A Personal Word.

On Sept. II, 1909, | sold my entire
interest in the corporation that pub
fishes the CALIFORNIAN to Hon. Walter ].
Bigelow of Burlington who begins his
duties next week as editor of this paper.
Mr.. Bigelow will move his family here
as soon as possible and become in every
sense an active and loyal citizen of St.
Johnsbury. For nearly 20 years night
editor of the leading daily in the state,
he comes to weekly paper with a
thorough knowledge of the work. AS
the former mayor of the city of Burling-
ton and a prominent figure in the
political circles of the state, he brings to
his new work a grasp OF public affairs
which will stand him in good stead, and
bespeak for him cordial welcome by
the citizens of St. Johnsbury and the
clientage of this paper
1t is naturally with much reluctance
that one lays down the pen after 20
years of continuous service. but having
recently been endorsed by the citizen Of
St. Johnsbury, irrespective of party, for
a federal office in this town, | feel
that in justice to the townspeople and to
the government am now serving that
l should give my undivided attention to
the post Office. Knowing so well the
character and ability of my successor, l
have no hesitancy in saying that | firmly
believe the traditions and ideals which
have made this paper leader in Yer
mont journalism for the past u years
will always be maintained by the new
editor, Mr.. Bigelow.

Library Work.

During the week of the Champlain cele-
bration at Burlington, a forestry ex-
hibit was one of the most interesting
and helpful of the many attractions. At
the recent meeting of the Vermont
Library Association in Middlebury, it
was announced that similar exhibits
might be borrowed from the State
Forester at Burlington; study clubs
librarians. teachers and others interested
in the subject should avail themselves o.
the opportunity to see and display this
collection. A list of books on trees and
forestry will appear in an early number
of the Bulletin issued by the Vermont
Board of Library Commissioners.
At the annual meeting in Mddebury
the prize of ten dollars that was offered
by the Vermont Library Association to
the member showing the best collection
of library items printed in the local
paper for the year was awarded to Miss
Kate |. Stewart of the Bristol Library
Honorable mention was given to the
Publicity collections of the librarians Of

the coming year, the regulations Of

with the inference that spiritual and
moral conditions hereabouts are not the
best. This incident has been banded
about the state all summer, and seems
to be creating real solicitude about the
final salvation of the community. In
order to add reality and further interest,
the Times offers S. for a good photo

use it in cut with a short history of the
boy and his family. Conditions are
certainly bad enough in some Of our
rural communities, but we do not be-
lieve they are as bad as some of the
pamphleteers and editorial writers are
picturing. Fewer denominations and
union OF energy will help, whatever the
conditions may be. Those who are
heading this movement should be en-
couraged, and the most substantial en-
enlargement will be turning little

Suggestions from Farmers.

The farmers of the United States are
naturally very much interested in the
census of agriculture and farms that will
be taken April Is, 1910, as one of the
subjects to be covered by the thirteenth
decennial census. Many are showing
their interest by writing to the census
bureau for the purpose of making COM
ments upon census information regard
ing agriculture as presented in the past.
The director of the census welcomes all
such suggestions and gives the careful
consideration. as he is anxious to have
the results of the coming census cores
pond as nearly as may be to the desires
OF the people most interested.
In addition to studying carefully these
suggestions, the director has on his own
initiative requested certain professors of
economies and agriculture OF the more
important universities of the country,
and other persons who have specialized
IN agricultural matters, to come to
Washington for a snort time for the pur-
pose OF studying carefully and criticising
plans now under way. Especially is it
desired to obtain their opinion relative
to the questions to be asked and their
form, as, the results to be obtained will
SO largely depend upon the character of
the schedule and the manner in which
the questions are propounded. These
suggestions, coming from outside ex.
perts, are proving to be Of great value,
and it is belived that in consequence of
this preliminary study more valuable
and accurate data will be obtainedfthan
could otherwise be secured After these
special students and experts have made
their preliminary studies, formal con-
ferences are held in the office in which the
whole matter OF the character If the

Mr.. Fleetwood in the Field.

The first public announcement in the

"In response to many and frequent in
quiries from different parts of the state,
take this opportunity to announce that
shall be a candidate for the nomination
for Governor in the year 1910.
Not a cent shall | spend in this can
vass. Without managers, and without
money appeal openly and squarely to
the people of Vermont.
"If strength is spared me l shall dur
ing the coming months publicly discuss,
better roads, better schools, preservation
of forests, economy in state expenses, and
pure politics, all vital factors in the pres
ent prosperity and future growth of our
State.

A Business That Satisfies.

Men want to make money. They
want to make it as easily and rapidly
as possible. Then why remain tied up
to hard, disagreeable and Improbable
business. The unequalled policies of the
Massachusetts Accident Company, and
the liberal terms you can get, offer you a
sure and profitable business. There is
no comparison, especially between this
and life insurance, as a money making
business, and as regards permanent re-
newal income. Besides you are your
own boss, as free as a bird on the wing.

DR.. HOltOn'S Opinion.

The Brattleboro Refofmer recently
stated that DR.. Henry D. Holton, secre-
tary of the state board Of health, when
queried concerning the recent decision in
the St. Johnsbury water case, said that
it would probably be necessary to secure
an injunction to compel the village of st.
Johnsbury to carry out the order of the
board regarding the matter of purer
water supply. The village st. Johns
bury has contended that the law EN-
powering the state board of health to
make such drastic order as it did was
unconstitutional. The court has held
the law constitutional and it now re-
mains for the board to compel the
village of St. Johnsbury to carry out its
orders and provide a supply of pure
water.

The Miracle of The Twentieth
Century,

This was the way WI Ting Fang
former minister of China to the United
States, described the awakening of his
own country, in an address before the
Civic Forum in New York City. Fore
most among the influences which have
wrought the miracle he placed the
educational institutions Of American
missionaries. He said these formed q
part of the leaven which has leavened
the whole empire of China" How sig
nihcant part becomes more and more
apparent as plans are unfolded for the
education Of Chinese youth. Few
Americans have had larger share il
these plans than Dr. D. Z. Sheffield, presi
dent of the North China College in Tung-
cho, who has been in service there forty
years under the American Board with
only three visits to the United States
Although the college was wiped out Of
existence by the Boxers in 1900, and the
land sowed to corn, it was promptly
rebuilt with indemnity money, and is still
training picked men for efficient leader
ship in the nation. DR.. Sheffield holds
high rank as an administrator as well as
a scholar. The federation of forces
representing three religious denomina-
tions, English as we'll as American, into
general educational scheme. was due
largely to his initiative and skill. These
missionary plants working harmouiously
together towards given end, the max
ing of Christian character, have made a
deep impression upon the Chinese.
Another educational factor is a min
iature Yaee which was opened at Chang
sha by alumni OF that university, in 1898.
This year few alumni of the Harvard
Medical School have decided to duplicate
that institutionin the Flowery Kingdom,
Such are some of the influences to which
WI Ting Fang ascribes the awakening Of
China.

Mr.. Bigelow is a newspaper writer of
ability and man of excellent standing
in the state. Editor Bigelow is also
known to fame through his defeat of
Mayor Burke for reelection in Burling-
ton and his defeat in turn by Mayor
Burke. Editor Stone was recently ap-
dointed postmaster in st. Johnsbury and
the superintendence of that service will
be sufficiently exacting to require the
greater part of his time for some years;
hence, his retirement from newspaper
work for the present. Editor Bigelow
will assume charge of good newspaper
property in every way and with his
experience and ability will be able to
maintain the prestige of the journal.
The Times extends congratulations to
both gentlemen on their changes.-[ Barre

The Newspaper Change.

The newspaper fraternity will join in
the heartiest of best wishes for the
success of w. J. Bigelow, for years night
editor of The Burlington Free Press, who
has just purchased The St. Johnsbury
CALIFORNIAN and will conduct it as
proprietor and editor. He has been a
distinct credit to the newspaper frater-
nifty not only in his professional career
but in his even more conspicuous achieve
ments in civil life. The passing of Arthur
F. Stone from the control of The GALE
DOMAIN will be received with regret, be-
cause of his long and honorable associa-
tion with the press of the state and
because with him will end family con-
nection with that ancient journal that
long maintained it in high esteem.-[St.
