The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1913-10-27

The worm has turned; the newspaper
correspondent who obtained the Sir
Lionel Garden interview, which the Brit
ish foreign Office repudiates, is ready to
make affidavit as to the correctness OF
the published conversation. Moreover.
he is backed up by the Associated Press
correspondent, who was present at the
time when the interview was given. And
to cap the defense, the leading news
paper in Mexico City printed the inter
view, and it was not denied by Sir Lion.
ell There has been so much questioning
of the correctness of statements by men,
big and little, as printed in the newspa-
pers, that it is gratifying to know here
is as instance where the newspaper cor
are ready to give oath that
the words were spoke by the indiscreet
Sir Lionel just as they appeared in cold
type.

tainments of such unquestioned excel
lenee and for purpose which is so well
directed as is that of the Barre Woman's
club. The quality OF the entertainments
provided by the committee in charge is
such that each and every number OF the
series is bound to appeal to great
many people OF Barre and surrounding
towns, as none but the best has been
scored. Therefore, those who attend are
assured that they will be getting full
value for their slight outlay OF money.
Aside from that, too, there is further in-
eentive to attend because of the knowl.
edge of the good work which the Barre
Woman's club is doing in Barre. 1t is
the intention of the club to use the pro-
ceeds of this entertainment course for
the furtherance of the projects for To-
cal betterment which the club members
have in mind. The entertainment course
is not run for any private gain; every.
thing above the expenses is to be turned
back into the work of the club and I'M

to be distributed among the various pro-
jects which are in view for next year in
Barre.
Such being the situation, ii is the
privilege of the general public to assist
in good work while at the same time
they are getting the benefit of excellent
attractions. They should bear in mind
that the first number Of the entertain
ment course comes tomorrow evening.

seats for the course should be augment.

CURRENT COMMENT
Beef and the Tariff.

That department of the present ad.
ministration that knows the most about
beef gives the people of this country
very little encouragement to hope that
putting that staple on the free list I'M
der the new tariff win appreeiably re-
duce its cost to the consumer. The
experts OF the agricultural department
eandidly confess that the cause Of the
present high prices of that article are
too complex and compelling to be over.
come by any such simple device as a
removal of the duty. The real reason
is that almost the whole world is short
of beef. There is not enough to 20
around. Argentina, upon which many
hopes have been rested because of the
recent tentative shipments to this coun-
try, is steadily falling off in the pro-
duction of cattle and whatever her sur.
plus over domestic consumption may
be, We shall find lively competitors for
it in other foreign countries. Last year
out of total stock there Of 10000
900, over 100000 cattle were killed.
Australia's contribution to the world
market is sheep rather than cattle.
Canada, like ourselves is raising few
er cattle every year, and Mexico, which
from its nearness and extensive grazing
facilities might seem the most promis-
ing of all potential sources, is not in
q condition to have much effect upon
the worlds food supply.
Will then, the prophecy of one of the
great packers that within 10 years
time sirloin steak would be bringing
dollar pound be realized? That is
not improbable if we depend upon the
machinery of supply and demand as it
is now running. The departments re-
cent bulletin dealing with this subject
says: IAN important reason why farm
ers produce less meat than formerly rs
to be found in the system of distribu-
tion from producer to consumer that
has grown up in this country. In most
of the countries of Europe public abat-
toirs have been constructed to which
farmers may consign their fat stock,
the meat from which is then sold to
the consumer without passing through
the hands of an interminable line of
each of whom takes his
toll"
The concentration and Capitalization
of the industry have undoubtedly been
among the factors that have turned the |
attention of the farmers of the East into |
other channels. That also. is the rea-
son why denstured alcohol has not
proved as cheap and as serviceable as
the public expected it would be when
the tax was removed, and why efforts
are being put forth to give the farmers
greater opportunity by having individ-
ual or community stills under govern
ment supervision The flour of the coun-
try, too, comes from the great milling
centers and the oldfashioned grist mill
which was a feature of every rural COM
munity has practically vanished. The
of beef is easier over these
extended radii than is the
collection OF the material to distribute.
That is why the packers are so wor
RED and why they are appealing to the
farmers to raise more cattle. But before

A Successful Woman's Start in Business.

In the October Woman's Home Com
panion a successful business woman tells
how she made her start She was a
widow and was left with children to
support. Her husband Archie Haines
left a running business at the time Of
his death, which, If it had not been
continued would have netted very little
real cash for the family to live on. Fol-
lowing il an extract from the story,
showing how she made her start:

In public speech, William Sulzer

shown by the following excerpt from his
opinion when voting not to convict Sui

turpitude and delinquency that, if they
had been committed during the respond

would require his removal" In other
words, the mere fact that Sulzer was
not governor of New York when the acts
were committed saved him from being
voted against by Judge Cullen; and it
deserves to be mentioned that Judge Cul-

been palmer. It is difficult TO see how
