A Serious Matter ,

The Vermont association DAIRY is
the largest in New England, if not in the
country, having between six and seven
hundred members. and its object is, as
might be inferred from the name, to pro-
mote dairying in this state, SAYS Score
tary Fred l.. Davis of the association.
Then, it surel y will be within the scope of
the association to start movement
toward finding out why only one-half
OF the contributing diaries, together
with New Hampshire's, meet the re.
quirements of the Massachusetts board
OF health. Is the Massachusetts test
too high and unreasonable Or are we
slovenly and slack? The Vermont Dairv-
mems Association might we'll include
this matter in its program for discus
sion at the coming annual meeting in
Burlington. barre Times.
Vermont cannot afford to have it said
that its milk is so foul that nobody but
Vermonters will use it. This Massachu-

perhaps, so much in the actual dollars

volved in the trade, as in the unfortu-
nate reputation Vermont dairying inter.

Advertising Rates.

The Landmark of White River Junc-
ton announces an increase in advertis-
ing rates OF two and one half cents per
inch. The increase is made because of
the marked increase of practically
everything that enters into the produc-
ton of newspaper" This is a good
and sufficient reason and ought to be
convincing with any advertiser. Adver-
tisers, however, often entertain peculiar
ideas about advertising rates. A mer-
chant dealing in clothing, tor instance,
varies the retail price of his goods
according to the price he has to pay in
the wholesale market. If a certain
grade costs him So per suit more this
year than last up goes his retail price So,
that is, If he is thrifty business man.
Ii 1T costs more to produce a newspaper
now than it did five years ago the price
OF the commodity in which the news
paper deals should go up in proportion
Many advertisers, however, are slow in
admitting that the same argument
which fits their own business also fits
the mediums in which they seek to do
business.
The Landmark is one of the few dol
lar weeklies in Vermont. What has its
publisher to say in excuse for continuing
that ridiculously low price. Why does
he place all the increased cost of prod
uction on the advertiser? There is no
good reason for publishing weekly
anywhere in New England for less than
$3.50 per year. With all papers offering
the same subscription rate there is open
and tair competition in circulation. AS
matters now stand $3.50 weeklies have
to meet unfair competition from the
dollar and dollar and quarter week
lies. All weeklies in Vermont and New
Hampshire should be sold for $3.50 per
year. Then each publisher would hold
or lose subscribers on the merits or de-
merits of his paper-[Bellows Falls

liked the direct primary system; nobody
thought it was a good system. In the
second place, it was expensive. Thirdly,
it afforded the public no means of resist
ing the bosses. Fourthly, it afforded no
means Of preventing activity on the part
of the machine indeed it strengthened
the hold of the machine on the
party.
In Massachusetts, the primary cleo
tions are very scantily attended, " he
said, 81 don't know how it is in your
State, but that has been one difficulty

ment. They are better in our State than
in New York, but still they are enough
to make an intelligent voter absolutely
helpless. The last time | voted | had
never heard the names of more than two

why machines were necessary to the
carrying out of our absurd elections. "
Dr. Eliot cannot be charged with any
political prejudice in giving his views on
this subject and he raises objections that
must be overcome before any state
would be warranted in going to the ex.
pense and confusion of changing its sys,
tenn of nominating officials. The most
serious trouble with Vermont's caucus
system is the indifference of the general
public. No boss or ambitious office
seeker could defeat the people if they
would only attend the caucuses and ex-
press their choice and this same indiffer-
ence obtained in Massachusetts under
primary elections. Unless the advocates

Not to Give Away.

Every line in newspaper costs the
publisher something If it is for the
benefit of the individual it should be
paid for. If the grocers were asked to
contribute groceries to one abundantly
able to pay for them, he would refuse.
The proprietor of a newspaper must pay
for the free advertising if the beneficiary
does not, and yet it is one of the hardest
things to be learned by many, that a
newspaper has space in its columns to
rent and must rent them to live. To
give away rent for anything less than
living rates is as fatal to newspaper
as for landlord to furnish rent free

PRESS COMMENT.
Services of Assistant Judges,

One OF the questions presented for con-
sideration in connection with the editors
conference at Montpelier involved the
proposition to abolish the assistant
judges in our county courts. This mat.
ter was not considered in detail, as was
the case with various other questions,
and the impression seems to have gained
ground in some quarters that an affirma-
tive conclusion was reached, which was
far from being the case.
In this connection it may be helpful to
consider some of the features of the case
on its merits. To begin with the assist
ant judges receive very small compensa-
ton, So a day for the time actually
spent. If an expert were to start out to
save in connection with various expendi-
lures from the State treasury, he would
unquestionably reach a number of ways
in which money could be saved faster
than by abolishing the assistant judges,
even II their services were not important.
AS a matter of fact, however, much
ignorance prevails regarding the actual
services of the assistant judges, growing
out of the fact that frequenters of court
rooms assume the only service performed
is that which they see during court pro-
ceedings. The assistant judges not only
hear cases involving bail and other
matters, when county court is not in
session, but they also assist in hear
ing cases, not involving jury trial.
1t is worth noting for example, that
during the recent term of Chittenden
county court seven civil cases were tried
by jury an agreement was reached and
one resulting in disagreement, whereas
no less than "a civil cases were tried by
the court, or in other words by the pre-
siding and assistant judges. In ali 50
civil and 25 criminal cases went off the
docket. Assistant judges are usually
men ofgood judgment, and are capable
OF passing upon questions of fact as we'll
as anybody, while many have consider
able knowledge of legal matters.
The assistant judges have charge of
the county property, including the jails
and court houses, and it would be an
utter impossibility to secure as efficient
service for the sum involved in any other
way. This service must be performed,
however, and it must be responsible SER
vice too
1t is not to be overlooked in this con-
nection that the new court arrangement
n Vermont has only fairly gained head
way, and it is to be taken for granted

expenses will be smaller in

Achievements of the Year.

When the year 1909 opened it seemed
as though there was little for the people
OF the present day to do except fttingly
celebrate the anniversaries of prominent
explorers, statesmen, writers, musicians
and inventors which came in it's period.
The centennial of the birth of Abraham
Lincoln, w, E. Gladstone, Charles OAR
win, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Edgar Allen
Poe and Oliver Wendell Holmes came in
this year. The three hundredth anniver-
sary of the discovery OF Hudson river
and Lake Champlain and the centennial of
successful steam navigation were events
that attracted world wide attention and
were fttingly observed.
But the year will not depend entirely
upon its observances of past triumphs
tor itsrecords. Steam transportation on
the Atlantic Ocean has reached higher
development than ever before. The
steamship Mauretania. has eclpsed all
previous records. Its record for eastern
passage is four days, thirteen hours and
forty one minutes; westward bound, four
days, ten hours and fifty.one minutes.
The wireless telephone has be ii made
possibility and the wireless telegraph sue
ceeded in saving 1 500 lives on the steam
er Republic when that vessel was sunk
by collision with the Florida fortv-ive
miles from land off Nantucket.
The achievements of the Wright Broth.
ers, Count Zeppelin and NJ. Bleriot with
the airship are also events that will make
the year famous.
The struggles of man since 1853 to
reach the North Pole were crowned with
success in 1909 when Peary after twenty
three years of effort planted the stars and
stripes on that spot
The overthrow of the supposedly Sui
tan OF Turkey and the securing of new
rights by the Turkish people is a political
event that will have place in history,
while the changes in the Balkan states
may have important results.
AT home we may at least report pro-
gress in our efforts to control the immense
combinations of wealth with the verdict !
dlssolving the Standard Oilcompany and
thecollection of nearly $4,000. 900 unpaid
tariff duties, from the sugar combines.
So 1909 has been year of won
derful achievements but it in no sense
represents final goal. To learn more,
to discover more, invent more and achieve
more is the spirit that will drive the ac-
tive men and women of 1910 to new
heights and records.

Doubles the Number of Eggs.

To be successful with poultry requires
great deal more careful attention than
many are apt to think. The house
should be large and warm. The fowls
should have plenty of exercise; but, more
than that, the fowls should be given as
food what their nature demands and
what, ifallowed free range, they could
procure for themselves. Pages Per-

Some of the Vermont papers still speak
OF permanent roads and the Rutland
Herald defines them as follows: "All
students good roads will admit that
the first requisite of permanent road is
stone foundation, but preferably of
crushed rock, with scientific ARRANGE
ments for drainage, and a top-dressing
OF inner stone or gravel, all rolled into
place under pressure" That is exactly
the kind of roads Massachusetts has been
building. The oldest of these roads is -
years old and yet Massachusetts had to
expend this season $500 900 on them
for repairs. These cannot be held up to
Vermonters as permanent roads Just
yet.
