Senate and it is soon to be the law of
the land
That fine work was necessary to
bring about with such remarkable ex-
petition so unexpected result need
not be argued The fact speaks Tor
itself. The secretary Of state has had
more than his share of disappointments
during his term of office, but in this
episode he has shone brilliantly. The
last serious obstacle raised by Senator
Hale vanished under the persuasive APP
peals OF Mr. Knox The president had
hand in the performance, one may
be sure, particularly at that point when
the Panama canal exposition was given
to San Francisco at the price Of as
surances from the California delegation
that the new Japanese treaty would
not be opposed The distinctive feature
of the treaty, which is not an integral
part Of the treaty at ALI namely, the
accompanying declaration signed by Am
bassador Uehida to the effect that the
Toxic government viii maintain its
present policy of restraining emigra-
ton 10 America this feature, so inn
portant to consider, must evidently be
credited to the diplomatic ability of the
men who personally conducted the nego-
tiations.
In view Of the exceptional delicacy
of the japanese immigration question
and the extreme sensitiyeness Of the
people of California to the slightest
appearance Of concession to japan, the
country appears TO be under deep obliga-
tion to the administration for handling
the situation with such mastery skill.

THE POWER OF THE SINGLE BAL

THE POWER OF THE SINGLE BAL.
LOT.
Men who are entrusted with the vot-
ing franchise are prone to declare at
times that their individual votes count
for little or nothing in an election, and
that it will make no difference whether
they cast their ballot or not Such an
indifferent attitude to the power of the
single ballot was rudely shaken up by
che result of Yesterdays local option
vote in Barre. 1t perhaps may never
happen again in the municipal life OF
the community that only a single vote
intervenes between the two policies in
regard to the liquor question; certainly
the less likely it viii become as the vot-
ing population of the city grows. But
here for this once we have the object
lesson of individual responsibility at the
polls, Out of fifteen hundred odd votes
the majority hinged on one vote; and
two votes the other way would have
turned about the policy Of the city for
year 1t is on such slight advantages
as this that majortes swing Those
who have never realized ii before may
now have it brought foreibly to their
thought, that their single ballot, the
right of franchise, is worth great deal
to them and is not something to be
discarded to suit ones convenience
When men have the potentiality of
welding such power, is it worth while
for them to pass by their chance to ex.
ercise it? There is matter which is
worth considering by every voter in Barre,
every voter in Vermont, every voter in
the nation.

FROM COW TO cHURN.
Practical Points on Successful Dairy.
ing.

ing.
Under the head From Cow TO Churn,'
Prof. II. II, Dean OF Canada, in Farm
and Home, lays down the following five
essential and practical points on sue
eessful dairying; Z. The use of pure
bred dairy sires of butter producing an
cestry, which have the power to pro-
duce an upward variation in their pro-
gency. In word, use tried, mature
males in preference TO untried, imma-
ture animals. The practical difficulty
to overcome in adopting this plan is
to be sure that we are getting such
animals and that they are free from
disease and viciousness.
q Rearing all the heifer calves pos
sible so far as ssabing, feed and labor
will permit; testing the heifers by
means of scale and milk-fat test and
dscarding all those which do not come
up to minimum standard Of 250
pounds of butter at the end of their
second laetation period.
3. Feeding the cows on milk-produe-
ing foods such as grass, clover, corn,
mangels, oats, peas, bran, and oil cake,
gluten or cottonseed meal Feed lib
orally of rnalqhage, and of meals ac-
cording to milk-fat production--six to
eight pounds of meal for each pound
OF milk fat. The proiitableness or 9TH
erwise OF a ration can be determined
only by experiment. Each feeder ought
to be an experimenter with individual
cows. as well as with the whole herd.
4. Maintaining the health, vigor and
constitution of the cows by sanitary
stabling. which means clean, light we'll
ventilated buildings, and cows kept
clean by the use Of comb and brush,
or vacuum cleaners; and reasonable
amount of exercise in fresh air and sun
shine
5. Clean milking, with immediate
separation of a cream testing rs to 30
per cent. fat together with cooling Of
the same TO temperature Of 90 de-
grees Fahrenheit, or lower, and main
tanning the cream at this temperature;
also the washing of the separator after
each time Of using At this point the
separate responsibility of the COW own
er and cream producer usually ceases,
and the creamery owner, along with
the cream hauler or transportation com
panv. assume share of the butter bur
den, except in cases where the cream
producer delivers the cream to the
creamery.

Five years Old.

Wen, little girl. you are years old,
And the world is a wonderful place
to youj
And every man is lover bold,
And every boy is a soldier true,
And everything in the world is bright,
For sorrow and trouble you haven't
met,
That little heart, I am glad tonight,
Has to encounter its first ache yet.
And once your daddy was years old,
But that was long, long time ago;
And his eyes were bright and his heart
was bold,
And he loved the flowers and he loved
the snow.
He loved the fairies that dwell in trees
just as you love them yourself to-
And he loved the birds and he loved the
bees,
But those are the joys that have
flown away.
And you will grow up and the world
will change,
Your eyes sometimes win be wet with
tears,
For out in the world there is much
that's strange
That you'll come to learn in the flu
ture years.
You will taste Of sorrow and heartache,
too,
And disappointments and griefs and
woes,
But your daddy knows you'll be always
true,
For God never fashioned an ugly

Mr.. Garfield is in Washington, but

1t is said that Mr.. Garfield consult
ed Mr.. Roosevelt before he decided
to oppose President Taft on the floor
of the convention and that he will
have his active endorsement and sup

A few weeks ago stories from White

PLAN OF ACTION
IS MAPPED out
Concerted Efforts to Stamp Out
Cholera at New york.

New York, July 20.-Foilowing a
general conference at quarantine be-
tween the federal, state and city
health officials it was announced that
plans for concerted action in guarding
this city and port from the cholera
had been fully mapped out.
Two big Italian liners, crowded
with immigrants, are due here short
ly-the San Giergic, from Naples, and
the Prince di Piemonto, from Genoa.
Both will be detained at quaran-
tine. Their passengers will be land
ed and held for ten days, while bacte-
biological tests will be made.
The discovery of five cholera car
riers among the supposedly healthy
patients on Hoffman's island came as
an unpleasant surprise to the doctors
and disclosed in a startling manner
that only by the most extreme exam
ination methods will 1t be possible to
detect all persons having the disease
germs.
1t was said that not single one OF
the five cases would have been dis
covered had an intestinal bacteriolog
ical examination not been made. The
germs would probably have lain dor
mant for long time or been com.
municated to others a month later.

a fiat denial that he had written the
"Dick to Dick" letter. Mr.. Ryan said
he did not know President Taft's
brother, nor did he know former Sec
retary OF the Interior Ballinger well
enough to address him except by his
formal title.
Mr.. Ryan said that the firm he was
identified with had no connection with
the Guggenheim interests, either di-
rectly or indirectly, so far as he knew.
I'VE wanted land in Alaska that we
were willing to improve at our own
expense" said Mr.. Ryan, "and there
was nothing to suggest a grab In our
proposition.
There was never time that / tried
to get one foot of ground at Controller
bay in Alaska that the request was
not absolutely on the level. / never
tried TO use one bit OF senatorial, So
cial or any other interest In advanc-
ing my requests. Everything was
based on pure justice.
And now, one last word: / never
wrote such a letter or such a post
script or such an address. do not
know Secretary Ballinger well enough
to address him by any name excepting
his formal title.
II do not know President Taft's
brother even by sight and could not
possibly refer TO him. This note made
public by this woman seems to me to
be something crazy"
