on the page Of Vermont history that it
is not necessary to Iarticularize, ANA the

meets with a cool reception at tie hands
Of the people.
1t is generally recognized that the strUg

Two or three of the newspapers that
supported Gen. Grout in that campaign
have apparently determined to ignore long
established precedent, and have spared no
opportunity to attempt IN The most sneak

Object Lesson for Vermont Farmesr.

The danger that farmers VII depend too
largely upon the purchase Of grain or
ground feed for their stock instead Of
raising the same, to which we have occa-
sionally referred, is being emphasized the
present winter. We have found pardon
able pride in the great wheat and corn
fields Of our boundless West and the farm
those fields TO a remarkable degree for the
corn and other grain which We're formerly
produced in considerable Quantities in
vermont a. well as in other states in the
Atlantic region. Now, however, the coun-
try is compelled to look beyond its own
borders for a portion Of this upIly,
It is stated that owing to the eXtraor-
oingiily high prices Of feed now prevail
ing in the United states as a result IF thu

OF Vermont will be able to compete with
the farmers of the West i'm the production
of cereals for market, but it would be
found profitable for the average farmer to
produce each year a sufficient supply of
grain to keep his stock, as there can gen
orally be found on the farm piece Of
meadow on which the grass has run out
so that the yield will be below the aver
age and which should therefore be de-
voted to some grain crop. AS a rule that
farmer will flourish best who makes lis
farm supply it's own necessities to the
greatest degree and thus avoids paying
out money for the products of other
farms.

THE GOVERNOR QUESTION IN RUT-

From DAD RutIand NewsD

There has been very little open interts st

From the claims made by the local par
tiSans of either. the reason iul TINS Is De
neved to hc that Rutland is Strded by
both as doubtful territory. L!ther cam
didate will secure advantage here only
after a terrific night The two declared
candidates. DR. Webb and Gen. NJ Cui-
louch. are referred to. Furthe.mor

Or Webbs status in the hGht they per
sistently regard him as candidate 20

that Webb. having made the contest /.
u. Proctor of Proctor, the 1avorite SO
Of Rutland county, will be sprung INTO
the contest as a man "all a. Nermont"T
and he will bear away the palm from both
of the active candidates. So the local
situation is interesting
The opinion, however. Is general among
the leading workers of the party in This
vicinity that Fletcher y. Proctor viii not
actively enter the contest, ami that tho
fghI for the republican nomination for
governor will be between Cen j. q. NJ
Iullough of North bennington and Or.
w Seward Webb OF Shclburno.
Many reasons are being advanced why
General Mccullough should be the mex,
governor and the same thing Is true q
Dr. Webb.
For the former it is argued that he has
been longer a resident of the state than
has his rival and is more Of a Nermonter:
that he has had far more eNperi,rc, Iu
public matters and is better adapted 10
the performance of the duties of the Office
which he seeks. And the personal popular
lty of the general viii stand him In good
stead for he is the stamp of man that
Nermontors admire ana love to honor.
DR. Webb, ou the other hand is q man
with whom the people do not feel at all
acquainted All they have seen of him
has been his private car Ellsmere, hyn-
through the city from New No, to Shell
burnc, or from Shelburne to New York,
at occasional intervals.
What little they do know of him, ncv-
erthelcss. is decidedly in his favor.
1t is pointed out by many that DR..
Webb has done a great deal for that part
Of Vermont in which he resides, and that
as governor he would do a great deal for
the entire state in many ways. that he
has great wealth and influence. and. ju lr-
ing by his actions in the past, would us.

An Important Liquor Decision

The Supreme Court of Maine has just
handed down decision in a case brought
to recover damages on account of the
sale Of liquor, which will have particular
interest for the people Of Vermont. The
action was brought last April by Mrs. Ida
Campbell of Lisbon Falls against Horace
and Reuben Harmon of the same place
and it was tried in the Androscoggin
county court The plaintiff sought to re-
cover damages from the defendants on
account of the sale of liquor to her hus-
band by one of them in a building owned
hy the other defendant, the action hav-
ing been based on the Maine statute which
provides that every wife child parent.
guardian, husband or otner person. who
Is injured by an intoxicated person, or
by reason of the intoXication of any per-
son, has a right of action against the pr
son who sold the intoxicating liquor TO
the person intoxicated and against The
owner of the building in which the liquor
was sold, provided the latter had knoWl-
edge that liquor was sold on the premises.
The court holds that where in any ac-
ton undcr the statute in question the sell
or of intoxicating liquor and the owner
Of the building are joined as defendants,
and "A wiful and wanton violation Of the
law is shown ON the part Of both, the
jury may in the exercise OF sound dis
erection, award exemplary damages, not
as matter Of right on the plaintiff 5 part
but as protection to the public and an
example to the wrongdoor. This Is said
to he the first time for many years that
this statute has been invoked, and the
