Not a Vote From Vermont.


If the reciprocity bill is passed, as
its advocates claim it will be, it will
be done without favorable vote
from vermont. Congressman Foster
and Plumley voted against it in the
house. Sen Dillingham; has declared
against it in a public speech and
Sen. Page said the other day he
should not support it. He expressed
himself as follows:
When l became senator I told the
people of my state that when l had
firm convictions on any question
would cast my vote accordingly, with
freedom and without fear or scruple,
but that when l was undecided
would consult the wishes of the
people Of my state and use my best
judgment in weighing their wishes.
have been in doubt about Canadian
reciprocity, and have taken plebe-
settle of the people of Vermont, and
find that at least 80 per cent, and in
deed | might say IS per cent of the
farmers are opposed to the recipro-
city bill. And the farmers know
what they are talking about. The
extensive correspondence shows re-
markable range of information and
deep study and considerable indepen-
dent thinking. The unanimity of
their conclusions is impressive. I am
indeed quite impressed, and I shall
probably vote against the reciprocity
bill.

Conservation of Beauty.

Since writing an editorial under
the same title two weeks ago we have
read a paper prepared by State For
ester A. F. Halves and published in
the April number of American For
estry, entitled estate Ownership OF
Forests" The paper shows that Yer
mont has public servant with rather
definite plans as to the preservation
and development of forests. 1t also
contains much valuable information
regarding the profitable ownership of
forests by European countries. For
instance Saxony receives a net in
come of $5.25 an acre from it's for
ests, Prussia 50 per acre, Wurtem-
burg and Baden $5.O8, Austria $50
and Bavaria $2.54. No cases
are mentioned of state owned
forests that do not give a net
income In this way the state
forester shows that state ownership
of good timber producing lands is a
profitable undertaking.
Another purpose of state owned
Vermont already has two such for
ests, the Downer forest presented to
the state by Charles Downer and a
tract of $50 acres purchased in Plain
field. These are necessary but YER
mont cannot own enough tracts of
this size to make their educational
value uniform throughout the state.
Smaller tracts and more of them
doubtless would not be so profitable
in dollars and cents but would have
much greater educational influence.
The third type of state forest sug-
gested by the state forester is pro-
tective forests. These he does not
consider so important as the others
but he says:
''There are, however, in every
state certain areas which should be
acquired for protective purposes even
if not from the standpoint of revenue.
All steep mountain slopes in danger
of being denuded should be owned by
the state as clear cutting on such
sites is disastrous to the soil and
water supply held by 1T.
''In regions like northern New
England and New York where seem
cry is such an important feature,
many particularly beautiful forests
should be saved from destruction by
state acquisition. This is not SEN
timent on the part of the state but
simply matter of good far sighted
policy
Vermont is fortunate to have a
man with such a definite policy
working among it's citizens and they
viii do well to give his plans seri-
GUS thought. There may be better
plans. If so the citizens should be
informed of them but until better
ones are suggested we should try to
awaken public interest in these. Es-
pecially important is a proper un-
derstanding of the value of Vermont
scenery and the necessity of giving
it state protection. Scenery may be of
little value to an individual owner but
it is real attraction for the whole
whole community and should be own
ed by it. Much of it, especially that

on steep mountain slopes. once des-
troyed could not be replaced in CEN
turtles. Therefore the state must act
quickly If it would preserve and pro-
tect those features which should be a
permanent asset to it.

project is not dead. 1t is backed by

that. There is a vast amount of
other preliminary work to be done

the thing to do is get into shape to

The value of such an organization
as the Caledonia Forest and Stream
Club is making itself apparent. More
trout will be planted in the waters of
this section this season than ever. Not
only is the club causing an increase
in the number of applicants for trout
but it is getting the applications
made more intelligently and syste-
matically. The membership of the
club should not only be maintained
but increased during the present
summer as the maximum of it's bene-
fits are not yet attained.

The Waterbury school superinten-
dent is forming potato clubs" among
the boys and girls of the different
schools. In each school there is to
be a local society with the usual Of
ficers. The members report once
month to the secretary, who, in
turn, reports to the superintendent.
Each member cares for not less than
ten hills of potatoes entirely alone
and exhibits specimens of potatoes at
suitable place in September. These
are judged and for the best prize of
81 is given, second best SO cents, and
third best rs cents. Each child who
completes submits an original essay
telling about the culture of the po-
tatoes. The children are encouraged
to exhibit other vegetables at the
school fair and it is hoped that
small prizes may be given for these
also.
Prisoners Recaptured.
Two prisoners at the House of Cor
rection, George Cutting and William
ellis escaped on the evening of April
% by locking a guard in the engine
room and scaling the wall with a
ladder. Their liberty was of short
duration for they were captured on
Wednesday in Ripton. Because of
their break they must begin over
again their long terms which were
nearly completed. ellis was SEN
fenced from White River Junction
for 15 months for illegal liquor traf-
fic and Cutting from Windsor for
larceny. His time was up in July.

LIKE SPARTAN BOYS.
Canadian Youths Taught Endurance
 Through Exposure to Cold.

Whipping and exposure without clothes as a training in endurance of cold for the north Canadian native boys has curious points of resem- hlance to the training of the boys of ancient Sparta. They also were in ured to cold by being made to go barefoot and to wear the same clothes summer and winter; and they also underwent whipping. Only, cold seems to have had nothing to do with the latter. The scOurgings of Spartan boys before the altar of Artemis Orthia are supposed tO have been a relic of human sacrifice Gin some cases boys actually died under the lash). But they were undoubtedly utilized as training in. and a test of. boys competing tn see who could endure most without q sound.
 And how such Spartan training of boys among the natives of northern Canada would have appealed to one of the Camerons of Lochiel. Sir Francis Galton records that. when bivouacking with his son in the snow. Cameron noticed that the lad had

 Pending the report. of the commit- tee on resolutions T. c. Norris was called upon to address the conven- ton on what occurred at the meet ing Of the National Good Roads asso- citation which he recently attended. He was listened to with interest and when he had finished the resolution committee reported.
 There were numerous resolutions and the reading Of the first one de- NeIoped the fact that there would be argument and division over it and probably over some others. It was finally decided to take up resolution No. as there was no disagreement thereon. IL was done and the resolu- ton passed unanimously.

tinued Peterson. THE city comptroller is
welcome to the data at any time to fur
Their his investigation, which has been Or
dered by the city council.
1T will be an easy matter to force the
tenants to come across. l would suggest
that an appraisement of this property be
made and the ground rented on its value
instead of a lump sum, fixed with no re-
gard to value.
THE greatest abuse OF city property
right now is the practice of wholesale and
retail merchants in using property under
the sidewalks gratis BY the existing ordl-
nances subways are subject to rentals on
from curb to curb. which eliminates that
part of the ground under the sidewalks.
In my opinion a rental should be charged
for this, the same as for subways under
the streets.

amend the ordinance at different times.
but s0'far nothing has been done.
