WHAT is THE MATTER?
Opportunity Vermont Farmers Have
If They Only Knew.

Editor of The Reformer
Seeing the communication OF ME-
George NJ Moore in your paper l am
induced to add my mite and give you
a few pointers in regard to the
American farmers who are leaVlis
this country by the thousands tor
Canada.
left the states for that promised land:
in 1901 the number increased to 49,
600: 1902 to $4,000; and in 1908 10
44.9S0, a total of 105,771 leaving the
so-called most prosperous country III
the world for Canada, in four years.
The vast majority of these lmmi-
grants have settled in the province
of Manitoba which lies just north
of the states of Minnesota and North
Dakota. They have gone because OF
the many advantages there oifereu
mainly in the way of taxation, TOT
several years. All cereals, flour ana
stock, the produce of the farm OF
field, all houses, barns, fences, I'M
plements, draining or other improve"
ments added to the land, all house,
hold effects. furniture, books and
wearing apparel of every KIND nave
ali been free from taxation.
All lands improved for farming ana
gardening purposes are taxed only on
their unimproved or prairie value
which amounts to an average OF about
$40 a wear on quarter section. mat IS
all the tax the farmer has to pay. IN
the city of winnipeg, the capital OF
the province, all personal property Is
exempted from taxation.
The American farmer is leaving the
states where every thing is taxed, for
his new home where he has so much
greater advantage. What an exam
plel And how much it would mean
for Vermont if the farmers VINO con
troll our state and make our laws only
knew! Why, sir, in your county OF
Windham there are fewer people by
more than 1000 than you had IN
1890. consequently farms are not
worth as much to-day as they were
worth "a years ago. 1t had marvel
Gus growth from 1890 to 1900 OF 53
souls in that full period of ten years
and of the % towns constituting your
county. only six gained anything
while II lost in population.
One is inclined to ask, What is the
matter with Windham? But that
won't do, for the same difficulty or
rather disease, affects the whole state.
The farmers who represent only 10
per cent of the population OF thls
state. very small minority, have an
opportunity such as no other state
in the union affords, if they only
knew. Edgar - Moore'

BUTLER AS ENERGY PRODUCER.
Well known CycIist Furnishing Data
for Wesleyan Professor.

Nat Butler, the well-known bicy-
clist, is spending a part OF each day
this week in Prof. w o. Atwaters
calorimeter at wesleyan university
furnishing data to test the efficiency
of a man as an energy producer For
period of about nine hours each
day Butler pedals stationary blcy-
Gle. the tire of whose rear wheel
passes between two electro magnets.
The magnets are connected with
DYNAMO and in this way all of the
energy transmitted to the pedals is
converted into a current of electricity
AS this current can be measured. the
exact amount of power employed may
be ascertained.
As a result of the experiments
which are now being carried on it has
been found that man is a much bet
ter machine than a locomotive, yield
ing nearly twice as much power for
given amount of fuel. No kind of en-
CINE ever contrived-steam, gasoline
or electric-is equal to him as pro-
Queer of energy. The most economical
engine to-day utilities, in the shape of
work only about 10 per cent of the
energy contained in the fuel supplied
to it. Previous experiments carried
on have shown that Butler uses about
~ per ttiiNs NililohN "AhNb 49,
required to keep the internal mech
anism of his body going. If the power
to keep the heartbeat going and the
digestive apparatus in operation were
reckoned in, it would be found that
something over 20 per cent of the en-
ergy is utilized by a man like Butler,
Nor do mechanical engines, though
built of the best obtainable materials,
run for anything like so long a period
without wearing out, requiring in the
same time so small an expenditure
for repairs
Butler thinks that this time he is
going to break his former record as
an energy producer. During a pre-
vious experiment the wheel Of his BIZ
cycle averaged about SO revolutions
per minute. while this time he has
thus far kept up an average of So rev
oIutions per minute. which Will give
him a still better record as an energy
manufacturer. While performing this
experiment he Is confining himself to
a diet Of chops. steak. milk and eggs.
The experiment began on Monday
and viii probably be brought TO
close tomorrow.

WORCESTER TECH DEFEATED.
Independents Win an Exceedingly
Fast Game,

Re-enforced and rejuvenated by
Boutwell,, who has been coaching the
team lately, the Brattleboro lndepend-
ents played high temperature basket
ball Saturday evening and won from
the Worcester Polytechnic institute
In very exciting game. II was the
best contest that has been seen ~
town this season and kept the spec
tators continually on edge. The first
half was nip and tuck from start to
finish, the teams nj no time being
more than two points apart When
the whistle blew the score was 10 20
Is. In the second period Brattlehoro
Jumped away from the collegians I'M
mediately and soon had n command
ing lead which was increased unlll
the end Of the game when the score
stood 40 to 81.
The passing and speed OF the
Brattleboro team was unusually
good. and was due In no small part
to the presence of Boutwell,. who
helped materially In the team work,
shot well and made excellent use oil
the one hand dribble which Is allow
able under this years rules. But ne
seemed to forget that he was play
ing guard and left his man, Butter
field, so frequently uncovered that
the hitter scored II baskets. Ellis
and Mprch both made a number OF
spectacular shots, but the former
drew the biggest hand when he Gagged
the bali while sitting on the floor,
Butterfigld was the star shot OF the
visiting team, but his good showing
was no doubt due to the fact that
the other players fed the ball to him
continually At times the collesians
did some excellent passing but they
seemed hardly able to stand the fast
pace OF the second half. The sum

THE POINT At ISSUE
A. Mr.. Hapsood Sees u in the Mary
Rogers Case.

Editor Reformer:
In your editorial commenting upon
my open letter 10 the governor, allow
me TO remark that you fail TO meet
the chief point at Issue which IL:
Shall the governor listen to the voice
OF the people as indexed by the unan-
imous vote Of the house Of represent
tatiyes requesting reprieve, until
the mental responsibility of Mrs. Rog-
ers could be properly investigated?
This act was taken deliberately, In
n remarkably full assembly, after n
full opportunity was given for ex-
preston, and the most Significant
fact in regard to II Is that 1t was ia
yored largely by the very ones who
were the strongest against the act
for communication. Even the minister,
the gentleman from Cabot, who de-
clared that he would vote against
Communication though II We're his own
daughter, made a strong plea FOR
reprieve.
The fact that 1t failed of passage
I'm the senate has but little bearing.
since the resolution was advisory,
and would not have been mandatory
had II passed both houses over the
governors veto.
The house of representatives, elect
ed directly by the people, speaks the
voice of the people, and in this case
particularly, its tones were clarion III
depth of meaning and earnestness.
That even this privilege, customary
under like circumstances TO all male
offenders, should be refused TO
Young, defenceless, friendless woman,
is repugnant to every sense of moral
decency-es when we take
into consideration the peculiar condi-
ton of Mrs. Rogers at the time OF
the commission of the crime, which
condition often renders women unac-
countabe for their acts.
The question Is not shall capltal
punishment be abolished. or shall the
sentence of murderers be commuted,
but shall important facts, as claimed
not yet properly investigated, be al
lowed to have their proper bearing IN
accord with the demand of the people
through their representatives duls
elected to voice their sentiments
The governor fully admits his con-
stitutional right to grant the re-
prieve, and l yet believe that he VIII
so act.
That this woman should be hung
in order to create a feeling of revu-
sion against capital punishment is
sentiment too barbaric for conslaera-
tion. NJ. ]. Hapgood,
Peru, Vt, Jan. %, 1905.
