THE COLLECTORSHIPs.

For some time the appointment of col
lectors of customs in the two Vermont
districts under the Wilson administration
has, been the subject of considerable
peculation. The candidates for the po-
iton to succeed Collector Charles H.

Burke and Deputy Collector George w.

If Rutland, Vermont member of the
democratic national committee, has also
been credited with a willingness to &C
rept the plum. For the Newport office,
IN the Memphremagog district, to sue
iced Collector c. s. Emery, F. J. Pape
of Barre and J. G. Ullery of Brattleboro
have been most prominently considered.
The latest intelligence in relation to the
collector situation is afforded by the
held Republican, who says in Saturday 3
issue:
"Vermonters are in town over the two
fat colloctorships Of customs; one at Bur-
lington and one at Newport These may
be decided next week. Mayor J. e.
Burke OF Burlington and f. j. Pape OF
Barre are regarded as the progressive
democratic candidates for these places,

POLITICS IN VERMONT.
An Seen Through the Eyes of an Out
side, Though Close Observer.

(From the Boston Transcript
There was a time. not so very many
years ago, when Vermont needed no
watching. politically speaking. She could
be depended upon TO stand without hitch
ing. Her republican maJorities would of
course vary from year to year, but they
did not approach the danger line. Lat
tcrly, however, the spirit of division and
unrest has affected even her. The man
who first led an assault upon her solid
arity was Percival Clement. who wished
to be governor and though he did not
succeed he made a breach in the ranks
which has never been wholly healed.
While her electoral vote was given to
President Taft in 1912, 1t was by the
narrow margin Of about 200 over Roose-
Welt. Doubtless many of those who de-
serted the old standard on that occa-
sion have returned to it, but there Is
still an element of disaffection that Is
causing some apprehension in view Of
the coming congressional election.
The announcement by Congressman
Pumley that he will not be candidate
for recollection will make competition
brisk in the second congressional dis

EDUCATIONAL INDEPENDENCE.

We have waited ten days or so for
ton to answer the questions he neglected
IN his communication to the FREE,
PRESS as well as that In relation to the
alleged summary" of the report in
which he charged the University Of YER
mont with negecting agriculture and
'usng it's appropriation for a medical
school" We conclude he found he was
in error and is not ready to face the
music. Vermont has always been indie
pendent. and while soma of our educa-
iional institutions might feel otherwise
we believe the people would rather sup
port their own institutions than to be put
in the position of relying upon the gift
Of any organization and accepting dicta-
ton as the price of educational aims
The whole situation is well summed up
in the following utterance by the YER
mont Medical Monthly:
THE educational world hailed the es-
tablishment of the Carnegie Foundation
a. an unmixed blessing, 1t promised to
render more endurable the lot of the
poorly paid educator to assist many
small colleges and encourage a more am
bilious class OF young men to take up

of treatment is described in detail in

protect it from other injurious insects
and diseases, and 1t is improbable that
these results can be brought about in
