such dangerous radicalism The fount OF

dried up if New Hampshire legislators had
been obliged to pay their fares II would,
too have nterfered seriously with the sys-
TEN by which the B. 6 NJ ruled the com
monwealth Everybody turned his atten-
ton TO "Old Home week and the bust.
ness of attracting summer visitors. One is
reminded OF this little background Of New
Hampshire recent history by the reform
campaign which Winston Churchill is con-
Quoting in support Of his candidacy for the
republican nomination for governor. Mr..
Churchill originally dropped into New Hamp-
shire as summer visitor, and, while he did
not drop down from heaven by a good
deal, ii is a very wholesome shower that
he has brought upon the state He has al.
ready improved upon Old Home week by
instituting.a personally conducted Old Home
awakening, which New Hampshire needs
above everything else.
Mr.. Churchill seems to have begun about
where Mr.. Chandler left off-with the free
pass, which comes nearer to being the state
seal than anything else New Hampshire
can boast of Mr.. Chandler was himself
too far gone to seed as old time politician
with a record to succeed in his crusade
against government by the B. and NJ, but
Mr. Churchill has the advantage of youth,
disinterestedness and more favorable at
mosphere. Times have changed percepfibly
in five years, and, besides, the very cheek
of Young novelist announcing his intention
to give battle to the supreme railroad
oligarchy makes the advertising run under
its own steam. Mr.. Churchill has gone can
ddating before. Two years ago he an
nounced himself a candidate for congress-
but no one rose to him. Congress did not
need him, while, if he had a political mis-.
fore that he had been a candidate for the
New Hampshire senate and been CURLY
turned down by the machine. But Cornish,
his home town, had been faithful in send
ing him to the legislature for a term or two,
and there he saw how the B. and NJ ruled
the state. All honor to Cornishl 1t, too,
issued a free pass, but it was the godspeed
of people and not the devilspeed of
railroad monopoly. If this be taking Mr..
Churchill too seriously, then the dire need
of New Hampshire for a shake-up on its
thousand hills must be the excuse For any
man who can fill hall denouncing the New
Hampshire political system and secure full
reports of his speeches in the Boston news
papers deserves to be regarded more serious
ly than a popgun or a joke.

A movement is on foot to organize
national society to obtain and dis
tribute information on practices and
conditions that are dangerous to pub
lie health and morals. The organiza-
ton. it is said, will work for the en-
actment and enforcement of all laws
for the prevention of quaekery and
criminal practices in the healing art,
the prevention of adulteration and
substitution of drugs and food sub
stances and the prevention of the sale
of alcohol and narcotics and other
dangerous substances sold under the
guise of proprietary remedies. The
society has certainly undertaken a
huge task but if il receives the sup
port its objects merit there can be no
doubt about its ultimate success.

In commenting on the results OF
placing the appointing power OF II
cense commissioners in the hands Of
the assistant judges The Burlington
News makes this confession:
In both years since this change in
the law the awards of license were no.
toriously in politics. 1t was talked on
the street long before licenses were
granted that certain old licensees
would not be favored because of their
alleged participation in politics The
talk was confirmed, but that was not
all. There were others that created
more of ruction. And this political
alliance with rum was steered by men
who ought TO know better.

The Fusion County Ticket.

That the fight against republican
ring rule will be made all the way
down the ticket in Windham county is
made apparent by the action of the
democrats and independent republicans
at their conventions Saturday. The
result of this action is a fusion county
ticket whose candidates ought to prove
worthy antagonists of the men selected
by the regular republican county con-
vention. While the heat of the cam
paign is centered about the state tick
ct there are throughout the county
many voters who believe that the
"house cleaning ought to be thor
ough and for that reason will give their
support to the fusion county ticket as
well as TO the ticket headed by Glenn
ent and Pape. All of the candidates
for Offices on the fusion county ticket
are men of clean records and sincere in
their belief that Vermont will benefit
by change in management. The plat
form on which they stand condemns
the present financial management Of
the state, favors the restoration of the
appointing power of license commits
sioners to the selectmen on the ground
that such change brings the settle
ment nearer the people, favors legis-
lation that will abolish double taxa
ton. and endorses the democratic and
Independent republican platforms. The
county platform, however, CONSTITUTES
the democratic plank in regard to state
highway and school taxes to mean that
these taxes should not be abolished
but $50 safeguarded as to insure their
devotion to the construction of perma-
nent highways and the real betterment
of our common schools. Considering
the number of people who are right
fully disguised at the way republican
politics are managed in this county and
who believe the defeat of the republic
can county ticket would be deserved
rebuke to the master traders, the fu-
sion candidates can be depended upon
to make things interesting for their OPP
ponents. The fight will be clean as far
as it is in the power of fusion support
ers to make it so, but it will be none
the less strenuous on that account.

Restoring the Morgan Horse.


When Vermont and kentucky join hands in
the deliberate production Of a new breed Of
horses, the rest Of the country viii await the
result with confidence as well as interest Ken.
lucky has easily led all the rest Of the country
! in horsehesh. The raising OF horses is prose
cuted in that state both a science and as
an art. Horses are bred there for the money
that can be made out Of them, but more than
that for the pure love Of them. The best type
OF the American road horse is the product Of
Kentucky. Nearly all the famous American
racers were bred in Kentucky. No other state
can compare with Kentucky in the amount OF
land and money devoted TO the maintenance OF
the horse.
Vermont produced the Morgan horse, and has
bred many famous individual animals whose
blood like that Of Ethan Allen,n was only in
part Morgan. II has the advantage Of excel
lent pastures. OF a stimulating climate, and Of
a race OF men who, like those Of Kentucky,
devote themselves 10 the raising and care Of
horses with perfect unhagging and lifelong en-
thusiasm.
The United States bureau of animal industry
has done we'll, therefore, in establishing at the
Vermont agricultural experiment station near
Burlington stud, at which an attempt win
be made 10 revive the best qualities OF the ia.
nous Morgan strain, with increased size. The
bureau has purchased, for a beginning in this
attempt, seven young mares of the Morgan
type in Vermont and two mares in Kentucky.
The Kentucky mares will produce progeny by
Harrison Chief, a Kentucky stallion famous for
the great effect that his blood has had upon the
quality Of the harness horses for which that
state is famous.
The men who are in charge Of the expert
ment are all experts They know what qualities
to eliminate as wen as what to retain Their
ideal will be the old vigorous spirited, speedy,
long. enduring, intelligent beautiful Morgan
type. II they get it, and in conjunction with it
little more size than the old Morgan had,
they win perform a service to the country that
will make them as famous as Carnegie or Rookie
Teller.

In attempting to prove that Vermont
is not careless in the matter of state
expenses Congressman Foster compares
the cost of our various departments
with the cost of similar departments
in New Hampshire, and because the
Vermont costs are less he wishes his
hearers to assume that everything is
all right. If New Hampshire is as
grossly experimentation as Winston
Churchill nightly declares and the
management of affairs in that state as
lax as this condition would indicate

The Burlington Free Press, which
has allowed its enthusiasm for the
Proctor cause to affect its news as well
as editorial columns, recently printed
the following "item of news" at the
head of its correspondence from vari'
Gus towns:
Mr.. Clement has plank in his
platform which reads: "We charge the
republican machine of Vermont with
continuing the rotten borough system
to maintain its absolute supremacy.
And Mr. Clement pledges his best eff
forts to secure an amendment to
change the present system of represen-
tation from towns to districts. This
means that your town will have no
representative in the legislature; that
your town will become one of chain
of towns and that this chain of towns
will elect a representative. Will you
stand for it, There's just one way to
avoid 'this Clement plan and that is to
vote the straight republican ticket.
This is another example of the lengths
to which the machine papers are driven
in their efforts to turn votes from the
Independent cause. How often has it
been explained that the only way in
which change in the representation
system can come about is by constitu-
tional amendment after favorable action
by two sessions of the legislature9 One
would think to read the ''news items y
in the Free Press (by the way, what s
in nameO that Mr.. Clement had but
to say the word and the change would
take place forthwith.

Balloon Trim of ESQ Miles.

Sailing above the clouds and over csc
miles OF panoramic land and water from New
York city and landing Monday at Brant
Rock, near Plymouth, Mass, Dr. Julian P
Thomas Of New York city and Roy Knaben
shue, a professional aeronaut. made one OF
the most successful balloon trips yet under
taken in this country and learned much, il is
believed, that will assist in the develop
ment Of aerial navigation. DR.. Thomas in
an interview said that the trip from every
point Of view was the most successful he
has yet experienced. The balloon was I'M
damaged, but Aeronaut Knabenshue was cut
slightly during the final descent al Brant
Rock Otherwise nothing married the fight.
The voyage was made with one stop and
that a voluntary one at Noank, Conn, early
Monday morning, where by the aid of a
new guide rope DR.. Thomas brought his big
balloon to earth to procure breakfast and
water almost as skilfully and with as ac-
curate a judge of distance as pilot brings
huge liner to her dock. The aeronauts
landed at Brant Rock at 11.30 Monday
morning and as they left New York at mid
night Sunday night they were nearly IL
hours on their trip.
