The Corn Exposition.

Vermont farmers should certainly
take the cue from their energetic COM
missioner Of agriculture, O. L. Martin
and get interested in the corn exposi-
tion which will be in progress at Wor-
cester, Mass. from the 18th to the 18th
Of November The commissioner attend
cd meeting of the exposition officers
recently, and believes thct this exhibit
ton will mean more to the agriculture
OF New England than any other previous
similar proposition There is no doubt
that it will be replete with instructive
suggestions to the farmer as to what he
can do in the way Of corn-raising, and
will be well worth his personal pres
ence and close observation
If we remember correctly, the COM
missioner and his associate speakers at
the series of meetings neld In the state
last winter emphasized the value of ex-
tensive cultivation Of corn, and insist
ed that the Vermont farmer was not
living up to his privileges in this re.

The Tribune hopes that many a farm
er from this state will visit the corn
exposition at Worcester and profit by
what he sees tnere.--Ludlow Tribune

Want Another Institution.

The Messenger is very heartily in
sympathy with the disposition Of the
Vermont press to extol the merits Of
the state industrial school at Vergennes,
because it believes that under the pres
ent management all that is said in
praise of the institution is we'll de.
served. But it insists, as matter of
state policy, that a great wrong is be-
ing done unfortunate children that are
sent TO this penal institution simply be-
cause the state has no orphan asylum
to which to commit them. AT Yer
gennes, children that have already be-
gun a vicious career and other children
that are simply needful of nome, are
compelled by force Of circumstances to
pass the remaining years of their min
GRITTY the most formative period Of life,
in the same institution, in more or
less intimate association.
Is there not some other and more APP
proved way that the people of Vermont
can manifest their philanthropy? 1t is
proposed that the money now spent by
Vermont for the education of detectives
in the asylum for the blind in Hart
ford and similar institutions, elsewhere,
be diverted to the new Austine insti-
tute in Brattleboro, and there is much
to be said in favor of the idea, proVid
ed, always, the service performed at
Brattlebcro win be equivalent to the
service now performed. What, then, is
to prevent the state from supporting
these orphan children or waits mot vi

ting the compensation of our lawmakers
on the basis which prevailed previous
to the session of 190S-9.
Those legislators were plainly in the
right however, who insisted that they
should receive pay only for the time
actually spent in the service of the state.
II will be recalled that an invest gation
was ordered few years ago to deter
mine whether member of commission,
who later became governor, had charged
the state for more days in his per diem
account than he had actually devoted to
the service of the state, and great hue
and cry were raised over the matter,
though the charge was found to be base
less.
Now if there is any difference between
a member Of commission who receives
so much per day and member of the
legislature who is paid by the day, it
might be well to have the matter clearly
determined and emphasized during the
present session.-Burlington Free Press

Otter Creek Bill Came Up for a Swatting
Yesterday Afternoon.


Refusing to stay dead. the Otter creek
bill, which was killed Ia the House last
week, came up again yesterday afternoon
and for a few minutes was the liyeliest

in the House told the members that the
Addison county folks did not think the
bill had received fair treatment last
week, and in the interest OF harmony
and all that sort Of thing they wanted
another chance at it, which the House
good.naturedly, considering how its pa

there to say So The bill provides that
the state shall pay $500 towards the

comes up to a standard approved by the
superintendent Of education, and the
nub of the whole matter seems to be
