Of the tobacco warehouses
throughout the bright tobacco
belt cannot be too strongly COM
mended for their attitude Of CO.
operation in the organized mar
keting of tobacco. We learn that
many Of the warehouses which
have teen holding out are now
offering their plants to the CO.
operative organization and are
giving assurance Of their assis-
lance in the movement.
What a contrast with the at
titude taken by the cleaners Of
peanuts? The plants Of the
cleaners are just as necessary to
the success of the Peanut Ex-
change as the warehouses and re-
drying plants are to the tobacco
association; the one is coopera-
ting i'll the movement and the
other is fighting. There is am
pie room for both the cleaners
and the Exchange in the peanut
industry and if the cleaners will
not gracefully fall in line and
themselves help make success
of the undertaking as the ware
housemen are doing, it will sim
ply mean that the growers, of
whom there are about six thou
sand, members Of the Exchange,
will through the Exchange pro-
ceed to build cleaneries Of their
own which would and will result
IN the rulnatiOn Of the now exist
ing industry Of peanut cleaning
The cleaners may feel that they
cannot do this, but in this they
are sadly mistaken. They will
do it and they will make sue
cess Of it.
There may have been
. time when the farmers could
not be organized and made to
stick, but that time has passed
They are fully aroused and
have become wide awake as to
their interests and their finan-
clal freedom. They are going +,
fight for it and they are goine

The Only Safe Way.
81. Albans Messenger. J

81 Speaking of the recent reunion of the
legislature of 1917, The Burlington Free
Press says: "One man offered to- wager
that the next legislature would make
larger appropriations than any of its
predecessors, and he found no takers.
1t was the general concensus, however.
that public sentiment would insist upon
lower appropriations"
Public sentiment in its operation on
a Vermont legislature is q mighty I'M
certain factor. There are times. of
course, when public sentiment is felt at
Montpelier but to put confidence in
the thought that popular opinion will
be registered in the vote On any given
question is a delusion and a snare.
In the first place, public opinion is
generally anarticulate, does not let itself
be felt In an overpowering manner. Next
there is no real incentive for legislature
to follow public opinioLA if to do SO
does not meet its own sweet will. The
! public has no way of chastising repre-
sentatiyes or senator's who fiaunt public
opinion, because of the one-teTm policy
that exists. Comparatively few men
come UP for reelection, and it is only
when reelection Is sought that the vot
ers have the opportunity to show their
resentment.
Nor is there in Vermont any real
party responsibility. The Republicans
are so strong that the opposition is I'M
able to take advantage of whatever mis-
takes the Ems" may make. The legis-
lature of Vermont is, as things go
about as supreme legislative body as
is to be found anywhere in the wide
world. 1t is law unto itself and, by
reason of the one-term practice, is well
nigh unanswerable to any one.
So, to rely upon the operation of pub
lie opinion after the legislature has
been elected is to trust in a false hope
The time to act is in advance. 1t is
! possible for the public sentiment fo1
economy to express itself most eff
fectively in electing to the house and
the senate only those who have put
themselves on record as in favor of put
ting a stop to the ever mounting state
| expenses. Candidates, for the most
| part, can be made to declare themselves
and once committed publicly 1t will be
hard for them to escape their response
bility. Electing the right men is the
only safe way Leaving it to q subse
quent pressure of public opinion is un
safe.

A TEST For FATHERS.

How long could or would father carry
mothers job? It's a long disputed ques-
ton to which a New York paterfamilias
has added valuable data. He lasted
just five weeks in trying to care for the
children and the home while his wife
was in the hospital. Then he tried to
commit suicide. He explained that the
work and worry were too much for him.
1t may be that this fathers cares were
complicated by job outside, but to off
set that he probably neglected a good
deal of dressmaking, mending canning,
cleaning, cooking and laundry work
which his wife carried on as part of her
daily routine.
Whatever else he learned, he found out
that a mothers job is a real job, job
requiring physical strength, superhuman
patience, moral courage, initiative and
nervous energy. His experience should
make him respectful of his wife's labors,
more considerable and more helpful. II
is not to be hoped that every father will
be put to a similar test. Some of them
do not need it. But the experience
would be valuable in many families.

WEDNESDAY, july 10. 1922.
WAR LOANS AND TAXES.

There is talk of an easement in the
American tax burden when Great Brit
ain starts paying off her Indebtedness
to this country. The talk has been
stirred up by the fact that Britain is
mobilizing gold in New York to begin in
terest payments in the fall.
1t is pleasant to record the prospect
of such payments, but it is just as well
not to expect too much from that source
for a while yet, especially in tax reduc-
ton.
1t is not likely that Great Britain will
do more than meet the interest. present
and accrued, for the next two or three
years, at least. Payment of her princi-
pal, which amounts to about $4,000 OO.-
900, is still far in the future and win be
subject to vast amount of discussion
and negotiation before it is finally paid.
As for the other allied war debts to
this country, they may never be paid at
all. Whatever interest may be received
will be swallowed up without difficulty
in the capacious NAV of congressional
appropriations. And if the principal
were paid, congress would use it for the
army bonus.
Everybody will have to keep on pay
ing pretty heavy taxes for some years
to come, and might as well be reconciled
to that fact.

A man found a 75-millimetre shell
fired at the Pine Plains reservation last
summer. It was supposed to be dead
and was brought home for souvenir
and had been used as a door stop. No
one seems to be quite sure what exploded
it, but something did and eight children
were killed, the concrete house shattered
and windows broken for two blocks
around. Why not base all reasoning in
regard to explosives on the one premise !:
That every gun is loaded, that every
shell and cartridge is alive. If every
child could be brought up, even in the
firm belief that there is no such thing as
an unloaded gun standing in a corner or
an unloaded pistol lying in some drawer,
good many more people might live out
their share of life.
