WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

IDlDK more IMAM sentiment IN sIrlK-
ing name for a farm. 1t is a trade
mark and as valuable an asset to the
farmer as to the manufacturer. Pro-
duce sent out under name, il it is
high class article generally grown on
Vermont farms, is bound TO increase
the demand. Now is good time to
decide on a name for the farm. By
tue way, a number of Mortified farms
already have appropriate names

Here is a little query for the YER
mont maple sugar maker:
If this is likely to prove a good
sugar year, as the signs now appear
to indicate, why does it start off with
such an unusually high price on sugar
and syrup?
A representative of The Messenger
put this gus stion to a prominent state
authority on the maple sugar industry
and was told that the rise in price is
due &c the Pure Food Law.
That suggests another query:
If the price Of maple sugar must be
raised now because of the Pure Food
Law, what was the maple sugar made
of that kept its price down before the
law was passed?
Ir strikes The Messenger somebody
is making singular confession of
fraud or something very Ike it by
raising the price of this product on
such a pretext at the outset of such a
promising season.-S5. Adams Mes

cOndenses volumes Of political phil
osophy as we'll as sound sense into the
following editorial paragraph:
"St. George, that great and busting
town, voted Tor license by a majority
of two. The vote was Eyes" 3; mo"
l. And then to think that town has
as much voice ia making laws for the
state as Burlington with her 10000
votes!"
The number of Burlington's votes
is somewhat "exagg Grated" in this
instance, as Mark Twain would say,
but this tact does not materially af-
feet the application of the principle
involved. 1t may take decades to
convince the small towns of Vermont
that they should relinquish the power
given to mere territory when there
was less difference between the pop
ulation of the various towns than at
present, but that Time will surely
come.
In the meantime one cannot refrain
from wondering what that one major
lty would have meant if st. George
bordered on Burlington, burlington

Mr.. Roosevelt may have nothing to-

of the country seem. to have great
deal to add. The latest legislature to
be polled on the ogaestinn is tha5 of

For months now the great fnangial
interests have been ezer tipg all their
power TO. discredit Mr.. Roosevelt.
They have pictured him as,the assas-
sin of prospect y and menace to the
institutions Of the country. The
more bitterly they assail hina the more
popular the president becomes, and
his strength is GREATEST among. the
very classes that would be the first to
suffer from an ebb tide of prosperity.
His hold On the masses of the people
is stronger than it was when he, was
elected In 1904 by an unprecedented.
