MORE CANDID OPINION ABOUT
G. W. GATES.

The st. Johnsbury Republican is an.
other Vermont newspaper that thinks
the proper time has come for the Re
publicans of Vermont to call Charles w
Gates for the goveinorship. This is the
way the situation appears to the St
Johnsbury contemporary:
with Howe, Fleetwood and Clement
in the field for the governorship, it still
needs another candidate to complete the
quartet to insure harmonious music for
the coming campaign.
"The man for the place is Charles w.
Gates of Franklin.
"He is not candidate for the nomina-
ton, in the commonly accepted sense,
but we know he would not refuse il If it
comes to him.
"Wby not name the strongest man in
the party at this time and the one who
would put the Republicans of Vermont
in line for an old-time majority victory
and place the states affairs on the good
road to success?
MIR. Gates is the man TO do this
Why should the Republicans compro-
mise or do half their duty when called
upon to do their full dutyf
"This is the time TO name Gates for
governor"
That Charles w. Gates will be an i'm
portant factor the coming fall is an opn-
ion also held by the Randolph Herald
and News, which says:
"The man who. many think. would
poll more votes as the Republican can
didate for governor than anyone else has
not vet made an announcement. His
name is Gates, c. W. Of Franklin. The
Barre Times says he would accept if
but on account Of his present
task as state highway commissioner he
will make no contest for the honor. II
looks now as if the convention soon to
be held will be composed largely of un-
delegates With three active
situation may easily devel-
op where the nomination will go to Mr.
Gates"
Mr. Gates straight-forw position in
which he refuses to enter actively into
a contest because OF his dislike to be
accused of using his Office as an aid in
the candidacy strikes the average voter
as very sensible; but the voters appre-
ciate that such position on his part
does not prevent them from making him
the Republican party candidate. Mr.. /
Gates has no political machine" let il
be stated. albeit he has made many
,taunch friends in his work on the high. /

1t is the time for the pro-German
partisans to engage in Boosting, if they
are disposed to indulge in that risky
sort of business, for the kaiser's army is
most certainly making progress along
the line OF campaign which was mapped
out for it. However, it must be borne
in mind that the chief opposition to
the kaiser in Belgium thus far has been
offered by the Belgians alone on the
front line, the allies, Great Britain and
France, being on the French border eth
er harrassng another flank Of the Ger

When the kaiser's men come up with
the three combined forces, their prog

DENIES THEORY OF LoMBRos0
Equally High Authority Asserts That
There Is No Distinct Type
of Criminal.

DR.. Charles Goring is the latest
criminologist to combat the theories
Of Lombroso and to assert that there
Is no such thing as criminal type.
Dr. Goring admits that there are some
persons who are naturally criminals.
but he denies that their criminality
shows itself by physical stigmata.
Seeing that criminality is purely ar.
tificial distinction, it is hard to under
stand why nature should aid in the
classification. Our social system has
seen fit to select small number OF
the almost innumerable ways of be-
ing wicked and to label them as Grim.
inaL The o&her ways are not labeled
as criminal, although they may actual.
ly involve much greater moral tur.
pitude. 1t is not the function of So
ciety to prevent people from being
wicked, but only to prevent them from
being wicked in such ways as are
particularly perjudicial to the rest of
the community There was a time
when it was criminal to read the Bible.
It is still criminal to do some things
of which the moral sense may highly
approve. We can hardly expect ma.
ture to give her sanction to our artt
fetal distinctions.

GENERAL CAMPAIGN
ON HOG CHOLERA
State and Federal Governments
Must Have Hearty Co-0pera-
ton of All Farmers.

Hog cholera has existed in the Unit
ed States for rs years, and it is safe
to say that in each of the last 25 years
the farmers of this country have lost
millions of hogs from this disease
The United States department of
agriculture believes that success in
any attempt to eradicate hog cholera
will depend upon the establishment of
efficient organizations by the state
and federal governments which will
work together. They must, however,
have the full cooperation and support
Of the farmers. With the organiza-
tions perfected the idea Is that when
hog cholera breaks out on the farm
1t will be the duty of those organiza-
tions then and there to restrict the
disease to the one farm where 1t al
ready exists by instituting suitable
measures of quarantine and also by
the administration of the protective
serum to the droves on adjoining
farms. AS is already known. the de-
partment is now testing out in few
sections this method OF combating hog
cholera. In the meantime, while the
necessary information preliminary to
a general campaign against hog chol-
era is being secured. farmers may do
much to protect themselves and help
to restrict the disease by careful OBJ
servance of a few simple rules, such
as the following:
~ Do not locate hog lots near
public highway, a railroad or a
stream. The germ of hog cholera may
be carried along any one of these
avenues.
~ Do not allow strangers or neigh
bors to enter your hog lots and do
not go into your neighbors' lots The
germ of hog cholera may be readily
carried In small amount of dirt on
your shoes.
(3) Do not put new stock, either
hogs or cattle, in lots with the herd
already on the farm. Newly pur-
chased hogs should be put in separate
Enclosures well separated from the
herd on the farm, and kept under OBJ
servation for three weeks, because
practically all stock cars, unloading
Autes and pens are infected with hog
cholera and hogs shipped by rail are
therefore, apt to contract hog cholera.
az Hogs sent to fairs should be
uuarantined for at least three weeks
after they return to the farm.

to lamb by herself. While she can get
up and down do not help her in any
way; directly she has done trying, and
cannot get up, then help her over her
trouble by getting the lamb away
gently.
Sometimes the lamb comes the
wrong way, others with leg back,
and in a case of this kind 1t Is some
times impossible for the mother to
lamb without help.
The trouble of heaving is often
brought about through the shepherd
being in too much of hurry. Directly
all is over get the mother on her legs,
and put the lamb up to her to clean.
The mother being all right and the
lamb trying to suck, the next thing to
do is to examine her udder and see
that both nipples are free from any OBJ
struction.
Sometimes a eve is found to have a
chill in the udder, which must be well
rubbed with good udder mixture of
camphorated oil, and If well attended
to, she will soon get all right. Many a
eve loses a quarter in this way
through neglect.
Any loose wool around the udder
should be gently pulled off, as there is
danger of lambs getting some in their
stomachs, which would perhaps end in
-stoppage. A very good plan whilesthe
eve is in the pen with her lamb is to
examine her feet and in the case of
lamb eve, the hoof to be pared back
and dressing applied If necessary.
The eve and lamb cannot be kept
too dry while in the pen. See that
they get a good dry bed, and that the
eve is supplied with water and good
sweet hay, with dish Of oats.
Bran and sprinkling of cotton and
linseed cake twice day, with a few
swedes and green tops II mangels are
used feed very sparingly, but there is
nothing so good as good sound
swedes.
The quicker the lambs and ewes are
got out of the pens the better Lambs
are likely to get crooked legs and bad
feet if kept in too long. A strong lamb
can be safely turned out with the moth
er after the first day, weather permit
ting. On no account should the sheep
dog be allowed to eat any of the car
casses at the yards; all dead lambs
and ewes should be buried right away,
and all placentas buried or burned.

Robert Burns.

Robert Burns belongs in the very
front rank of the worlds great men.
AS a song writer he stands along
with Goethe. Heine and Beranger, and
as satirist he ranks well up with
Juvenal and Pascal. His "Coter's Sat
urday Night" his "Tam o. Shanter"
and his Holy Fair" are simply inimi-
table. as great, in their line, as the
most consummate masterpieces of the
worlds greatest writer's. Burns was
original in the best sense of that
word, and his songs. satires, epistles
and many of his more serious produc-
tions stand forth unique. and fresh.
and powerful as the tints of Titan
or the chiseling of Phidias
