PLAY A TIE.
Kenosha and Racine Play Foot Ball Sat-
urdaY.


Kenosha and Racine high school
played the second game Of foot ball at
Exposition grounds in Racine on Sat-
urday, resulting in tie game. After
time was called. Leonard picked up the
ball and walked in goal, and insisted
that it was a touch down, but the UNI
pire, who was also coaching the Racine
team was rather timid. and would not
decide either way. The referee forgot
his part ullce in while, and could be
Dluffed, by that champion buffer of
whom the Racine team boasts. The
grounds were in poor condition, being
muddy in the center and frozen hard
short distance from center.
Both teams played the same men,
except Anderson (K) played KimbalPs
place; Cooper in Growers; and Hansen
in Hannan's. Racine played twelve
men during the last fifteen minutes of
the game. Average weight of Racine
team was LAC lbs. and of Kenosha's 128.
About 600 people were on the grounds,
only small delegation accompanied
the Kenosha team. Only for the late
ness of the season third game would
be played.

Who Are Farmers {?
action.

Editor of Wdtchmdn:-" Caledonian," in
the WATCHMAN of October 30, wants to
know "who are the farmers of Vermont"
The question is an absurd one on the face
of it, and seems to be asked for the purpose
OF drawing disparaging comparison between
the farmers Of the state who own and till
the farms on which they live, and the glove
fingered gentry who have accumulated prop.
erty in other kinds OF business, or have be-
come wealthy by inheritance, and are farm
ing as a recreation rather than as a bust
ness. These are not the genuine, recog-
nized farmers OF the state, and everybody
knows it. We are glad to have such men
among us, and we like to see them use
their wealth for the qualification of their
personal tastes in the adjournment OF their
homes and in the purchase and ownership
of fine blooded stock Of all kinds, paying,
as Caledonian says, thousands of dol
lars for single cows il they wish to, but
such are not the men who, with their
muscle and brains, have built up the state
and, as " Caledonian " rightly says, made
Vermont what she is-the peer of any of
the states" 1t makes me tired however, to
hear him talk about the bone and siuew Z"
of the state. That is the old claptrap talk
OF the politician in the days gone by. The
man who, to-day, pats the farmer on the
shoulder and calls him the bone and
olhOW VI Obo bbdIc VI bApbCIluR TO
win his favor or to get his vote thereby,
gets left every time. The farmer knows
what such talk means.
A man to-day can till his own farm and
at the same time be broad minded, think
ing, intellectual man, who understands cur
rent events and the needs of the state as
we'll as men in any other profession or call
ing. Such are the men named in my former
article. They are representative farmers
Every one of them has been in public life
more or less, all are good business men, up.
to date on educational matters, and some
OF them are widely known outside the state
of Vermont; but none of them are bank
presidents, and l do not believe that any
of them ever paid $1,000 for single COW.
" And there" says Caledouian," as he
closes his article, " there is the combination
farmer and lawyer" SO there is, and he
is generally the man who wants to " farm
the farmer" III farmer happens to have
among his collection of books the revised
statutes, and one or two books on general
law, there is no sense whatever in calling
him lawyer; neither is there any sense in
calling lawyer a farmer because he hap.
pens to own an acre of land and hen.
Does y Caledonian now understand what
l mean by tdrmeT VERMoNTER.

A "TOpic" for the Press Association,

The Vermont Press Association will
hold its annual meeting next week. In
its postal-card notifications of the event,
the executive committee requests pub
fishers who cannot be present to " sug-
gest some topic for discussion" We
should judge from such information as
we have received from time to time
that the subject of charges for adver-
Using would be an exceedingly profit
able one for discussion, and for practice
after the editors and publishers have
wandered back to their printing offices.
We refer particularly to charges for
foreign advertising. Space is the pub.
lisher's merchandise. 1t is a part of
his stock in trade. 1t is what he has to
sell, and from which he must derive a
large part of his revenue. Some pub.
fishers appear to regard their news
paper space as merchant would look
at a lot of unreasonable and unsaleable
goods, something to be got rid of at any

an offer, to be disposed of at no price. So
they are easy victims of advertising
sharks. They are quick and ready to
take any offer that is made, give
any position that is exacted, and sub
NIT to any demand for allowance on the
alleged ground of omissions or incorrect
insertions.
Sometimes most unjust discrimina-
ton is made between the local and the
foreign business. Here is an appalling
case in point: An itinerant doctor,
operating during the present year in
the northeastern part of the state, per-
suaded the leading papers in that Sec
ton to publish his reading-matter ad-
vertisements at-how much per column
of twenty inches? The enormous sum

The temperance meeting at the Methodist

The recital at Seminary Hall, last
Wednesday evening, by Mrs. Greene and

seemed perfectly adapted to her part and
charmed the audience.
The delegates to the Sunday school con-

full attendance of all interested is desired.

OF Sz'OUl Anu tnlS was uOno NV ohOo
or twice, but week after week, for
weeks in succession. The matter was
set in body type, appeared on the edito-
rial page, and was changed weekly.
This doctor was taking thousands of
dollars out of those communities on the
strength of the advertising he had
bought for a mere bagatelle. These
newspapers got nothing for their space.
The price paid would not cover the
bottom mechanical cost of the adver-
Using. The chairman Of the executive
committee of the association may be
familiar with the facts in the case.
Such customer ought to pay double
local rates, but while he piled up his
dollars he chuckled over his smartness
in getting the most valuable kind of
advertising practically for nothing.
Here is kind of specimen brick
from an agency: A publisher received
for three.inch advertisement, electro
typed, fifty-two insertions, top of
column, next reading matter, on
editorial, local, or telegraph page, etc.,
etc., an offer of the munificent sum of
$500 gross. The agency got scorch-
ing letter in reply, request to know,
as matter of curiosity, why postage,
time and stationery were wasted in
making such absurd proposals, closing
with a counter offer to take the adver-
tisement for $50 net, run of paper, pay
quarterly. A prompt acceptance of
this proposal was the agency's brief
and only answer to the publishers
letter. If publishers will make fair
rates and adhere firmly to them, ad-
vertisers will in the end accept those
rates.
So great have become the exactions
of foreign advertisers, publishers in
some states ore considering plans for
the control of the foreign advertising
business. One scheme includes an agent
chosen by the associated publishers to
make all contracts with foreign adver-
tsers, on scale of rates based on cir
culation, prepared by committee and
adopted by the association. Publishers
would not deal directly with these ad-
vertisers, but all advertising PROPOSE
tions would be referred to the associa-
TONS agent. The details of the plan
are few and simple. If every pub
Usher would enter such an association O.,
and stick to it, and if the agent were
judicous, efficient and honest, and the
circulation liar" could be exercised,
possibly plan of this kind might be
made to work. Its trial in any state
would be watched with great interest,
and in its operation it ought to inure
greatly to the benefit both of the pub
fishers and their foreign customers.
The WATCHMAN is finding no fault
with any agency or any foreign adver.
tiser. This paper gets its price or it
doesn't take the advertising. Some of
the agencies and many of the adver.
Users in question are desirable custom
ers, fair and honorable in making and
keeping their contracts, but the COM
mon good might be advanced by some
practical scheme of organization and CO.
operation.
When the Vermont association be-
comes something besides an organized
appetite or junket, when it gets down
to serious business, it may find some
scheme of organic .tion for the common
good worth consideration and decisive
action.

right and privilege to refuse to take
liquor-selers as clients. If, however,
entertaining these views, he should re-
fuse to defend common violators OF the
liquor law, but should render profes
sional service to respondent of rank
and quality, an apology to the public
would be eminently proper. And an
apology would be eminently proper
from the jury, also, which, in such a
case, in view of the facts admitted and
proved, should struggle twenty-six
hours to find verdict of acquittal.
