Still Hunts of No Benefit.
{ Rutland News.)

According to The Brattleboro Re
former, Capt. f. w. Gibson. after a
"stil hunt defeated the present
chairman of the village commissioners
who was a candidate for reelection.
Now, without any knowledge of the
merits of the contest, it can be put
down as a safe general rule that these
still hunts are of no benefit to anv
community but on the contrary crea-
tive of fractional difference, inharmo-
ny and community retrogression. 1t
would appear that the still hunt was
no overwhelmingly popular movement.
There were only 22S votes east at the
election and Gibson got "a more than
the incumbent of the Office whose
scalp he was after. The total vote was
less than oneffth of the vote Brat
tleboro last cast for governor. Brattle-
horo is too good a town, too enterpris-
ing, to be blighted by the still hunt
and its usual concomitants of petty
differences, antogonisms and wrangi-
ings. A hunt in the open isn't bad
thing for a community, for it stimu-
lates general interest in the public
business.

Brains in Business.
Rutland News.)

The non advertising merchant does
himself a double injustice. He gets the
penalty from two different directions.
He fails to get the business that he
would get if he advertised in the news
papers and he encourages mail order
houses to make special efforts to get
it,
The mail order houses get busy in
towns where the merchants fail to adj
Vertlse, as is shown by the following
statement of the advertising manager
of one of the largest concerns of this
kind in the country: eve have a
bureau whose duty it is to read each
week the country newspapers from all
over the country. There is not a
paper of any consequence in our
trade territory that our bureau does
not get. This bureau looks over these
papers, and when we find town where
the merchants are not advertising in the
local papers, we Immediately flood that
territory with our literature. 1t always
brings results far in excess of the same
efforts put forth in territory where the
local merchants use their local papers. J,
This Is not only good business, but it
is unanswerable logic.
Of one thing there can be no donbt.
The mail order business of the country
is run by men of brains.

l25 years. Quantities of arbutus were

ARMY BILL DEADLOCK,

The deadlock between the house and
senate conferees on the army bill is
not to be regarded with patience by
the people Of the country. There are
three items of dispute between the rep
resentatives of the two houses, and for
at least two Of them there is little real
cause The senate conferees insist too
strenuously on the size of the regular
army as provided by the Chamberlain
bill, that bill providing for a quarter
OF million men. The limit of $780,
900 or 10000 upon which it would be
possible to get the house conferees to
to agree is really considerably greater
than there is any guarantee would ever
be reached in time of peace, under a
volunteer system. 1t is, in fact, great
er than there is any likelihood of reach
ing. For the senators in conference to
insist upon this paper quarter Of nil
lion is folly.
Neither should the provision for a
nitrate plant, which the senate favors
~@ MUSE lSJCItSt NC Il matter upon
which a deadlock should be allowed to
grow up. The nitrate situation can
reasonably be regarded as a separate
matter, especially as its purpose is only
partly military.
50 that the conferees are dividing
their fire against three detectives when
all their efforts should be centered on
the one really important question in
dispute, whether the National Guard
shall be federalized and become the
first dependency of the nation after
the regular army, or whether the SEN
ate-favored Continental army shall
take that position.
That is the one point in dispute
really big enough to warrant such a
situation as exists. The chance of COM
ing to agreement upon it would be
improved greatly if the other two sub
Jects of discussion were gotten out of
the way, as they should be with half
this fuss.

Agricultural Organization


The work of organization for the
benefit Of Vermont agricultural inter
ests IS WeIl-nigh completed, as far as
the county agent units are concerned,
as only three of the II counties are
now without a county agent, Washing
ton county being the eleventh county
TO rail- into line in this most progress
olNt movement. The three counties
winch yet remain out Of the list of
those organized are Essex. Grand Isle
and Lamollie. Of those three none but
Lamollle county might reasonably be
expected to enter into the movement
at the present time, because the popu-
latlon of Grand Isle and Essex com
ties Is very much smaller than in the
other counties of the state, and. in the
case of Essex, great tracts of land are
not utilized for farming purposes. and
much of 1t is still covered with timber
Grand Isle land is quite generally in
state of cultivation, but the number Of
people rs comparatively small and they
are widely scattered; so the incentive
to organization would not normally be
so pronounced. In the case of LamOilIe
county, however, the conditions seem
TO be favorable for joining the organ
lzed movement because the county is
one of the rich agricultural sections of
Vermont and the possibilities for
farming operations are quite pronounc-
ed, while, in addition. the population
IS sufficiently compact to permit of
reasonable cooperation. Hence it is to
be presumed that Lamoille county will
not be long without the services of a
county farm agent.
The condensed reports of the various
county agents, as compiled under the
direction of the College of Agriculture.
University of Vermont make very in
tefestlng reading, even to one who is
not at all versed in farming, because
they indicate that Vermont is pro-
crossing steadily along scientific and
reasonable lines of farm operation.
For instance, the farmers are learning
the lesson OF cooperative buying. as
we note by the report of the Orange
county agent, who tells US that some
farmers IN the town of Bradford
bought lime in consignment, the size
OF which enabled them to cut their
prlce of last year by $3.50 per ton. It
IS only one of the many scattered
items that tell of progress toward
putting farm operation on a business
scale. These collective benefits should
be enough to Justify the organization
many times over and should encourage
to further effort along the same hne.

THE GERMAN NOTE.

In accordance with the general
principles of visit and search and the
destruction of merchant vessels recog-
nzed by international law, such yes
sells, both within and without the area
declared naval war zone, shall not
be sunk without warning and without
saving human lives unless the ship at
tempt to escape or offer resistance
In this new note, which the German
government has issued to its submar-
me commanders, is contained the CON
eesslon which the United States has
demanded. The rest of the note is
composed mostly of reiterations of the
German point of view with reference
to the conduct of the allied enemies.
Doubtless this much was necessary
to save the face of the imperial gov
eminent with the German people. The
authorities at Washington may or may
not regard it as wise to answer these
assertions. Perhaps it is Just as well
that we should have them laid before
us in plain language for study AID
contemplation.
There is, nevertheless, string on
the proposal by which the Berlin gov
eminent reserves for itself the privi-
lege of withdrawing the new submar
inc rule in case Great Britain aad its
allies continue to disregard interna-
tional law-that is, if the United
States fails to push its protests with

The peon is a bright subject of the
Mexican government, whose principal
Occupation consists in raising four
teen distinct varieties of continuous
and explosive hell. Not all of the
Mexican poems follow this occupation
the year around, but there are enough
Of them who prefer the war path to
blowing corn to keep your Uncle Sam
uel awake nights.
The only man in Mexico who was
ever able to keep the peon in a sub
dued and docile state was the late
Porfirio Diaz. Mr. Diaz was a stern
man with a jaw shaped like cement
block, and he always got in the first
HEX, as Macaulay would say. When
ever Diaz heard that a bunch of long
haired poems had become fired with
patriotism and American whiskev and
were about to uprise, he did not wait
to confirm the report by letter. He
started for the scene of the uprising
before daylight, and when he had fin
ished what he had to say. the still
forms of his enemies could be seen
draped over the neighbors fences for
distance of six miles. Nobody ever
tried to spring a revolution on p. Diaz
without being taken home to his fam

England continues to show the strain
OF war feeling in the shooting of the
Irish rebels. If any one of the eight
who have been shot had been spared,
1t would have been to the honor of
England and the government would
have been all the stronger for it. Irish
history ought to be taken into account.
These eight men were intensely patri-
otie from their point of view. and we
all can admit that they were patriotic
from point of view which did not
discredit them. History must be con
sidered. These men were not Judases
or Benedict Arnolds. Living they would
have been harmless. 1t is a great pity
that they were shot.

The Mexican peon lacks a great
many things in order to make him a
desirable companion and household pet.
TWO of the things he lacks most are
education and soap, and it is hard to
say which would do the most coed.
Opinion is divided. Americans who
have lived in Mexico for any length
OF time say that compulsory bathing,
introduced at the point of the bavonet,
would do more to civilize the poem
than campaign for CONSOLIDATED
schools. Many poems are peaceful and
willing to work occasionally. if left
alone. but they are overawed by their
Warlke brethren, who would rather
shed their alcoholic breath on the field
of battle than plant one acre of Early
Ohio potatoes.
The only difference between the
peon and the Filipino is that the lat
ter has quit erupting for the time be-
ing Both would be better citizens if
few OF their leaders could be led out
shortly before sunrise and completely
filled with a low grade of lead ore. We
should sympathize with the peon in
his ignorance and lack of underwear,
but civilization would be advanced
several feet more if more of the colo
nels and generals in the peon army
could be removed from active pursuits
