The suggestion of the Burlington Free Press
in reference TO making Hon. Geo. Nichols the
next governor of Vermont will meet with no
objection in this section of the state.
DIR. Nichols has served the state faithfully for
many years, his ability and integrity are un-
questioned, and it is only fitting thing that,
in due time, he should round out his public
career with term Cor two as governor. But
since the Billings boom has flashed in the pan
so prematurely, it would be the height of fol-
ly to attempt to start another boom thus early
in tho year for anybody. Ropes of the Watch
man has a monopoly of the Cyclone bust
ness, and ought to be allowed to keep it.
Moreover, the people of Windham county
will watch with some interest to sec who it is
that is blooming" Secretary Nichols, or any
other candidate.

true, as reported, that Grant thinks Logan is
the best man for the Republicans to nomin-

that there is something wrong with his head.

The -prohibitionists in New York have
joined hands with the rumsellers to defeat the
Roosevelt bill, now before the legislature,
which aims to establish a high-lcense system
similar to that which has proved so successful
at the West With blindness and lack Of
common sense too often exhibited these
supposed uncompromising opponents of
the liquor traffic lend their aid to the lowest
classes engaged in that traffic in order to pre-
vent the passage of restrictive measure.
They shut their eyes, as the Tribune we'll OBJ
serves, to the obvious fact that any plan which
lessons the quantity of liquor sold, and CON
fines the traffic to places where some respect
is paid to the laws, is gain for good order
and public morals They insist on oil or
nothing, refusing to acknowledge, what is
perfectly plain to every one else, that if it
were possible to pass prohibitory law in New
York, its enforcement in the large cities would
BIO out of the question.

Every Vermonter will recall with pleasure
the fact that there is at least one man in Con-
gress to whom the following caustic but we'll
deserved paragraph from the New York Times
does not apply-thNt man being Hon. Justin
s. Morrill,, who has repeatedly urged upon the
attention of Congress plans for more suita-
BILE library building, and who has this week
for a second time secured the passage through
the Senate of bill for such building:
1.-THE proper care and preservation of the Congress
sonal library is subject in which the average Sena-
tor and Congressman takes but faint interest One
half the books Of this great collection rapidly going
TO destruction for lack of shefroom. They are now
piled upon the floor, prey to dampness and are in

to the capital keenly sensible of the dsgraceful
condition of the library. Senators and Representa-
tiyes seem TO think it not worth saving If it be found
impossible to pass bill approprating money for Ii.

and Of simple decency for Congress have the sur
plus books stored IN some fit place until legislators
more capable of approaching the value of the coec-

BY request we publish the following letter,
which is prefaced by quotation from our
Lawton correspondence of last week. We
can not, however, understand how the matter
requires any explanation. The item appears
innocent enough, and does not conflict with
the statement given.
"a select party will be given at Desen-
berg,s hall, Friday evening, and the NJ. +.
Church society will get up an excellent sup
per for those who "trip the light fantastic
toe" The other side: The officers of the
church knew nothing of the dance until after
the supper was determined upon, time fixed
advertisement made, and cards ordered print
ed. They then called a council to enquire if
they had not better change the time. After
careful consideration they said no. We will
60 on, and carry out our plan, and make what
can be made under the circumstances. The
committee did their work faithfully, gather
ing supplies and selling tickets and sending
invitations to all they could. The people re-
sponded nobly. A net benefit of $61.32 was
received for the pastor, for which he desires
here, and now, to return them the sincere
thanks of himself and family. The dancers
came and bought their tickets, ate their sup
pers as gentlemen and ladies should, went
away at their pleasure. Not because the
supper was prepared for them, but because
they. were in sympathy with the men and
measures for which the supper was made.
The church did not compromise her princi-
Piles in the least. The Methodist Epispocal
Church recognizes dancing parties as an I'M
mixed evil, has enacted laws against dancing,
no person can consistently be member of
the church who dances or helps others dance.
But she does not regard it such crime az to
shut the dancer out of her pews, her Sabbath
school classes, or her church suppers. She
believes she can make men christians by per-
suasiop, but never by ostracism and force.

No person or place ever had more reason
to pray "God deliver me from my friends"
than this much mis-represented state. Those
who have had land TO sell, and wanted the
country to fill up, have given such glowing
accounts of the soil, climate, and produc-
tions, that people with limited means, and
poor health, have come here, fondly hoping To
gain both health and wealth, but finding they
had been deceived, they become discouraged
and get away as soon as possible, and their
reports are as unjust and deceptive as those
that lured them here. Both classes tell some
truths, but very much falsehood. After two
months travelling to different places, and
talking with all classes, feel somewhat pre-
pared to give report that shall approximate
the truth:
First, then, the soil is mostly very fine
sand, with just enough of clay, or some other
ingredient to make it pack so solid that il
will not absorb the water that falls, and the
same popularity keeps it moist When
came here was told that no rain had fallen
for three months, still nothing was suffering
in consequence. took garden trowel and
dug into one of the flower beds, and if it
had been in box, / should have thought it
was very stiff moratr prepared for laying
stone. 1t is impossible to raise any kind of
crop, without first cultivating thoroughly,
and using an abundance of fertilizing ma
terial of some sort, still, if any one can
buy not more than ten acres of the soil, and
has money enough to pay from $50 to $40
per acre for clearing, fencing, breaking up,
and planting to oranges from two to three
years old, and still have enough left to live
on for two years, or if he can go north and
earn enough during the summer to keep
him through the winter, while he cultivates
his trees, at the end of that time the ten
acres will be worth more than if his money
had been placed at compound interest; but
for poor person to think of coming here
to get even comfortable living is absurd,
and as for getting rich, one might as well
attempt to start a wholesale dry goods store
without money or credit. 1t is pitiful to see
some who have come here for their health
after reading the wonderful stories printed
by those who had land to sell. Many of
them paid their all for q few acres of land,
then made heroic efforts to raise something
TO live upon; and now find they cannot.
They cannot pillow without horses or oxen:
if they could get these, there is nothing for
them to eat, only as it is shipped from the
north. Corn is worth dollar per bushel hay
in bales brings a fabulous price. The feed
i'll the woods is nearly worthless some of
the old settlers, natives of the state, have
cattle in the woods, but they are 30 poor
that the first ones / saw looked as though
they had been sick q long time, and were
turned out to die, which, by the way, some
have proceeded to do since the frost. Truly,
this is no place for poor person to come,
with the expectation of ever being anything
else. Z. NJ. z.

and the 1913 farmers will be % ,086.40 poorer,
because class of men have set mp the sen
timental cry of free trade.
II foreign tradesmen are willing to pay
for the privilege of selling in our markets
and come with the money in their hands
offering TO pay the expense of running our
government, / don't see the sense in refus-
ing it; and if the revenues to the government
from the whisky and tobacco tax, should be
large enough to pay the expense in every
state incurred by intemperance, 1t would only
be Just compensation for the expense in
volved by the traffic. Free trade, on the
other hand, would send our money to Other
countries to pay for their goods, with nc
prospect of return.
There are many other interesting features
involved in this question, which / have nc
room to elucidate, and must leave for another
occasion.
