RAILROADS ANp FARMERs

1t may surprise many farmers to
know what the railroads are doing for
the uplift of farmers. An example is
that of the Delaware g. Hudson road,
which has for some years maintained
an agricultural department, with a spe-
cial view to developing the dairying
interest along its line. Perhaps a still
better example is the action of the
Frisco line, which has put up loading
dumps in the Ozark region to store the
manure from the Kansas City stock
yards, which formerly was dumped into
the Missouri river. The cars which
bring out the coal and other produce
of the region are used to transport the
manure to these dumps, which thereby
becomes available for the farmers use,
and which is reacting in increased pro-
duction and increased business for the
road. The Missouri Pacific is conduct
ing model live stock farm, and by
means of it is introducing superior
breeds of cattle, sheep and hogs. The
Central railroad of Georgia, along the
same line, is introducing and giving in
struction in the cultivation of bright
leaf tobacco. The Pere Marquette road
in Michigan operates development bu-
reau in twenty counties of that state,
Yet the unpleasant fact remains that
western farmers are unable to send
their 1919 crops to market because
there are not enough ears available
The railroads would help more than the
farmers living along their line of road
if they would put the cars on western
sidings to be loaded with 1919 corn
and wheat for which the farmers il
the East are paying exorbitant prices
If they would do this the suspicion that
the roads are in league with the mid
dIemen to make immense profits after
the crops leave the farms and before
they reach the consumer might give
way to greater confidence in the roads

James Wilson. former secretary of
agriculture of the United States, who
reaches the age of four score and fiye
today, has the distinction of having
served the longest term on record of
any cabinet official. On March 5, 1897,
he entered the first cabinet Of President
Mckinley and continued to serve
through the administrations of Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Taft, until March
5, 1918. After a life spent variously
as farmer, as teacher, as a state
and national legislator, and as a cabi
net officer, this native Scotehman and
great American is spending his deelin
ing years in the quiet of his home
farm in Iowa. During the Is years
that Mr. Wilson was at its head the
department Of agriculture grew and
prospered. Its growth and prosperity
were not, of course, due solely to him,
but his is The credit for far-sighted
leadership. His has been a long day, a
well-flled day, and a day which has
been a good one for the country of his
adoption.

Away in the Lead.
burlington Daily News.)

Adyices from various parts OF the state
indicate the nomination by the Republi
cans of Frederick III. Babbitt of Bellows
Falls for the goyernorship. Over in Gale
donna county, for instance, which is very
strong Emery territory we find the ST.
Johnsbury Republican concedng the fact
that if the primaries were TO be held now
Babbitt would be nominated for gov
ernor with Emery third and Hardness
last. From other parts of the state are
CLEANED opinions of like nature SO that
the trend of opinion is evidently set to
ward the Babbitt candidacy.
Despite the tremendous outpouring of
money which is startling the state and
which grows larger and larger with the
appearance of some new booklet the
Hartness candidacy has fallen fiat,
There is complete agreement as to that
in the other camps and it is seldom that
Hartness is picked for better than last
place Mr.. Hardness Is not a good cam-
paigner and does his candidacy no good
by his efforts on the stump.
Mr.. Emery's strength remains purely
sectional and in a large part of the state
his candidacy is not considered seriously.
1t is doubtful if his vote i'll the northern
counties will be large enough to make
him a serious contender.
Mr.. Agan's strength is problematical
We would be inclined to rate him as a
pretty good second at this time and we
seriously believe that were it not for his
mistake in making the liquor issue the
paramount one in campaign in which
the leaders Of both parties have elected
to ignore il completely his standing
would he still better

do not stop to question the relationship
of the governor of Vermont to a ma

Political Camoufage.
lRntland NeWs.l

The newspaper supporters OF FRANK
w, Agan and James Hardness, in des'
perate endeavor to put their guberna
torial candidates across, are trying &c
make it appear that the contest for the
Republican nomination rests between
between these two men. The reason i
obvious Agan's supporters believe II
they can turn support away from the
really strong opponents, Babbitt and
Emery, to the weakest of the trio, Hart
ness. that Mr.. Agan can walk in. Mr.
HARNESSES newspaper supporters are
irving in their turn to make the cham
pion pamphleteer's candidacy stand up
by crying that only Hartness can beat
Agan, which is, of course, ridiculous to
any one who has followed the political
trend.
Despite the unfair attacks made upon
him deeds speak louder than words; Mr..
Rabbits record in the legislature speaks
louder than 10000 of MIR. Hartness's ver-
bose and nebulous pamphlets.
With the late Clarke G. Fits of Brat
tleboro, who actually drew the BILL he
is virtually the co-author of the work
mems compensation law, the most con-
structive piece of labor legislation ever
placed upon the Vermont statute books.
He is the sole author of the true weights

by Edward Everett Hale.)
March! March March, from sunrise
till it's dark.
And let no mon straggle on the way!
March! March! March! as we follow
old John Stark,
For the old man needs us all today.
Load Loadl Loadl Three buckshot
and a ball,
With hymn tune for a wad to make
them stay!
But let no man dare to fire till he gives
the word to all
Let no man let the buckshot go astray.
Fire! Firel Fire! Fire all along the
line,
When we meet those bloody Hessions
in array
They shall have every grain from this
powder horn of mine,
Unless the towards turn and run
away.
Home! Home! Homes When the fight
Is fought and won.
To the home where the women watch
and pray,
To tell them how John Stark finished
what he had begun,
And to hear them thank our God for
the day.

A POSSIBLE BENEFIT.

It's an i'll wind that blows no good
now the same as it was when this wise
proverb was coined. The country is
shocked at the large amount of real
money Ponzi has been able to take
away from the small capitalists of to-
day. This money is sacrifice to the
delusion that exists regarding the ac-
quirement of wealth. Too many people
still believe it possible to accumulate
wealth without working for it. They
believe there is some wizardry about
making money and anyone posing as
the wizard can easily separate them
from the little money they have
Socialism and Communism are based
on the similar delusion that there is
wealth enough for all without creating
more wealth to replace that they would
consume. They are really Ponzi
schemes that would as effectively dis
sipate the wealth of the individual. The
fundamental error of the Ponzi victims
and the Socialists and Communists is
the idea that wealth is elf-procreating
that there is a transcendant power that
can create it and that no effort or la
Dor of man is necessary to create or
preserve it. There is no greater error
and if these deluded people learn that
there is no royal road to wealth and
luxury the result win be good Expe-
rience is a very dear school but most
people have to learn therein.

The Babbitt candidacy is going to be
a winner because Mr.. Babbitt has picked
up strength in every county, more in
some than in others but some every
