WHAT is THE ANSWER?-
COME TO BENNINGTON co

The writer was asked this question
the other day, "Are you the man who
wrote about French Canadians taking
up Vermont farms? ?" The answer
was in the affirmative. well" the
other party to the conversation went
on to say, you may soon have the
opportunity to schedule another SALE"
and then he pointed out that the own
ers of Franklin county farm, and he
was one of them, were contemplating
selling out because the farms in their
neighborhood were pretty much taken
up by French Canadians so that the
old atmosphere and companionship
was gone; there were no Yankee
neighbors. The spokesman said that
the Freneh-Canadians paid good
prices for the farms, all that they
wer worth and sometimes a little
more. Therefore the property could
be disposed of at no loss, at least, and
possibly to advantage. The writer re-
members visiting this farm in COM
pany with the commissioner of agri-
culture and Professor harrington of
Wisconsin, when the professor was in
the state as an investigator for the
Carnegie Foundation, then making a
survey of Vermont conditions as a
part of the educational review Of the
state. Professor Harrington was
much impressed by it as being fine
dairy farm. Now if this place is sold,
it so happens that the farmers and the
stock will not be lost to Vermont. The
plan is to take the stock and put it
on farm that is to be purchased in
some southern county Brethren of
the state press, what is the answer ?

know how TO use his new powers.
Mr.. Washington saw that the next
appeal would have TO be made TO the
negro himself II the full fruits Of
emancipation were 10 be realized. He
has been the foremost negro mission
airy. not 70 the white race, but TO his
own race. He has preached self-help,
self discipline, self-salvation. II has
been evident ever since Reconstruction
days that the negro must work cut his
own status as freedman, and that
just in proportion as he shows him
self Industrious, capable, thrifty and
self-controlled his position in the COM
munity in which he lives will be inn
proved.
By his example as well as by his
teaching Mr.. Washington set the me-
gro race in this country on the true
path toward betterment. His ideals
were intensely practical. His gospel
was the gospel Of self-respect, which
is the foundation of all moral growth.
He respected himself and won the re-
spect of the country by his courage,
his sincerity, his patience and the adj
mirab'e singleness of his point of
view.
He accomplished much and, better
still, his work will live after him
through what he has inspired others
Of his race to accomplish. He was
builder not for to-day only, but for the
future-a leader of breadth and tenac-
ity whose work has contributed not
alone to the welfare of his people but
also to the welfare and progress of
the United States.-New York Tri-

A WAR REMINDER

Speaking of taxation, the people OF
this country had burden growing out
of the Civil War of which the present
generation has little realization. The
aggregate amount expended by the
state for bounties, aid to the families
Of soldiers, for raising troops and or
ganizing companies and regiments,
for military commissions, for defense
of the frontier and other things was
So, 600,7 1882. The amount paid by
the several towns of the state for ex
penses incurred by them in support of
the war, as certified by the selectmen
of the several towns, was S5,210, 897,-
as, making the total expense $S,S11,-
64997, and a dollar in those days
meant much more than at the present
time. This sum does not include the
voluntary contributions to the sani-
tary and Christian commissions,
Freedmen's aid societies, hospitals, or
to the sick and wounded soldiers. The
Windham county towns made certifi-
cation through their selectmen of a
total payment of 1924 ,327.42, divided
as follows: Athens, $S,231.64, Brattle-
boro $54, S4S.00, Brookline $2,966.50,
Dover $21 ,062.21, Dummerston $780,

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON

Booker t. Washington, who died
yesterday, will pass into history as
the ablest negro leader Of his genera
ton. Here in the United States the
negro race has produced greater men
than he--men Of larger mould and
more extraordinary native genius.
Frederick Douglass was one. Born
and brought up slave, the latter
overcame even greater obstacles than
Mr.. Washington had to overcome in
arising to leadership. Douglass excel
led as an orator. His appeal was TO
the emotions, to the sense of justice
Of a ruling race which had put
shackles on the black man and had de-
MED him the ordinary rights Of a
human being. He pleaded for emanci-
patton, believing that the negro's fu-
ture here would be assured once he
had the chance 10 be his own master,
10 acquire education and property and
TO sell his labor in an open market.
Mr.. Washington's task was differ
ent, because conditions made il differ
ent. The negro had become a citizen
and had received a partial measure Of
economic freedom. But he was dazed
and not little embarrassed by what
had been thrust upon him. He did no.

THE OUTLAW OF
THE BEVERAGE

The Rutland Herald, in its supreme
satisfaction that statewide prohibi-
ton was defeated in Ohio, gleefully
shouts, "No Perryism in Ohio" Well
not this year, TO be sure, but the ma
jority against prohibition in the Buck
eye state was only half as large this
year as it was last, and one more gain
like this would give the people Of that
state good brand Of "Perryism," as
the Herald is pleased to term the
state wide outlawing of the beverage
liquor trafiic.-Springfeld Reporter.
The excellent and reverand gentle
man who is devoting much admirable
energy to the editorial page Of the
Reporter should cultivate accuracy.
He is not addressing a couple of hun
dred people from pulpit. He cannot
safely lump one part Of the world into
the sheep-fold and the remainder into
the goat-corral. His editorial remarks
will reach several thousand people
weekly, and, when re-published, thou
sands more.
The foregoing should have been cut
off at the word 'Perryism" in the
tenth line. Up to that point it was
accurate. After that it was mislead-
ing. This might not matter in mere
sermonizing, because the sermonized
do not talk back, but The Herald rises
TO object.
"The statewide outlawinp Of the
beverage liquor traffic" does not de-
scribe Perryism. If the Perry pro-
hibitory law merely proposed that the
use of alcoholic liquor as a beverage
should be forbidden, The Herald and
the Reporter might very speedily
reach common ground, but it does
much more.
Perryism forbids the purchase Of
liquor as a medicine.
Perryism tries to outlaw the use OF
alcohol in the liberal arts;
w PiI'tbk
purchase of alcohol for external use,
as dilutent, antiseptic or for use in
nursing;
Perryism would forbid the purchase
Of alcohol for use in scientific expert
ments;
Perryism invades personal and con-
stitutional rights, yet would permit
the sale of hard cider by the barrel.
SO, on the positive as well as the
negative side Of the argument, Perry
ism is notvhe "outlawing Of the bey-
erage liquor traffic" but actually per-
mits the sale Of intoxicating cider as
a beverage and forbids the use Of
other liquors for any purpose whatso-
ever
As part Of the Reporters editorial
audience, The Herald must demand a
more accurate description Of Perry
m.-Rutland Herald.

Commenting on our large export
balance for September, due to war
orders, the New York Journal of Com
merce observes that principal means
of paying off is through the sale of
American securities now held abroad,
The Journal then calls attention to the
fact that There is no record Of that
or means Of estimating it with accur-
acy. That it has fallen far short of
providing the means Of payment for
our exports is proved by the exchange
situation and the necessity of estab-
fishing foreign credits to be drawn
upon over here, which is equivalent to
borrowing money in the United States,
the money to be paid back with inter-
est when normal times return. Sooner
or later those payments will be made
in merchandise form, which means
that our imports must greatly in
crease while our exports will un-
doubtedly diminish. Then will come
a period very different from that
through which We are now passing
and some views of foreign wars and
domestic prosperity will have to I'M
dergo revision" Which means that
the Underwood free trade measure
will have TO be supplanted by Re-
publican protective tariff law, il We
are to be commercially prepared to
meet the situation.
