A Remarkable Temperance Document
In the issue of the western" of
August 10, 1851, we have discovered
a remarkable temperance document.
1t appears that the Hon. Edward G.
Delaven, of South Ballston. N. Y, and
at one time Secretary Of State for
New York, had taken it upon himself
to secure the signatures of the differ.
ent Presidents of the United States,
that had served during his lifetime, to
the following document:
"Being satisfied from observation
and experience, as well as from med
| ical testimony, that ardent spirits as
a drink is not only needless, but hurt
full; and that the entire disuse OF II
would tend to promote the health, the
! virtue and happiness OF the commun,
ity; we hereby express u conviction
that should the citizens Of the United
| States, and especially all young men
discontinue entirely the use Of it, they
would not only promote their own per
sonal benefit, but the good OF the
country and the world. '''

Conservation In Vermont

The State legislature will be asked
to act upon an important measure
relating to conservation IN Vermont
that is proposed by the state forest
or, A r. Halves of Burlington. 1t
will limit the size of trees that can
be cut, provide a special system of
taxation for forest growing lands
and for the reforestration of other
tracts. Until it's provisions are made
public they cannot be fully discussed
but we question somewhat whether or
not this plan would be as beneficial to
thu state as one suggested by Clarke
c. Fits, former attorney general of
the state. Mr.. Fits would have the
state acquire as many natural reser-
voirs and as many places where ar
tificial reservoirs can be protitably
made as possible, and increase their
storage capacity. The state should
sell the power which it reserves for
use in times of low water by the
mills and manufactures along the
stream at as reasonable rates as
possible. This would increase the
minimum amount of power it is now
possible to secure along these
streams. To further increase the
minimum of power to be developed
he would have the federal govern
ment establish forest reserves in
the water shed which supplies these
storage basins.
This would relieve the state of a
part of the expense of conservation,
would give the state large forest
tracts under government regulation
and encourage the development OF
industries along the streams thus
benefited. 1t seems to be larger
scheme than that in the mind OF the
state forester and one that would
benefit a larger proportion of the
people. We have not studied out
the details of such plan but sub
NIT the suggestion to the people
and the law makers for their
Thoughtful consideration.

Danger in Ohio

Sometime ago we wrote concern
ing the thirty-four changes in the
state constitution of Ohio that were
made by popular vote in special
election held September third and
said we feared some of the changes
we're too radical to be safe. The
November North American Review
has an article written by the Hon.
Daniel J. Ryan who is the author
of a history of Ohio in which he
forcibly calls attention to some OF
the dangerous changes that we're
made. He says these changes were
accomplished by the labor leaders,
socialists and other reformers. He
saws. s'The amendments submitted
ranged in merit from the unneces-
sary and harmless to the vicious Rnd
revolutionary. Some were pure leg
islation within the power OF the
General Assembly to enact, as the
abolition of capital punishment and
reform in the civil jury system; 9TH
ers proposed measures that would
result in great financial loss TO the
state: as, for instance, taxation OF
state and municipal bonds and the
unrestricted imposition OF fifty
million debt on the people for good
roads; while others embodied a dis
tinctive socialistic regime, such as
the initiative and referendum, the
welfare of employees clause, and a
modification of the powers of the
court relative to contempt and in
junction"
He points out that only three per
cent of the voters who voted at the
previous election may petition the
legislature for the Enactment of
any law and if the legislature re-
fuses to pass it a petition with three
per cent more of the voters will re-
fer it to the direct vote of the peo-
pie. Changes to the constitution it
self may be voted on it ten per
cent of the voters ask it. The dang
er of this is the lack of interest the
voters show in these questions, only
one-fourth Of the electorate voting |
these important changes on the peo-
pie
Another provision of the new con-
stitution provides that Laws may !

be passed. fixing and regulating the
hours of labor, establishing a min
imum wage, and providing for the
comfort, health and safety, and gem
eral welfare of all employees; and
no other provision of the constitu-
ton shall impair or limit this
power
The mischief, as he points out, is
not in providing for legislation Of
this nature but in limiting it to en-
ployees only. 1t not only ignores
the rights of property and employers
but says that no other provision of
the constitution can limit or impair
this power. 1t refuses this beneficial
legislation to others and ties the
hands of the court in the matter.
Thus Ohio in it's anxiety 10 catch the
vote of the sociaIistic classes has
destroyed rights always given to
other citizens by it's constitution.
Mr.. Ryan says the federal constitu-
ton may protect them but the state
constitution does not. His article
shows very conclusively the danger OF
popular tinkering with the basic laws
of the state and the tyranny it is
possible for a minority of the voters
to force upon an inactive majority.
In view of these facts we repeat that
it will be wise for other states to
wait and watch the practical effects
of Ohio's radicalism before attempt
ing to follow in it's footsteps.

The Vermont Turkey

We publish in another column q
letter by Lieutenant Governor F. E
Howe regarding turkey raising in
Orange county. 1t is an interesting
paper for the older people as it des-
cribes conditions they well remem-
Der. 1t should also interest the
younger people because it suggests
to them a way in which they might
increase their income. The young
turkey is a delicate fowl until about
the first of July, but if it reaches
that period in good health it will
largely care for itself and increase
in value very rapidly. If the black
head disease works destruction
among the birds it should be inves-
tigated by the proper bureau of the
department of agriculture to see if
some practical remedy may not be
that will enable the farm
er to resume this once profitable
side line to farming. We certainly
hope the turkey will "come back to
the Vermont farms.

Campaign Publicity

This country has just had its first
test of campaign publicity in the
presidential fight just closed and
the results must generally be pleas.
ing. 1t certainly is a check on the
enormous contributions by single
corporations and individuals inter
ested in corporations and in this
respect tends to give the man with
out large wealth chance in the
race for public office. In another
way it handieaps him. A man with
out great prominence cannot attract
much public attention no matter how
deserving he may be. Nor can he
depend upon the public for small
contributions to create the necessary
fund to give him enough publicity to
win public enthusiasm.
One effect of the publicity law will
be a demand for the average man to
make some contribution to campaign
funds because large amounts are
necessary to a successful political
fight. 1t is surprising how much
agitation is required to arouse the
interest of the public. 1t requires
tons of paper and printers ink to
begin with. 1t requires large amount
of public speaking with the large ex-
pense of travel by the orators. 1t re-
quires local organization and
home to home work to get the peo-
pie sufficiently aroused to attend the
polls and express their choice by
ballot. All of these things cost legi-
innate money and it will not work
for the public good to require can
didates and a few of his friends to
furnish it. This money must come
from the individual purse of the pub
lie if it is to be free from faint and
if it is to help express real public
sentiment. So it must be evident
that on the public itself is placed
a new responsibility by the campaign
publicity law. The public will gen
orally approve of the law but it
must be prepared to meet the obli-
cations it places on the average man
f it is to be the success it should be.

less than half that sum.

less than half that sum.
The secret of it is this: There was
no federal law compelling publicity
for funds collected and spent in pre-
convention or primary contests-the
publicity that has finally come
through the investigation of the
Clapp committee having been forced
by Congress last August, in its reso-
hutton authorizing a sweeping in
quiry into the so-called Pemrose
charges. No one who contributed to
the pre-convention funds of various
candidates expected publicity and
there was some very free giving in
consequence. But there was feder-
al publicity law applying to funds
raised for the regular campaign and
the result is the shrinkage in that
sort of benevolence which we now
behold.
Does publicity harm the republic
by drying up the old familiar sourc-
es of campaign funds? Those who
think SO must be prepared to show
that the American people today are
les informed on the issues of the
present campaign, with it's total ex-
penditure since the conventions of
less than 100000 for three par
ties, than in previous campaigns
when many times that amount was
collected and expended by the parties
in educating the people. The
truth is that the people are now as
well prepared to vote intelligently as
they ever have been a week before
election, and their decision at the
ballot box will be the least tainted by
corrupt influences that has been re-
corded in 40 years.

The loss of power by the small
towns in case a direct primary law
should be passed has been effective
ly shown by some Of the Vermont
newspapers and it will have a strong
influence on the representatives of
the small towns The real issue on
this matter is whether a towns in
fiuence in governmental affairs
should be determined by the number
Of voters or the acres of back pas
lures it possesses. There is some
thing to be said for each but we
think it would be hardly safe to give
the people of the larger town power
to vote against the interests of the
smaller towns. The small towns of
Vermont are valuable feeders to
our business centers and any dam
age to them will eventually reach the
larger towns also.
