ADMIRAL DEWEY AND Bt1'I'Et-
MII.I>.

How long has WashinTton's most
famous Ncrmonter been drinking butter
milk? How long has he been going To
bed early, rising early, etc? And how is
it that the admiral has descended to
buttcrmik--or a!sccndcL-and rot stopped
at the grape juice stage?
We do not know how many well-lnown
persons have been drinking tuttcrmiik,
ever since Metchnkof of the Pastcur
Institute in Paris made if famous. We
never heard of the admiral's drinking
buttcrmilk while his flag WAS nyinE from
the Oriental Hotel at Manhattan Beach
and he did not go to bed with the birds,
either That of course was back in the
summer of 1913. and much may happen
in thirteen years.
Admiral Dewey attributes his robust
ness to drinking buttermilk, goms to bed
early, rising early. getting us much fresh
air as possible, having regular habits
and not worrying" Hats off to butter
milk, but we venture to say that the
fresh air OF the quarterback pacing did
more for the robustness Of Admiral
Dewey than all the other things put
together.

VERMONT WATER CONSERN ALTON
AND POWER CONSERX ALTON.

International tits between the United
and river waters have resulted in pre-
venting the development of many thou
sands of hydro-clectric at Niagara Falls,
at the head of the Long Sault rapids in
the St. Lawrence river and elsewhere
along the great bodies of water on the
boundary between the two coLatres.
Sooner or later the high price Of coal
and OF gasoline and other fuels will force
a demand on the part of the 'ublic for
the conservation through government
agencies Of the country's white coal just
as we are now insisting that :ie federal
government take action to pull down the
high cost of -four and other food neces-
saries
The beginning OF this demand brought
out the certainty of conflict between State
and federal authority over the question
Of jurisdiction in dealing with conScrva-
tiOn of water and other natural resources.
Meanwhile both States and nation are
proceeding on the theory that the efforts
of both will be required to ensure con-
scrvation, while individuals are clamor-
ing for the right to exploit water power
for their own benefit in spite ot all con-
sderation Of the common veal. We have
hitherto discussed the federal side of this
question.

State conservation Of water power now
takes on n new tnge of interest in view
of the expression of opinion by IA rail
road man that in the not distant future
the Central Vermont railroad will he

as compared with those encountered in
irrigation and power projects in the Rocky
mountain region,
Similar hydro electric development is
being discussed in other States. The
Lewiston Journal. for example, tells of the
situation in Maine as follows:
"Rumors have been circulating for
some time that the Maine Central at an
