The LEGISLATURE.
(St. Adams Messenger. }

NCI. AlDduS 1leSStIlStE.J
1t is difficult to make an appraisement
of the 1921 legislature because the quail
ity of it's work has been so uneven. The
senate was the ADLER of the two branches,
which is common with Vermont legisla-
lures, and the upper branch, being COM
pact body of working size, appears to
very good advantage when compared with
the house.
The house seemingly has followed no
set program! has not had a policy on
which it shaped its actions. For in
stance, at the start of the session il
passed salary increases; at the close it
tic of aimlessness was always to be de
tected.
The great majority of the house are
able and conscientious men but when
combined into body of DAT, they lose
much of the individual power-and it is
a real loss. 1t would not be correct to re-
fer to the house as a mob, but the fact re
mains that when one considers the lower
branch one has to have in mind some of
the elements of mob psychology.
For the simple truth is, the house is
too large in membership to be a working
body. 1t is in this fact that the reason
for most of its inconsistencies il to be
found The element of size would not
be such a factor in the general result if
the committees were more closely fol-
lowed in their recommendations, but at
Montpelier the committee does not oc-
cupy the commanding place that it does
at Washington, for instance. In a word,
the house is a town meeting, and consid-
ering all things it does good work. But
it's work would be greatly improved if
the membership were reduced but dis
cussion of this is wholly academic as it
is impossible to bring about any change.

The Massachusetts, Agricultural col
lege at Amherst, which is to celebrate
its semi centennial this week, owes
much OF its success i'll recent years to
its president, Kenyon l.. Butterfield,
who has long been recognized as one OF
the most successful administrators in
his field of education in the United
States. Or. Butterfeld is a native of
Michigan, and got his special education
for his profession in the State univer-
sity and state Agricultural college of
Michigan. From 1891 to 1893 he was
prominent in the Grange movement in
Michigan, and served his time as a
teacher in the institutions that had cd
ucated him. In 1903 he Joined the fac
ulty of the Rhode Island college of Ag,
ricuIture and three years later he ac-
cepted his present post at Amherst. In
mand for service on federal and state
commissions having to do with agricul-
tural and Countrywide problems.

DIR. Nathan Raw, president of the Tu-
berculosis society of Great Britain, be-
lieves that he has secured a vaccine
which will make people immune from tu-
berculosis, and also effect a cure where
the disease has gained hold. 1t will take
some time further to demonstrate the eff
fectiveness of this vaccine, but advance
experiments are thrilling in their encour-
agement. After II years of experiment,
DR.. Raw has become convinced that hu-
man and bovine tuberculosis are separ-
lievcs that one form confers immunity
ate and distinct infections, and firmly be-
from the other. He has proved to his
own satisfaction and that of others that
the two varieties of bacilli will not ex-
ist in the same body at the same time.
Acting upon this as a basis he has pre-
pared his vaccine. So, by slow stages,
science conquers disease. With the pre-
vention and cure of tuberculosis once
insured, it seems as if there could be no
physical enemy of man which must not
yield ere long.

Criticism of Governor Hardness is
legitimate, of course. The Reformer has
not hesitated to find fault with his ac-
tons, nor will it hesitate when ever it
believes such actions deserve further
criticism. Nothing can be gained, how
ever, by such ridicule as that which the
Rutland News publishes. Take the fol-
lowing paragraph for example:
The governor. natural leader of the
body, acted like a kind-faced goldfish
all dressed up but nowhere to swim. In
stead of placing smOkeStacks on every
hill he closed down his shops at Spring
field and threw hundreds out of work.
The fact that the state house is not
equipped with a sound-proof, Sub-cellar
suite where His Excellency could be pro-
tected from noise, and especially aggres-
Sive squirrels, cannot be taken as an ex-
cuse for his failure. Mr.. Hardness dressed
beautifully, threw an occasional inkwell.
and told many persons he was a great
man. Great accomplishments
