BARRACKViLbE, NOT. 2S.--fn the
fall Of 1921, about ESQ years ago, the
first Thanksgiving Day was observed
by the Plymouth colony. They had
harvested their first crop in the new

they set a day on which they would
all meet together and offer up thanks
for their success.
Governor Bradford sent out hunters
to procure game that the day might

of the harvest.
In 1851 the coloulsts had long been

there was great distress, and a day

WEEK IN THE WORLD.
Great Events and Movements Which
Are Making History.

An attempt on the part of the Jap
anese delegates to the Hague confer
ence to secure consideration for a
proposition to recognize as tenet of
international law the right of a bel
hgerent to retain possession perma-
nently of the territory of its opponent,
which it occupied at the time of the
making of peace, is foredoomed to fail
ure. in the opinion of the officials at
Washington. There are several rea-
sons for this opinion. In the first place,
it is pointed out that while in accept
ing the Russian invitation to The
Hague, Japan, while reserving to her
self the right to introduce special
subjects for consideration, qualified
this statement with the condition
that this should be done only after
reasonable notice" 1t is believed
at Washington that it is now too late
for any such notice, in view of the
fact that all of the powers to be rep
resented at the conference have passed
upon the details of the program and
have suitably instructed their dele
gates. Another reason is that politl-
cal topics were especially barred in the
invitation to the conference and as
this japanese proposition would tend
to reopen questions supposed to have
been settled by the Portsmouth treaty,

The Burlington Free Press urges the
anpointment of a Vermonter to the va
cancv on the bench caused by the
death of Judge William II. Townshend
of New Haven, Conn, of the second
circuit court. We should like to have
this appointment come to Vermont,
too. but we have no sympathy with the
feeling that "long standing wrong
would thus be righted. Vermont is a
small state and a state of small towns;
there are few lawyers here compared
to New York (thank Heavenly and it
is not remarkable that New York
should have received the appointment
for the second district six times in SIX
tv wears TO three times for Connecticut
and none for Vermont. 1t is only fair
to Vermont, however, for President
Roosevelt to look about and see If
there are any judicial minds in this
state at the disposal of the second cir
cult court, before passing the job out
to another New Yorker, If the APP
pointment is made on a purely political
basis, Vermont will stand no chance of
recognition.

COMMANDED by n reproduction of map
of fine state from an atlas of 1876. Not
enough money is available for the cen
sus bureau to publish all the schedules
in existence during the present year;
and additional authority will be re-
ouired to permit such publication IN
future years. The three states above

will be of great genealogical interest
and of considerable historic value. In
the introduction, which is printed in
each volume, brief outline of the
scope of and the methods of putting
into operation the first census in l'9O
is given. The total population was near
" four million, of whom about half a
million were heads of families. Be-
cause of the destruction Of some OF
the schedules only about 100000 names
are available. The first census report
was a volume of Sc small pages and
did not contain the names of the orig

first time The population of Vermont
was 5,425, of whom 16 were classified
as "slaves.'' This was afterward
found to be an error, the l6 persons
having been returned in the original
as "free colored,n Therefore, the
record does not show that there were
ever any slaves in Vermont.

Last week at Fitchburg, General
Charles w. Bartlett of Boston an
nounced without reservation or equiv
ocation that he was and would con
tinue to be to the bitter end a candi-
date for the democratic nomination
for governor of Massachusetts. His
attitude is antitrust and for reciproc-
itv and revision of the tariff. The sup
port that may be behind Gen. Bartlett
or the degree of favor in which he may
stand with those men in the party who
are popularity supposed to control it,
both seem to be doubtful. There is
one important point, however, about
which there is no more doubt than
there is about the announcement of his
candidacy-and that is that Gen. Bart
lett will make an almighty good gov
ernor of the Old Bay State-if he gets
a chance.

Must Speak Sooner or Later.

(GrOtOn llmCS')
No one questions the right of Lieut.
Gov Prouty to remain silent on the
question of his candidacy for governor.
The Times does not see, however, any
cause for plaudits in his silence, or any
reason for ecstasy on the part of the
sponsors of his governorship BOOM
There seems to be well defined plan
on the part of corporation influence
and administration politicians to get
his name before the people as the can
didate and demand his recognition by
the voters. This view may be wrong
but indications are strong that way. II
this is so. it would be well for his
sponsors to bear in mind that the vot-
ers in Vermont today are far different
ly inclined than they were a few years
ago. Then demand for recognition
from those high inthe counsels of the
party meant spontaneous approval.
Now candidate must present good
and sufficient reasons for recognition,
hence. under existing conditions, 1t IS
not only entirely proper but quite es-
sentiaI that a candidate should state
his standing on the question. His
sponsors may put Mr.. Prouty's candl
dacy in cold storage, asserting cit $
too early, = but there will come time
when he must speak, for the voters arc
now doing the demanding act and not
the politicians.
