The Bennington Banner excoriates the
horde of politicians who descended upon
the state dairymen's convention in Bur
Hngton last week. 1t says they were so
numerous and insistent that they SER
iously interfered with the work of the
convention, and adds:
There We're candidates there for all
the state offices in the gift of the people
for the next ten years and they worked
with shameless effrontery and most tact
less persistence Mr.. Mead was far and
away the worst offender. He was there
with a gang of paid workers, or workers
who have the reputation of being paid
when they get out and hustle as they did
for the Rutland candidate. Nobody es-
capped their pumphandling and palaver.
Other candidates for office were there
and unquestionably sought to gain friends,
but their efforts were modest and re-
firing to the point of self-effacement as
compared with the brazen organizing un-
dertaken by the Mead workers Promi-
nent dairymen from this section of the
state declare that it was sickening We
cannot believe that such methods will
help DR. Mead. Does he think that tine
dairymen and farmers of Vermont are
cattle which can be led or driven into his
pen and branded and tagged for the eau
Gus market six months hence?'

The Denver Republican in its issue Of
Jan l, exploiting in detail and with many
illustrations the resources and produc-
tions OF Colorado as an agricultural and
fruit growing state, claims that the state
now leads the list of fruit-growing states,
the total value of the fruits raised and
shipped in 1909 being placed at $4,000, 900.
apples of Oregon and Washington it is a
surprise TO find the claim made without
any qualification, that Colorado's output
Of apples in 1909 exceeded the combined
output of the states of Washington,
Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Utah and New
Mexico 1t was only four years ago, ac-
cording to the Republican, that apple
planting began in earnest, and in the
course of another ten years the people
out there hope to show the rest of the
world what it really means to raise
apples. But there are insect pests and
other enemies to be fought in Colorado
as everywhere else, 1t appears that late
frosts have always been a very serious
menace, and we understand the Repub-
| lican's article to say that the assured
success of apple growing in the state
dates from the discovery that the frost'
can be kept away at blossom time by the
use of small smudge pots 1t is stated
that a half million of these pots have
been contracted for to be used by tn,
fruit growers the coming season.

Brattleboro will be visited this after
noon and evening by a delegation of about
200 progr essive business men from the
Springfield board of trade, and the local
board of trade has made plans to show
the visitors what a wide awake town
Brattleboro is The trip was planned
from the Springfield end and the Brat
tleboro men were not given a chance to
show the full measure OF their hospi-
tality, but in so far as they could without
breaking into any of the plans already
made they have arranged to give the
guests hearty welcome. Under the
management of the house and entertain
ment committee in conference with the
directors of the board plans have been
evolved which will assure the Springfield
men Of the importance which the Brat
tleboro organization attaches to their
coming here.
The Springfield party will arrive in
Brattleboro about 8 o'clock on a special
train. According to their plans bridge
whist party win enliven the trip to Brat
tleboro and a glee club led by Charles
II. Bosworth, who made rousing speech

board of trade, will be organized for the
occasion On the arrival of the train
they will be met by sleighs in sufficient
numbers to accommodate all, and a trip
about town, including visit to Naulahka,
will be taken. 1t is planned to have the
visitors return to the village about dusk,
and they will be escorted Immediately to
the rooms Of the Vermont Wheel club,
where members of the house and enter
tainment committee and the directors of
the Bratteboro board of trade will meet
them in an informal way Leltsinger's
orchestra will play.
The visitors will assemble at the
Brooks House at $50 O'Clock for an old
fashioned country supper in which hot
turkey and mince pie are advertised as
the principal allurements. The members
of the Brattleboro board of trade have
been notified to assemble at the hotel at
7.30 for general run-together with the
Springfield men. The notices which have
been sent to the members are especially
urgent. and 1t is expected that there VIII
be. large turnout. The two organiza-
tions will mingle socially until the guests
leave on their special train for home. No
special time is set for the departure. The
| Springfield men announced that they
would arrive home at 10 o'clock, but the
Brattleboro organization expects TO make
them have such a good time that they
will remain somewhat later than they
| planned

j. /. Southwick OF the Burlington Free
Press and Joseph Aud of the Burlington

the Vermont delegation their claims for
appointment to the collectorship in Bur

Peck are also announced as, candidates
for the position, and Roger Hulburd of
Hyde Park is said to be willing to be
drafted. No contention is raised on the
east side OF the state against the continu-
ance of Curtis S. Emery in the warm
berth in Newport. but it is difficult TO see
how the delegation can consistently rec

President Taft would have been cnar-
acterized as a spineless executive if he
had overlooked or condoned Chief Fores-
ter Pinchots fragrant breach of disci-
pline. BY sending to the Senate through
the medium of Senator Dolliver a letter
criticising severely the administrations
conservation policy Mr.. Pinchot destroyed
his usefulness as a government official,
and there was nothing left for the
President to do but to fire" his chief
forester if he maintained his own self
respect. Evidently Mr.. Pinchot courted
dismissal, and his object is not clearly
apparent. His record for years has given
no indication that he is the kind of a
man who would take the opportunity to
pose as a martyr. A man Of education
and wealth, he has followed high ideals,
seeking to make himself the most useful
kind of a citizen. His work has saved
the country millions of dollars at the
present time and untold millions for fu-
ture generations. In the mind of the
public Mr.. Pinchot stands as the foremost
exponent of the conservation policy. Mr.
Ballinger has the support of the Presi-
dent, but his clash with Pinchot over the
| latter's attempt to save water powers tC
the government, coupled with the fact
that he acted as counsel for land grab.
bing schemers who wish to get possession
of tha- coal lands in Alaska, does not leave
him above suspicion. Ballinger may bt
able to read his title clear but he Il
certainly an embarrassment to the ad
ministration.
