IMPORTANCE OF VERMONT'S WEIR
DICT.

Tho attention which Is being devoted to
the campaign in Vermont by the repub-
Leans Of other States is evidently
troubling some of the champions of de-
mocracy, and they arc particularly dis
turbcd by the announcement that some of
the foremost republican orators in the
country are to make their voices heard
during til" progress Of the canvass in the
Green Mountain state. Tho Springfield
Republican, for example says that "it
seems absurd for the republicans to send
their star campaieners into Vermont
Speaker Cannon, Candidate Fairbanks,
Senator Spoonor, and so on-hut such is
the programme talked of. Vermont votes
early. and the republicans crave a big
showing there so that it can be pointed to
as the drift
In the first place there Is nothing straugn
about the appearance in Vermont of lead
ing republican campaign speakers from
other States. even though they may have
contests OF their own. The stress of the
campaign in this state comes during the
month OF August and the first few days
OF September. whereas in most OF the 9th
or States whose republican residents are
to be represented within our borders dur
ing the canvass State elections are held
coincdent with the national election IN
November. and the bulk OF their cam
pagn speaking will naturally be done dur
ing September and October. There is no
good reason, therefore, why some of the
republicans prominent in both branches OF
Congress should not accept the invitation
of their colleagues from Vermont and
thus afford our citizens the opportunity
to listen to men from other States who
have won national reputation in congress
sional debate.
1t is true that Vermont is as firmly re-
publican as her rugged hills, and that
without the raising of a single political
voice or the stroke of single editorial pen
the electoral vote of the Green mountain
state would be assured for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks. 1t is was ever absurd for re-
publcans to endeavor to roll up large
majority in Vermont in presidential years
however, that course long ago ceased to
deserve that characterization.
it has come TO have all the force of a
political axiom that when the republican
majority in Vermont in September suffers
"a marked reduction from the average ma
jority given to our republican candidate
in presidential years. the democrats sweep
the country; and that when our majority
reaches or exceeds the average majority
for governor republican success in the ma
tonal election has followed.
No reasonable person would have the
hardihood to assume that ono result
named follows the other in the relation Of

BIG CAMPAIGN IN CHiTrENDEN
cot NTI.

Unless all signs fail the republican cam
paign in Chittcnden county will bc equal
to the spirited canvass made in support of
General Harrison, one Of the features OF
which was the great rally in Burlinston
with the lamentcd Mckinley tho chief
orator. Mr. Homer L. Wright, State com
mittecnan for this county, was In the city
Thursday in consultation with Congress
man u. J. Foster and other republican
leaders, and plans were formulated for the
campaign. which will begin in the carly
future.
Congressman Foster has received word
that Speaker Cannon of Illinois Will he in
this city on Friday, August T. and the ap
pcarancc of tho distinguished statesman
viii he made tho occasion of the greatest
rally to he held IN Vermont. Congressman
I.ittleticld Of Maine, one of the most elo-
qucnt orators in the national House of
Representatives, will deliver an address
on this occasion, and speeches will he
made also by United States Senators Proc
tor and Dillingham;. 1t is expected that
Congressman Foster will preside
This will be an outdoor meeting. that
there Will be room for all who desire to
enjoy the opportunity to hear these distin-
guishcd speakers; and in the event Of rain
the opera house and other audtoriums will
bc secured so that the people can be adj
dressed by these different speakers in
succession, giving all a chance to hear
them speak. Excursion trains will be run
IN the different railroads and every prep
aration made for an immense attendance
Speaker Cannon is to be the guest of
senator Proctor while in Vermont and on
the Monday following his appearance in
burlington he will deliver a political adj
dress at rally to he held in Brattleboro
In this connection we can say that big
republican rally is being arranged at St
Johnsbury carly in August at which it is
expected United States Senator Spooner of
Wisconsin will be the chief speaker, al
though the details OF the meeting have
not vet been completed.
In addition to the meeting in Buring-
ton at which Speaker Cannon and Con-
gresham Littlchcld are to speak, polti-
cal meetings arc to be held in various
other parts of the county, so that no part
" this important field viii be neglected.
Tho services Of A. J. Markham, the FAM
ous campaign singer. now a resident of
burlington are to bc secured. The re
publican clubs to be formed in every town
will participate in as many rallies as pos
sihle, and altogether the campaign in
Chittondon county will be such as to set

VERMONT CLAIMS SETTLED.

The treasury OF the state OF Vermont is
about to be enriched by the sum of sl5l, 4,3
from Uncle Sans pocket. The amount is
in settlement of the mutual claims of the
United States against Vermont for ord
nance furnished the state and sold by il to
outside persons. and of Vermont against
the United States, for clothing and other
military supplies furnished by the State
to its extraordinary militia" in 1864 and
lsij The amounts involved in the ac-
counts are found to offset each other, so
that there now remains due to the State
$50, i53. which is the interest paid by tho
State on it's bonds issued to aid the United
states in the Civil War. a warrant in
favor of the State will be- issued for this
amount.
During the fiscal year which ended June
30, 1903 the State received from the United
States 1926, 900 on account of these claims,
the balance which the State claimed be-
ing held up by the Washington author
ties. Senator Proctor introduced a bill in
the Senate authorizing the controller of
the currency to settle tho claims. The
bill passed both branches of Congress and
the final settlement of the account now

1900 was 3o2 per cent, while the whites
in tho same area had death rate of 17.3;
in other words, the death rate among
the negroes was nearly twice as great as
among the white inhabitants. and this
proportion presumably holds in the other
registration areas.
An exceedingly interesting fact brought
out by the bulletin is the gradual trend
southwcstward of the negro population.
the United States was little south OF

northwestern Georgia, while by the last
census the centre had shifted southward
across the border of Alabama Tho ten

the South Atlantic and South Central
States, Is westward rather than south

lation appears to he southwark rather
than westward, indicating perhaps ten
dency toward greater separation Of the
two races. A gratifying indication Is the
decrease in illiteracy among the blacks.

THE NEGRO IN THE UNITED
STATES,

The United States census bureau has
issued an important bulletin. giving in
tcrcsting and valuable statistics relating
to the colorcd population OF our country.
The blacks in the United States proper,
not including our insular possessions, in
1910 were s,s23,ts'4 showing a gain in mum
hers over the previous census of 1.3i5,000
The percentage OF gain for two decades
shows growth in tho negro population
against n growth Of white population
during the same period of $50 per cent
The increase in the colored population of
the United states during tho entire nine
teenth century was IN periods of twenty
years 7G.S, 62,2, SIC, 49, and 22, respec-
crease in white population was, respec-
lively, SCI, S05. S9.7, 61.: and 1919 per cent
1t thus appears that, while both the
white and the negro population of the
United States tends to increase at a
gradually slower rate tho decrease on
more marked than in the case OF the
white Inhabitants, one reason for this
being the large accessons which the
white population gains each year by i'm
migration. Besides gaining nothing of
any account by immigration, the negroes
suffer from a high death rate. Returns

tanning about one-eighth of the negro
population and two-hfths OF the white
population OF continental United States,
show that the death rate OF negroes in

THE PICNIC RALLY.

one of the characteristic features Of
the republican campaign in Vermont this
year promises to be the picnic rally, which
was inauSuratcd so successfully mt "rhe
Belfry,' the home of the Hon. Charles
j. Boil. The idea of making the picnic
rally feature Of the canvass in the
Green Mountain State is appealing to the
press as well as to the campaign man
ayers. as the following editorial para
graph taken from the columns of the
Morrisvllo News and Citizen will Indicate:
THE Montpelier Waterman suggests
that inasmuch as the big picnic at Wal
den was such a grand success it would
be well to try the picnic idea in he CAM
paign this year We believe the susges-
ton is a good one and have no doubt
that a grand picnic rally in each county
would stir up considerable enthusiasm
We would like to see one in I.amoille
county, say on the old camp ground
We have lots OF home talent several
good bands, and we could have an old
fashioned rally for Roosevelt and Fair
banks and Bell ami Stearns. Let's have
it by all means.
There are numerous advantages 20 he
gained from the holding of picnic rallies.
In the first place a political gathering
of this kind can be located without ref
"renco TO Il largo town. to which most
meetings of this Kind are ordinarily as
signed in order to secure a large hail.
In the second place tho picnic rally can
be held IN Il grove which viii j,rosrnt
striking contrast to the stuffv hall and
all the conditions will be attractive for
spectators rather than forbiddimg. In
the thltd place, and perhaps more i'm
pcrtant than any other consideration. our
farmers can bundle their whole familio,
INTO capacious wagons, and give them a
holiday, thus enabling the members Of
the family to become Interested in the
canvass, and the issues of the campaign
will thus he discussed at home. with the
result that the wifi" and children will hot
be likely to allow the husband and father
to stay away from the polls on election
day. There are not a few residents OF
the larger towns who will gladly take
advantage of this opportunity for an out
ing to be enjoyed in connection with poii-
teal hustiugs
Let us have picnic rallies by all means
ana the more the merrer well ds the
more votes in September.

WHAT HAPPENS TO A CHINESE
BABY,

On the evening Of the first day Ift,r tho
baby has arrived the patorfamilias. ac-
cOrding to the Chinese custom, pr1Stratcs
himself before a JOSS, and touching his
head to the floor, voices thanks TO the
gods and II the honorable ancestors tor
the small son who WAS sent pcrr,.t Of
body and fun OF health. On the evening
OF the second day the ceremony is le-
peated. and on the third day tho voice
OF the wife joins that of the husband IN
thanksgiving, Also ON the third day a
limited number of relatives and friends
are called in to witness the first head
shave. Tho rooms OF the home arc DC
oorated for this occasion with green
branches of either fir cedar, or spruce
to ensure fueng-suey or good luck to
the house Other recommendations in honor
OF the baby are long silk threads. bearing
little circles, squares, and hearts of gold
and scarlet paper These are testooncd
from the walls and are hung from the
ceiling. \ few feet away the threads
are invisible and the say scraps of paper
appear to bc floating in the air For the
head shaving tho guests are seated in n
scmi-crcle before the joss. The mother
is carried t. seat of honor to the right
of the joss, and the baby, swathod in
yards of scarlet and purple silk. is
brought IN on an elaborate pillow The
eldest child, or nearest relative, carries
a green branch, crossed with threads of
scarlet paper and waves it slowly over
the head Of the baby. This wards off evil
influences and insuIos good health. After
a quaint ceremony by the father before
the joss the tiny forehead of the baby Is
shaved by the mother. and "A christening
similar to that of the Christian :Nlisiln-
except that the prayer is made 20 the
ancestors and the water used to sprinkle
the baby is pcrtumed with sandalwood-
is a part of the ceremony
The name by which The child Is after
ward known is also bestowed by the
mother. After the shaving OF the head,
a cap of scarlet silk with decorations OF
gold and jewels, and with a tiny round
hole in the top, is placed upon the baby S
head and the christening is completed,
In every Chinese family. however poor,
At least one banquet is given in honor
of the birth of the boy The banquet
vands may be only rice and a bit of
salt fish; nevertheless, the feast is gwen,
for il Is bahy's right; and the rights OF
babies are respected by Oriental parents.
