Taft Hears From Vermont.

President Taft is cheered by the
news from Vermont, states Boston
paper, whose Washington CORES
pondent says the President has re-
ceived reliable information from a
responsible resident of this state as
to public opinion here on the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement. The
real sentiment, as shown by the
attitude of the newspapers of Yer
mont, Is heartily favorable to reci-
procity, and the President and his
Vermont correspondent are pretty
nearly right in assuming, as they un-
doubtedly do, that the press is not
misrepresenting the feeling of the
people of the state on this question
of local and national interest.
question.
Vermont's standpattism in the
past has kept it in the rear of the
procession, but her courage, per-
sistence and ability in sticking to
the old things will make it a leader
when she heads the other way.
President Taft has heard from a
newer Vermont.

May Pardon DIR. Bates Con
ditionally.

II is confidently expected that DR.
Charles FL. Bates, of Ludlow, well
known physician having a family
whose trip to the far West with Miss
Susan Barrett, of Rutland, trained
nurse, aged IS years, last fall caused
a sensation in central Vermont,:will
be pardoned conditionally by Gov.
Mead. The governor has been petit.
Toned to give the man his freedom
but there is lot of feeling against
him in his home town.,
Bates is serving sentence of two
to two and one-half years and ia
making himself very useful at the
prison because of his knowledge OF
medicine. Those who petition in
his favor declare that he has been
punished enough in view of the fact
that the adultery charge against the
young woman was quashed and she
was allowed to go free.
The governor has indicated that
he will impose some pretty stif con-
ditions on Bates If he pardons the
man.

Customs Decision Hits Border
Residents.

The customs court has given de-
cision which promises to bring GUS
toms collectors into even more un-
popularity, to entangle the govern
ment in no end of dispute and per-
haps seriously affect commerce all
along the Canadian border.
Three words in one section of the
Payne-Aldrich law have been con-
strued to mean that any American
born animal, once taken out of this
country, must pay duty to return.
1t is held that the law applies to all
animals from pet poodles to draft
horses. Heretofore customs col
lectors have been allowed to exercise
some discretion in enforcing this this
provision. Hereafter they will have
no alternative.
A Niagara hackman will no longer
be allowed to drive his fare across
the gorge to the Canadian side un-
less he is prepared to pay full duty
on his horse when he comes back.
At some places along the border,
customs officials say, the enforcement
of the law will amount to restric-
ton of commerce between cities.
Much teaming is done between De-
troit and Windsor over the ferries.
At other border cities the situation
is paralleled. Under the courts
ruling, an American merchant in
Detroit who drives to Windsor must
pay duty on his team before he can
return to Detroit.
The American woman who takes
her pet poodle to Europe will have
to pay duty on it when she returns.
