Our Official Farm Exchange and Sum-
mer BOarder Directory.

Chairman Bell of the State Board of
Agriculture has published the follow
ing notice:
THE Board OF Agriculture will soon is
sue pamphlet which, among other things,
will advertise farms for sale, and all hotels
and families that wish to take summer
boarders. The advertisement for farm
may give description, location, acres, build
ings and owners address, not to exceed
three lines. For boarders-name of house,
number of rooms, price by the week, at
fractions to enjoy, and distance from rail-
road"
This is an excellent idea in theory,
and thoroughly and inteligently car
ried out in practice may be made to
result in much good. The practical
effect will be, however, to largely in
crease the duties of the board, and
turn their energies to a considerable
extent into another channel.
The conception of the State Board of
Agriculture as real estate agency and
summer boarder directory is rather a
surprising one, and requires some Sc
rious consideration before the extent
of the innovation can be fully compre-
hended. We hope that the board fully
realizes the magnitude of the work
which it has cut out for itself, its
scope, the labor involved and the pos
sibilities of large benefit to the people
if made successful and permanent. AL
though, as we have said, it is difficult
to at once comprehend the scope of the
idea, and where it will lead those who
have conceived and assumed this ad-
dition to other duties, yet we can see
in it large possibilities for good. Very
many people want to buy and sell real
estate and they will probably avail
themselves of the gratuitous services of
a middleman Of this character. Then
again, the summer resident brings
money into the State and leaves it in
exchange for health and recreation.
Hundreds of Vermonters have seen in
this industry opportunities which they
are making the most of, and hundreds
more will do so with this vastly ex-
tended facility for presenting the in
ducements and attractions which they
may offer. The farm exchange idea
will be accepted and taken advantage
of as a great convenience. The sum-
mer boarder end of the proposition
will directly bring large quantities of
money into the State and leave it in
the thrifty pockets of our people.
All this is theory. What the actual
result of the innovation of the Board
will be remains to be seen. We hope,
however, that the original purposes
and duties of the Board will not be
lost sight of in the assumption Of new
duties and the concoction of new
schemes, however worthy. There will
always be the opportunity for and ne
cessity of plenty of hard work along
the lines originally laid down for the
direction of the Vermont Board of Ag-
riculture. Let its numbers be increas-
ed, and its effectiveness extended.

The president of Utah's State Senate
seized the opportunity while the Gov
ernor was across the State line to well
come Roosevelt to appoint Democrat
United States Senator to fill the vacsn-
cy for some time existing. The State
officers are Republicans and the Legis-
lature is Democratic, but the latter was
unable to agree upon and elect Sena-
tor at it's last session. The case is an
exactly parallel one with that of Mon
tana, in the manner of appointment.
Under the circumstances it is more than
doubtful if the appointee is ever seated.

Cuba's Future.

The Cuban elections of this week in
dictate conditions and results which we
believe have been generally antici-
pated In this country. The radical and
naturally revolutionary element repre-
scented by the colored people finds itself
in majority, and this majority is evil
IDENTIFY governed by the same natural
tendencies and impulses which control
a mixed population in all tropical coun-
tries. These irresponsible and unsta-
BILE people form the majority, and as
such will control the government OF
the island whenever it is left to itself.
The conservative white residents OF
Cuba, who are the property holders
and on whom its commercial, indus
trial and social future depends, are and
for long time are likely to be in a
hopeless minority.
1t is not in the least parallel case to
the situation in our Southern States.
The colored men throughout the South
are peaceable, law abiding citizens,
with no prediction by inheritance and
associations for melting turmoil and
revolution. The black Cubans have
just that. They are absolutely incapa-
BILE of establishing and maintaining
stable republican form of government.
They are by nature and breeding an
archists and rioters, with this tendency
bred in the bone by long years of polit-
ical and governmental turmoil. The
history of all mixed races in tropical
countries demonstrates their inability
to establish a permanent government
which will have the confidence and re-
spect of its own people and the world
at large.
This fact being established by the
experiments and experience of history,
the concrete question is, what is to be-
come of Cuba? There is only one
answer possible, and that answer has
been foreseen from the day that the
American forces landed on Cuban soil.
The occupation of Cuba by the U nited
States involved long continued guardian
hip or sovereignty The momentwe with
draw our protection and maintenance
of law and order, that moment will |
mark the beginning of political riot,
throat cutting and chaos. The bust
ness men, the white property owners
of Cuba realize this most seriously. |
Their only hope is the permanancy of |
American occupation, which is also
the only hope of Cuba.
The United States, therefore, finds
itself responsible for the future of that
magnificent land, "where every pros
pect pleases, and only man is vile." 1t |
is serious and mighty responsibility.
1t means much patience and care, and
firm paternal government by honest
and faithful officials.
No American citizen now living will
see the flag he loves lowered in Cuba.
On the other hand he will see fair land
arise from the ashes of revolution and
become wealthy and prosperous under
its folds. Cuba has come to stay.

The st. Johnsbury Republican al
leges that that the St. Adams Msssen-
ger refers to the Montpelier JOURNAL
as "a dust heap in eruption" This
is true with the exception that nothing
of the kind ever happened. The words
quoted were the title of an editorial
in this paper, and referred to the
Grout attempt to make a campaign
issue of the Waterbury Asylum.
Close association with cross-eyed
political methods has evidently
brought upon our contemporary chron-
ic inaccuracy of sight and conse-
quent statement.

The board of agriculture announces
that it will soon publish pamphlet
advertising farms for sale, and hotels
or persons who wish to take summer
boarders, etc. Isn't the board rather
forcing the season. 1t should wait till
Christmas. Then is the time summer
boarders are seeking in Vermont relief
from the searching heat of the city.
Former boards have done this adver-
Using in May or June, when people in
the cities were looking for places in
the country. The present board is ad-
vertising for summer boarders when
the latter class of people have just
left, or are leaving, the country for
their homes in the city. Which tends
to illustrates various things.

The rainbow of political promise and

In the recent State election the Repub-

Democrats lost Of per cent and the Re-
