with proper choice of variety and
proper care, Vermont can compete with
the world in apple growing" This state
rnent. made by Or. j. *. Shaw of the
massachusetts Agricultural College, at
the New England Fruit show in Mont
peer, carries all the more thorough con-
viction because 1t is qualified.
Vermont has many advantages over
Washington and Oregon; for instance, in
possessing climate peculiarly we'll
suited to certain standard varieties. in
being near to the metropolitan area Of
population. the largest within a given
area and the best-to-do in :he country,
and in having the experts of the State
College of Agriculture and agricultural
extension service to advise growers as
10 methods. The State can raise as fine
quality of fruit, if not finer and get
it to the New York and Boston markets
al lower rate than any of the COM
peting States.
THE mission of the box is to force the
grower to produce better fruit" said Hon.
A. j. Eaton, in an address the same day
on The Appleton and How to Fill It,"
The packing of it's apples is something
the West. as MIR. Eaton added, can well
be proud Of; and to its skill in this re-
spoct it owes much of its success in mar
keting its apples in the East The old
Greek notion that the beautiful must he
the good was very human it persists to
this day. The public buys the beautiful
thing. whether it is beautiful car,
beautiful clothes or beautiful foods. The
beauty of an object wins it before it has
time to reflect as to the sober uses of the
thing it purchases
Vermont apples, properly grown and
sun-colored, are as good as they are
beautiful. but their charms are not al
ways set off in nice packings and they
are not always nicely boxed
Vermont ought TO be able to pick its
apples later. and pack them more at
tractively and sell them more chcaply
in the New York and Boston areas than
any of its western rivals.

CLOSE PRESIDENTIAL VOTES.


The prolonged period required to deter
mine for certainty whether Wilson or
Hughes has the electoral votes Of some
of the States, and the exact margin in
States which are surely one way or the
other, though close. is liable to lead us to
the conclusion that there was never any
situation before just like the present This
is true, but We have had contests both
close and long I'm doubt as to the issue in
various States, although not in as many
States as are now still counting their
votes.
California New Hampshire. New
Mexico and Minnesota will not know for
a certainty for some time yet just what
the presidential plurality is, but there
seems no possible room for questioning
the reelection of President Wilson. When
States like the Granite State turn on
side and then the other, it is about as
narrow "A margin one could ask for
No one State can claim to settle the
Issue, however.
The older generation of voters will re-
call that number of days were requ,red
to determine whether Cleveland or Blaine
was elected to the presidency in 1884. In
that exciting and memorable contest the
whole issue of the control of the United
States government depended upon the
outcome in New York. and a change of
b7j votes from the democratic column TO
the republican in that year would have
elected Blaine instead of Cleveland and
put the republicans in power throughout
The country. In that contest Blaine also
had less popular votes than Cleveland
throughout the country, the figures being
4,S1l ,9M and 4,S74,S9G respectively, leaving
difference much smaller than in the
popular vote of 1916.
In 1850 also there was very slight
difference in the republican and demo
cratic votes, Garfield having received
4i5i4l6 and Hancock 44i4,952 In that
year California was even a closer state
apparently than in 1916, since a change
of forty popular votes from Hancocl
would have given Garfield the State, Or
the other hand, a change of $40 votes II
Oregon from Garfield to Hancock would
have given the latter the electoral vote
OF that state.
In 1883 the transfer of III popular vote
in Connecticut from Cleveland to Harri

transfer of only % popular votes in
would have given Teddy the Maryland
electoral votes. On the other hand, the
change of 232 popular votes in California
in 1912 from Roosevelt to Wilson would
have given Wilson California which he
did not need as at present.
The year most closely resembling the
present in the number Of small margins
in the popular votes In different states
was 1896. A change of III popular votes
in Kentucky from Mckinley to Bryan
would have given Bryan the electoral
votes of the Blue Grass state. change
of only 90 popular votes in South Dakota
from Bryan would have given that State 3
electoral votes to Mckinley. and a
transfer of 292 votes in Wyoming from
Bryan would have carried the Wyoming
electoral vote to the champion of protec-
ton.
A close popular vote does not necessarily
mean narrow margin in the electoral
college however. In 1855 Harrison
popular vote was 5,ii5.i52 and Cleveland =
b,b3s,755 while Harrison had 933 electoral
votes to 1858 for Cleveland In 1899 condi-
tions were reversed. Cleveland having II
popular vote of 5,55i,5M to 5,15s,e12 for
Harrison with the electoral vote standing
FL and 1i5 respectively.
In 1912 Wilson had less popular votes
than both Taft and Roosevelt combined,
but his electoral vote was 435 to eighty
eight for Roosevelt and eight for Taft,

THE LESSON FOR VERMONT.

While we are talking about the lessons
Hughes campaign. and SO on, we should
not overlook the fact that Vermont re-
publcans have a great opportunity to
profit from the situation and develop
ments throughout the country ns a whole.
1t is true that the Green Mountain state
is still safely republican for the present.
but with the vote for Mr.. Wilson the
largest ever given by Vermont to a demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency and
with the republican plurality about 1000
less than it should he under normal condi-
tons, or about i5.725, it is no time for
Vermont republicans to crow or hug
themselves in SNUG complacency.
Our columns will bear testimony to our
long repeated injunctions that the pro-
gressiVc republicans must be given At
large voice in party affairs. # the party
was to continue to win elections. The
voice of the West supplements largely
reduced republican margins in most east
ern states to show this is truer now than
ever We must have young blood in tho
party as we'll as a real union Of the two
wings lately apart.
Every intelligent discussion of the
republican situation. whether by Governor
Johnson of California or republican lead
ers in New Hampshire, has Hrlpha sized
the Importance attached to the direct
nomination system. Yet there are rc'
publicans in Vermont who have beer
seriously agitating the repeal of Yer
! montS new direct primary law.
In the light Of the election returns il
| is easy to see that the overthrow of the
system of direct nominations by tho
people of Vermont would be republican
! suicide We must not only retain direc
| nominations but We must also do various
| other things demanded by the people,
The republicans of Vermont, both il
! Legislature and in State departments
must give the taxpayers genuine economy
! Economy means short session OF tn,

lea on his return to Chicago from a meet
ing of the executive board OF the assoc

high cost of living problem was the topic.
Mr., Bell said a serious crisis exists and
that Immediate and firm steps are neces-
sary to relieve conditions. both in the
interest of the consumer and the bust
ness men Of the country. He added.
while tho consumer bears the heavy
burden, the fact is now known IN bust
ness circles that present conditions ar"
putting a large number of establishments
dealing in food commodities out OF bust
ness
This IL true not only in the bakery
business. but in many other lines OF food
supplies. While the war has seemed to
hcip some industries the baking and
other food trades have been steadily re-
ceiving blows, which If they continue,
will have a permanent disastrous effect
"rhere Were, according TO our stats
tics and inquiries at the outbreak OF the
war, 30,0Oo bakeries IN this country.
Since the outbreak Of the war at least
20 per cent Of these have gone out of
business.
An investigation by the department OF
agriculture, by Il federal trade commits
sion, by the Chamber of Commerce of tho
United States, or by special committee
of Congress, would be welcome and would
undoubtedly put an end to the abnormal
! state of affairs. Even an inquiry by the
department of Justice through the attor-
ncy- general would be accepted as bound
to produce good. The bakers are partic-
ularly anxious for something to be done.
