was adduced, the Jude could not legally
nor correctly omit entering those names,
provided chat the owners thereof fulfilled
all The other requirements, under the law.
But when other men, though possessing per
haps ten times more income than the first
mentioned ones. do not at all present them
selves or request that they be entered rs
voters by the right Of income, then, of
course, the Judge of the Board, can Ger
tuinly not place these high toned gentlemen
on the list as voters. This is q fact, 50 much
beyond controversy that it awakens grave
doubts rs to whether Mr.. Abramson has
knowingly affixed his name to a paper as
that under consideration, he being Il well
known astute commentators of the existing
Laws; what the gentleman conld and should
have done was to present his protest when
he saw such anomal y-lf such there be
beyond his cOnception-ln the right place
and at the right time instead Of filing the
valuable columns of this valuable paper with
irrevelant remarks; pity the honorable
gentleman did not openly bless US with the
information that he wished the whole ticket
in his favour and those to whom he had
transferred his eligible rights, namely Law
yer Nielsen and his party. Now we turn to
the individual Candidates proposed:
/. Stakemann and Creagh. 1t is certain
that these two gentlemen have a long and
meritorious career to look back on in the
public legislative service. Both of them
have from time to time been members and
Chairmen of the Colonial Council at periods
when the public Legislative work was at it's
highest; they have at least endeavoured
on all occasions to do and perform whatever
was required CT them carefully and con-
scientiouslv, and never has the community
had any real and grounded cause to com
plain, we'll knowing that members are not
bound by any dictation of their constituents
but by their own conscience. 1t is there
fore not out of the way When their old con
stituents wish to retain their proved yalua-

though it is reasonable to expect there is
not much left to be achieved i'll the nearest

The approaching elections of Mem
bers for the Colonial Council has given rise
to an unusually lively correspondence in the
Press of the Island. 1t might be tie right
moment for an outsider to comment Oh the
different stands taken by the different par
ties engaged in the correspondence.
Mr.. William Abramson, prominent grocer
of this place, planter etc, etc, has in a let
ter, signed by him and published in the
Bulletin, explained the result of an exami-
nation he has made in the list of voters for
the approaching election; therein he states
that he had found q couple of obscure names
Che means of course names Of obscure mem
on the list who ought not, as far as he
knows, to have been there, while other men
known to be in possession of o large and
ample income warranting their being enter
ed on the list of voters, were not there, the
reason of that was not easy to explain eX-
cept that the owners CT those first mention.
ed names were known to be sure voters in
a certain direction while the others could
not be reckoned on, this, he thought, was
wrong, and the Judge of the Electoral Board
ought not to have let it pass. But the hon
durable gentleman knows the Law; he knows
that the Judge can enter no one on the list
of voters except at the request of the party
concerned; when the gentlemen with those
obscure names requested to be entered on

New England and ( aitIe

The Hartford Post: A former sheep rancher in Wyoming, but now a resi- dent of Boston-E. l.. Pearson-touch- es an interesting point in New Eng land history when he declares that though this section of the country once furnished nearly all of the meat and most of the wool used in the United States, today New England gets five sixths of its meat,elsewhere and all of it's wool from other States and foreign countries.
 But yet more interesting is his dec laration that the ranges in Wyoming and Montana ,cannot compare with the unused ranges in Vermont and New Hampshire. In this connection he says;
 "For over hundred years sheep and cattle survived and that country would today be producing great quan. titles of wool and an immense amount of beef If Il were in hands of western men, who would see that the right kind of grass was grown. In five years the great ranges of those states could with proper attention greatly reduce the price of meat and wool.
 While we have been building up the manufaetolies of New England We have been permitting its agricultural and stock raising to fall 10 the very minimum. For far too many years these six good old states have rested

Gold Medal for School Children Authors

A gold medal to the school boy or girl between the ages of 10 and l5 who writes the best composition, not to ex- ceed 800 words, on the repair and maintenance of earth roads, is to be awarded by Logan waller Page, di- rector, office of public roads, United States department of agriculture, Washington, D. C. All compositions must be submitted to Mr. Page before May l5, 1913, and the medal will be awarded as soon thereafter as the com. positions can be graded. The eompo. sition may tbe based on know ledge gained from books or other sources. but no quotations should be made. After many years experience in deal ing with the public road situation of the country, it is MT. Pages belief that ignorance on the subject of repair and maintenance of roads is as much the cause Of their bad condition AS any other one factor. It is expected that the competition will bring about bet. ter understanding of the subject of re. pair and maintenance in the rural dis tricts. Many children living in the rural districts have experienced the disadvantages Of roads made impas- sable through a lack of proper main- tenanee and it is expected that their interest in the competition will stimu- late greater interest among the parents. Bad roads have prevented many ehil- dren from obtaining proper eduea- ton and have even prevented doctors from reaching the side of rural patients in time to save their lives. Any child between the ages mentioned, attending country school, may compete. only one side of the paper must be written

under the ban of being lands of aban- sides on which nothing but wild grass and brush will grow. Let's set about to bring about a renaissance of New England agriculture and stock raising. Let us make the effort to put both these branches of industry some- where on a par with that of manu- featuring and others that have con- tributed to New England greatness.
 In recent years we have come to know that the worn out farm is only a theory. That in reality under the proper kind of treatment the old New England farm can be made a money maker. An authority recently told { he writer that some of the best farm ing land in the country is right in the vicinity of Hartford and yet aspiring young people wander far afield to much worse.
 Foreigners who have taken up many of the ancient homesteads of this and adjoining states have shown us what can be done with them in the matter of fruit culture. Now comes this man who has spent years in the cattle and sheep business in the west to tell us that at least a part Of New England can be made to produce great quantities of beef and mutton His prediction is that "some day-and it will not be far distant--the eastern states will tear down the fences of abandoned farms and convert them into cattle ranges. Let. us at least try to make the prediction come some where near true by reverting to cattle raising on whatever scale we may and to go into general farming as fully as we can. That will help solve one of the most serious problems of the day for the general public, help to make life still more enjoyable in land of many peculiar advantages and fur nish a further incentive for young people to stay at home.

To Fig hi Vaccination

Joseph H. Cole, who recently re- moved from Putnam Heights to Rox- bury, Mass, has got into difficulties with the authorities for refusing to al. low his daughter Loula, former High school student here, 10 be vaeeinated. A Boston paper has the following to say regarding the matter and prints likeness of Miss Cole:
 "'I will let them prosecute me to the full extent of the law before 1 al- low my children 10 be vaccinated, in order that they may attend the public schools of Boston, declared Joseph H. Cole of No, S3 Bower street, Roxbury.
 T do not believe in vaccination in any form. It has caused death in my family and there have been eases where school children have died from its effects. l have ten children all liv- ing and only one is vaccinated. It is my oldest son and .he was yaccinated when he joined the United States army
 Cole recently moved here from Put nam, Ct., where he lived for twenty three years. At Putnam his children attended the public schools without having to be vaccinated, after Cole fought the school officials for nearly a year and was threatened with arrest. He declared: T went to the Roxburv High school with my daughter, Loula, eighteen years old. She was refused admission on account of not being vac- cinated. l shall continue to take her there every morning until she is ad- mitted.
 l have two other children whom I want to get into the Lewis Grammar school. They are thirteen and ten res- pectively. Then have an eight year old child who wants to attend the pri- mary school.

 Dr. William A. Gallivan, head of the Health Department in the public schools, said of the case: Cole came to me and asked to be enlightened as to tie state laws regarding vaccination. l started to show him and he refused to read them. There is only one possi. oie way for him to have his children attend the public schools of Boston and that is to get some doctor to sign a certificate stating that his children are not lit subjects for vaccination. If that did occur, of course, we would have to admit his children, but the chances of any doctor here in Boston doing that are pretty small. There is danger of his children being prosecuted by the tFnant officer if he Intentionally keeps them out of schooli'' ''
