The Interchurch World movement
is the greatest thing in Protestantism
in the past 100 years and the vigor
with which the movement is being
prosecuted in Vermont and in this
particular part of Vermont foreshad
ows a wonderful work.
After traveling over the state to
some extent, Martin S. Vilas of Bur
lington 6ays he is not a candidate for
lieutenant governor. This paper has
wondered whether it was Vilas him
self or his anti-league of nations pro
paganda that found so little favor
with the people at large.
PRESS CLIPPINGS
Defective Chimneys.
(Barre Times)
-A defective chimney caused the de
struction of a grain mill in St.
Johnsbury with a loss of $40,000. It
probably would not nave lasen iw
make the chimney safe, providing an
inspection had been made in tune,
is a warning to others.
It
Wheelock's Red Schoolhouse Associa
tion. (Stanstead, P. Q-, Journal)
Wheelock has a Red Schoolhouse
association, having for its purpose the
retaining of the old-fashioned idea of
the remarkable educational power of
the unit known as the "Little Red
Schoolhouse." Mental arithmetic,
spelling, reading aloud and even an
alysis and parsing are revived. The
back towns seem to be very much
alive to the things worth while m
everyday lfie.
Wendell Phillips Stafford.
(Ludlow Tribune)
"Poet,' man of letters, and a rigor
ous jurist with a Puritan conscience,"
is the characterization of Judge Wen
dell P. Stafford (Vermonter) of Wash
ington "by a correspondent of the Con
gregationalist in a story of the inaug
uration of President Durkee of Har
vard university. Judge Stafford made
the formal transfer of authorityto
the new executive., 7 , .-.j
Orlando Martin for : Governor Some
j - r.,Timer;.;;r
; (Waterbury, Record) I c v v
We have a notion that some time in
-future Orlando ' Martin of
Plainfield will be a candidate for j
some fairly-good-sized political office J
in Vermont and; that his rich brother
in Boston will foot the bills. Mr. Mar
tin is fast taking the place of Ex
Gov. Bell so far as his political stand
ing in the grange is concerned. When
Orlando decides to run, look for an
other grange governorship surprise.
The loss of an arm in the beater of a
thresher by a Barton man this week,
makes several such accidents in this
county during the past season, one
man losing his life by the accident.
These awful accidents, all taking
place in a very similar manner, point
to two things, carelessness and the
need for better protection about these
machines.
United States District Judge Har
land B. Howe denied citizenship to an
applicant in his Barre court last week
because, among other things mention
ed by Judge Howe, the man did not
attend church or support it. If citi
zenship were taken away from all
who were catalogued in this class
there would be "weeping and gnash
ing of teeth." Judge Howe has been
considered a sensible judge, but the
store court will now pronounce him a
fool.
CoL Emery. -r
(Rutland Herald)
Most of the' Monitor's pleasant
comments on Colonel Emery's person
ality are well founded, and The Her
ald entirely agrees with them. If it
were to offer the accused a little
gratuitous and therefore worthless
advice, it would say to him: By all
means run for governor or ior any
other office that he fancies. Make
such an appropriation for correspon
dence and publicity as he can afford,
pay nothing to politicians, tell the
people frankly what he stands for
and let it " go at that.
Vermont Has Coolidge Club.
Vermont's boom for Coolidge for
president was formally launched at
an enthusiastic meeting of prominent
men of Windsor county held in Wood
stock last week. Resolutions repre
senting the united sentiment of the
county and, it is believed, the great
majority of the voters of the state,
were presented by ex-Gov. W. W.
Stickney, and adopted, as follows:
"Whereas, we hold with the found
ers of our state that frequent recur
rence to fundamental nrinciDles and a
firm adherence to justice, moderation,
temperance, industry and frugality
are absolutely necessary to preserve
the. blessings of liberty and keep gov
ernment free; and
"Whereas, the maintenance of law
and order without fear or favor un
der a stable government which in
sures equal right to all is the urgent
need of the hour; and
"Whereas, Calvin Coolidge, a na
tive of Plymouth in this county, now
governor of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts, by his public acts re
stores one's respect for popular gov
ernment and demonstrates his fit
ness to administer the high office of
president of the United States;
therefore be it
"Resolved, that we pledge our sup
port for his nomination as the Re
publican standard bearer in the com
ing national convention and urge all
voters in this and other states to
join in securing that result."
Following the meeting of the coun
ty committee, the Windsor - County
Coolidge club was organized with
these officers: Honorary president,
John C. Coolidge of Plymouth, father
of Governor Coolidge; president, Gil
bert F. Davis of Windsor; secretary,
George O. Gridley of Windsor; treas
urer, James F. Dewey, of Queechee;
with vice-presidents from each town
in the county.
It is expected that Coolidge clubs
will be formed in all the other coun
ties in the state and join with Wind
sor in the Coolidge boom.
Membership in the club is limited
only to those who believe in law and
order and the good government of all
the people, by the people, at all
tunes.
Emery's Mention Attracts Attention.
(Waterbury Record)
The rather unique and decidedly
complimentary manner in which the
Barton Monitor tells of Hon. Curtis
S. Emery's qualifications for the
governorship has attracted consider
able attention. Some fifteen years
ago this gentleman was about as live
a political wire as you would care to
know, bmce selecting JNewport as
his residence he has not mixed with
the boys quite so much. The linking
of this gentleman s name in politics
again causes many to recall some
very interesting conferences, in the
interests of different candidates, in
which CoL Emery was among those
present.

Gov. Clement Retracts First Letter.
In a letter addressed to Dr. John
M. Thomas, state chairman oi
American Legion at Middlebury,
Gov. Percival W. Clement retracts
completely the letter which he sent to
Dr. Thom oi JNew xor 'j
weens ago, reiauug
American soldiers.
This closes the incident so far as
the Leerion is concerned and while
some of the more aggressive mem- i
bers of. that body do not tnm mc
far enough, it is
the belief of the majority that he has
publicly, admitted that nis own v es
and thoughts were not expressed in
thp nrio-ir.nl letter and that he stands
back of the American soldier. .
The letter in retraction is Al
lows: "Dr. John M. Thomas, . .
"Commander, Vt. American Legion,
"Dear doctor: ?
"I know that the letter from my
office addressed to Doctor Thom is
not correct. There is a sentence or
paragraph left out which would make
the context more clear. -The stenog
rapher who took the dictation is not
here, so If cannot at the momenVtell
what did happen. You know we have
in Vermont few positions to offer and
while I have naturally favored ; the
soldier in making appointments, the
returned soldiers have themselves
made no "application for positions.
"While the state of Vermont stands
ready, to relieve' distress among sol
diers to the extent of its ability there
has been no application for such re
lief. Under these conditions, you
can see such an interpretation as was
put upon the letter is not in accord
ance with the facts as they exist. I
regret that a letter was sent out
which could be' construed as a . reflec
tion upon the soldier, for nothing
could be further from my own wish
or thought.: .- . - : :
"I am sending a copy of this letter
to Dr. Thom for his information.
"Yours very truly, . " : :

Coolidge Grows in Favor.
(Springfield Reporter)
The idea of Calvin Coolidge as the
Republican candidate for the presi
dency seems to strike the public im
agination more and more forcibly as
time goes on, and the fine character
of the man, his fearless attitude, his
good, hard New England sense and
more clearly realized. Although his
handling of the Boston police strike
shows that he can be as set as the
green hills of his native state when
occasion requires, he is not of the
bull-headed, domineering type that
mistakes obstinacy for firmness and,
by lack of reasonableness and tact,
alienates the support upon which a
well conceived policy depends.

Sugar and the Grocer.
(Randolph Herald)
We have some measure of sym
pathy with the much-abused retail
dealer in this handling of sugar dur
ing the shortage that has existed
during the past year or two. Prob
ably with all its trouble and annoy
ances the retailer will be the most
pleased of anyone when normal con
ditions return - and he- can handle
sugar as he used to. This being with
out seven-eighths of the time and de
prived of the natural "tpSt 03 it, only
to be bedevilled and hs Trapsed for an
occasional few days; obliged to turn
down and anger ruope; to hire extra
clerks; to dole it out in small pack
ages at extra cost of handling, and to
stand in constant apprehension lest
the minions of the law descend upon
one, can hardly appeal to the natural
instinct of. the tradesman, be he ever
so good natured and patriotic Very
naturally the retailer tries his best
to supply his own regular and con
stant customers first. He should.
They look to him first. But let it be
come known that Grocer A has a con
signment of sugar in and people
rush upon him from far and wide. If
he did not stand guard and fight and
lie some he wouldn't have antr st nil
for many of his customers, who would
be sore, and perhans leave him. Some
of these people have persistently re
fused him their patronage for years.
Why should he neglect his own trade
for them? These buyers are many of
them persons who already have sugar
on hand and who get more because
they know it is scarce and they want
to stock up. - Many householders
make it a practice to secure surar
wherever and whenever they can,
which is one reason why sugar is so
