recent attempt to prejudice people
against the work of the Carnegie
Foundation in Vermont. We are
glad to give Pres. Thomas an oppor-
tunity to express his views as he
wants them expressed and also glad
to note that he has issued state
ment in which he agrees with the
report of the educational commits
sion, except that he shall appeal to
the legislature for a generous appro-
priation for Middlebury.

AS the annual village meeting is
near at hand the average voter be-
gins to think little concerning viii
lage business. Generally speaking
the business for the past year seems
to have been performed in the usual
satisfactory way. The village in
tends to have it's boundaries fixed
by the coming legislature and it
would seem desirable that some 9th
er changes in the charter be pro-
posed at the same time and have it
all done at once. Isn't it time for
the village to adopt building regu-
lations that will prevent the cree
ton of dangerous fire risks in the
congested sections Of the town and
grant some definite power to enforce
the same?

TO INVENTORY FARM BUSINESS
100 Rutland County Farmers To
Know Whara They Stand.


Know Where They Stand.
The Rutland County Farmers AS
ISOLATION has secured the assistance
OF representatives OF the Extension
Service of the College of Agriculture
Of the University Of Vermont and Of
the different systems of farming An
this region. It is believed that the
best systems OF farm management are
the result of many years of farmersf
experiences. The object OF this work.
is to locate the best systems OF farm
management, to learn the good points
OF each and to arrange this informa1
ton in such a way as TO make III
available to all those who desire Il.
These men will take an inventory
OF the farm business for one yeaH
from January /, 1914, to January II
1915, on about 100 farms in the vil
cinity Of Dandy making a record OF
the acreages and yields of crops, aid
well as of the receipts and expensed
Tor the year. It In not necessary thai
a farmer have accurate records OF
his sales and purchases, for mosA
men will have these things well
enough in mind to be able to give III
a short time a record of their farm
business sufficiently accurate for al
practical purposes. If accounts O
the farm receipts and expenses arc
kept, however, 1t will greatly assis
the men taking the records IL thev
are made. available.
These records will be worked N
and summarized by the men who
take them. A copy Of the summar,
of each record will be returned to tn
man who gave it, if he so desires, &C
cOmpanied by letter explaining how
the farm business was figured and
presenting some facts learned from
the study OF the different types o
farming carried on in this locality.
All of the information secured will
be treated as strictly confidential
No one but the men doing the worl
will see the records. There are n
charges of any kind and this wor
has no relation whatsoever with tar
es. Similar work will be done at tn
same time in Orleans and Windso
counties and was done last summe
in Orange county.

Gov. Allen NJ Fletcher made
Jerry Bradley, who has served rs
years of a life sentence at Windsor
for murder a Christmas pres
ent in the form Of a parole or con
ditional pardon Mr.. Bradley is SO
years old and may be able to take
up the thread of free life and be-
come a self-supporting and honorable
citizen but we fear the chances are
against him. If he fails the gov
ernor has not benefited the state
or Mr.. Bradley either. He had for
feited his right to freedom by COM
hitting murder during a drunken
melee and the chances that he will
be of any benefit to society at this
late day are so small that the wis
dom of the act will be questioned.
The greatest preventative of crime
is the certainty of punishment and
if the state is to be best served the
certainty that a life sentence means
for life should be as great as a SEN
tence to be executed. That there is
little certainty that the sentence of
law will be carried out in Vermont
is evidenced by the pardon by Gov.
Fletcher of Goldie Sun Bianchi of
Barre, sentenced last fall to three
years Imprisonment for keeping a
house of i'll repute.

The vote taken in the House of
Representatives on the question of
amending the national constitution
prohibiting traffic in intoxicating
beverages is generally satisfactory.
1t pleases the temperance people be-
cause it showed that a majority of
the members of the house are in
favor of prohibition. 1t pleases
those who believe it unwise for the
states to surrender the power to po-
lice their own people because it has
not sacrificed state rights in any way.
1t showed the extent to which the
prohibition sentiment has grown in
the country as a whole and if it
keeps on there will soon be prac-
tically nationwide prohibition
through the action of the states
themselves.

CONDEMNS FREE ADVERTISING
Col. Henry Watterson Says IL Is
Time For the Press to Rebel.


Col. Henry Watterson Says IL Is
Time For the Press to Rebel.
Whatever Colonel Henry Waiter
son, publisher of the Louisville
(Ky.) Courier-Journal, says is of
interest to the American people in
general. When he speaks Of mat
ters that concern the newspaper
publishers he appeals to a body OF
men who regard him as one of their
own and who eagerly listen to his
words.
Colonel Watterson does not like
the press agent, another sentiment
that binds him closely to the news
paper fraternity, and he says so in
a recent issue of the Courier-Journal.
He spoke to his readers as follows:
A Spanish grandee once observed
that all royal and noble Spaniards
agreed that the public was an ass
and should be ridden. The only
point upon which disagreement was
possible was who should occupy the
saddle.
All special interests agree that the
press of our country is an ass, but
there is no disagreement about who
shall ride it. The various interests
are in hearty agreement that every
one who has need of free advertis-
ing, or publicity" as it is called,
shall make free and unlimited use
of the news columns. 1t is due to
the folly of the press that the bur-
den of free advertising has been
long and patiently borne. 1t is
time, surely, to rebel. The inter
est of the newspaper as a business
enterprise, the conscience of the
press as a gatherer and distributor
of news, the reasonable demand of
the reader that advertising shall bear
label, are influences which should
combine to put an end to the riding
of the ass by everybody and any
body who wants publicity"
Even the riders are beginning,
many of them, to grasp the fact that
they have made inordinate demands
upon good nature. In a recent
speech e. A. Moree, representing the
State Charities Aid Association of
New York, at the charities confer
ences in Philadelphia, stated that at
tempts to fitch valuable space from
newspapers should be abandoned
even by organizations fighting tuber-
culosis.
"Buy Your Space"
Mr.. Moree is quoted as follows:
eve do not ask the stationer to
contribute the paper we use. We do
not ask the owners of the building
we occupy to contribute our quar-
tiers. But we do ask the newspapers
to do the equivalent by giving us
space, which is like money to them.
buy space. Advertise your work
as business houses, do, and you will
get the best publicity in the world,
and you will ease a little of the re-
sentiment that the newspapers are
beginning to feel for you. If you
do anything worth picayune the
newspapers will print it as news and
without your solicitation"
Advertising that is frankly adver-
Using which parades as news not
only lessons the respect of the pub
lie for newspapers as vehicles of in
formation, but also breeds contempt
in the mind of the reader who might,
if properly approached, become in
terested in the enterprise, the COM
modify, the article, the individual

HARVEST HOME.
FESTIVAL AT BOWEN

FESllV AL BOWEN
Last Sunday the people of the
Bowen community assembled at
the Bowen church and. in accord
ance with their annual custom, eel
ebrated harvest time with relig-
lous festival. In the forward end
or the church display of the
"hrst fruits of their increase" was
displayed in selected samples
of the best products of agriculture
fruits and flowers grown this year.
This display, while made purely in
the spirit of thankfuIness, gave an
excellent idea of the productive
ness of the Bowen section. Among
those who brought samples of
fruit, grains, vegetables and flow.
ers were the following: Mrs. G. e.
Wolfe, E. R, Knapp, G.. w. Maxey,
DIR, W. j. Baker, Harry Assay,
Frank Gotf, Mrs, Jas Bond, G. p.
Golf, Mrs. L, B, Chapman, Mrs. J.
w. Mcconnell, Frank Berryman.
Mrs. j j. Spencer, W. H. Barley
and Lyle Barber.
In the forenoon was given pro-
gram of recitations and songs and
children's exercises which was
much enjoyed,
AT the noon hour a picnic din
ner, which may better be described
as a great feast, was spread under
canvas shade, and the quantity and
variety of good things to eat were
tribute to the culinary skill of
the Bowen housewives.
The services in the afternoon
were opened by prayer which re-
turned thanks for an abundant
harvest and which gave praise for
the great and godly man at the
head of our nation who has sue
ceeded in keeping us from the
maelstrom of war. An eloquent
address was given by Rev. Reeor,
pastor of the Bowen church. and
attentively listened to by the large
congregation. Then followed the
question box" in which ques-
tions of vital interest were asked
and discussed in general. This
brought out the fact that the men
and women of Bowen are all preach
ers of good, who believe in taking
IAN invoice" of themselves occa-
sionally to the end of leading
Christian lives. A male quartet
from Monte Vista assisted with
the musical part of the program
and their songs were received with
most hearty appreciation.
Assuredly the Bowen community
is a favored one, both in its agri.
cultural possibilities and in the
splendid class of people who reside
there.

Mine Workers and the leading
coal companies of the state appeal
ing to them to adopt tentative
