Judge Lochren and HIS Decision

Vermont did not give birth to Judge
William Lochren of the United States
District Court of Minnesota, whose decis-
ION holding that the constitution applies
to Porto Rico, has produced something of
sensation in legal and legislative circles;
but II reared him and ped his life to a
marked degree. He was born in Ireland.
but his parents brought him to this coun-
try while he was yet in tender years, He
was educated in Franklin county and was
admitted to the bar in St Adams in June,
1886. Later he removed to Minneapolis
where he has distinguished himself He
was judge OF tho fourth judicial district
court of Minnesota from 1881 until May.
1898. when he was appointed United States
commissioner Of pensions. His appoint
ment TO the federal bench by President
Cleveland was confirmed in May, 1886
Inasmuch as Senator Ross in his speech
on the civil status of Porto Rico during
the consideration Of that subject in the
Senate is credited with having done much
to convince a majority of the republican
members Of that body that the cons;itu-
ton of the United States would not apply
10 that island without special legislation
by Congress. il can be seen that Vermont
influences have figured on both sides of
this question to a conspicuous degree.
While Judge Lochren's opinion has the
weight Of a decision of judicial tribunal.
1t stands as the opinion of a single indi-
vidual and as suoh does not carry with it
conviction TO all who have held a con-
trary view. The decision establishes
something Of a precedent for judicial pro-
cedure; but, whatever the merits of the
question may be the issue will not be de-
hnitely settled from a legal standpoint
until test case has been disposed of Ivy
the Supreme Court of the United States.

A Reflection on Vermont's Civilization

1t was to be expected that advantage
would be taken of the opportunity afford
ed by the exciting chase ana capture Of
the Shaws, who escaped from the Jail in
Woodstock and killed AN officer engaged
in their pursuit, TO moralze upon the
state of civilization in Vermont. 1t was
also to be taken for granted that the
Springfield Republican, which, has seldom
been able to see anything good in the
state, would be both visbly and audibIy
Impressed by this phase OF the case in
question.
The Republican is deferred from venting
its spleen upon the State in this instance
unreservedly. however, BY consideration
of the fact that western Massachusetts
and Vermont have many characteristics
In common. While recognizing the fact
that 1t would be presumptuous TO gener-
nlize from the single case, the contempor-
AIRY thinks il will be admitted that the
outlaw character OF the men captured Is
"a symptom OF rural life throughout New
England that is not reassuring" II adds
There is much of the old Yankee stock
scattered over tho hillsides that - VI bad

The intmation by members of the State
Board of Agriculture that milk from COWS
afflicted with tuberculosis was being sold
in this city in spite of the precautions ia
ken to guard against this possibility ma
turally occasions considerable surprise
Not only have citizens forced the leading
milk dealers To subject their herds to the
tubercuIin test, but samples of milk from
a great variety of sources have been test
ed for traces of germs. and in view of
this fact doubt is expressed as to the
founda ton for any sweeping statement Of
this character. 1t is better to be entirely
sure, however.
Experience IN Vermont as well as in
other states has demonstrated that bovine
tuberculosis may be discovered where it
is likely TO be least suspected to exist
This disease has made its appearance in
some of the finest herds in the United
States and no section OF country has es-
capped its ravages, The only safe way for
consumers OF milk, in particular, there

The contract for the building of the

at quebec is said 10 have been awarded
10 the Phoenix Bridge Company of Phoe-

that his dairy cows have been thoroughly
all signs of this disease.
1t might be assumed that the State
Board of Agriculture to whom the con-
trolling of bovine tuberculosis in Vermont
was entrusted by the Legislature of 1884,
would attend to this duty; but as a mat
ter of fact the members Of that body can
not apply the tuberculn test to a herd
without the consent of the owner of the
cattle, or slaughter animals except in GER
tain contingencies. 1t is probable that the
law in this respect may be amended at
any legislation enacted next autumn will
not suffice to guard the interests of the
public in the interim. The people must
therefore take this matter into their own
hands to certain degree and bring pres
sure to bear upon dealers.
There is in reality no reason why every
dealer in milk should not take measures
to reach certainty regarding the alb
sencc of tuberculosis from his dairy In
the experience of the State Board cover
ing over eighty thousand inspections the
disease once eradicated by test
and by one retest seldom reap
pears except as result of i'm
perfect disinfecton or the introduction OF
diseased cattle into the herd. a dairy
once free from the disease can be kept so
either by the raising of ones own cattle
or by conhning purchases of cattle to
tested animals.
Inasmuch as tuberculosis is liable to
affect both the meat and milk products
of the animal diseased and the
germs can in this way lie scat
tered and transmitted to all con-
sumers of these products. 1t can be seen
that too great care can not be exercised
for the purpose of securing beef and milk
that are free from all traces of this dis
ease. In some cities milk dealers are re-
quirod to have a license for the sale of
the milk of their own or other diaries, and
1t is possible to make the tuberculn test
one of the requirements therefor. 1t
might be we'll for Burlington and other
cities in Vermont to adopt this system.

Charlotte Claim to the Senatorship

In your article on "Chittenden County

tied to name Senator from this side OF
the river this year and there is no doubt
we shall go into the convention with a
solid delegation for one candidate other
wise there will be no use of presenting
our claims at all. 1t is very unlikely that
