THE POST CHECK PLAN,

The average business man of Burlinc-
Son would be lost were he to be deprived
pf the banking facilities which the COM
tnunlty enjoys; but there are a host OF
places, particularly in rural sections.
which have no banking accommodations
whatever. The post check would afford
safe and cheap method of sending money
through the mails. and one that would
be thoroughly appreciated in all rural
communities
The necessity for the passage of a
measure providing for such a check sys-
TEN is all the greater in view of the rapid
extension OF the rural free delivery sys-
tenn, and it was on this ground chiefly
that Postmaster General Payne based
the recommendations of this plan en-
bodied in his annual report.
The bill providing for the issue of post
check currency would obviate all the an
noyanccs and the difficulties attendant
on the present system of transmitting
money through the mails. The dweller
In the rural district, equally with the
dweller in the city, would have a CHEAP
and convenient means of sending money
through the mails absolutely safe and
avoiding all question of torn or mutilated
bills or stamps stuck to the letter in
which they were placed for transmission
as the equivalent Of money.
The post check would possess all the
circulating and value qualities Of the
present system of bank notes. and by its
retirement on presentation at any post-
Office for payment and the issue of an
other IN Its stead would maintain a con-
slant supply of clean money, and would
make every man his own money order
Office with no outlay of time required on
his part. The bill is one of the greatest
possible merit and it ought to pass

uated on the selection of the Hon. II. II.
Powers for the Craftsmanship of the con-
vcntion. Judge Powers will not only
make an efficient and dignined prcsd-
ing officer but he may also be depended
upon to deliver an address which will
stir the delegates. The Vermont rcpub-
leans are also fortunate in being able to
secure the assurance of the presence of so
brilliant a public speaker and so well
Known republican leader as United
States Senator Foraker of Ohio. Senator
Foraker, who is well known to stand close
to the Roosevelt administration. will be
in a position to speak with some show of
authority on the national issues to be
made prominent by the party. and he will
also inspire his auditors by his cloduence.
An unusual degree of interest in the ma
tional campaign is all eady manifest in
Vermont. Republican leaders are saying
that Vermont wants for governor the
man who while able TO give the State
the most efficient and most satisfac-
tory administration. can roll up the
largest ma jority at the polls In September.
If any reader can pick out the man who
best fills that bill, it will be pretty safe
to say that man will be the next governor

"SWEETNESs AND LIGHT"

The Boston Herald INDUCES in this
Saccharine pleasantly:
''Vermont promises a record breaking
crop or maple sugar. but the glucose trust
heed not despair. The Jersey bees have
eI been frozen to death, and a honey
ohortage Is assured"
1t requires tremendous stretch OF the
imagination to picture tho glucose trust.
ALIAS the American Sugar Refining com
pany. as disturbed by either a shortage or
surplus In the Vermont maple sugar
harvest. The aggregate output Of this
Green Mountain sweetness is so indnitos-
lmal as compared with the entire SUGAR
product, cane and beet, as to be be far
less than the traditional drop in the
bucket.
Moreover a shortage in the crop Of GEN
uine Vermont maple never appears to
make any appreciable difference in the
quantity Of alleged Vermont maple sugar
In the markets OF the larger cities. Sen
htor Redheld Proctor in his recent address,
before the maple sugar makers of Yer
mont at their meeting in Burlington, drew
an interesting word picture Of his tryin,,
experience in seeking to secure bottled
maple syrup in Washington, which would
have been laughable in the extreme had
the subject been less serious for the
farmers of Vermont.
However, it is believed that CONGRESS
Is about to pass the pure food bill, in

IN the West and South may enjoy the
privilege Of tasting their first genuine

uuired or annexed by the United States.
Strictly speaking. this question can be
answered In the negative. 1t is not prob
able that we shall annex San Domingo
any more than we annexed Cuba.
At the same time there is no evident
reason why one should disguise the fact
that in the near future the United States
will undoubtedly acquire an influence in
connection with the government of San
Domingo not wholly ulike that we have
exercised in relation to the government
of Cuba. Revolution has succeeded revol.
ution with such startling rapidity III that
so-called republic that existence there
has become something. of a burden for
citizens of foreign countries. The de-
struction of the property OF such resi-
dents is constantly threatening to in
volve this country in controversy with
various European powers over the Mon
roe doctrine; and inasmuch as the people
Of San Domingo are relying upon the
United States to save them from tho
penalty of their international offences,
there is no good reason why our gov
ernmort should not have the right to in
sist that they shall at least keep tho
peace. To get a step further If the peo-
plo and the government of that republic
fail or refuse to preserve tho peace after
repeated warnings. there Is no good ar
snmcn. why we should not assume the
full responsibility which devolvcs on us
through the operations of the Monroe
ala I'll an ,ttptf In Lch IA
selves
tut we have additional color of excuse
for shaping the international rola tons
OF san Domingo. Representatives of the
Morales government which was in au-
thorty at last accounts have come to
this country and urged President Roose-
welt and Secretary Hay to help establish
government, which will have some
stability. 1nasmuch as there are said
to be 10 less than five contosting parties
on tina. par. of the island of Hayti at
the present time 1t is evident that it is
no small task for any influence to bring
about restorat ton of peace. Unlike
Hayti the republic of San Domingo is
ruled by the white class who speak
Spanish and some of them are naturally
not in full sympathy with American ideas
OF government.
Tie time will surely come when tho
United states government Will at
least insist that it he given 4 voice
in shaping the international re-
lations of San Domingo; and if
at any time n majority of the voters Of
that republic petition the United States
for anne xation to this country. does any
ono know any good reason why the petition
Should not b. granted? IND D., these cir
cunstanccs why should we lot annex
san Domingo just as readily as We an

OIL AND WATER DO NOT MIX.

10 say that Cleveland and Bryan can
not get together, has Income almost as
much of an axiom as to say that oil ana
water VIII not mix, This condition of af-
FAIRS is rendered ominous for the demo-
cratic Organization for a variety of roa-
sons. In the first place. neither Mr. Clove-
land nor Mr.. Bryan Will withdraw from
MS S'lf-appoiutcd position of leader of his
particular wing Of the party Cleveland
evidently has an ovcrwocning desire to
continue to pose as the oracle of his party,
II indeed he is not inspired by an actual
desire to again become the standard bear
or Of the democracy. 1t is recognized
generally that powerful influences are
striving to force his domination, and he is
evidently not dislnclincd 20 listen to siren
voices that would lure him from the ex-
presidency
Hryan on the other hand would clearly
rather not be right than to get entirely
out of reach of the presidential lightning
If he can not secure the nomination for
himself then lie desires to become his
party's Warwick, and be in a position To
enjoy the prestige ana the emolumcnts
Of the power behind the executive chair.
There is little danger to the republicans,
therefore. that Bryan will subslde.
Now some Of our democratic friends rec
ognize the fact that so long as Cleveland
and Bryan continue to rule their rcspcc-
tive wings Of the party. the democracy
may as well hang up its presidential fiddle
At present however. no tangible means of
dispensing with the services of either die
tator has presented itself, and the repub-
leans are just perverse enough not to
suggest any remedy for the situation.

BREWERIES AND LICENSE CAM
pAIGNS,

In discussing the preparations for the
coming annual contest whether the sale
Of Intoxicating liquor as a beverage shall
be licensed in the respective towns in
Vermont, the Rutland News said:
ii is stated on what seems to be excel
lent authority that one brewing company
Will put n thousand dollars into the clcc-
ton in this city to continue the license
policy. Whether or not this particular
amount is overstated., is it certain that
the liquor interests who have found this
city such Il profitable field of operations
Will cXpend for educational purposes"
large amount in the aggregate to keep
1t in the license list. From present APP
pearances it bids fair to be n harvest
time for the 'two-dollar voters" We be-
lievc that the number of citizens who
hold their franchise at n price to be very
limited in Rutland. a corruption fund
ought not to have an apprcciable effect
on the voting.
This statement is SO Numerically OPP
posed to the idea assduousy propagatcd
during the referendum campaign to the
reality engaged in temperance crusade
in Vermont as indicated by the cheer
ing of the paid agents when the local
option movement was thus characterized
by campaign speakers as to evoke pro-
test from license advocates. For example
the Montpelier Argus says:
1t is time this story was either proved
or abandoned. 1t has cone service for
c',s ever! 'iine IL was proposed 70 re-
peal the prohibitory law, it was wor.ol
