The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1910-01-07
JUDGE Orion N. Barber.

tSt Albau- Messenger
There will be very general satisfaction
Throughout Vermont because OF the nelec-
ton by the president OF Orion NJ. Barber
OF Bennington to be one of the five judges
OF the newly created federal customs court.
Mr.. Barber has long been acknowledged
among the leaders of the bar in this state,
and has built up very large and remun
erative practice. In his social life he is
among the most genial and comfortable of
companions, and his acquaintance extends
into every part of Vermont. He has
worked hard at his profession, and he has
frequently given the best of his talents
and much of his time at just as hard
work in some service for the state.
To be named as the New England repre-
sentative in this important national tri-
bunal is very high honor to come to
any man, a signal recognition of his pro
fessiona ability and his personal worth.
In all the requisites of personal fitness
that the president could consider, Mr..
Barber is amply qualified, and this, with
the fact that reasons of political exped-
iency so often influential in these matters
odd not initiate against the award of this
Office to Nermonter make the choice at
this time a particularly gratifying one.
The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1910-01-07

With this issue we close our labors- not
editorially-but in the Office of the Elk.
press and Standard for the next few weeks
and HE to our southern home. We have
been asked many times why, in the past
three years while in the south, We have
not furnished our paper with articles as
on previous trips; but the fact is we have
remained in one place, worked on land.
and have faced no adventures worth writ,
ing about. This season we have prepared
ourself for deep sea fishing and coast trips,
and it is possible a series of letters may
be the result If so we trust our readers
will find them interesting.
Thus speaks Brother Hildreth of New
port, the one Vermont editor who doesn't
have to shovel his own walks, tend his own
furnace, sift ashes, split kindlings, thaw
waterpipes, contract coal bills, keep cheer
full, speak pleasantly to his advertisers
and write dope about the beauties of old
fashioned New England winter weather all
winter long.

stand for il. Instead OF resorting TO
such thing as killing the animals and
trying to look pleasant the farmer calls
upon the state of Vermont to buy his
cows. Here is where the cattle com
missioner is valuable. He decides
about how many cows the state of Yer
mont can pay for during the season.
The farmer will only be permitted to
unload his per capita share of diseased
animals. The commissioner must see to
il that the soil artist doesn't get
crouch because the state cant take his
entire herd. and to do this and at the
same time keep alive the Pickering
Gates governorship boom requires no
little dexterity.
For a youngster of 40 years f. Ladd
Davis has the rest OF the bunch beaten
in the way of acquaintance among
farmers. He started in 1900 as a mem
Der of the legislature to get acquainted
with the sort of agriculturlsts that
make laws, and six years later found
him in the senate extending his ac-
uuaintance He has been a member of
the board OF agriculture and during his
term of office in that highly organized
department Freddie made scores of
friends for the administration. He Il
one of the valuable hired men of Yer
mont. He can make votes. He wouldn't
mind being the governor of the state
sometime. He dresses the part of a
prosperous farmer, and his handshake
is of the agricultural brand Mr.. Davis
has got in right and through his
extended acquaintance among the
farmers he will stay in until he sees
something better--for instance, some
thing like a lieutenant governorship.
He doesn't go in as strong for glory as
for money. He has made money at
farming, and can do il in politics.

DR.. Percival Lowell, an eminent astron-
omer, is authority for the statement that
animate WILL as he calls it, is bringing
about remarkable phenomenon on the
planet Mars. In the popular way of re-
porting the discovery, using terms apple
able to similar undertakings on earth, the
inhabitants of Mars are engaged in build
ing new system of canals from known
point to new oasis. DR.. Lowell made
known his discovery at special session of
the Association for the Advancement of
Science in Boston last week. He empha-
sizes the fact that the canals are not new
simply in the sense that they have not been
seen before by human eye but that they
have never existed previously.

a trick in few other towns when then
services are needed.
Not great many years ago there was
a wise one operating big farm in Pom
fret. He was apparently attending to
his own business. Ii was discovered,
however that this Pomfret patriot was
travelling around the state to the eX-
tent that he ought to be properly quail
fed to act as scout. His political
faith was of the right brand, and as he
had the handshaking stunt reduced TO
a fine art the party managers decided
that he should be drawn for a decent
lob whenever there was an opening.
That he might not experience an at
tack of frigid pedals the official press
agents from time TO time, by the Judi
cious use Of publicity, not only kept
alive the spark of ambition IN the
breast of the Pomfret man but famed
II into fame by electing HIM secre-
tarv Of the state fair association, which
is am auxiliary % thr Vermont fish and
game league.
Freddie had the cue long before his
elevation and selling his broad acres IA
pomfrct he waited the signal to pack
his trunk for White River Junction,
While the machine operators were cast
ing about for secretary to their fair
department the Job was offered to the
late Fred L. Hamilton of Salisbury.
Mr.. Hamilton politely declined to be
made a cog in such manner, and the
lob was given to Fred l.. Davis, A
better man could not be found in Yer
mont to fiji the job of secretary of a
political auxiliary association like the
Vermont state fair association. Mr..
Davis was well equipped for this trying
position. He knew every prominent
agriculturist in Vermont through his
connection with the Vermont Dairy
