SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARY
COMMISSION WANTED.


The st. Adams Messenger, which has
been considered high license paper,
takes the same ground as the Caledonian
and calls for voluntary commission,
say of 80 men. to meet through the sum-
mer and frame liquor law that the next
legislature can adopt. The Messenger Is
opposed to the open saloon and says,
"no thoughtful VermOnter will vote for
a new law that gives promise even re-
motely of planting open saloons on every
corner or of in any way encouraging the
sale of liquor" This is very different
from the reasoning of the high license
advocates and we are pleased to see that
several of our exchanges are uniting up
on this common ground. OF the details
of such a commission the Messenger ex-
plains as follows:
We would be glad to see voluntary
commission formed among such men, say
a committee of fifty, chosen from among
representative citizens In all parts of the
state, rejecting all shades of opinion on
the subject, for the purpose Of undertake
ing a systematic study of the situation
and its needs and of framing bill to be
introduced in the next general assembly.
Such commission could organize at
some central point, employ competent
legal advice, take testimony as to the real
inwardness of the practical, every day
operation of the present law, its strength
and its weaknesses, consult the liquor
laws of the various states and foreign
countries and inform itself upon the gen.
eral results of their operation, and event.
ually agree upon the fundamentals of a
new law that the lawyers could whip in
to shape to bring before the legislature.
| Then the committee could personally APP
pear before the general assembly or its
committee and explain the details of the
bill and the various reasons that led them
to shape its provisions as they did,-St.
Johnsbury Caledonian,

pERsIsTENTLY MIsREpREsENTED.

PERSISTENTLY MISREPRESENTED.
It Is beyond understanding how many
errors are made with persistency by news
papers and speakers when discussing
the Vermont prohibitory law. And these
errors are made by papers and people
who should know better. Here comes
the New York Sun for example, a news
paper which is usually very accurate,
and it makes a serious error in an extend
ed editorial printed Monday on the sub
ject. 1t repeats the very common mis-
statement made in respect to notifies. 1t
says that anyone who may prosecute in
a case of violation of the Vermont pro-
hibltory law ais entitled to one-half the
fine collected provision which, it is
claimed, has created in Vermont class
of spies whose livelihood is derived not
by efforts to stamp out or prevent the
sale Of liquors surreptitiously but rather
by promoting its sale This provision
of the old prohibitory law was entirely
repealed few years ago and it is abso-
lutely inexcusabe IN Informed people
and newspapers to persist III including 1t
in the indictment against the present
law IN force In this state. The opponents
of the law would have more influence and
merit more respect if they would stick to
facts in their discussions Dali

Secretary and Mrs. Leslie NJ. Shaw
with their family, left Washington, D..
c., Monday night for Vermont, where
they will pass the summer at Thompson's
Point, having rented the beautiful Rob-
erts cottage, occupied two years ago by
Mr.. and Mrs. E. p. Cushman and family.
Mr.. Shaw is native of Morristown,
having been born in little log cabin on
a farm in the west part of that town.
His father early moved to Stowe where
young Shaw grew to sturdy manhood.
He was educated in the common schools
of Stowe and the Peoples Academy at
Morrisville and then went west to Iowa

WET WEATHER CROPS
Some Timely suggestions From the stat
Experiment Station.

Some Timely suggestions From the state
Experiment Station.
The continued unreasonable weather
threatens many Vermont dairymen with
partial failure of the corn crop, and
many are querying what they may do to
provide a sufficient supply of forage for
their cows during the coming winter. 1t
is now too late to plant corn in most
portions of the state with much hope of
maturing it. If some small variety of
Canada corn be planted on exceptionally
early pieces, and if frosts hold off late in
the fall, success may be attained. The
chances are, however, against rather than
in favor of late planting on the generality
of farms.
As make-shifts in this contingency the
experiment station advises that corn be
sown thickly, broadcast, with view of
haying IL; or that mlllet, either the Hun
garian or japanese varieties, be grown.
The sowing of corn for hay is not an
uncommon practice in the Northwest.
Corn hay makes very nutritious and well
rellshed forage, and considerable
amount of digestible food may be grown
in this way. The curing of corn hay is
somewhat difficult but not impossible in
the sunny days of late August and early
'CPtOAoCl'
The millets are well known plants
which make quick, rank growth of
fairly nutyitious forage. They may be
either put In the silo, hayed or fed
green. AS rule, however, millet silage
is not a success. There are few farms in
Vermont where Hungarian or Japanese
millet may not be sown and brought TO
the proper stage for haying in 60, or, at
the most 20 DAYS Millet should be cut
before the seeds begin to harden and be-
fore the stalks begin to get woody,
When the plant reaches this stage of its
growth the hay is unpalatable and
yields poor returns. About half bushel
of seed may be used to the acre.
1t should be said once more that these
procedures are simply make-shifts and
unsatisfactory as compared with corn
grown in normal year. Many Vermont
farmers, however, are up against hard
proposition this year, and cannot do as
well as II nature had favored them.

Lincoln, whom he resembles in many
