clientage. This also will continue to be an
interesting and valuable feature
The outlay involved in the change now
made is large. 1t has comprised in fact. the
purchase of a complete new printing out
fit, including press of the most modern
construction, folding machine. type and
other material. The machinery and mate
rial heretofore in use was of the most ap-
proved kind, and all of it was nearly new.
What has been done, therefore. is to put in
duplicate office, with the plant which has
been used up to this week kept in reserve
or put to good service in The Phoenix job
printing office.
The investment has been made and the
additional work has been undertaken with
a cheerful confidence in the future, and in
just recognition of the support 50 generous
ly given the paper. More than this. this
step has been taken in fuflment of a we'll
considered promise made to our readers
that they should share in whatever pros
perity came to this paper, and that the
means at its disposal should be faithfully
used for their better service. The problem
of this office is not how many dollars can
be made and drawn out for outside use or
investment, but how the income can be so
increased and used as to build up The Phn.-
in every good way.
We do not for a moment suppose that a
limit of strength or usefulness has been
reached. The demand of the times con
stantly increases. and the newspaper or the
business man of today must live to meet
that demand. Whatever may prove to be-
the requirement Of this community in the
way OF newspaper service The PhuniN
will hold itself ready to meet it. with an
honorable record behind it. ANA a face al
ways toward the future.

The Turn OF the Tide.

Are We mistaken or does it appear TO others as
10 uH that Vermont is the gain: 1t is not a
spasmodc boom but awel grounded advance that
commands attention. And the evidence is not
more papable in the various home enterprises
that are sprinRing up than in a certain spirit of
energy and determination to push ahead that per
vades our state throughout. We are beginning to
measure properly our own resources North feld
Ners.
1t is our impression that all Vermont in
terests are taking a decided upward turn.
There has been at least one marked COM
pensating advantage resulting from the
southern booms which so many Vermonters
were led into taking hold of two years ago
and since. The collapse of those booms
has shown our people that all permanent
growth and prosperity must have legti-
mate basis to build upon, that riches can
not be made out of nothing, and that it is
slow and steady gains, with their compile
ment of hard work. energy and enterprise,
that brings final success. whether in the
South, the West or right here at home in
Vermont.

BurSted Bubbles,

Three of the short term benefit orders
have collapsed in Philadelphia. and the
newspapers of that city say that dozens of
Others are tottering to their fall. In the
three which have gone down there were 81
GOO members, to whom millions of dollars
are due, but who will never receive pen
ny of the proceeds. One of the concerns
owed -, 10000, with funds in hand of
only Sl30, COO, and another one owed So
100000 with only so, 900 in hand. The
officers of one of these concerns had
pocketed S75, 600, and Others in proportion.
In one case when the collapse came, and
the concern failed 10 pay the sums promised,
police protection had TO be summoned to
protect the officers from the angry mob of
members. The lapses which were expect
ed to furnish the chief source of profit did
not occur, and when assessments began to
be called for the certificate holders rebelled
and appealed to the courts. 1t will be in
teresting to see how long before the same
thing happens all over the country where
these orders have been established by the
hundred. The Philadelphia Times, COM
menting on the collapse of one of these
bubble concerns-the Earnest Workers"
sums up the gist of the whole matter
when it says:
This new form of speculation is bas a on the
essential condition that it shall go ON forever The
moment il stops everybody who has not already
got ont is left, The starters are sure TO bring in
enough members to give them their own hundreds,
bu. with all the Others it is simply question of
how long the money will keep coming in. They
know that somebody is going To be robbed, but
each one hopes To he among the robbers

4 Qncstion Of History.

VI. II. Jewett Of Swanton has an old historical
work. the title page and date of which are torn
out but from the reference in the text TO the CEN
sus of 1871 it is evident it published some time
between thar year and 1900. Bennington is called
the chief town in Vermont with a population of
240O. Windsor next with 1909; and reference is
made to Burlington as the seat of proposed col
-BurIiHgtoH Free Press
There is evidently an error somewhere.
According to the census Bennington was
never the chief town of Vermont In 1901
Guilford in this county was the largest
town in the state having population of
2432, while Bennington's population was
2377. In 1900 the figures were Guilford,
225d, Bennington, 2243. In 1910 and in
1920 Windsor was the largest town. and i'm
1880 Middltbury enjoyed that distinction.

Wrongly SaId.
From the Woodstock Standard

ioii liit "uNtiaNoth
The retirement of Senator Edmmds
throws upon Gov. Page great RESPONSE
bility and he has it in his power to do that
which will maintain in high degree the posi-
tion and influence that Vermont now holds
i'll the United States Senate. One name
will rise TO the lips of every citizen in this
emergency as eminently worthy a seat in
the Senate, and il is Redfed Proctor. AS
secretary of war Mr.. Proctor has acquired
fame wider than the country and his infu-
ence in the administration is perhaps second
only TO that of the President. He is known
and esteemed in Washington and would en-
ter the Senate ripe statesman and power
for good. No other man in Vermont could
contribute so much TO the fame of the
state. The governor will of course delib-
crate long and hear all that is to be said,
but to this he must come at last, in our
Judgment.

Gov. Page has recently received a letter
from Mr.. Mcdonald. the United States fish
commissioner at Washington, with regard
to the national fish hatchery which is to be
established i'm Vermont under the appro-
pration Of 5000 made by the last Con
gress. This appropriation, the commits
sioner says, will not be available until July
lst the beginning of the next fiscal year.
Shortly after that date he will visit Yer
mont and make careful investigation with
regard to the best place for the establish
ment of the hatchery. Whether it will be
desirable or practicable to combine the ma
tional hatchery with the state hatchery. for
which the Legislature of 1890 appropriated
$1,000, cannot be decided until the ground
is looked over. When these prcliminaries
have been decided the engineer of the com
mission will be sent on to survey the ground
and lay out the work in due form. In con-
cluding his letter Commissioner Mcdonald
says: Il desire to proceed slowly. cautious
ly and conservatively in the matter. and to
lay the foundation secure for such develop-
ment Of our work in your state as will be-.
hope. of great eventual value to it,.

The application by President Harrison
of the principles of civil service reform to
a part of the Indian service, and the pro-
posed application of the same principles to
the service of our navy yards, are matters
for hearty congratuation. 1t is long since
the somewhat dreary waste of American
politics has offered anything so encourag-
ing as this. just as the advance of civil
service reform seemed checked, and we
were fearing a retrogression, it suddenly
shows itself at the points where it was
most needed.
