Political PeregrinatiOns.

Oh. L. Hindley in Rutland Herald)
Dropped around to the Free Press
office and after admiring the rejuve-
mated Crooked Stairs found the old
Lady in her lair, represented for the
time being by John Southwick and a
bunch of his ninions, busily batting
GU copy, answering bells and telling
folks the editor was busy.
John is fast acquiring the worried
look of the sagacious cid hen whose
eggs were changed to ducks eggs and
who cannot account for her chickens.
John undertook to set the rural
New Yorker straight by telling ''em
that Ebert Brigham couldn't very
we'll run for u. s. senator so long as
we-all had picked Frank Greene for
the job-right in Franks own county,
too-but reckoned Ebert could do q
lot of running for governor if he set
out.
Honestly, I don't believe Ebert
had thought of the thing seriously
being mainly concerned about telling
a thousand-odd cattlemen that they
can't have their herds tested just yet
and will they take it up with DR.. De
Fosset, but Brigham as q farmers
candidate is just as likely to fill q
long-felt want as Bell was or Gates
was or Foote is right now, for that
matter.
In fact. heard half dozen talk
ing about the Brigham "boom," and
among them occasionally stood John
Southwick, still wearing that distinct
ly worried look.
If the farmers take up Brigham the
way they took up the other farmer
candidates-good night!
Which leads up to the simple and
elemental fact that not only will the
farmers control the next House (ac-
cording to present plans) but they fig
ure on controlling and organizing the
senate.
If, in addition thereto, they could
elect their own governor, what fine
piece of work that would be!
But, you may say, what is the mat
ter with Abe as farmers candidate :?
Not a thing except the platform on
which he may or may not be running,
but you can see how far-reaching a
comparatively simple matter may be.
How can the farmers organize the
Senate?
Give them two senators from Addi-
son county, one from Bennington, one
from Caledonia, two from Chittenden,
one from Essex, one from Franklin,
one from Grand Isle, one from La
noille, one from Orange, two from
Orleans, two from Rutland, two from
Washington, two from Windham and
two from Windsor. This makes Fl
and it only takes 16 to control.
And where would serious Brigham
candidacy leave Frank Greene? And
Greg Smith? And other dynastic
hopefuls?
Buh-lieve me, if the farmers take
hold of the Brigham candidacy the
way they took hold of the Brigham
measures in the legislature, John
Southwick has a perfectly good rea-
son to look worried.

Big Week at State Fair

The outlook for a successful YER
mont State fair could not be more
promising. Secretary Fred L. Davis
and his assistants are giving their
full time to list and assign the many
exhibits that will be seen in every
department.
When the fair opens on Monday,
October. 3, it is expected to have ev-
erything in readiness for the public.
Vermont is making big showing
at the New England States EXPOSE
ton at Springfield, Mass, and this
extensive exhibit is to be moved from
Springfield to the Vermont State
fair. 1t will occupy a whole build
ing.
The trotting schedule will begin
on Tuesday, October A, and continue
each day of the fair except Friday,
when the whole day will be given up
to auto racing and auto polo. In the
racing schedule there are large
strings of horses and each event
shows big list of entries. There
will be some of the best horses in
Wherever auto polo has been seen
this season it has attracted large
gatherings. 1t is said to be the most
hazardous sport of the period and as
the game is played directly in front
of the grandstands and on the track
spectators will have the opportunity
of witnessing every feature of the
game.
The cattle entries, which will be
large, will show herds from several
states and from the stables of many
famous breeders.
The policy Of the management this
season will be to issue no return
checks, and for this reason every pa
tron coming by auto is requested to
park his machine in the park with
in the grounds.
The eating facilities will be found
to be the best. The restaurants have
been arranged to feed greater num-
Der of people than heretofore and
chefs have been engaged who are &C
customed to taking care of large
crowds.
eve feel" says Secretary Davis,
"that the Vermont State fair this
year will delight all patrons in every
way"

OTHER DAYS

Some of us who are a little stopped,
eyesight aided with lenses and have
locks of variegated colors in retro
spect muse of days when relations
among acquaintance were just little
different than we find them now, with
the changes and improvements Of
years. Medicine wasn't much of
science then as the mind reviews the
punches Of pennyroyal, catnip, sage and
sweetfern suspended from uncased
rafters in the summer kitchen as a
precaution against the chills and ills
Of winter. In those days the signal
service was undreamed, but granddad
With fair accuracy for long periods
could foretell conditions from the husk
of the corn, migration of birds and
the hang of the moon. When the
hired mans wife took sick and little
Bill came guess the doctor didn't get
more than three dollars and there
wasn't any nurse, but neighborhood
wives with broods of their own came
in and loving kindness with human
interest supplanted scientific know
edge. Bill lived and so did the mother.
The school was a crude affair often
taught by man who couldn't pass a
modern civil service examination as a
federal building janitor, but somehow
or other the boys and girls learned
lot of useful things and in the
trying places of life they could tack
against a wind that would battle their
grandsons who hold membership in
three Greek letter societies. The
preacher then wasn't much Of a fell
low taken by the measure of a modern
dominic and probably couldn't make
a place in salvation corps; never
heard of higher criticism and wouldn't
allow that error could creep into wood
pulp and printers ink if moulded into
holy writ. His donations of firewood,
spareribs and promises wouldn't rec
ompense a man honored with a di-
vinity degree, but somehow rural com
munities didn't deteriorate under his
ministration.
Those were other days, gone with
their crudeness and limitations, but
they seem to have taken with them
that spirit of neighborhood interest
and satisfying touch in distress that
helped many troubled life over an
hour of despair. L.

Sad Accident to Young Man

Ralph Alexander, 18-year-old son Of
Frank E.. Alexander of Rutland, is at
the hospital, paralyzed as to both legs,
as result Of being. accidently shot
with % calibre rifle while duck
hunting at East Pittsford Pond.
Alexander and companion were sitt-
ing side by side on a log and the
latter was loading Alexander's rifle
when it was discharged because the
boy did not understand the safety de-
vice. The bullet struck Alexander
in the thigh, high up towards the
back, and is thought to have affected
the spine. The doctors give slight
hope that the wounded boy will ever
again regain the use of his legs. The
wound is tiny one and the lad suf-
fers little except for paralysis.

Congressman Dale Gets Legion Dem
OnstratiOn.


(Middlebury Register)
Tee speech of Congressman Dale at
the convention of the American Le-
gion at Rutland last week was a mas
terpiece for patriotism and loyalty
to the ex-service men of Vermont. The
Congressman was in excellent form
and gave expression in no uncertain
terms to his position on legislation
now pending in congress for the
physical and financial betterment OF
veterans of the World war. The ma
tional adjutant of the legion gave tes-
timony and strong endorsement OF
the untiring efforts and valuable work
rendered by Congressman Dale fo1
the legion in congress during the last
session.
The department convention gave
him rousing welcome, and the dem
onstration that followed his speech has
seldom been equalled in any confer
ence of like nature in Vermont. The
buddies of the legion showed their ap-
probation in real lively fashion.

CLEMSON COLLEGE
ADVANCES IN RANK
War Department Advises That Insti.
stitutioD is Now Chased as
"Distinguished."

Clemson College, June 25.-Col
j. NJ. Cummins, commandant od
cadets, has received telegram from
the war department saying tha1
Clemson college is rated as "dis
tinguished" college.
President W. N. Riggs has also
received letter from Maj. Gen. J.
F. Morrison stating that Clemson has
been rated distinguished" by the
war department. The letter also
says that three other colleges in the
Fourth corp. area, which comprises
the Southern states, have been SC
rated. They are Georgia Tech, Au-
burn and the Citadel. DR.. Riggs
makes the following statements:
'Clemson college is one Of the
few agricultural and mechanical col.
leges where the life Of the students
is regulated by military discipline
This discipline is not primarily fol-
the purpose Of making soldiers, but
to bring about promptness and eft.
ficiency in the class work Of the col.
lege and to teach courtesy, neatness
and those physical qualities which
are characteristic Of a good soldier
In a military regime proper time
can be provided for study and a
place given for work and recreation
'The military instruction amounts
to three hours a week during the
freshman and sophomore years, and
for those choosing the r. O.. T. c..
course, five hours in the junior and
senior years. Those hours come
within the regular class schedule
and do not add to the total number
of hours a student is required to
take.
s'The monetary benefit TO R. o. T.
C. students is quite substantial,
amounting to about $25 per- session
in the freshman and sophomore
years, and about 1925 annually in
the the junior and senior years. This
is more than double the value of a
state scholarship. The young men
taking the r. o. T. C. course have
also the satisfaction Of knowing
that they are having part in the
national governments program Of
preparedness, since the R. o. T. C.
course leads to a commission in the
reserve if after graduation this is
applied for"
