The States Business.
(St. Adams Messenger. J


Unless some new development changes
the situation, there will be no investiga
tion of state expenses by the legisla-
ture following the action of the house
in killing the enabling resolution.
II may be that the powers that be
have some substitute plan to bring
about a deep delving into the conduct
of the states business, but if there is
not some such project in view, then
there is going to be some disappoint
ment in the state.
We have had some very unpleasant
shocks from some quarters thus far
and it seems only proper that the con.
dition of the state business should be
fully investigated and reported to the
IEeopie. This should be done that one
nf two results might be realized: first,
that il he shown that all is going well
| thereby putting an end to suspicion and
! doubt; second, that defects and misman-
agen ent be exposed and corrected.
A proper investigation would show
one of these two things, and the people

one thinks an Investigation should be

BEANS CAME FROM EUROPE.
Edible Native of South America-1so
Cultivated Varieties.

The bean that we eat in some form
nearly every day, that almost everybody
likes, is comparatively new as an edible.
Our common everyday bean is a native
OF South America and was introduced
into Europe. whence it came to this
country during the sixteenth century,
and now is represented by over $50 cul,
tivated varieties
The big, broad bean is the bean of
history and its origin is SO remote that
it is doubtful, 1t is probably native OF
Southwestern Asia and Northwestern
Europe. The broad, but not thick. lima
bean, called by some folks "buttei
beans, is pole variety that came from
South America.

hairy plants, are natives of China an6

stamped out polygamy in Utah and dis
franchised those who followed that prac-
tice. the act including those purposes be-
ing known to this day as the Edmunds
act; but almost equally important was
his service in assisting to draw up the So
called Sherman law dealing with the
great combinations of capital in the
United States. Moreover, Mr. Edmunds
served at one time as president pro tenn
pore OF the Senate and, in addition, was
twice a candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination, receiving "A
votes in the convention on one occasion
and 93 votes on the other occasion, in
spite of the handicap of being a resident
of one of the smallest and one of the
least important politically speakingl,
states in the union. Thus it win be seen
that Edmunds, while doing effective SER
vice for the nation, was shedding lustre
on his native state of Vermont. In
recognition for those services, the state
of Vermont should do something to honor
the memory of this famous son.

A Distinguished vermonter.
Barre T'imes.)

1t was fine record of craftsmanship
which George f. Edmunds left, as well
as great deal of beneficial results to
the nation; and he deserves to be classed
with the galaxy of the great statesmen
which the state of Vermont has given to
the nation. Starting as a country law
yer in Burlington, this sterling Vermont
son developed his capacities for legisla-
ton in the Vermont legislature, where he
served as speaker of the House and as
president of the Senate, and was soon
ready for the greater and higher service
in the Senate of the United States, where
he stood as one of the elder statesmen for
quarter of century. He was not only
a keen thinker but he was ever ready to
place his thoughts before his colleagues
and the name of Edmunds is stamped
deeply in the history of the nations de-
yelopment from 1866 to 1891 when he
retired from public life. Perhaps one o.
the most important acts of his career
was the fathering ,of-.the law which

New York World.

If America were at this juncture to
fail the world, what would come of it?"
asked President Wilson in his Boston
speech That is a question that neither
the most provincial nor the most reac-
tionary senator cam lightly dismiss. What
is to be considered is not merely the eff.
feet upon the rest of the world, but the
effect upon the United States.
The President stated an admitted fact
when he said that the United States to-
day is the hope of the world, and even
the most ardent opponent of league of
nations must face the consequences of
the Illustration of that hope American
moral influence is powerful because, as
the President put it, there is no ma
ton in FuroDe that suspects the motives
of the United States" But if the league
of nations is defeated by the senate, there
will be no nation in the world that I'M
derstands the motives of the United
States. There will be no nation that can
place any confidence in the professed mo-
tives of this country.
According to the estimates of the Unit
ed States treasury it will cost the Ameri-
can people about $1,000, 100000 a year for
the next % years to pay off the war debt
| Unless there is league of nations and
a new order of things, another $1,200,000,

MONDAY. MARCH 3, 1919.
TIME FOR REFLECTION.

President Wilson s determination not
to call an extra session of congress at
present has at least one benefit 1t will
give the American people time to think
upon the dangerous revolution their
government has been undergoing for the
past four years and perhaps call halt.
The extent to which the government has
departed from its proper functions is
alarming. Government should protect
the life and property of its citizens and
give each and all an equal chance in
life. 1t cannot safely undertake more
than this SO long as il confines itself
TO these objects it can serve all alike
When it passes these limits it begins to
play favorites, develops jealousy and
hostility and arrays more or less of
its supporters against it.
Congress has prohibited the eombina.
tions of capital in the form of trusts
! but has exempted labor and the farmers
from such prohibition. 1t has loaned
money to the farmers, granted the de,
mands for exhorbitant wages to the
railway brotherhoods; and is discussing
| the creation of work for the unem.
ployed. In other words it is leading a
large portion of its citizens to believe
it should support them instead of civ,
ing them an opportunity to support
| themselves
il Congressman Dies of Texas recently
gave warning that should be needed
by every citizen. He said:
You have taken the fairest and hes
government ever known among mel
and you making it into the mos
despieable socialism. You took th
American peonle at time when tine,
believed IN government, and yol
are teachir III hour by hour an,
day by day to expect hat their govern
ment shall support them Instead o
telling our magnificent army, when tn
boys are coming back from France an,
are being demobilized to 90 back t
their jobs and engage in their forme
industries, you are leading them to be
lieve that the government shall take
upon itself az duty to support them.
My friends, you are tearing down tn
greatest democracy, the world has eve
seen. and you are building up in ii
, stead the poorest fabric of SOCIALISM
that history can record.
Is it your intention to help the pee
pie? No. You viii not help the peopl
unless you tell them that the govern
ment has one duty to the citizen an
that it is to protect his life and proper
~ ard give him an equal and fair rae
in this world. And you are teaehin
him that the duty of the government
is to keep him. We are losing tn
greatest republic the world has eve
seen. Talk about International do
: mceracy! 1t is being swamped amids
nebulous phrases and unintelligible jal
gon. +.
If during the recess of congress il
members and the citizens of Amerie
consider carefully these warning truth
and decide that congress shall retur
to plans and methods of justice an
safety the enforced interim will be c
Unreasonable benefit to the country
