MIR. Slack'S Canvass.

While no one is getting excited over
state politics the voters are doing a lot
of quiet thinking and when the conven-
ton meets next month their thoughts
will crystalline upon the winning candi-
dates. In the canvass for lieutenant
governor the St. Johnsbury candidate,
Mr.. Slack. is making progress all over
the state and his support is by no means
confined to the northeastern part of tie
state. Mr.. Stacks experience in the
Senate not only showed the ability he
possessed as lawmaker, but gave him
a wide acquaintance throughout Yer
mont which stands him good stead in
the present campaign. If nominated and
elected to this high Office everyone who
knows Mr.. Slack knows that he will
make good.

Mr.. Hlbbard.

The death of Hon. George A. Hubbard
OF Boston removes prominent citizen OF
the Hub and a man of Vermont ancestry
as his ancestors were natives of Concord.
He entered politics when only "a years
old and after many years of success as
political manager was given the Boston
post office, a position which he filed
with great ability. introducing many
improvements in the service of one of the
largest cities in the United States. After
eight years there he resigned to accept
the nomination of mayor of Boston and
was elected over Mayor Fitzgerald by
small majority. In the three-eornered
election of 1910 Mr.. Hibbard's candidacy
undoubtedly resulted in the election of
Mr.. Fitzgerald, and the latter rewarded
him by nominating Mr.. Hubbard city
collector. This position the civil service
board failed to confirm, and following
close upon this unexpected blow came
the announcement of his physician that
he was a victim of tuberculosis. The
poor man was completely crushed and
died of a broken heart. The wheel of
fortune is tickle one in politics, and it
is strange that faithful public servant
should be down and out as was Mr.. Hib-
bard. He made a great record in the adj
ministration of the Boston post Office. AS
mayor of the city he practically eliminat-
ed graft, and in his short term saved the
taxpayers at least a million dollars.
His death is a distinct loss to the city
and to the commonwealth of Massachu-
sets,

PRESS COMMENT.
St. Johnsbury Moving On"

Two things occurred in St. Johnsbury
last week that indicate an awakening of
new spirit in the place. the opening of
the c. H. Goss company's garage and the
gathering OF the St. Johnsbury CONNER
cial club. The large audience at the new
garage was not attracted there by
curiosity, but because the people were
interested in the new enterprise it repre-
sented and to give the business a good
send off," The meeting of the Com
mercial club was even stronger illustra-
ton of the get together spirit of St.
Johnsbury business men for united
effort in the development of their town
and village. Zach of these demonstra-
tons were encouraging because a spirit
of unity and enterprise is the foundation
of all community progress.-[ Rutland

ENCOURAGING Figures.

It is certainly very encouraging to note
that Vermont is making marked progress
in the eradication of tuberculosis
According to a recent statement OF DR..
II. D. Holton, secretary of the state
board of health, statistics show that in
the early sos the deaths by the disease
numbered about 900 annually and that
now they have been reduced to 425, not
withstanding the increase in population.
The tubercular campaign conducted the
past season has unquestionably been
highly practical one, the benefits of
which will be noted in coming years.
The exhibit has been shown in 81 places.
In each place two lectures were given SO
that they numbered ~ in all. It is
estimated that between 5000 and co.
900 attended. This is done on an
appropriation of $4,000 made by the
State. The campaign was also RESPONSE
BILE for the recent observance of tubercu-
losis Sunday which was general through
out the State. In the smaller towns
union services were held, which were
addressed by physician or some other
man we'll qualified to speak upon the
subject. Learning how to live is one of
the great secrets of successful fight
against the scourge of consumption. 1t
is to be hoped that the State will keep up
this good work now SO well begun

Exercitation of Energy Wanted.

The gubernatorial candidate who is
willing to put energy into the canvass
for the next few days will stand a good
chance of winning. The voters are sick
and tired of these 'bought-in-advance''
campaigns. We should like to see Can
didate Fleetwood visit every town in the
State during the remaining days of the
canvass. A face-to-face talk with as
many voters as possible will do much
for the man who is running his campaign
without paid literary bureau force.
We know for fact that in every town
he has visited Mr.. Fleetwood has made
friends who are going to give him loyal
support.
Mr.. Fleetwood's friends-and they are
not wholly confined to the younger
element of the State-should be, and we
believe are, willing to assist in putting
life and vim into the few remaining days
of the campaign. A "whirlwind' auto
mobile trip of the State is what is want
ed. Candidate Fleetwood is good for
not only one speech day, but several,
and he is always sure of good audience.
Friends of Mr.. Fleetwood who Own
Packards or any other make of automo-
bile, should wire him that he is wanted
tor day or two. Let's keep him going
and he can VIM Waterbury Record.

ennial term to the goveTnorsh1p during
the following term. One OF the present
candidates for the Acknowledgements
ship, Mr.. Leland. has recognized the
force of this sentiment by declaring that
if chosen for second place on the ticket
this year he will not seek an election to
the governorship in 1912. People who
have good memories do not need to be
told Of the struggle to stop this practice
or to have identified any man who
should not have been promoted.
There is growing sentiment that the
most effective way to guard against the
re-esta blishing of the precedent, however,
is to overthrow the argument now
largely used in support OF the preten-
sions of the present ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
that as long as Prouty was promoted
Mead should also be promoted. Pro-
mote Mead and the argument would be
still stronger in 1912, you promoted
Mead. you must surely promote Blank
from ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to governor
No one will have the hardihood to argue
that Vermont will suffer in the slightest
from the ruling out of an heir apparent
this year. This rule will never work
against the interests of the state, because
any man whose qualifications are SO pre-
eminent as compared with those OF other
prominent men that he ought to be
chosen as chief executive can be elected
four years later On the other hand any
man who is so old that he cannot wait
four years, is too old to give the people
of Vermont that vigorous service which
they demand with increasing insistence
and which they have a right to expect in
the management of the great interests of
the commonwealth.
The people of Vermont are too dem
ocratic to vote in effect to create an heir
apparent in connection with the nomina-
ton for governor.-[ Burlington Free

Dalton Paper Mill Sold.

A deal involving little less than ST.
100000 was consummated at Portland,
Friday, when the plant and timber lands
owned by the Dalton Paper company of
Fitzdale, were sold to a syndicate of
paper manufacturers. The property in
cludes pulp mill with seven grinders, a
one-machine paper mill. a developed
water privilege of the Connecticut river
of 5000 to 5000 horsepower, and un-
developed 5000 to 7OOO-horse-pow er and
some valuable timber lands in northern
Vermont.

lied as the Parks Paper company, of
which Lee A. Parks of Glens Falls, N Y,
is pres, John F. King of Millinocket, Me-,

Millinocket, manager. The directors in
clude the above, except the clerk, and

From Sea TO Sea.

President Mellen of the New York, New
ed that the Pennsylvania railroad has
bought another block of stock in New
England's greatest railroad, but declines
to discuss the move except to say that by
recent purchase the Pennsylvania In
terests have only secured five per cent of
the stock. For several years the two
systems have been working in perfect
harmony and connections will soon be
established in New York city that will
make it possible to run trains from the
New England states right under the
metropolis and through to Washington
or the west. The Vanderbilt interests,
who have three directors in the New
Haven road against the Pennsylvania
one director, have opposed these New
York Improvements in vain and the
to its final move. This is nothing less
than the ownership of a railroad from
sea to sea and the final step necessary for
this aster-stroke is to secure the control
of the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe. The former owns most of the rail-
roads in New England and the latter has
a through line from Chicago to the
Pacific coast. The Pennsylvania Is the
finest road in America and leads all other
lines in its net earnings. The lines 1t will
eventually secure are both splendid earn
ing properties and in fine physical condi-
ton and the consolidation of the three
systems is the logical outcome of the
Pennsylvania's large interests in both
the New Haven and Atchison properties.
1t is not only possible but quite probable
that many of the readers of the
CALIFORNIAN will live to see the day when
they can travel from PASSPORT in Maine
to Los Angeles or San Francisco in a
Pullman car and be travelling on the
Pennsylvania system throughout their
entire journey.

ENCOURAGING Apple Raising.

Following the announcement that the
White River railway company is trying
to encourage the raising of potatoes-the
best potatoes-along it's line in central
Vermont, comes the sta tement that the
Boston & Maine company is back of an
experiment in apple raising at White
River Junction, or near there. Let them
continue. Let them succeed. Let the
other railroads having trackage in. or
contiguous to, Vermont. follow the ex-
ample. 1t furnishes a fine incentive to
intensive farming, and it helps the rail-
roads at the same time. Vermont is a
frst-rate field for experiments of this
sort, and the opportunities here have not
been met as they should be- Moreover,
there is fine market for the product in
Boston and other large cities in New
England; and probably every potato and
every apple could be marketed without
going outside the limits above named.
The Central Vermont and the Rutland
railroads would improve their shipments
very largely if they were to take up some
particular branch of agriculture and
make pet scheme of it, just as the two
companies mentioned have done. Indeed
they might choose the same product as
the Boston & Maine company-the apple
and do much toward increasing the
output of the state. Both pass through
apple country particularly the Rutland
railroad Barre Times.

John w. Gates, the steel and oil mag
nate, is giving large amounts to a new
university at Port Arthur. Texas, and a
bequest of 100000 has come to
Princeton to found the graduates school
which President Woodrow Wilson sup
posed he had few months ago when a
large sum was given the university and
then revoked by the donor. These are
days of large gifts to the educational
institutions of our land and such gifts as
these are the best investment that one
can make. Our millionaires are doing
splendidly and it is well to recall in this

Mr.. Fleetwood in the Lead.

Too much Importance cannot be at
tached to a straw vote, yet it is in
significant that in a contest which the
Barre Times conducted declaration of
preference by voters from all parts of the
state gives Mr.. Fleetwood a lead over
all the others. Nearly every town in the
state was represented and Mr.. Fleet
wood secured votes in every county and
had almost half as many as DR.. Mead in
the latter's own county. DR.. Mead's
strength comes only in two counties;
Rutland, where it would be expected,
and in Orleans, where the field has been
so intensivelv cultivated by his paid
workers. The feeling is widespread that
the nomination will go to man that ia
not putting money into the campaign.
and it looks today as if that man would
be the Morrisville candidate.
Inasmuch as Mr. Fleetwood has
declared for the direct primaries this
reply to the voting contest which
the Barre paper publishes voices the
sentiments of Mr.. Fleetwood's platform:
''I am not much interested In politics
as handled in the caucus hall for the
people are not fairly represented. The
big boss controls the smaller ones and
they control the people. If the people
could vote direct for candidate, as they
chose. without being coaxed or driven.
they would have a chance to use their
votes so they would count. AS 1t is,
only the caucus boss really votes"

Plumley Defends the President.

The Barre Times has been interview wing
our Congressman from the Second dis
trict, who is home on a brief furlough,
and we are sure our readers will be
interested in Mr.. Plumley's views:
Mr. Plumley stated emphatically that
the President is honest and sincere and
striving to carry out the principles in
volved in the Roosevelt policies, which
he definitely stated he should do when
accepting the Republican nomination.
His personal ideas of the Republican
national platform, which he discussed in
the ante-campaign of 1908, he has
sought to enact.
Mr.. Plumley stated that there are
really two classes of insurgents in Con-
gress-those who are quite radical in
their views and are disturbed to think
President Taft has been trying to hold
the party together as one of the requi-
sites of successful legislation, and the
other, which consists of ultra conserva-
tives. who opposed Roosevelt and his
policies and yielded only to his demands
for legislation when the Big Stick was
in evidence, and who, although they
claim loyalty to the present administra-
ton, have yielded only from fear of
being exposed as the real insurgents.
Mr.. Plunley says that the failure of
the administration to carry out some
cherished plans and purposes of the
Roosevelt policy cannot be charged to
President Taft, and the many things he
has already done and others he is at
tempting to do add greatly to his credit.
He considers that the administration is
success and working out serious prob
lens in a satisfactory way.
