St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1908-11-25

A trade paper published in theinterests
of painters has written us to urge i'm
mediate communication with one of
the House committees to help defeat a
certain bill. We have not examined into
the merits of the BILL but we were
amused at one statement in the letter
which said. Your representative will
vote on this bill Tit is recommended by
the General Committee" The editor of
the western journal evidently has not
watched the operations of the 1908
Legislature and the House has again
and again passed a bill against the COM
mittee's recommendation and defeated
bills that committee has recommended
should pass.

MiSSOuri'S Governor.

Missouri gets in Hon. Herbert S.
Hadley it's first republican governor in a
third OF century and the vote of St,
Louis turned the scale in his favor, He
will be governor of great state con-
tanning over 100000 people and it is

OF his expected achievements in this line

The people trust him upon the plat

service, with a devoted effort to insure
that every citizen of the state and all its
interests shall have fair deal.

That evidently is the doctrine of a
man who has succeeded and his success
has been based on the principles he has
expressed above. Note that it is not
advice to the capitalist and the manu-
facturer any more than it is to the
common laborer. Substitute the name
of your town or city and apply it to
yourself and you transform yourself
into a useful citizen. Look at the men
in your community who are succeeding
and you will find they are working on
the same principles. If they succeed by
following them you ought to. The
general adoption of them will make the

THE COTTON CROP

Now that the year 1907 is past,
how many bales Of cotton will the
government report give us, and
what will be the report from other
sources? There remains very little
in the gin houses, and virtually
nothing left in the fields. During
the past week, the market has
shown but a small increase in pri-
ces. OF the entire crop, from last
estimates, it is short about two
million bales, and, we may say,
fully two-thirds, if not more, has
been marketed. When the antici-
pated price Of fifteen cents per
pound is reached, should it be SO,
there will be but very little Of the
feecy staple left. We are patiently
awaiting the results of the out
come.
Will the price of. manufactured
goods remain at it's present in
creased price, or will there be a
reduction?
If we mistake not, from what
we can understand, our farmers
are being forcibly reminded that
their crops must be diversified, as
is already being spoken OF in other
parishes, not only here in Louis
lana, but in other cotton states.
Outside of truck farming, what
we need most is a sugar refinery.
They have them all along the
lower parish and coast, and we
have no complaint from them in
way of remuneration. Our lands
here are we'll adapted for the cult
ure of cane, and we may say will
compare favorably with any OF
those engaged in that industry.
Now would be the propitlous
time to agitate the move, as the
farmers have not yet commenced
field operations. The most of them
have a little cane, and would be
encouraged to save the seed,
should they know that there
would be a demand for marketing
this product.
By all means, let US have a re-
hnery. It will be money for the
farmers and a paying investment
to whoever will put up a refinery.
Let it be done-the sooner, the
better.

sc AYE
f@. Allen, representative Of
al manufacturers, has re-
eaved the following letter from a
New York concern, which, COM
inc from the center Of the present
financial disturbances, is taken
4 as an evidence Of the sentiment
prevalent in that city regarding
present conditions: ..
"When a man lives too high for
| fifteen years natures health officer
| sobers him down with a visitation
Of govt. That makes him stick to
Main cooking and lie around the
house until he gets over it. Govt is
what ais Uncle Sam just now. The
Grand old rascal has been living too
high and he's got to keep his foot IN
IN q sling until he works the frappe
out of his blood. Don't let any old
foggy diagnostician tell you that
its compound locomotor ataxla::
Uncle Sam has a rich gentlemans'
swollen foot-and that IS all there
is to it. His money is sound and
his head is clear, and you can
gamble your whole stock that ne
will be on the job in time to boom
Christmas trade in every corner
Of the United States. Let the hair
hrained gutter sit tight on his
money and wait for things to hap
pen. The resourceful man who
sizes up the situation will go about
his business and sell goods. Every
live merchant should keep ever,
lastingly before the public, and
when the people are ready to buy
| they will have a clear idea where
to go. The gutter who drops out
Of sight now will have to root for
his grub when the pendulum
swings back. A man can afford to
stop bursting only when he is
dead.

Our Need Of Water.

Psychologists tell us that the animal

would seem plausible that this guam

the animal economy in proper condi-
ton. For similar reasons it would
also appear plausible that should this
quantity in any way be greatly Re.
duced or diminished, either through
normal processes, this lost quantity
must Immediately be resupplied.

be permitted to be unduly PROLONGED

CONSUMPTION COSTS US A BILLION A YEAR.
Startling Statistics Brought Congress Professor


Washington, D. C.-Professor lrv-
ing Fisher, Of Yale University, read a
paper before the International Con-
gress on tuberculosis which created a
decided sensation. Professor Fishers
paper was on The Cost Of Tubercu-
losis," and he made the startling an
nouncement that The great white
plague costs in hard cash over one
billion dollars a year.
He estimated that consumption
kills $4,000 persons every year in
the United States. This is equal, he
SAID, to the deaths from typhoid
fever, diphtheria, appendicitis, mem
nights, diabetes, smallpox and cancer
all put together. Then again, he said,
it generally takes three years 10 die,
during which time the poor victim can
earn little or nothing
Five million people now living In
the United States are doomed to fill
consumptives' graves unless some
thing can be done to prevent it," de-
clared Professor Fisher. AS each
death means anxiety and grief for q
whole family, l estimate that there
will be over twenty million persons
rendered miserable by these deaths.
The scourge, he said, picks out rs
victims when they are young men and
young women, at the very time Of life
