Clements Former Position.
Mr.. Clement in his message to the vot-
ers of Vermont two years ago states as
ITO the electors of Vermont: Two
considerations urge me to declare myself
a candidate for governor at this time.
| First. the recent revelations of a vicious
| business system in the office of state au-
ditor." etc
4 good many Republicans who differed
with Mr.. Clement in regard to the sec
| ond proposal which concerned the adop-
| ton of the 18th amendment but Hooked
upon him as thoroughly qualified to clean
| the Augean stables at Montpelier voted
| for him at that time. They have since
expressed great disappointment / fail
to see any warrant for such disappoint-
ment. The Free Press. in an editorial n
| few days ago. stated that Mr.. Clement
always runs true to form He has
done this and nothing more. l do not
| think he has deviated a hair.
My observations of his mental atti-
| tude toward Nermonts welfare in for
mer years led me to this conclusion. For
! instance: In 1906 there was a law
| passed taxing the deposits in antiOnal
banks. the same as in savings banks and
| trust companies This seemed TO be a
| fair. equitable and just law No good
reason coald be advanced why one class
| of deposits should pay a state tax and
another class to be exempted.
Shortly after this law went into eff
| feet Mr. Clement. as president of the
| Clement National bank refused to pay
the tax. Suit was brought and the case
| taken to the supreme court of Vermont,
which decided in the states favor. Mr..
| Clement then appealed to the United
| States supreme court and again his con-
| tention was decided adversely. If you
turn to the auditors report you will see
| that the national banks the past year
| paid into the state treasury $4,000
and since 1911. ST19,000, and for the
| full period since the law was enacted
approximately S1.000,000, which the
state of Vermont would have been de
| prived of if his efforts to avoid just tax
alton had met with favorable judicial de
| cision. So l say, that | have not been
surprised or disappointed regarding Mr..
| Clements administration of the finances
of the state the past two years. He
simply has run true to form
| Yours truly,
| OLIN MERRILL.

Proper Flower Arrangement.

The essential point in all flower ar
rangement is that there shall be form
and balance, yet that the composition
shall not be perfectly symmetrical, as
perfect symmetry is not found in ma
ture. In order to attain the desired
effect the flower stalks and branches
used are carefully bent and twisted,
and this work is done with such deli
cacy and dexterity as to conceal the
fact that their forms have. been az
tered by artificial means. -

JACKS LABOR LOST

@OME very interesting frag-
- ments of Kennewick's early his
tory were unearthed by Chief of Po-
lice Jack Dale last week when he
stripped business-corner electric light
poles of their accumulated debris of
many postings, past and present.
There were mute and faded testimon-
ials of the communities past endeav-
ors, commercial, social, political, leg
al. AS the accumulated waste gave
up its tenacious hold, like the feath-
ers from the scalded shank of Buff
Cochin, Chief Jack attempted to fold
it in his arms. Now and then docu-
mentary evidence of some blighted
hope escaped him. The weather-beat-

en- likeness of one, who might have
made a good governor but whose APP
peal wore itself out on the deaf ears
of the sovereign folk of the state, flut-
tered into the street and stared face
up, corpse-like, from the gutter !:
alongside yellow page of fools cap
told of some mans misfortune and a
sheriff's sale in the years before pros
perity had laid hold of the commun-
ity; further along in the gutter-but
why continue the description?
History repeats itself.
One day after Chief Jack had re-
lieved the poles of their collection of
antiques we saw him do marathon
after a man and tack hammer who
was putting more hardware into the
poles. We stood on the side lines and
applauded Chief Jack and decided to
write an editorial about his pole clean
ing. ~"s@
But what's the use.
Over there at the corner of the city
hall the light pole, which Chief Jack
cleaned off last week, is now decorat-
ed-most artistically-with three no
tees of sheriff's SALE
What's the answer? -.
The real answer is the repeal of
those gray-whiskered laws, which
somebody forgot to bury along with
the Pilgrim Fathers, and which pro-
vide that the public be given legal
notice of impending events by stick
ing up a paper at street corner or a
cross roads. Until the men who make
and unmake our laws do awake to the
realization that the old town-meet-
ing method is not the modern method
of disseminating news, legal or 9TH
erwise, the city should put up neat
bulletin boards, at least one at the
city hall corner, upon which legal
postings can be made.
We know just exactly how Chief
Jack felt. He didn't like to pinch the
deputy sheriff wheD he violated the
city ordinance by lacking the legal
notices to the light poles.

~HE reading of Sinclair Lewis
O"Main Street" prompts us to the
admission that in some respects the
country town is uncouth and unpolish-
ed. The country store still sells chew
ing tobacco in ample plugs, deep of
girth, intended for real and splashy
chaws; the city smoke shop sells it
ironed out, and dolled up in tinsel for
pampered parlor expectorations. And
yet the genus, man, can still be class
flied whether it is out of fashion on
Main street or in fashion on the boul-
evard. Take the overalls off the one
and the white collar off the other and
neither the one nor the other will show
up any marked defects when measured
by the standards of the other. In
short, they are both using the same
recipe for their home brew.
