The news article recently printed
in The Caledonian giving the reso-
luton authorizing the governor to
send a delegate to various conven-
tions about the country and the
state pay his expenses has attracted
a large amount of attention in the
state press. 1t seems to be generally
felt that the sending of man iden-
titled with the work to be taken up
at a convention and a work that the
state has a real interest in is a good
thing and the state should pay the
expenses of the man it asks to serve
it. But the sending of political
friends to conventions simply as a
political favor is reprehensible
practice 1t must be evident to
all that politics did enter into many
of the appointments made in the
period for which the statistics were
given, but we believe that the prac-
tice has been stopped and will not
be renewed very soon. To our mind
the resolution is all right but the
public should keep it's eye on its
administration.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-01-31

Our Dumb Animals announces
that the Massachusetts Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails and the American Humane Ed
ucational society are to erect a
hospital for the exclusive care and
treatment of animals on the Fenway
in Boston. It's estimated cost is
$3.50, 900 and $4,000 has already
been contributed from twenty-nine
states of the Union and eight for
eign countries. 1t is a great under
taking but it is possible that our
dumb beasts require as much at
tention and care as this expense in
dicates.

Col, Henry Watterson says that
he at Gov. Wilson's instance had
undertaken to assist his credited
managers in raising money to pro-
mote the Wilson campaign and the
story that Col. Harvey had under
taken to bring the name of Thomas
F. Ryan into the Wilson campaign
and so caused the Wilson-Harvey
break sis a lie made out of whole
cloth" In the same papers Gov.
Wilson says that so far as he is
concerned the statement he had re-
quested Col. Watterson to assist in
raising money is another lie. The
next development promises to be
the Wilson boom lying on the shelf.

children. Why then can't they do
the work.. They can, as far as ply
steal ability goes, but they won't, or,
at least they have refused to thus
far They have gone the way of so
many other boys and girls of the
country, have gone to indulge in the
joys of city life, to earn what seems
to them higher wages for shorter
hours of toll with opportunities for
social activities thrown in. But the
father is to give them an opportuni-
ty to come back and pick up the
reins where he is prepared to let
them fall Otherwise, Franklin
county will lose farm that has
shown itself worth while.
All of which is related because it
is typical of what is transpfring all
over the country; the desertion of
the country and the consequent
swelling of the non-agrarain, nom
food producing population. While
the food consuming element increas-
es, the producers decrease. Thus, it
is not surprising that in one way
or another, chiefly expressed in in
creased cost of food stuffs, the
country is getting a taste of the ul-
innate as described by Senator Bail
ey in these words: eff the farmers
should forsake their fields for a
single year, our factories would
close, our merchants would fail, the
grass would grow in the Streets of
our cities, and famine would sacri-
flee our forest and our bravest to the
fiend of hunger" This of course, is
the extreme, which never will be
reached, but it is significant.
How to remedy the evil, cannot be
answered by anyone in full because
it involves the solution of individual
psychology. But the answer must
be Keep the boys on the farm" And
to do this it will be necessary to-
Make farm life more attractive.
Make farming more satisfactory in
it's remuneration.
Make people give the farmer the
credit that is his due.
Make the city less alluring-
can be done
Make peoplere alize that farm life
is the normal life.
Make advances in the science of
distribution, although it may be
along lines socialistic.
And so on. Much is to be done
and it will be done, for Circumstance
eS Will force the necessary acC1On.-
[St. Adams Messenger.
Would Favor the Primary.
The position of Hon. Allen M.
Fletcher of Cavendish as regards a
primary election law in Vermont is
favorable to the trying out of the
experiment, although he admits the
belief that it has certain disadvant-
ages-particularly in it's tendency to
increase legitimate campaign eX-
penditures. He evidently believes
however, that the advantages are
considerably greater than the disad-
vantages in most states where it has
been adopted, and likely to prove so
in Vermont. With his positive con-
viction that it can be no cure-all for
political evils The Reporter is in
hearty accord. There is no such
thing as political or social cure
all, any more than there can be such
a thing as a cure-all for physical
ills And Vermont has no use for
''cure-all'' reformers. Nevertheless,
there must be progressive reform
the elevation of popular
ideals, which must come about
popular education and
awakening [SpringfeldRe porter.
