The new tariff law was just year old
Wednesday, and the New York World
celebrated the event by giving long list
of concerns that have raised wages un-
der it from 10 to 10 per cent, while the
same concerns in the first year after the
Mckinley act reduced wages 10 to 45 per
cent. The World also showed by quota
tions from The largest dealers that prices
of 900 articles in general use haye fall
en- some 80 per cent. as compared with
1912. Altogether it was a very etfec-
tive showing of facts whose significance
is going to be more generally appreciat-
ed in the next two or three years.-Brat-
tlebOro RefOrmer.
After the publication of the long list
referred to above, the editors of the New
York Press wrote the managers of each
of the different concerns quoted, and the
replies apparently expose one of the
most glaring attempts to bolster up the
Wilson's Gorman tariff, by lying, fraud
and Misrepresentation, that have yet
been inflicted upon the public. The
statistics were originally printed in the
New York Evening Post, also a Demo-
cratic sheet, and were revamped forpub.

never will be as long as the flood of for
elgn importations continue to crusl

m ,nts of the World-Post were as fraudu
lent on their face, as they were painfully

Press has performed valuable service
in exposing the fraudulence of these two
journals and adding new proof to thu

welt, the leader in the crusade against
the violations of these laws, is personally
opposed to the law, But as long as these
laws exist and he is a commissioner, he
intends to secure their enforcement, as is
his sworn duty, believing that the real
way to secure the repeal of all unpopular
laws is to rigidly enforce them. Accord
ing to the opponents of the present liquor
laws of Vermont, conditions in this State
are somewhat similar to those in New
York City. They say the laws here are
not upheld by public sentiment, and,
consequently, cannot be enforced, and
should at once be repealed. The truth
seems to be that the laws have, as yet,
had no trial; they have never been en-
forced to any extent. though having been
in existence for years. Now they amount
to more as a lever to eXtort blaCkmail in
the cities and larger towns than anytl Jag
else. This condition will probably exist
as the similar conditions existed in New
York-until some ROosevelts and some
Goffs appear in sufficiency in the State to
show Vermonters what they want, en-
forced prohibitory laws or enforced il
cense laws. New York City has shown
the way of dealing with the liquor inter
ests. 1t has done what was supposed to
be an impossibility. 1t has shown that
the question of the popularity or unpop-
ularity of a law can be laid aside in de-
termining whether it shall be allowed to
exist as means of blackmail, or whether
it shall be enforced and in it's enforce
ment making it possible for the people to
say whether they desire its continuance
or its repeal.

graph e Telephone Company. 1t was
busy all the time, but never so busy
as not to prove itself prompt, faithful
and reliable orderly.
1t was the first time that the telephone
was ever called into play in Boston as
the means of directing the movements
of big parade, and it proved an upqual-
flied success. A hundred mounted aides
could not have done the work of this
single line of wire, and the corps of Iuen
provided for the occasion.
Eight stations were established At
each station, which, by the way, was
located about halfway up some big tele-
graph pole, was placed an expert opera
tor. Nearby, on terra firma, was one of
the staff of the grand marshal If Gen.
Lawrence wanted to give an order, he
stated it to Col. Fry, who, in turn, de-
livered it to the nearest operator. In a
second it was received at each station.
AS the cOmmandery passed a given
point its message was announced by the
nearest operator. In this way Gen. Law
renee not only directed the movements
of the immense body of men under his
command, but kept himself thoroughly
informed of their whereabouts. ...
This experiment will probably call the
telephone into requisitiOn on large pa
rades in the future.
The service was presented to the
the knights by the telephone company,
which not only strung the necessary wire,
but detailed % of the best men to see
that everything went off without a hitch.

Ambassadors Eustis has made himself
obnoxious, and has been censured, hot
for his vigorously patriotic utteranceS,"
but because he failed to act as vigorous
ly and as promptly as he was expected
to, and because he failed to take advan-
tage of his opportunities to bring the
case of eX. Consul Waller to speedy ter
minatiOn.-MOntpelier Argus.
In case Eustis is recalled, such pos
sibility has been limited at, it will be
mighty hard thing to convince the Amer
lean people that it is not another attempt
on the part of the President to shift the
blame and the consequences of serious
blunder upon the shoulder of subordi-
nate. Waller has now been imprisoned
six months. The sum total of the at
tempts to secure his release has been to
obtain an interview with him by at.
tachees of the ambassadors office, and
table and chair for use in his prison
cell. Is Eustis' many months of lndif-
ference in direct disobedience of the Ad-
ministration's orders? Then why hasn't
he been recalled long since? Had he
been directed to demand Waller's re-
lease, after the refusal of the French
Government to produce the records of
the trial, or to have taken any other ac-
Give course in the matter, and refused to
have done so, he would have been re.
called long ere this. The recent recall
of Minister Haselton, of Burlington,
shows the promptness with which the
President can meet out punishment to
an offending minister. But, it was
scarcely more than month
ago that Mr.. Adee, the as.
sistant secretary of state, near friend of
the President, and in close touch with
him, declared that the Waller matter
was progressing satisfactorily. 1t is
such a convenience to make a scape
grace of subordinates, that the President
has before this found the temptation too
strong to resist.

What Vermont Papers Say on Ver-
mont Subjects.

Wouldn't it be we'll for our statesmen,
at the next session of the Legislature, to
abstain from monkeying with the pro-
hibitory law, the acts giving bOunties
for foxes and other noxious animals and
sundry laws that are in fair working
shape, and devote sufficient attention to
the devsing of law for the suppression
of weeds? The number of these pests is
steadily increasing all over the State. 1t
costs the farmers thousands of dollars a
year to destroy them. And the worst of
it is that careless neighbors are able to
nullify and do largely nullify, the work
of the men who try to get rid of the
weeds. The seeds of some weeds are
furnished with wings on which they fly
long distances; others break off their
stems in winter and are blown over the
snow covered fields. One poor farmer
can keep whole school district supplied
with weed seed. There is law which
oblgeS the railroads to cut and destroy
| the weeds along their roads once year,
and that is all the anti-weed legislation
upon the statute book. There ought to
| be a law compelling farmers not only to
cut down at the proper time all weeds
on their farms and along the roadsides
but also to burn them. Once in while
a farmer does cut the weeds. but few de
stroy them effectually. If the cutting il

in such case, would be in exactly the

freeing himself from the Herald's charges
by appealing to the Courts. with all the
added publicity that his actions had al
