TIE MINNEAPOLIS Chamber of Commerce
has petitioned Congress to suppress the
monthly crop reports cent out by the Agri'
cultural d apartment for the reason that they
are of no practical value, and are injurious
to the farming interests, the data for them
being gathered frequently from unreliable
sources. 1t was boldly charged not long
since that the reports referred to were pre-
pared in the interests of spectators, and the
impression created by that charge still exists,
nor has anything ever been done that would
remove it satisfactorily. There must be
cheats, and the Agriculture Department
affords them as good and safe neat as any
of the other governmental departments, and
ia as susceptible to their baneful Influence as
any of the others.

compelled to buy large quantities OF 1t re-
Gently for the purpose of using it with the
ore so plentiful along the line OF their road
for the msnufacture of steel rails. With the
tax on foreign ore removed, Bessemer steel
could be sold here at cheaper rates than that
made abroad, and Virginia soon become the
worlds storehouse for such steel. And yet
there are Virginia people who oppose the
removal of the tax on iron ore, and say 1t
would be Injurious to Virginia's interests.

The Second District.

The governor contest overshadows
everything else. Returns from the dis
trict caucuses are scattering and in
complete, but enough have been re-
ceived to indicate that General Grout
will be renominated by large ma
iOrity. The time chosen for holding
the district convention was exceedingly
unfortunate. 1t was plain that there
would be a sharp canvass and it was
bad policy TO inject it into the very
heart of the hottest state canvass in the
history of the republican partyan YER
mont. 1t has unnecessarily compli-
Gated and embarrassed political action
on the east side. 1t gave also very in
sufficient time for the district canvass
1t was impossible to give district affairs
anything like that deliberate, thorough
going consideration they required.
They should have had at least month
for calm and Independent discus
sion after the governor question
had been disposed of. This has
been the great difficulty with Col. Hook
er's canvass. Many important facts
were set before the people, but their
minds were preoccupied with the exist
ing issues of the state campaign. With
a reasonable time for hearing, weighing
and deciding on the questions affecting
the interests of the district, we have no
doubt result entirely different would
have been reached. Colonel Hooker
made gallant fight and deserved to
win.

For Secretary of State.

No publicly-announced candidate for
the office of secretary of state appears
against Mr.. Porter. G. w. Brownell
of Burlington, for many years secretary
of the senate, desires the office, and has
for some time been soliciting support
in various parts of the state. Mr..
Brownell is a man of good ability, a
pleasant gentleman. for whom we enter
tain high regard and whom we would
cheerfully and voluntarily support for
any Office to which he might aspire, if
in Justice to state interests we could so
support him. In the matter of the
Office in question we no not believe it
is wise for the state to make change.
We have before given our reasons, and
it is not necessary to repeat them.
His predecessor was allowed to hold
the office some nineteen years. Mr..
Porter has held it six years. He is the
peer of the best of the officials that have
preceded him. He has made no can
vass for denomination. He has written
no letters, he has sought support from
no one. He has said in answer to all
inquiries that he has held the office
three terms. He appreciates the hon
ors bestowed. He has tried to peform
the duties of his office well and faith
fully. 1t is for the people to say
whether they wish his services any
longer. Mr.. Porter's position in this
matter is highly honorable-and some
thing of novelty in modern politica
history.

coveted opportunity came. Oregon has
a wool clip of II 900 900 pounds; she has
1929, $50 sheep; she raised 100000
bushels of wheat last year; she has vast
lumber interests; she is making money
from the new industry of prune culture,
and she has other important crops. To
make the issue more distinct, the demo-
cratic candidate for congress made his
campaign on the tariff. We have the
word of democratic ex-senator Grover
that he made brilliant canvass on this
issue. Here, then, we have the most
favorable conditions for that appeal for
which the free-traders have protested
themselves eager, a farming state, ripe
for revolt-or thought to be--and a
campaign on the tariff, brilliantly
fought by an able candidate. And
what was the response? The largest
republican majority in the history of
the state.-BoSton Journal.

Stop Thief.

The friends of Mr.. Page must be on
the lookout for all sorts of canardS as
the decisive hour of the campaign
approaches. An instant's credence
should not be given to single
word of any of these reports. Here
comes, in the Free Press, story,
with flaming headlines, of an at
tempt by agents of Mr.. Page to buy
Woodbury. delegates. =" Doodle is in
the air." they say. The Canada lie
and the calf-skin absurdity are to be
followed apparently by another brood
of Infamous charges. If there is any
thing at all in this Rutland tale, it will
very likely be found to be repetition
of the old familiar trick of the thief
joining in the chase and Justify shout
ing "stop thief" Watch those who
are first raising this cry of Doodle.

ism endured the shock. Indeed, it was
rather tickled by the favor the Argus
showed Mr.. Dillingham; when his
name was first mentioned as candi-
date. The Messenger, if its new creed
is anything more than sheer hypocrisy
or buncombe, designed to affect this
particular canvass, will be found next
fall, when the question of his reelection
comes up, trying to strangle Senator
Morrill, with columns of editorial bilge-
water, because, forsooth, the ArguS
has recently said the venerable states
man should receive the vote of every
democrat that may be in the next gen.
eral assembly. o, there are no flies on

A Distressed Messenger.

The 81. Adams Messenger is particu-
larly distressed because, as it alleges,
the Argus and Patriot favors Carroll S.
Page for the governorship. The Mes
Senger is so pure patriot, so " straight a"
a republican, its own intelligence is so
strong and its convictions so clear, it
can never, no never, support for office
any republican for whom the naughty
Argus indicates the slightest preference.
We supposed the Argus was supporting
for governor the candidate of its own
party. We had not discovered in our
contemporary any special fondness for
republican candidates on either side.
We remember that two years ago the
organ of the state democracy was eff
fusively praising W. p. Dillingham;,
but the Messengers austere republican

Literary Notes.

THE June number of the NeW ERglaRd
Mdgdzine is, as usual, beautifully illus
trated. The frontispiece is a portrait of
Seth Low, president of Columbia College,
and the first article is one on that institu-
tion written by Professor j. Howard Van
Amringe. The Great Dorr War" by
Charles II. Payne, tells of the civil struggle
which the state of Rhode Island had fifty
years ago. "The Home of Lydia Maria
Child" is delightful sketch, and A
Woman of Shawmut," by Edmund j. Car
penter, an editorial writer in the Boston
Advertiser, opens promisingly. THE Early
Home of Henry w. Grady is another in
teresting article, as is that of Frederic H.
Chase on Is Agriculture Declining in New

stories of religious life in the Kentucky
backwoods," says the Literary World, " and
they deserve the attention of all who would
know how some hundreds of thousands Of
people in the Southwest live and think and
feel" We have read this volume with gem
uine interest, Its author not only describes
scenes, many of which he himself wit
messed, but he writes with " feelings of kind
ness and gratitude " to the kind-hearted
mountain folk for their unnumbered acts
of hospitality and friendship towards him
than a passing interest in the people of the
Cumberland mountains, so loyal to the ma
ton in its dark hours, and TO whom the ma
ton owes a debt of gratitude. This vol
ume contains three stories, The Wind-up
of the Big Meetin' on No Business" "Old
Man Kline " and The Poet of Fodderstock
Mountain -" slender threads of fiction
strung with incidents from life," says the
author. Simply for the study of character
of a type hardly known, we Judge, to New
Englanders, only through the printed page,
these sketches should have marked value.
But if it be true, as Edmund Kirke be-
lieves, that the mountain whites " in the
southern Alleghanies, " educated and So
cially and morally elevated, would supply
the needed aid in keeping intact our free in
stitutious in the crisis threatened by the in
tlux of foreign anarchists and communists,
then anything that can better acquaint us
with them deserves welcome. Price of
