was devoted to it's consideration.
Over 200 amendments have been pro-
posed to the bill. 1t may get through
the senate in some form but If it
does it must go to a conference COM
mittee before it can go to the house
again. Its passage by the house
in the amended form is not at all
probable.
No Platform Pledges.
1t is almost certain that not a
single party pledge will have been
passed by the senate when an ad-
journment is taken. There are about
60 bills of Importance on the senate
calendar, few of these will be passed
The Wardlaw-Cary local option
amendment bill Will not even be call
ed up for passage.
No Primary Agreement.
No meeting has been held by the
conference committees of the two
houses on the primary election law
measure since early yestrday morn
ing and it is not known when another
meeting will be held. No agreement
seems probable under any circum-
stances.
Helps Out The Fairs.
The house this morning passed a
number of appropriation bills includ-
ing the Skinner bill appropriating
5000 for the benefit of the state
and county fairs. This was final
passage for this bill.

A Brattleboro paper suggested
Charles H. Strong, cashier of the ma
tional bank of Vergennes, as candi
date for state treasurer. 1t is an open
question whether the Brattleboro con-
temporary really wants Mr.. Strong for
the office or whether it thinks that a
multiplicity of candidates for the var
ious offices will increase the chances for
trading delegates. At the last state
election Mr.. Strong was brought out as
candidate for treasurer at the eleventh
hour and made remarkable showing,
but as Mr.. Deavitt has given general
satisfaction in his administration of
the Office it is somewhat of a
question if another candidate would
stand much chance of getting the nomi
nation. There is no question, however,
of Mr.. Strong's fitness for the place and
his friends hereabouts would be glad to
see him elected.

Corn. Glover. Cows. Cash.

These four C's are not an accidental
ALTERATION. They are properly bound
together by a golden cord of union.
The corn plant increased our national
wealth $1,000, 720, 900 during the last
twelve months. Clover drew millions of
dollars worth of free nitrogen from the
air and enriched the soil by its roots alone
to the amount.of 100 lbs. of nitrogen,
or some 800 lbs of nitrate of soda to
the acre. The old COW used the clover
to help make herself balanced ration
and then gave to the world dairy pro-
ducts equal in value to about $500, 0O0-
600. These four C's, working together,
are cash letters.
How silently was this great work
done for the nation! No buster, or
blowing of trumpets. The corn leaves
rustled a little in the breeze, giving
sweet music to the farmers ear; the
clover searched quietly for food in the
earth, and sent up it's blossoming stem
to greet the sun, and unfold a flower
whose fragrance, if any, should i'm
paradise the earth. And the old COW
worked quietly and constantly like the
life-giving sun. Cash returns in one
year, as stated, about $500, 900, 600.
Blot from existence what the first
three C's stand for, and there would be
dark day for Wall street. Ships
would ply the sea unloaded. Steam en-
gines would cease to whistle Business
would languish and the nation itself
would tremble like bankrupt Raise
more corn. more clover, more cows,
and the wheels of business would again
resume their hum.
Indian corn has in it both gold and
poetry. Who is so un-American as not
to appreciate these lines:
Heap high the farmers wintry hoard,
Heap high the golden cornl
| No richer gift has autumn found,
From out her lavish horn
Still let the good old crop adom
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us, for His golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God!
Now is the clover plant deserving of
less honor true handmade of agmcul-
| ture Always, a pleasing mysticism
surrounds it, Little girls gather four
! leaved stems and predict good husbands.
! The clover field is the only place known
where pigs are said to be happy. "
There, too, the bumble-bees are ever
humning farmers friend, farmer 5
friend. It may be the the weakness
of age, but love clover
And wherever it blossoms, oh, there
let me bow
And thank the good God, as I'm thank
ing him now;
And pray to him still for the strength
when die,
To go out in the clover and tell it good
bye,
And lovingly nestle my face in its bloom
While my soul slips away on breath OF
perfume. -

ALCOHOLISM AND LONG WORDS.

President David Starr Jordan of Lee
land Stanford University is nothing if
not original. He has just developed a
new cure for the liquor habit.
Drink dispensing is illegal" said
DR.. Jordan in public address, but in
spite of this we have the evil. One of
the cures would be for a man to ask an
other in such language that the effect
of the drink would be shown before the
cause is absorbed Paralyzing the
phagocytis by drink means that we
destroy that part of us built for an
Initiating dangerous germs. The folly
of the habit is obvious.
The invitation to drink should be
conceded in some such phase as Come
on, old chap, let's paralyze our pha-
gocytis. DR.. Jordan quoted some
scientist to the effect that an invitation
to drink should be couched in scientific
language. That paralyzing the pha-
gocytis makes person more suscepti-
BILE to illness is indicated by the defini-
ton of the word, which is; "Phagocyte
A lymph corpuscle or white blood cor
puscle, regarded as an organism capa-
bic of devouring what it meets, especi-
ally pathogenic microbes,
Disease" said DR.. Jordan, lis due
to some plant or animal organism, and
now that we know the cause we may
stamp out the result. We must elimi-
nate unhealthy things. The man who
keeps near his neighbors pigsty where
disease may have its conception is as
much to be prosecuted as the man who
sets dynamite under your doorstep. -

New Hampshire people do not seem
to be especially enthusiastic over the
million dollar boulevards- permanent
trunk ighways- which their last legis-
lature voted to construct up and down
the east and west sides of the state.
When the scheme was being pushed
through the legislature its promoters
promised that the state bonds issued to
raise the necessary funds could be float
ed at three per cent. 1t is now stated
that there are no takers at that figure
and the rates are to be raised to three
and one-half per cent. with no assurance
that the bonds can even then be sold at
par. There seems to be a general feel
ing among the taxpayers of the Granite
state that the project was hardly wise
one, to say the least, at this time. YER
monters will do well to study the situa-
ton in the neighboring state before be-
coming enthusiastic over a bonding
scheme for trunk lines. 1t is quite
possible that the problem can be work
ed out more wisely in this state. North

President Thomas of Middlebury and
President Buckham of the University
of Vermont condemn football as it is
now played and demand reform or the
adjustment of the game. If these in
stitutions were to forbid the game, it
might have some effect in inducing re-
form. But will they? Is it not fact
that football, even as now played, is so
popular a sport among nearly all classes
that a college would be considerably
handicapped if it did not permit the
game ? 1t will take concerted action
among about all the leading institutions
to bring about a toning down of football
to point that lessons the danger fac
tor. And about that time football will
lose its drawing power, for the elements
that make it dangerous make it the
game it is. Randolph Herald.

DIR. John M. Thomas DR.. Thomas, by

that ''some outdoor exercise calling

es to Rev. S. w. Bidwell of East Mid

anniversary of his birth last Monday.
Not only has he attained this remark
able age but on the Sunday preceding
the birthday he made an address in the
Methodist church in East Middlebury,
and is apparently, good for some years
to come. Services performed at one
hundred and fifty weddings and about
four hundred funerals is an extraordinary
record for one clergyman, but such Mr..
Bidwell has to his credit. The fact that
he was born in Addison county and has
spent much of his life here may account
for his longevity.

No one will say that President Buck
ham of the University of Vermont is
opposed to a robust manliness that may
be bred or nourished in youth by vigor-
Gus athletic sports. There is still a
great deal of the hoy" bubbling over

er. And yet he says that football has
grown to be dangerous. No one will ac-
cuse President John NJ. Thomas of Mid
dlebury College of being mollycoddle.
His heart is young and his whole in
stinct pulses in rhythm with the coltish-
ness of the lads under his care. But he
says it is time to stop this reckless

The Nation and the State.

There is much talk here of the house
OF governors, which is to meet in
Washington from the 18th to the Goth
of January, and the comments are not
all friendly. Some congressman pro-
fess to believe that the new body may
encroach on the federal preserves
Those who have advocated the institu
ton OF the house Of governors have
taken quite a different view of it's
functions, believing it can fill in be
tween the powers that are strictly fed
eral in their character and those which
are usually exercised by the states. In
the very nature of the case the body
would be purely advisory. 1t has al
ready had two meetings, both at the
call of President Roosevelt. This time
the invitation comes from Governor
Wilson of Kentucky, and there is
even some question of propriety as to
asking the president at all for the very
reason that it is desired to keep the
national and state governments entire
ly distinct The two meetings before
held had as their chief topic the con
Servation OF natural resources This
will always be an issue before the
house of governors if the body should
become a fixture; but. in addition,
many other topics will be taken up,
such as uniformity of marriage and
divorce laws. eXtradition. criminal
statutes, railroad and trust regulation
and similar measures belonging to the
states in contradistinction to the ma
tional government.
1t is easy to see how such congress
Of executives could do much good in
filling up the gap. the somewhat shad
owv bordcrland left by the constitution
between the nation and the state. 1t
certainly can occasion no harm, since
the governors can do nothing more
than recommend to their respective
legislatures, in which is lodged the
final power of action.
