A Warning to Vermont.

A special grand jury in Adams
county, Ohio, has indicted 99S per-
SONS for buying or selling votes in
the recent election in that state and
expect that fully 1900 will be indict-
ed before they stop. One Of the most
degrading instances was where a
mother sold her sons vote for five
dollars, and there was one farmer
who admitted he sold his vote three
times in one day receiving total of
$3.50 for the three sales. This
sounds pretty shocking to YER
monter when it comes from Ohio but
it is reported that beer and liquor
were distributed in several large
towns, sacks of flour in some small
towns, and unknown thousands
of cold cash spent in the
last gubernatorial campaign and no
state official dare probe the charges.
1t is not at ali probable that 1900
votes were bought and sold in one
county in Ohio at first any more
than there are in Vermont at pres
emit but if we allow the barter in
votes to continue unrebuked in this
state we will develop scandal as
disgusting as that of Ohio.

Woes of Congressmen.

The extent to which being errand
boy by the members of congress in
terferes with their real usefulness is
well illustrated by Willard D. Eakin
in the January number of Lippin-
colts magazine. He closes with this
statement
with a multitude of such ridicu-
partmental business and individual
troubles to absorb the Congress
mans time and energies, it is not
surprising that the House of Repre-
sentatives has outgrown it's use
fulness as a deliberative body with
legislative functions, and become, in
stead body of which the average
member has very little legislative
power. His time and his mind are
taken up with matters that ought
and two-by-four clerks. Many of
these troubles are attended to, it is
true, by the private secretary, but
many of the members dare not en-
trust their constituents troubles to
other hands than their own, for fear
of being recalled at the end of the
term, and Congressman at a type
writer, grinding out correspondence
relating to the Year Book or ap-
plications for garden seeds, is no I'M
common sight in the Temple of
Trouble 1t is also true that these
various trifiing duties are largely
self-imposed for the sake of political
self-preservation, but they are none
the less necessary for that. The
Great Fear keeps him tending camp
when he ought to be leading the
army"

Serene S. Payne, father of the
present tariff bill and chairman of
the house committee on ways and
means, expresses the belief that a
bill creating a tariff commission will
be passed at this session of congress.
1t is encouraging to know that a
man of Mr.. Payne's influence is
ready to work for such a measure
and it is sincerely hoped the repub-
licans will pass such a measure. 1t
is no more than the country deserv-
es from them.

The President and the South.

There is no doubt that the
country was surprised when the
President made southerner and
former confederate soldier Chief
Justice and nominated another
southern democrat for associate
justice of the Supreme court. But
there is no Indication that any part
of the country became indignant or
frightened. Forty years ago such
appointments would have been in
conceivable. Twenty years ago
republican president would hardly
have dared to make them. Even to-
day, although a president of almost
any persuasion might feel free to
disregard sectional lines in appoint
ing to such high Places to cross
party lines so freely is not common,
and it is doubtful if any republican
president we have yet had would
have been, under the circumstances,
drawn so strongly southwark as
President Taft was. His freedom from
partisanship and his disregard of
sectional feeling are both rather
striking. Perhaps his own expert
ence on the bench, and his clearly
announced position on federal judge
ships, sufficiently explain the former.
His attitude toward the south can be
explained only by a deliberate pur-
pose, formed either before his cleo
ton or very soon after it, and firmly
adhered to. For he has apparently
determined to do all that he can do
consistently with his other duties to
make the. south like the rest of
the country, and to make it feel it
self like the rest of the country in
it's relations to the national govern
ment. For a while politicians nat
urally supposed that his sole object
was to make gains in the south for
his party, and that, no doubt, does
seem to him a thing entirely desir-
able. But such gains as his party
had made in that quarter were
practically wiped out by the recent
elections. 1t will not have another
chance for two years to come. Yet
the president goes on treating the
south just as he did in the begin
ming. His really controlling motive
in this matter is that of a statesman,
not politician.
We should not be surprised if
there were southerners, southern
democrats, who, seeing that this is
so, would feel a trifle better if in the
election the south had shown more
disposition to stand by the presi-
[Harper's Weekly.

not the least doubt that this is in
tended as an entering wedge to open
the way to- general system, to which
there are very serious objections. The
chief Of these objections is the effect
to be produced upon local trade in
rural communities and this bill
seems to be a shrewd device for Sc
curing the favor of such commune
ties at the start by providing what
seems to be a great convenience to
them.
With this service on the rural
routes it may be that the distri-
button of packages from the village
stores would be cheap enough to be
an accommodation to the people of
country towns, though occasional
trips to the store and post-office are
among the diversions of country life
not likely to be given up. The
people will be intelligent enough to
know that they have to pay the
postage, though the stamps are af-
fixed by the traders, and they may
not consider the saving of trouble as
worth the price. But suppose this
proves to be convenience in rural
communities, and to serve it's pur-
pose successfully. It will only be
prelude to the general extension
of the system where the service will
be far more costly to the government
and have quite different effect up
on the village storekeepers and their
customers.
The strongest advocates of this
system are the large department and
mail order stores in centerS of dis
tribution for merchandise. Some of
them now send catalogs and circu-
lars all over the country and take
orders by mail, but their business
is restricted by the necessity of de-
Hvering most of their goods by ex-
press. If they can get the govern
ment to carry and deliver them 1000
miles at the same rate as from the
village post Office to the outlying
farms, what will be the effect upon
the local storekeeper? He may find
the most profitable part of his trade
drying up, and he cannot prosper by
merely buying and selling farm
produce. Retail trade in villages is
important for the conservation of
community life. Its prosperity is
good for all the neighboring country
and it's languishing would be cal
amity. Parcels post would tend to it's
extinction and counterfeit the effort
to encourage living in the country
by increasing the tendency to con-
gregate in cities and large towns.
Trade and industrial life need to be
diffused and not concentrated more
and more, and the government ought
not to divert it's mail service to in
creasing congestion and drawing the
life from rural towns by blighting
their commercial side-[New York
Journal of Commerce.

Connected with the estate is a
modern, spacious residence. Plants
and shrubbery surround it, and the
farm highways are lined with state

springs and streams of running

and fields are red with the luscious
and matchless Vermont wild straw
berries, and as the season advances
the wild raspberry and high black
berry are abundant and both, like
the wild strawberry, are matchless

Vermont Agriculture.

We published last week figures
showing what the seasons produc-
ton of certain farm products in YER
mont was. The Crop Reporter which
is the most reliable authority for
such figures showed that the farm
value of these products on December
1, was as follows:
Corn. $1.9O1,OO0; spring wheat,
100000; oats, $3,528,000; barley,
$4,000; rye, $4,000; buckwheat,
$134, 1000; potatoes, $1,696,OOO; hay
SIS, 200; tobacco, $46,4OO This
gives a total farm value of $23,255,-
400.
That seems like a good showing
but the report furnishes figures for
other states from which we CLEAN
some interesting comparisons.
The average yield of corn in YER
mont was 43 bushels per acre. Only
four other states in the Union have
higher yield per acre but they are
in New England and are as follows:
Maine and New Hampshire, 46 bush
els; Massachusetts, ass bushels;
Connecticut, 53.2 bushels. Iowa
which produces the most corn of any
state has yield of S6.S bushels
per acre.
The average yield of wheat is 1913
bushels per acre, which is the high
est average of any state. Minnesota
produces the most wheat of any
state and the yield there is 16
bushels per acre.
The average yield of oats was 14.5
bushels per acre and there are tive
other states In which the yield is
better. Two, Maine and New Hamp-
