BIRDS AS COMMENTATORS.
(From the Brattleboro Phoenix.)

(From the Brattleboro PhOentx.)
Something great deal more substan-
tial than sentimental regard for the pres
ervation OF game is to be urged In sup
port Of a bill which has been favorably
reported to both houses of Congress to
provide federal protection for migratory
birds. Although these measures are be-
Ing earnestly supported by sportsmen,
the most powerful arguments in their
behalf are agricultural and economic.
The preservation of the birds is essen
tial for the preservation of vegetation,
for tho birds, and the birds alone. can
be depended upon to keep insect pests
in check. How serious an inroad these
Insect enemies are is stated in a striking
way In the report of the Senate COM
mittee in favor of the pending bill. 1t
is pointed out in that report that the
loss to the country through insect pest
amounts to ssn.oo0.Oo0 annually. an
amount sufficient TO rebuild and endow
the 600 existing colleges in the United
States, AMI to build 80 new universities
with an endowment Of 100000 each AS
effective measures for the prevention OF
this appalling annual loss can not be
hoped for through state legislation, the
imperative need of national Legislation
is only too apparent.

We ventured the assertion the other

at the present time Is not more laws
but measures looking to the material
development of our commonwealth. It
Is gratifying to note the extent to
which this fact Is being appreciated
on every hand, and judging from plat
form announcement II Is safe to say
that the next administration will pay
particular attention to progress along
these lines. Here is how the Benning-
ton Banner states this need in Ian

sn..r-RpIp FOR VERMONT.

One Of the slogans Of the new political
propaxanda - that the people shall have
genuine self government. This Is some
thing that can not be too thoroughly
realised. There is never danger that the
people shall r,ie Themselves more than
they should. in the true sense OF the
term. for though they may make mis-
takes at times, these in the end will al
ways remedy themselves.
The people Of Vermont especially be-
lieve in self government ana home rule.
They inherited this spirit from the
Green Mountain Boys Of the colonial
period. made glorious by the deeds OF
Ethan Allen and his colleagues, and the
State will not easily be led away from
the ideals then established.
How would 1t be. n band OF rich
capitalists in New York were to say:
I'VE were unable to handle the New
Hampshire Grants. but we can send
money into the State now and rule the
territory by securing control of the ball
lot box?"
Would not such spectacle stir the
blood OF the present sons Of Vermont!
Now let us go step further and sup
pose that a certain crowd of capitalists
were to say: 1--WE want a national law
maker that will carry out our bidding
and we may get one in Vermont, If We
are willing to pay the price"
Would not the people of Vermont re-
sent any such imputatiOn?
Let us go a step further and suppose
that the very people who are bowling
that the people should be given self rule
should give the lie to their pretensions
by sending harvester trust money into
Vermont TO elect national lawmaker
What would the answer of the peopl,
| Of Vermont be to such proposition
and what should their answer be?

CANDIDATES FOR THE STATE SEN
ATE

Burlington bids fair to experience
an unusually lively and spirited CAM
paign in connection with the State
Senate. Chittenden county has gain
ed one senator as a result Of the re-
apportionment following the census
OF 1910. and considerable discussion
has arisen as to what disposition
should be made of the extra senator.
Hitherto Burlington has been con-
coded one senator while the territory
south of the Winooski has had another
and the north siie the third. The
question has been debated whether
the fourth senator should be passed
around beginning with the north side,
or whether in view of the large popu-
lation of the city a conce ssion should
be made to Burlington.
Whether this factor has caused I'M
usual interest to be attached to the
senatorial contest in Burlington GER
tain 1t is that an unusual number of
candidates have appeared in spite of
the fact that a considerable number of
our people have favored throwing the
extra senator this year to the north
side
