The Agricultural Fair.
The Fair Haven Era discusses "The
Problem of the Fair" at length II
says at one point:

The Fair Haven Era discusses "The
Problem of the Fair" at length. II
says at one point:
The purely agricultural community
like Brattleboro may enjoy, as the
Phoenix infers, a purely agricultural
exhibit, though those who have noted
the attention paid at the Valley Fair to
coaching parades and diving horses,
to say nothing of the vaudeville show,
always a part of the exhibition, in
cline to differ with it.
The purely agricultural communi-
ty" reference might be expected from
under the tilted nose of a New Yorker
or Bostonian, but it sounds peculiar
ly, coming from a town with less than
half the population OF Brattleboro,
and which isn't a patch on our burgh
in volume of business, gen.
eral Importance or progressiveness.
But let that pass.
1t is evident that the Era man never
saw a Valley Fair. Diving horses
here. The coaching parade was in
vogue several years simply as a
picturesque feature of the fair. There
was no coaching parade this year, and
the attendance for the two days was
at the high water mark of $4,000. The
only vaudeville which a Valley Fair
has ever had has been an attraction
to fill in the waits between the heats
of the racing and the exhibition of
horses on the track. One admission
has always paid to everything in the
Valley Fair, to see the. coaching pa
rade, the vaudeville, and every de-
partment. Side shows and fakirs
have never been allowed on the
ground or near them. The track events
are a legitimate feature of the fair,
and a drawing card to some extent.
But the great attractiveness and the
reputation of the Valley Fair have been
built up by gathering together each
year the finest horses, cattle, sheep,
swine, dogs, poultry, agricultural
products, etc. 1t is necessary to
run special trains from Randolph and
iNubldnu OI luG
and Palmer on the south, Fitchburg
on the east and North Adams on the
west, because people wish to come to
a clean, orderly autumnal agricultural
festival.
Fair Haven is too near Cambridge,
N. Y. to judge correctly of what
should constitute fair. The Cam
bridge fair is success in a way
that is, it draws an immense crowd
Its chief fame lies in it's "eat 'em
alive" and similar weird side shows,
its fakirs and gamblers. 1t isn't a
fair it is simply a riotous revel. To
those who like that kind of a thing
it is the kind of thing they like
But there is a field, as Brattleboro
has demonstrated, for fair with agri-
culture-and that is a pretty big
word when you take it in all its sig
nificance-as its basis.

The Party Alignment.

As supplementing the analysis of
the Messenger, it is interesting to
look at what the vote showed as a
matter of party alignment. The
number of representatives who are in
actual service in the House at this
session is 241. There are 246 towns
in the state, but three failed to elect
representatives, one representative
elect (Russell of Charlotte, Republi-
cam, died before the session began,
and one Hubbard of Lyndon, Repub-
lican), has been kept at home by ILL
ness. 1t is not easy to place exact
ly the political status of every mem
Der as between straight" Republi-
cans, Clement Republicans and Dem
ocrats, but from the best information
obtainable the division stands:
Straight Republicans 1852, Clement
Republicans 40, Democrats 40. The
test vote on Friday that on the sub
stitution of the Battell bill for the
majority license bill, stood "a for the
Battell bill and 146 against it. Ten
members, including seven straight Re
publicans, one Clement Republican,
and two Democrats, We're either paired
or were on the absent or not vot-
ing list. From these figures it will
be seen that in all las Republican
votes were cast on the test vote. OF
the "a votes cast for the Battell bill,
SO were Republican votes, and one,
that of Perrin of Berlin, was a Demo-
cratic vote. This shows that only So
straight Republican votes were cast
in support of the majority license bill
and in accordance with the pledge of
the Republican platform. Follow
ing the usual custom the name of the
speaker was not called If he had
voted, the number would have been

BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2s 1902.

resent the vote of their constituency.
Figures are given by The Messen-
ger for each county in the state. In
regard to the proportion of the total
Republican vote cast by the six Wind
ham county towns, whose representa-
tives voted for the Battell bill, the
Messenger gives these figures:
The Windham county towns vot-
ing for the Battell bill were Brook
line, Somerset, Stratton, Vernon,
Wardsboro, and Windham. These
towns cast 2SS of the 2,SO4 straight
Republican votes cast by the whole
county. Their total vote, all parties,
was 4S6 of the 5,642 cast by the en-
tire county.
AS to whether the six members cor
rectly represented the~vote of their
own town constituencies, the Mes
senger says: "In Windham county,
out of the 1876 votes cast by the six
towns whose representatives voted
for the Battell bill, 456 we're for a
license referendum" No opinion is
expressed by The Messenger and no
criticism is made beyond its state
ment of figures from each of the IA
counties. The only question is
What platform did these "a men rep
resent by their votes?"
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1902-11-28

The st. Albans Messenger makes
a careful detailed analysis of the
vote of the House last Friday on the
question of substituting the Battell
bill for the majority license bill,
when "a representatives voted for sub
stitution and 146 stood by the ma
jority license bill This was the
test vote in the days discussion. The
purpose of The Messengers analy-
sis is to discover
First. What proportion of the
straight Republican vote of the state
the S4 Battell supporters represent
ed.
Second. What proportion of the
total vote of all parties in the state
they represented.
Third. Whether they actually car
ried out the instructions they received
from their constituents.
Under the first proposition the fig
ures show that the 81 towns whose
representatives voted for the Battell
bill cast 9,742 of the 81, ,S64 votes cast
for Mccullough and the straight Re-
publican party platform, or a frac-
ton under 81 per cent. of the total
straight Republican vote.
Under the second proposition the
figures show that these S4 towns to-
gether cast 16,252 votes out of the
total of $685. polled by the entire
state for governor last September
fraction over 23 per cent.
In determining the third PROPOSE
ton The Messenger says it is fair to
add the Mccullough and the Glenn
ent vote together, because the liquor
plank in the straight Republican plat
form and the Clement boiling plat
form were practically the same, both
calling for license local option law
to be passed by the legislature and
referred to the people. When the
votes are thus added it appears that
out of the total of 16,252 votes cast
by these "a towns, no less than 14,104
votes were for license-referendum
not for state-control-dispen ref
erendum. "And yet these "a men
voted for the Battell BILL" says The
Messenger.
The purpose of The Messenger, it
is hardly necessary to say. is to show
what appears to be clearly the fact
that it was the "a members, and not
the people they represented, who
failed to stand by the pledge of the
Republican platform, and that in do;
ing this these members did not rep

The Legislatures Adjournment.

After passing the high license liquor
bill last Friday, the legislature took
a recess until Tuesday, December I'd.
The story of the days proceedings,
one of the most important in the his
tory of the Vermont Legislature, is told
in our legislative summary. This
adjournment and the consequent pro-
longation of the session were made
necessary mainly by the fact that up
to the present time the interest in
the new liquor law has largely alb
sorbed the attention of both senators
and representatives. Consideration
of other important bills has been de-
layed by the fact that the 25 members
of the joint committee on temperance
which had the duty of formulating
duties in that committee from giving
their attention to other committee
work and the preparation of other leg
islation. The important measures
which remain for final attention are
the completion of the cattle commits
sion bill, the proposed caucus or di-
rect nominations law, the weekly
payment bill, the bill giving enlarged
powers to the railroad commission,
Mr.. Gales elections bill, which has
not seen acted on by the Senate, and
Mr.. Porter's bill increasing corpora
tion taxes. The bills to abolish CAPT
tai punishment and committing the
sentences of the three murderers,
Doherty, Eastwood and Shaw, also re-
main to be finally considered. The
adjournment until after Thanksgiv-
ing will Undoubtedly prove to be in the
interests of good and well-considered
legislation, as we'll as of economy of
expenditure in the end. 1t will re-
quire from one to two weeks to com
plete the work to be done.

its being to Joseph Hart and Carrie
DeMar who head the company
brought together by VIM. A. Brady
who has given the piece a big pro-
duction. Foxy Grandpa" is the
work of a hitherto untried and un-
known dramatist, II. Melville Baker,
and its inspiration was the series of
cartoons which have been amusing
the world for a year or two The
principal character, Goodelby Good
man, Foxy Grandpa" is a dear old
man who has more heart than world
ly wisdom, and whose love for his
grandsons and determination to
sacrifice himself for their amusement
and benefit forms the basis of the
story.
The plot is built up around the
complications resulting from a case
of mistaken identity, Signor Bolero,
a facial artist" having undertaken
to impersonate Foxy" for the amuse-
ment of a summer hotel party Boil
ero and Foxy" both become en-
tangled in the snares of the Signora
Colonus, a dashing Italian adventures
from whose clutches Foxy escapes
by a clever ruse.
Mr.. Brady has engaged a fine COM

When people are told the truth they
frequently are offended This seems
to be the trouble with the labor agi-
tators who were so greatly incensed
by the remarks made by President
Eliot of Harvard before the Economic
club in Boston. He criticised the
unions for the close Limitation on the
number of apprentices which should
be trained in shop, saying that
this action was an interference with
one of the most precious rights of
Americans, freedom of education for
any trade or profession that the
American youth wants to fit himself
for. President Eliot said the limiting
of the individual output of a laborer
fights against the principle of the
development of human nature" Con
tinulng on the same lines he said :
The doctrines of the labor unions do
not come up to the standards of hui
man nature. On the contrary, they
urge every individual to produce as
little as he can, and to get as much
money as he can for it." In ex-
planning his previous statement that
the "scab' is a very good type of a
hero President Eliot said Every
American instinct protests against
the. violent prevention of man sell.
ing his labor for what he chooses to
sell it, and that liberty needs to be
preserved and protected in our coun-
try:"

Duty No. 2.

The Burlington Free Press admonishes
the members of the legisla ature that, the
license liquor bill being out of the way,
the important duty of the legislature
which remains is to enact a law for the
government of our political primaries.
''The faith of the party is just as thor
oughly pledged to the enactment of a law
intended to ensure pure and truly repre-
sentative political primaries as to the pas
sage of a measure to enable the people
TO express their preference between pro-
hibition and local option and license; and
there is every reason why this pledge
should be observed"
Several bills on this subject are before
the legislature, but none of them seems
to have received mature or careful con-
sideration. Here is the plank of the Re
publican platform of 1892, containing the
pledge to be redeemed:
Resolved, that this convention recon.
mends and demands that the next legis-
lature enact a law regulating primaries
or caucuses, called for the purpose OF
putting in nomination candidates for the
various town, city, county and state offi-
ces, and to provide such rules and regu-
lations as shall safeguard the purity OF
nomination as well as of election; ano
also to provide adequate punishment fol
those violating the same

The fiscal year closed in New Jer-
sey Nov. 1st with 100000 surplus
in the state treasury. The law of
the state which makes the birth of
corporations easy is certainly a mon
ey maker. The pecuniary side is
one view of the picture, however. If
Vermont had set up an opposition
charter mill, as some of our statesmen
advocated, we should blush to read
the advertisements similar to those
which now come from South Dakota,
to this effect: This Beats New Jer.
sey-Charters procured under South
Dakota laws for few dollars" But
as the late Senator Mcmillan once
said, there are some things better
than money.

Suit Brought Against a Former Land

ouit DTou9nt against FORMER Land
lord of American House Who went
into Bankruptcy.
The Athol Transcript of this week
contains the following of local in
terest, Mr.. Reed, the defendant in
the case, having been proprietor of
the American House in Brattleboro
before going to Shelburne Falls:
The case of Miles l.. Mowry of
Greenfield, against Frank E. Reed
of Leominster, formerly of Athol,
which was on trial at Greenfield last
week, has excited much interest in
this town. The defendant has
many creditors here. The plaintiff
is trustee in bankruptcy, appointed
in the U. S. Circuit court, over the
estate of Frank E. Reed, formerly
of Athol, now of Leominster, and
sought to recover the sum of $500,
which 1t is claimed came. from the
estate of the bankrupt. Frank K.
Reed was the proprietor Of the Com
mercial House in Athol from some
time in 1897 to January, 1901, when
he transferred his property. in bank
ruptcy proceedings to the plaintiff.
1t appeared that Mr.. Reed had been
proprietor of the ShefbuTne Falls
house for many years prior to 1897;
that in 1899 Mrs. Reed owned house
in Shelburne Falls, and she claimed
that she sold this real estate. to the
plaintiff, and a bill of sale of the
furniture was taken in the. name of
Mr.. Reed. Later, through Mr.. Reeds
brother as intermediary, q bin of sale
of the furniture was made to Mrs.
Reed. The furniture was sold in
January, 1901, for $500, and the de-
fendant received the proceeds. The
plaintiff claims the moneysas the pro-
perty of F. E. Reed. The jury re-
turned verdict for $4,000 for the
plaintiff. Greene & Davenport for
plaintiff; Dana Malone for defend
