THE FIRST CENSUS.
Under authority of n recent net of
congroioi the director of tlic census will
puhlish this voiir tin ' of heads
of families accompanying infor-
matioti shown on such schedules of the
rciuua of 1710 as aro in exigence for
tho states of Vermont, New Uattip
shire ami Maryland. Kaeh part will be
a book of Mil pages, indexed, and ac
companied by a reproduction of a map
of tho state from an atlas of 17!hi. Not
enough money is available for the cen
sus bureau to publish all tho schedules
in existence during tho present year;
and additional authority will be re
quired to permit such publication in
future years. The threo states above
mentioned, were chosen because their
population was limited in number and
the records in good condition. Kach
part (the returns for each state) will
bo sold to tho public at $1 a copy and
may be obtained of the director of the
census at Washington. These records
will be of great genealogical interest
and of considerable historic value. in
the introduction, which is printed in
each volume, a brief outline of the
scope of and the methods of putting
into operation the first census in 17SI0
is given. The total population was near
ly four million, of whom about half a
million were heads of families. Bo
cause of the destruction of some of
the schedules only about 400,000 names
are available. The first census report
was a volume of 56 small pages and
did not contain the names of the orig
inals, which arc now published for the
first time. The population of Vermont
was 85,423, of whom 16 were classified
as "slaves." This was afterward
found to be an error, the 16 persons
having been returned in the original
as "free colored." Therefore, tho
record does not show that thcro were
ever any slaves in Vermont.
We confidently expect that the pub
lication of these books will result in
the organization, "immediately if not
sooner," as Josiah Allen's Wife said,
of a Society of the Sons and Daughters
of the Heads of Families of the First
Census. All those who think them
selves eligible should bo provided with
a copy.
The Burlington Free Fress urges the
appointment of a A7erinon'ter to the va
cancy on the bench caused by tho
death of Judgo William II. Townshend
of Xew Haven, Conn., of the second
circuit court. Wo should like to have
this appointment come to Vermont,
too, but we have no sympathy with the
feeling that a "longstanding wrong"
would thus be righted. Vermont is a
small state and a state of small towns;
there are few lawyers hero compared
to New York (thank Heaven!) and it
is not remarkable that Xew York
should have received the appointment
for the second district six times in six
ty years to three times for Connecticut
and none for Vermont. It is only fair
to Vermont, however, for Tresident
Roosevelt to look about and see if
there aro any judicial minds in this
state at tho disposal of the second cir
cuit court, before passing tho job out
to anotner Xew Yorker. If the ap
pointment is made on a purely political
basis, Vermont will stand no chance of
recognition.
Last week at Fitehburg, General
Charles W. Bartlett of Boston an
nounced without reservation or equiv
ocation that ho was and would con
tinue to be to the bitter end a candi
date for the democratic nomination
for governor of Massachusetts. His
attitude is anti-trust and for reciproc
ity and revision of the tariff. The sup
port that may be behind Gen. Bartlett
or the degree of favor in which he may
stand with those men in the party who
are popularly supposed to control it,
both seem to be doubtful. There is
one important point, however, about
which there is no moro doubt than
there is about the announcement of his
candidacy and that is that Gen. Bart
lett will make an almighty good gov
ernor of the Old Bay State if he gets
a chance.

of Harper's Weekly writes that the

that the correspondent personally be

The Center Congregational church
of New Haven. Conn., rejects the
plans for union of the Methodist.
I'uited Hrethren, and Congregational
churches. This will lead thoughtless
ones to remark the apparent opposi
tion to Christian unity. As a mutter
of fact, the New Haven church objects
entirely to the form of tho proposed
union, and not to its object. Those
who have given the question due con
sidornlioii, however much they may fa
vor unity of the denominations, admit
that the New Haven church is not
wrong.
Vp to the present time the greatest
disturbance about a third term for
1'resident KooseveJt has been made by
thoso whose capacity for statesman
ship is strictly limited to the amount
of noise they can make. The president
needs conviction on three points:
First, that he can be elected; second:
that no other fit man can be elected; !
and third, that he can best serve his j
country by going back on his word. !
Those who believe in him most have j
the least expectation that he will even!
consider a third term.

It is gratifying to Brattlcboro ship
pers to be able to believe not only
that tho Contra Vermont Railway
company is trying to improve the
freight service but also that it is real

willing to commend as to condemn.
The Xew York University law school
has just conferred degrees upon a class
of ninety-six young men and one girl,
and the girl stands at the head of the
class. This sort of thing is largely to
blame for the unpopularity of co-education
in our higher institutions of
learning. And no wonder!
With the backing of Governor Proc

holds, and his reputation for good

the voters of Vermont may not be
wise enough to elect him?

Must Speak Sooner or Later.
(Groton Times.)
Xo one questions the right of Lieut.
(iov. 1'routy to remain silent ou tho
question of'his candidacy for governor.
The Times does not see, however, any
cause for plaudits in his silence, or any
reason for ecstasy on tho part of tho
sponsors of his governorship boom.
There seems to be a well defined plan
on the part of corporation intluoneo
and administration politicians to get
his name before the people ns the can
didate and demand hiB recognition by
the voters. This view may bo wrong
but indications are strong that way. It'
this is so, it would be well for his
sponsors to bear in mind that the vot
ers in Vermont today are far different
ly inclined than they were a few years
ago. Then a demand for recognition
from those high intlie counsels of the
party meant spontaneous approval.
Now- a candidate must present good
and sufficient reasons for recognition,
hence, under existing conditions, it is
not only entirely proper but quite es
sentiul that a candidate should state
liw ut mill in it on the (luestion. His
sponsors may put Mr. 1'routy 's candi ;
dacy in cold storage, asserting "it'sj

An attempt on the part of the Jap
anese delegates to the Hague confer
ence to secure consideration for a
uronositiou to recognize as a tenet of
utes (the distance is about 3 miles)
and I think if 1 have good luck I can
cut that time down to an even hour.
I guess, too, my record to Spofford
lake will stand for a little while. I
went over there in 18 minutes." Rec
ords like these no doubt demonstrate
the worth of the automobile as a space
annihilator but they certainly do not
enhance the friendly feeling which
must exist between motorists and oth
er travelers on the highway if reason
able speed regulations are to bo maintained.

llaune. .Tanan. while reserving to
self the right to introduce special
subjects for consideration, qualified
this statement with the condition
that this should be done only after
"reasonable notice." It is believed
at Washington that it is now too late
for any such notice, in view of the
fact that all of the powers to be rep
resented at the conference have passed
upon the details of the program and
have suitably instructed their dele
gates. Another reason is that politi
cal topics were especially barred in the
invitation to the conference and as
this Japanese proposition would tend
to reopen questions supposed to have
been settled by the Portsmouth treaty,
and commenced using
them. They helped me troin tne nrst,
and in a short time the backache
ceased and I felt, better in every way.
There has not been the slightest return
of the trouble since that time and I
am glad to recommend so reliable a
remedy as Doan's Kidney Pills
proved to be in my case."

think it was her fault." The com
plainant then went on to state that in
his opinion the trouble with the local
telephone service was not duo to the
operators but to the policy of tho com
pany in keeping the force of the local
exchange at a minimum. This is cer
tainly a reasonable attitude. AH of
us are likely to blame the operator
when any delay in telephone service
occurs without stopping to think that
the trouble may be "higher up."
When the cut-over to the new exchange
is made and the common battery sys
tem goes into use it is to be hoped
that the powers that be in the tele
phone company will see that the op
erating force is largo enough to handle
the service promptly and efficiently.
