Concerning St. John de Crevecoeur

The fact that ST. Johnsburv was named
for st. John de Crevecoeur makls the
following clipping regarding him of
local interest.
Henry Cluzant of the Gironde, but with
an estate of inheritance in Normandy
(the manor of Cagny, near Caen) has
found in his old manor-house much of
the manuscript and drawings of the ST.
John de Crevecoeur, that would be of
service to those who are working at the
romance and mystery of this Franco
American farmer. Cagny seems to have
been one of his retreats in the Napoleonic
times, for it was the property of the
father of St.sJohn's daughter-in-1aw,
Mesnage de Cagny, and was near the
birthplace of this wandering Norman
essayist. The chief manuscript seems to
be one written in Bavaria, in 1906, and
may have been used by him in his letters
to his daughter-in-law, Mime. Ally ST.
John. then young widow. These
papers should be bought by some
American library. and would be found of
more than value of curiosity.

Next Fall'S Elections.

To show the extent to which a change
in the membership of the next congress is
possible, in fact as we stated last week
seemed probable, the following facts are
interesting. Already fifteen members of
congress have announced they will not
be candidates for reelection next fall, four
senators and eleven representatives.
TVsRlve of them are republicans and three
democrats. They are:-Senators, Aid
rich, Flint, Hale, and Piles; Representa-
tives, Frank o. Lowden, Illinois; A. E.
Cooper, ]. M. Reynolds, H. w. Palmer,
and George F. Huff. Pennsylvania; N. D.
Sperry, Connecticut; A. F. Dawson,
Iowa, and Miles Poindexter, Washing
ton, republicans. w. D. Jameson, Iowa;
E. N Foss. Massachusetts,, and ]. S.
Havens, New York, democrats. A large
variety of reasons are given why they will
not try but the fact seems to be they do
not dare try it again.
More surprising is the situation in the
senate. Thirty members are to contest
for their seats this fall, twenty-five re-
publicans and eight democrats. Two of
the democrats have already been elected
and the other six will have no contests.
Four of the republican senators. Aldrich,
Hale, Flint, of California and Piles of
Washington, have already announced
their withdrawal from politics and a re-
cent canvass of the republican senators
showed that fourteen of the remainder
were doubtful of reelection. They are:-
Senators, Beveridge, Indiana; Burkett,
Nebraska; Carter, Montana; Clapp,
Minnesota; Clark, Wyoming; Depew,
New York; Dick, Ohio; Dupont. Delaware;
Kean, New Jersey; LaFollette, Wisconsin,;
McCumber, North Dakota; Nixon,
Nevada; Scott, West Virginia and War
ner, Missouri.
This condition shows the need of good
work dnring the remaining days OF
congress, good men for the vacant
positions and an honest effort on the
part of the people to promote the best
interests of the public.

Farmers Should Test Cows.

The state commissioner of agriculture,
O. L. Martin of Plainfeld. is engaged in
beneficial undertaking in getting the
farmers of Vermont interested in the for
nation of cow testing associations. He
has recently issued a bulletin, 1.-THE Cow
Testing Association Number" in which
he describes a cow testing association as
follows:-
A cow testing association is simply an
association of dairymen formed for the
purpose of learning the dairy abilities of
their cows. 1t is method whereby,
through the employment of an expert
who travels from farm to farm, this
work is done for the various members ac-
curately, cheaply, easily. The proposition
is one of Danish inception. It is said that
the scheme originated with a woman,
whose husband was trying to improve
his herd by careful selection, by weighing
the milk of each cow, testing it for its fat
contents, and keeping careful record. She
conceived the idea that their neighbors
might cooperate in hiring man to do
this work, which could then be carried
on in greater detail, with less expense,
and perhaps with more accuracy than
by the individual farmer. A community
meeting was held. the plan outlined and
the first association formed in 1895.
1.-The COW testing association has had
vogue on this continent for about SIX
years, and such organizations are now
being formed in many dairy sections.
There are five or more in Maine, few in
New York and Pennsylvania, many in
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio
and other states. There are more in Wis
consin than in any other one state. Some
so or more were recently at work in the
Provinces of Quebec and Ontario. The
plan is practical one, it is inexpensive
it affords reasonably accurate data it
possesses educational features, and II
pays. All this has been demonstrated
beyond the possibility of doubt.
That such move is needed among the
farmers of Vermont is shown by a state
ment made that only forty per cent o
all the COWS in Vermont are paying then
way. In other W ords sixty per cent o
the cows are being kept at a loss. Thi:
hardly seems possible but there is only
one way to prove it false and that is b.
actual testing to find what per cent doe
pay. If that statement is true it is 'nt
wonder,,Vermont farmers are not prosper
GUS No business can succeed when owe
half of its production is put out at loss
So far we have not heard of a cow test
ing association in Caledonia county. L
seems as though it is time one was form
ed and the true status of the cows deter
mined. 1t is in no way a Theoretical
proposition. It has been put to practi
cal test in other localities in Vermont
and should be used here to aid the farmer
to get his dairy business on a paying
basis.

The Essential to Success of a Club.

St. Johnsbury business men have
shown commendable spirit of enter
prise by organizing a commercial club.
The citizens of that village are reminded,
however, that the organization of such a
club is in itself very trivial and un-
important. If the club goes the way so
many similar organizations in Rutland
and in other Vermont cities and towns,
little will have been accomplished.
The News is convinced that no such
league can do effective work in Rutland
unless it has sufficient enterprise and
money to employ all the time of a
competent promoter, secretary, or adver-
Using manager, whatever you wish to
designate him. Several commercial or
charlottesville board of trade, Mer-
chants association and Improvement
1eague-have speedily fallen into innocu-
Gus desuetude simply because what is
everybodys business is nobody's bus
mess.
Rutland will have an effective COM
mercial organization some of these days,
but it will be when it makes up its mind
to employ at fair salary progressive
manager, who will devote his entire
time to the work of promoting this city S
reputation, advertising its resources and
attractions and securing new enterprises.

Tree Planting at Maple Grange.
Dr. Vim. Stanford Stevens ofSt. Adams
has a gang of men at work this week
setting out white pine seedlings from the
state nursery at his farm at East Enos-
burg. This is a part of the work in the
plan of reforestration which DR.. Stevens
has inaugurated at Maple Grange under
the direction of the state forester.
Twenty-four thousand trees are being
planted at this time, the work taking
from three to four days. Sixteen thousand
will be set>out in a nursery at East
Enosburg and ten thousand IN
St. Adams. for transplanting later. The
plan contemplates setting out fifty
thousand a year for ten years.
Weights and Measures Law.
F. S. Holbrook, representative of the
United States bureau of standards, and
an inspector of weights and measures,
was at the State House in Montpelier
Saturday looking up the Vermont law in
regard to weights and measures and en-
deavoring to ascertain if such law is in
force. MIR. Holbrook strongly favors
State conference on the subject. which is
advocated by Governor 6. H. Proutv.
He is visiting the prominent business
centers of the State intervie wing leading
business men as to how much they know
about the State law on this point, and
will report his findings to Washington.
Benware Sentenced-Case Appealed.
Sentence was pronouncedin Chittenden
county court last week Tuesday after
noon on William Henry Benware who
was found guilty of assault and battery,
the sentence being that he pay a fine of
$500 and taxable costs amounting to
$199.S2. The matter of sentence is
stayed and exceptions will be entered on
the docket. Witness fees in the case
amounted to over $500. but this cannot
be entered as taxable costs against the
respondent. Mr.. Benware was first
charged with manslaughteT, it being
alleged that on the night of July 6, 1909,
while acting as chauffeur for Gov. 6. II.
Prouty, he ran down Hector Mongeon,
of St. Hyacinthe, Que, at Burlington,
which accident caused the death of Mr..
Mongeon. The jury in the case, after
much elaboration and instruction from
the court, rendered verdict of guilty of
assault and battery. Exceptions were
taken to the sentence by the counsel for
the respondent on the grounds that it
was illegal, as no evidence had been in
troduced in the case tending, to show
there was assault and battery.

Lieutenant GOvernOrShip.
Comments of Vermont Papers on the Candi-
dacy of l. P Slack

dacy of L. P. Slack.
A new candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor of Vermont was put in the field this
week by the St. Johnsbury Republican.
He is Leighton P. Slack, a ST. Johnsbury
attorney, who was formerly located in
Barre. The Republican says that it goes
without saying that Mr.. Slack will have
the united support of his town and coun-
ty, and it refers to his abilities in the
following =
'Mr. Slack is the junior member of the
law firm of Dunnett & Slack, has served
with credit as states attorney and cOun-
ty senator, and is in every way admira-
bly, adapted for the position of presiding
officer of the Senate.
"Mr. Slack has large personal and
professional acquaintance throughout
the state and we bespeak for his candi-
dacy cordial following.
''Mr. Slack is a good example of the
Progressive, younger element in the po-
Iitical life of the state and will lend great
strength to the ticket, especially in
northeastern Vermont, where he is best
known"
The contemporary might have said al
so that it goes without saying that Mr..
Slack in politics is of the Republican per-
suasion else he never would have essay
ed to be lieutenant governor of Vermont.
His coming into the field rather damages
Windsor countv's chances for the nomin-
alton. if its two candidates persist in
keeping in the fight to the obliteration of
each other. If Mr.. Slack goes into the
convention, unallied with any guberna-
torial candidate, he stands fair chance.

A Political Reform.

The suggestion of the Montpelier
Journal published in another column
that attention should be given to the
matter of paying the expense of the
delegates to the republican state conyen-
ton is worthy of the serious attention of
every man who believes in purer politics
in Vermont. 1t is a practice that has
been winked at N the past and has
proven very effective way of ensuring
the delivery of the full vote of a candi-
date at a convention When a man in
ordinary circumstances is assured that
it will cost him nothing to attend
state convention he is sure to be present
He is also sure to vote as the man who
assured him his expenses would be paid
this practice now.
Every man who believes primary law
would benefit the state should actively
support this proposition because it will
place the expense of the present conven-
ton system on the delegates elected and
will show them just how expensive the
system is. If the delegates are unwilling
to bear the expense OF attending con-
vention it will tend to show the present
system is undesirable and make people
study the proposed improvements more
seriously.
AS shown by the Journal the practice
is in violation of the law and it should
not be allowed any longer. Let every
man pay his own bills and express his
own mind on his ballot or else abolish
the system which makes this method of
influencing votes possible. =
c. c. Lord, editor and manager of The
Groton Times, announces that his paper
will no longer be issued from the Office in
Groton, but will be published by the ST.
JJohnsbury Republican. EDITOR Lord has
made a good paper in his limited field
and we shall miss his short but fearless
utterances upon Vermont topics.
