DIED ON THE STREET.

Last Saturday aiterdoon II. C..
("Dallas") Edwards, while leaning
against the front Of RickuS Il Meyers
saloon, sunk to the pavement and ex-
PRED He had been in town several
days and drinking most of the time.
He had Just walked up the street Il
few moments before and leaned against
the saloon. His death was probably
due to heart weakness caused by over
indulgence in drinking. Squire W.
II. Young, acting as coroner, had a
Jury summoned and held an inquest
over the body. The verdict of The
jury was that deceased came to his
death by visitation OF God in nat
ural way, superinduced by excessive
use Of intoxicating drink, and that
there were no signs Of violence on the
body when found by witnesses. Dial.
las had long been addicted TO the ex-
cessive use of into1ioants, and years
ago squandered in this way com.
Portable competence. His death is
sad warning to the young and TO all
who yield TO the temptation OF strong
drink.

Agriculture and Horticulture

The display in this department wa,
Il revelation to the hundred, who yiN.
tied it, and made them feel proud OF
old 81. Francois. No finer display OF
grain, vegetables, grasses, fruits and
melons, or greater variety, could
probably be made by any single rpuu-
Is, aud the size and quality poke
volumes Tor the fertility and adipia-
bili;y OF our soil ior almost anything
produced in thi, latitude. Any one
who lmagincs that thi, Is not good
apple country should have seen the 80
or 40 varieties of apples on display,
as large and fine in color as can be
produced anywhere and all Of which
appear to be at home in thi, section.
Such display ought 20 encourage the
planting OF commercial orchards.
One long table, reaching clear acros,

of the Buucrheld Nurseries, and we

that the reader may form some idea OF
the variety presented. Thirty yarie.

The other tables of fruits were IN.
usually fine, embracing the finest and

were equal in SIZE to the iamuu, Cali

ored. The apples were large IN size
and the best varieties grown.

On Monday morning the school was
favored by visit from Rev. Thomp-

A RUNNING.AWAY DISCUSSION.

The esteemed Rutland Herald says that
It has no disposition al this time to
engage the Free Press IN a running dis
oussion of the issues and political commo-
tons OF the campaign of 1907" We should
say that this is just the sort OF thing it
is uoing, running away dcussion." II
does stop long enough, however, TO talk
about what happened after delegates had
been kicked out of the Montpelier con-
vention."
Now most people in Vermont labored
under the supposition that the part of the
Clement delegates who walked out of the
Montpelier convention followed joe
Jones out as leader, and that this move
mont resulted from the union of the
forces Of the two opposing candidates, as
surfing the nomination of Mccullough. If
the Herald is as accurate in it's other
historical references TO the campo gn of
1902 as in this instance. the public can
readily correct its errors, including the
denial Of the presentation of its cham
pion's name in three State conventions
What the Free Press was really dis
GUESSING, however, was not the issues of
1902 but the issues of alleged corruption
and mal-administration that are now
being made issues in behalf Of the
Herald's champion. and we asked:
Has he not since patted on the
back in public the man whom he charged
with wholesale bribery in behalf of Nc
Cullough in 1902? If the esteemed con-
temporary now takes the remarka BILE posi-
iion that Clement did not arraign any Of
the State officials in 1902, and the State
auditor and others were all right in 1904
will il kindly state who the State offcis Is
are that he ARA igning in 1901?
VIII the Herald still dodge these ques-
lions?

CHAMPAIGN VALLEY ELECTRIC
ROAD.

That marked interest is being de.
Neloped in the project TO extend an
electric railway through the Cham
plain valley is indicated by the follow
ing statement published in the columns
OF the VerGennes Enterprise:
I'VE urge the attendance of all those
interested in the electric road proje ct
at the next meeting of the projectors
in Orwell, April ). Interest in the
proposed road is steadily growing but
there are those in every town along
the proposed route who do not hesitate
TO sncer at progress along this line
and place obstacles across the path
1t seems strange to most progressive
citizens why such people, who, be-
cause they cannot see any immcdia g
financial return for them, do not hest
tate to throw cold water on projects
or public improvement. This cond-
ton Of affairs has confronted the pro-
motors of every public project since
the world began and 1t probably will
continue to block the wheels of prog
ress to the end of time.
Although we cannot stop the talk
to forget them and their public atti-
tudo and work tremendously together
for the noble object of all this agita-
ton, the opening Wp of the garden of
Eden OF Vermont to trade, commerce
and the summer visitor by means Of an
electric road, Let's keep plugging and
never let mp until it becomes an ac-
Complished fact"
our neighbors should not be disturb
ed by the sneers Of envious or dis
sruntled men. There are always fair.
ly good citizens in many respects who
are ready to belittle or decry any UNI
selfish project for the common welfare
They simply hurt themselves however

were paid in wages 81, ,55,oj in 1906 as
compared with 4,G6S wagc-earners in 1900
receiving s2,65O1l7. The products Of the
marble and stone concerns of Vermont
were valued at $3.50. 4SG in 1905, as com
pared with a valuation of $3.50, Al in 1900.
In 1908 there were II wooden goods cstab-
ishments in Vermont representing n cap

wages against ASA operatives in 1900 re-
ceiving s5,7,24a in wages. The cost of ma
terials was s279a,1l1, as compared with

treated in the report of tho census de-

making a gratifying advance in develop

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS OF SENATE.

The executive sessions of the United
States Senate are made the subject OF
frequent editorial paragraphs owing &c
the fact that. while the proceedings arc
held behind closed doors, the newspa-
pers are able as rule to print fairly
complete stories OF the executive ses-
sons. Under these circumstances a story
that comes from the national capita'
of the New York World will have pc.
cullar interest.
IL. ]. Ridgeway. editor OF Everybody S
Magazine, sat in one OF the galleries in
the Senate listening to the railroad ra ts
debate. Mr.. Ridgeway wanted to see Sen
ator La Toilette, and he went down to
his committee room, leaving his hat on
minutes before the Senate went into en-
ecutive session, and was shooed out with
all the others. He left his hat there again
The Senate was in executive session,
FOR an hour and a half. Mr. Rdgeway
tried to get a sergeant-at-arms to get his
hat He was told nobody but a senator
could go in, and that his hat must stay
there until the doors were opened. II
stayed there too. and he waited.
II am fully convinced" MIR. Rdgeway
said, that these executive sessions are
really held behind closed doors"
Editor Ridgeway is unQuestionably an
adroit man and scholarly educator OF
public opinion, but really when he dis
covered for himself that the executive
sessions of the United States Senate are
held behind closed doors, he was DEM
onstratns a long established fact
If Editor Ridseway had turned scientist
and informed lonS-curious public
whether he closed doors had ears, or
whether the senatorial doors acted as
transInitters and had thus accounted for
the leaking of sounds from the Senate,
he would have been doing the cause Of
science a distinct service.
AS the case stands, however, people
are left in as much mystery as ever as
to how the proceedings OF the United
States Senate can be almost fully re-
ported when the senators are sitting be-
hind closed doors with no reporters pres
ent and no visible way of reporting their
utteranceS
Editor Ridgeway should have another
senatorial sitting.

MANUFACTURES IN VERMONT.

! While We are justly proud of the place
State we are interested in the develop
ment Of our commonwealth as a manu-
| featuring State, particularly as progress
| along the line indicated will not in amy
way interfere with the prosperity of our
| farmers. but will on the contrary increase
. the demand for all farm products. ii is
with distinct satisfaction, therefore, that
we note the growth made by our home
manufactures as indicated by figures fur
nished by the federal government,
| The director of the census has announc-
ed the result of the tsbulat ion of the
sta tistcs for the manufacturing indus
tries of the State of Vermont for the
calendar year 1901 forming a part of the
| census OF manufactures of 1905. This CEN
sus was taken in conformity with the act
fined to the manufacturing establish
inents with a product Of 500 or over, thus
excluding the neighborhood industries and
hand trades. such a the building trades.
dressmaking, custom millinery, custom
sawing and grinding, cobbling, and black
smithinc.
! Including these latter industries there
were reported at the twelfth census 4,0.I
establishments with 2ai55 wage earners
and products valued at S57,G23 SIS. These
totals are reduced as nearly as possible
to a comparative basis and the results
presented in a table, which shows the
totals for the State and four principal
industries in 1900 and 1905. The statistics
indicate that there has been substan-
tial increase in the manufactures Of the
increase of % IL per cent. in value of
products is very credtabe showing.
According to the table in question the
number of establishments in Vermont in
1905. including butter cheese and con-
densed milk. lumber, marble and
stone work and wooden concerns,
was i'o'', itp''StHt4h6 81 tdpltdl Oh ITO
less than Ss2,65S74l. The number Of
salaried officials, clerks, etc, employed by
these concerns was 2,O5s with a salary list
per annum of 81, ,7oS, as compared with
,695 receiving salaries aggregatng $3.50
III in 1890. The average number OF wage
earners thus employed in 1863 was 3d. 1l6
and the aggregate wages SIS, 22l ,o5s. as
compared with 2sl79 operatives receiving
81, 49, as in 1900. The miscellaneous cN-
penses of these 1859 concerns in 1908 was
81 90, s6G, the cost OF materials used was
s32, 9S52 and the value of their products
S63, 0S36 in 1909 as compared with mis-.
cellancous expenses Of s3,H4 IT'S, materials
costing $751; JAG, and products valued at
s5 ,5l532S in 1900,
The number OF cheese, butter and milk
establishments in Vermont in 1905 was 2al,
representing capital OF 81 ,219, 237 and hav-
ing 412 wage-earners with a pay roll of
SPAS 5s5. The value of the products of
these establishments was S6,7s6962, as

of the various lake transportation COM
panics. all of which have widely adver-
Used the States attractivencss as "A SUM
mer resort through their summer publca-
tons
Great praise is due the state fish and
game commission which. by its syste-
matte stocking Of lakes and streams, and
us rigid and impartial enforcement of
the fsh and game laws. has maintained
inc states natural attractiveness for
sportsmen. The commissions efforts have
been ably supported by the various county
hsh and game leagues which are COM
posed OF public spirited citizens who are
interested in the preservation and propa-
CATION OF fish and game, especially the
native species
Here are grand suggestions for the poo
pie Of Vermont, for our transportation
companies and for all concerned.
1t is evident from the change in the
character of summer visitor business that
while the erection of summer hotels in
different parts of Vermont would un-
duestionably promote tho growth of this
industry, it is not utterly hopeless for
our people to work to secure visitors I'M
der existing conditions for camps are
being erected along the shores of our
lakes and and in our mountain regions
in way to attract people to our State.
In the meantime no effort should be
spared to increase tho number OF our
summer visitors in every possible way,
and 1t is to be hoped that the State
Legislature at it's coming session may
DC able to devise some way of institute
ing practical measures under the auspices
OF our commonwealth to secure a large
addition to our summer business.
