EIlIpInos to Study EarmInu.

Filipino students sent to this country
by the insular government to study agri-
culture will hereafter devote their atten-
ton chiefly to the Southern states, where
suger, tobacco, rice and other crops well
suited to the islands are grown extern
sively. At present there are thirty
young Filipinos in the United States
studying farming in various agricultural
schools in the Northern states. Because
Of race prejudice in the South, the young
Filipinos have not taken kindly to the
idea of attending Southern institutions
but as corn is practically the only North
ern crop which is grown in their home
country many of the young students
realize that they should go into states
where the tropical crops flourish, and this
fall number of the boys win take up
work in Louisiana and other states in
the far South.

success Of the Valley Fair.
[Barre Times.l

The Valley Fair draws from all over
the southern and central sections OF YER
mont, as well as from neighboring stauss.
The reason for this wide attraction Is
business-like advertising, after having
something to advertise. That is what
those financial failures lack; they do not
advertise. We have In mind another
Vermont agricultural exhibit, not a great
way from Barre. which was accounted a
success after a fashion, but which might
have had three times the success II a
slight attempt at advertising had been
made. Let the people know what you
have to offer, just as the merchant sets
forth his wares. That is what Brattle-
boro did for its fair, and II is the one
great reason for its success. Not only do
tho managers make known through
legitimate channels Of advertising the i'm
portance OF their exhibit but the people
as a whole take the tip and pass along
the good word. They enter spiritedly
into the proposition Under such condi-
tons. there really ought to be no call
to hold funeral services for Vermont's
agricultural exhibits just yet. Neither is
there reason In a demand for state as
sistance.

This new wick attachment is TO be tound

show that, although the heater gives intense
heat, the wick cannot be turned too high or
too low-absolute safety thus being assured,

The Carnegie Pension Fund for Eduea
tors

The sense Of security which has come
TO college professors In the final estab-
ilshment Of uhe Carnegie Pension Fund
will be of undoubted benefit to the col
leges of our land. An instance In point
is that of a professor who is much In
demand the country over. Recently a
position of considerable importance was
offered him, which. moreover, was very
congenial to him. The argument which
finally decided him to keep his professor
ship was that in ten years he would be
entitled to a pension from the Carnegie
Fund, and that after his death his wife
would be comfortably taken care OF II
she should survive. The workings of this
fund ought to prove a powerful argument
in favor of the pensioning Of school teach
ers generally. This is not a matter to be
left to local initiative. 1t Is doubtful
whether It should be made a state affair.
The reasonable plan would seem to be to
establish a national system of pensions,
The plea which permits annuities to be
paid to war veterans certainly applies with
no less force to the true preservers of the
nation, who are the teachers thereof

There was no opportunity for graft in
the work which the National Good Roads
men did In Brattleboro. They were paid
only a nominal sum and in their address,
es and instructions they showed beyond
question that they were authorities on
matters pertaining to good roads and
that their knowledge was not purely
academic and they certainly were useful
in stimulating interest in a subject which
cannot be brought to the attention Of
Vermonters any too often.

eluIons Of Dollar. In New sulidlno..

Never before in the history OF the
world has there been such a boom in bull
ding construction as is now taking place
in the United States. From all parts of
the country reports are coming in which
show that billions Of dollars are being
spent in the endeavor to provide homes
for a population which is increasing by
leaps and bounds. Chicago is enjoying a
boom without parallel in the history OF
that city. Baltimore has just been cele-
brating its remarkable rise from the ashes
of the great fire. San Francisco bids fair
to excel Baltimore's record. New York
is constructing new sl1yscrapers represen-
ting investments amounting to 500, 600

boroughs, builders are expanding an aver
age OF $3.50. 900 a year in hotels, apart

1rattFeboro High School 8, Bellows Falls
High School 5.

The local football season opened on the
island last Saturday when the Brat
tleboro high school won the game with
Bellows Falls high school by score OF
SIS. The visitors had the advantage in
weight but the Brattleboro boys were
match for 1t In speed and pluck. Brat
tleboro had the first kick-off and the
Bellows Falls man who received the ball
was downed in his tracks. The ball changed
sides several times on failure to make the
prescribed 10 yards, and two or three
good punts were made. The new forward
pass was worked once with fair sue
cess by Bellows Falls. After about IL
minutes Crosby broke through the OPP
posing left end and with Dunlevy for in
reference, made a touchdown and Jones
kicked a clean goal. Brattleboro re-
ceived the next kickoff but on third
down gave the ball to her opponents who
bowled down the field and across the goal
line in half a dozen plays. The attempt
to kick a goal resulted in a fizzle Time
was called before another score could be
made by either side. In the second half
the lines charged back and forth across
the centre of the field and except for
Jones's long punt the game was OF
little interest

Martin and Burke have been retired

Of course, as did his election.
Mr.. Kittredge is credited with be-
ing very sagacious and adrot poll
tician, but his recent acts do not
seem to show it. Had he acquiesced
in the result of the state convention
and lent his aid to harmonizing the
antagoniStic factions of the Republic
can party SO far as their conflicting
interests would permit he might still
have retained his hold on Minnehaha
county at least, but instead he could
not brook opposition and continued
the fight, pursuing all the old and
most obnoxious methods of the ma
chine in this and other counties, and
the anti-machine element fought
back The result is that not only is
the machine element utterly dis
organized and focking to the other
side in most Of the counties OF the
state, but Mr.. Kittredge and his
faction in this county have hopeless
ly antagonized the party in the state
at large with which large element
of the Republicans in this county are
ready to cooperate to defeat him

NO WHITE SUGAR AFTER
JANUARY 1.
The Pure Food Law Then Goes
Into Effect.

The pure food law that goes into ef-
feet January l is far reaching in its
provisions, but if carried out will
without doubt result in much good to
the community and will probably les
son in a measure the stomach tronb-
les SO prevalent. The law applies
only to interstate commerce. Goods
prepared for market in this state
and sold in this state only, are not
liable to government inspection, but
New York State has a pure food law
of its own which goes the Federal law
one or two better, its requirements
being high and it's enforcement strict.
There will be no more white sugar
offered for sale after the new law be-
comes operative. There will be loaf
and granulated sugars as at present,
but the color will be a dull yellowish
white, not very attractive to the eye,
but much more healthful than the

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
State of South Dakota.
Executive Department

The people, the plain people, of
this state have great reason to be
thankful for the many and bountiful
blessings which they have enjoyed
during the past year.
In all probability the state has
never been freer from sickness and
disease, and of all our blessings none
SurpaSS those of good health. An
other great blessing which our people
have enjoyed is that they have had
do. The reward has been of the full
lest measure and the result is that
our homes, the humbleSt as well as
the richest, are provided with all the
necessaries and many of the comforts
of life. There is something about
the completeness of the South Dakota
home, that strong as the word is,
does not fully convey an adequate
idea of the comfort and hospitality
found therein. Doubtless there are
exceptions, and where they exist it is
my earnest wish that friends and
neighbOrS come to the rescue to the
end that all may enjoy Thanksgiving
Day. Toward the unfortunate one
let our motto be, sit is more blessed
to give than to receive"
The multitude of blessings which
we are enjoying this year ought to
make us better givers to worthy, de-
serving persons and causes and aid us
in being better and truer citizens.
To Him who sends the rain upon
the just and the unjust, let US give
thanks in our hearts, in our acts, in
our homes. in the schools, ION We'd

throughout the commonwealth. In
a word, let us remember that the
year just closing has been the fattest
in the history of our state, especially
so for the farmer and all those who
toll, and it occurs to me that we
ought to be the best and most truly
thankful people in all this great and
good round world. believe we are.
Therefore, agreeable to the Presi-
dents proclamation, /, Samuel H. Ell
rod, Governor of the State of South
Dakota, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the 29th day of November, 1906,

for it will mean the election of a man
who will be more closely identified
with the interests of the masses and
better able to represent the people
rather than thes privileged classes.
Senator Kittredge is admittedly an
able man, but he has not been able
to serve the people and corporate in
terests, with which he has been affili-
ated for so long a period, at the same
time. The wonder is that the people
of South Dakota ever elected him in
the first place. The senator's induc-
tion into politics in South Dakota
was as lieutenant of ex-senator
Pettigrew, and when the latter bolted
the national Republican convention
of 1896 and supported Bryan for presi-
dent, Mr.. Kittredge appointed him
self as the cheif manager Of the Re-
publican party of this state. Backed
by the Milwaukee railroad mpany,
for which he was state attorney, he
organized the famous Kittredge ma
chine and until this year has auto
cratically controlled the destines of
the Republican organization, dictat-
ing all legislation, state and county
nominations and appointments. The
death of the late Senator Kyle open
ed the way for him to the senatorship
to which he was appointed by Gov.
Herried, who owed his office to the
machine, and his election four years
ago followed as a matter of course as
result of the Republicans carrying
the state, though many Republicans
then WINGED at the sending of a rail-
road attorney to represent the state
in the senate.
Mr.. Kittredge has been a hard
party master both before and since
his election as senator. His machine
has been intolerant of opposition and
many good Republicans have fallen by
the wayside because they were not
subServient to the machine. This
ruthless abuse of power, coupled
with dictation to the legislature
and favoritism to corporations,
started the revolt, and the defeat of
the primary petition by the last legis-
lature at the command of Senator
Kittredge and the antagonism shown
by him and the two machine con-
gressmen, Martin and Burke, toward
the presidents railroad rate bill, gave
the revolt an Impetus until it be-
came an avalanch that has over
J whelmed the machine. Congressman
