Vermont marble has come of with
flying colOrs at the Paris exposition.
The triumph of Yankee manufactures
in European markets has become an old
story. TO beat Italy in her marbles is
new. The next step for Vermont TO do,
now that she has demonstrated that her
marble resources rival the classic quar-
ries of the old world. is to encourage
native artists to develop a more pro-
nounced school of American sculpture
and marble design. Rutland is looking
for new industries. We need them and
we are bound to get them in time. We
do not have much trouble in obtaining
votes to relieve cOncers of taxation pro.
posing to establish manufacturing plants
here. There is no reason why we
should not go step farther and lay the
foundation for a school of sculpture and
decoration here. We have AT our door
the choicest statuary marble and many
varieties of decorative marble. With
raw material at nand, it ought not to be
difficult to develop the artistic power to
work it up into objects of beauty and
usefulness.

II is imDOs sible not to feel some diSap-
pointment at the wearisOme length of
the war, which is being Indefinitely pro-
tracted. Day follows day and still the
collapse Of the enemy prophesied weeks
and even months ago Is deferred. Our
great army remains in the field enduring
all the hardships of active service and so
far from being able to spare troops which
may be urgently needed at any moment
in another quarter of the world, it stands
in need of constant reinfOrcements to
supply the losses caused by epidemics of
typhoid, dysentery and pneumonia,
which are ravaging our camps. Nor Is
this the only cause Of human wastage.
The casualties in pitched battles are now
reduced to very small figures. but the
era of "untoward incidents" and of ire
gretable occurrence" is not yet over.
II illustrates the very precarious hold we
have on the TTansvaal outside the main
line of communication. The hurghers
are reported active south of Johannes
burg, showing themselves not more than
eight miles from Pretoria itself. The
war Is now concentrated in the territories
of the Transvaal. To produce this result
it has taken ten months of fighting ard
has caused the loss through death,
wounds, sickness and captivity of some
10000 British soldiers. The worst symp-
tom Of all is the fact that the diseases
which accompany armies are fastening
on our devoted regiments, so that Lord
Roberts's great host becomes weaker by
some 5000 men for every month it keep.

Western Roads Will Meet Great
Northern's Cuts

From present indications passenger
rates between Chicago and the Pacific
coast viii be very low during the win
the cut in rates inaugurated last week
by the Great Northern road may be con-
fined to s'hOmeseekers' excursions,
which will be run every Tuesday, but
there is more than a probability that the
rate-cutting will continue until every
class of traffic is affected.
Practically nothing was accomplished
by the general passenger agents of the
Chicago-St. Paul lines at their confer
ence Sunday in St. Paul with represen-
tatives of the Great Northern, Northern
sthomeseekers' rates" The Great North
rates direct from Chicago to which op-
position was made by the lines terni-
mating here.
A general meeting of the Western
Passenger association was held Monday.
and the situation was discussed, but no
specific action was taken. The general
opinion was that the same rates would
be made via Ogden to the Northwest a s
the Great Northern makes. This will
reduce the passenger rates from here to
Denver, and all points beyond there, to
persons buying "homeSeekerS' y tickets,
and travelling on the days fixed for those
excursions To prevent scalping of the
return tickets the plan of using rebate
proved satisfactory under similar cir
cumstances.
The outlook is for a general rate war
which will result in the restoration of
commissions to ticket agents and a har-
vest for the scalpers.

Directors and officers of the Rock
Island will be in Topeka the latter part
OF the week. They left Chicago in a spe-
cial train Tuesday to make an inspec-
ton tour of all the.lines. They are going
first to Texas and afterward to Colo
RADIO.
The officials will find much to interest
them. Extensive improvements of all
kinds have been made on the system
during the last year Grades have been
reduced, curves eliminated, wooden
bridges replaced with stone and steel
structures, new and handsome stations
erected at many places. and thousands
of tons of heavy steel rails put down.
Large additions have also been made to
the rolling stock, OF engines, freight and
passenger cars. The Rock Island is
now asking bids for twenty new COM
pound locomotives to be used in the
freight and passenger service. It is not
more than a few months ago that the
Rock Island purchased twenty two To-
coTnotives.
Large gains are being made in both
freight and passenger earnings. The
officials viii see the company's property
in fine condition throughout than which
it has never been better.
