"vemont for vermonters."

The Monitor is publishing this week
an article on Vermont asbestos. This
article shows that Vermont has added
another product to its list Of quarry
and mine outputs that is reaching some
proportions already, In fact the out
put Of Vermont asbestos has reached
that point where the state is placed first
in rank Of the states Of the United
States, in the amount Of asbestos quar-
ried. This stage has been reached with.
out the knowledge of the people Of the
state that we were doing anything in
the line Of mining asbestos, and we who
live right here in Orleans county, where
most OF the quarrying is being done,
hardly realize yet that the industry has
started
Since asbestos properties In northern
Vermont are now attracting some at
tention, it is well to notice briefly what
is doing elsewhere At present around
90 per cent. of the worlds supply comes
from the province of Quebec, and from
within 80 miles Of Sherbroke. In Que
bee. the statement of one company leap
italized at S25,000,O00l for the four
months ending Sept 80, shows net profits
of Sl72,e03.35, from operations with
untitled orders of S3,52S,s95 In 1908
4.2s4 men were employed in the as
bestos mines of Quebec and the produc-
ton was 900 tons first-elass crude ore
worth 1851 ,2ls, 2,Tll tons second-class

sufficiently to defend itself against a

the legislature and prevent the print
ing Of so much unnecessary matter. 1t
has been found very expensive to main
tain such committee as no one compe-
tent for the work could be secured as
clerk for anything like the compensa-
ton of regular members. 1t has not
proven a preventative to imperfectly
worded or incorrectly drawn measures
as is shown by the numerous vetoes
OF the present term and the explana-
ton that the measure did not express
the idea of its sponsor, or an incorrect
bill got in place Of the correct one. 1t
certainly does retard the presentation
of business to the legislature as it is
impossible for the committee 20 revise
the bills as fast as they are presented.
The sessions of the legislature are long
er since the revision committee has been
established and the delay in getting bills
introduced may be one ofthe causes. This
suggests the question whether or not
the old method of allowing the various
committees to properly revise bills re-
ferred to them is not quite as fast and
cheaper than the present method.
We are open TO conviction in this mat
ter but from an outside viewpoint there
seems to be serious question whether

SUPPRESSION But A NAKE-SHIFT.
The efforts Of President Taft and 9th
ers to cover up the statements in Sec
rotary Dickinson's recent report regard
ing the alleged lack of protection to the
United States in case of foreign inva-
sion will not be satisfying to the people
of the country, who have a right to
know if there is anything wrong which
might be remedied. On the other hand,
if Secretary Dickinson is incorrect in
his conclusions, if he is simply trying
to scare the country into a great ex.
penditure Of money for preparing our
defenses, that fact viii come out sooner
or later. The ostensible purpose OF the
attempted suppression IS the fear that
foreign countries viii get possession Of
the facts. There need be no fear in
that respect; probably every foreignsna.
ton, which cares enough about the mat
ter, has a fairly accurate idea Of Just
what our coast defenses amount to, any
way, and there is no sense in the United
States ducking its head in the sand and
declaring, like the ostrich, that it is con-
cealed, because the feat is impossible.
That being the case, it is idle talk to
argue the suppression of the war secre-
tarys report lest our enemies get hold
OF the facts and, perhaps, force war
upon us What the country needs is
more information and less suppression
of facts, even though they be disagree
able facts.
1t is yet to be proven that the state
ments Of Secretary Dickinson are found
ed on accurate conclusions; but it is.

How dear to my heart is the bacon o.
childhood,
As fond recollection brings it to my
mind

wildwood
On aeorns and things Of that sort they
might find,
Grew sidemeat that hung in the smoke
house so gloomy
| Until it was sliced in the wintertime

oh, find me that bacon of old Bring il
to me;
The bacon I'm getting to-day is so
dear.
The old fashioned bacon, the country
cured bacon,
The kind that was not too expensive
too cook,
The salt-oozing bacon, the hick'ry-smoked
bacon,
The big fitch of bacon that hung on
the hook.
In dreams I recall, though tbs ever so
dimly,
The way they would butcher the pigs
IN those days
The hired man who welded the hammer
SO grimly,
The bladder we whanged in our gay
childish ways;
But nowadays there is a fond recollec-
ton
The smart Of the smoke and the tang
of the brine,
The sniff of the nose and the sduint of
inspection,
The satisfied ''Umph,' that the bacon
was fine.
The old.fashioned bacon, the streak-o'.
lean bacon,
The stick-to-the-ribs kind the folks
used to cook.
The hick'ry-smoked bacon, the two
inch thick bacon,
The big fitch OF bacon that hung on
the hook.
