however. and almost coincidcnt with
the success of President Roosevelt in
tween Russia and Japan comes the
announcement that the Chinese boy
colt of American products Is under a
government ban. An edict has been
issued by the Pekin government COM
handing viccroys and governors Of
provinces to take vigorous measures
for the suppression of the boycott and
holding them strictly responsible for
the carrying out Of this edict in their
respective jurisdictions.
1t is worthy Of note, however, that
the Chinese government has shrewdly
embodied in the edict the assertion
that the United States government has
promised to revise the treaty of ex-
clusion, so that as a matter Of fact
while the boycott Is withdrawn Off
cially it is morally still held over the
heads of Americans as an incentive TO
action on the part CT Congress to in
duce our government to remove the
most Objectionable features of the law
restricting Chinese immigration to the

What OUR NElGHBORS SAY
(From the Bennington Banner.)

(FrOm the Bennington Banner)
The Tribune was among the Ver-
mont newspapers that knew, by here
say, the principal facts of the loath-
some scandal in the States prison,
and. in common with 10 or ~ other
self-rcspcctng journals, kept the
secret inviolate--for good and sufficient
reasons. The ancient idea that news
paper men can't be trusted with State
secrets is pretty well exploded by such
IA Observation-Disclosures Tribune.
AS the Banner has before said, It is
the small fry, two for cent official
with Il head like butternut who likes
to show his Importance by trying to hide
facts from IL newspaper. Real men with
brains and common sense discovered long
ago that the way to treat newspapers
IL fairly. openly and honestly, knowing
that reputable newspapers do not take
the advantage of condolences or bctray
the rights of the public or of individuals.
Thc Tribune refers to the prison scan
dal the facts of which were known in
confidence to all the leading papers of
The State weeks before thcy were pub
lishod. Another instance is the report
of the asylum investigation. the findings
of which were entrusted to reputable
newspaper men several days before they
were officially ANNOUNCED. Still another
instance is the list Of committees of the
Vermont House of representatives which
arc almost invariably intrusted to the
newspaper men at the capital to send
to their respective papers by mail before
they are read in the House. Hundreds
of similar Illustrations might he given.
The newspapers are tho greatest friends
tho people have, They watch everything
md keep the public Informed and ready
to net or draw conclusions. They make
mistakes but fcwer than anybody else
and over and always it may be noted
that the readers Of newspapers are the
people who know the truth and are the
hardest to lead astray by falsehood. blus-
tor. false pretence and bullying.
For these reasons honest men who
have had real experience with men and
affairs trust tho newspapers. 1t Is the
man with n guilty secret or n selfish
end who withholds confidence IN the news
papers Honest men. In the public scrv.
leo or out OF It. have nothing to fear

A CIlJ1vrENDEN COUNTY FAIR.

Why should Chittenden county not have
orably with the agricultural exhibitions
that annually attract thousands of visi-
tors to Brattleboro and Plattsburgh and
Middlebury? This is question that has
been discussed in this vicinity recently,
and it is a matter in which the farming
interests of Chittenden county, and par
ticuarly the breeding interests have II
direct concern. Grand Isle county now
has close nnections with the main land
by means of the Rutland railroad, and
the farmers on the islands would also
be intere sted in an exhibition in which
they might have a direct part.
One of the chief reasons why fairs at
Howard Park were not more successful
was the extreme difficulty experienced in
reaching the grounds from the city. 1t is
true that railroad trains made special
trips to and from the city. but for many
residents it was necessary to pay the
price Of admission almost to reach the
station and ride to the park. the other
teams. After the State fair had practi-
cally become moribund the street rail-
road was extended to the grounds. but
it was extremely limited in those days.
The extension of the Burlington Trac-
ton company's lines and the provision
of ample power for the handling of large
ditions in this respect. and if Howard
Park were in use to-day for fair purposes
it requires no argument to show that our
residents would be much more ready
than formerly 10 attend exhibitions there.
There are various locations on North
avenue or Shelburne street where the
"A fair ground. and If the breeders and
others interested were to get together
for the purpose project Of this char
acter might be carried out.
Burlington and other towns in this
county formerly boosted of their fine
breeding horses and other stock. but the
general public hears little of fine animals
at the present time. An agricultural ex-
hbiton would afford opportunity to show
stock as well as arouse competition, and
this city would again become the market
for fine drivers and other blooded stock
that it was formerly, a result in which
all breeders throughout the country would
be materially Interested.
Why not form Chittenden county
drivers association and have county
fair, or if that can not be done let Bur-
lington profit by Brattleboro's experience
and have Champlain valley fair?
There are number of breeders of fine
stock in this vicinity and it is to be
hoped they will cooperate for the purpose
OF starting n project of this character.
