The presidential speech, whleh 10
printed In fun in the great city papers
is not printed in full In the smaller, coun-
try papers. II Is true that only part OF
what the president said at his different
stopping places in the west and north
west was printed in the great cities OF
the east. The city people had read the
speeches at an earlier day. IL they were
on subjects hitherto untouched they were
printed In full, but otherwise not How
ever, In nearly all the papers in each
state which the president entered his
speeches were reported fully. They were
local issues" In the village houses and
the farm houses Of the northwest the
presidents words OF explanation and oil
argument were read. He reached millions
with everything that he had to say tbs
millions who could not so to the town
hall or to the railroad station.
From the ADMINISTRATORS point oil
view, an understanding one way or the

Governor Vardaman seems to be
going into the senate from Missis-
sippi under a cloud. What aNshock
II must be to the galleries that so
often applauded his grandstand acts
of honesty ana courage to hear that
the attorney general OF his own state
OF Mississippi has brought suit to
compel Vardaman, now senator-elect,
TO make an accounting OF several
thousand dollars OF state money,
which was not fully accounted for
by him when he finished his term as
governor. II is intimated that Var
daman padded some OF his junket and
expense bills and that he did not
keep his personal deposits as we'll
divorced from certain state funds In
the bank as he might have done.

Census Figures.

Following is given the census re-
port of Sullivan County by towns
and townships according to the
official Figures o: Director e. Dana
Durand: Cherry, 2s16; Colley,
1898; Davidson, 1464; Dushore,
S13; Eagles Mere, 1884, Elkland,
S47; Forks, 633; Forksville, 109;
Fox, $50; Hillsgrove, sos; Laporte
Borough, 245; Laporte Township,
56S; Shrewsbury 800; total II, ,293.
The total population of the county
is S41 less than ten years ago. 1t
is difficult to tell whether Laporte's S
population has decreased or in
creased in the last decade owing to
the fact that the Tannery popu-
lation has in that time been
changed from the Borough to the
Township, but it the general
opinion that there are more people
in the borough than when the 1900
census was taken.

To Improve County Fairs.

John Hamilton, farmers insti-
tute specialist of the United States
Department of Agriculture, has
just prepared a report advocating
government help for county fairs.
His ideas are principally along the
line of using these fairs to demon
strate the results of scientific farm
ing to unprogressive agriculturists.
The prin ,ipal trouble with these
fairs is not necessarily that vaude-
vile shows, balloon ascensions,
and horse trotting are so promi-
nent. After the solumn isolations
of cross roads or hill town life, let
the farmer have his fun once
year.
The worst of the fairs is their
tendency to routine. When the
same old cattle from the same old
barns from the same old farms re-
ceive the same old premiums every
year, the effects on good farming
is not very impressive.
What is needed is to make the
farmer see that by using the facts
of modern science, he can make
his soil and his domestic animals
more productive Towanda Re-
view.
