BURLESON'S LABOR RECORD.
CFrom the Kennebec Journal,


Senator Sherman has thrown a bomb
into the democratic camp. and probably
into the camp of organized labor, by his
exposure of the fact that Samuel Comp
ers chief friend and pal in this admins
traton, Postmaster General Burleson,
has amassed his fortune by the use OF
convict labor on his Texas plantation.
Mr. Burleson employs convicts to the
exclusion of free labor. giving the State
60 per cent. of their product ard retain
ing 40 per cent for himself. Senator
cannot approve OF the intimacy between
Mr. Gompers and Mr. Burleson under
these circumstances. He does not know
If Mr. Gompers Is aware of how his pal,
Burleson has amassed his wealth. and he
is convinced that organized labor general
lly is unaware Of the facts: therefore he
has spread upon the Congressional Rec
ord the court records Of the trial for
murder of convict of one of Burleson' 8
overseers, who had horsewhipped the UNI
fortunate convict until he died. The
overseer was acquitted on the ground
that all the evidence against him came
from the fellow-convicts of his victim.
And Burleson has since appointed him
postmaster of Iongview, Tex.
Declaring that every intelligent COM
munity of the world and every decent
citizen in this country is opposed to
convict labor" Mr.. Sherman said he felt
! 1t his duty, 'inasmuch as Mr. Burleson
is partner of Mr.. Gompers in his
political activities" to expose the facts.

STATE AID FOR FAIRS.

The demand for the exercise of greater
care in state expenses is voiced by the
Rutland News in a particular direction
as follows:
THE Rutland News insists that the
State Of Vermont should discontinue
its appropriation Of $1,000 biennially as
a bonus to the State fair The exhibition
at White River Junction, as well as the
fairs in Rutland and all other towns in
Vermont, should stand on their own
bottom. If any of them cannot be sue
cessfuly managed as business PROPOSE
tons it would be just as Well to have
them discontinued. It is certain that the
fair for which there is a demand would
survive without assistance from the
State treasury. Vermont would do a
great deal better to devote the $4,000
that 1t has been giving every two years
to assist the State fair to building one
or two splendid cross-S State highways
: comparable with the Mohawk Trail. 1t

TRUE GENTLEMEN DO NOT SWEAR

we are glad the Rev. W. II. I.awlor
preached a powerful sermon at the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
to a large congregation or men against
profanity. That is not only practical
religion, but also advancing civilization.
Time was when some people thought
1t smart to swear Happily, that time
has passed.
Men of Vermont, people in general, in
these days Immediately lose their respect
for any man or woman who swears; and
1t is as proper for woman as for man.
No matter how much you may esteem
q man otherwise, the moment you hear
profanity pass his lips, especially in the
presence of woman, you recognize at
once not only lack of good breeding and
Eentility, but also a strain of common
vulSarity which you can not wipe out or
even forget. Your respect for him is
lowered. You at once know there is some
thing lacking in that persons moral
makeup.
Boys of Vermont, never forget these
serious facts when some malicious spirit
or vulgar companion tries to teach you to
swear.

If any little words of ours
can make one life the brighter:
If any little song OF ours
can make one heart the lighter;
God help us speak that little word.
And take our bit of singing
And drop 1t in some lonely vale
To set the echoes ringing
If any little love of ours
can make one life the sweeter;
lf any little care of ours
can make one step the fleeter;
IT any little help may ease
The burden of another;
God give us love and care and strength
To help along each other.

can make some work the stronger;
IT any cheery smile of ours
can make its brightness longer

one thousand dollars Juno list, and throe
thousand dollars September list, of each
year.
Section OF the nc, says that "The
sum OF five thousand dollars Is hereby
appropriated annually for the purpose
Of aiding all agricultural societies,
whether Incorporated or not, excepting
the state fair and which hold fairs dur
Ing the years in which such appropria-
tions shall apply"
The closing paragraph OF section eight
says; THE auditor of accounts shall
draw an order in favor of each of such
societies as complies with provisions OF
his act dividing the I'VE thou
sand dollars pro rata among such fairs
according to the amount Of prizes and
premiums paid by such societies in such
year, but in no case shall any society
receive more than six hundred dollars in
any one year.
NO sum appropriated by this act shall
be allowed to any fair unless on or be-
fore the first day Of December In each
year In which the fair is held a sworn
statement or declaration shall be made
| to the auditor OF accounts by the super
! intendent or secretary of tho fair that
no gambling establishments or obscene
exhibitions have been licensed by the
officers of such fair to operate on the
grounds controlled by such fair"
That Is the law under which State aid
for agricultural fairs is now distributed
in Vermont. The State fair is not much
more worthy as an agricultural exhibition
than that of Addison county held n
Middlebury. and we see no reason why
the State should set aside this $4,000 every
two years for its special use or as muct
| az Is devoted to all other agriculture
exhibitions in Vermont combined.
1t would be interesting to know how
much 1t has cost the allies to watch FOL
