Connecticut is having a hard time
reconciling itself to the snub Speaker
Cannon administered to Congressman
Il. ]. Hill of the House ways and
means committee, by ignoring pre-
cedent and passing over him to APP
point another man to the conference
committee on the tariff bill. Con-
necticut has a just grievance in this,
and many persons appear to think the
country at large has, too. But a
friendly hint to the Connecticut press
might suggest the possibility of max
ing too much of the matter Just now
when the accomplishment of a prin-
ciple of tariff reform is of greater inn
portance than the pTeferment of any
man When the tariff matter is over,
Speaker Cannon will still have to eX-
plain his failure to appoint Congress
man Hill and various other sins OF
omission and commission, doubtless.
In the meantime, there is the posi-
bility that over-emphasis of an affront
to localized public pride may benumb
the countrys appreciation of the
"standpat" trick that is supposed to
be involved in it.-St. Adams Messen-
ger.
Congressman Hill, who will be re-
membered as one of the ablest cam
paign orators wno ever spoke in Ben
nington, will remember with mixed
feelings that he voted for the re-elec-
ton of Cannon last March, as did our
own Congressman Foster though both
of them were credited with leaning
the other way until the list came. The
affront to Connecticut is nothing com
pared with the affront that congress
inflicted on the entire country when
it reelected Cannon speaker of the
House of Representatives.

Over at Brattelboro last week thir-
ty- three pupils from rural district
schools took examinations for admfs-
sion to the Brattleboro high school
and not a single pupil passed the ex-
animation. At first thought it would
seem as though this were severe re-
Election on the rural schools, but ac-
cording to competent judges on the
ground the failure was due to the diff
ficult character of the examination,
the questions for which were prepared
by the state superintendent of edu-
cation, which was entirely beyond the
capacity of the boys and girls from
10 to II years of age who took the eX-
animation. Among the questions
were these: Name three members
of the presidents cabinet" Describe
tne motions of the earth and state
what each produces; What was the
significance and about how long ago
arose the cry "Fifty-four, forty or
fight" What can you state in re-
gard to the development of tne rail-
way systems of the United States; F"
Draw a map of the town in which
you live, inserting roads public build
ings, rivers, ponds, lakes and noun
tains." Not one adult person out OF
fifty taken at random can answer
such questions as these correctly and
we doubt if one in ten of the gradu-
ates of the high schools in Vermont
this year can do it off hand. The idea
of propounding such questions to
children in the preparatory schools is
absurd. A person who can answer
questions on par with these is far
enough advanced not to need to go to
high school These pupils should be
given another chance with a series OF
questions based on the work they
have gone over

FIR lNE 3. HOWE. EaitOr and PubIisas'

We notice that the name of Ex-
Mayor Bigelow of Burlington APP
pears in about all the list of ;men-
toned" candidates for governor and
that the State press has said many
very complimentary things concern
ing his qualifications for the place.
One thing is certain If he should
become a candidate, he would make
them hustle as he is very popular in
Cnittenden county towns even if he
has mo barrel" to open.-Burlington

The practical politicians want
somebody with money enough to meet
what they call Legitimate expenses"
which Bigelow hasn't, and the politi-
clans seem to be the only ones inter-
ested so far. The voters of the state
of Vermont can have just as good a
governor as they will insist on hav-
ing If they sit back and let the
political wire pullers choose their
governor or other public servants
they will have just as good as they
deserve. Grumbling afterward won't
help them. Voters who neglect or
refuse to attend caucuses and take
part in elections should be disfran-
chised and tneir votes turned over to
the suffragettes.

The Vermont Militia

The time was and not so long ago
either, when tne annual muster of the
state militia was looked upon as a
grand lark by the boys and sometimes
something worse by the places where
the muster was held This is all done

These are friendly words and well
deserved. They are in refreshing con
trast to the superficial criticism of the
state militia that has so long been
characteristic of some newspaper wri-
tiers that apparently did not seek to
inform themselves very accurately
about the true condition of affairs be-

the failure TO take lively interest in

mournful as it is, is simply the result
of the curiously short sighted notions
and blunders of men that were cloth

not make the most of it. They did not
appear to grasp the true reason for be

they did not appear to arouse to

How We May Help Ourselves

The plan originated by L. d. Taft,
of this city. and presented to the
Board of Trade Tuesday evening,
whereby a working capital may be OBJ
tanned to aid new industries seeking
to locate here by the granting of loans
properly safeguarded, appears to be a
meritorious one. The general scope
already has been outlined in the news
columns of the Journal. So far as his
paper knows the idea is a new one in
Vermont and ought to result, if put in
to operation, in increasing in sub
stantial manner the number of indus
tries in Montpelier. The, members of
the Board of Trade are not asked for
gift-simply for loan, bearing IL
terest which shall supplement the
loans made by the banks. 1t is ex-
pected that the committee of the
Board of Trade controlling the fund
will use the same discretion in making
loans that bankers will use in similar
circumstances. One of the advantage
es of the scneme is that the fund can
be used over and over again for the
same good purpose This is a great
improvement over the circulation of
a subscription paper for contributions
to air in buying a site or in building
factory.
The Montpelier Board of Trade pro-
