ae pllowing dispathch sent out

ExCongressman William G. Brant-

has landed what is said to be the
NEST enviable position in the law field
in the United States. He is counsel
for all the railroads of the South at
a salary said to be $4,000 a year with
all expenses paid. His clients main
tain splendid offices here for him be-
sides the payment Of his salary and
expenses.
MIR. Brantley's friends say that no
man has ever been more highly hon
ored than was Mr. Brantley when the
position which he holds was created
FOR him. rhe roads asked their eoun-
SCI e re- mmend the best man in The h.,
position. namely that of counsel for
all the roads in the South. Practical
" without exception they recommend
ed Mr.. Brantley as being the best con
stitutional lawyer in the country and
the man most fitted to look ont for
the interests OF the railroads in Wash
ington.
The various roads are still repre-
scented BY their individual lawyers,
who come to Washington as frequent
IL, perhaps, as they did before Mr..
Brantley was given his place. But
they are posted by Mr.. Brantley and
probably directed by him in many
cases. So Overwhelming were the en-
dorsements of Mr. Bryans ability
that he was permitted to name his
own terms"

A Sensible Move

Following the departure of par
ty of Boston business men for
a tour of South America to
inspect business possibilities
comes the announcement that
Baltimore merchants are planning
similar expedition. This is the
most intelligent effort that has re-
Gently been made by Americans to
develop a larger trade with South
America. The Munroe Doctrine has
not been a trade developing policy
but rather has created a spirit of
resentment in South America that
has retarded the development of
closer trade relations between the
two continents. Meanwhile the Eu-
ropean nations have made a close
study of the commercial possibilities
of South America and have made a
speciality of manufacturing goods
that the people of that continent de-
sired. The result has been a much
larger trade with them than the
United States has developed.
If American merchants and manu-
facturers will adopt the same meth
DDS, study the desires of those PEG,
pie and cater to their trade, we shall
soon see a closer relation between
the people of the two continents
and American influence instead of
being an expense forced upon these
people will be a source of profitable
business relations between the two
continents. Profitable commerce
is one of the strongest ties between
nations and has always proved a
successful promoter of civilized
ideals in all parts of the world. We
need it with South America.

The Help Question

LIVESTOCK-Rat than be
subject to the detestable behavior
of bum help any longer I have de-
cided to sell my herd of 81 grade
coWs-some have calves by their
side and some have calves not by
their sides. Bring your money and
get a bargain.
The St. Adams Messenger COM
ments on the above rather dolefully
stating that this farmer is not alone
in this experience, many other farm
ers being obliged to lessen their
acreage or lose their crops on &C
count of lack of help in harvesting
time. 1t is a very unsatisfactory
condition but we would inquire how
far the farmers themselves are re-
sponsible for it. That it has been
impossible to get help during the
recent years of industrial activity
by the old methods in lamentably
evident. But there must be other
methods. The western farmers sue
coed in getting help to harvest much
larger crops than are grown on
Vermont farms and the same is true
of the large manufacturers. Every
man with a large business is faced
with the help problem and if he
does not meet it successfully he
cannot carry on business.
The Vermont farmer who has
ffty-one good cows has a plant that
is worth operating even If the help
he has is incompetent and it would
be to his credit to study out a meth
cd OF getting good help. Nothing
can be accomplished by giving up in
the manner this farmer proposes.
Help can be secured If the matter is
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1913-04-30

taken up in a proper way. The state
commissioner of agriculture is try
ing to devise some practical system
for getting farm help in Vermont.
1t is not probable, if Industrial ac-
tivity continues, that it can be done
by the farmer acting as an individ-
uaI. But if several farmers of a
community would combine and say
we desire so many good farm
hands for the season the commits
sioner or some other agency doubt
less could secure a supply from
some good class of immigrants who
would go where they could live IN
the same neighborhood and meet each
other occasionally. Our suggestion
to the farmers would be don't lie
down before the difficulty but get
up and meet it by the same meth
DDS others are meeting it.

Er. Gov. Hadley on the Recall


nv Gov. Hadley of Missouri In
an address at Pittsburg last week
smoke some very sensible words on
+bo fauibility of the claim that pop
Mar will should be unhampereu'
He opposed the recall and cited the
recent impeachment and conVictlon
of a federal Judge to show that inc
naople already have an eneetlVe
remedy for incompetent or dlshones'
iudges. The present system TOO pro-
+ects the property and liberty OF the
individual as he cannot be deprived
of either except by process Oh law

And to subject judges to

the necessary tendency and result
will be toward the decision OF ques-
tions Of law and fact upon oasis

upon established principles OF rlghC
and human conduct.
The sooner the American people
realize that their liberty and rights
cannot be safely entrusted to popu-
lar feeling the sooner will the
country be ready to proceed with
actual reform. There could be no
practical reform by popular will be-
cause we could not tell how the

should hapepn to be feeling cross
they might reject today the law

sad day should it be changed to a
government of stomach and temper.

Will Not Be Done in a Minute

There seems to be a general opin-
ion throughout the country that we
are facing a new political alignment
and the progressives, prohibition
lists and socialists have paid agita-
tors in the field trying to build up
their respective parties. Each one
claims to be the only agent through
which political wrongs can be right
ed and of course is bound to get
some additions to membership as
the result of systematic appeals. To
the citizens at large we would re-
peat the words of Ex-Sen. Ed
munds:-"Ex citements and enthu-
siasms are not the best soil for the
growth of sober and equal laws and
that the progress we hope for, made
under such emotions, is likely to be

A COMMUNICATION

To the Editor of the CaIedonian:
Will you permit me space in the
columns Of your paper to inquire
What Constitutes a Moral Clean
Up. Is it simply the arrest of
people who are breaking every law
and then allowing them out on bail
and continuing their cases from
time to time while they continue to
ply their illegal business and break
the law as before? Are the authori-
ties afraid?

Cooperation Again

In an address before the National
Association of Cotton Manufacture
ers, Charles H. Fish, former pres
ident of the association, urged CO.
operation among the cotton man
ufacturers. He believed it espec-
tally desirable in dealing with the
labor situation so one community
would not be left to fight the battle
single-handed. He made this state
ment:-
Il do not believe that the victory
of winning a strike is more glorious
or more effective than the victory of
preventing one, and a proper or
sensible organization of the manu-
facturers throughout the United
States will go a long way in clear
ing up a labor situation, which is
now most threatening, and at the
same time operate to the advant-
age of the working man and woman,
our employees, as we'll as to the in
dustry as a whole"
We simply give this statement
to show that manufacturers who
conduct business on a large scale
believe that cooperation will help
them. If they need it how much
more does the consumer who does
business on a small scale need CO.
operation of his fellow laborers and
buyers in getting a square deal.
Keep thinking about cooperation and
what it may do for YOU.
