CONVECTION 81 the 18th April. 1850.
{ the dayton :B,iiE;ej' treaty..
Article ii. II .rs..dgreed that the
canal may be Constructed under the
auspices of the Govey9meht of the
United States, either diIaOHy at It's
own cost. or by gift or hoSA OF money
to individuals or corporations, or
through subscription to. or purchase
of stock or shares. and 'tEat, subject

;tS:. the said GoVefaEienf shall have
aRd e1tjey. al: the fights incident to
SUCH cSnstEuccs4, 3s.well as the ex-
clusite.figRt Of providing for the reg
ulation and management of the
canal.
Article III. The United States
adopts, as the basis of the neutraliza-
ton of such ship canal, the following
Rules, substantially as embodied in
the Convention of Constantinople,
signed the 2Sth October, 1888, for
the free navigation of the Suez
Canal, that is to say:
1. The canal shall be free and
open to the vessels of commerce and
of war of all nations, observing these
Rules, on terms of entire equality,
so that there shall be no discrimina-
ton against any such nation, or it's
citizens or subjects, in respect of the
conditions or charges of traffic, or
otherwise. Such conditions of and
charges of traffic shall be just and
equitable.
Notwithstanding this plain agree
ment, the last congress passed a bill
fixing charges for vessels passing
through the canal and then exempted
the coastwise steamers of America
from paying any charges. With these
facts before them, people can not
longer wonder why England feels as
she does. America has not played
fair in this matter and the rest of
the world knows it. There is reason
to expect that eventually it will be
compelled to abandon the position it
has taken.

The University of Vermont and
State Agricultural COIIe9

The University of Vermont and
State Agricultural College is a Yer
mont institution and exists primari-
ly for the purpose of educating the
youth of Vermont. The Colleges of
Arts and Sciences, of Medicine, of
Engineering and OF Agriculture are
all of the first grade and furnish ed
ucational facilities within the state
equal to any afforded by the leading
colleges of other states. Under pro-
visions made by the General Assem-
bly, the work of Agricultural Extern
sion will begin this year. A new
course in Agricultural education, de-
signed for the purpose of training
teachers of Agricultural Education
for the common schools, will be
opened with the beginning of the
college year.
Under the provisions of the Jen-
devine fund, limited loans of money
may be made to students of this
state pursuing their studies at the
University of Vermont. Certain
scholarships are also available for
worthy young people. For catalogue

Secretary Bryan and Peace


1t was announced last week that
the first of the international peace
treaties embodying Secretary Bry-
ans plans Ga treaty between the
United States and San Salvador) had
been signed and would soon be sent
to the senate for ratification. Twen-
ty-six countries, many of them great
powers, have approved the plan of
Bryan and it is expected other trea-
ties will be rapidly signed.
The Bryan plan is an agreement
between the high contracting parties
that all disputes between them of
any nature which cannot be adjusted
by diplomacy shall be submitted to
an international commission for in
vestigatiOn and report. Each coun-
try is to select one member of the
committee from its own citizens, one
each from some outside nation and
the two nations agree upon the fifth
member, this commission to be cho-
sen within four months after the
signing of the treaty. This commission
may act upon it's own initiative or
upon request of the parties in dis
pute and must make it's report with
in one year. After the report is
made, each of the disputing nations
may act independently, if it chooses,
on the matter Each nation also
agrees not to increase it's military
or naval programs pending the
investigation and report unless
threatened by third power. In case
third power does threaten one of
the disputants, it shall notify the
other and both are released from
the agreement to maintain it's MILL
tary and naval status quo.
So it will be seen that the nations
agree to have their disputes investi-
gated by an impartial tribunal, but
do not agree to accept the findings
of that tribunal. That looks like a
small accomplishment, but it would
be a brave nation and one that is
anxious for war that would ignore
the decision of the commission and
actually declare war. This plan
does not make disarmament safe, but
it will compel the nations to con-
slider their disputes very fully and
the probabilities are that after a
years investigation of any dispute
there would be very few wars.

The value of the State Board of
Health is we'll illustrated by its rec
ord as given by Pres. c. S. Caverly
at the annual school of instruction
for health officers. He said there
are not half as many deaths in the
state from typhoid fever and diph-
iberia as fourteen years ago, and
that the number of deaths from tu-
berculosis has been reduced thirty
five per cent, during the same period.
Last year there were only 347 deaths
from the latter disease. This i'm
provement in public health has been
brought about by the medical profess
sion, which makes its living on treat
ing disease. 1t is a very creditable
showing for the profession and sug-
gests the query, why would it not
be just as creditable to the bar of
Vermont to improve methods and
reduce the costs of litigation?

our going to Europe. And in that
time, it is a safe perdfctioh that the
Morgan horse, or development
from it, will still be recognized and
sought for. Meanwhile we must
take Normandy's heavy draft horses
for they are most profitable in
many kinds of work.-Manchester
Union.
The Governor and Judges
The Randolph Herald is right
when it says that the natural thing
would be to reappoint the justices
of the superior court whom the Gen
eral Assembly, representing the peo-
pie, has repeatedly elected. To do
anything else would be taking a re-
sponsibility that few executives care
to shoulder '-Morrisville Messen-
ger.
And yet, to tell the truth with
brutal frankness, we all know that
among the superior judges there are
some that have proved incompetent.
The governor on assuming Office
subscribed to an oath to so execute
the duties of his Office as to do equal
right and justice to all men. Is it
the governors duty to re-appoint
a judge who has been proved incom-
petent? In other words, because
the legislature erred, does that bind
the governor to perpetuate the err
ror? In this connection there is
another issue that must be faced in
the near future. Chief Judge Ro-
we'll of the supreme court of Yer
mont is almost eighty years old. 1t
is not in reason to expect that he can
serve the state much longer. When
the vacancy comes in the supreme
court should the governor appoint
the senior superior judge, or should
he be free to go outside and pick the
man whom he deems best fitted for
the place? Our guess is that the rank
and file of the people won't be very
deeply offended if the governor,
when he COMES to name judges, Sc
lects the best and strongest men
available, even if they are not all re-
appointments.-Ben Banner.

Why England is uncomfortable

Much comment has been made re-
Gently about the refusal of Eng
land to take part in the Panama
Exposition and the rumor that Eng
land intends to build strong fortifi-
cations on the Bermuda Islands.
Both of these acts are unusual for
that country and may we'll cause
wonder why it is departing from
its long established customs with the
American Nation. Here perhaps is
the explanation of it. We are in
debted to G. H. Cross for a copy of
the Treaty between the United
States and Great Britain to Facili-
tate the Construction of a Ship

The Vermont Press

In speaking of the suave repre-
sentatives employed by corporations
to work with public agencies, the
Free Press says: THAT is the style
of a representative trust usually
employs and that is why some OF
US newspaper men find it SO difficult
TO oppose them, especially when we
have unwisely borrowed money from
them to help buy equipment or IN
other ways become a corporation or
gan. as once in a while happens. The
charge that the press of Vermont is
placed under the control of corporate
interests and false to its duty to the
public is a serious one and one We
believe is not so we'll founded as 1t
was years ago. If true to any eX-
tent. it is a discredit to the press as
a whole, and is a matter that should
be agitated until corrected.
Why is it that a newspaper man
should borrow" from representa-
tives of trusts? Perhaps the first
, reason is he needs money. Then the
CORPORATION has it and seems an easy
source of funds. We do not be-
Iieve the average newspaper man
likes to receive money from source
that entails the sacrifice of his indie
pendence and judgment, but his nee
essity "ompels him to seek it where
it is the most available. Look
little further into the newspaper
mans necessity for money. Often he
is a poor business man. He does not
realize the value of his service-and
that is all the newspaper man has to
sell. service through his advertising
columns, through his distribution of
the news, through his discussion of
public affairs, and through the pro-
ductIon of helpful printed matter in
his lob printing Office" If he does
realize the value of it, he is either
afraid to charge what he knows it to
be worth or else is prevented from
doing so by competition with men OF
his profession who know less than
he does. The result is the same in
any case, lack of money because he
is not properly paid by his custom
ers.
The remedy is suggested in the
statement of the cause. Any man in
the newspaper or printing business
should charge a fair price for what
ever service he is performing. II his
readers demand an eight or ten page
home print paper instead of patent
inside sheet he should get the proper
price for such an expensive paper.
If he is doing a LOB" for Brother
Tightwad he should charge him his
proper share of the depreciation of
his plant and machinery and so on
through the line.
We do not believe newspaper
men as a rule are bad or mental, but
they have existed so long on under
pay and in their extremity appeal to
supplies willing to furnish money for
service of a questionable character
that their independence and indu-
ence have suffered. The press OF
Vermont could do valuable service
for itself and for the public if it
would consistently advocate just
COMPENSATION for service rendered
and expose any member of the craft
who attempts to secure from i'm
proper sources the compensation he
should demand from the proper
source, his customers.

ImprOving HOrse F1esh

It is interesting to note that while
the agricultural department has lent
its influence, and wisely, to the en-
couragement of the revival of the
Morgan type of horse, which, for
general farm purposes in America is
unsurpassed-tha is to say, where a
horse is needed for all round work
on the farm and as a tolerably good
roadster at the same time-the i'm
portation of horses from abroad con-
tinues A steamship arrived in New
York the other day with horses on
board valued at more than a quarter
of a million of dollars. They were
not race horses, either, brought over
for sport, but big work horses, chief
ly from France and Belgium, such as
are needed more and more in the
cities and on the main highways or
the country. They will be used to
| improve the stock on which millions
of the users of horses must depend.
1t is true that the natural move
ment of horses would be in the OPP
posite direction, across the Atlantic
to Europe, rather than from Europe
to this country, but in some respects,
and horse breeding for special pur-
poses is one of them America is still
young. Centuries have gone to the
development of the specialized Euro
pean horse. 1t is the superiority of
the horses bred in Normandy and
Belgium which determines the pres
ent movement of traffic in such stock.
America goes abroad every year for
many fine animals to improve the
stock in the United States because
that is the best way to get the
quality desired But it will not be
long before this will be changed.
Then the number of horses and 9th
Ter cattle in the United States of the
very best type will be so great that
Europe will come to us, instead of
