Antique Systems of Representation

Vermont's basis of legislative represent
tation is far from just to the larger
towns but we are much better off in this
respect than our Connecticut friends.
Union, the smallest town in the Nutmeg
State, with a population of 4Sl, sends two
representatives to the Legislature; and
with a similar basis of representation
throughout the State there would be a
membership of 1862 in the lower house,
instead of 252 as at present.
Vermont clings to her system of repre-
sentation on the ground that it is not
favorable to bossism, while in Connecti-
cut the prevailing system is said TO be
SO convenient an arrangement for boss
ism that 1t cannot be reformed. 1t would
appear, therefore. that what is meat for
the political boss in one State is poison
for his fellow boss of ncighboring COM
monwealth. But fair-minded people Will
see at once that advocates of existing
systems merely adapt their arguments to
the ends which they seek to promote. The
political boss depends more upon the SUBJ
servient character OF the people than
upon any system of legislative represent
tation. He can flourish under any sys-
TEN, provided prevailing conditions of
public sentiment are favorable to the de-
velopment of bossism.
Whatever arguments may be used for
our existing system of Legislative repre-
sentatlon, no one can have the hardlhood
to assert that it is reasonable or just.
For the little town of st. George, with
its few voters, to have the same represen-
tatlon in the Legislature as has Burling-
ton or any of the other large towns in
the State, Is an injustice which should not
be allowed to continue further. Our fore
fathers fought for the principle of equit-
able representation, which has become
the cornerstone of our national govern
ment, and most States have modelled
their Legislatures after our national law
making body to the extent of basing the
lower branch upon population. Vermont
Is one of the few States clinging to the
antiquated system, and 1t is high time
change was made.

The Vermont Legislature.

A crying evil in previous Legislatures
has been the postponement of the presen-
tation of important measures until the
session was well advanced. Legislative
procrastnation Is the thief Of the peoples
money as well as of time. 1t is also the
source of large proportion of the per-
nicious or faulty legislation which finds
its way upon statute books. The members
of both branches of the Legislature who
dc sire to commend themselves to their
constituents as we'll as to the people
the entire State will make an honest at
tempt to secure the introduction and con-
siderations of important matters at as
early a date as possible. 1t is already
known what some OF the weghty ques-
ticns to be considered are, so that there
will be no excuse for their presentation
at the twelfth hour.
Among the subjects OF consequence to
be disposed of at the coming session is
that OF an improved system of road con-
struction, topic which has interest for
all classes. This problem will be treated
of at length in Gov. Smiths inauguration
message, 1t Is understood, and inasmuch
as there is nothing intricate about the
problem and improved systems have been
thoroughly tested in other States the
system of highway supervision and con-
structlon ought to be accomplished at an
early day in the session.
Other important measures to come be-
fore the Legislature are those involving
the reorganization OF the National Guard
and the disposition to be made of the war
debt; general taxation and rate OF inter-
est; railroad legislation; the liquor prob
lem; the use of money from the State
treasury without direct authority from
the Legislature; improved accommoda.

Not n Democrat

The Troy Press thinks the only way In
which Vermont can be secured by the de q.
mocracy is for that party to nominate
George Dewey for President in 1900. There
are obstacles, however which might hin-
der its working out as expected. One Of
these is that George Dewey Is II good re-
publican in politics. and the other is that
he is not likely TO consent for a moment
to the use of his name in connection with
presidential nomination. The position
of admiral in the navy is far prefer
able to four years term as President Of
the United States and then comparative
obscurity.-Saginaw CourierHerald.
The Courier-Heralds preposterous
claim that the greatest hero of the war,
George Dewey, is republican, is made
nowhere else. In the East here. where
the Deweys are known, his fidelity to de-
mocracy is unQuestloned. Scarcely less
absurd Is the proposition that any Amer
lean would rather be an admiral than
President of the United States. "Fudge'
as the Vicar of Wakefield's friends are
won't to exclaim. 1t is not only in being
democrat. but Vermont DEM
ocrat, where there are no induce
mcnts except devotion to principle TO
cause a man to vote with that party, that
gave Dewey the moral fibre which en-
abled him to win the immortal battle OF
Manila so gloriously
1t is noteworthy that the republicans are
already alarmed at the political POSSIBLE
tiles of that great seaman and loyal DEM
ocrat, George Dewey.-Troy Press
The Troy Press simply does not know
what it is talking about. The question as
to George Dewey's politics was raised one
day in Congress, right after his victory
in Manila Bay. Congressman Powers of
Vermont then and there informed the
House that Dewey was republican. Hon.
Charles Dewey of Montpelier. the brother
of the admiral, has stated in n published
note, that his brother, George was a re-
publican. though not a politician. In Ver-
mont whore the Deweys are known, his
fidelity to the republican party is unques-
toned. The Vermont Deweys are all re-
pIblcans, so far as we know

Senator Morrill, Not to Resign.

The people of Vermont Irrespective of
party will rejoice in the announcement
that Senator Justin s. Morrill, has no in
tention of rcsigning, particularly as the
fact is developed in this connection that
Mr.. Morrilrs health is unusually good for
one of his years. Mr.. James Morrill,, son
and secretary of the distinguished senator,
says that Mr.. Morrill, has no intention of
rcsigning, his health being good. Senator
lIoar of Massachusetts testified that the
grand old mans mental vigor and in
fluence were never greater than now"
In letter to Speaker Haskins of Brat
tlcboro Senator Morrill, in denying the ru-
NOR of his intended resignation, says:
"Of course, / should not retain my seat
q day. il l supposed the people of YER
mont were anxious for a change" Sena-
tor Morrill, can rest assured on this point.
lie has an enduring place in the love and
confidence of the people of Vermont, who
are proud of the distinction enjoyed by
the Green Mountain state as a result OF
his services at the national capital. But
the demand for his continuance in the
public service is not confined to his own
state. ne BOSTON lIdnSCTlpl NOlCtS a
general sentiment when 1t says:
Senator Morrill, of Vermont gives the
country the welcome assurance that he
has not resigned and has no intention of
rcsigniny The nation has never been In
greater need of the valuable experience
and the high standard of craftsmanship
which Senator Morrill, represents than at
the present time. Compared with some of
the younger senators, he is a giant among
pigmies. lie Is not blown about by every
changing wind of doctrine. He Is not
weakening the safeguards of the country
by attaching himself to doubtful expe-
dents. He is sound. able and honest, and
as long as he has the strength to serve
we want him."
This compliment is as deserved as 1t Is
handsome, and It will be thoroughly APP
precisted by Senator Morrilrs friends
everywhere as a disinterested tribute to
the venerable and eminent statesman who
has reflected marked credit upon his ma
tive State. The announcement that he is
willing and able to continue his service
will be thrice welcome to his admirers,
not only in Vermont but throughout the
nation as well.

A Woeful Lack of Enterprise.

The statement that Vermont apples are
being shipped to Maine for canning pur-
poses suggests anew the lack of enter
prise which characterizes many sections
of the Green Mountain State Canning
factories of different kinds have been
erected in several counties, but the exist
ence of these few noteworthy exceptions
serves only TO increase the wonder that
local capital and our farming interests
do not combine in every county in the
State to provide a market for fruit and
garden truck and secure a profitable in
vcstment and at the same time establish
an industry that will add to the business
and population of the community.
Some of the residents of Southeastern
Vermont have set commendable ex-
ample for the people of other sections of
Vermont in this respect We notice that
the corn canning establishment at West
minister has put up between 10000 and
10000 cans of corn and succotash the past
season. Last year the farmers in that vi
entity received $4,000 for their corn in ad-
dition to the benefit derived indirectly
from the expenditure of considerable
sums OF money by the employees of the
factory for various necessaries of life
The factory at Windsor scaled 10000 cans
of corn and the factory at Bratteboro
10000, and the establishment in North
field also did large business
In addition to the canning of corn. Brat
tleboro also boasts of thriving industry
conducted by the jelly company. This
concern has bought over 100000 cucum-
bers which it has converted into pickles,
and the profit of this crop for tillers of
tho soil can be Judged from the fact that
one man raised over 10000 cucumbers
from an acre of ground, for which he re-
celved the handsome sum of $40 Other
producers realized equally satisfactory re-
suits. The jelly company also disposed of
thousands of bushels of apples, and the
fruit growers in that vicinity can testify
as to the benefits which they have en-
joyed from this source.
This is an age of canned food, all of the
products of the garden and fruit orchard
being capable OF preservation in this
form. as we'll as other articles of food.
Vermont ought to be furnishing the mar
ket with a large quantity of these canned
goods, but as yet our people have been
slow to avail themselves of the opportun-
ity to reap a large financial harvest from
products which now count for very little.
Nermont's climate and soil make the con-
ditions in this State peculiarly favorable
for the raising of crops for canning pur-
poses. and 1t will not be many years be-
fore every county in the State will be
able to boast of It's numerous canning in
dustries. Many communities in the Cen
trail West have grown enormously rich
through the canning industry. and the
people of Vermont might have shared in
this prosperity. but 1t is not too late to
begin. The coming season ought to see
canning plants established in all parts of
Vermont and we trust that Burlington
and other towns in Chittenden county will
rise to their opportunity and include can
ming establishments among their new in
duStries,

THAT INDICTMENT FOR BIGAMY.
10 tie Editor of the Free Press:

As my name was brought some
what into prominence under the
above heading in your issue Of
October LIST kindly permit me a word.
Not in self-defense, nor for correction. but
to "side-track" what might lead one not
acquainted with the situation, into a
wrong understanding. For reasons not
needed here, l was not active
in the late election campaign but locker
on with perhaps average eyes and ears,
The candidates are both young men with
clear heads and keen eyes for business.
Either of them could have represented the
town with honor to themselves and their
constituents. The town was worked by
both parties for all there was in IL. Both
candidates had warm friends in the differ
ent religious societies and political par
ties Among the old and young, the tenn
perate and Incorporate, no one really be-
lieves but what there was an honest cleo
ton in every respect. The result was VIC
tory for one party, not candidate. and de-
feat for the other. Now there Ia gem
eral feeling of Indignation throughout the
town not confined to party from the fact
that 1t is believed that the proceedings
against MIR. Norton would not have been
Instituted had he been defeated but were
the outcome of malice and revenge thus
bringing a blot on the good name of the
town. If 1t could be believed that any
thing had been done to promote good
morals there would be a different outlook.
The bailing Of Mr. Norton is in no
way connected with the election but with
the aftermath"

to the extraordinary demands which have
been made upon the people as a result of
the war and other causes; and caution
must be used in the voting of appropria-
lions. On the other hand 1t Is to be borne
in mind that 1t is not always true econ
omy to be niggardly. Each branch of the
Legislature will have the benefit of the
experience and advice of men who have
previously served as lawmakers, and in
asmuch as both Senate and House contain
men of marked ability and a high charac-
ter the Legislature will undoubtedly so
legislate as to commend itself to the peo-
pie of Vermont.

But at parting to temptation any man is
