CURRENT COMMENT
A Gubernatorial Suggestion.

| Vermont win elect governor next
| November and already several names
have been mentioned" and some papers
have laid down the rules which the Re
publican party must follow if it woulC
continue its existence. SO the campaign
of 1914 is beginning and we would sub.
nit a few suggestions.
First, the Republican party should
support man for the nomination with
other qualifications than those of fat
pocket book. With the exception of the
late G. j. Bell, candidates for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor for the
last decade have been men of wealth
and it is a matter of common knowledge
that their elections have cost them large
sums of money. The majority of Yer.
monters are opposed to this kind OF pol
tiles but they have never organized
enough to defeat ii. So long as men OF
money are put forward as candidates
money win have to be spent to put them
into Office and it doubtless will be done
as long as money is able to overcome the
latent opposition to it. In view of these
facts it would seem advisable for the
Republican party to unite upon some
man Nhoct uAt ihVAt wv
dent than his money.
A man is needed at this time who
has stood for further legislation in the
interests of the public, man with
courage enough to stand for only what
sane Judgment approves rather than
everything popularity labeled progressive,
man trained in public work with a
record that will inspire confidence re-
gardlcss of party divisions. Vermont has
such man and, without declaring our
selves for or against any of the men
mentioned" we state his name to be
Guy w. Bailey, secretary of state.
Mr.. Bailey could not and would not
accept the nomination il it meant the
expenditure of good sized fortune to
secure it. He is credited with other
political ambitions. But the Republican
party has given him liberal recognition
for years and he can not now consistent
ly refuse TO serve the party where he
can do it the greatest good. Our sug-
gestion at this time is that the Repub-
lican party can greatly strengthen itself,
arouse genuine enthusiasm and win an
honorable victory if it will unite and pre-
sent to the people the name of Mr..
Bailey for governor in l9l4.-St. Johns

THE LOSS OF DARTMOUTH GAME
To BOSTON.

Whatever other false premises he may
start upon, Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston
is right, it must be admitted, in stating
that the city of Boston loses not a lit
tie by the cancellation of the annual
Dartmouth football game by Harvard
university. OF course, Harvard is not
arranging its athletic schedules on the
ground that such and such games will
bring business to Boston; the university
follows its own line of thought in Sc
Letting teams for competitors, with lit
tie or no regard for Boston, or that part
of Boston not included in the university
family. If it were arranging schedule
with view to getting the best draw
ing cards, surely Dartmouth would not
be left off the list, for the annual game
with the Hanover institution brings
thousands into Boston, who carry in
considerable sum of money and who
leave most of it in Boston and its vi
entity. Moreover, many take that time
Of the year to transact business with
Boston firms, combining business and
pleasure. Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont send down people in large num-
bers, while other states OF New Eng
land add their quota, all of them with
legal tender that the hotel keepers, the
restaurant owners. the mercantile firms,
the cab drivers, the theatres and many
others eagerly seek after-and get, let
il be added. Therefore, little wonder is
It that a man who is seeking after the
commercialadvantsge Of Boston, as Mayor
Fitzgerald is, should find fault with the
act OF Harvard university in cutting
Dartmouth of the schedule. 1t is quite
> blow to Boston.

pie who properly belong somewhere else.
The notion prevails that insanity is
rapidly increasing. The number of in
mates are, but not the sufferers from
the affection Under modern conditions
larger number of people are so adj
Indicated, because those phases of life
which produce the biggest crop of candi-
dates, like the crowded tenements of the
cities, foreign population, unadjusted to
an American environment, etc, are con
stantly Increasing. But the doctors tell
us that some progress has actually been
made in reducing the number of the
mentally deranged And more progress
will be made with more money.
The state should break up its elephan-
tine institutions in the cities and spread
their inmates over large areas of the
country where some of them can cillti-
yate the land and otherwise develop oc-
interests, and where all can
get some slight measure OF enjoyment
out of life. The state should also spend
more money on physicians II should
raise the wages of the nurses, so as to
get more permanent class Of employees
and of higher grade. In these respects
our insane situation calls for improve
ment. But in all the fundamentals the
state is doing about as well as the means
now at its command permit. There is
no royal road to remedy. Conditions
that are bad are so from causes similar
to those responsible for bad highways,
etc, except that the good road has more

"Quo Vadis" Photo Drama at Opera
House Next Week.

Women and children are particularly
interested in George Kleine's mammoth
photo-drama production QUO Vadis"
which is to be the important attraction
at the Barre Opera house for three nights
and two matinees commencing with a
matinee Thanksgiving with daily matt
nees thereafter. The women reyel in the
beautiful love story that is unfolded
in the charming Sienkiewiez romance
while the children appreciate its vast
aid to their study of Roman history and
take particular delight in the big spec
tacular features-the burning of Rome,
the chariot races, combats OF the gladi-
ators and thrilling experience OF the
Christians when thrown to the hungry
lions in the arena-and the grown-up
children, the men, seem to enjoy it as
much as their wives and offspring. 1t

1t was most remarkable shooting
accident that was recorded in a Massa-
chusetts town during the open deer sea-
son there, a hunter being shot as he
was carrying sthe carcass of deer on
his back. The skin of the deer was
visible above the tops of the bushes
and as it was moving, a party of hunt
ers blazed away at an elevation which
they considered would hit vulnerable
spot on the supposed animal, only to be
startled by human cry of distress as
one of their bullets found lodgment in
the leg of the hunter carrying the deer
carcass. In this instance, although there
naturally is sympathy for the injured
man, there is little, or no, inclination
to hold the other hunters responsible for
the shooting. 1t was very unwise
thing for the other man to proceed
through the woods with the carcass OF
deer on his back; indeed, it was moth
ing more or less than an invitation to
shoot, as all the indications were that
there was a deer stalking through the
underbrush. In view of the multiplicity
of hunters out after deer, one would
never have thought that warning against
such action was necessary.

INCREASES EGG YIELD
Salt in Proper Quantities Of Ma
teTial Benefit to Hens.
Food Prepared for Human Taste With
Mineral ls Not Injurious or Repel-
lent TO Poultry-Result a New
York station.

Il is q tradition that salt Is craved
BY, and is beneficial. to all domestic
and many wild animals. with the ex-
ception Of poultry, and that to these It
70 poison. That IN large quantities.
this is true is an undoubted fact. as
has often been tested.
Some years ago the writer was quite
horrined upon going to the barnyard
q afternoon to hnd a dozen or
more fine hens lying about dead. In
looking for the cause Of this sudden
mortality one Of the cows messes
was found to be ~uneaten, and a close
examination showed that the attend
ant, either through ignorance or care
ssness, had dumped upon it a pint OF
Balt-tOo much to be relished even
BY bossy-and after the cattle had
been turned into the pasture, the
chickens, that had free range, discov-
cred the bucket OF bran, and ate from
It freely, and so rapid was the action
OF the salt that some hens died but
q few feet away. An examination of
the crops confirmed the supposition
that 1t was the heavily sailed bran
that had proved fatal, says a writer in
the Farm Progress.
That food sailed to the human taste
Is not. however, injurious or repel-
lent to poultry OF nearly all kinds
is proved by the avidity with which
the latter eat and thrive upon the
table scraps, which include, besides
bread and meat. all kinds Of vege-
tables and bits Of pastry. Close OBJ
servers contend that chickens, espe-
cially, seem to need small quantities
Of salt in their food, and when given
a chance. win prefer this to unsea-
Boned grain.
What the exact effects of the slight
ly sailed ration might be on the gen.
eral health and productiveness Of hens
was made the subject of experiment
two OF three years ago at the New
York experiment station.
The feeding trial was made upon a
dozen mature hens, especially to as
certain the approximate limit Of the
feeding. For one lot Of hens salt was
gnixed in the food in increasing guam
titles, day after day, until it was fed
at somewhat mor than six-hundredths
Of an per fowl. or about one
half pint per day for 100 hens. More
than this produced diarrhoea in some
which disappeared when the excess OF
salt was withdrawn.
The test was made at the unpro-
auctive time of the year, but an un-
expected and gratifying result was
that double the number of eggs were
laid by the hens fed on rather over
sailed food than by any other dozen
fowls fed on u%nseasoned grain and
other rations.

DIP FOR scABlEs IN CATTLE
