DemOcra tic JOY

There is no doubt joy in the Democrat
ic camp over the announcement that the
President has changed his mind and is to
appoint M. ]. Moran postmaster at
Brattleboro. Some time ago the name
of F. w. Child was sent into the Senate
by the President, in spite OF he fact that
Mr.. Moran had been recommended by
the Dem. State Committee and in fact
was one a member of that committee
The State Committee got busy and chair
man Kennedy took up his abode in Wash
ington and with the aid OF Senator H oils
oiNew Hampshire and Senator o German
of New York, both DENIS, had the NOM
nation of Child held up and after both
sides had been heard the change is to be
made. Hence the JOY afore mentioned.

VT. Sugar Makers Should Meet
Demands of the Market

While an increasingly large part of
Vermont maple products is marketed as
syrup and caked sugar, more than one
half the crop is probably still marketed
as tub sugar. When such sugar is cooked
at lower temperature than 240 degrees
F. syrup will separate from the sugar
and fermentation will take place in warm
weather. While there may be a limited
market for small quantity of soft sugar
early in the season for immediate con-
sumption, yet the great bulk of Vermont
maple sugar should be cooked hard
enough to stand transportation to long
distances and to keep without shrinkage
for long time.
Dealers in Vermont sugar agree that
because our sugar makers are not cook
ing their sugar hard enough we are los
ing the trade of many eastern and west
ern consumers who are coming to prefer
Canadian sugar even at a higher price,
because it is always made uniformly
hard and there is consequently no loss
from sbrinkage.
Vermont sugar should always C )mmand
the highest price, because it is second to
none in quality. Our farmers should be
CAREFUL to make the new crop of sugar
particularly hard and thereby help to
get back the business that has been lost.
This is particularly vital at this time,
because after May 1, 1916, the duty will
be removed from Canadian sugar and
Vermont sugar makers must compete
with Canadian sugar on a duty free basis.
Makers of tub sugar this spring should
boil the sugar until the thermometer
registers 240 degrees.

opportunity to vote on the same at the
March meeting next year. There are va
rious opinions as to, the merits of the
bill. Many believe that we never had a

which allows each town to say what it

there are those who say that "prohibi-

Reduce the Size

The Legislatures idea of economy
seems to be ceutered in the abolition of
some Office. They would abolish the
office of Attorney General; they would
abolish the office of Commissioner of Ag-
riculture; they would abolish the office
of Factory Inspector; they would abolish
the Office of Sealer of Weights and Meas
ures; and so on down the line. We be-
lteve the honorable members are going
at the wrong end. These offices are all
useful, and worth what they cost. 1--WE
do not refer to large sums squandered
on detective service.) What would be of
greater saving, and immeasurably great
er benefit, would be to abolish part of
the Legislature. If steps were taken to
reduce the size of the House from 246 to
1913, a popular chord would be struck. A
system which gives Somerset with four
voters ali equal voice in legislative as
sembly with Burlington with nearly
1000 should be relegated to the museum
of antiquities, along with the spinning
wheel and the tallow dip. Vermont
should turn its face to the morning, and
the Legislature should make the first
move.-Vergennes Vermonter.

Portrait of Col. SAWYER

Col. Sawyer has just presented to the
State OF Vermont his portrait. The But
lington Free Press says concerning it,
Col. Edward B. Sawyer of Hyde Park
has just presented to the State an excel
lent likeness of himself, taken when he
was colonel of Vermonts celebrated
cavalry regiment. The picture, which
has a very neat gold leaf oval frame,
will be placed in the office of the adju-
tant-general in the State House. During
its entire service the First Vermont Cav
airy had seven colonies. Colonel Sawyer
served in this position from September
IS, 1862. to April 2S, 1854. which was a
longer period than all the other com
manding officers combined. When pro-
NOTED to this position Colonel Sawyer
found the companies of the regiment
widely scattered. 1t was largely through
his efforts that these companies we're
brought together and welded into the
great fighting machine that the First
Vermont cavalry was recognized as being.
Colonel Sawyer was admitted to the
bar of Lamoille county in 1S49 and is one
of tn oldest attorneys in the State. He
was delegate from Vermont to the ma
tional convention which nominated Abra-
ham Lincoln aud is one OF very small
number of those delegates now living.
The colonel is nearing his S7th birthday,
but is wonderfully well preserved. He
and Major Gen. Lewis A. Grant. the be-
loved commander of the "old Vermont
brigade" now living in Minneapolis, are
the same age.

Why the name of Wall street, New
York?
Wall street received its name from
following the line of the early city wall
on lower Manhattan Island This outer
wall of the city was once surmounted
by a stockade. Times have changed
considerably since that day when
watchful sentinels paced this wall,
guarding the little village of New Am
sterdam from the Indians and the wild
beasts.
What is the full official title of the
present king of England?

the United Kingdom of Great Britain

ions Beyond the Seas. King Defender
of the Faith, Emperor of India"
BY what kind of a title does the
United States hold the Panama canal
zone, and what does it cover?
Your question is best answered by
article 2 of the treaty between the
United States and Panama, ratified by
the United States senate Feb. %,
1904. as follows: THE republic OF
Panama grants to the United States
in perpetuity the use. occupation and
control of the zone Of land and land
under water for the construction,
maintenance, operation, sanitation and
protection of said canal of the width
Of ten miles. extending to the distance
Of five miles on each side of the center
line of the route of the canal to be
constructed; the said zone being in the
Caribbean sea- three marine miles from
low water mark and extending to and
across the isthmus of Panama into the
Pacific ocean to distance of three
marine miles from mean low water
mark. with a proviso that the cities of
Panama and Colon and the harborS
adjacent to said cities, which are In
'cluded within the boundaries of the
zone above described, shall not be in
Guided within this grant. The repub-
lie of Panama further grants to the
United States in perpetuity the use,
occupation and control of any other
lands and waters outside of the zone
above described which may be neces-
sary and convenient for the construc-
ton, maintenance and operation. sani-
tation and protection of said enter
prise. The republic of Panama further
grants to the United States in per-
petuity the USE occupation and control
of all islands within the limits of the
zone above described. and in addition
thereto the small group of islands in
the bay of Panama named Perico,
Naos, Culebra and Flamenco"

Who was ST. Anastasia?

The name has been borne by two or
three Christian women of antiquity
first, Christian martyr who was slain
during the reign of Nero. 65 A. D.:
second, one who persisted during the

What charm has the seventh son?
Does it mean a family of only seven
sons or does it make any difference it
girls are older or in between and still
there are seven sons? What chapter
and verse in the Bible can we find
where it will tell US?
Seven was sacred number among
the Jews and also among the Greeks
and Egyptians long before the Chris
tan era. The number seven is applied
to many things in the Bible. but in no.
instance is the seventh son accorded
any distinction or differentiated in any
way from other sons, second, fifth or
sixth. In the New Testament many
things occur by sevens, as seven
churches in Asia. seven spirits SYM
bolized by seven candlesticks, seven
stars, seven seals. seven walls, etc.
The frequent occurrence of the num-
Der in the Bible may have given rise
to the popular superstition which at
tributed special virtue to a seventh son
and invested the seventh son of sew
enth son with supernatural powers;
but, like many other popular superss-
lions, it had no foundation in reason
and certainly none in Scriptural au-
thority. A seventh daughter of a sew
enth daughter is of equal Importance.
