THE INJUNCTION QUESTION

Tt is never possible to make a successful
nartv issue out of something that is not intrin-
sically partisan in it's nature Or bearings. The
Injunction question is not fitted to be the sub
iect of party contention, and it does not so lie
in mems minds. All good citizens want court
processes to be fair and just. There is no diff
ference between Republicans and Democrats in
this regard Everybody believes that Mr. Taft
by virtue of his judicial experience is rather
better acquainted with this subject in all its
bearings than Mr.. Bryan. He has expressed
himself very definitely on the subject in recent
speeches, and we shall have heard from him
again in his letter of acceptance All OF his
Dublic experience has shown him to be not
only man of fairness and judicial mind, but
also man of generous heart and large SYM
pathies He could not possibly wish, OF course,
to be unfair to workingmen whether organized
in trade unions or otherwise. The people OF
the United States cannot bring themselves to
the point of fretting and worrying about
question of this kind. Nor anybody dra-
COON them into making party question out OF
movement by giving greater precision and
regularity to the methods by which the judges
act in certain matters of court procedure. Our
tribunals OF JuStlCe are upon tHe "holo Feiy
well meaning, and made up of men OF high
average ability. Mr. Taft is in favor of some
legislation on the subject of injunction, and so
is Mr. Bryan. Those who take the question
deeply to heart would do we'll to ascertain the
views of candidates for Congress. No Con-
gresham will consider himself in any way
bound by the injunction planks of either the
Chicago or the Denver platform From "The
Progress of the World" in the American Re
view of Reviews for August.

At Alexandria, the temperance people have
organized corporation and will publish a
newspaper there to advocate their cause. Alex
andria already has two good papers and an
other there is not business proposition. 1t will
probably continue to exc out existence
long after it's usefulness political or
gan is gone, and finally succumb to the in
evitable. Politics and publishing are two diff
ferent businesses; and the time has gone by
when newspaper is unduly partisan in it's ex-
pressons or is supported because of it's politics
Any party desired newspaper publicity and
without newspaper favoring it's views should
simply purchase space in some established
newspaper A small part of what it costs to
establish newspaper would purchase an enor-
NOUS amount of space and give the matter con-
tanned therein wider circulation than new
paper can give.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

Now is the time of the your for parents to
begin planning seriously about the schooling
of their children. We want to urge upon all
farmers the value and importance of agri-
cultural education for both their boys and girls.
The State Agric ultural School at St. Anthony
Park, between Minneapolis and St. Paul, is
institution of growing popularity as it's useful
ness has been demonstrated. 1t is no longer
debatable question to whether it pays to
study agriculture scientifically, there are no
two sides to the question. The farmer who
does not try to keep up with the advance of
agricultural science is longer farmer, but
just ordinary every day drudge or beast of
burden; he has no right to sit in the seat with
farmers and this condition becomes amplfied
more and more the years 60 by. The boy
and girl of today will be the farmer and the
farmers wife of the next ten or fifteen years:
and the parent who neglects to equip his child
rem with tue sufficient knowledge of practical
nature to enable them to become real farmers
of the next generation is culpably negligent of
his duties.
The agricultural school takes the place of
an ordinary high school. The qualifications
necessary for admission to it are practically the
same as those which admit child into high
school Many of the regular high school stud
les are taught at the agricultural school. In
addition to the studies taught the princi-
Piles of botany of practical agriculture, of the
handling of soils and of the breeding of stock.
The girls taught practical housekeeping.
The whole fundamental basis of the agriculture
al school course is the practicability of what
ever is taught. No time is wasted dead
languages but every hour is devoted to live and
vital subjects of direct value to the students.
The cost of the course in the agricultural
school is not at all prohibitive: any active boy
or girl can the money in vacation if given
an opportunity by their parents. 1t costs about
500 year for all expenses, including railroad
fare board laundry, tuition, books and every
thing else and the graduate goes back to the
old farm to new farm of his own, or her
own equipped to farm intelligently, to enjoy
work because it can be done with a knowledge
of why it is done so and with an appreciation
of the possibilities of producing results which
are impossible to the ignorant or unedncated
farmers of the past generation. This does not
take the place of experience, but it supplements
Experience and adds zest to the farm work
which is ripened then by further experience. A
course of from two to four years in the agricu1-
tural school is worth more than an academic
course in any university for the boy or girl
who intends to be farmer-Northwest

The lists for the primary election on Sept.
18th are now closed and the prospects are that
in this county at least there will be very little
interest aroused.
The nomination of John A. johnson for
third term as governor is a confession or weak
ness on the part of the Democratic party, and
reluctance of Mr. Johnson to run again is
confession of the realization of his own weak
ness The Democrats nominated johnson be-
cause they had no other candidate who could
or would make the race, but johnson had no
desire to run simply because he knew that this
wear he would have to run on his merits, ana
would not receive the election as rebuke to
one faction of the majority party as was done
four years ago, or as a second term courtesy as
was done two years ago.

While the present crop that is being har-
vested is not as good was expected, yet with
the good prices prevailing, the people OF this
section of the country most unfortunate.
business conditions in the cities of the East
are poor and in the manufacturing centres
there are many idle men, and in the extreme
West much the same conditions prevail. Min
nesota and the middle West produce the COM
modities for which there is steady demand,
and does not feel the pancs which afaict other
portions of the country, and it is but little af-
fected comparatively when the rest of the
country is suffering from the greatest de-

STOLE NINETEEN CENTS.
Thieves Entered Dewitt Grocery Co. IS
Plant Wednesday Night.

Burglars entered the building of the
De Witt Grocery company on Flat
street Wednesday night. The extent
of the plunder amounted to 10 cents and
possibly box of cigars. Entrance to
the building was gained through rear
basement window. Two panes of glass
and a part of the sash were found
broken yesterday morning. The burg
lars had no difficulty in gaining the
floor above. The Office doors were left
unlocked as was also the cash drawer.
Nineteen cents was left in the cash
drawer and this was missing. 1t is not
known whether any cigars were taken
or not. 1t is perfectly evident that the
break was made by boys. No doubt the
burglars are in close touch with Chief
of Police j. ii. Evans S movements and
when he is on one part of his beat the
young men find ample opportunity to
operate. 1t has been suggested that an
additional man be placed on the streets
nights until the offenders are brought
to Justice 1t is practically impossible,
merchants believe, for Chief Evans to
capture the men alone. 1t has been
limited that the bailiffs might do well
to follow the suggestion of the mer-
chants.

SENT TO INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
Leon Bushee, Is, Raised the Amount
of Pay Check.

Leon Bushee, Is, was sentenced We'd
nesday by Judge f. w. Gibson to the
Vermont Industrial school during the
remainder of his minority, for petty
larceny. Bushee was arrested in the
Vermont national bank Wednesday af-
ternoon by Deputy Sheriff c. l. Knapp
after the young man had attempted to
cash a check which had been raised.
Bushee was employed by the White
River Chair company and was given a
pay check to the amount of $1.92. The
check was dated July s, 1908 and was
signed by F. A. Thompson, treasurer.
1t was evident that the figure l and
the word one had been erased and that
the figure and the written word four
had been substituted. All of the writ
ing on the check had been traced over
in a clumsy manner. When the check
was presented to Cashier c. w. Rich
ardson his suspicious We're Immediately
aroused and he at once telephoned Mr..
Thompson to ascertain who the boy was
and the amount of the check rendered
him. When Mr.. Richardson was in
formed that the amount of the check
was $l92 instead of $4.92 he sent for
the sheriff, who Immediately placed the
boy under arrest.
The municipal court does not have
jurisdiction over case where the re-
spondent is charged with forgery and
it did not seem advisable to send the
boy to the county Jail to wait trial. He
is an orphan and has been living with
his sister, Miss Jennie Bushee. He
came with his sister to this town from
Concord, Mass, about two months ago.
The warrant upon which Bushee was
arrested contained another charge, that
If petty larceny. He had taken "a
'ents from the trousers pocket of Pat
'ick Lynch at the shop that morning
Ind was ready to plead guilty to the
'ffense. Upon the recommendation of
state S Attorney R. G. Bacon the charge
f forgery was continued and sentence
imposed on the other count. Deputy
sheriff Knapp took the respondent to
vergennes yesterday.

Fight Over Charge of Powder.

William Hall of West Dummerston was
brought before Judge E. w. Gibson Mon.
day morning charged with disturbance of
| the peace by committing an assault or
Arthur Wilson, Saturday morning. and
was fined IS and costs amounting to
SS.9l. According to Wilson's. story. the
trouble began at o'clock Saturday
morning in front of the pool room in
West Dummerston. Wilson was one of
number of young men in West Dunn
merston who had been celebrating the
Fourth by firing cannon. After sew
eral charges had been shot during the
night it was agreed that the remainder
of the ammunition should be saved until
afternoon. William Hall came along at
this time and asked if he might fire the
cannon. Hall then took the cannon and
prepared to load it. Wilson offered to
let Hall have fuse when some disagree
to the way to load the cannon. At this
point Hall demanded some powder of
Wilson, who said he had none. Hall
emphatically declared that Wilson had
some powder in his pockets, and there
upon struck Wilson in the eye. Wilson
then asked Hall to search him to see if
he was telling the truth, but Hall replied
by striking Wilson terrific blow which
broke the mans nose. The trouble would
have been settled then had not Hall ap-
peared at later hour in the day with
a view of engaging in another fight with
Wilson.
At o'clock Saturday evening Wilson
determined to put an end to the affair, |
and caused warrant to be sworn out |
against Hail. Deputy Sheriff Adm Fl. |
Miller, of East Dummerston, arrested the
and brought him to the police
station in Brattleboro, where he was
kept until his trial Monday.

Editor of Reformer:
In your issue of the Sd you were
kind enough to credit whatever support
Col. Haskins received from Orleans in
a large measure to me. 1t is true that
from first to last l was his earnest sup
porter, believing that the splendid serv-
ice he has rendered this district and the
commanding position he occupies in the
house of representatives deserved re-
My efforts were of little
avail and what 1 tried to do turned out
in almost every instance.
Several warm admirers and earnest
friends of Col. Haskins in Barton, Clio

more than / was able to do and to them
should be given the credit and not to
myself. Respectfully yours,
