that the SO states, in which Legis-
latures have been in session since
January /, have appropriated. nearly
$4,000, 900 for this purpose, and nearly
SITS, 900 as emergency appropriations.
Secretary Wallace also stresses the
need of an emergency" appropriation
to carry on the work of slaughter to
the end of the fiscal year. This term
emergency" is a misnomer. 1t should
be deficiency" The department OF
agriculture finds that the veterinaries
of the country have evidently decided
to make "killing" before the cattle
owners of the country rebel against
such a campaign as has been engi-
neered from Washington, wipes out
dairying interests.
A bulletin from Washington says
that Secretary Wallace says:
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, at
the urgent request of members Of Con-
gress and others interested in the
livestock industry, has asked that an
emergency fund amounting to $405,.
900 be included in the deficiency bill
of the present Congress, to be used in
the payment of indemnities for tuber-
culosis cattle. It is estimated by the
bureau of animal industry that this
amount win be necessary to carry on
the slaughtering of tuberculosis cattle
until June 80, the end of the present
fiscal year.
Who are these members of congress
that are making urgent requests" for
such an appropriation Are they
representatives of districts in the
large cities or of districts where cattle
are raised, where milk is produced?

Revise the Stacker List.
(St. Adams MESSENGERS

The name of a man who entered
the army as private and worked
his way up through the non-com-
missioned and commissioned grades
to the rank of Northumberland has
just been published in the Stacker
list" issued from Fort Sheridan and
as result of this error three Chicago
newspapers have announced that they
will publish no more Of the names
until greater accuracy has been Sc
cured.
The purpose behind the publication
of the names of those who defaulted
in their duty to their country in time
of war was most commendable one.
The slackers should be made to
bear the odium Of their act, and pub
lefty is the most effective way to
bring down upon their heads the
shame Of which they are deserving.
But men who served honorably and
even with such distinction that they
received decorations for gallantry in
action are being included among the
slackers. The result is that when
one reads Stacker list one has little
confidence in it. The war depart
ment should withdraw the lists and
should go to the time and trouble
to revise them. Else the whole af-
fair will be fasco.

@ensv approximation of S405,000 to
pay indemnities for cattle ordered
Destroyed following a test to deter
mine whether such animals have
bovine tuberculosis. The department
says, "there are more reactors than
year aro" Secretary Wallace is
due to discover that there are going
to be a number of thousand more
"reactors" about the time the state
legislatures meet two years hence
then thnre are today, but they will be
of the human kind.
The reaction against such whole
sale slaughtering of cattle as is being
carried on will be manifested in a
way that the federal department of
agriculture will not misunderstood
There is raw Of hope for tho cattle
owner in the statement from Wash

been necessary to discontinue testine

The Springfield Reporter is so ner-
vous as to ego off half-cocked." The
mention of S. B. Bates name for lieut.
tenant governor drew immediate at
tention from the Springfield contem-
porary as witnessed by clipping
from the Reporter printed elsewhere
in this paper. The Springfield paper
says that it is not Uncomfortable"
that G. S. Emery may be a candidate
for governor two years hence with
S. B. Bates looking for second place
on the ticket. The Springfield con-
temporary must be so nervous as to
forget that both men come from the
same side, of the state. Another thing
that the Springfield paper cannot
fathom is that Orleans County papers
do not always consult those men
whom they may mention. The men
ton of Mr.. Bates name was made
without his knowledge or consent and
at the suggestion of a prominent
west side" man. If we were to
guess the guess would be. that Meth
er the name of Bates or Emery would
appear on the primary tickets OF
Vermont 18 months hence We ad-
wise the Springfield editor to calm
down.

Springfield Unnecessarily Nervous
(Springfield Reporter) ,

At last the painful sensitiveness Of
the Orleans county press in regard to
Stoddard B. Bates and his fearful and
wonderful road-mak;ng is satisfac-
torily explained. Time will always
tell what is the matter in the most
mysterious cases of ardent champion
ship, and in this particular case the
PERIOD OF watchful waiting was re-
markedly brief. The Newport Ex-
press and Standard revealed the milk
in the cocoanut in it's last issue by
launching the candidacy for the Hon.
orable SUod. for the lieutenant gov
preciates such early mentioning
and the exposing, of tender boomlet
to the danger of nipping frost in
the southeast section of the state.
There are indications in other Sec
tons, too, that the fragile thing
might better have been kept under
cover a little longer until it were
more hardy and the political weather
signs pointed to "fair and warmer"
Now it is plainly to be seen why the
Express and Standard and the Or
leans County Monitor-two papers
under the same management-and the
Standard of Enosburg Falls-a sheet
whose main line of policy is to OBJ
pose anything favored by the ST. AL
bans Messenger-are all barking up
the same tree in an effort to bring
down campaign expenditures, growl-
ng meanwhile about inequality be-
tween candidate, ne poor mans
handicap, apron trlent of out-of-
state men to Office and the rest Of
hat kind on more senses than
one-cheap bunk. The announce
ment of TIE ex-highway commits
sioner's ambition being confined to
second place on the ticket, instead
of first, it is not inconceivable that
Colonel Emery is of the William J.
Bryan stripe of candidate-one who
"may be down but never out" Will
Emery and Bates be the pair the state
is to draw to couple of years from
now?

Save the Last 5 100000

Five millions of China's starving
are still untouched by relief from any
source. They will remain untouched
unless new relief, not at present in
sight, is brought to them. In plain
language 100000 people, equivalent
to five per cent. of the population OF
this country, as many people as live
in the entire city Of New York, are
doomed to starve, and many, perhaps
most of them die, unless they are
aided from outside sources.
This is the sum and substance of
recent statement by Thomas w.
Lamont, chairman Of the American
committee for China Famine Fund.
Mr.. Lamont points out that the Chin
csc government and people have done
their best to look after their own,
foreign countries have given assist
ance commensurate with their ability.
and America has sent, all told, to the
famine area a sum Of approximately
$5,000,000. Yet for every dollar that
America has so far sent, there is a
man, woman or child in North China
still starving, desperately attempt
ing to stave off death by devouring
| the bark of trees, leaves, thistles,
even the earth itself Those who
have received help so far, according
to the American Committee for China
Famine Fund, are assured of a bare
| subsistence, (the baroness Of it can
be imagined from the fact that the
calcuiatlon is made on the basis of
three cents a day per person) until
the next harvest in June; but there
remains ga 100000" for whom no
provision can be made by relief funds
at present available.
The situation presents challenge
to the humane instincts of the Amer
lean people. Only lack Of magma
ton could explain failure to re-
spond to such challenge. If, in
stead of attempting to visualize the
parched and barren plains of north
ern China, we tried to conceive what
it would mean if some CHASTITY calam-
ity were to wipe out the population
of the greatest city of the world, we
should get more intimate realiza-
ton of the horror of the present
tragedy.

A hallowed mantle of the Gran

A hallowed mantle of the Grand
Army of the Republic falls upon the
young shoulders of the American Le-

Blue uniformed, with medals upon
his breast, the white haired veteran
of the Civil war made the memorial
day round of the schoolhouses in
former years. This year it is the Lee
gion members who will visit the school
houses in many communities, telling
of a different conflict but teaching
the same lessons. In st. Paul, Mimi,

The death of G. R. Crosby of Brat
tleboro by his own hand, is tragedy
indeed. In Brattleboro Mr.. Crosby
was known as "plunger." He un-
doubtedly made $1,OOO,OOO during the
war years as a wholesale grain deal
er, and lost it all. Then followed a
mental insanity which caused. his
physical destruction. Mr.. Crosby
was yet a young man and his life and
death point several examples, most
conspicuous of which is the apparent
place money held in his life. 1t must
have occupied so prominent and so
important a place in his life as to
leave nothing for him when the mon
ey was gone. In other words, money
had become "frst" in his life-his
idol.

(Springfeld Reporter)

The Windsor Journal exemplifies
the old adage that misery loves COM
pany" by an exaggerated statement
on it's front page to the effect that
the Jones & Lamson machine shop
closed it's doors Wednesday of. last
week for an indefinite period, thus
throwing four or five hundred men
out of employment. The truth OF
the matter is that, whereas Windsor's
shops practically shut down last fall
the Jones & Lamson company carried
500 men through the winter and now
as late as this in the spring, has lei
$50 go while still continuing to keeI
the rest of the force at work three
days a week. It is hoped that bust.
ness Will commence to revive before

PRESS CLIPPINGS
A Splendid Spirit Behind the Gift
Rutland News)

(Rutland News)
The possibilities back of the late
Joseph Battell's gift of 5000 acres OF
forest land to the Federal Govern
ment are greater than the magnlfl-
cent donation itself.
Vermont thus far has Jagged fan
behind her sister states in taking
measures to preserve what may DC
her greatest natural resource. The
timber denuded hills and mountains
Of the state attest this fact all toe
plainly.
While 5000 acres is not an espe
cially large tract it at least provides
an example in conservation OF natura
resources which may be develoDet
into broad, comprehensive policy OF
the part of the State of Vermont.
