be so, but trade with them will never
be built up by substituting costly yes
sells to carry mails under the Amer
lean flag. Adequate mail service can
be had at less cost under other flags,
with conditions as they are at present,
and trade must be built up, If at all,
on cheap transportation and ability 10
supply the markets that are sought
with what they want in competition
with the traders of Europe.
No more logical statement Of the
situation could be written. 1t Is i'm
possible for a man to lift himself by
his own boot straps. A merchant ma
rine that requires pension in order
to exist will not be worth what it
costs. If we cannot compete with
other nations, both in ships as well as
in the goods which these ships are
to carry. then we cannot operate the
ships or sell the goods-and we ought
not to. That is really all there is tc
that question.
The American people will seriously
object, however, to the covert methods
which the present administration
seems to be employing to assist the
ship subsidy people in getting theil
hands into the public treasury.

Almost Persuaded.
Judge l.. ]. Reeves's pointed and
logical platform as a candidate for
U. S. senator as published in the Pen
sacola papers the first of the week, is
apparently enough to give him a land

seeks. If it was only possible for the

Judge L. J. Reeves has issued a
statement Of his platform in the race
for the United States senate. 1t took
up page and half of The Pensacola
Journal of Sunday. Judge Reeves fails
to arouse much interest as a candi-
date, though his ability as a lawyer
is beyond question and his force rs

Its Typographical Magnitude.
Judge l.. J. Reeves, the Pensacola
candidate for the United States sen.
ate. has issued an address to the
Florida public defining his views,
which in typographical magnitude
rivals President Taft's gigantic mes
sage to congress last month. It's vast
dimensions are really impressive and
we doubt not that the matter is ex-
eellent and worthy of the thoughtful
persusal of every voter in the state.
but there are mighty few newspaper
men in Florida who can find time to
read it at one sitting. We note that
the Judge says in conclusion that he
intends to go through every section OF
the state in his personal canvass, and
shall wait until such time as he
comes to Live Oak, with the hope OF
getting his views In more abridged
form Judge Reeves is an able man
of high character, a product of our
state we all have right to be proud
of, and if he should get to the senate
he would take high rank there, but we
suspect that this time is not mis- time.

10 MILK PRODUCERS.

Milk producers for the Boston lilarhe'

with the city contractors to prevent the
lowering of present prices on May l lor

most businesslike> producers OF Massachu.
setts shows that milk can be produced
oven at present prices, with little or no
profit and many farmers have sold their
cows and gone into other lines OF farming
n consequence. Thorough and extensive
organization Of the producers has recently
been made with view of securing falr
nrices for the coming summer Inc econ
tractors have refused to aceede to the

The Deerfeld River Power Scheme.

A gigantic power scheme which entails
the spending of millions of dollars is
being slowly pushed onward on the other
side of the Hoosac tunnel by interests

Bound up in the scheme, the greatest
power scheme as yet conceived in New

Vermont S Two Trout Seasons.
burlington Free Press.)

Windham county Is enjoying the DIS
tinction which comes to II from the open
ing OF the season for trout fishing a month
earlier than in other counties IN the state
In that county the closed season extends
from the fifteenth day of July to the
fifteenth day of April, and speckled beau.
ties are now taken galore in the streams
here Judging from reports. Throngs OF
nmrods are said to be fishing the brooks
and it is predicted that with few days OF
warmer weather the trout fishing IN Wind
ham county will be ahead of anything en-
joyed in years.
In other counties in Vermont the closed
season extends from the fifteenth day OF
August to the fifteenth day of Nav, so
that in these countries disciples OF lzaak
Walton must wait until the middle OF the
coming month before trying their luck,
Considerable diversity Of opinion has
existed with reference to the period which
should be observed as a closed season, and
when the taking OF trout would least inter.
fere with the propagation OF this fish IN
Vermont streams. The establishing of diff
ferent closed seasons for different parts of
the state in this way will make it possible
to institute interesting and profitable com

Others are forced to either enjoy angling in
anticipation or to journey to the county
which opens the trout season in the Green

Pellagra in Vermont.


The first ease of pellagra in Vermont
of which there is any record resulted
fatally in the Fanny Allen hospital IN
Burlington a few DAYS ago. The victim,
farmers wife, contracted the disease
in December and had been under careful
observation by medical experts for u
long time before her death. There APP
pears TO have been no doubt of the cor
rectness of the diagnosis. Pellagra IN
the Northern states, and especially IN
New England, is extremely unusual;
Not more than three or four eases OF
which there is authentic record are
known in the medical history of New
England. While the original theory
tina, this dread disease IL caused by eat
ing impure or immature corn products
still generally obtains, II is the beliei
of some scientists that il is caused 10y
an insect pest, little fly that livds ~
the sand. especially near swift run
ming water. Recent outbreaks OF the
disease of almost epidemic proportlo
in various parts of the South and Wes'
have spurred the medical and scientific
world to renewed efforts toward learn
ing its origin and cure, and II is likel,
that the Investigations now under way
will result in throwing new light OF
pellagra and its treatment aud avoid
ance.
