for oneself the true spirit
of Mr.. Hardness. 1t is more than Mr..
Bates that something is being put
over on, it is the state itself. Up to
now the highway commissioner has
drawn a very small salary and been
asked to do very great deal of act
ual supervisory work. Now the
highway commission, dominated by
Governor Hardness, not only has a
high priced commissioner and mem
bers of the commission to pay, but
now has added to this expense an as
sistant commissioner or two. Yes,
someone has put something over on
Vermont.

HARDSHIP A FRIEND

President John M. Thomas, for
merly of Middlebury, now of the
Pennsylvania State college, in his
characteristic remark when he de-
clared that for the youth of the day
hardship is a friend. He said: cit
is we'll for man to face difficulty
in his youth. Ease is no friend of
ours, but hardship, trial, danger,
temptation, the utmost burden a man
can stand and not lose his spirit
these are his truest friends.
81 covet for you each one the hard
est place he can find, the place of
severest toll and greatest sacrifice,
for it is in the meeting of a task,
worthy of him and little larger and
more difficult than he can ever ac-
complish to his satisfaction, that a
man finds lasting JOY"
President Thomas is himself an ex-
ponent of the theory he advances.
He has wrestled with mighty prob
lens in the past and overcame them.
Middlebury college is a monument to
the interchangeable energy of the man
who was daunted by no obstacles.
When he went after anything he u.s.
ually brought it home. And there
never was time when young men
needed this lesson more than they do
today. The prizes of the age are not
given to sloth and Incidence. The
plums of success will not drop into
anyone's lap. 1t is evermore true
the clinging fingers of fate. The
worlds greatest men have been era
died in poverty and have won their
victories by carrying a cross.

MILLER'S DEFENDANTS
PLAN TO APPEAL CASE
Motion for a New Trial for
Robert Miller, Convicted,
Denied By Stanton

A motion for new trial for Robert
Miller, who was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment at the February term of
district court here for murder in the
SECOND degree in connection with the
killing of Alfred w. Fenton near Bau-
dette, was made before Judge c. w.
Stanton September 6. The decision
of the judge has now been filed deny
ing the motion for a new trial, and
the defendant will have his case APP
pealed to supreme court.
Middleton & Middleton of Bau
dette and NJ. J. Daily of Perham were
the defendants of the motion for Il
new trial, while County Attorney
Graham M. Torrance represented the
state.
Miller was sentenced to life I'M
prisonment at Saltwater although his
brother George is alleged to have
done the actual shooting which is said
to have caused the death of Fenton,
who was mistaken for man by the
name of Bowman. George Miller was
acquitted at the February term, but
Robert was given sentence. 1t is be-
lieved that he directed his brother to
do the shooting and was in that way
responsible for the killing.

also to the development Of the local

upon the necessity OF getting the

assist in developing the peat lands
and swamp lands of the northern

The meeting of the Civic and Com
merce association Wednesday noon
was one Of the most interesting and
largely attended meetings held for
some time During the, luncheon
hour the Riggs orchestra played a
number of selections which were en-
Enthusiastically received. After lunch
con. Pres. e. A. Barker introduced
Mrs. Lawrence C.. Jones Of the Pincy
Woods Country Life School OF BrnX-
ton, Miss. who outlined the origin
and work Of the Piney Woods school
in the "Black Belt" OF Mississippi
Mrs. Jones message was well re-
ceiyed and at the close Of her talk
she introduced a quartette or singers
from the school, who rendered a
number Of southern negro melodies
which captivated the audience.
r. X. Doe, naturalization exam
liner, was introduced by Mr.. Barker
and after mplimenting Bcmidji on
the many fine accomplishments when
has characterized the community,
Mr.. Doe addressed the association on
the subject of citizenship. He stated
that it was the duty Of the cOmmun-
ity to improve as far as it was posi-
BILE its standard of citizenship by
educating not molly the children but
those OF mature age, who for some
reason or other had not received the
education they needeCS in ordar
that they might be better citizens.
He suggested that Bemidji might
well try an experiment with night
schools for those who wished further
training and information and to
whom 1T was denied. or who did not,
in their youth, fully make use OF
the educational opportunities afford
ed at that time but who later in life
came to the realization that they
needed more information. He cited
eases Of Duluth and Chisholm where
the night schools are working splen-
didly and are much appreciated by
those who attended them.
NJ Doe also referred to the benefits
to be obtained by many people from
