WHAT HEARsTISM MEANS

One of the principal dangers of what
was formerly known as Organism and
what has come to be known in New York
as Hearstism, is the readiness with which
the ignorant and the minimizing accent
the most extreme deihagog,sm. Hearst
stands up and shouts that he Is fighting
for the poor people, while all the time
his millions continue to pile up and
while his sole aim is the promotion of his
own political fortunes.
1t Is notorious fact that Hearst has
gained a strong hold upon the masses of
the people in New York city. The city is
already beginning to reap the whrwind
harvest as a result of sowing TO the hot
air OF IIearstsm.
Wide attention is being given to the
fact that the city of New York sold eleven
millions of dollars of four per cent. bonds
and the price received for them was only
a little above par. It is but few years
since New York city three and a half per
cent bonds sold at more money than the
tours now bring.
This surprising condition OF financial af
fairs in the American metropolis is at
tributed. first, to the fact that the city
Is spending more money than 1t ought,
and second, 70 Hearstism, but unques-
tionably the greatest of these influences
is Hearstism.
Happy the time when NOT only the peo-
pie Of the Empire State but of the whole
country shall be relieved of the presence
OF that spirit Of readiness to 30 to any
extreme which stands an omlnous cloud
over the nation, Happy the day which
shall reveal IIcarstism as 1t is in the eyes
Of the whole people

WHAT VERMONT NEEDS AND


This is a practical age and what Ver-
mont wants in its State government Ia
not rainbow chasing but the adoption of
measures of progress. 1t is easy for any
man to say things ought TO be thus and
so. and II you will throw away what you
have you shall be rewarded. People are
constantly being buncoed by the sharper
in private life, through bogus checks or
green goods or gold bricks or other
schemes. Political charlatans can always
be counted upon to come to the front
periodically and ask the people to trust
them. Party auacks are constantly crying
their nostrums. We always have with us
the sinsle-taxers and the double-taxers
and the land-taxcrs. We shall always
have men trying to ride into power on
and then drop into deserved oblivion. The
people find them out.
When n man gives evidence of sincere
desire to improve the condition of the
people, they deservcdly trust him. When
"A man gives Of his substance as well as
of his time ana his energy TO help his
fellow men improve tn--nselvos' intel

vantage OF larger opportunities to carry
on similar work. for his fellow citizens
The people Of Vermont want to move
faster in the various paths of develop
ment than they have been moving. Here
are two candidates for governor who say
they will do all in their power to pro-
mote the interests and welfare OF the
State.
Knowing what you do of Fletcher d.
Proctor and Percival W. Clement. whom
would you sooner trust to do the right
thing by the individual taxpayers, by our
State institutions, by all of Nermonts
great interests?
Ask yourself what has each done for
the people In the Nast and whether, il
elected governor, he is not likely to keep
on doing Just he has been doing, and
then decide whom you would choose to
promote the welfare of the state, If you
had the selection TO make en your own
| responsibility.
Here Is what Fletcher d. Proctor said
cepting the nomination for the high office
of governor of Vermont:
| "Our thought and effort should prim-
arily he directed TO the accomplishment
of such things as Will to the greatest
degree improve the condition of the
men, women and children who are to-
day summcring and wintcring in YER
mont. If we first make Vermont the
best possible place to live in our peo-
pie will quickly recognize this fact and
stay at home and strangers will learn
of IT and come to us.
I'VE should so shape our counsels
here to-day that we may maintain the
honorable reputation of the Republ-
can party in the state and deserve the
fealty and support of all It's members.
Let us approach the coming campaign
determined not only to uphold but to
advance the good name of Vermont
and tho highest welfare of her people.
If elected in September such experience,
ability and strength MS have shall be
devoted to that end"
There is not Il man. woman or child
in Vermont who does not want to sec
these policies carried out, for 1t means
u Greater Vermont in every way.
Looking at what Fletcher y. Proctor
has done for his own community In
numerous lines of public service and
development. considering his disinter'
osted efforts to promote great Bone
factions by his family for the benefit
of the people of Vermont MS n whole
taking into account his consistent rec
ord in behalf of the individual tax
payers while in the Legislature at diff
fcrcnt times, and noting his admirable
qualities as an employer. rs citizen
and as a public servant, say In you,

or trust him than any other candidate
to give Vermont that safe, yet pro
grcssive and creditable government OF
which you would he proud.

TIE CAMPAIGN TO DATE.

as follows:
The Caedon,an is glad to say. that
so far as one may judge from a careful
study of the situation up to the present
writing. that the republican ticket has
made steady and notable progress in the
last few weeks. The clean straight for
ward manner in which Messrs Proctor
and Prouty have been meeting the peo-
p and discussing the issues incident to
this peculiar campaign, has turned many
voters away from butterfly chasing, and
made them, and their cause of good gov
eminent, many ardent active friends
among the heretofore lukowarm. Voters

PROCTOR AND VERMONT'S SCHOOLS

All of Nermont's educators appreciate
Improve Nermont's schools. The serious
character OF that problem has become
laccentuated with the increased movement
OF our rural population toward the larger
centers OF our State.
Our smaller schools in the country dis
trcts are growing smaller, and increased
difficulty is experienced with diminishing
funds to secure teachers fitted for instruc-
ton in even the most elementary
branches. Something must be done to
remedy this situation so that the educa-
ton OF the children, on which rests the
safety of society and the perpetuity Of
popular government, shall be rescued
from present menacng conditions.
That Fletcher d. Proctor fully appre-
ciates the situation as regards Vermont's
educational interests is demonstrated by
that part of his speech in the recent State
follows:
IAN important question confronting us
Is that of the public schools. A good public
school education is all that the great ma
jority OF Vermont parents can give or
leave their children. This they can and
should give them. and they will always
naturally seek n home where they can
best obtain 1t. I believe in the gradual
Capitalization Of rural schools, a higher
standard for teachers, strict require
ment of attendance. a rigid enforcement
Of the child labor law, and a gradual in
PRODUCTION in centralized schools of in
dustrial training. ! consider, however. the
change most fundamental and vital to
| the welfare of the common school is
skilled supervision. Vermont cannot af-
ford longer to be behind other common
wea lths in this respect"
Mr.. Proctor thus proved that he had
ideas as to how Vermont's schools should
be improved as well as the courage to
utter his convictions. He has made a
study of education in his own town, and
he has practical knowledge on the subject,
enforced by a zeal to have something done
70 improve our schools.
| New contrast the above statesmanlike
and patriotic utterance with the deciara-
ton of the democratic platform which the
present democratic candidate for COVER
nor helped to dictate.
The democratic school plank says simply
that.
The public schools must be kept to the
highest standard, and compulsory at
tendance must be obtained"
Under the head of taxation, however
the democratic platform declares against
the State school tax for the cause OF edu-
lcation in the rural Districts
In other words Mr.. Clements platform
would take away from the country schools
even the State funds they now have, We.
without making any other provision fol-
their support the platform INDUCES lr
the glittering generality that schools
should be kept to the highest standard.
Ask yourself, Who as governor would
be the better friend of the public school.

MIXED BY NIAGARA FALLS.

To the Editor of the Boston Herald
The idea of htchng Niagara Falls to
a COW for the purpose of drawing milk
is so novel and revolutionary that the
Herald Is to be pardoned for n little
scepticism in the matter. But the story
is not improbable For many years dairy
men have been looking for practical
milking machine. just for many years
printers dreamed Of a tNpcsettng ma
chine. At length Il milking machine
has made its appearance. 1t is as
yet new it Is not much advertised and is
not tH general Sc: but few pioneers
are experimenting with it-some here in
Massachusetts,; and all the opinions and
experiences are favorable. Probably the
milking machine now a practical
reality. But the machine must have
some power; and nothing is more natural
than that in the zone supplied with COM
mercial electricity from the Niagara Fails
generating plant a dairyman should have
Installed a motor operated from the
above source The matter has been
phrascd in rather sensational language in
the daily newspapers; but though at first
glance revolutionary is not at all impos
sible or improbable.
