It is said that there are millions of

Horace F. Graham, CrafUbury, will
be the next governor of Vermont un-
ess all signs fall. He has been state
auditor for fourteen years and no oth
er man knows the business affairs of
Vermont so well as he. Sometimes
candidates for' governor are brilliant,
sometimes popular, sometimes honest,
sometimes industrious, sometimes
able, and sometimes merely the' best
that is available. Mr. Graham is not
a human wonder, a paragon of virtue
or climax of genius, but he is a plain,
ound, hard-hoadeil, honest and patri
otic Vcrmonter with more good quali
ties than are often combined in one
speciman of mankind. With Horace
Graham governor the state will be
well served. The Banner hopes and
expects to see him nominated and
elected.
The village of llenniugton has
adopted a curfew ordinance. Pre
suinably. Frank E. Howe advocated
It and promoted it, for he is one of
the most fervcut supporters of the
primary Jaw and , a curfew law .is
made for those in the primary .de
partment. Rutland News.
AVe presume "the remarks of tho
News might apply to Rutland, but in
Bennington the boys and girls get in
to the high school anywhere from nine
to eleven and the curfew Is designed
chiefly for the younger business men
and college students home for yaca
tion. " Tlie primary law is intended for
hardened sinners liko the News and
should not be confounded with the
curfew, enacted for the protection of
youth and innocence. Rutland, we be
lieve, has a curfew but doesn't use it
as Uncle Si. Steele said of his religion

An eminent authority on nervous
diseases has announced that the blood

portant, therefore, that it be kept in
a pure, healthy condition. For this
purpose our local druggist, Win. L.
Gokayi guarantees Vinol because it
is a combination of the three most
successful tonics known, iron in its
most soluble- form, the medicinal ex
tractives of fresh cod livers, without,
oil, and the nourishing properties of
beef peptone. .'an you imagine any
thing better?

oi meditation.
Principal Gadsby decided that
would punish the offenders with
same treatment that they gave
freshman. Consequently two of
upper classmen were sent to the coal
hole yesterday to think it all over
carefully. Two more will have the
same opportunity today and so on un
til all of the 40 have enjoyed the
quiet and seclusion of the coal bole.
The boys decided to confess because
Principal Gadsby had announced that
be was afraid that all plans for '"a

summer would have to be abundoned
unless those responsible for the hating
came and told him all about it. " ... ,

The Presidential Primary.
The presidential primary in Vermont
to take place in May, looks at present
much like a blank cartridge. Voters
are expected to express by ballot their
preference for the presidential candi
date of their party. This is clear
enough, but is circumscribed by the
provision of the law that requires can
didates themselves to request in writ
ing that their names be placed on the
ofllcial ballot. As tho situation exists
tbis year, probably few names will ap
pear. Even Vv'oodrow Vv"Jlson, who is
the only Democratic prospect will go
farther than he has anywhere else if
he formally requests that bis name go
on. It is certain that neither Justice
Hughes nor Colonel Roosevelt will
take this step, and unlikely that any
Republican candidate seriously consid
ered will do so. Should this be the
case voters may Btlll make their pre
ference known by writing in the name
of their choice on the ballot. How
over, it' seems to us that this require
ment of a candidate, that he ask to go
on the ballot, is going too far. In most
states tho petition is sufficient to get
them on. and they may, if the candi
dacy is unwelcome to them, refuse to
have their names put on the official
ballot. This is a more becoming
course than putting tho initiative on
tho candidate bimself. But such im
perfections in the act re not vital and
can be remedied if they work out
poorly on trial. -Randolph Herald and

Ths Value of Advertising.
In the April American Magazine is
the story of a very wealthy man who
mado his fortune through an advertis
ing scheme, in front. of a small store
In New York City a crowd was looking
at a novel article exhibited in the win
dow. Tho advertising man introduced
himself to the proprietor of the store
and said :
" 'You have something here that is
worth a fortune if advertised. I
want, to advertise it,."
"1 don't believe much In advertis
ing." said the man.
' "I'll make you a proposition,
triplo the sales of the article in
months will you give me a half
est in the business?'1 ' . ' 1
-"After an hour's talk the other con
sented. Inside of tjve days he called
his new partner up on the phone and
begged him to stop as he was sold out
teu times over the capacity of his
plant. TheadVertising man took a
half interest in tho business, rented a
five-story building, advertised for
workers and insida of a month had
increased the output of the article
forty-fold and extended his field lo
other cities." Burlington News.
