THE GOVERNORSHIP

Writing in his newspaper, the Benning
ton Banner, in reply to some pertinent
questions regarding the trend or state ex-
penses recently published in the Rutland
Herald, Frank f. Howe not only makes
the statement that he may be candidate
for the goyernorship nomination next
summer but delivers himself of some ex-
tremPly sane observations on the evils of
paternalism. He says:
If the voters and taxpayers of Yer
mont really want to set their house in
order and look toward the rising sun of
future promise instead of being dragged
down in the ruins of European decay and
error drought about almost wholly by
/ paternalism) they can do it most effectu-
ally at the ballot-box,
The chief essential is to avoid those
candidates, whether for local. state or
, federal office who represent some theory
or doctrine or pretended system of guild
| ing mankind to some promised utopia and
electing men, whether to the smallest or
| the highest place, who have horse sense
/ enough to do business and at the same
time enough political acumen to recognize
! 10 essential human equation that is al
ways a part of government.
The candidate who represents any
. class or cult is always dangerous. He
may be honest, sincere and even brilliant
but he takes his place in the halls of
power with his eye looking always in one
| direction.
| The writer of this article is suspected
of being a candidate for governor. He is
not at the present time but might be next
| summer if there seemed to be genuine
| wish that he should serve If he is, his
platform will be chiefly this: NO ex-
! tension of pateralism and bureaucracy in
| the state government and no approval of
| bills which will add to the tax burdens
| of the people of Vermont"
| For the cutting down of present ap-
preparations and fixed charges the state
| j. entirely dependent on the legislature.
| The various towns have this entirely in
| their own hands. They can elect an
| economical legislature or an extravagant
/ one. The worst they can do is to send
Il man with a scheme for an appropria-
ton to help his own town. He may get
| it but if. he does he has to go into part
nership with every other raid on the state
| treasury and it is partnership in these
raids that make government so expensive
and is doubling taxes every five or six
years.

Young at so. efficient at 60, remain

THE MATTER WITH APPLES

The Rocky Mountain News wants to
know what is the matter with apples, and
then proceeds unconsciously to give at
least a partial answer.
Nowadays" says the News, they
select individual aples for the market.
They polish them up on their sleeves,
wrap fancy paper around them, put them
in gilt-papered boxes and set them forth
for view and purchase If man ate an
apple with his eyes, all would be WE'LL
But man doesn't eat an apple with his
eyes, and there's the trouble. Color, form
and size are admirable, but flavor is miss
ing. As the News reluctantly admits, the
very dried apples that hung in strings in
the attics of olden days had more juice
in them than these polished beauties
which we buy for a dime apiece today -
And many an apple-fancier will ques-
tion the declaration that these same
modern apples taste the same as of yore
if You only pluck them fresh from the
tree. In the old days apples never re.
quired such a tests They were juicy and
tasty anywhere, as they came. whether
in boxes or barrels or baskets or bags
Big or little, flawless or spotted, they
were well-flavored, whereas our apples
nowadays are seldom more than we'll
favored.
Possibly this is the part Of the disil-

YOUNG BLOOD TO THE FARM

One of the great laments in agricul-
ture has been the tendency of the young
to leave the farms and seek the towns
Now the tide has begun to flow the other
way, and agriculture is in a fair way to

grange lecturer recently told his
bearers that he had noted Il marked back
to the soil' movement What struck
him particularly was the high percentage
of young people who were taking up and
starting to develop abandoned farms

young men and women.
When the war disrupted the lives OF
our young Americans, they assumed its
burdens with a will and a Responsibilities
beyond their years. They are adapting
themselves to the necessities of after-wal
adjustment with the same energy and
efficiency. They have seen the war-blowr
town bubbles burst, and have vision e
nough to believe that in the next few
years the soil win have its inning. As a
result of their sturdy enthusiasm both
the farms and the young people are likely
to prosper.
