SETTLED AT LAST.

1t was sure to come, and the Benning-
ton Banner is responsible for it. Some
weeks ago The Banner made the state
ment that to the St Adams Messenger
was due the honor of first proposing
the Vermont Champlain celebration
This'had no more than gone the rounds
of the state press when the Nergennes
Enterprise came forward with a modest
claim to the honor, in that it had pro-
posed it as far back as February, 1908.
And now The Messenger comes back to
its honors again by reprinting an edi-
torial from that paper of the date of
Oct. 81, 1902, in which it proposed the
celebration. TO Editor Green certainly
seems TO belong the honor Of first pro
posing the celebration, but Editor Nc
Cuen, as representative, still has the
honor of being the father of the bin I'm

ebration. Barre Times.

OPEN SEASON NEAR.

The near approach of the open season
for candidates for the governorshp is
the reason, perhaps, of the flutterings
noticeable at this time. When the Fish
and Game League summer gathering
has come and gone, then watch out for
real candidates. But anticipating the
conclusions that will be reached at this
meeting to pledge anew our support of
the fish and game laws of the State.
The Times wants to make the predic-
ton that the process of elimination will
leave but two with wings unclipped to
continue the flight with any prospect of
success. Who are they? One is the
successful road builder from Franklin
county, who flutters with such evident
fear at the least mention of the gov
ernorship and his name jointly, and the
other is the man from Bennington who
put in the greater part of a year and a
half studying tax problems for which
the State hasn't yet even thanked him.

Vermont Forest Service.

The Vermont Forest service is rapidly
coming to be vital force in Vermont
The State Forester with his offices in the
Morrill, II al. Burlington, is doing much
painstaking work, and rendering valua-
BILE assistance and advice to those inter
ested.
At the nursery they have about mil.
lion forest seedlings growing many of
which are ready for setting.
In different parts of the State small
tracts and some large ones have already
been set with these seedlings One min
lister has started TO reset 5000 acres
which have recently been deforested by
the old and criminal methods. Several
ladies also have commenced reforester-
ing hill pastures owned by them.
The Forestry showing at the Vermont
Exhibit Is one of the most novel, and
valuable exhibits there, and it is attract
ing wide attention from our own people
as well as those from abroad. The
service also shows good number of
colored pictures on the screen which
will illustrate the methods, etc. of true
forestry. The educational value of this
exhibit will prove far reaching.
This exhibit is grouped with the
i. V. NJ. exhibit which Is distinctevely
an industrial exhibit that is accomplish
ing splendid results.

Sheldon, the enthusiast, who is run
ming the Greater Vermont Exhibit at
Burlington, continues to keep the mat

the newspapers, which he keeps in

of his this weeks contributions follows:
'Some of the state papers have com
menced knocking the Normal Schools

The editor who INDUCES in such writing
surely has not seen the splendid indus

have made at the Vermont Exhibit.
Every educator who has seen this ex-
eibit speaks in the highest terms not
only of the work shown but of the re-
suits that must follow such painstaking
training. To be sure drawing Lions"
may not fit one to farm but the skill
developed by the sixteen year old girl
who drew that Lion surely will fit her
to do better things than knocking one of
our growing educational institutions, -
it is laying a broad and lasting fOunda-
ton for useful and valuable life that
will help develop a broad and useful
citizenship. If you haven't seen the
Normal Exhibit at Burlington do so at
your first opportunity, and refrain from
unfavorable comment at least until
having seen same. The Normal Schools

One little significant straw that points
the all too prevalent direction of the
American mind is tucked away in these
words in Vermont newspaper head
line Statement by Millionaire -
at ---." The Messenger does not
assume to pose as an authority on head
writing and does not venture this com
ment in that spirit. 1t recognizes the
fact that the newspaper man simply
followed the line of least resistance and
employed the coloqualsm that we hear
all around us in this country every day.
But, for all that, the colloquialism is a
vulgarism, as The Messenger views it,
and one that does not correspond at all
with our oft emphasized pretentions of
American democracy.
Why should we say Millionaire" So
and-So any more than "Fifty-dollar'
So-and-So, or Ten Cent" So-and-So,
or "Deadbroke" So-and-So? Why
should we Americans be so apt to esti-
mate mans consequence by the amount
of money he has, or designate and iden-
tify him in the public mind by the
amount of money he has? Why should
we measure everything by the s$?-St

Three Millions Attend Consump-
ton Exhibits.

Evidence of the popular interest in
the anti-consumption crusade is given in
a statement made today by the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, to the effect
that during the year ending August 81,
nearly 5000, 900, people have attended
tuberculosis exhibitions in various parts
of the country.
Besides the three travelling tubercu-
losis exhibitions of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis, there are twenty eight
exhibits of this kind in various parts of
the country. Four years ago there
were only three such displays in the en-
tire country.
Over 300, 900 people have attended the
three travelling exhibits of the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, which have visited
ten different states and territories dur
ing the year just closed. The three ex-
hibits are now stored for the summer
months.
The Southern Exhibit has been shown
in Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and
Georgia in ten different cities and has
been viewed by about 100000 people.
Thousands of others have been reached
by the literature and posters distribut-
ed, so that the number of people who
have been educated directly or indirectly
about tuberculosis by this exhibit is
considerably over 300, 600.
The Western Exhibit of the National
Association has worked during the past
year mainly in Kansas, Nebraska and
Northern Missouri. In all, fifteen. cities
have been reached and over 10, 600 per
sons have visited the exhibit.
In Porto Rico, the Spanish Exhibit OF
the National Association, the first of its
kind has met with decided success.
Twenty-Five cities, including about one
third of all the towns in the Island
were visited and over 100, 600 people
viewed the exhibit The poor transit

Not the Brown Tail Moth.

State Forester A. F. HAYES, in CO.
operation with Prof. William Stuart,
State nursery inspector, has investigated
the reported brown tail moth outbreak
in Waterbury. No traces of the brown
tail or its work were found. The insect
responsible for the report is the fall web
worm, which has been known in YER
mont for several years. 1t appears from
time to time in considerable numbers
and remains for a few consecutive years,
when it disappears as suddenly as it
came. In most instances the work of
the fall webworm is not as destructive
as that of many other leaf eating insects.
At this time of year there should be
no difficulty whatever in distinguishing
the fall webworm from the brown tail
moth. While both insects are in the
larva, or caterpillar stage, the webworm
is from one-half to one inch in length
and the brown tail caterpillar is only
from One-twelfth to one-fifth of an inch
long.
At the present time Vermont is the
only State of the New England group
that has not become the hostess Of the
dreaded brown tail and only extreme
precautions and watchfulness on the
part of all the people, but more especially
those living in Windsor and Windham
counties, near the infested localities in
New Hampshire and Massachusetts, can
the presence of this unwelcome visitor
be discovered.
If there is any suspicion on the part
of any one in the State that they have
81. g.l
in any doubt as to the identity of an
insect they should at once forward spec
linens in perfectly secure cases to the
experiment station, Burlington. AL
though there is no occasion for any
alarm from this source. say these men,
we are near the infected States of New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, and it
behooves us to postpone as long as pos
sible, the entrance into Vermont.

from the public in general. This from
the Randolph Herald is right to the
point:
"If the plain Republican voters of
the whole country ever get chance to
express their opinion direct upon Joseph
G. Cannon, speaker of the House
they will swat him good and
hard. They will never stand for lead
er of his despotic tendencies, even
though he possesses a unique and, to
his near friends and associates, likable
personality. Cannon is as ruthless as
Gengis Kahn toward his opponents, and
acts with vindictiveness that stamps
him as man of really small calibre.
He displaced three heads of committees
in the House, admittedly because these
men favored revision of the rules, put
ting in his own creatures. This is the
kind of Sulla that leads the Republi-
can majority around by the nose in the
House, ruling them by fear and favor. "
The republican voters of the whole
country are not liable to get a chance
to express their opinion direct in any
way that Joseph will mind, but if the
voters of his congressional district
should see fit to elect his successor
there are many throughout the country
who would not clothe themselves in
sack cloth and ashes.

The +. B. Ellis Granite Co., Mortified,
has just completed a part of what is
considered the largest contract ever
taken in statuary granite cutting The
contract calls for six statues, repre-
senting Ceres "Imagination," Flee
tricity, Fire, Mechanics" and Free
dom" to be placed over the center pavil-
ion of the Washington union station,
Washington, d. c., and all to be cut
from Bethel white granite.
The contract was closed two years ago
and only two of the statues have been
completed during the time. The six
statues contain approximately 5000 Gu
bic feet of granite.
Each statue contains $50 cubic feet
and is II feet, four inches high, eight
feet, SIX inches wide, six feet thick, and
weighs IS tons. The two statues which
have been completed are Ceres and
"Imagination." and they have required
the work of three men for two years at
at estimated cost for labor of So, 600 for
each statue, or $50, 900 for the six.
These statues are all of the same size
and designated by ST. Louis Gangeus.
The carving is being done by Andrew
Bernasconi, who has been in the employ
of the Ellis company for several years.
/ The two statues have been examined and
accepted by Mr. St Gaudens, who paid

Goats as Trail m q kers.

The brush eating instinct of the An
CORA goat is being successfully demon
strated on the Lassen National Forest
in California where they are cutting
trails for fire guards through the brushy
areas on the slopes of the mountains.
The animals, which number 5000,
have been divided into two bands and
under the care of the herders are grazed
within certain well defined areas so
that their work may be concentrated on
the brush within those limits. The re-
suit is that they have practically killed
nearly all the brush in the course either
by eating it up entirely, or by barking,
as in the case of the heavy manzanita
bushes. At the beginning of the eX-
pertinent there was some doubt as to
the goats willingness to eat the man
zanita, but it has been found that where
there is little else they will just as
readily attack it as any other bushes.
The grazing season was so late this
year on the Lassen Forest that the
goats did not begin operations until
ABOUT lne nluule OF June, out since lnen
they have made rapid progress and the
result prsmises to be a success from
every point of view. The trails will
first be opened and then kept free of
sprouts. by the goats, saving the Gov
eminent considerable labor in cutting
them out by hand as has been done
heretofore, while the brushy forage
which otherwise would have been
wasted will support 5000 goats very
comfortable.

Only so per cent. of those taking eX-

the rural pupils who are taking eXamin-

to pass. There is a good stiff examina-

optometry in the state . too. Why
wouldn't an examination for driving an
automobile in the public highway be "a
proper thing? There are certain me-
chanical principles and qualifications a
licensed automobile operator should
understand and have. Because a child
