and judging from the experience of
France a large indemnity would have
been eXacted as the price of the immense
outlay necesstated for the protection Of
its borders from Mexican aggression and
the guarding OF life and property of its
people sOjournng in Mexico.
In marked contrast to all this has been
the course pursued by the government Of
the United States in dealing with Mex
leo. Despite the fact that our diplomatic
representatives. have been thrown into
prison, our citizens either murdered or
made the victims of unspeakable out

lures, and the property of Americans

extent of millions of dollars, our people

Indeed the only aggressive move under
taken by the administration was the
Selling of the port of Ver- Cruz. and
this step was not for the purpose OF
securing reparation but to prevent the
landing of German arms destined for
Huerta, and even these supplies were ulti
mately permitted by our government to

SHEEP AND DOGS.
(From the Bennington Banner

a public conference of persons inter
ested in the sheep industry is being held
in Washington this week and one of the
leading topics placed on the program by
the secretary Of agriculture was the pre-
vention of damage to flocks by dogs and
predatory animals.
According to reports received by the
secretary the loss to sheep raisers
through destruction by predatory animals
in the west does not decrease In some of
the States in spite of the fact that all
sections of the country are becoming
more thickly populated every year. And
what seems even more strange is the fact
that the losses through dogs in the farm
ing sections of the country constitute an
even larger factor, In some instances
mounting to complete determination.
Economic changes have undoubtedly
been largely responsible for the big
shrlnkage in the sheep raising business
in Vermont. but at the same time the
dogs have had their part in dlscouraging
the owners of the flocks that at one
time dotted the pastures on the hill
farms of this State.
James c. Colgate OF old Bennington is
at the present time one of the most eX-
tensive sheep rasers in Vermont He
has made a speciality OF horned dorsets
and exhibits from his flock have been
blue ribbon winners at many of the big
fairs throughout the country during the
past few years. During the present
season the superintendent of the FIJI
more farms, Charles Brettell, has exper-
| fenced no little trouble because of the
persistency with which the worthless
collarless dogs that roam through the
country annoy sheep.
Mr.. Brettell has been the raiser OF
sheep for many years and according to
his experience the annoyance and loss
is almost always due to the depredations
of cur dogs. Well-bred dogs animals
of fixed breed, seldom chase sheep 1t
| is the mixture and crosses that cause
| most of the trouble, Like human beings.
when the races are mixed, the undesira-
, BILE qualities come to the surface In a
| half-breed dog. In many regions the
| dog has been the predominating factor
| in wiping out the sheep industry and the
conditions now existing constitute u prob

The Wilson administration has now
gone a step further and announced that
1t will ask for no money indemnity for
this nation to repay us for the tremen-
dous expense we have incurred in con-
nection with the repeated revolutions In
Mexico and the measures necessitated
for our own protection The government
can not speak, of course, for American
citizens individually, and many of these
will doubtless follow the example Of the
English, who have announced determine
ton to secure reparation for the Benton
outrage when stable government Is re-
established. American citizens will be
amply warranted in securing property
damages.
All the American government demands
as condition of the establishing Of
former relations between the two ma
tons is that constitutional government
be restored land conditions reformed and
other measures taken to ensure perma
nent peace.
If this result can be secured by the
Wilson administration without mourning
the untold horrors of war, its Mexican
policy will be indicated, and the Amer
lean people will stand before the world
as the most generous and philanthropic
and sef-sacrfcing nation on the globe

VERMONTS WANDERING FARMERS.
(From the Barre Times)


The conclusion reached by government
'-Testgators at Washington that the pros.
perity of farming in the United States is
retarded by too frequent changes of scene
of operations applies with marked force
to Vermont. The government investga-
tors found that in more than a ma jority Of
some 9.0ro000 instances the period of oc-
cupancy Of farms was less than five years
and that more than 100000 farmers had
occupied their farms less than a singla
year.
We fancy that a large proportion of tha
occupancy of Vermont farms at the pres
ent time have been carrying on the farms
less than five years, even less than three
years; and We feel sure that the produce
tivity of the farms as well as the general
upkeep of the premises. is seriously ham,
pered by the frequent changes of tenant
or owner.
The rowing spirit pervades large Sec
ton of Vermont's agricultural popula-
ton, and as soon as a single condition
arises that causes dissatisfaction with
farm In occupancy many men begin to
cast about for some other location. losing
time in the search. allowing the work on
the farm to lapse through indifference
and the land to suffer because of the in
tention to get off anyway, permitting the
buildings and fences to be damaged by
lack of attention, running into the eX-
pense of moving when once a decision to
change is reached and falling behind
while getting settled in the new quarters.
All those things contribute to the loss Of
productivity and decline of the farm prop
erty in every town in the State of YER
mont,
Uncertainty of occupancy is one of the
evil tendencies of the present time, as in
deed II was of times gone by. Instead OF
conserving to remain on a place Of COM
paratively low productivity and going to
the trouble and expense Of bringing the
land up TO a satisfactory state of richness,
people leave a run out farm to so to some
other run ont farm which the preceding
| occupant has left for the very same rea-
son; and so the procession goes round and
round, the land meanwhile losing produce
| tivity and buildings and fences going 10
ruin because of the Indifference of the I'M
settled occupant who knows not where
ne will be a year from now and so takes
little pains to keep up the farm.
, The remedy for such a condition may
largely lie, we believe, in the system OF
instructing the county agent, which is be-
ing tried out in several Of the "a counties
of the State. Such system brings the
individual farmer into close touch with
modern methods of bringing up the pro-
ductivity of farm land and when the
county agent is capable and Interested in
| the work he is able to throw out many
| suggestions to the individual farmers
| which will help UNNECESSARILY toward en-
| couraging the farmers to increase efforts
and to more settled occupancy both ot
which tendencies are greatly to he de-
sired.
That which Vermont needs mpera lively
to-day is settled tenancy on her farms.
coupled with inspirited efforts TO get the
I most out of the land, The government

BALTIMORE. July 1".-Judge Heuisler

legal because prohibited by the ordinance
known as section 3 Of article 43 of the
Baltimore city code of 1893
II this ordinance were repealed the
only law applicable to the observance of
Sunday in the city would be the state
law. which is IN force throughout Mary
land. City Solicitor Field has held that
the state law also prohibits Sunday base
ball, but there are others who hold the
contrary view and say that if the ordi-
nance were repealed there would be no
law to stop ball games in the city on
Sunday.
The decision of Judge IIeuisler was rem
dered in the case of William II. Hitler,
who. with John H. Peters, was indicted
for playing ball Sunday, June a.
Notice of an appeal TO the court of ap-
