It looks like a close race between
sugar and gasoline to see which reaches

An indication of the very small part
which the liquor issue is likely to take
in elections this year is revealed by
the action of the Democrats of Illinois
in rejecting by a large majority in the
state committee on resolutions a pro
posed "wet" plank. Governor Edwards
of Hew Jersey and some persons in
Vermont should take due cognizance of
the action.
The death of William Dean Howells
at the age of 83 removes one of the
last connecting links between the pres
ent day and the day of America's liter
ary glory. It was Howells' privilege
to gain an inspiration through personal
relationship with such great literary
minds as Henry W. Longfellow, Na
thaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emer
son, Oliver Wendell Holmes and James
Eussell Lowell, a coterie of brilliant
minds which brought fame to American
letters and the like of which have not
appeared in a group since their day.
The inspiration which Howells drew
from them stamped him as a worthy
successor to that old school of Ameri
can literary masters.

"The Old Standby"
Why is It that no shoes feel so comfortable, no pipe smokes so well, no gun
snoots so straight, and no rod casts so far as the old one?
We all know the reason; it is from the fact that a man forms a friendship
for those things which he has tried; he knows what they will do and thats
enough for any sensible man. ' -
They are his old friends his old standby s, and he will not. forsake them
without a protest.
So too with your bank ; it should so serve you and you should so support
it that it shall grow and be strong, and then you may point to it with pnde and
say, "There's my Old Standby." . .
We aim to be progressive and make this bank responsive to the ever-increasing
demands of our friends, but we are always on our guard to keep it strong
and safe, so that it shall live" through the years and be an Old Standby to
successive generations.

George II. Davis, for many years a
member of the Boston xiliee force,
with his wife and children, is occupying
the Charles Davis farm neftr this vil
las. He bought it recently -from his
grandfather's estate. This is a case of
migration in the right direction, for the
farms and farm production. The place
had been practically abandoned sev
eral years, owing t its location on a
high "and steep hill. Formerly the main
highway between Bethel and Rochester
villages went by this house. The dis

Again it is said that no nation but
the United States is fitted to restore
peace in Mexico. That statement has
a strangely familiar ring. It recalls
that every time a nation gets into dis
tress through internal discord there is
a plea that the I'nited States can
remedy the diflicutfy. However, the
known attitude of Mexicans of nearly
all classes ' towards the United States
precludes the possibility of the United
States being a peacemaker in the dis
turbed nation. Of course, the United
States could do it, but it might take
several hundred thousand men to do it
and the United States is not ready
to sacrifice that number of men in
order to intervene in a purely internal
ruction in the neighboring country.
Therefore, the talk about American in
tervention in Mexico is rather farfetched.
HOW DO THE VERMONT CANDI
DATES STANDI
Before Vermont Republicans select
delegates to represent them at the Re
publican national convention to nomi
nate a candidate for president and a
candidate for vice-president, these hav
ing the electing power through the
state convention have a right to know
how the various candidates mentioned
stand as retrards a pledged delegation
and, also, if they are representing any
special cliques having predilections
toward certain candidates for presi
dent. What Vermont really wants, we
believe, is an unbiased delegation
ready to size tip the situation in Chi
cago and ready to ue their influence
toward nominating tho man who seems
at that time to meet the requirements
best of all in the field. Vermont Re
publican sentiment is at the present
time divided up regarding the qualifica
tions of several candidates, and it
would be the unfair thing to attempt
to deliver the votes of the state to
any candidate, either by actual pledge
r by recommendation in the state con
vention. Therefore, it is only right
the candidates tdiould frankly make
statement of their position regarding
the Republican candidates. Very lit
tle is knonn by Ihe Republican voters
of the state to the personal feel
ings of these men who have been
mentioned. A statement of willinpness
to go to Chicago without bias might
1-clp the candidates quite materially.
