the fine limit was unfair-unfair for
both sides. No one could tell by the
count. with several standing back and
around the door, whether the count
was correct or not. We like fairness
in all things but it does not consist in
a ballot box opened and closed in a
large town like Newport in 81 minutes
by the watch, either for one side or
the other.-Newport Express and

The Training of Farmers.
Hon. Theodore N. Vail of Lyndon,
name we'll known in the world OF tele-
phone engineering is reported TO De
establishing a training scnool Tor
farmers at Lyndon Institute. Mr..
Vail is a man who knows how to do
things and is on the right track to do
something for others. In fact he real
ICES that there is a chance to improve
i the agricultural possessions OF the
state. :.
It is inferred that Mr.. Vail believes
that the present agricultural colleges
of the New England states are not de-
signed to prepare men for practical
farming but for expert research, and
realizing that Vermont needed school
where young man could go and re-
ceive a training that would fit and aid
him in practical agriculture, he has in
augurated the idea of establishing
such school at Lyndon.
The classes will begin next Septem
Der.
Until recently training for farm pur-
suits has been left to the farm itself
; but the time has come when the school
may help in educating boys for sue
cess in agriculture.
The total expense for tuition. board
and books for one school year is $l62.

: The Caucuses.
The result of the caucuses held Tues
day evening would indicate that John
A. Mead is going to be the next COVER
nor of Vermont. 1t would seem that
DR.. Mead should have gone into the
convention with Rutland county solid
: ly with him. Could he have done sc
his nomination would have been as
sured on the first ballot But a few
enemies right here at home prevented
this. A handful of men in Pittsford
swung the caucus to Fleetwood wher
beyond a doubt the will of the Pitts
ford people was to send Mead dele
r gates. If DIR. Mead lacks majority
e of the delegates on the first ballot his
r enemies may be depended upon tt
D mass their strength and resort to any
: and every method, no matter how I'M
Y scrupulous, to defeat him. That is
d the time it will be anything to beat
o Mead" with a vengence. The idea
- that the Free Press should presume to
advise DIR. Mead what he shall do be
tween this and the convention. This i;
the time when DR.. Mead should advise
IS with his friends and pay no attention
t to the rawlings of his enemies. II
n fact this is the time when words are
j. cheap and silence is golden. The goot
k soldier wouldn't advise taking the enc
it my into ones confidence in conducting
n a campaign. Remember that politi
g cal enemy is the most unscruplous ant
s unmerciful of all enemies. DR.. Meat
n has to answer to the people only ant
