THREE ANNOUNCEMENTS
From the Rutland Herald)


We give much space In this issue to the
formal announcements of Mr.. Clement
and Mr. Howe, candidates for the repub-
lican nomination for governor. and Jf
Alexander Dunnett. who seeks to succeed
Congressman Plumley as a republican.
We have published all the announce
ments OF candidates for these offices
previously made. so that readers should
oe able to Judge of their respective merits
on the basis of their own pl las.
Mr.. Clement makes a square appeal to
republicans. He mentions several re-
forms in government that he believes
would mean more efficiency and be at
tended with lessened cost. He dwells
strongly on the republican record as an
upbuiding force in the nation He nails
his standard to the mast as an uncom-
promising partisan Of the Mckinley
period He makes no terms with demo-
Gratis or bull moose, regarding both as
destructive elements. You can at least
tell where Mr. Clement is. He stands
for the old order of things, with such
administra tive reforms and economies as
good business Judgment would suggest
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Howe has quite
an elaborate program. most of which will
denotes, 1t is directly in line with Mr..
Howe's record and Is not assumed to
catch votes. Except as to his proposition
to abolish the State Senate and have A
one-chamber Legislature, which Is foreign
to this canvass as 1t cannot possibly be
acted upon until 1890. the suggestions
are all sensible and practical. Some Of
them show vision quite beyond that of
ordinary aspirants for office, yet worthy
of serious consideration. Mr. Howe, like
Mr., Fleetwood. represents the progress
sive or liberal element in the Republican
party, whereas Mr. Clement is distinctly
conservative, The latter could not hope
to draw back any considerable number
Of the dlsa ffected voters who left two
years ago. while either Mr. Howe or Mr..
Fleetwood would be acceptable to MANY
who would Hike to return to the old moor
ings If they could be convinced that the
party was not controlled by the reaction
aries.
Mr. Dunnetts announcement OF his
congressional ambition is UNIQUE. like
unto himself He says he is not a stand
patter. then proceeds to prove that he "a

form OF "A protective tariff He scores
Taft for his moderate tarifr Views, though
the great mistake Taft made was I'm not

WHITE PINE WEEvIL DOING DAM
AGE.

The white pine weevil is doing much
damage in the State. During a recent
trip through one Of the best white pine
sections of the State, one Of the foresters
I'm the state department found some in
pine, and some stands were badly in
fected Very few plantations have been
infected as yet. because the most Of
them are too young.
Whenever there are young stands OF
pine, either planted or natural growth,
from five to twenty years old, it is I'M
portant that this pest be controlled as
the grade OF lumber produced, where he
has worked, is very inferior.
The dead or dying leaders should be
collected at once and put In a can cover
mesh as the ordinary window fly netting,
This is done because these leaders con-
tain not only the weevil but a parasite
which kills the weevil. This parasite IL
small enough SO that It can escape
through this sized mesh while the weevil
is held captive. Great care should be
taken that the can Is absolutely tight,
except where covered with the screen,
that both cen and screen are OF ma
terial which will not rust or otherwise
be opened ~ the weather. and that the
can IL either locked or so constructed
that the curious boy cannot open It,
If these measures are to be effective
on this years crops. they should be
taken at once. for some OF the beetles
are already leaving the pine.

WHAT OUR EE|GHb0RS SAY
How TO Solve the Attorney General
probIem--Competent states
Attorneys.
(From the Rutland Herald)

(From the Rutland Herald)
While state opinion is Visibly di-
vided on the propriety of abolishing
the office of attorney general. The
Herald has no manner of doubt that
in a state with as compact and eff
cient n town and county organization
as Vermont an attorney general is
unnecessary.
Take Rutland and Addison counties,
for instance. The incumbent States
attorneys are men just as competent
as Mr. Brown, and much more in touch
with local conditions. the present at
torney- general, and yet the existing
system makes them nero clerks for
the attorney general at least tacitly
bornd to take orders from him and to
put In effect no serious official deed
without his sanction.
with such competent men--and they
can be secured much cheaper than an
with all the expen-
sive folderol that goes with the office
to dav-there would be no need for
an attorney general for any purpose
comprehended within the needs of the
county. The States attorneys would
do the work better without him.
AS to acting as counsel for the gov
ernor, the occasions which call for
special opinions and advice are rare,
and the supreme court Is required by
statute to act in such an advisory
capacity. In other cases, special coun-
sci might be retained.
Whether the office is abolished by
the Legislature or not-and The Her
10
limiting action Is certain to be taken
for an interlocking responsibility for
the expenditures for detective service,
which have been piled UP beyond all
reason under the Brown regime.
Some responsible State officer. prob
ably the Governor, will be given charge
of a strictly limited fund for pursuing
criminals. with "A small emergency
fund which he might convert in cases
of extreme urgency or haste but it is
quite certain that the situation of an
attorney general, drawing on the fund
for the administration of justice with
out constitutional or statutory limita-
ton, will never exist again.
Students of state affairs should con-
slider this problem with great care as
the pursuit and apprehension of Grim
mails like those guilty of the Ward
and Toby murders is sufficiently i'm
portant not to be decided offhand.
The proposition would then arrange
itself logically into something like
this form:
l. First elect competent States at
torneys and pay them enough to COM
mand their major time.

FOR GOOD ROADS.
(From the Montpelier JournalD


State highway officials from fully three
fourths of the States which have State
highway departments will meet to discuss
questions OF mutual interest at the fourth
| American road congress. to be held In
Alta nta, Ga, during the week Of Novem-
Der 8.
Among the most important subjects to
be discussed will be systematic road
management, involving the organization
Of working forces and the methods Of re-
porting and recording work.
That too much attention cannot be
given to the subject of road construction
is fact that is being generally recog-
nized, and any new methods that can be
brought forward and explained are of in
calculable value. 1t is understood that at
the congress prominent men will deal
with the various phases OF construction
and maintenance of all types OF roads, in
Guiding concrete brick, macadam, gravel.
sand-clay and plain earth roads, as well
as the use of the various asphalts, tar
and asphaltic oils and other special dust
representatives. and road binders. A new
form of construction which is now at
tracing considerable attention among
engineers, known as the sand-oil method.
by which roads are constructed through
the mixing of asphaltic oil and sand, will
be quite generally discussed This type Of
road is in successful use in the Cape Cod
region Of Massachusetts and in the vicin-
ity of Palm Beach. Fla, The mainten-
ance question has been growing in i'm
portance with the more general use, of
the automobile from year to year and will

published a statement last week which is
more remarka BILE for what it doesn't say

bies, the tariff and military schools. He
thinks that the great question properly

right only to a degree The tariff used to
be about the only question one would

But times have changed and there are
now other issues. plenty Of them, that
are dividing parties. II the candidate

Candidate Dunnett says further: "I be-

tablshed for boys who have completed
the common school studies in which agri

STATE BUYS LARGE FOREST
