CONSOLIDATING STATE BOARD OF
AGRICULTURE.

A proposition is on foot to consolidate
the Vermont state board Of agriculture,
which now nominally consists of FIVE
members, including the governor and tine
president Of the university of Vermont
and State Agricultural college, into
one man board This is an action SINH
lar to that recently taken with the state
cattle commission, there being now but
single cattle commissioner. The cher,
ard perhaps the only. reason for reducing
the state board of agriculture to single
commissionship is to secure retrenehmens
in expenses wherever feasible. Surely
that is commendable effort. The ques-
ton then arises whether the work when
naturally falls to the state board OF
agriculture can be done satisfactorily by
a single state agent. If it can be done
by single officer, with certain amount
Of clerical assistance, there certainly
can be no objection to the proposed
change.
The present duties of the state board
Of agriculture consist in laboring "for
the improvement of the general interests
Of husbandry, the promotion of agricui
tnral interests throughout the state, and
for the discharge of such other duties"
as specified, namely. holding one yearly
meeting in each county for the disseml-
nation Of agricultural education, the pre-
pairing Of an annual report and finally
the collecting of valuable information
about agriculture, mining and manufac-
turing for the purposes Of advertising
The state Of Vermont. There may be-
and undoubtedly are. some minor detairs
Of the state board of agriculture not
enumerated above. But those are the
hisf duties Of the state board of agri-
culture conducted at present by three
sslire members. with the governor and
be ofIieisl head Of the state university.
The members are paid four dollars day
for services rendered" and necessary
expenses" We find from the state au-
ditor's report for 1907 Is that the total
salaries Of the commission for last yeas
amounted to s6lo, which IS not a
startling figure. Nor is the total person
ri expense account OF S54e.56 startling,

ADDITION TO sANAToRIUM.
Dormitory to Accommodate Eight Wo-
men Patients at Pittsford.

Pittsford, Nov g. Work has been be
gun on new building on the grounas
of the Vermont sanatorium. The con
crete foundation is being laid southeast
of the main group Of buildings, among
the pines in front Of the women's cot
tage. II will be used as women's dor
mitory for eight patients. 1t will be one
story high and open on one side. with
a central sitting room, from which win
open air sleeping apartments along the
side. There win be heated dressing
rooms, lockers and other fixtures at tine
rear.
The building will be used only by the
stronger patients, those who have been
longest under treatment at the sanator
ium. As the institution has had its
full quota Of patients for several months
and there Is long waiting list Of many
more women than men, ii was decided
that by erecting the new structure the
demand could be more quickly met.

Britt came back, however, and fought

considerable section Of the spectators

BRYANs WELCOME HOME.
All Lincoln Turned Out to Meet Him
Last Night.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3.-The greatest
demonstration in the history Of Lin
coin was given 10 William J. Bryan by
his fellow townsmcn last night on his
return TO mis- home city at the close of
his campaign. Non.partisan in charac-
ter, it was participated in by Democrats
and Republicans and the Democratic
candidate was driven through streets
end cheered by almost the entire popu-
lation Of the city. The reception was
rendered 20 him as a citizen of Lincoln
rather than a candidate and in mis-
speech he avoided all references TO par
tisan issues. In the parade which fol-
lowed his automobile from the Union
station however many political trans
parencies were carried.
Mr. Bryan reached his nome city at
$3.50 O'clock last night on his special

this respect, that where one person could

VERMONT IN To-DAYs STRUGGLE

Vermont never felt her numerical in
significance in the nation more keenly
than she did to-day. With but four
votes in the electoral college and those
four nailed down, little Vermont was
small, extremely small, factor in the
struggle. But there are large and there
are small inches in the world, and Yer
mont is simply destined to I'LL one of
the smaller inches. There is as much
honor in filling its destiny well as there
is in the efforts of the great Empire
state to fill its particular niche in the
sisterhood of states. AS for the quality
of Yermont's service, there can be, we
believe, no complaint for the state has
ever been known to produce the highest
standard Of citizenship, the most patu-
otto fealty to the republic in peace and

strongest types of men. If, then, Yer
mont continues to maintain her quality
she will be fulfilling her destiny. Let

$4,000 for the State Fair7

The demand on the state for S. 900 a
year for the state fair, embodied in a
bill introduced In the House Wednesday
by Representative Bacon of Hartford, is
defensible by the men back of it on the
same grounds advanced BIZ the restaurant
keeper who charged Bill Nye "a for two
sandwiches. When Bill demurred volu-
bly, and demanded reason for the ex-
tortion the man behind the counter re-
piled: 1.-THE fact is, stranger need

ask the large sections Of the state which
now support the excellent fairs in Brat
tleboro, Barton, st. Johnsbury, Middle
bury and other places to come into COM
petition with a rival fed from the public
crib. The irony of the whole affair comes
in having these large sections, which
successfully maintain their own fairs,
pay their proportionate share OF giving
the state fair an unfair advantage.
Looked at in any hight, fair bounty
is a dangerous precedent. The state fair
is no more deserving of state support
than any one of half dozen other

survival OF the fittest prevail, and let
