The Barton Monitor says Abe Foote
might not shine at a tea party along
side of Jim Hardness or Percy Glenn
ent, but he might make a good gov
ernor. You bet he would.
F. d. Thompson of Barton has an
nounced his candidacy for town rep
resentative. He is one of the leading
lawyers in Orleans county and a thor
ough-going progressive.
S. B. Bates of Derby has formally
announced his candidacy for the State
Senate from Orleans county. He
gives no platform, but pledges him
self to carry out the desires of his
constituency, if elected.
A. G. Chase of Greensboro has an
nounced his candidacy for assistant
Judge in Orleans county. He points
with pride to his record as tax collect
or of his town for 20 years, in which
period there has not been an uncol-
lected tax in that town. This is in
deed a record. Once this becomes
generally known he will have all the
work he can do. More than a hun
dred towns are looking for that kind
of a collector, and are not fussy
about the salary, if the taxes are col
lected.

Macintosh and Publicity.
(Hindley in Rutland Herald


The humping off of Mcintosh, high
way engineer, was another violent
shock. Just another case of Bates
and Matte Price and hiring Brooks
in the face and eyes of the Senate's
refusal to confirm, as hear it.
y The governor had no fault to find
with Mac-couldn't have, as matter
of fact-understand he praised him to
the skies, but just naturally handed
him the blue envelope and declined
to entertain an appeal.
Didn't coordinate, or predicate or
peregrinate just right, suppose, so
zoosh! off goes his head.
Item: Harry Black and staff are
all up in the air on publicity.
Dunno just what the governors
notions are about it, but since the dis
NAL foo-asco of the Hartness book
he doesn't seem to have any special
plans for publicity.
He has the appropriation; he had
his opportunity, but apparently is
not prepared to go ahead with any
thing else-and of course he has the
last say; the plans must be approved
by him.
did hear that Walter Crockett was
going to get out an apple book-or
bulletin-but further than that de-
ponent sayeth not.
No Summer Homes" book; no
abandoned farm" book; no scenic
books; no advertising for summer
tourists or folks to buy farms-that's
the way it stands at present-and
about $4,000 to be turned back into
the state treasury.
Well, of course it's better not to
spend money than to spend it foolish
ly, but the results of last years adj
vertising were good enough to war
rant keeping it up.
/ don't know that it is a proper
function of government to boom YER
mont's summer business, but evident
ly the legislature thought so and set
aside the money for that purpose.
1t seems rather like a dog-in-thel
manger attitude if the executive real
ly holds out and refuses to o. K. any
publicity unless he writes it himself

Quebec New State in Our Union.
fSt. Albans Messenper1

Representative Peter G.. Ten Eyck
of Albany has introduced in Congress
a resolution which aims at the acqui-
sition by the United States of the Ca
madam territory situated between the
present international boundary line
and the southern bank of the ST. Law
renee river. The resolution requests
the president to begin negotions with
Great Britain and Canada and ito
use his best endeavors to have pay
ments due the United States ON the
British debt credited on the purchase
price of the territory SO acquired"
And Representative Ten Eyck says
that he is most serious in his effort.
If the boundary of the United
States is pushed northward, the plan
is to have the new strip first made
into territory and later incorporated
into the Union as state. Vermont
ers cannot help being interested in
the propo al because, if successful, it
would change our relative position
immensely. Now we are a frontier
state making contact with foreign
people, condition which Talcott Will
iams has declared to have kept the
fires of patriotism burning brighter
in this commonwealth than in most
others. If this new territory should
be added we would become an interior
state with a buffer between us and
the outsider.
But can it ever come to pass? Is
it anything but a fantastic plan? Is
it even desirable if possible? There
is no question that the territory might
eventually be moulded into one of the
richest states in the Union. The pos.
sibilities along that line are immense
and would grow with the develop
ment of the ST. Lawrence water pow
er proposition. Economically the
proposition may be sound, if all we
are looking for is added material
riches.
But we cannot limit ourselves to
such desires. We have not lived our
life out as a nation economically. We
have not developed ourselves to the
point where we must look for new
fields. We have. as a matter of cold
fact, merely scratched the surface of
the possibilities in our own land. OPP
portunity abounds for Americans to
expand and grow economically within
the present confines of the nation.
There are objections to the propo-
sition from the American standpoint |
which more than offset any advan-
tages which might accrue. Quebec
has its internal problems which we
ought not to want to assume when we
have SO many problems of our own
which will require all our time and |
attention in solving without novel adj
ditiOnal ones being added. We would |
not be taking in an Anglo Saxon con-
stituency; we would be taking people |
that the Anglo-Saxons to the north
have not been able to assimilate. For
the most part they are a people who
have stuck >sturdily to their old ira
ditions and who have parted with slit-
tie of their distinguishing character
istic during the many decades since |
English rule superseded French rule |
in Canada. There is no reason to
believe the condition would be altered
if thew were to pass under American
sovereignty.
Yet. a discussion of the proposition
is more academic than otherwise.
There is not one chance in thousand
that ANYTHING will come of it. The
resolution never will pass the Con-

Derby is to have cooperative
creamery. Another evidence that the
farmers are coming into their own

ties of cooperation. Products of the
farm which might be comparatively
cared for to better advantage than
now, besides dairy products, are po-
tatoes and maple sugar. Possibly
there are others.

When Royalty Hunts Tigers

Question-Is Prince of Wales in

Answer-No. Royal hunters are
mounted on the backs of specially
trained elephants, we'll out of harms

Latter fire only if royal guest fails
to bring down game or if tiger be-
comes attacker, which is seldom.
Some weeks before hunt is due the
"shikaree" or game keeper prepares
a goat or other animal with opium
in 1t and places it on spot where it
IS desired that his highness shall bag
his game. This continues until tiger,
knowing that his meat supply is GER
tain, no longer troubles to kill for
himself and becomes so stupid from
drug that there is no danger in
shooting him. His coat becomes
sleek and shiny. On appointed day
there is little likelihood of hitch;
an extra dose of opium is put in
tigers food and he generally falls
an easy victim of royal rifle. He
has no chance to escape; hundreds
of heaters close in about him anC
drive him up to the waiting ele
plants where the high parsonage car
blaze away until his prey falls. The
death is hailed with loud shouts
