President Wilson Pleads For
Impartial judgement and Suggestion

The newspapers of the United States to-,
day have not only mission but message.
Back of their every utterance, given out TO
their readers, there should be one over
watching thought: That this is nation
made I'D of other nations. That IN this
country the millions of people who make
I'D the nation have come to these shores
from other countries. That to be an
American today does not mean to be an
Ang1o-Saxon. But that here under the
protection of the American flag, men of all
countries are building an empire.
First of all, these people from all the
other nations of the world must be Amer
lean citizens When they come to this
country and are endowed with the right OF
freemen, such as this country alone can
give, the obligations are not one-slded
The privileges which they enjoy entail re-
sponsibilities which cannot be evaded
Their first duty is citizenship.
But their. rights as citizens are equal to
these duties.
President Wilson, in speaking to the
newspaper men of Washington, said !:
"When you reflect upon the Importance of
this country keeping out of the present
war, you will know what tremendous ele-
ments we all are dealing with. If some
body does not keep his passions disengag-
ed, by what impartial judgment and sug-
gestion is the world to be aided to solu-
ton when the whole thing is over?"
1t is the press of the country, more than
to any other agent, that President Wilson
is looking, both in fear and in hope. The
tone of the press, more than anything else,
guickens or Gains the pulse of the public.
If the message which the press of this
country gives to the people of this country
IS patriotic, loyal, dispassionate free from
the false thought or colored facts, it is the
great hope-the lever which may help to
control the international situation. But if
the American press colors its news, pub
fishes rumors as facts, or presents its facts
IN careless fashion, then the false message
will breed dangerous action, the results
of which may be DISASTROUS, not only to this
country, but to the futre of the nations
of all the earth
Be it said to the credit of the press oil
the United States that, on the whole, the
great war stories have been handled with
consummate care.
Yet President Wilson has found it neces
sary to say:
II am constantly taken by surprise ir
regard to decisions which are said to be
my own, and this gives me an uncomforta
bic feeling that some providence is at worl
with which I have had no communication
at all"
The fact that the president has found i
necessary to make such plea for careful
ness should serve to impress upon every
newspaper editor in the country his re
sponsibilities, not only to his readers, Blu
to the nation as whole

OR TUBERcULAR?
National Authority Draws Distinction
Between Much Abused Words,

Distinctions between the words "tu-
bercular,' "tuberculOus' and "tuber-
culosis' when used as adjectives are
pointed out by the National Associa
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis, in a bulletin issued today
OF the various words used to desig-
nate some phase or other of the tuber-
culosis movement, says the bulletin the
word "tubercular" is most frequently
misapplied. The term "tubercular'
may be used correctly only to describe
conditions resembling tubercles, but
not necessarily caused by the tubercle
bacillus, the germ of tuberculosis.
Thus, II one says certain individu-
al is tubercular, he really indicates
that the person has a disease process
manifesting itself by tubercles or lit
tie Jumps, but it is not necessarily tu-
berculosis. To say that the person has
tuberculosis, the adjective "tubercu-
lous' is the correct word. 1t refers di-
rectly to diseased conditions caused by
the tubercle bacillus. Thus, when an
institution for tuberculosis recently
labelled itself as "tubercular sana-
torium," it not only indicated that the
sanatorium was sick, but that it was
sick with something resembling tuber-
culosis. The adjective "tubercular"
should be used very infrequently.
The word tuberculosis, the bull
letin holds, may be used correctly as
an adjective, modifying sanatorium,
hospital, nurse, etc. This is in accord
with the common usage of such phrases
as "typhoid hospital" smallpox in
frmary," etc. tuberculosis may al
so be used, as it commonly is, as noun,
but the use of tuberculosis or "tu-
bercular - as nouns without modify
ing definite article, "the," is extreme
ly doubtful.
Since the anti-tuberculosis campaign
is developing with such great rapidity, !
The National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, is urg-
ing all newspapers and other publica-
tions, as well as its own affiliated as
soeiations to make proper use of the
words tuberculosis" "tuberculous
and "tubercular.

LOCAL EXHIBITORS WINNERS.
List of Awards at National Dairy Ex-
position Includes Boys and Girls in
This Locality.

When the boys and girls prizes were
awarded at the National Dairy exposi
ton at Springfield, Mass, Saturday. il
was found that several Brattleboro
young people, as well as others in this
immediate neighborhood, had been list
ed among the highly successful ones
Miss Marguerite Nixon won a third
prize for bread. In the exhibition of
trios of chickens of miscellaneous
breeds Miss Pauline Il. Willis of Brat
tleboro won first prize. Lewis W.
Chickering of West Chesterfield, N. H.,
won second prize in the corn awards.
Hermon Robb of Brattleboro was
awarded a third prize on his market
garden collection. Burton Richardson
of Brattleboro won first prize on his

abeth Crane of Brattleboro won q sec
ond prize for machine and hand work.
Miss Elsie Chickering of West Chester
field, N. H., won second prize in ex-
hibit 3 of the canning department.
Richard II. Briggs of Brattleboro,
came in third in the cattle judging con-
test with score of AIS out of pos
sible 600 points. He chose the only
Guernsey bull offered as a prize, Mix
ter Trophy, sired by Equality of the
Glen, from the Mixter farm in Hard
wick. Mr.. Briggs is son of Russell H.
Briggs, one of the leading Guernsey
breeders in Vermont and winner of
state and local prizes too many to re-
member. Richard Briggs has entered
many judging contests in the past few
years and has distinguished himself by
the accuracy of his judgment
The judging contests were in charge
of H. p. Davis, dairy expert from the
United States college of agriculture,
and were the first of the kind ever con
Quoted for members of the boys and
girls clubs. They were conducted along
the same lines as the judging contests
for the agricultural college students.
The four leading dairy breeds were
judged, Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein and
Ayrshire, and four cows were used in
each breed. The winner also received
a prize of $75 offered by the Massa-
Society for the Promotion of
Agriculture, $50 from a separator com
pany and a separator of another make.
The Vermont boys were jubilant over
their success, as the four who entered
took three of the prizes, Mr.. Briggs be-
ing third, Reginald Reed of Concord,
VT, taking seventh prize, and A. Dew
ey Spooner of Barre, VT, taking the
l 18th prize. All were well satisfied with
the calves that came to them as prizes.

State Forest Tracts.
(Rutland NeWs.)

The proposal of the state forester to
purchase tract of cut-over land on
Cancels Hump, adjoining the state
forest reserve, is of interest to all
Vermonters. If consummated by the
approval of the governor, this pllr-
chase would make the state S holdings
on this peak over $500 acres.
Both by reason of their value in a
scenic sense and their possibilities for
commercial profit within a few years,
these state purchases are of great i'm
portance, but there are other factors
in their purchase just as interesting
and of just as much value to the vot-
err.
Every state forest tract is an object
lesson ir practical forestry and tends
to conserve the dwindling water sup
ply just so much. The long years of
education necessary to arouse public
sentiment to the value of woodlands
and Importance of their preservation
become of additional interest when
forest-lovers can point to a luxuriant,
natural growth in a state forest re-
serve, especially in the vicinity of
such reserves, and the practice of buy
ing isolated tracts probably had that
feature in mind. At the same time,
for the possibilities of future CONNER,
cial value, the larger tracts seem the
most advisable.
From a practical standpoint, these
state purchases occasional gifts and
the legacies of men like Joseph Bat
tell seem likely to constitute the prin-
cipal attempts at practical forestry in
the state, as most land owners look
only to the immediate profit and are
hard to get interested in PROPOSE.

If the governor gives his consent to
this Camel's Hump purchase, an i'm.

to the states forest holdings, and tax
payers in the vicinity of Killington
and Pico will hope to see a state tract
on one or both of these peaks in the
near future, either wholly or in part
The result of state enterprise.
1t looks as though the policy of pur-
chasing state forest tracts had come

Grand Total
........... $4,513,753


Taking these costs, year by year,
the statement shows the general ex.
penses of the state increasing from
$5O9,642 in 1901 Oaken from a file of
statements) to $676,72O in 1907 (pres.
ent statement) $l,O77,O5S in 19i1 to
l,S73,95l in 1916. This represents more
than a trebling of the states general
expenses in 10 years, certainly a start
ling and sensational showing.
In the same manner, the administra.
ton of justice has increased from
$246,6S7 in 1901 to $395,s75 in 1916,
due apparently to the constant addi-
ton Of new courts, additional judges,
higher salaries, etc. Other departments
show a similar increase.
Explaining the sources of the reve-
nue. provided to meet these large costs
large, that is, for small state like
Vermont-we find that the largest sim
gle source of income is 81 ,343 ,544, taxes
on savings banks and trust companies,
assessed for the biennium ending June
80, 1916. This can hardly be listed as
indirect taxation, as it affects ev-
cry savings deposit in the state, even
though the banks nominally pay taxes.
Railways contribute the next largest
amount, $1,OS9,SO9, while automobile
fees total the comfortable sum of
$494, l29, and insurance companies
$364,2S6. To offset a small portion of
court costs, fees, fines, etc, produced
$lS1, SOB, collateral inheritance taxes
$179,1 and national banks $135,6S0.
Liquor license fees account for $780,
422 and various state institutions 1925
92S. Among the other taxes are tele
phone and telegraph companies 1914 ,O29,
corporation license taxes $62,705, ex-
press companies $32 1862, and other cor
porations $25,421.
The theory of the advocates of an
indirect tax is that the corporations
pay the tax, but very casual exam
nation of these figures shows that the
people pay them in the long run, sew
eral notable examples, such as automo-
bile fees, court fees and fines and in
heritanee taxes being absolutely direct.
Vermont has run along under these
conditions for Is or 20 years, facing
constantly increasing cost of doing pub
lie business and passing on the cost in
theory to the state s creatures, the cor
porations. 1t is very evident, in late
years, that the limit has been reached
in this sort of taxation.
What of the future? Are we to con-
tinue adding year by year new activ-
tiles, new commissions, new officials,
new courts and fresh costs, or shall we
soberly take stock and adopt a radical
plan of retrenchment?
Tho Ranub1ioans of tba ofoto 1ybo
will undoubtedly control the next legis-
lature, are pledged to consolidation
of commissions and halt in the crea-
lion of new offices. Shall we consider,
not a cheese-paring, penny-wise policy
Of trimming around the edges, but
some comprehensive plan of cutting
some big costs through the middle and
abolishing others by consolidating de-
Dartmentss
1t is something of task, but the
need of halt is obvious when we
glance at the figures.
