STATE OWNS FAIR GROUNDS

When the State fair commission
throws open the gates to the fair
grounds at White River Junction
for the annual event which takes
place September 81, %, % and "a,
the people of the State will enter
upon State property, or, in other
words, their property.
The commission has lust re-
ceived from the Billings family of
Woodstock a deed conveying to
the State of Vermont Che fair
grounds at White River Junction.
The grounds contain SO acres.
When questioned regarding the
Billings gift, one of the State fair
commission said:
"While it is difficult always to
estimate the value of such pro-
perty, it is safe to say that the
grounds and buildings could not
be duplicated for fifty thousand
dollars. Not only is it a splendid
thing for a Vermont family to have
given to the people of the State
such a generous gift, but it sets a
great precedent for the future and
shows what can be accomplished in
little State like Vermont when
the mountain line is forgotten and
sectionalism and self-interest are
cast aside and the whole State
pulls together in the interest of
any State enterprise.
"There is no, question but that
the public spirit which prompted
the great gift of the Billings family
was largely due to the interest
taken in the State fair by the
people of Vermont and to the fact
that the undertaking was made
possible because the people as a
whole, both on the west side of
the State as well as on the east
side, have taken strong interest
in the success of the fair.
"The people of Vermont in Sep
TENDER will attend a fair held upon
grounds owned by them and in
which every person in the State
has as much interest as every
other person. This is one reason
why all should attend and make
it great State gathering"

BARRE Timeal

The efforts of the Brattleboro
board of trade to advertise Brattle-
boro and vicinity as a vacation
resort were So successful that
hotels, boarding-houses, etc., found
themselves overwhelmed with in
quiries and utterly incapable of
caring for all the people who an
nounced their intentions of spend
ing their vacations there The re-
suits were that the tide of summer
visitor traffic had to be turned
elsewhere, and Brattleboro and its
contiguous territory had to lose
considerably promised revenue this
year, while at the same time an
agitation was started for u large
summer hotel. Whatever of value
the advertising proved to be, it
showed conclusively that a great
number of people are DESTROYS of
spending their vacations in the
Green Mountains, and that as soon
as we can guarantee them reason
able accommodations, they will
come. Vacationists are seeking for
new locations for rest and recrea-
ton, and the majority of them are
firing of the crowed resorts, with
their busy whirl-something which
tired people wish to avoid. YER
mont is as yet not generally fire.

1t is a matter of regret that the
dramatic critic, William Winter,
has severed his connection with
the New York Tribune, all over the
matter of blue penciling his copy.
William Winter is a name which
stands high as a poet, an essay
ist a historian and a profound
student. He went on the Tribune
in the days when Horace Greeley
was at the helm, and his resigna-
ton removes the last one connec-
ted with the Greeley days of the
Tribune.

President Taft does not intend
to have the Census taking ma
chine turned into a political ma
chine if he can help it. He has
directed the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor to issue instruc-
lions forbidding any one connec-
ted with the Census, from super
visor to enumerator, from taking
any further part in politics while
he holds his office, further than
casting his vote. The order has
caused favorable and unfavorable
comment as every action of chief
executive is likely to do.

Rev. DIR. Thomas E. Green has
been investigating Japan, person
ally, and he gives five reasons why
war with that country is not to
be thought of. Japan cannot in
dulge in war-like thoughts, ibe-
cause of a crushing national debt
of a sentimental regard; because
this country is her best customer.
She needs our sympathy and aid,
and most important of all, because
the Japanese government and
people have much common sense.
And the saving grace of common
sense saves many a blunder.

1t seems the Ballinger-Pinchot
row will be settled by Congress
at the next session. Incl
cidently the land fraud issue will
come in for large share of at
tention. The Brooklyn Eagle, dis
cussing the recent incident, at the
Irrigation Congress at Spokane
says:
"The war on the land thieves
and water thieves, so skillfully in
trenched in official power in the
great North west, broke out in a
most sensational and unexpected
way in the Irrigation Congress at
Spokane.
The big corporations which seek
to secure government timber land
and sources of water supply were
supposed to have scored a most
important victory in the appoint
ment of Richard A. Ballinger of
Washington, as Secretary of the
Interior. Mr.. Ballinger's previous
official record showed that he
sympathized with the men of his
own country who sought to secure
these lands, rather than with the
effort OF the Roosevelt admins
tration to preserve sources of wa
ter power and of timber supply to
the people as a whole. Since his
appointment he has restored to
entry some 1S0,000,000 acres of the
public domain, which the Roose-
Welt administration had withdrawn
and it has looked as if the water
power and lumber companies were
to have things made easy for them
by this administration.
That outlook was clouded some
what by the attack upon them and
the defense of the Roosevelt poll
cies made by Forester Clifford
Pinchot at this Spokane congress.
The attack itself might not been
received by the delegates with an
enthusiasm which made a bad
quarter of an hour for Secretary
Ballinger and his explanation of
his official conduct. The rest of
the battle will be fought out at
Washington, d. c.
The Abruzzi-Elkins affair will not
down. 1t is said that the Duke will
be sent to Washington, as the Ital-
ian Ambassador, and that King Ed
ward, the great matchmaker of
Europe, who knows the value of
American fortunes in his Empire,
will intercede with the Dowager
Queen of Italy, in favor of the
union. And will they live happy
ever after if they wed? The course
of their love has run eventually
enough, so that it may be said, to
be the genuine article.
