One Cent Letter Postage

THE ONE CENT LETTER Postage Association has been orme
with the avowed purpose of conducting a vigorous campaign among
business men for the promotion Of a sentiment demanding a reduction
in the frs class postage rat from W cents to one ent or each
ounce o fraction thereof. The association points Il that the govern
men is collecting about 81 cents pr pound for carrying letters, The cost
OF which service is probably less than half that sum. The actual
profit o the government III first class matter is said to be 609 per
cent The association which is urging lower first class rates contends
that there is a unjust discrimination i'll the government collecting "a
cents a pound for first class mail while it carries second class mail or
OF cent a pound. 1t is not to be lost sight OF however, that The
people at large profit by cheap postage rates for second class mail
Were publishers compelled top pay . much higher rate than at present thu
day Of cheap newspapers and cheap magazines would be ended. That
second class mail can be hauled at a profit at m cen a pound is
evidenced by the fact that the express companies are glad to transport
periodicals at the government rate Were the exorbiant sums paid the
railroads for the transportation OF mail reduced to 4 reasonable level
other cxravagances and abuses OF the postoHice Department weeded
out, and a parcels post system installed, here is little reason to donbt
that the first class postage rate could be reduced to II ent al INC
and the second class rate1 left att the present figure without mourning
a deficit

Current Comment
Pressing Forestry ouestions.

The list of speakers for the annual
melting Of the Vermont Forestry associa-
ton assures unusually interesting ses-
sions. Professor Tourney, director Of the
Yale forestry school at New Haven,
Conn, is recognized as one Of the lead
ing authorities on the subject of forestry
in the United States, and our citizens
cannot afford to miss hearing his adj
dress on Thursday evening in Williams
Science hail. At this session also Pro-
fessor Hill win speak on what the agri-
cultural college is doing for forestry in
Vermont, while at the Thursday after
noon session at the Van Ness house,
State Forester A. H. Halves will speak.
The chief point of interest in connec-
tion with these meetings will be the
study of the effect Of the act passed
by Congress authorizing the purchase Of
lands in various states
What shall be the policy OF Vermont
in relation to the purchase of forest
land by the federal government In
the bin as passed by Congress there
are no limitations as to states in which
lands may be purchased so long as they
affect the sources of navigable streams,
Of which the Connecticut is one. Hence,
practically all lands in eastern Vermont
may be purchased under the act. IL
is serious question whether it is de-
sirable for Vermont that it lose the
ownership and control Of any consider
able territory within its boundaries. No
lands, however, can be purchased by the
United States unless the legislature Of
the state authorizes such purchase.
The association has never committed
itself on the question Of state control
Of privately-owned forest lands The
question is not free from constitutional
difficulties Further, as a practical ques-
tion il Is almost impossible to lay down
in statute general rules which viii oper-
ate wisely in all cases. Mr. Halves will
open a discussion on this subject during
the afternoon meeting. Burlington Free

economies department, and therefore we
quote the following sentences from a
lecture on Dust and It's Dangers de-
liyered by s. Maria Elliott before the
assembly at the farmers week at the
university Of Vermont yesterday, In the
course Of her remarks, the speaker
said;--
"She the housewife) then should fur.
nish an unfavorable environment for
them and thus stamp them out. She
should study prevention: food the
house with sunshine and light; have few
storage places for dust; keep dirt out
Of the air When any does rise, let it
settle and wipe it into a cloth that can
be washed Adequate prevention and
wise removal will make actual disinfec-
ton seldom necessary
If a few simple, reasonable rules of
taking care OF house were to be fol-
lowed out, much as the speaker sug-
gested, there would be far less deaths
Of housewives due to tuberculosis to
be chronieled in the mortality statistics
each year.

mont farmers demanded it, or at least
they should be given the benefit OF the
doubt If this was their view Of the
matter they We're certainly justified in
their actions, for ii there is any flare
back to it the agricultural interests
along the Canadian border are the ones
to be hit
While it is true. as has been sug.
gested by several contemporaries, that
the last Republican state platform ia
yored reciprocity with Canada, there was
a provisional clause which left the mat
ter entirely to the Judgment Of the peo-
pie when il said that such a measure
should be sufficiently protective Of the
interests Of our own people. This was
the important point Of consideration and
it is an essential that always has been
and always win be considered under the
present form Of tariff legislation

advocacy by President Taft could make

party, in Congress. II an opportunity

HOUSE DUST DANGEROUS.

Each year when the mortality stats
tics Of the country and state are pub
lshed, they give large percentage Of
deaths from tuberculosis to that class
designated as housewives, One cause Of
such prevalence OF the disease among
housewives is perhaps unsupported. 1t
lies in the dust which accumulates in
the homes and which when stirred up
is carried into the lungs OF the occupants,
there to begin its insidious work. The
dust which gathers in the houses is
laden with germs Of diseases, which are
brought in on the clothing Of the people
and deposited on the floors and other
places where dust is likely to gather
When this dust is permitted to aeeumu-
late in corners and crevices OF the rooms,
it continues as menace to the health
of the occupants to degree not thought
possible.
The duty, then, of the keeper Of the
house is to prevent the accumulation
of the dust particles with their disease
germs and, in the removal of the dust,
to exercise more caution than generally
attends the process OF sweeping and
busting. The dust should not be sent
swirliug through the air of the room
before the vigorous onslaught of the
sweeper, but it should be collected in a
safer manner However, such instruc-
tions belong more properly to the home

Expert Lady Teacher ot CaIisthenics
 Will Drill Children.
 The committee on "Play Picnic" have secured the services of Miss Susan B. Myers, to take charge of the games, folk dances, drills and tableau for the afternoon of the Fourth of July celebra- tion.
 Miss Myers is graduate of the Sar- gent School of Physical Education of Cambridge and has had very successful experience in directing backgrounds in Pittsburgh, Pa, and Bangor, Me, and is to have the supervision of the play grounds at Madison N. j., during July and August.
 She was recommended to the commit tee by the secretary of the Playground Association of America. Miss Myers will arrive in Canaan about June 14, and will begin at once the training for the drips, CuT-of.d door dances, tableaux and such other things as maybe planned The plan for the afternoon includes q general field day for boys and girls
 With the teaching of delightful new games there will be play for everybody who will play. Miss Myers will be assisted by a committee of ladies which is to be appointed.
 It will be seen that this not only insures a delightful afternoon of the Fourth but it means also that many of the children will have the benefit of three weeks training by one who is skilled in physical culture and calisthenics. Those who recall the chlldren's play of last spring, do not nave to be reminded of the value of this to the children.

Justice Overtakes Gentleman Who
 Smashed Wife and Dishes.
 At about o'clock Sunday morning Constable Rhoades was called up by telephone from East Canaan and sum- moned to arrest Clarence Curtis who, according to the excited voice at the other end of the line, was raising a ruction at his home, striking his wife. intimidating his mother-in-law and smashing up the dishes and furniture.
 The constable drove to the place. where he found Curtis's wife nursing a black eye. the rest of the family oower- ing in fear of Curtis, who had been on the rampage Saturday night, and broken crockery strewn all around.
 Curtis was taken into custody and brought to the lookup, where he was brought before Judge Ford and pleaded guilty of assault and breach of the peace. He was fined $10 and costs OF each count, a total of $17.11, and notified by the court to get out of town and not show himself here again within year under penalty of arrest on two other charges, drunkenness and abusive language. The fines were paid by his father, Charles Curtis. and the prisoner took his depar- ture for parts unknown. J. Clinton Roraback appeared for the state.
