SATURDAY MARCH &c, 1921
EASTER.

Easter brings each year fresh re-
ioicing There is not only the happiness
to the religious festival, not
only the seasonal gladness that winter is
past, that the resurrection of all things
is at hand but each year brings its own
peculiar reasons for joy that the time is
come.
This year the early spring and the
early Easter come together. Winters
troubles are over. Moreover, there is a
feeling that the winter of war, with its
long dragging out of thaw and freeze and
lingering slush, is giving way at last to
the revival of the normal interests and
activities of a time of peace.
Joy in itself is a healing thing, a
source of strength and energy. Those
who profit most from the memory of the
risen Savior who, rising, lifts all life
with Him, are those who enter into the
spirit of the ancient Easter versicle:
This is the day which the Lord hath
made;
Let us be glad and rejoice therein -

Emery's Poor sportsmanship.
(Rutland News.)

The St Adams Messenger, in an edi-
torial on the highway situation, points
out the poor craftsmanship of Colonel
Curtis s. Emery, late, but little la
mented, defeated candidate for the Re
publican gubernatorial nomination
Emery has demonstrated conclusively
that his sense of fair play is comparable
to that of the average Russian wolf
hound. Early in the gubernatorial cam
paign he allowed his satellite, Editor
Saulpin of the Barton Monitor, to print
absolute falsehoods about The Rutland
News. After proof had been offered to
the brave Colonel and Saulpin neither
one had sufficient sense of fair play to
make proper amends.
Emery ran his gubernatoriaF campaign
in nasty, mudslinging manner. and.
if the usually well informed and ac-
curate st. Adams Messenger l. correct,
simply out OF a spirit of excessive
meanness, he has done his utmost TO
embarrass Governor Hardness.
The state ought to construct special
cage in which to place birds of this kind.

cred the most likely successor to A.
Bonar Law as government leader in the
British house of commons, has a follow
ing in the Mother of Parliaments which
is a heritage from his distinguished
father, the late Joseph Chamberlain At
the same time, however, he has had d
distinguished career in parliament to
which he has devoted his whole public
life since he delivered the maiden speech
which Gladstone declared was such as
to gladden. a fathers heart" As chan
cellor of the eXchequer Mr.. Chamberlain
is well-verSed in the financial affairs and
Is n cOnspicuously hard worker. In adj
dition, he has had experience as civil
lord of admiralty, postmaster general,
and secretary OF state for India His
fellow members regard him as a man OF
unswerying honesty and patriotism. and
well endowed with those qualities which
give dignity TO public office.

nally in an independent newspaper ven
ture at Barre. This was when Barre
took its quick growth and there seemed
TO be an opening for live and spicy
weekly. Taylor certainly gave them one
of that kind, even though at great dlS'
advantage in the matter of publication.
The paper, a small-page sheet, was
printed a page at a time in Charley
Whitmarshs Office at Mortified, the
press work being done on a jobber. Bert
used to come over and read the proofs,
to the accompaniment of much lurld Ian
guage. After while the publication
Ianguished and died Taylor's valedic
tory, we recall, gave Barre a parting
shot as the place that must have been
in mind in the Scriptural reference as
to the futility of casting pearls before
swine. Taylor in those days had much
musical ability and composed the score
or libretto or both of several operas. He
went West directly from Barre, and III

Vermont experience was the fund from
which he often drew choice morSelS Oi

Dancing i'm the Moonlight.
{ Rutland News.)

The st. Adams Messenger, premiere
danseuse in the Hartness Silent Cellar
Ballet, declares:
'Those lawmakers who consider 'Stod'
Bates as the biggest thing in the govern
ment ought to be made to go and come from
Montpelier on our present roads. The ex-
perience might make them change their
minds. If such they have in their posses
sion"
1t is a fact. however, that the alleged
compromise between the governor and the
Bates machine on the highway department
matter was about as much of a compro-
mise as Lee made when he surrendered at
AppOmattox. The governor surrendered !;
Bates still has the job, the salary and
strengthened political machine. The state
of Vermont is the loser

Hang Onto Your Liberty Bonds.
BARRE Times.l

However much you may be pressed for
money, hold onto your Liberty bonds till
the last minute. The market price on
Liberty bonds now is such that you will
lose considerably in sale. whereas if you
hold the bonds till maturity you will get
all you put into them besides the interest
semi-annually. 4 great many money
sharks are around trying to buy up Lib
cial distress, knowing that they can
knock the prices down even lower than the
bonds will bring on the stock exchange
or through the hands of reputable brokers.
So it will be unfortunate to sacrifice Lib
erty bonds unless it becomes absolutely
necessary.

Spring poets are awakening and the
following futters in from Guilford:
Sugaring.
Sap runs, so do the men;
Sap boils and boils again.
Sap becomes syrup-oh, so sweet!
Makes you tingle from head to feet.
Sugaring is the time you see
The best, best time in the world for me
Sap is gathered in buckets and nails
And the fire is built of chips and nails
But the nails, to be sure, will never
burn:
The builder has one more thing to learn
So sap is gathered in buckets and pals
And the fire is built of kindlings and
rails
The sap it boils and boils like time
And steams to the making of many q
rhyme;
And bye and bye our hearts cheer up
For the sap will very soon be syrup.
So sugaring is the time YOU see
The very best time in the world for me
And we sugar it off with many asqualm
For fear that something may bring il
harm.
So sap runs and so do men;
Sap boils and boils again
Sap makes syrup and sugar too.
And oh, dear maple trees, thank you.
