A Tribute to Vermont.

Yes. old Vermont, your name is dear
We smile whene'er of you we hear
For thoughts of your mountains and
lofty hills
With feeling of gladness our heart
oft fills.
Much has been said of this good old
By men of forgotten names.
But of all that is written in it's praise
There is much to say remains
No son of this Green mountain state
From the depths of his heart can say
That some other home is just as dear
And they're as happy away.
Oh, no. Vermont is home wherever
we go.
All hail to its peaks of snow.
And dreams so dear of it oft appear
AS the years they come and go.
It's sons and daughters are staunch and
true
For right and freedom they stand.
Noble of blood and courage, too,
And the best of this mighty land.
So we say, "God bless you, old Yer
mont.
Let Us sing your praise for aye
For the love that CLOVIS in our hearts
for you
Will remain with us till we die.

dence must not be studied as a
general condition. but as the abnormal
unusual state found in special sections
The 1910 census shows that in spite of
the steady gains of the rural states as
whole, thousands of townships have
continued to lose population. These
shrinking communities are found
everywhere except in the newest
portions of the West. The older the
community, the earlier this tendency
begins. The trouble began in New
England. but it is steadily growing

Montana and Wyoming, the rural popu-

large losses. The great state of Iowa,
the banner farming state of the West,
was the only one to suffer an absolute
loss in population. This DETECTION of
population is due to several causes.
Changes in agricultural method and
opportunity are responsible for much of
it. The rising price of land has sent
speculative farmers into the new
lands of the rich Canadian northwest.
The nations falling birthrate, espe.
cially in New England, has been po-
| tent factor in diminishing rural sections
and lastly, as has already been said,
the lure of the cities. The decrease in
population results in difficult and
perplexing problems. Symptoms of
rural decadence follow several distinct
stages, when the rural population has
lost its best blood. Roads deteriorate,
property depreciates, schools and
churches are weakened, isolation
increases and there is a strong tendency
toward degeneracy and decentralization.
Or. Josiah Strong says: If the migra.
ton continues and no more preventive
measures are devised. l see no reason
why isolation, irreligion, ignorance

R-WATSON-T TELEPHONE

The Burlington Free Press prints a
letter signed. ga Franklin Progressive
Republican, 4" in which the writer takes
occasion to praise Gov. Fletcher's work
on the telephone situation and sug-
gests his reelection in 1914. He says !:
81 predict before Gov. Fletcher gets
done he will have the facts and also
force the New England company to
connect with independent lines the
same as railroads, as was tried IN the
legislature. and possibly get other
things also. He does not appear to be
giving away his case IN advance
though.
Anyway, the telephone company may
try to drag this struggle along until
Fletcher retires. and try to get gov
ernor who will be neutral.
eff they do, thew will give US one
more reason why we cannot afford to
let Fletcher leave the Office at the end
of one term. He is the most progress
sive governor we could hope to get,
and some who might want to do what
he is doing might not know how, even
if they had the backbone to do it. He
appears to fear no interest no matter
how big.
81 hope he may be renominated and
reelected governor in 1914, though

anybody will scare the Governor from
