THE ASSASSINATION OF
CARRANZA.

Although Venustiano Carranza, presi-
dent of the republic of Mexico, was
dictatorial, irascibe and, apparently
misguided, there is no proof that Next
co will be better off with him dead
than it was when he was alive. Car
rama ruled with stern hand as far as
his strength permitted him and he held
the part of Mexico with Mexico City as
its center in quite firm control for a
period of approximately five years. But
as Carranza came into power on wave
of unrest, so he, too, became victim
Of unrest; and during the greater part
of his regime he was compelled to make
war on and resist revolutionary bands,
including that of Villa, the bandit lead
er. Continually it was a fight for Car
rama to hold his own against the dis.
satisfaction of the subjects of Mexico
and although Carranza was chosen
president of the republic in 1917 by the
largest popular vote even recorded in
that country he sank into disrepute in
the northern section of the country and
then over practically the entire nation.
What influenza Carranza's antagonistic
attitude toward the United States may
have had in undermining his support is
not certain. 1t would be unwise, per-
haps, to assert that that attitude had
any strong bearing on the final chapter
of his romantic career, inasmuch as
the general feeting in Mexico is said
To be somewhat hostile 20 the United
States.
II goes without saying, however, that
Carranzas brazen effrontery to the
United States in the face of the fact
that the government at Washington
had seen fit to recognize in him the de
facto government of Mexico went far
toward making Carranza a man held IN
little esteem throughout the world. He
was looked upon as a man OF no great
principles as regards international NOR
atty; he was considered as a man who
would cast his lot wherever it seemed
most feasible for him so to do. For long
time during the war it was suspected
that he was in sympathy with Ger
many if not flagrantly planning with
Germany to defeat the United States
and the allies. The revelation Of the
Zimmerman note, while not explicitly
showing that Carranza was plotting
against the United States, gave rise to
the belief that he was not above such
activity and led the world as whole
TO regard him as a national leader not
TO be trusted. Carranza was not friend
ly to the United States; his success.
sor may not be any more so. In that
respect the change will not tend to the
benefit of the United States govern
ment. which has had constant worry
ever since Carranza has been in con-
troll. anv more than the death OF Car
rama may prove to be advantageous
to Mexico itself Mexico deserves a
chance to make good among the ma
tions. but il will not be able to do so II

why Not Druggists Licensesa

The Randolph Herald and News re-
Gently called attention to conditions in
Vermont under the federal prohibitory
amendment in which it is impossible to
secure liquor prescribed by a physician
for sick person. That liquor is not
legally obtainable in Vermont for any
purpose is fact. But it is not because
Of the law. Ii Is because Vermont
druggists refuse to take out licenses
under the law to furnish intoxicating
liquors for medicinal purposes.
The real situation is this: Many
towns at the March meetings voted to
grant the issuance of druggists Ii
censes, making it possible for many
Vermont druggists to get a state Il
cense. The federal law provides for Ii
censing druggists to sell liquor for
medicinal purposes and specifically
states under what restrictions. IL ~
evident then Vermont druggists can
furnish liquor for medicinal purposes II
they are willing TO comply with the
requirements of law.
Further light on the rights Of drug
gists is given in an opinion given to
1 the Massachusetts board of registra-
ton in pharmacy by Attorney General
Allen of that state, who holds that the
word concurrent" in the federal pro-
hibition amendment permits the state
and nation TO pass such enforcement
Flaws as each legislative authority may
deem proper and enables each to en-
force its own law. He closes his opin-
ion with this statement:
II am, therefore, of opinion that the
so-called VoIstead act does not nullity
the provisions of our state law in re-
gard to druggists licenses. But a state
license does not in any way relieve
druggists from the necessity of proeur-
ing in addition license under the fed
eral law. A state license only author.
ICES the sale of liquor for medicinal
purposes insofar as the law of this
commonwealth is concerned. The drug
eist must in addition comply with the
f. federal law. This point should be made
absolutely clear to those to whom such
| licenses are issued
This opinion seems as good Tor Yer.
mont as for Massachusetts,. In view OF
the fact that many towns have voted
to grant druggists licenses the ques-
ton why do not Vermont druggists
take out the necessary licenses and fur
nish liquors for medicinal purposes be

CURRENT COMMENT
Wrong Tactics Against Emery.

Little question for this week: Is
Emery bone dry when he speaks in
Waterbury and damp when he talks ia
the Italians in Barrel - Mortified
News,
The above is fair sample of the
way Babbitt papers are slamming Mr..
Emery.
Did you like it?
The salesman who runs down firm
he is in competition with is called, "a
poor drummer" His firm, if it keeps
him, is one to avoid doing business
with, unless you want ito get stung.
III this kind of tactics does not pay
in business, it will not pay in politics,
Why is Mr.. Rabbit better man
than Mr.. Emery, for governor?
His papers do not say, but resort to
personal innuendo like the above.
Why?
The natural inference is they know
Mr. Emery is the best man.
Mr. Emery has lived a clear, consist
ent life. He treats all alike, uses
them as he would like to be used.
Never drinking man, he has al
ways respected the rights and opin-
ions of those who did not think as he
did, on this and other questions.
He has straddled no question.
He has never tried to get Office by
appealing to some popular idea.
He has won friends, and some of
fees, because he has always been ION
the square
That is why in Orange county in
Newport and where he is best known
everybody is for Emery.
They know him.
He is one of the people; a plain
farmers boy; made his way in the
world by his own efforts; knows what
people want; and as governor, will dc
his best to see that all the people get
square deal. -Morrisville Messenger

To Survey Arkansas


 Little Rock One of the most important ann ouncements made since the discovery of oil in Ark ansas, is that Dr. John C. Bran ner of California, former state geologist of Arkansas. will make a thorough survey of the state for the purpose of determining it's possibilities for the develop ment of oil and gas.
 In communication addressed to Commissioner of Agriculture, Jim G. Ferguson, June IF, 1920, specifiing ten subjects demanding attention in the development of the states resovrces. Dr. Bran- ner places that report or petro- lum and natural gas as second on the list, He was appointed state geolosist of Arkansas by Gov ernor Hughes thirty two years ago, and during the next six years made surveys at the ex- pense to the state of S1O0, GOO, producing eighteen volumns of reports which have been conser- vatively estimated worth millions of dollars to the state.
 The prospect of again securing the distinguished services of Dr.. Branner is due in large part to the enterprise of Governor |Charles H, Brough who called upon him in San Francisco dur ing the recent National Oemocra- tic Convention. It had long been the ardent hope of all citizens of Arkansas that some means might be found whereby Dr. Branner could be iduced to return and complete the survey which he was compelled to abandon in 1892 on account of the failure of the legislature tc appropriate funds to defray the expenses of the work.
 Dr. Branner assured Governor Brough that he is much interest ed in the state of Arkansas and it's possibilities. and intimatel that'he would be willing to foregC several attractive offers which he now has under consideration, some of them being from foreign governmental and consider g reasonable offer to make an oil. gas and mineral survey of Ark anSas.
 Upon his return to Little Rock, Governor Brough conferred with Fulk and Riffel, prominent oi operators of Little Rock. anG urged them to enter into negot- iations with Dr. Branner. A g result of correspondence cover ing several weeks, they received a telegram last making specific

Some RusseIIviIIe JottIngs

tiiS Juu SiuS VI oSSu NOi e%AAA before I begin, Il will say that none of you have to believe in the things 1 say to do proper judging but you must set a similar stand ard. The standard 1 refer to has to do not with the selection in the field but with the judging of the corn after 1t is selected. It is my purpose to show too why these standards are chosen.
 One of the first things an ear must have to grade perfect and one of the absolutely necessary things is good maturity. This is shown by the way the ear is filled out. It will also show in the maturity of the cobb. A kernel that is not filled out properly is not strong enough to produce a good stalk letting alone the idea of the ear which is the thing the farmer is working for. So a well filled up ear is the most desira ble quality of all when all are taken sinQiy. IL is only one of the ne ccessary preliminary qualifications to the show ring. So the first re- quirement in judging corn is that the ear be we'll matured.
 The next in importance and probably third in selecting for seed but absolutely ne ccessary to the successful working of either good judging of proper selection of seed is that the ear be properly filed out both at butt and tip. The reasons why this is so inn portant in judging are that it shows vitality: and that it shows a tendency for a large percentage of corn to the ear as compared to the cob, these simple stat ements should be easily understood by all of the readers and should consti- tute all the argument needed on this point.
 Next in importance and pro- bably second in importance when selecting for seed in percentage of grain to cob. Under this head three things should be avoided namely: much space between the rows either at top or next to the cob; and thia pinched tips or thick wide grains which will be too shallow. The shape and size of the grains can be controlled very largely by seed selection and should be kept medium. Either extreme is likely to cause the corn to lose it's vitality or it's high yielding qualities. The whole question of grading after all hing es itself on what the corn might produce if it was planted. So to summarize these statements into a rule to go by in judging corn 1 will give the following including of course those things that are self evident and therefore un- questioned. Corn to be entered must be, true to type, fully ma tured; reasonably well filled butt and tip, plump wi Il matured kernels must supply a good pro- portion of the weight of the ear. To score very high all these points must be well developed and in addition the kernels must be full and mustlflll all the space on the cob and leave no air be- tween the grain and cob. 1 will say right here that according to the standards of judging corn very few ears would grade over 60 percent if scale was followed closely but it is not always so followed. However the judges give the same allowances to all so it is still fair. l will attempt to give no judging scale as there are several and though the differ ence in slight it exists. Suffice it to know that on these principles arc axhibitn iudpad. Now thare

proposition. Necessarily. Dr. Brannen s services come high ana Fuik and Riffel have set themselves the task of raising edeq ate funds. by enlisting the co.opotado0 of individuals and cooperations who are interested in the development of Arkansas oil and mineral resources. They expect to have little difficulty in perfecting arrangements. Dr. Branncr intimates that hls services will be available within two weeks. So that it seems pro. babIe he can enter upon the sur. vey within the near future.
 There Is promise, therefore, that the long expected oil boom ir Arkansas will notbe much furt h. e delayed. It is the conseneus oi opinion of experts that some Where in Arkansas there is ar abundance Of oil and 1t is univer. sally recognized that Dr.. Brsn. her is the man best qualified tc l cate it. It is said that every important mineral development in the state has confirmed his early reports. including the world famed hauXite fields near Little Rock which furnishes 60% of the aluminium products of the world, Dr.. Brannar also pointed out the possibIeties of the diamond fields of southwest Ark ansas, which S10,000, 1000 com. pany is now engaged in develop. ing.
 G,o'ogist inform US that all of Lo@;s.2nna and that part of Arkansas south of the Arkansas River and the mountains. has the same general structure as the American coastal plain, of which it form apart and in which some of the world s greatest oil fields have been developed. The geo. logic conditions have been pro- nouncel by all experts 10 be favorable for oil and gas wher. ever structureal conditions exist to catch and hold these products.
