Any man, whom conditions
through honorable service or social
standing has made him favorite of
the people, can be governor OF a
state; but it takes more than a fav-
orite with the people to become a
United States senator of any note.
To be sure, good governors have
made good senators; but this is the
exception, not the rule.
We claim United States senator
should be of strong timber, capable
of withstanding any condition and
not easily overcome by timber of
equal strength. In other words he
should be of the same intellectual
calibre of other members of the
senate, and with the same force and
persistence, for he has not only the
conditions of his own state to con-
tend with, but the conditions of the
nation at large. Charles W. Gates
is a favorite son of Vermont. AS
state highway commissioner he stood
without peer. For his usefulness
and interest taken in this line of
work, and his being favorite of
the people, he was made a governor
without dissenting vote. This was
an honor conferred upon him. But
we imagine there are hundreds OF
our citizens, great admirers OF
Gov. Charles W. Gates, who wish at
heart, even if they do not express it
n words, that Governor Gates had
not taken this latter step announc-
ing his candidacy for election to the
United States senate. More than
one editor, delicate about express
ing his true opinions on this subject,
will hesitate before doing so. But
this does not lessen the fact as we
look upon it, that Gov Charles W.
Gates, in announcing himself can
didate for the U. S. senate, has
made a grave mistake. We say this
basing our opinion upon all we have
known and read of his public career
Enough to compliment him in the
local and state positions he has filled
but not enough to place him in bat
tie array on the floor of the United
States senate,

His resolutions were in substance
that, as slavery could exist only by
force of local law, the slaves taken
upon the high seas where the local
law did not have force, became free
and had a right to rise. assert their
liberty and resist those who sought
to deny them their freedom. These
resolutions stirred the pro-slavery
men to passion, and they forced
through resolution, without de-
bate, without allowing argument or
defense, censuring Giddings as coun-
tenancing sedition and murder. He
at once resigned and left the house.
His constituents, the people of the
Western Reserve in Ohio, will doubt
less return him speedily. He is a

CHAPTER XIX.
SUGARIN' OFF.

Those they held to await the
command of their home govern
ment as to how they should
be disposed of. Daniel Webster,
secretary of state, took the ground
that the United States flag which
floated over that brig caused the
slaves on board still to remain slaves
on the high seas because they had
been shipped from slave state, and
were destined to a slave state. Mr..
Giddings, on the 2lst of March, last
month, offered a resolution in the
lower house of congress on the sub
ject, which seems to have set the
southern members wild with rage.

The Sunset" Argument.

Brother Bigelow of the st. Johns
bury Caledonian. in his argument for
Gov. C. W. Gates for United States
senator brings up that old time
worn sunset" argument 50 fire.
quently used when younger men
wish to fill the offices of those of
more mature and experienced years.
1t talIies we'll with the argument of
the man who, a few years ago,
would put ban or death sentence
on all men over sixty as being of no
earthly ue. Or the Eskimo tribes
of the far north who killed their old
men because they failed in physical
strength. A great many men fail
physically and mentally even before
the 60 year limit is reached. Others
do not. Hundreds of our strongest
men mentally are those of mature
wears; men who carry with them
the experience of years, and whose
intellect never is impaired. In the
days of powerful Rome it was the
old men who sat in the senate while
the Younger men took to the field.
This is as it should be today.
The sunset" argument is as weak
today as it would have been then.
There is no sunset age to man while
he is capable of holding his own in
the field of men. The best fighting
soldier since the world began is the
old war-scarred soldier of an earlier
day. To such men the sunset
period comes suddenly and it needs
argument to tell when they are
down and out. AS yet this sunset
effulgence has not reflected over the
horizon of either Senator Dillingham;
or Page. At least no one has no
ticed it outside of those who would
cart them out for some younger
man. And so the sunset" argu
.ment, as long as there is no other
comes to the front. 1t IS a mighty
weak argument. Both Dillingham;
and page are more capable of facins
;mnortant conditions today than a
anv time during their senatorial
career They stand as giant oaks
strong and robust in. the midst %
Young and wind-bending trees. Ihl
NV he a fiowery comparison bu
II hits the mark. The ma ority o
voters, as we feel inclined to be
lieve, will hardly be controlled b

friends have no hesitancy in pro-
claiming him the right man for the
place. In his announcement he
clearly sets forth his reasons for be-
ieving he should be given the
honor. This announcement is clear
out, and he makes his claim on the
fact that he has been doing work
that fits him for the office. Mr..
Cave was born in Barre and has
spent his life in Washington county.

Was a Progressive Governor

In 1890 he was elected Governor,
and it was in this position that he
earned his highest honors. In his
inaugural message he recommended
the Australian ballot, which. after
a hard fight, was adopted.
He found in the State three So
called medical colleges, which were
dispensing cheap diplomas. After
hard fight they were wiped out
by proper legislation. He was the
first Governor ever to recommend
the weekly payment of wages in
money, the first to ever recommend
the abolition of railroad passes, the
first to ever recommend legislation
with reference to child labor. All
these measures were written into
the statute books either at that
time or little later, and everyone
conversant with Vermont's execu.
tive affairs was prompt in recogniz
ing Governor Pages administration
as one of the most progressive II
the history of the state. Not al
his recommendations were favorably
acted upon during his administra
ton, as he was ahead of his day anC
generation, but all his recommends

At the age of q he let go his
fathers old business and began to
devote himself more especially to
the green calfskin trade, which he
developed from the smallest begin
nings to one of the largest in the
world.
He collected his raw material
from all portions Of the United
States and Canada, and shipped to
tanners in many parts of the world.
His name became we'll known in
Great Britain, France, Italy, Ger

key, and with his name was fixed
accuracy of selection and absolute
squareness in dealing.
Trade journals repeatedly COM

but we believe it was not the size
so much as correct business methods
that the Senator took pride in.

Some Good Farming

Last evening we were invited
into Mr.. B. J. Abbott's garden
for a stroll. Of course we ac-
cepted. Now, this garden is
right near the walk between our
Office and residence but we had
never been inside and our stroll
was a revelation. Peaches,
pears, apples, apricots, figs,
pecans, walnuts and grapes are
themi in profusion and some of
there are as fine as you would
wish to see. And there are
vegetables galore = cabbage, let
tuce, turnups, onions, potatoes,
Strawberries, peas, okra, squash,
beets, canteloupes. cucumbers,
and nearly everything one
would grow to eat, as well as
several herbs used in medicine
and formerly grown in most
southern gardens. Besides there
are many rare and beautiful
flowers, too numerous to mention
were we sufficiently familiar
with them to do so.
This garden is in an L shape
with field crops at either end.
Alfalfa to the east and wheat to
the south. The fouth crop of
alfalfa is now coming on and the
wheat has already been harvest
ed and it was fine, this land has
already been planted to corn and
peas, while the alfalfa comes on
continuously and furnishes green
feed for what cattle and hogs he
keeps at home and they are fed,
too.
Now, don't get the notion that
this is a field. 1t is somewhere
about one acre all told, perhaps
just a little more, but it was
properly prepared, well cultivat-
ed and is a source of pleasure
and profit to its owner. APP
parently the the trees make no
shade and the plants require but
room to stand. Here can be
seen agricultural and horticultur-
al demonstrations that would
open the eyes of many farmers as
regards the possibilities of this
soil. What Mr.. Abbot is doing
could be done by every man
here if he would only use his
head and hands, for this plot Of
ground has no natural advan-
tages over any other spot here
abours. Why not more of this

A Plea for a Syrian Hospital

in the face Of the multiplicity of appeals for
special and urgent need under circumstances
far more spectacular than those surrounding
the preexsting institutions. Nevertheless,
these institutions were and are supplying
pressing and constant need. Such an insti-
tuition is the Hospital for the Insane, known
as Asfuriyeh Hospital, above Beirut, Syria,
the only hospital of its character in that
region Of the world and presenting so

THE MENACE OF LARGE FAMILIES
Future Citizens Need Minimum of Care
and Nutrition

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: One Of your correspondents grows
rather vehement in his denunciation OF the
propaganda of Mrs. Sanger. In calling Mrs
Sanger misguided woman | think ne is un-
lust. and when he considers birth control
fearful peril think he is substituting some
thing else for thought. ! wonder how many
of YOUR readers ever ask themselves what is
the necessity for this action and then use
their honest efforts to find out.
Even superficial searching will be re-
warded by enough plain facts to change
opposed opinions. The poor in this and other
large cities have such large families as to
menace their own chances. Even in times OF
prosperity we find them in saualor, congested
in reeking homes shy Of food and clothing
Of course, these conditions, with the lgno-
rance that goes with them, seem 70 some no
barrier to increased offspring Give the state
plenty of children, as Mr.. Roosevelt says, ana
even if they are improperly brought up they
are here and we have them 70 work with.
Put that is a rash statement, in which is over
looked a certain minimum OF care and of
nutrition that must not be sacrificed. In try
ing TO work with future citizens our state
cannot take too great a risk nor go TO an
cxorbitant expense. Our schools, that are
irving TO mould these youths, expect to deal
with a fairly sound mind and body. In some
quarters the schools are being presented with
children in whom these qualities are literally
perishing.
For humane reasons we should ameliorate
these conditions. The birth rate among the
noverty-stricken native and the immigrant
who possesses little more than his heart OF
gold" is too heavy strain for them. In
.hese DAYS when individual liberty IS being
doled out in haphazard fashion the matter re-
ceives more weight. The sentiment OF the
time is against spurious citizenship. Your
correspondent should not flag this movement
which is a prescription to right great wrong,
unless he can offer some system OF economic
relief The subject should have the serious
and speedy attention Of the medical profess
slim. The women's point Of view is par
ticulnrly desirable.
Who pretends to use such q sacred thing
as a childbirth as a check upon immortality
Forced goodness is not goodness at all. II
the proper way to control morality is to
make sin impossible or painful, then where
is the virtue in self-control, in self-restrant
and in an honor system? | always thought
Christian people were taught to have con-
science. to be sensitive to public opinion
and in that way overcome their egoistic i'm
