Free Election Impossible.

The demand Of the President in his
message TO Huerta that there should
be an armistice, could not have been
complied with. the senator continued
and the demand that security be given
for a free election in Mexico was i'm
possible Of fulfillment because Of the
ignorance of the Mexican masses.
Such an election he declared probably
would have brought about the - elec
tion of a bull fighter for president.

With the approach of spring active
measures are being renewed for the
suppression of the browntail moths and
the San Jose scale IL this town and
throughout the county. Harold L.
Bailey Of Bradford, who is in charge
Of the department Of insect suppress
sion i'll he Vermont department OF ag-.
riculture is here in the interest of the
work, and he will visit some of the
surrounding towns and will return to
Bradford tomorrow.
This Section Badly Infested.
Mr.. Bailey says this corner of the
state is more extensively infested with
insect pests than any other part of
Vermont. The first tier of towns on
the Connecticut river from the Mas
sachusetts line to Wells River, dis
tance Of 100 miles, has become infest
ed with browntails, and in the second
tier of towns they have become estab-
Iishcd ~ Il certain extent. The in
tested area embraces about 1855
square miles 1t is probable that this
area viii be reduced, as a result of
the thorough work done in the spring
Of 1918.
In addition TO the browntails, which
are found iii large numbers in Guilford,
there are several towns in this county
where the San Jose scale is well in
tgcnched notably Brattleboro and
Westminster, with some in Putney and
Bellows Falls. This scale is not found
Ia Vermont IN large numbers outside Of
Wirriham county. although il has APP
peared in few towns. Mr.. Bailey is
experimenting with a parasite for the
scale.
Then there i found in Windham
county large numbers of tent cater
pillars. for the suppression of which

For the suppression OF these pests
! $4,000 was available for the two years
I beginning last year. including the sal

appropriation it is not possible to ex-
( terminate the insects, all that can be
hoped for being their suppression.

The browutail moth can be controlled
hv cutting off its winter webs and
burning them before the caterpillars
begin to emerge in April These webs
should be destroyed by fire, for if they
are simply cut from the tree and left
on the ground the caterpillars will
emerge and no benefit Will result from
/ the work which has been done.
Brattleboro owns a sprayer, bought
for the purpose of suppressing insects,
\ and Mr.. Bailey recommends that per
sons whose trees are infested, especially
with the San Jose scale write the local
tree warden, George Bishop. and en-
gage him to spray them as soon as
convenient. The solution used in
I spraying works an injury to the trees
after the buds appear, so the work
should be done within a short time.

more thorough canvass of of the sit

A Swelling Tide.

Every newspaper contains somewhere IN its
columns statements showing progress of the
temperance cause, and every of these state
ments Is a sign OF the revolution that is taking
place. The forward march Of temperance has
a momentum that seems irresistible, and every
movement made by 1t necessarily finds record
In the daily press. The news side of the anti
saloon fight Is the pulse that indicates the health
or debility of the cause. and II We Judge by what
has been forthcoming recently. the prohibition
principle lis the livest and most active PROPOSE
ton on record. II is spreading in all directions
and is gaining supporters constantly. and
every time II takes forward step 1t erects its
advance posts nearer the enemy's last entrench-
ments. 1t is exceedingly rare that Of these
advance posts gives way. If such a thing does
occur, 1t seems only to strengthen the attack.
to make the onslaught more vigorous and an
ultimate victory assured.
Yesterday the newspapers OF the country con-
tanned long dispatches from Washington. say
ing that Secretary of the Navy Daniels had
issued order removing every trace of intoxi-
eating liquor from the navy department. Here
after. under the secretarys order. alcohol as a.
beverage Will have place in American
whrshp and bluejackets and their officers. when
they sail at sea. will have opportunity or
temptation 10 swallow alcoholic beverages
Some officers Of the navy. Il appears are IN
clined tn grumbe. They show an inclination
to criticise the secretarys action and to dis
cover in 1t measure that invades certain priy-
leges and rights which have belonged to them
from ancient days There is also from certain
quarters, faint limitations that Mr. Daniels has
acted without consulting the president and that
there is possibility of the president modifying
or revoling MS decree
But the order, having been issued and having
gone into effect, Is more temperance out
post one more condition that advances the anti
,Sal loon campaign nearer to the goal of complete
success Sentiment of this nation for wears has
been solfdifyng In support of the fight against
the liquor traffic and the strength OF that SEN
tment today Is SO vast and aggressive that
any movement forward, however slight or how
ever large. is like the movement of fate-un-
changeable and uncomfortable.
Cries of distress, the ridicule of dstemper
and vicious filings n moral forces are heard
throughout the land. some of them from writers
some from Legislators and some from choice
interests, and all of them proclaim the old old
song. Prohibition will not prohibit: the curse
of alcohol, Righteousness. and depravity Is an
eternal human institution, SO long as men live
they will drink and stumble and fall"
And yet the great army of temperance grows
and the forces of It's fighters turned to the
rising day. and hope and confidence glow in their
faces. The notes of their trumphs sound in
rapid succession. and the beauty and grandeur
of them compared with the billings and bick-
erings and hypocrisies of saloon adherents are
as the music of Niagara compared with the drip

LOST OPPORTUNITY.

The Tappahannock Dantocrat tells good story
on one Of its country boys-a story with more In
1t than probably the writer or the casual reader
got out Of It. Here 1t is:
An enterprsing young farmer Of this neigh
horhood determined to clip" Of his mules
upon which the hair had grown to an unbecom-
ing length. Anticipating difficulty in the
undertaking. nc started at the head. but the
eoung man succeeded in getting only half way
when the activity Of the animals legs dis
rouraged further progress IN this direction. and
al this writing tho Job has not been finished.
The incident is well put. and we'll worth con-
sidering. Two things were lacking in the en-
terprising young farmer-rersp.cacity and stick
at-iveness. He failed 10 grasp the situation by
neg1ecting TO grasp FIRST the mule's tail or his
hind-quarters and he failed to pursue his OPP.
portunity--or occupa1ton--to finish. True re-
suits might have added another angel to the
Ia all that Is required Of angels. Doubtless he
would have aacended In clipper style.
