EIGRNIONT'S WOES

The embattlcd maple sugar pro ducers of Vermont announce to the world that they face a bad season, and that prices of their product will go up. Five million trees have been tapped, but the weather has not been cooperating at all. If things continue the way they have begun there will be a distressing shortage Of Vermont maple sugar 10 go with fapiacks, buckwheat cakes and the other dainty dishes that are enhanced by this staple swectcnrr.
 The situation is bad in spite of the virtual disappearance of the old-time sap bucket and other back breaking equipment. Vermont has been modernized, or machin- ized, in it's great maple sap indus try. and pipe lines lead from the maple districts to the cvaporators. Vermont nowadays looks more like an oil field. with pipe lines by the thousand doing the work of trans portation. In fact, the romance is being entirely knocked out of the industry.
 The only thing machinery cannot control in Vermont, it appears, is the weather. This doesn't come in pipe lines.

AND THE ELECTION

Senator Hiram Bingham Is among those senators who will have to stand" for reelection this fall. He has been filling the unexpired term Of the late Senator BrandeGee and that time Is up this year,
 The Connecticut senator has been having quite a happy time in Wash ington, earning q reputation for erudite learning, especially in his facility to quote Latin phrases cor rectly. His attempt 10 inject Con necticut ideas" into the Senate, how ever, failed.
 Perhaps the senator, when he is nominated by the Republican con- vention this year and comes to write his platform, might do so in Latin.
 It not being a presidential year, Senator Bingham will have to stand on his own feet in the election and not have the pleasure of riding back into the Senate upon the coattails Of a presidential landslide. This al- ways is an inconvenience in the lives of senators and it makes for much harder slcd1ing. The Demo- crats of the state have an oppor- tunity to make it interesting and no doubt will avail themselves fully of the chance, provided they can re- frain from quarreling among them selves long enough to agree upon some strong senatorial aspirant, if any can be found. One notes that there are some ifs" in the political Armament; but Senator Bingham also has few Of these little things to contend with.
