GREENE'S POTASH VOTE

Congressman Greene is brought
under the guns by the national Farm
Bureau organization for his vote in
favor of putting potash on the pro-
tected list in the new tariff law. One
tangible result of this systematic
misrepresentation of Greene as an
enemy of the farmer was the adop-
ton of resolutions by the Lamoille
County Farm Bureau setting forth
that his election to the United State
Senate is not favored.
Mr.. Greene was given the oppor-
tunity to explain his position on the
potash schedule before the Franklin
County Farm Bureau in session at
st. Adams last week. From the eX-
pressions the writer has heard, he is
led to believe Mr.. Greene presented
his case in convincing and salts
factory manner. 1t really is a
simple situation, when one goes to
the meat of it.
1t might surprise some in the La
noble county organization if they
knew the whole story, instead of only
one side. They might. as good hon
est citizens, wish to revise their vote
of censure, perhaps to rest it on
those who did not tell the whole
story.
The Messenger is not over inter-
ested in the internal political play in
Congress on potash as described by
Mr.. Greene, other than that it re-
grasp at appearances without know
ing what the moves on the checker
board mean.
Seemingly the Democratic trick of
linking dyes and potash together
worked almost to perfection for the
Farm Bureaus national organiza-
ton fell for it good and hard.
ffhe Democrats are smiling, little
wonder.
The nub of the situation is this:
Mr.. Greene says he voted for a small
duty on potash, which would be taken
off entirely at the end of three years
because it was a Republican principle
and he represented a Republican
state which has, election after cleo
tion ever since the Republican party
was founded, given its endorsement
to this principle.
And yet, Mr.. Greene is taken to
task severely for his plain and highly
correct application of the Republican
protective tariff principle, which has
been SO consistently endorsed in this
state for over half a century.
He voted to give the farmers pro-
lection on the things the farmer
raises and sells.

What Happened to Writers

We admire the courage of James
E. Kennedy, Democratic candidate
for congress from the first district,
who opposes Frederick G. Fleetwood,
the Republican nominee, who frankly
announces that he is for an amend
ment to the United States constitu-
ton which shall allow the manufac-
ture and sale of light wines and
beers. In other words he would be
termed a wet" candidate, while
Fleetwood must be termed as "dry"
candidate Kennedy probably does
not remember how poorly Writers of
st. Johnsbury Jared two years ago on
"wet" platform against Dale, who
has always been frankly and openly
staunch "dry" man. Writers Jared
worse than his Democratic associates
while Dale appeared to have led his
Republican associates. Notwith-
standing the somewhat discouraging
situation with reference to bootleg
cling the United States has gone out
of the liquor business for good and
for all, and we predict vote in the
first district which will convince Mr..
Kennedy that as a political issue the
wet" issue is a dead one.-Barton

Faith In Vermont
Mt. Mansfield Developments Leads
Herald to Want KillingtOn Doomed

A news item from Stowe gives the
following interesting information:
&C. A. Riley, who has been the pop
ular and successful manager Of the
Mount Mansfield Hotel, for three
seasons, closed house for the season
Monday and with his family is oc-
cupying the P. A. Raymond house on
Main street. Mr. Riley will have
employment during the winter at
Brisbin's drug store at Waterbury.
There were 2,400 guests entertained
at the hotel during the summer,
most Of them coming after July l.,
as June was too wet for mountain
sightseeing. 1t is safe to say the
guests came from nearly every state
in the Union as well as from Japan,
Australia and England. The COM
pletion of the $4,000 road to the
summit made the mountain a pOpu-
lar place as approximately 500 cars
have climbed to the top without diff
ficulty. The business has increased
from 1, 400 guests in 1920 and 2016
in 1921. Several carpenters are now
employed at the hotel making many
improvements for the next Season,
the lumber was easily transported to
the top by the hotel company's
truck"
Apart from the thrifty little touch
brought out by the plans of the man
ager of the Mount Mansfield hotel
for the winter, there is a lot of
thought-food in the foregoing.
Senator Max L. Powell had faith to
take over this improbable hotel, sit
uated at the top of Vermonts highest
mountain according to unofficial
surveys), and has not only built an
automobile road from the public
highway to the summit but is making
over the building, adding rooms and
preparing for more business.
This enterprise meant spending
about sixty thousand dollars on four
miles of road cut in the face of the
mountain, hauling road machines up
the steep grades, improving curves
and slopes, widening bad places, in
stalling water stations for cooling
cars and surfacing the entire road.
1t was a piece of admirable and
courageous investment and already
the results are in sight-increased
business, favorable publicity and the
most encouraging prospects for an
other year.
What has been done for Mansfield
could be done for Killington and
probably at much less expense. Tho

make Ellington attractions better

courageous and far sighted men have
done for Mansfield could be done foI

Women Voters-CIean Homes

We question very much if Jim
Kennedy will do very much toward
upsetting the Eighteenth Amendment
or making the Volstead Act take a
back seat. Running for Congress
this side of the mountain on any such
platform as Mr.. Kennedy advocates,
would in our Judgment be pretty slim
picking. The man front Essex juno
ton will not progress far enough in
this campaign to even make it inter

Republican party

lection and the Republican party
gave it to him.
First; because it belives that the
Vermont farmer is Republican and
believes in protection and that when
he understands the whole, Of sit
uation, such as this, he will approve
instead Of disapprove when the pro-
tective principle is applied in such an
open and honest manner as was the
case with potash.
Second; because it does not believe
the Vermont farmer is so selfishly in
consistent as to take the attitude
that he wants protection on the
things he produces and then turns
around and demands what other pro-
duce be on the free list open to for
eign competition. Anyhow, as a
matter of practical politics, he can't
have it this way.
1t must either be protection or free
trade all around.
Third; it believes the Farm Bureau
in this instance is not truly repre-
sentative either of the interests or
the intent of the Vermont farmer,
but is leading him astray and is put
ting his interests in Jeopardy.
Fourth; it believes the Vermont
farmer wants to consume American
potash instead of German, wants to
keep his money circulating in this
country instead of sending it to Ger
many and does not want to be at the
mercy of any foreign monopoly.
Fifth; because it does not believe
the Vermont farmer is a free trader
or wants to have his state represent
ed by Democrats.
Sixth; because it holds the Ver-
mont farmer in too high esteem to
believe that he will condemn a man
for one vote, despite general aver
age of meritorious service, even if
that vote were wrong, which is not
the case in the present instance.

The farmers of Vermont neither

it was being asked for them or in

the farm bureau lobby failing for"

absolutely right in voting as he did.
