State Fair Politics.
ORennington Ranner.l


The politics of the state fair is one of
the valuable features even though few
self righteous people affect to turn up
their noses. Every citizen who has any
public spirit and patriotism. every citizen
who cares an iota for the public welfare.
every citizen who does not place self
ahead of everything else, every citizen
who can be trusted to serve his community
in the many ways that community life re-
quireS, is more or less of a politician.
Some few politicians are dishonest, venal
and contemplate, but so also are some
few in every other class in life. As a
whole, the politicians of varying grades
and ranks average fully as well as those
who are always critcising them The
most severe critics of the politicians sell
dom do much unselfsh public service
themselves. When you find a man who
thinks everybody else dishonest, he will
bear watching.
The fair gives a splendid opportunity
for the politicians of various parts of the
state to get together and talk things over
and there was rather more of it this year
than usual, due in part to the reunion of
the present state legislature which was
held on Wednesday. 1t was an enjoyable
gathering and most of the talk was in
Renaissance of the past rather than of
schemes for the future

PREFERENCE IN PUBLIC JOBS.

The proposed Veteran Preference
amendment to the New York state con-
stitution, by which war veterans would
be given an absolute preference over all
other citizens in appointment and promo
ton in the civil service, has a number of
points to recommend it. 1t has at the
same time several potential evils which
are pointed out by those who oppose it.
They say it would scrap the merit sys-
TEN, setting up in its place a privileged
class of military men. 1t would bar from
such positions women thoroughly fitted
for the work. 1t sets no age limit for
veterans in civil service examinations and
SO would shut out from such appoint
ments % years from now young men and
women who were babes when the war
was fought.
Any law which actually worked in this
way would be a handicap to public serv-
ice and would create animosities and in
efficiency because of its unjust and ir-
rational method of making appointments.
No public position ought to be held by
any one untitled for its duties.

TREASURES IN DANGER.

The original copy of the Declaration
of Independence and the Federal Consti-
tuition are to be moved from the state de-
partment to the Congressional library.
Secretary Hughes recommended the
change, on the ground that the fire risk
is less in the library, and facilities for
showing them are better.
This transfer calls attention again to
the need of freproof facilities for the
preservation of valuable documents at
Washington. Last year old and precious
census records were burned There are
treasures there worth far more than any
building to safeguard them would cost
Facsimiles serve a useful purpose, but
no substitute could ever replace such doc
uments. The sentiment aroused in any
american breast by the faded lines of the
originals is beyond all price

The seventy-ive or more illuminated

which the state highway board will have
placed at various danger points on Yer
mont highways grade crossings, under

materially assist the motorist travelling
