A Friend of Ericsson

John Dean Benton, machinist in
ventor and bosom friend of John
Ericsson, died in East Providence
Saturday morning, October Is. He
was born in Fort Independence, Bos-
ton, 68 years ago, his father Major
Benton, being commandant. He was
in the war; Rheumatism deformed
his hands and feet, so that he could
not follow his trade of jeweler. He
set to work making models, and in
all turned out 125 different working
automata of the nickle-in-the-slot
order.
He made the silver model of the
Corliss engine which was on exhibi-
ton at the centennial in 1871, and
also that of Independence hall,
which is now in Washington. He
made six or seven models of ships
in gold and silver for Gen. Morgan
OIL New Orh, anu GnoTo are SreaG
many models about the country
from which he derived a large in
come. Benton was ordered by Fri
csson's friends to build model of
the monitor in gold and silver to be
presented to Ericsson. When he
tried to present it to the Swedish
commodore, he met with cold re-
ception. The music-box within the
model the began to play the famili-
ar air of Ericsson's fatherland, when
the scientist burst into tears. A firm
friendship resulted from this little
incident.

The Railroads.

The biennial report of the Board
of Railroad Commissioners mas been
it's $50 pages contain an immense
amount of valuable and interesting
matter. There are in the state
about 95313 miles of main line ana
19O miles of side tracks. During the
two wears ending July |, 1890, there
were 1873 casualties, of which ~ re-
suited fatally, five OF the killed and
ii of the injured having been pass
;noers. The fatalities to trespassers,
that is to person wrongfully walking
on the track or stealing rides on the
trains, in the years amounted to o9'
and the injured 12. The Board has
made a very thorough examlnatlon
in the case of every accident, ano
the report contains the findings IN al
cases. The figures show that for the
current year the net income OF the
Passumpsic was $264, 1926, while th'
Lake roads expenses were create
than it's income by s36,76l. Th'
Growth in business on the Lake roa(
is strikingly shown by its frelgh
business, which sprang from tota
of 363, 1928 tons in 1889 to 54l'zo
in 1890.

Mr.. Blaine spoke at South Bend,
Ind, one day last week to as many
eager and enthusiastic people as
could assemble within the sound of
his voice. The tariff was the subject
of his brief address, but he de-
voted himself to general principles,
not to details. The speech is a char
acteristically clear and logical expo
sition of the benefits of protection
and its ally, reciprocity. 1t is to
the credit of republicans, truly, that
it did not take the party long to de-
eide that reciprocity was a good
thing, and to act upon that decision.
This furnishes a striking illustration
of Mr.. Blaine's remark at another
point that all the great advance move
ments of the country have been made
by republicans.

Woman Suffrage.

We are in receipt Of very earnest,
not quite to say frantic, letter from
one of the active woman suffragists
of the state. The appeal ends up as
follows: sWill not our brave watch
men, the editors, speak out for us, in
tones not to be misunderstood L
pray you help these women, just
now %
Really, we have almost come to
the condition into which the "unjust
Judge" fell when he gave his consent,
not particularly because he felt it
right to do so, but ''lest by your con-
tinual coming you weary me-"
These women who are in so pitia-
bic condition are a few in different
parts of the state, who from their
own convictions, or from extraneOus
influences, have been so wrought upon
as to have desire, perhaps long
ing desire, to get the ballot into their
hands. Now, personally, we have not
the slightest objection to this, and
whenever we have had opportunity
by vote, voice or pen have done what
we could to help them. But we have
been of those, who, admitting the
moral and legal weight of woman's
ballot, have nevertheless expected to
see little practical benefit, all things
considered, derived from it. 1t may
seem a strange statement, but we
deem it true that many things that
are theoretically right are practical
ly useless. Such statements as these,
we are we'll aware will arouse every
woman who is a suffragist, but we
hold to telling the truth, nevertheless.
There is no need of arguing the ques-
ton on it's merits. The subject is
threadbare. We think the question
of right is very largely conceded to
women by those who have considered
it, but the question of expediency is
much mooted. We have voted for
bill to give the women of Vermont
municipal suffrage because we consid-
cred that the right was on this side,
and we favor a law of that sort on
the same grounds now. If right, it
will do to let the results prove wheth-
er OF not it is expedient.
Gentlemen of the Vermont legisla-
ture, if you could but feel as the ed
itor feels on the question you would
go straight ahead and pass this bill,
relieving these suffering women of
further anxiety on the subject; Yes;
give them the bill "Emancipate'
them, clothe them with the power and
the right of the ballot, and let things
flicker generally. They ought to
vote where their property interests
will vote on the side of moralty'
temperance and right. Vermont mas
taken advance ground on most impor-
tant questions, and let her not get
too far in the rear on the woman SUI
frage question. Other states and ter
ritories have already fallen into the
line, and let our good state deal just
" with the few OF the many OF our
women citizens who ask this right
and favor.

The newly appointed Cheyenne
commission, of which that bright and
nopular Vermonter, B. B. Smalley,
is q member, has a somewhat delicate
task. 1t is to negotiate with the
Tongue River Cheyennes of Montana
and with the Pine Ridge band sof the
same tribe in South Dakota for re-
moval to some other reservation.
This purpose is aided by the desire
of these two bands to come together,
and their knowledge that the reserva-
ton at Tongue River, where they have
often expressed wish to be, Is no'
large enough for both bands. Hence
the proposition for removal with
view to consolidation ought not to oe
received unfavorably. There IS al
element of difficulty, however, owlns
to the fact that this tribe IS the on
which has lately been possessed Will

The endorsement given to the
school law by the teachers of the
state in their annual convention is
worthy of thoughtful attention from
the legislature. The teachers are
better qualified than others to judge
of the practical working of the law,
much of the opposition of which re-
suits from utter ignorance of its pro-
visions. The passage of the measure
to equalize taxation for school pur-
poses will remedy the most noticeable
evil in the working of the law, and
beyond that it should be given fair
trial, which it has not yet had. The
best judgment of the state is on the
side of the law. Those who denounce
it most vigorously as a rule know
least about CdledOnidn.

The report of the railroad commits
sioners, just out, is especially inter-
esting in those paragraphs in which
passenger and freight rates are dis
cussed. The report says: "The
board entertains the hope that some
of the limitations and restrictions
now attached to mileage tickets may
be eliminated, thereby encouraging
and securing a still freer use of them.
And it also entertains the hope that
all of the railroad companies will see
their way clear at an early day to
make such reductions in local pass
enger rates as to remove this alleged
inequality" These hopes are shared
by the customers of the roads, espec-
ially those who are unable through
limited pecuniary means to purchase
mileage tickets of the present size.
The adyisability of the state regulat-
ing these rates should, however, be
seriously considered. 1t is quite like
ly that railroads would find their in
creased patronage an ample compens-
ton for reduction of rates. The
same is true regarding freight rates.
The board believes that the local
freight business has to pay a heavy
as remedy it is suggesreu Gnae Tue
board be given authority to make
schedules. The suggestion IS peril
nent. and it should be acted upon at
this session. 1t is clearly OF the
greatest Importance to the business
future eff the state that some restraint
of this kind be put on the roads. The
commissioners should have more au-
thority Wdtchnadn.
