RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA,

Vermont wants closer trade relations
with Canada. but We rnco -niye the
fact that tnero are some Thugs we do
not want to buy from our Canadian
nefghh ora. Just as there are other
things thev will ces,ro 10 mako for
themselves rather than purchase from
US AS We understand It, rooiproc.ty
near tNat two parties agree to trade
with .ach other for the promotion of
mutual interests through mutual GU
CO sions, In c'ic~ words, we would
agree to TX special tor IS for the nd
mission % Cnradi odurts wo need
in exchange FOR '.rr.cal terms for
the admission to the Dominion Of those
OF our products our Canadian friends
iced TO buy from us.
This, we take 1t, Is tho kind rest
I.'ocity that Is being favored by Prcsi-
Massachusetts IL looking along similar
lines Is evident from statement he
has just issued. In tho course Of hIs
romarks, no says:
II n were practical for Canada
and the United States to hayo tho
same tariff against tho rost of tho
world, we might have absolutely free
trade. but tho proposition OF Mr.. FOES
tho democratic candidate for governor
TO remove our duties on Canadian Fro
ducts and to Leave their tariff on all
our products. Is neither free TRADE Acr
reciprocity.

COMMON SENSE ABOUT VERMONT

The Northfeld News condonses a
large amount Of wisdom about Yer
mont roads in n few words when 1t
says:
"A W. Harris millionaire bankc.
of Chicago. who has recently come to
Vermont by automobile. says that tho
roads IN this state averaged better
than those over which he had passed
and lie had no faul' to find with them.
He advised Vermont to stick to gravel
roads. This is a pretty fair compli-
ment to the work and wisdom OF state
Road Commissioner Gates"
This statcm' confirms the o5serva-
ton OF a prominent citizen Of Burling-
ton who recently returned from an OK
tended tour of New England lie re
ported that outside OF few stone
roads IN Massachusetts. which. by thr
way, were rapidly approaching Il state
needing repair, the gravel roads Of
Vermont compared most fevorablv with
anything found in tho various states.

feature Of tho situation rs regards Vor-

Taking up the topics in succession,
VIC note that the Standard mentions
with appreciation the appropriation
by the Lcrislo ture Of 1904 Of $50. 600
FOR the building of Morrill, Hall. but
omit- to add that the appropriation

considering the relation Of the Uni
vcrsity to the state, but is ,iot. though
ly believed. As n matter Of fact. the
university has been rec giving from
the treasury of the State only $1,000
$4,000 for thirty S.a'e scholarship
and $4,000 for industrial instruction
until tho last Legislature made an an
nual appropriation of so 900 TO meet
n special crisis in medical education.
and to 7aciprocStc the action of the
trustees in expanding more than 800

The remaining sums alluded to in
the Standard do not come from tho
'tnfe treasury directly or indirectly,
but from the rInitca States govern
r.cnt under the Morrill, and supple
montary grants. Tho original Morril!
grant for Vermont yields only the
small revenue of $3.50 per annum, and
requires that tho institution accept

branches of learning rotating to agrl-

WHIT 4 STATE UNIVERSITY

What most presses the alumnus
Of another SOS university who
comes to Vs.. mt IS the marked
ok OF loyrl. of many citizens TO
tnc.. own state university and the
states best interests as well as the
welfare OF the future uIcn and women
of this commonwealth. one speaking
from this stanG point can discuss the
subject Of State university as seen
into local rivalrics, considering tho
whole question from a broad point Of
view.
The lack of loyalty to which va re-
fer apparently grows out of lack OF
conception of the true meaning of n
university, and particularly State
university, Evidences OF this miscon-
ception are to be found in three
priIc ~ dire thons the confounding
OF state institution with the town
in which the same IS located and the
consequent investing % il with FL
sorts OF local tealousies; a DISPOSE
ton to treat all colleges ms true
univorGity; and Il Willingness to allow
the paid servants of the states educa-
tional interests to uso their Influence
to tho up-builGing OF universities

qnont rohhing OF many OF our sons
and daughters OF tho bonefits Of those
