The Making Of High Scoring Herd.
Commenting at a recent stock breed
ers' meeting on a certain Minnesota
herd, W. ID. Hoard said: So far as we
can learn, this high scoring herd was
constructed and brought to its present
state of good profit 10y the owner being
a good judge of cows in purchasing

cellent understanding Of bow TO care
for and feed a COW aftet he got her.
OF course. added to THY was the proc

with the management of a dairy herd.

There are great many scrub COW

Skating on Thin Ice.

Elisha May, who is holding up the
Democratic end of Mr.. Clements
speech-making tour, has discovered
another source of graft and that is in
the ice water tanks in the county
court houses. In Island Pond one
evening this week Mr.. May said the
expense for ice water ran from moth
ing in Essex, Grand Isle, and Wind
ham counties to S52.lO in Addison and
S153.70 in Bennington"
The above item which is part of the
fusionist campaign thunder is being
circulated around the state but it is
pure unadulterated lying as far as this
county is concerned. Judge Carney,
who is the oldest man about the court
house says that there has not been a
cake of ice around there within his
memory and County Clerk Cushman
says the same thing. Sheriff Wilson,
in whose account such charge would
appear, says there has never been a
bill for ice since he has been in office.
If this is sample of the truth of the
Clement argument, it is no wonder
that the Clement movement is fading
away. Banner

recognizing the Courts.

The Republican state platform
adopted at Montpelier contained this
plank:
Twelfth: We recommend that the
next legislature give careful attention
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of recognizing our
judiciary system"
Our Democratic friends also recog-
nized this matter in their platform by
saying:
"We advocate a trial and law court.
If a change is made in the coming
legislature, we trust that in the cleo
ton of judges the minority will not
be forgotten"
This last is pathetically ludicrous.
1t has kind of remember the waiter,
sir" whine about it that makes its
appearance in what is designed to be
a dignified state declaration of party
principles most palpably absurd. But
force of habit is responsible for it.
The Democratic party knows it will
not control the legislature and de-
ceives itself with no false hopes. 1t is
a matter of no consequence about the
minority being represented on the
bench as political minority; no polit-
ical lines whatever should be recog-
nized in the selection of the judges,
The judges should be selected without
regard TO the political party or par
ties they may belong to, but with re.
spect to their fitness for the office and
that alone.

Clement Nailed to his Post"

P. w. Clements chief stock in the
present campaign has been an array Of
figures tending to show that Vermont has
been standing still, or according to his
department of publicity, "hitched to a
post" If this were true, it would not
necessarily mean that our State govern
ment was made up of fools or knaves, as
he would have the public believe, but it
Is not true. Clement has simply been
banking on our worn out or abandoned
hill farms and asking the people to jump
10 the illogical conclusion that the State
is going to the dogs because of republican
rule
Reference to the facts and figures in
the case, however, will serve to prove
conclusively that when Clement asserts
that Vermont's material interests have
been standing still he is either intention
ally misleading the people of the State
or he is woefully ignorant of the true
situation and is hardly qualified to man.
age interests of which he knows so little.
The figures on which taxation in the
State is based ought TO be fully as re-
liable and conclusive as the figures that
the Clement bureau has trumped up. The
returns are made annually to the secre-
tary of State from the different towns so
that they are official
These figures, printed annually in Wal
tons Register, which every reader can
consult for himself, show that from 1889
down to the present time Clements "blue
period" there was a gratifying increase
in wealth in our State, including real
estate.
