1t is reported that the Vermont Bar
association will soon have to consider n
report from a committee recommending to
the supreme court the disbarment from
practice of former Governor Horace f.
Graham on account of his malfeasance in
office Mr.. Graham has appeared in court
as counsel a few times during the past
year. Some of his fellow attorneys APP
parently fear the communicating effect of
his association or for other reasons want
to visit the severest professional punish
ment possible upon him. 1t is question
for the court to determine. of course, but
people will have their own opinion not
withstanding. Ours is that Graham ought
to be let alone

A Neglected Mountain in Vermont.
Barre Times. }


Jay peak in the northern part of Yer
mont gets but Scant attention from the
public in comparison with Mansfield.
Camels Hump and perhaps Killington ::
but we have the information from the Bar
ton Monitor that the view from the sum
NIT of Jay is most impressive and beauti-
full. The mountain is the fourth highest in
the state. being 4.01S feet above sea level,
and 80 formed that'one is able to stand on
the pinnacle and merely by swinging the
body, to take in the view on all sides. One
can see Lake Champlain and the Adiron-
dackS on the west. the White Mountains
on the east the st. Lawrence river and
Lake Memphremagog to the north and "a
panarOma of the Green mountains eXcep-
tiOnally charming to the south. while
towns to the number of a dozen and
lakes and ponds a score in number can be
picked out. All this seems interesting
and serves as a lure for some future cx-
cursiOn. However. the Barton contem-
pOrary warns that the climb up the noun
tain is not a tenderfOOt trip" as auto
mobiles have to be left mile from the
foot of the mountain and it is two miles
up the side of the mountain. That warn
ing will only serve as an incentive to the
more hardy. Prepare to see Jay.

The Denver Post is urging the con-
struction by the government of two high
ways, one from New York to San Fran
cisco and the other from Canada to the
Gulf. The idea is to have them built
under the direction of army engineers.
And how could the country afford to
undertake such expensive projects at this
time? Well, the Post points out that
those roads. well routed and constructed
as solidly as any in the world, could be
built for the price of four modern bat
tIeShips The country seems to have
plenty of money for battleships. Or at
least. congress, like legislative bodies in
other countries, seems to think so. 1t
looks like choice between battleships
and roads.
The battleships will be obsolete in 10
or - years The roads says the Post,
will last forever The particular pave
ment that might be built now could not
last forever. but the route would, and
once done. the paving would be renewed
as occasion demanded. at a cost easily
taken care of by the added real estate
values along the way. The rise in those
same values would sooner or later pay
the original cost. too, in increased taxes.
The project just now would give en-
ployment to hundreds of thousands of
IDLE men and utilize large quantities of
building material, thus tiding over a hard
winter and stimulating business revival.
1t doesn't sound foolish at all.

the house of peers and head of the great
family which ruled Japan from the begin
ming of the seventeenth century down to
the restoration half century ago. But
for the restoration, Prince TOkugawa
would have been the ruler of Japan to-
day. He was born in 1863 and received
his education at Cambridge university,
England. Upon his return to Japan in
1884 he was created a prince, and six
years later was appointed to the house of
peers, which is equivalent to the house
If lords in the British parliament. Since
then his career has been devoted wholly
20 public service. The prince has trav-
eled extensively in Europe and America
and has the reputation of being very
Democratic.

In the past fifteen years we have

dollars annually. Sweet potatoes have
a great advantage over other vegeta-

are less perishable and can be mar

market for them does not have to be

Is for the producers here to learn how
to put sweet potatoes on the market

will do that-and they can do it if
they will they can sell all the po-

Sweet Potatoes as Money Crop.
The News and Courier.

The News and Courier.
1t is not easy for the average far
mer in South Carolina to believe that
sweet potatoes can be grown for mar
ket successfully and profitably. 1t is
not easy to persuade the average bus
iness man or banker in South Caro-
lima that the sweet potato can be
planted in this state as a money crop.
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1921-08-18

Nevertheless. We are confident that
both the farmers and the business
men Of South Carolina are going to be
converted to the possibilities Of grow
Ing sweet potatoes commercially and
We hope that this convrsion will be
fairly well advanced before many
more months pass.
The South Carolina DEVELOPMENT
Board, which IL taking the lead in
this matter, has secured in Mr.. H. e.
Horton as manager a man who has
studied the sweet potato problem
from every angle and who is able to
deal with it practically and convinc-
ingly. In his conference in Charleston
on Saturday with a number of farm
ers and business men On this subject
Mr.. Horton fully satisfied them that
he knew what he was about and he
satisfied them further that IL the
sweet potato is taken hold of in the
right way we have in 1t a crop which
will go a long way toward providing
the money-producer which is needed
on farms which in future can grow
cotton only on limited scale If at all.
Growing sweet potatoes is a sim
PIE enough matter; the problem is to
market them and 1t is to the task of
creating the machinery necessary for
this purpose that Mr.. Horton is de-
voting himself at present. We believe
that he vii. make success of it if
he is given proper support and If
he does the foundation Of a new in
