THE SPEAKERSHIP

Prominent among candidates for the
speakership is Representative elect
Bailey, mayor of Vermont's youngest
city, Winooski He is youthful, effici-
ent and energetic with an enviable leg
islative record.
A favorable estimate of Mayor Bailey
is made by the Burlington Free Press,
which says:
Two leading members of the present
House from southern Vermont made a
call at the editorial sanctum, and
among other things discussed the speak
ership. One of them will not be in the
next House and the other will be so
they spoke from different points of
view They agreed that present ind-
cations were promising for young men
and therefore new blood They agreed
that the leading entries would be Bail
ey of Winooski and Martin of Plain
field and Grout of Newport While
Martin would be strong with the farm
element, they believed Bailey would be
a more formidable candidate than
Grout, owing to his experience in the
Legislature. Bailey has made an eX-
cellent impression, and would put pep
into the Legislature. They believed
he would make an excellent speaker
They know what his election to the
speakership would mean in the direc-
ton of method and push and close
scrutiny of finances in the House which
begins business less than two months
hence
If we turn to what Bailey has done
, for Winooski in Winooski and out, We
discover what sort of man he is as a
young and energetic leader In the first
/ place he is an example of a Republi.
| can winning success in a Democratic
stronghold by sheer merit and push
The people of the whole State saw him
push the bill to make Winooski a city
in the face Of great obstacles both at
home and in Montpelier.
Whether Bailey is elected sneaker OF
not he will secure things for Winoosk
that no other man, Democratic or Re
publican, could again. All Vermont viii
know that the youngest city in tn.
State has been represented by one OF
the most methodical and effective hust
lers in the entire state
We submit that this is what Vermont
as 4 whole needs injected into oul
State government.

GOLLNICK WRITES
FOOTBALL POEM
Coach Morey Receives Letter From
Captain ZAP on Eve of Contest
With Vermont

crbes in an intimate way chapters Of
his life in England and then drifts on
to the favorite subject of every red
booded Amrican boy at this season Of
the year. football
"Gollnick" compares the English
rugby with the American game and
the British "rugger" suffers sadly by
the comparison It's a dead game, in
the opinion of al" However, he has
become quite an expert at the game
and has figured, along with "Bill" Casey
of Cornell, in running up big scores on
opposing elevens. "Al" describes run
ming through the whole field of -
players for a touchdown, some 30
yards, and wonders that his old coach
at Middlebury never discovered his
open-feld running ability
But the most interesting part of the
letter is poem, Looking Back in
which the loyal Middlebury man re-
calls some of the gridiron incidents of
former davs and longs for a chance to
get just one more "whack" at the ira
ditional rival the Green ana Gold.
Here is the poem:
Yes, Bill, III be there in a jiffy,
The "rugger" fields not far away,
Somehow | don't care
If | never get there,
The game sure will bore me today
For my thots wander back to old MIDI,
Bill,
Now that it's fall over there,
And the leaves blow around
Der the frost-bitten ground
Yes, there's football in the air.
I recall those games with Vermont,
Bill,
How they set my blood aglow
As covered with sweat
And with jerseys wet,
We grimly battled the foe.

Is met by the swinging toe,
And the cheer from the stands

A JUST REBUKE

Secretary of War Weeks has done
a national service in uncovering the
true character of one of the foreign
propagandists who are miesting the
United States
This gentleman, John Fortescue, pres
ident of the Royal Historical Society
of Great Britain, was scheduled to adj
dress the cadets at the West Point
Military Academy on Armistice Day.
The day previous Secretary Weeks di-
rected the superintendent Of the Acad-
envy not to permit Mr. Fortescue to
deliver his talk. The reason for the
SeCretarys action is found in a book
on British Statesmen Of the Great
War" in which Mr.. Fortescue, the au-
thor makes the following observations:
Americans esteem a good bargain,
even if gained by dishonorablc means,
to mark the highest form Of ability.
The United States can not engage in
any form of competition with rs, from
athletics to diplomacy, without using
foul play. They must win, if not by
fair skill, then by preauanged trickery
or violence; if not by open negotiation,
then by garbled maps and forged doc
uments There is the fact 1t may be
unpleasant, but it can not be denied.
Secretary Weeks laconic comment
was that can author entertaining these
sentiments is not considered to be a
proper person to address the students
of a government academy" We should
say not! Neither is he a proper per
son to address any other group of Am
erican citizens. 1t is the announced
purpose of Mr.. Fortescue to deliver
a series of lectures throughout the
country, and the evil influence he would
have spread among our people would
have been tremendous had not Secre-
tarv Weeks shown him up in his true
light at the very inception Of his tour.
The president of the Royal Historical
Society is an exaggerated instance Of
the anti-American European We do
not believe he is numerous

TOMORROW

Middlebury College football team
closes a season tomorrow, in settling
a score with the University of Vermont,
that completes one of the hardest and
most pretentious schedules ever at
tempted by a college so small.
And while the team has not won
many victories the reputation the
eleven has made by creditable perform
ances is one that many larger institu-
tons would be more than proud to en-
JOY The press reports throughout the
season have contained nothing but
praise for the '1ttle Blue team"
All this is gratifying and means,
sometimes, more than victories. Penn
State Harvard and Dartmouth now
have the greatest respect for Middle
bury finding out that the team puts
out a hard hitting, clean and manly
brand of football Tomorrow the
team will be put to a severe test in
meeting the powerful machine that has
been developed at the University of
Vermont. And Middebury on this oc-
casion is going to show her spirit and
her fight. A team that has stood up
against the onslaughts of such formid-
able outfits as Penn State and Harvard
will render a good account of itself in
trying conclusions with Vermont
There is no question about that The
team knows it, the Blue supporters
know it and Vermont knows it,
Whatever the result Of tomorrow is,
you may as well understand right now
that Middlebury will acquit herself as
you would have her And whether or
no the chapel bell will ring out vic
tory you will know that a hard hitting,
we'll trained, bona fde, eligible set of
loyal young men has given the best
there is in them for the honor OF their
college
Give them the support and the in
spiration and the encouragement that
they deserve Back the team, win or
lose For that is the true spirit of
football

A suggestion has been made by a
reader of the Register that Middle
bury should take some action toward
erecting a tablet containing the names
of her sons who served the country
during the World war 1t is a fact
that Middlebury is rather the eXcep-
ton to most of the towns in Vermont,
which have already placed rosters Of
the ex-soldiers in permanent form and
in appropriate places Near u.s. West
Addison has recently dedicated a mon
ument builded of native stones, on
which is mounted a tablet containing
a list of those who served their cOun-
try. Other towns have bronze tablets
hanging in libraries, public buildings or
on monuments
The idea of the Register reader is
a good one. Middlebury should honor
the names of her sons as other towns
have done.

Husband-Seeks Pardon.

Pittsburgh. Pa.-After serving IL
years of life sentence for murder,
Jack Edwards, a Johnstown policeman
who refused to offer any defense at
his trial for wife murder and who pre-
served complete silence regarding the
case until the recent death Of his
daughter, has told the whole story OF
the tragedy to an attorney and steps
have. been taken to obtain a pardon
for the man.
II would have died on the scaffold-
would have spent the remainder OF
my life within these walls-rather
than have my daughter know the real
reason why killed my wife," said
Edwards. II can speak freely now. for
my daughter Is dead and the truth,
which have kept to myself. can give
her no pain. But had she lived the
reason l shot her mother in our home
in Johnstown would have remained
locked up"
Will Seek Pardon.
Attorney Samuel II. Gardner, who
represents Edwards. has filed an ap-
plicatiOn for a pardon with the board
Of pardons in Harrisburg.
The records show that Edwards
walked into the Johnstown police sta
tion telling the sergeant he had "killed
his wife,"
Mrs. Edwards was found dead on
the floor In her home with four bullet
holes in her breast. Edwards plead
guilty to the charge Of murder and
refused to aid his counsel. He was
found guilty of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged. An
appeal resulted in the sentence being
committed to life Imprisonment. Ed
