"Poor Whites in Vermont.

1--WE are pleased to note that Senator
Dillingham; has introduced an impor-
tant bill in Congress that will impose
some needful restrictions on immiga-

pass as the immigration problem is a
serious one. A glance at the papers viii

This is certain not true Of Vermont,
although there appears to be more or
less common popular notion that the
greater part of the crimes committed
here are by people Of foreign birth. As
matter of fact the last report shows
that of the inmates of the state prison
at Windsor, l26 were born in the United
States and only 90 abroad, while in the
house OF correction at Rutland the ma
tiye-born number 206 and the foreign
born only ST. And Of these 200 native
born, l4l are Vermonters, men and wom-
en- reared alongside Of the little red
school house and the little white meeting
house!
Pretty much the same lesson is learned
from the census statistics Of illiteracy

lteracy is among the native-bon, not
among the strangers that have come

The fact IS that we are developing
something of poor white popula.

At last Governor Foss of Massachu-
sets has done something to satisfy the
most earping Of his Boston critics. The
something lies in his veto of the so-ealled
Lomasney bill relieving all applicants
for positions in the public service from
the present civil service requirement of
telling whether they have been convicted
of any criminal offense when under six
teen years Of age. For instance, here
is he Boston Transcript declaring: "The
veto serves a double purpose. 1t shows
that the governor is not disposed to
weaken the safeguards Of the civil serv-

smaller communities of the state, where
the paucity of numbers and their wide
scattering made the work not only not
lucrative, but actually losing venture
when time and labor are considered.
Hence, it is not to be wondered at that
positions of enumerators in these almost
depopulated communities were not
sought and that, in the end, the super.
visor was unable to get figures from
three places. These three unreported
communities are in Essex county, where
the dwiudling population is scattered
over considerable area. Averys gore,
Lewis township and Warrens gore are
the three delinquents, a gore is name
generally given to a strip of land of ir.
regular design and whose organization
is not complete enough for a town. No
other county in Vermont has so many
Of these little unorganzed communities
as Essex; and all the other thirteen
counties succeeded in turning in their
complete population statistics
However, the number OF people prob
ably inhabiting these three communities
in Essex county is not enough to materi-
ally alter the official population OF the
state. In 1900 Averys gore had sixteen
people, the population having dropped
from So in the previous census Lewis
township, the second Of the unreported
communities, had only eight inhabitants
in 1900 and none reported in 1890, while
Warrens gore had eighteen people ten
years ago and none reported in 1890
Very likely the population OF all three
places has dwindled during the ten years
preceding 1910 aud that the number is
purely negligible quantity. Notwith-
standing that inference, it must have
tried the patience of Supervisor Lynn
NJ. Hays OF Burlington that he was UNI
able 20 make complete report to the
census bureau. The number of other

has no knowledge of, must have been

A Significant Act.

One Of the most significant acts Of
recent date in Vermont's political life
was that Of the st, Adams district
Methodist association at its recent meet
ing in the town Of Richford. At the
conference in question Rev f. B. Blod-
gett Of Essex Junction read a paper on
the Ethical Aspects OF Party Plat

lican party leaders to account for the
acts Of deception and falsehood in viola
ton Of the party pledges. The twenty
preachers present with one accord de-
nounced the party line Of action in the
late legislative session. Several Of the
ministers threatened TO vote the Demo-
cratic ticket il present conditions in the
Republican party continued. The con-
ference Of ministers advocated the adop.

When fifteen PAGES is your lead
And the sheriff gaining fast;
When rent-day hobs up and each feed
You fear will be your last,
When debtors rise at one and file
The dreaded little "list";
When walking every little while
You meet shaking fist;
When pockets that once iingled loud
Are empty, and thus still;
When once you've sported with the

And blew it to its fill;
When once it was constant Joy

Twas easy then to laugh, my boy,
But smile now, blank you, smile.
