Vermont Crops.

90, or six points lower than in 1911
and pastures are 81 in condition,
against 81 last year. Apples are set

In prices to producers there is de

HEAR BOTH SIDES.

The Springfield Union has this to say
regarding the question of equal suffrage,
to be up for decision in Massachusetts, at
The fall elections: Voting is more than
a privilege; it is an obligation. 1t imposes
duties and responsibilities upon those vest
ed with the ballot When, therefore,
there is such division among the women
Of Massachusetts on the question of equal
suffrage, and when a considerable number,
whether a majority or less than major
ity, are opposed to having this obligation
forced upon them, they are entitled to a
respectful hearing. The male voters will
decide the question, but in order to do it
intelligently they must hear the argu-
ments on both sides The claims of the
anti-suffragists are entitled to as much
consideration as those of the suffragists. ?

that the trial judge entertained
doubt as to his guilt and that the records
in the case justified Communication of sen
tence The public is not convinced that
Frank is guilty; nor does it assert his in
nocence. 1t does believe, in overwhelming
numbers, if we may judge from express
sions of opinions, that he did not have a
fair trial Not Frank, but the courts and
the power of society to administer justice
without tragic blunder, are on trial now.
The decision is up to the governor, and it
is not on sentimental grounds, as in the
case of Mary Rogers, a depraved creature
whose guilt was unquestioned. Great
pressure was brought to bear on Gov. Bell
of Vermont to save Mary Rogers from the
gaIlows on the plea that she was woman.
The questions for the governor of Georgia
to decide are whether the condemned man
had a fair trail and whether a reasonable
doubt of his guilt exists.

The MeddLer
IF the coat fits you, put Il on"

A Windham county man who is well
known for the soundness of his iudg-
ment, among other things, deplores the
short sightedness of numerous timber
owners in selling off their sugar maple
trees, which is being done extensively
in this. county. He prepared some fig
ures which The Meddler has the priv
ilege of using, and they show the fol-
ly of yielding to the lure of the OPP
portunity to turn the trees into quick
money rather than to derive a steady
income from them. This man, who
has had experience in both numbering
and sugar making, says that 81 a
thousand feet is considered a fair
price for standing maple timber, which
on the average would comprise five
trees. An average tree will yield two
and one-half pounds of sugar, or II IL
pounds for the five trees, which can
be sold readily at y IL cents a
pound, making $1,56 for the yield of
five trees. He figures that one-half
should be deducted for labor, etc,
(which would make the profit rs cents.
| At that rate the five trees would yield
I$4, the price of the standing timber
in maple sugar profits in little over
five years, in other words they would
pay for themselves in that time and

left to repeat the process. The les

yield profit of 16 cents a year. Foul

will yield profit of rs cents a year

The Massachusetts, legislators Who
thought they were wise in fixing stand
ard price of IA cents for gasoline find that
they invented bareback which is hitting
the consumer Middle West gasoline
prices are now 81 cents gallon for all
who buy 100 gallons at time. In Penn
sylvania and New Jersey the rate is 101a
cents for less than 100 gallons and 91a
cents for more than 100 gallons. The law
was put through in Massachusetts, by re-
formers who thought they would teach the
wicked Standard Oil corporation lesson.
The automobile owners are paying for the
lesson and the wicked corporation and
the gasoline sellers generally are pocketing
increased profits. Here is another case of
having too much law.
