say that no promise can be given for
a lowering Of the prices before next

Some say the supply of cream IL

Vermont's Preliminary Campaign

Some people have been predicting
a lively campaign preliminary to the
State republican convention and
others have been striving to promote
a fight but so far as we have been
able to discover comparatively few
people in Vermont are anxious for
a big political scrap. In this eonnec-
ton the Barre Times says:
Thus far no great opposition to
the reelection Of State Treasurer Ed
ward II. Deavitt has been manifest,
so that he is very likely to pull
through another election Even less
opposition, If any at all, has been
made TO the reelection of Secretary
of State Guy w. Bailey thus making
his hold on the Office stronger than
ever. Auditor Horace f. Graham.
too. is no nearer displacement than
the others. The security of their po-
sitions is in marked contrast to the
uncertainty which surrounds the
Offices of governor, lieutenant Cover.
nor and attorney general"
The uncertainty which now sur
rounds the three places last named
may be far less pronounced in the
not distant future than at the pres.
ent time. The people have a way OF
quietly ironing out a situation in con
nection with contests of this charac
ter and public opinion will gradually
make itself felt in connection with
the nomination Of candidates for gov
ernor, lieutenant governor and attor
ney general Of Vermont.-Bu Burlington

Vermont can worry along pretty
well without the referendum. If
one we're sufficiently interested, he
could take a look at New York where
seven constitutional amendments and
one bond issue proposal are to be
voted on this fall. *l| All told,
the subject matter of the referendum
for the voters Of New York to con-
slider this fall is contained in pam
phlet of 10000 words to be given out
at the places for registration. At
this rate extended application of ref
erendum machinery is not likely to
become popular in Vermont.--Rut-
land Herald
Every town in Vermont has the re-
ferendum now in town affairs. Every
yearly town meeting in Vermont IS
an example Of the workings of the
initiative and the referendum. With
all due Difference to the Herald, The
Banner is of the opinion that it
works pretty well, and might well
and safely be extended to state af-
fairs. In Vermont towns the VAIN
ings for town meetings contain from
a dozen to thirty articles and the yo-
ters do not have any trouble in d.
costing them and being prepared to
vote when the time comes. Refer
endum would never be required or
asked on small matters but on the
big questions Of state policy, state
taxation and state expenditure. it
seems to The Banner that a referen-
dun would be a highly desirable
thing.

The Quick and the Dead

Two young men started in business
once with the srme amount of CAPT
tai. Each opened on the first day
of the month at identically the same
hour. The first year each was about
equally blessed with trade and closed
his books with a fair sized surplus.
One put his surplus in the bank The
other doubled his advertising outlay
and spent hundred dollars or so for
sign that could be read several
blocks away. Another year rolled
around and when each balanced up
his books the one who put his sur
plus in the bank found that he had
earned just about the same surplus
in he had the year previous, while
the other found that his had doubled.
They were thus equally we'll off so
far as cash was concerned-but one
had doubled his business Seeing the
principle Of the thing, the man who
had doubled his advertising appropri-
alton at the end of the first year.

First, that his father, then our min
lister to Great Britain, never sent
10 Washington any message asking
for bonds. Second, that the bonds
were sent as Mr. Chittenden asserts,
but not to Minister Adams, and not
for the purpose declared by Mr. Chit
tenden. They were taken abroad by
John NJ, Forbes and William Il. AS
pinwall, who went on a special mis-
sion devised by Secretaries Chase
and Welles. This mission was, by
purchase or otherwise, to prevent
the ironclads mentioned from going
to sea. So far from this mission be
ing suggested or requested by Mr..
Adams, it annoyed him and embar-
raised him.
The explanation Of Mr. Chitten-
denis error according to the Trans
cript is that Secretaries Welles and
Chase deliberately put him on the
wrong trail, as a precaution of secre-
cy, and he ran on that wrong trail
all his life. He was wrong a whole
year in his dates, but that is a detail
compared with the delusion he labor
ed under as to the origin and pur-
pose OF the transaction whose mys
terry ne thought he had unraveled fol-
history Many statesmen have act
ed as the two secretaries acted and
many a subordinate has implicitly
believed what his superiors told him

with conjecture, forms the basis Of
