On the other hand, while | don't
suppose the present holders of that
LOOMS street property would insist
on the city taking it over there does
arise a question of fair dealing, and
dealing ought to be as fair when a
municipality is a party as when the
matter is entirely between individ-
uals. The question simply resolves
itself into this, in the end, whether
the city thinks itself bound to take
the land for which it has bargained.
and whether it considerers that land
as desirable as it did when it order
ed the city council to buy it.

Nothing has come to public atten-
ton to indicate a change of mind on
the part of the voters in regard to
the transaction to which they object
except the price. Even admitting
that the price is excessive, the ap-
proximate probable cost was known
to the voters when they ordered the
purchase of the property. If that
lot is regarded as more desirable than
any other the voters should not, and
/ don't believe they will, allow a
few Thousand dollars to stand in the
way of securing what they consider
desirable as a permanent investment
for the city, as something that will be
sufficient for Montpelier's needs for
half a century.

4 saw in some news reports from
Rutland last week an account of the
purchase of a fax wheel by Rut-
land man, which had been through
several hands, which was presumed
to be $50 years old-possibly more.
There is a fax wheel in the rooms of
the Montpelier Historical Society
which dates back to 1865 when it
is known to have been in the
family of General Sullivan of Revo-
lutionary fame in Maine, and which
may be much older, which has never
been bought or sold since that date
but has remained in the family ever
since and is owned today by one of
the generals descendants. Just as
soon as it can be collected the His
torical Society will have a set of old
fashioned implements which will IL
lustrate the working of flax from the
time the stalks were pulled until it
was woven in the old hand loom.

Do you suppose, if the English
sparrows We're killed off or driven
out of town, that more of our native
birds would come in and make their
nests in the trees and shrubbery of
the city? And do you suppose the
Humane Society would permit a war
of determination against the spar
rows. Down Pennsylvania way they
are often sold in the restaurants as
reed birds, and without doubt many

poses of them under that nom de
plume. They really make a delicious
dish. If some of the imported citi-
zens who find the native song birds
good eating and are driving them out
of the surrounding woods would turn
their attention to the sparrow they
would confer a favor on the general
public, even though no other bird

Chairman Jones of the School
Board takes the same position al
ready expressed in this column, that
the procuring of a new High School
building is of vastly more conse-
quence than the site where it is to
be erected. The special city meeting
this month ought to put us on the
way to getting what we require. The
voters of the city have once express
ed their preference for the LOOMS
street site and ordered its purchase.
1t would appear that the site has
really been bought, since the City
Counil, acting under orders of the
voters made a trade for the property
at prices agreed upon, the deeds
have been passed, though perhaps
not accepted, and the city govern
ment has ordered an issue Of bonds
to pay for the land.

One of the commendable purpose
of the Woman's Club is to heautify
the school buildings and grounds, and
probably there are few cities where
such an organization, on it's formation,
found so little opportunity for work
in that direction. What school
grounds we now have are gradually
being put in shape in accordance with
a carefully prepared plan of the
school board. The rooms themselves
are made attractive and pleasant with
pictures, statuary, plants and flowers,
goldfish and singing canaries. There
may be an opportunity for the club
to make some desirable additions to
the beauty and cheerfulness of the
school rooms but they are already
made attractive.

There Is in in him that innate de-
sire to get at all the mysteries of

with growing plants and singing birds
and shimmering fish and nesting wild
birds he is made to see, without
knowing the process, the ethical
wrong in the exercise of his destruc-

ing his protection that he might be

SHALL IT BE
WATKINS and THE TRUST or
hlURFF AND THE PEOPLE?

Dear Editor:
Mr.. Bryan, i'll The Commoner,
recently said:
"The Democratic Senators and
members Of Congress who voted
against free lumber have greatly
embarrassed the Democratic party,
strengthened the Republican party
and grievously wronged the people.
''First; because they voted to
repudiate the national platform of
the Democratic party.
Second; they voted to encourage
tie destruction of our forest.
''Third; they voted to raise the
price Of one of our chief necessaries
Of life, our bridges, fences, school
houses, churches and homes.
s'Fourth; they voted to tax the
people of the Whole country for the
benefit of a few lumber men, many
Of whom are Republicans.
ITO cast such a vote, a Democrat
must have arguments that have
not yet been given to the public
This is plain language and yet
every word Of it is true and should
be weighed by every voter before
he cast his vote.
What Mr.. Bryan has said in re-
gard to lumber might be said of
those Democrats who voted for a
tariff on pulp wood, out of which
our print paper is manufactured.
MI. Watkins did this. {See Con.
sressional Record, page 1895.
In doing so healso greatly en-.
barrassed the Democratic party,
greatly strengthened, the Republi-
can party and grievously wronged
bis people.
First, because it was violatiye
of ahe Democratic platform.
Second, because it raised the
price of our paper. magazines, text
books for orr children, and the
Bible we read at our tireside.

"Horse Flies. f"

Never have tho flies been worse on
cattle they they are now. Beef cattle
are getting poor in good pastures out
at Hudson and milk COWS are giving
very little milk. Expert veterinarians
estimate that the flies are taking a
quart of blood day from each COW.
Then it is time to use a remedy to
prevent the flies. Mr.. Bob Gentry at
Dodson used the Great Southern Fly
Preventative and one application on
his Jersey COW increased her yield Of
milk one gallon. This useful remedy
is sold by Whitley & Thomas, Drug
gists, Winfield and Dodson.

Most farmers, we are constrained
to believe, are trying to cultivate
too much land. There are a few
men with capital and executive
ability enough to manage d large
farm, and the average man would
succeed better with a small farm.

LABOR TAKES
STAND WITH
EDITOR

The Central Labor Council last
night went on record against the
attempts of the courts to suppress
free speech by railroading editors
to Jail who condemn their action
in issuing injunctions to protect
the dollars of the corporations at
the expense of the people.
Resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing Judge Gillian of Seattle
for sending the editor of the Sc
attic Star 10 jail for alleged con-
tempt for the publication of mat
ter in the interest of the people.
Rev. w. c. Wheeler, fraternal
delegate to the council, suggested
later that the council might bring
itself in contempt of court by
adopting the resolutions while the
case was on appeal to higher
court but the council stood pat
and refused to reconsider or re-
scind the resolutions it had pass
ed.
T. f. Burns declared the courts
had always stood with the big in
terests.
In the days when the slave
holding power was the big COR
rupting factor in politics the
courts ground out the Dred Scott
decision. Now they stand i'm the
same relation to the corporate spe-
cial interests as a bulwark for
them against the encroachments
of public rights they did then, he
said with relation to the slave
power.
