The death Of the Rev. DR.. Joseph Park
err, the famous London divine, removes
one of the foremost preachers of the
present age. For thirty years he had been
minister of the City Temple, and al
though he received pressing as well as
nattering Invitations to other fields he
preferred to minister to his chosen people
The last Of the celebrated trio of London
preachers made up of DR.. Newman Hall
and Dr.. Sturgeon and DR.. Parker, has
now passed away, and il will bother the
average American to think who is likely
to succeed to the vacancy in paramount
popular favor among the pulpits of the
British metropolis.

o the Editor of The Free Press:

TO the Editor of The Free Press:
The Burlington News remarks: For
30 years the small towns and their repre-
sentatives have been the bulwark of the
prohbitory law
Ought they not now to repudiate with
horror and Scorn the offer of money de-
rived from the infamous traffic in intox-
icating liquor, from the colossal crime
of crimes.
"Of course they ought to repudiate it log
ically.
But as a matter of fact we find them
tumbling all over themselves in their
haste to get the biggest possible share OF
the proceeds. They are opposed to license
on principle. because it is an alliance with
the Prince of Darkness, but they want
three quarters of the spoils." Rutland
Herald. Thanksgiving day.
Certainly. And why should the larger
towns and cities object. If they are hon
estly seeking to promote the cause of
real temperance?
If this high license-local option bill be
such a sine qua non to our statutes, of
what essential service can a presumably
vanishing revenue be to those who are
not bent solely on getting the loaves and
fishes! Yours truly.

which he lived and died, was not occupied
by him until four years after the close
of the War of the Revolution. 1t has

The Epidemic in Vermont.

1t has now been demonstrated beyond
the possibility of question that there was
good ground for the establishing or
stock in Vermont 10 suard against the
spread of the foot and mouth disease. The
cattle commissioners have been actively
investigating the situation since the sec
rotary of the national department OF agri-
culture took action and although the
work has only fairly begun the existence
of the disease has been discovered among
half a dozen or so herds in the vicinity of
Chester, which have been quarantined !;
and the commissioners were at last ac-
counts continuing their search in other
sections.
In this emergency a remarkable sit
uation presents itself to the people of
Vermont. The term Of office of the pres
cnt cattle commissioners expired Monday
and until the Legislature takes some
action their places will not be filled, so
that the work of official investigation in
relation to this dreaded disease can not
be prosecuted further at this time,
At the beginning of the present ses-
sion, 1t was freely threatened that the
board of cattle commissioners would be
abolished altogether. Later. however. a
feeling grew that the State should have
such a body, but that the duties of its
members should be carefully restricted.
When the Legislature adjourned for the
Thanksgiving recess the two houses had
not agreed upon a measure in relation to
houses had taken action in relation to
the matter of bovine tuberculosis. but 1t

der these circumstances Governor McCul-
Tough could not very well appoint cattle
commissioners. and he can not dt so
without appointing under the present law
with the understanding that the Legisla-
ture may abolish the board thus created
when II passes a new bill which would be
awkward. to say the least.
The chances are that the Legislature
will take up this matter as soon as pos
sible and by dsposing of the question of
a cattle commission make IT possible for
the governor to act both finally and in
diligently in the light of the desire Of the
people as reflected by their Ierres nta-
t'ves
Nothing could more conclusively demon
strate our need Of a cattle commission,
than the appearance of this disease among
certain herds in Vermont. 1t is for the
direct interest of every dairyman and
every cattle grower to prevent the spread
of this disease throughout the State.
There is no way in which the owners OF
cattle afflicted with this epidemic can secure
rccompcnse from the State for any loss
resulting tnereiroH1, as III tne Case VI po-
vine tuberculosis under our existing law
and the damage to our farming interests
from the sweeping of this disease over the
State would be enormous. There are other
diseases which are liable to become cpl
demic among live stock. Only by taking
vigorous measures to prevent the shipping
of cattle and other animals from one Sec
ton to another can an epidemic Of this
character be stamped out, and we must
have officers to enforce regulations for the
protection Of the interests of both the pub.
