The Vermont farmer will find 1t hard
to realize that the potato is not a very
old-establshed article of food. The Lon
don Times has been reprinting items
from its files of just hundred years ago.
Here is one from its issue of Oct. 10,
1901: IA MIR. Vacher of Rockford
Farm, near Poole, last year planted one
Potatoe, which produced him 1856 in num-
Der, and there would have been still
more, had not boy lost one of the eyes
after the Potatoe was cut In pieces. The
Farmer, having saved the whole of them,
had them planted, which he has now
dug up, and finds that they have multi
piled to the number of 9236, and weigh
13cwt. 3qrs., which certainly is very
great increase from one single root In
two years."

Further census statistics of Vermont
have been issued by the Census Office at
Washington. They relate primarily to
the native and foreign born and the
sexes. Addison county is credited with
1896 native and s25 foreign born males,
and 99S9 native and 1872 foreign-born
females. Mddlebury town is the only
civic division of the county which is
quoted in the report. Is has 1857 males
and 1467 females of native birth, and 124
males and 81 females of foreign birth.
The negro population of the state is
comparatively small, only eight cities
and towns having more than ten color
ored people of both sexes. Middlebury
is not included in the number. Brandon
has five male and eight female negroes.
There are in the state los, 1856 males ever
81 years Of age. OF the number only
1914, or less than 8 per cent, are illit-
crate, and even this small proportion is
more than half made up Of foreigners,

A Tall Smoke Column.

During the burning of the Standard
Oil company's tanks at Bayonne, N. j.,
in July, 1900. an immense column of
smoke, shaped at the top like an UNI
brella, rose into the air, where very lit.
tie wind was stirring, to an elevation,
measured by triangulation, of 13,411
feet, or more than two miles and half.
Above the column white clouds formed
in an otherwise cloudless sky and re-
NAMED visible for two days, the fire
continuing to burn and the smoke to
rise. After the explosion of an oil
tank flames shot up to height Of 5000
feet, and the heat radiated from them
was felt at distance of a mile and
three-quarters, where 1t was more no
ticeable than close to the fire.-Youth's

The sentiments expressed by Justice
Brewer of the supreme court or the
United States at New Haven have not
attracted the attention to which they
are entitled, as the utterances of men,
her of the supreme judicial tribunal of
our land but this fact is unquestionably
due to the great mass of matter pub
Iished in connection with the Yale cele-
bration. He recognized the fact that
various causes are operating in our midst
to produce wealth, consolidation and
Capitalization; that local selfcontrol is
giving away before the pressure of
centralized power, that the town meeting
is supplanted by the legislature and the
legislature in turn by congress; that
political parties are largely under the
control of BOSSES and that the whole
great forces of industry, business and
politics seem to be passing under the
dominance of single central control.
The fact to be specially noted In this
connection is that Justice Brewer, while
conceding that this tendency is apparent
ly antagonistic to Republican thought of
equality and right, holds that you can
not stay this movement toward CONSOLE
dation and Capitalization. He insists
that these forces are the result of a
natural evolution; that the commercial
spirit is simply taking advantage of the
wonderful facilities growing out of the
application of steam and electricity.
Justice Brewer has unquestionably
condensed a great deal of truth into
short space as regards the trust problem
and other questions growing out of the
centralzing tendencies of this age.
Until our nation is willing to take the
position that no man can own stock in
two or more corporations at the same
time aud that the guaranty of interstate
commerce is wrong it will be practical
impossibility to formulate effective legis-
lation against industrial combinations
that will stand the test of constitution
ality.
If this country were to experience an
other financial and industrial crisis in
the near future the chances are that
many of the so-called trusts would go to
the wall; but the most that can be done
with these great combinations at the
present time is to see that they bear
their Just proportion Of the burden OF
taxation for the support of the govern
ment and for public improvements. Ii
Is in this direction that President Roose-
welt is likely to act, and his recommend
atiOns in relation to trusts will be
awaited with degree of Interest only
second to that attending his official Ut
terances regarding reciprocity. That he
will have something important to say
with respect to trusts Is indicated by the
precedent he established in the Empire
state by promoting the enactment of the
law providing for the franchise tax.

If the news from London is true, the
syndicate which proposes to challenge

partly made up of politicians. 1t is fair
to infer, therefore, that they have more
