The Cat out of the Bag

Senator Underwood, author OF the
tariff law, which, fortunately for the
United States, has been practically I'M
enforceable owing to the embargo OF the
war, has made the honest confession
that may be good for his own free trade
soul if it is not for his brother Democrats
when he says "he will not vote for pro-
lection to the American dye industries
and "that he does not intend to submit
tamely to swallow such Republican doc
trine as this" By letting the cat out OF
the bag at this stage of the game Mr..
Underwood shows up for the benefit of
the country the real attitude of the un-
terrified Southern Democracy towards
the party platforms and the revenue
measures that are being passed by the
party as pure vote-catching laws intend
ed to tide over critical political situa-
tion. but which are not believed in either
in principle or as opportunism by those
who are the real bosses OF the party.
Mr.. Underwood's outbreak
teaches one thing surely. and that is,
that if the country wants real protection
It had better make sure of it by voting
in a Republican Congress and not trust
its affairs to eleventh-hour converts in a
party which, if put back in power, may
recant all it's ideas over night.

The boys stock Judging contest was
held Wednesday morning, starting at 10
o'clock. Four classes of stock were
judged, one of Hereford beef cattle, one
of Holstein dairy cows, one of Jersey
dairy COWS and one of Chester white
pigs, four animals constituting a class.
Much interest was shown in the contest
by the crowd which gathered around the
judging ring. Twenty minutes was CIV
en- for each class, the boys placing the
animals and writing their reasons for
their placing. G. R. Carlton of the Yer
mont Agricultural Extension Service,
who is conducting similar contests at the
various fairs of the state was in charge of
the contest, assisted by W. c. Wood, in.
structor in agriculture at the Lamoille
Central Academy at Hyde Park. Six
boys were entered and the prizes were
awarded as follows: Earl G. Keller of
Morrisville, the first prize of $l2; Ell. w.
Martin of Gilmore, the second prize of
$500 and Ellis Cram of Morrisville the
third prize of $500.

About the Railroad Union

In discussing the railroad situation
MIR. Garretson, a representative of the
railroad brotherhood, said:
"In times like this men go back to pri.
NAL instincts. They 60 back to the day
of the caveman, the caveman who, with
his half-gnawed bone, snarled at the 9th
er caveman who wanted to take his bone
away. am reminded today of the time
l worked on a train down in Mexico,
where the vulture was a sacred bird.
When we hit a COW, specks in the sky
that were vultures could soon be seen
over the carcass. Now all the public is
the carcass. And we all, perhaps the vul-
lures. We brotherhood leaders are pro-
tecting the pockets of our men; the rail-
roads are protecting the pockets of their
stockholders, and the shippers are pro-
tecting their own pockets. The country
will pay"
Yes, the country will pay, that is, the
people who labor as well as those who
employ will pay, in the added cost that
must come for transportation, cost
that will handicap our manufacturers
when the sharp competition with foreign
countries shall come at the close of the
war abroad Mr.. Garretson's summary
of conditions is a sad commentary on
our boosted civilization. Vultures, in.
deed. God forbid that the American peo
ple shall so lower the standard of out
country as to make it a community
where one section preys on the other.
The settlement now proposed, we car
but believe and reiterate, is not settle
ment of the strike, but an expediency
that will not forever make impossible, as
is the hope of the President, the recur
renee of like conditions.

The poultry house and fireless cooker

The time is almost at hand when the

say. Studying the record of Senator
Pages eight years in Congress. they do
not find his record blank, as his parcel
post vote, his vocational Bill, his stand
on the free toll for American ships and
his vote in favor of the agricultural in-
terests of the country all show him to be
a painstaking public servant with sound
business judgement. Over this side OF
the county, it looks as if the Page senti.
ment is strong and it is based on three
premises: his record, his experiedce and
the Vermont precedent of returning our
public servants to the Senate, which has
built up and maintained our prestige in
public affairs.

PRESS COMMENT.
(St. Johnsbury Caledonian)

The Essex County Herald gets consid.
cradle truth in small space when it
says: "Allen M. Fletcher approved,
favored and signed popular laws be-
cause the people demanded them, not be-
cause they originated or were carried
out as a Fletcher idea" That is about
all there is to Mr.. Fletcher's service for
Vermont. He alleges to have been a
resident of Vermont (although he main
tanned a residence in New York and con-
Quoted the main part OF his business
there) for about sixteen years. With
the exception of four years he held public
office ever since he came into the state
and he is candidate for still more. He
is spending an Immense amount OF
money and may be able to buy the re-
publican nomination for the United
States senatorship. We doubt it, how
ever, and if he should buy it we predict
that he would fail to be elected to that
honorable position by popular vote.
Vermont has been sold out sometimes in
the past but it is not con the market"
lust now.
