IL is an absurd proposition, and one di'
rectly in conflict with the old saying that
what is worth doing at all is doing well.
Voting $4,000 for the purpose Of paying
for tubereulous cattle is an admission that
the disease ought TO be eradicated in the
opinion OF the legislators, yet what do
they expect such sum will accomplish in
the course OF year when in the two
months ending Dec. over 1000 cattle were
found TO be infected and were killed. at a
cost TO the state of something over s23,OOO!
i
these animals, s2l6l, cannot fairly he
called excessive, neither is there any rea-
son to believe that they ought to have
been allowed TO live. As the Messenger
says, il the state intends to help stamp
out bovine tuberculosis it should take hold
of the proposition in way that VIII
bring about results. If $4,000 is the limit
that can be spent for the purpose the
money would better be used in educating
the public Teach the people to refuse all
milk except that produced from herds that
are guaranteed free from disease and tn
berculous cattle will soon disappear. The
process of such an education would no
doubt bring about big advance in the
price of dairy products, for the burden of
keeping his herds free from disease would
fall wholly on the producer, but the pub
lie could well afford the additional amount
If it were sure of what it was buying.

An amusing story is told at Montpelier
of legislator from Lamolle county. Ac-
cording to the legend the "Spunky
Lamoille' lawmaker shortly after the
shades of night had fallen, made his way
into a night lunch cart of the presidential
brand and took a vacant seat. After a
few moments the chef leaned over and ask.
ed for his order whereupon the lawmaker
replied, Il want to go to Barre" This is

National and state politics ought never
to be made test of personal allegiance in
city or town business. There is not the
slightest identity of the issues involved. A
voters belief upon the tariff or currency
or empire or any other national policy
ought not to determine his relation to the
city issues. The fact that the local repnb-
lican machine, as such, chooses to be iden-
titled with city issues does not in the
slightest make a republican any the less
republican if he bolts the action of that

politics is not tainted particle.

MEET IN CITY COURT ROOM
Banquet Is Proposed to Which Promi-

In Near Future.

There will he important meeting
of the young republicans in Hammond
tomorrow evening in Judge McMnhan's
city court room on the first floor of the
Superior court house.
The meeting has been called by Sec
rctnry Fred Crumpacker of the county
central committee for the purpose of
organizing young mems republican
club.
There has been more than an ordinary
amount of interest taken by young re-
pubicans in politics this year and it is
expected that the club will be success
fully organized and will rapidly in
crease its membership.
Plenty of Interest shown.
The fact that there is a national cam
paign on and that the Calumet region is
to be invaded by the greatest array Of
political speakers that have ever vis-
tied this part of the state means that
there will he greater interest than ever
and there is not a young man in Ham
mond who values his newly acquired
citizenship who will not be interested in
the campaign and election
There will he more first voters this
year than ever before in the history
If the republican party and it has been
suggested that first voters marching
club be organized as an adjunct to the
young mems republican club
1t Is certain that there will be more
attention paid to the young voter in
Lake county than ever before. Instead
of simply coming around and giving the
members Of the club the glad hand and
good cigar County Chairman Richard
Schaaf proposes to outline a certain
amount of political work for the mem
bers of the club and make them a real
factor in the coming contest.
PInn Fine Banquet.
1t is possible that a banquet may be
arranged in the near future at which q
speaker of national Importance will ad-
dress the young men of Hammond ex.
iclusively and according to the prelim
mary plans there is going to be enough
doing within the circles Of the club L
