ARBOR DAY.

Tuesday, April Goth, was Arbor
Day ut the N W. U and from the
neat appearance Of the college park
and campus We judge that the students
worked hard and diligently.
Under the supervision of the Junior
GLASS, the students of the preparatory
department, armed with rakes and val
lous agricultural implements attende
to the Lawn Of the park. The care of
the campus was left to the freshmen,
who applied themselves Wig ,ruusly to
the work of getting the base ball field
In first class condition. The backstop
has been enlarged and the different
tennis courts have undergone thor.

campus. This crass also gave ample
proof that they were endowed not only
with brains, but also with Drawn. for
they succeeded in Telling a row of
large trees on College avenue in
surprisingly short time. AS for the
seniors, we can only class them as
gentlemen of LEISURE for they did
absolutely nothing, with the exception
uf psrtaklng of the delectable lunch
which was served at 10 o'clock.

COUNTY OPTION

Slate-makers for the next state
campaign for Governor and United
States Senator have already ar
ranged their program, which if the
gentlemen named as candidates
will see it fit to carry out, will make
the campaign an interesting one to
say the least. County Option is to
be the war cry and with United
States Senator Robert M. La Fol-
lette as candidate for denomination
and election to the senate and State
Senator S. M. Marsh, father of the
county option bill, seeking the re-
publican nomination for Governor
it will be in the hands of the anti
saloon leagurers. There will be
several other candidates for Gov
ernor and the anti-dry statesmen
will seek to combine on some one
man who will be strong enough to
defeat Marsh. There is also a
prospect that La Toilette will have
opposition and with the German
element of the state against him
his path may not be a smooth one
for denomination. Apparently the
slate-nlakers at Madison have it all
arranged and find much pleasure
in announcing the plans of the anti
saloon leagurers who feel they will
have an issue that will attract

THAT CONTEMPLATING DUTY

The tariff fight in congress has
opened the eyes of the people to
the tact that countervailing duty
of petroleum, which amounts to a
prOhlbitive arrangement, has made
it possible for the Standard Oil
Co., to force from the people about
SI2 ,ooo,ooo annually over and above
the value of the oil consumed. For
years, the people have been led to
believe that petroleum was on the
free list and that competition was
keeping down the price, and in
the meantime the Standard Oil
Co., was crushing out either by
fair or foul means all competition,
oftimes using tactices and means
to accomplish its ends nearly, if
not quite criminal in character,
Congressman kuesterman of this
state is entitled to credit for the
expose which resulted in placing
petroleum on the free list and
should the senate restore the
countervailing duty the people will
know where to place the RESPONSE
bility.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

The war department has con-
cluded to suspend the sale of dis
carded rifles for fear that thew
may fall into the hands of the
people. Funny isn't? The people
constitute the government, and it
IS feared, that the government shall
turn against itself. 1t might be
we'll to make change in the war
department and let the people be
represented.
Well, after all the blow and
buster INDUCED in by political
wind-lammers last fall, we are to
have no inheritance tax. no tax up
on wealth, only taxes upon the
consumers ninty per cent of whom
constitute the common people. 1t
is about time there was a political
upheval in this country and men
elected to represent us at Wash
ington who are more interested in
the people than in the rich corpora
tons and who will contend for JUS
tice for all classes rich. and poor
alike and not make fish of one and
flesh of the other.
The legislature is very active
these days, that is, the members
who are not string to keep them
selves in the limelight. A few
bills are being enacted into laws
and large number are being sent
10 the scrap pile. In the interest
of economy and a saving to the
taxpayers, the bills abolishing a
lot of unnecessary offices and COM
missioners should have been passed
and the people relieved.
An anxious public is still wait
ing to learn whether the tariff re-
vision is to be up or down, whether
anything is to be accomplished in
the interest of the people during
the fextra session of congress,
whether after all, the action of
congress is not a blind and in the
end the tariff remain as it is to rob |
the people and enrich a few who
are the direct and positive bene-
hciaries of a system that is pro-
hibitive and produces but modi- |!

REDUCE THE TARII f

There is a large lobby of million
ARE lumbermen at Washington with
paid agents working to retain a
high tariff on lumber, especially
the planned and finished grades,
the kind the farmers use. There
is no one there to speak for the
people except their representatives
In congress, who they are not
speaking very loud nor positive
IN behalf of their cons tituents.
The talk of the lumbermen and
their paid lobbyists that a high
tariff must be retained because of
low wages paid in Canada is de-
ceptive, for the wages there are
Just as high, if not higher, than
those paid in this country. Only
two classes are benefited by the
tariff, the owners of stumpage and
those who are in the combine to
hold up the prices of finished
lumber. The tariff on rough lumber
GUILD be removed entirely and that
on planned and finished lumber re-
duced at least a half, with great
advantage to the American con-
sumner and the manufacturer
would then make a reasonable
profit and wages remain the
same. In the past, manu-
facturers have been paving
from SI.25 to $3.50 per day for
labor and realizing about So per
day on each mans toll and paying
from IS to 40 per cent, dividends
on investments. 1t is certainly
time the people had an inning and
no man or company of men have the
power by reason of tariff to rob
them as has been the case under
the Mckinley and Dingley tariff
laws.

WHAT THEY ARE DRIVING AT

A friend in this city, who is an
astute politician but not in politics
personally, as he is not an office
seeker in even limited way, has
been watching the primary election
investigation at Madison and in
forms the editor, of the Leader
that he has reached the conclusion,
that at no time has there been a
disposition upon the part of the
committee to convict Senator
Stephenson of questionable pol
itical practices. The man, that
the SO called reformers, are after
Gov. Davidson. Under reform
rule a powerful machine was Great
ed consisting of game wardens,
factory inspectors, oil inspectors
etc who did political work at the
expense of the people. When
Davidson became governor he in
heritad the machine from his pre-
decessor and being ambitious might
use it to boost himself into the
senate, so had the man under
whom he had received his political
instruction and who yelled reform
and displayed so much interest in
Gods patient poor" whom he was
deceived by demagogery, the equal
of which never known before his
advent IN our state politics. The
object now sought, is to destroy
the machine, that it may not be
used by Davidson or his friends to
defeat the father and beneficiary of
the machine two years hence. The
first move is to get rid of the game
wardens, factory and oil inspectors
and a multitude of other state
officials, whose principal business
for the past eight years has been
to be active at election and draw a
good salary regularly. Our friend
we opine, has got at the heart of
the matter and it will be we'll for
the people tn watch events.

REENT DEATHS
F1lintt.

The sudden death of Bernice NJ. Elliott,
formerly Bernice NJ Batchelder men
toned last week, came as great shock
to her many friends and relatives as she
had been sick only short time and not
considered dangerously so until few
hours before her death. She leaves a
record of patient resignation and brave
endurance in the face of unusual physical
suffering Mrs. Elliott was born in St.
Johnsbury, June 6, 1889. AT the age of
three years her parents moved to Bos-
ton where she died Dec. 6, 1909 She
was the only daughter of Mr., and Mrs
A. J. Batchelder and in her short young
life has made many friends by her
pleasant way and kind disposition.
The remains, accompanied by her hus-
band, mother, and steP-father, were
brought here Thursday and taken to the
home of her cousin, Mrs. George Blakely,
where the funeral was held Friday at
23O p. M, Rev. J. NJ. Frost officiating.
She was laid to rest beside her father
and two brothers, who have all died in
the past ten years. She was an unusual
ly attractive young lady, possessed of
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1909-12-15

many lovely qualities which endeared
her to hosts of friends, and her sudden
and early death brings sadness to the
many friends and relatives who knew
and loved her well. She leaves her hus-
band and two small children, one infant
son and another, Leroy Ebert, aged Is
months her mother and step-father, who
have the sympathy OF all in their sad be-
reavement. The bearers were Clayton
Bond, Harold Bond, Charles Lynch,
Charles Blodgett and Carl Reynolds and
George Blakeley, all former schoolmates
and friends of her brothers, except one
who was a cousin.
