Let John Do It.
bennington Banner)


What the state supremacy needs now
is man who will help us to do things
in a manner that shall be new Vermont
way. Mr. Hartness has done this not
only in his own business, but also in con-
nection with every public service with
which he has been connected 1t IS reason
able and fair to assume he would do the
work of the governor in way very dit
ferent from that of his predecessors
Burlington Free Press.
Limited observation of Mr.. Hartness
methods as food administrator bears out
exactly what the Free Press says. As we
remember it he appointed John I. Cush-
ing of St Adams as his deputy and
Cushing did all that was humanity posi-
bic. If this is the new way that the Free
Press means and the way different from
other Vermont governors it is not alto
gether to be sneezed at We have known
men to select agents with far less
Judgment. We would, however, prefer
to know in advance. If Mr. HartnesS
will indicate clearly that as governor i
is his purpose to deputize Mr.. Gushing t
| look after the heavy work of the executive
office it will strengthen his canvass amons
those who know Gushing and do not fee
much acquainted with Mr. Hartness
| Vermont needs governor who knows
| Vermont, its needs and its possibilities. Nj
| Hartness is a great man IN his llne bu
many people who admire HIM also Tea
that he Is the least fitted of the tour can
didates in some of the essential qualitle
required in the executive Office.

by Frederick MacMonnies. To carry
out the project a fund of $250,000 is
required, and during this week an eff
fort is to be made to raise this fund
by popular subscription. Mr.. Mac
Monies, the designer of the statue, is
one of the foremost American sculp-
tors. He was a Brooklyn lad who was
trained by Saint Gaudens. and later
found his way both to Munich and
Paris, and, in 1856, won the highest
prize offered to foreigners for sculpture
shown at the Partisan exhibition of
that year. The next year he set up
his studio in Paris. His first work to at

Senator Page must have had bad
hour during the discussion OF the self
government for ireland reservation
which was adopted by the United
states senate on Thursday. After a
case of severe wobble, as we make it
out from the reports, the senator, on
the second ballot, east his vote IN ia
vor of the reservation. 1t would be IN
teresting to know what he would have
done if there had been third ballot
seeing that he voted against the prop
osition on the first ballot. 1t was
case where it was an absolute impossi.
bility to remain on the fence, so it must
have been a good idea to have tried
both sides.

10000 FARMERS
THREATEN STRIKE

Washington. Jan. p. y Decreased
farm production next year and a con-
sequent increase in the cost Of. living
due to dissatisfaction Of farmers was
predicted before the senate postoffice
committee today by James 1. tBlakes-
lee. fourth assistant postmaster ger
eral. More than 10000 answers to
100000 questionaires sent to farm
ers, he said, indicate a condition dis
quieting and portentious Of disastrous
consequences"
A report summarizing contents of
the farmers letters was read, by Mr..
Blakeslee. Declaring that the farmers
were tired Of receiving low returns
for long hard periods of toll while the
city dwellers lived in ''easy and COM
fort with high wages and short hours"
the report said that the replies re-
ceived indicated that hundreds Of
farmers had resolved either to quit
the farm entirely or greatly decrease
production.

EI'TER ROADS
Difference Between Burleigh
and Neighbor on North d
~" Emphasized 4

Washburn. Jan. 31.-The annual re-
port Of the superintendent Of high
ways for the year 1919, shows that
Mclean county has during the past
four years turnpikcd 9OS miles road.
During the season Of 1916, $50 miles
were turnpiked in 1917, $50 miles ;
in 1913. 2322 miles: and in 1919, LAG
miles. The total approximate cost of
turnpiking this amount of road
amount Of road amounted to $751;
O12.GG. or $S9.22 per mile: The de-
probation on machinery was estimated
at $500 per mile, making a total
$101.22 per mile. Besides the turn
Dikins most Of the streets in all tn,
different towns in the county were
graded, which cost is included in the
cost of turnpiking. This does not
include the cost Of engineering or cul-
yertS. @
During the year Of 1919. a total
Of $32,SS2.N was spent on road work
The funds for road work raised by
the county have been raised by a
mill road levy on all unorganized
townships, and a. special county road
levy of mills and bridge levy of
.92 mills on all townships. =
It will he seen by the new Mclean
county road map gotten out by Super.
intendent of Highways Robinson that
all main roads throughout the county
have been tlrnpikcd; every town in
the county. has from four to seven
roads leading from it into the sur:
rounding country; and nearly every
person within the county has turn
piked road not more than three miles
from his place, the majority being
within one or two miles Of a turn
piked road. o.. a..r r.
1t is hoped that the county will gel
the hearty cooperation Of all the
townships. towns and individuals in
keeping thees roads dragged and free
from weeds.
The road building program for the
year 1920 no doubt will be confined!
to the maintainance of roads already
turnpiked. with some additional grad
ing. and to construction Of the thirty
miles contemplated state road.
