What Governor Bell Has Done

THE hour of opening of the exhibition was Justly
proud moment for Sir II. HeSketh Bell X C.
NJ G, the Governor. OF wide administrative eX-
per1enCe, great energy, and exceptional executive
ability in his Scant two years in Uganda he has had
remarkable success in Welding together into a fairly
homogeneous whole the previously loosely knit
teudal elements OF Daudi Chwa's Kingdom and by
a great amount of road building and good road
building at that, he has accomplished more toward
opening up the commerce of the country than all
his predecessors Indeed at previous time would
the transportation facilities of the country have per
mltted the assembly of such exhibition (amOunt-
ing to four thousand eXhibits) of native products
many come from remote points the Nile out of the
north, and some from far Southern AnkOle near to
Lake k1vu. Nor. perhaps at any previous time would
tribal JealOuSeS have left such an assembly possible
After brief address of welcome to the visit
ing dlgnltarles, and of COngratulation upon their
progress in education and in organized industry
Governor Bell received in turn the visiting feuda-
tories and their chiefs, and the exhibition was de-
clared open

THE MILK WAR.

The milk producers of eastern Vernon
are much interested in the movement, t,
start May 1, toward cutting of from thu
contractors of Boston the milk supply o.
that city, until such time as the price de
mands of the producers are accepted.
The claim OF the farmers is that thC
price offered is too low, considering the
cost OF feeds and other factors of produc
ton, and there is no chance for even liy.
ing profit to them. They also believe that
the contractors, under the present wide
margin between prices they pay and
prices they sell for in Boston, are making
inordinate profits that they can well
afford to share with the producers, and
that the threat OF higher milk prices to
the poor people in Boston as the result OF
the movement is not justified by condi-
tions. They claim that while summer
prices paid by the contractors are heavily
cut from winter prices, the retail price in
the city continues right along the same,
allowing tremendous profit to the whole
salers, who are few in number and closely
allied.
In former years, hen the farmers who
supplied milk to Boston we're dissatisfied
with returns and undertook to get better
prices by Withholding it, the contractors
simply reached over their heads and took
it in from the back country, until those
nearer had to yield to the competition.
Now, however, conditions have changed.
The back country has been thoroughly
and stands as strongly for high
er prices as the Massachusetts farmers. II
is rather doubtful il the contractors can
secure enough milk from all quarters to
hlI the demand. Anyhow, it will cost
them heavily to do it.
The producers are asking for the same
price in summer as in winter. The con-
tractors havesoffered it for two months of

STATE BRIEFS.

b. j. StearnH, a trainman on the Central
Vermont railroad, was killed at the
Woodstock bridge near West Hartford
Saturday by being knocked from the top
of his train when il ran through the
bridge.
In Washington county court Saturday
morning Mark Dagnon OF Graniteville
pleaded guilty to illegally selling intoxi
eating liquor and was fined $500 and
costs. He is only boy and because OF
his youth he was placed on probation.
In case he breaks his parole he will be
sent to the State industrial School at Yer
| gennes for the remainder of his minority.
Arthur Norrington of Westminster,
4 VT, mulatto, aged about 40 years, was
arraigned in police court at Keene, N H.,
/ Thursday charged with setting fire to the
covered bridge between Walpole and
Westminster, Vt, which was burned a
I few weeks ago. He waived examination
and was committed without bail. It is
understood that Norrington is thought to
have been the man who was seen. or was
said to have been seen, leaving the bridge
just before it was noticed to be on fire.
About midnight Friday a fire broke out
in the building owned bv Wilbur Field,
near the Charlotte depot, and occupied
by l.. w. Kellogg as a feed mill and
store, end the building and contents
we're totally consumed. Mr.. Kellogg had
large quantity Of feed, flour and wag-
ons and agricultural tools on hand that
we're almost total loss. The fire, when
first seen, was coming through the roof
near the center OF the building, and all
the men could do was to wet down a
small shed and hay barn near the burn
ing building. A box car loaded with
flour and feed was somewhat damaged
Mr.. Field had insurance on his building
but Mr.. Kellogg's insurance IL not
known.
An automobile owned and driven by
John Cross Of Mortified. in which were
Mr.. and Mrs. Cross and Mr.. and Mrs.
George II. Almon and young son of Mont
pelier was in collision with an electric car
on lower State street, Montpelier, Satur-
day evening. The occupants of the auto
mobile we're thrown out by the force OF
the collision, and Mrs. Almon, who was
caught under the wreckage OF the auto,
was badly injured. Several ribs were
broken and she was otherwise terribly
bruised and injured. At Heaton hospital
where she was hurried in an ambulance
II was stated that while her injuries were
dangerous they were not necessarily fatal. |
All the other occupants of the automo-
bile escaped with a few bruises. The
electric was going down the street and
the automobile was coming in an oppo- I,
site direction. Mr.. Cross attempted to
turn the car, and probably misiudging
the distance and the speed Of the on com
ing electric backed his automobile across
the car track just in time TO make a col /
lision unavoidable. The car was a new
Cadillac recently received by Mr.. Cross. .

fundamental principle OF our govern
ment-the rule Of the people.
i The proposed method is not radical or
revolutionary. Its adoption would not
be leap in the dark. II is not an exper-
I iment. Il is now in force in twenty
eight states OF the Union. Contests are
now being waged in several states for the
I law, which are sure OF ultimate success.
4 Eighteen states have mandatory laws, re-
/ curing the use OF the method in select
1 ing candidates for practically all offices.
/ Five have mandatory laws covering GER
tain localities, and five have permissive
/ primary election laws. So it appears that
the direct primary method is the most
usual system for naming candidates now
in vogue. 1t was first used in Crawford
county, Pa, by the Republican party in
the year 1860, and has been continued in
force in that county ever since. OF the
thirty-one United States senators elected
in 1908, seventeen were nominated by
means OF the direct primary, and OF the
thirty-one governors, fifteen were nomin-
ated by the same method. Ii came into
use in Minnesota eleven years ago. Michi-
gan and other states then took it mp, and
it has since spread rapidly through the
West and the Middle West. The struR-
gle now on in New York between Gov.
Hughes and the politicians is typical OF
all contests for the adoption Of the meth
cd. Gov. Hughes and the primary idea
are sure to win. II will he adopted be-
cause il is right, and what is right sooner
or later prevails in the affairs OF men.
l. 1t means responsibility OF the Off
eial to the voter, instead OF responsibility
to the political worker.
2. II is the simpler method.
3. Il makes the exercise OF corrupt in
fluence over nominations more difficult.
1. Under the direct primary more IN
terest is taken in the nominations II
brings out regularly, on an average, three
times more OF the voting strength Of the
party than under the caucus system.
8. Il insures more nearly rule Of the
people.
s. II banishes into the darkness OF
political oblivion, those little men which
the caucuses tend to make great, aud ele-
Yates to the public service those great
men which the caucGses naturally make
little.
But these advantages. with the consent
OF the editor, we will discuss in later
issue.
