Another War Predicted.

Gen. Francis V. Greene. an eminent
military authority, who commanded
United States troops at Manila in the
war with Spain, in the course of a recent
address in Ontario, said that the situa-
ton between this country and Japan
was grave, and that there may be a
gigantic war as the outcome. The
problem would, however, be solved if
Japan, who controls the situation, ac-
cepted Christianity. The prospect of
war between Japan and the Unitd States
was a great deal more likely than official
circles in the United States would ad-
NIT. 1t was the principle subject of
discussion in United States and Japa-
nese military circles. To quote his own
words; Great Britain has entered
into an offensive and defensive alliance
with Japan, and if Japan ever went to
war with the United States she could
call upon Britain to help her, but every
consideration would call upon Britain to
break the treaty in such an event, and
it is not conceivable to me that the
United States and Great Britain should
ever go to war again.
About every once in so often some
body, who may, perhaps, not be able to
catch the public eye in any other way,
hobs up with a prediction of war between
the United States and Japan, but so far
the predictions have failed and we are
still in state of monotonous peace.
There is one sensible remark in the
above warlike utterance and that is con-

MR.. HINDLEY's RETIREMENT.

We have hesitated to comment on the
report that Editor Howard l.. Hindley
of the Rutland Herald was to leave this
State, hoping that developments follow
ing his recovery from his recent opera
ton in hospital in New York would
show it to be unfounded, but there
seems to be no good ground for further
hope in this direction. The Rutland
News says;
The News, in common with other
Vermont newspapers, will congratulate
Howard l.. Hindley of Rutland on the
opening that has presented itself to him
for advancement in his profession in the
proffered editorship of Spokane,
Wash, evening newspaper. At the
same time none of The News's contem-
poraries can have regrets in exactly the
same measure in the turn of events that
will so soon take Mr.. Hindley from Rut-
land and the State. The gentleman is
an interchangeable worker, facile writer
and most agreeable neighbor and con-

the use of selling methods which may
justly be characterized as outrageous.
Not only has the free use of the mails
for the distribution of printed matter
booming sales" been resorted to, but
in numberless instances postmasters
and letter carriers have distributed free,
this sales-promotion literature at loss
of just such SO much upon the commun-
ity which does not belong to the favor
ed class of free-printed stamped en-
velope users" While the government
is looking into the question of trusts it
would be well to investigate the print
ing division of the postoffice depart
ment, as it looks like trust and opera
ted in the restraint of trade.
In our opinion every printer in the
country will concur in this statement.

In another column we print an edi-
torial from the Brattleboro Reformer
during the course of which it says: "No
man in Vermont can think of being
governor unless he has large personal
income to supplement the measly salary
attached to the job. And as long as
such condition exists brains will have
to make way for 'bar'ls'. " This is
what the Register has been saying all
along. A poor man which means that
one who depends upon the results of his
labor for the support of himself and
family positively cannot hope to be
governor of Vermont, more's the pity.
Everyone who has followed the political
game knows well that money and brains
do not necessarily go hand in hand.
There are many men in the State who
have every qualification for governor,
but who lack the necessary funds to
support the Office as it should be sup
ported; therefore they are barred from
entering the field. 1t is blot on our
boosted twentieth century civilization
that such condition of affairs exists,
but it does exist, and no one can sue
cessfully refute the assertion. When
it is taken into consideration that in all
too many instances it costs the candi-
date far more to gain the election than
the salary the Office pays, it would look
as though it were mere matter OF
dollars and cents, and not the fitness OF
the candidate. And the conditions
would not seem to be growing better.
At whatever sum the salary of the
governor is fixed it should be sufficient
to enable the chief executive of the
State to uphold the dignity of the office
without drawing on his private re-
sources. In this way and this way
only, will the most competent men be
induced to become candidates for the
highest Office in the gift of the people
of the State. However, although we
may be taking pessimistic view of the
matter, we are not looking for such q
desirable solution of the problem.

Senator PAGE.

The Mortified News, one of the best
edited weekly newspapers in the State,
and which is generally on the right side
of public questions, devotes some space
in recent issue to Senator Carroll S.
Page, and it's remarks are worthy of re-
production: The News says, under the
heading of "Senator Pages Work.:
''Those who have watched the course
of Hon. Carroll S. Page since he became
member of the United States Senate
can hardly fail to appreciate the fact
that he fits into the place wonderfully
well.
Reports from Washington are to the
effect that he is attending strictly to his
duties, a life long habit, which is per-
haps one of the secrets which has made
him successful in whatever he has I'M
dertaken in his long and busy business
and public career.
Although Governor Page never prided
himself upon his ability as public
speaker, he has taken part in not few
discussions on the floor of the Senate,
and has commanded the attention of
that august body to marked degree
for new member The reason for
this is probably found in the fact that
he has attempted to discuss only such
measures as he is well versed in and or
those subjects his remarks were highly
instructive.
This was noticeable in the tariff de.
bate when the hide schedule was under
consideration, and just now in the pos
tai savings bill Last week in a little
"spat" on,the postal measure with Sen
ator Gallinger, one of the older mem
bers of the Senate and one of its lead
ers, Senator Pages contention was Sc
we'll taken that the New Hampshire
gentleman felt obliged to acknowledge
himself in the wrong.
The News, while always recognizing
the many good qualities of Gov. Page
has never been accused of unduly laud
ing his public career. 1t is glad at thi!
time to note his undoubted success il
his new field of endeavor, and to eX
press its belief that Senator Page i!
doing good service for the state anC
contributing his share in maintaining
the high standard always enjoyed b!
Vermont's delegation in Congress.
Vermont has been for many year
fortunate in its choice of Senators a
Washington, and Mr.. Page is fully sus
tanning the enviable reputation mad
by his predecessors.

The Government Envelope Fraud

The old howl of the printers through
out the country against the practice OF
the government. in the free printing of
stamped envelopes is again coming to
the front, and there is just cause for
the howl. The envelopes furnished by
the government stamp are very conven-
lent, we might almost say necessary, in
some cases, but when the government
will print the business card of firm OF
individual on the envelope free of
charge, and not only that but deliver
them hundreds of miles, also free of
charge, in direct opposition to the print
ers, they (the printers) have a right to
register strenuous kick.
Nor is it the printer alone who is the
injured party. A big majority of the
people of this country do not pur-
chase stamped return request en-
velopes, yet they have to bear their
share of the expense, not only of the
| printing but for the cost of transpor-
tation.
In these days, when the government
officials including the President are
making such an ado about the deficit in
the post office department it is well for
the publc-the taxpayers who furnish
the money to run the government-to
remember that the free transportation
of tons upon tons of matter printed al
public expense land for the most part
consigned to the waste paper basket
contributes largely to this deficit Add
to this the envelope fraud and it would
seem that the interests of the govern
ment officials and not those of the ''com-
mon people" are being subserved.
When the printers of the country are
struggling to make a living and are
willing to do printing at a reasonable
charge,it looks like a government mon
opoly to.be in competition with them on
the envelope question.
Surprising that stamped envelopes
are being furnished at cost, plus the
face value of the stamp, the govern
ment is doing the printing at loss
and the public stands the loss, as usual.
One of our exchanges, speaking on
this subject, says: ''The free printing
of the return request, besides effecting
directly or indirectly the above refer
red to tens of thousands of taxpaying
citizens, is piece of needless paternal-
ism and dangerous encouragement of
socialism. 1t is not legitimate. The
postoffice department during the last
few years has further attempted to
fasten its monopoly upon the public by

Under Legislation enacted in 1905 the
Danish Government pays three-fourths
of the expenses of all poor persons
who desire to be treated in tuberculosis
sanatoria. When the hospitals under
construction are completed, Denmark
will have one bed in tuberculosis hos
pitfalls or sanatoria for every 1900 in
habitants, fact which will mean that
the length of treatment can be con-
siderably extended. In the United
States there is one bed for every 1880
inhabitants.

A contemporary says Politicians
avoided the recent bee-keepers meeting
in Middlebury and therefore nobody
got stung." Right you are; as far as
we were able to learn politics were not
mixed with the bees; and it was
somewhat of a relief. 1t has come to be
a rule that whenever gathering of rep
resentative men takes place the politi-
cal Office seekers or their henchmen are
conspicuous, but in this case they were
conspicuous by their absence, all OF
which was greatly appreciated. But
then, Addison County men know what
they want and are not easily influenced
after they have once made up theii
minds, fact which, perhaps, may have
become apparent to the various Office
seekers.

us.

gle with Russia may lead her to make

The government is certainly after the
beef trust, so-called. The trust, involv-
ing six big packing companies and
twenty-one packers were indicted by a
grand jury in Hudson County, New
Jersey, last week. charged with conspir-
acy in limiting the supply of meat and
poultry. The laws of New Jersey pro-
vide in case of conviction a maximum
penalty of three years in the peniten-
tiary or fine of $1,000, or both. The
indicted parties include several multi
millionaires, and men prominent social
ly and industrially. If men of such re-
puted wealth and influence are ever
made to serve the penalty in such
cases provided it will be something out
of the ordinary, yet the day of miracles
is not past and the malefactors may
yet be brought to justice.

A current news item is to the effect
that federal meat inspectors have
shown that two per cent of the Sc,
600, 600 hogs in this country year ago,
and valued then at 1899, 600, 600 are af
fected with tuberculosis. 1t may be
possible that people in Addison county
have not partaken of the meat of these
deceased hogs, but it is probable that
they have. And yet the death rate
from this dread disease is not abnorm
ally large in this vicinity. While it is
always well to guard against disease
infected meat, whether it be pork OF
beef, it may be just possible that the
alarmists have overdrawn the case.
Let us hope so, at least.

At this writing the postal savings act
now before congress, is said to be in
danger of defeat because of Senator
Roots amendment requiring investment
of deposits in United States bonds.
The postal savings scheme is a Repub-
lican party platform measure and a
special hobby of President Taft's, but
candor compels the News to express
the humble opinion that it is a most
unwarranted project. If it had not
been slipped into the National platform,
congress would never stand for it a
single day, even though it looks ex-
ceedingly good to the President. Let
it be hoped that the fool thing will get

When The Reformer specialized last

about the same time, it seems, for the

mentioned him as one who could be sent

spoke of him as preferable to either
Mead or Fleetwood. Frank Greene
could win the gubernatorial nomination
