THE PASSION FOR WORK

When Thomas Edison's birth
day occurred the ether day, his
associates could not persuade the
famous inventor to quit work. He
kept digging at his job just the
same as if he had not become T.
years Of age on that day. Most
people quit active labors long be
fore this period Of their lives.
Mr. Edison's inventions in such
fields Us electric lighting, tele-
'phony, the photograph, etc, have
improved and frightened living
conditions for practically every
body But this achievement, mar
velous as it IS, is no more noble
than the splendid example that
Nh Edison sets daily of devotion
to his daily task.
" lille others must have pas
times and diversions to keep them

ant JOY in exercising his own wit
Oh his daily JOB. The thought
that he is improving conditions
for the world is play enough for
him. If more of his spirit could
prevail in ordinary life, the prob

"UNCIE ZOE"

The recent announcement OF
Uncle Joe" Cannon, that he would
not again be a candidate for con-
gresham has elected many expires
sions of regret. When Il man
proves able to get elected % terms
to Congress he must have unusual
qualities, and his career will have
suggestions for people who aspire
to political success.
Uncle Joe Cannon has been a
man who aroused strong antagon-
iSms. He was long considered the
embodiment of standpattism. His
conceptions Of political life were in
many respects those of former
days, and the charging current Of
the times left him behind in those
those particulars.
Yet he had certain sterling quail
tiles that were very useful. Mo Il
congressman seem TO be worrying
as to whether they are going to get
reelected or not. They often sac
rifice their own convictions to
curry IdNOI WIFI Illltl
ests, without regard to the opinion
of the mass of the people. Uncle
Joe did what he thought was best
and right and never worried about
recollection. But he almost invali
ably came back by a humping ma
iolity. The people appreciate sin
cerity.
Also he stood outside the system
of pork distribution and trading of
favorS. When other congressman
thought to make good by getting
lavish appropriations for their own
districts, and securing support for
the same by voting for eXtravag-
ance in other localities, Uncle Joe
refused to play the game. He stood
outside the vicious system of loo
rolling, and spoke up for economy
and iudicious use of the peoples
money. Probably he did not get
marble poStoffices for cross roads
towns. but his constituents knew
he was working for the public
good.
MANY people who have disagreed
with Mr.. Cannon, are sorry to see
this old war horse turned out to
pasture. and they wish for him a
serene and happy old age.

and that modern building would
add fully 80 per cent to the eff

THE FARM LOAN BONDS

1t is expected that the $75, 000,-
600 farm loan bonds now being
offered by the federal land banks,
will be sold net to the holders At

investment indicates that it should
be possible to finance the coun-

in the agricultural districts.
The farmers OF the country de-

complain that after mortgaging

PRESS COMMENT
Set for Better Things

The decision to hold the Yer
mont Methodist conference in
White River Junction, April 26, in
stead Of in Bellows Falls, looks like
a choice of two evils when the pre-
sent condition Of those towns, as
reported, is taken into cOnsidera-
tor. Both appear to be subjects
for the revival influence of pro
tractcd meeting. but the spiritual
state of the Junction may be
enough worse than that Of the
Falls to cause it to need the con-
ference a little more Springfield

VERMONT BOYS
WANTED FOR

President of the L. Y. NJ.
Heartily Approves of

(Our Washington Correspondent
Notwithstanding his widespread
efforts throughout the State of
Vermont to find young men de
sirous of entering the United
States Naval Academy by his APP
pointment, Senator Page has still
on his hands the two vacanies for
principal and the six for alternates
which he endeavored to fill
through a competitive examination
conducted at Norwich University.
As result of these tests, two
young men were nominated by the
Senator as principals and one as as
alternate. A little later it develop
ed that one Of the principals could
not meet the requirements of mid
shipmen with respect to age, so he
was eliminated, and the Senator
moved up the alternate to take his
place. Now it transpires that both
principals have decided that they
do not care to go to AnnapoliS,
and have so notified Senator Pace.
This situation means that an eX-
cellent opportunity is now open to
two Vermont young men to obtain
appointments to this Government
institution, and Senator Page is
prepared to receive applications to
that~end. 1t is under stood that he
does not plan to conduct further
competitive tests. as the time is
rather short before the entrance
examinations for Annapolis, in
April. The candidates who are
successful in meeting all require
ments will enter the Academy next
June.
1t is pointed out in this connect
ion that the So-called "naval holi
day" pursuant to the four-poWer
pact determined upon by the Limi-
tation of ArmamentS Conference
and formally laid before the SEN
ate by the President Friday, is not
likely to cause any reduction in the
personnel of officers of the Navy.
On the contrary it is stated that
the Navy will have need of an adj
ditional quota of officers in the
near future properly to outfit the
ships now in commission and to be
commissioned, etc. In other words,
the Navy is not by any means TO
be "scrapped," so far as personnel
is concerned.
Responding to a request for "a
frank statement of your opinion on
this topic made by Senator Wads-
worth, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs.

iverSity of Vermont, writes his

THE DEMAND FOR BABIES

More applications for babies to
be adopted are received than can
be filled, said an official of the
Child Welfare league of America
q few days ago.
Prohibition IS said to be largely
responsible for the fact that
fewer children of poor homes are
offered for adoption than former
ly. A great deal of money that
used to go to support the saloon,
is now being used TO keep families
together, and not so many chill
dren are being set adrift.
The number Of childless homes
increases among educated people.
A lot of folks finally wake up to
the fact that they need young life.
Many people face a lonely old
age, unless they have the enter
prise and initiative to take the
bother of bringing up an adopted
child, an enterprise that usually
brings splendid rewards.
