Vermont and Maine.

Inc other day comparison was
made of the Vermont and New Hamp-
shire census figures relating to the gains
and losses during the past decade on
domestic animals, poultry aud bees.
Today comparison of the Vermont
and Maine figures will be made.
In spite of the fact that Maine has
an area more than three time as large
and population more than twice as
great, the aggregate value of domestic
animals, poultry and bees exceeds that
of Vermont by only S2,5OS,973, but
Names percentage of gain has been
All while that of our own state has
been $50, The value of cattle exceeds
the Maine valuation, being sll, 1928, 1922
compared with s7,7S4,3s4, and our
percentage of growth is 1873 while that
of Maine is 90
While our gain in the value of horses
and colts, 6l.5 per cent, was regarded
as remarkable that of Maine is still great
er, being 1885 per cent and in aggregate
valuation Maine exceeds us by nearly
100000. The gain in value of horses
in New England is a noteworthy one.
The value of swine in Vermont exceeds
the Maine valuation by a slight margin,
but our percentage is 57.2, while that of
Maine is 1877. Names poultry valua-
ton is nearly twice that of Vermont but
the percentage of increase, 49.7 is nearly
the same as that of our state, which is
44.3. Although Maine reports many
more chickens, l,7O4 900 compared with
Oil, 1850 in our state, Vermont has IL, 643
turkeys while Maine has only 2948.
Maine leads in ducks and geese.
Maine has fewer bees than Vermont
but her percentage of loss is greater being
21.6 compared with 5,5 in Vermont.
Maine leads in the valuation of sheep
and lambs and her loss was 27.l COM
pared with 3S.S for Vermont.
The total number of farms in Maine,
60,016, is nearly twice Vermont's tot al
of 32,709. Considering therefore the
discrepancy in area and population be-
tween the two states, it is evident that
Vermont farms carry much more live
stock than do those of Maine.
We need to get rid of the idea that
Vermont is not first class farming
state. We have the facts and figures to
prove that it is one of the most produc.
tive states in the Union and we should
not be timid about telling our story to
the world. In these days when other
states are proclaiming their advantages
from the hilltop it is not profitable fol
Vermont to keep silent. We have the
material with which to do considerable
Boosting, and the present is good time
for the use of that Observation-Disclosures
Journal.

it can hardly be acceptable to that body. |
The House resolution Was 50 worded as
to remove the possibility of Federal in-
tervention in cases, for instance, where
the fourteenth aud fifteenth amend
ments might be sbrogated. The Senate
by sending the resolution to the people
with such a proviso as the Bristow

tirat manhood suffrage is as great an
incentive to self improvement on the
part of the colored race as it is to the
white man. Between the use of the
suffrage by the lowest class of white
men and the lowest class of the unfor-
tuaate race there is no difference what
ever. Though it was rough treatment
of vanquished foe to prematurely give
the colored men privileges and respon-
sibilities which they seemed at the time
to be wholly unfit for, it is but common
Justice to secure 10 the race such bene

Dillingham; and Page for the
Constitution.

The wave of popular demand for the
election of United States senators by
direct popular vote carried the United
States senate along on its crest Mon day.
That body voted, 81 to "a, to submit to
the various states an amendment TO the
constitution providing for direct election
Of senators. In the event of the approval
of the change by three-fourth of the
states the constitution will be thus al
tered.
1t cannot fail to be a matter OF salts
faction to thinking people that both of
the senators from Vermont voted against
the proposed change. 1t is generally
recognized that the theory of this
government, as founded by its fathers
was that the house be the popular" body
and The senate a body elected by the
various state legislatures. The popular
election of members of the upper house
will practically be revolution from thai
fundamental theory and will place both
of the houses upon the same basis.
Why there should be two houses o
congress, if they are elected in the same
manner, passes understanding. Senator

new hotel Thursday evening, with the
Governor, a congressman, a mayor or
two, other officials aud several hundred
representative citizens in attendance,
marks an important step in the eonsum-
nation of a widelyexpressed desire for
more aud better hotels in Vermont.
Good hotels are very powerful magnet
and on the other hand, poor hotels are
as powerful a repellent. For many years
Vermont has been repelling people be-
cause of the lack of good hotels accom-
modations, but latterly, the State has
been awakening to the needs and the
construction of the fine hostelry IN
Burlington is one of the indications os
the awakening. 1t will be surprising II
the new hotel does not attract a great
many people to Vermont, not alone at
Burlington, but to other places as we'll
Moreover the new hotel, although not
distinctively pioneer, will most likely
be the incentive for the construction oil
other hotels throughout the State, as
the benefits reveal themselves. 1t is moi
likely that so pretentious structure al
the Hotel Vermont will be erected, but
buildings which fill their fields as the
new hotel fills Burlington's. This il
said not in disparagement of the hotels
already established in Burlington, fol-
there were already some hostelries abov'
