spent in the South, various Southern
Democrats are clamoring for a total
sum of nearly S10,0OO,0OO. Senator
Tillman wants $11 100000 for a gov
eminent armor plant. This makes
on the first day of the session.
Their Northern brethren were more
modest, knowing, doubtless, that they
have few rights in the party organiza-
ton which is offered almost exclusive
ly from the South. Yet Northern
Democrats, on the first day of the ses-
sion, came forward with varied list
Of demands for pork" ranging from
an annual sum of 81 100000 for a mill
itary training camp in each state down
to $4,000 for commission 20 investi-
gate commissions.
And yet it is good betting that the
next Democratic platform, like the
last, will have resounding plank in
favor of economy.

A case in point has just come 20
our attention. The very worst space
grafters that country publishers have
TO contend with, strange enough, is
The United States government. The
state Of Vermont, counties, towns, vii
lagos, school districts, expect to pay
and do pay for any publicity given
them that is advertising rather han
news. SO far as we can learn the
J United States expects all kinds Of pub
licity and no pay There is money
abundant for everything and every.
body else, but the editor is always
advised, when he receives advertising
notices from federal officials with the
request to print that there is no APP
preparation available" in such cases.
A request came recently TO the office
Of this newspaper TO publish such an
advertisement, which was declined and
the official so advised and for what
reasons. The official replied, appar-
emily much injured, that his efforts 10
convey information" to certain fed
eral taxpayers in this region could
not be realized through the free use Of
our columns, and containing the i'm
lied threat that he may be obliged to
explain later on how it was tina. this
did not reach them" We
will assist him if he desires. 1t can be
explained by the simple statement
that when Uncle Sam is prepared to
pay as others do for exactly The same
kind of service he will be treated here
the same as they are. And not till.
And it will not suffice to be advised
that certain other publishers accept
such advertising free. So long as de
Dar.ments can get all the publicity
hey require without charge, other
ways will be found for placing the

JOINT MEETING OF VERMONT
BIRD CLUB AND VERMONT
BOTANICAL CLUB

The 21st annual winter meeting OF
The Vermont Botanical Club and the
| 14th of the Vermont Bird Club will be
held in Rutland, Friday and Saturday,
Ian 81 and %, 1916. Headquarters
will be at the New Bardwell Hotel.
the first session will open at 1920 d.
m on Friday, and the meetings will
continue through Friday afternoon,
evening and Saturday forenoon. The
details as to adjustment between the
sessions of the Botanical and Bird
Sections will be arranged as hereto
fore according to the number and ma
ture of the papers offered. The adj
dress Friday evening will be delivered
by Prof George P. Burns Of the Uni
versity of Vermont on "Our native
trees and shrubs and their use in land
scape design"
The committee on publication wish
to make the urgent request that all
members who have papers at the win
ter meeting bring with them diges.s
of the same as well as the full text
of the papers. A digest made by the
writer is always more satisfactory to
him than one made by someone else
and besides, he can "boil down" his
ideas the more intelligently. If this
request is complied with it will greatly |
help the committee in its effort to get |
out the bulletin early. The fall sea-
son, while the botanical trips of the
past season are fresh in mind, is the
pest time to get together material for
he bulletin and the committee will
gladly receive contributions for the
bulletin at any time. II is hoped that
he Botanical and Bird Notes" de
)artment will be even larger in the
lext number.

CANADA's SHARE IN THE WAR

The announcement by Premier Bor'
den that the authorized forces Of Can
ada are 20 be increased from 100000
TO 100000 is the Dominion's new
years gift to the British empire and
her proclamation Of defiance to the
Kaiser The announcement was whol'
/ ly unexpected and has not failed in Its
dramatic effect, The gasp Of surprise
with which the Canadians greeted il
was succeeded at once by an earnest
resolution 10 achieve the desired
end. A force Of 100000 though
startingly large, is perfectly feasible.
1t is but slightly over 6 per cent Of
the total population and somewh hat I'M
der 30 per cent Of the males Of mill
tary age. That is indeed large pro-
portion in young country where
labor is eagerly absorbed. Neverthe-
less, if .he present number Of men
under arms is 100000, as we are told,
and il recruits continue to come in at
the rate Of almost 1000 per day, as
has recently been the case, it requires
but simple arithmetical calculation
TO show tina. the half-million mark
will be reached before the close Of the
year
But even if the officially sanctioned
total is never attained, it is well that
the goal has been placed high. The
mistake was made early in the war of
no. asking enough. The Canadians
are a spirited people who respond
most readily to challenge. There is
something stimulating in demand
which seems difficult of fulfilment. If
the government at Ottawa urgently
requires, say, $4,000 soldiers, it has
acted wisely in calling for the larger
figure. Likewise The moral effect Of
Canada's offering in Berlin and Vienna
is not to be lost sight Of.
The burden Of this huge armament
will be serious. Sir Thomas White,
the able minister of finance, has es-
timated that the maintenance Of such
a force will cost the country $500, 0OO,-
300 per year. But Canada is buoyant
and prosperous and confronts the
money sacrifice without dismay. The I
record crop of last summer and the
of war-orders equal in value
turing the last twelve month to the
lalf- billion which .he war will cost the
country this year, have restored bust
,ess confidence and banished unem-
,loyment The visitor to Canada can
lot fail to be struck by the optimism
4 the inhabitants in regard to the
outcome Of The war. 1t is easy to see
hat this assurance Of untilmate vic
DRY is in some measure by-product
f economic vigor. So Canada, pos
essing youth and health, takes up !
litheIy the task of aiding the mother
oun.ry, and is abundantly assured
hat she is thereby defending her own
emocracy.-Boston Transcript. i

DEMOCRATIC EXTRAVAGANCE
CONTINUES
Especial correspondencel

lopeCldl COTTeSpuHueHCc1
Washington, Jan. 12-When Demo-
cratic hard times hit the country, at
ter the passage of the Underwood tar
if law, laboring men and others whose
incomes were curtailed were compelled
to economic. Not so the Democratic
Congress, which made appropriations
upon a scale Of extravaganza never
before equalled. Within the las. year
"war brides" have livened up some
communities and in some localities
times are better. Not so in the Fed
eral Treasury, which now has fifty
million S of deficit and which will have
more than twice as much at the end of
the fiscal year. Yet the Democrats in
Congress show no signs of trying to
fit their expenditures to the income.
The number and amount of appro-
priations are little short of appalling,
considering the condition Of the Treas
ury-and The significant fact is that
most of the raids on the public funds
which Democratic Congressman con
template are wholly to be classified as
pork"
Your correspondent has just exam
ined the file of printed bills introduced
by Democrats in Congress on the first
day of the present session and calling
for money from the Treasury for
private or selfish or political reasons.
The documents are vivid common
tary upon the ingenuity of Democratic
statesmen in devising schemes to get
public funds for their own political
benefit and for the benefit of their
communities.
These bills also produce additional
evidence, if any were needed, that the
South is in the saddle and that the
great bulk of Federal pork" money is
designed to be distributed in the
Southern States. For instance, Rep
from Arkansas proposes
that the Federal government shall pay
zach Confederate soldier and each
widow of such $500 in lump sum and
/ pension of $50 a month during the
Of their lives, and asks the
modest sum of sl00,000,000 for this
purpose. A member from Louisiana
demands tina. the government estab- ,
ish homes for disabled Confederate }
their wives and widows, and
wants s720,0OO appropriated. Three :
members - hailing from Mississippi, :
oklahoma and Arkansas, respectively /
want the cotton tax refunded to I
he Southern planters who paid it in 3
'ivil War times Two Of these bills h
emand S6S,000000 each for this pur +
lose, while the third asks for such n
ums as may be necessary" Senator n
