Germany and Austria, like England are
becoming alarmed over the industrial in
vasion of the Americans. EngliShmen
have suggested trusts as remedy, but
no trusts are being formed. The British
trust is a small affair, a monopoly in its
section, but not far reaching in its scope,
and Englishmen lack the courage or abil.
ity to extend it. Germany and Austria
have not got to the point of considering
concrete remedies Germany has tried
tariff discrimination but has not found it
exactly satisfactorily Montpelier Argus.
President Roosevelt is going to write
his first message to congress without the
assistance Of his cabinet, and is going to
cut it short. This will meet with popu-

publican remarks, las the country has
grown bigger the messages have grown
longer until reading one in a single day
has become the accomplishment only of
our most gigantic intellects. - Bellows

E. L. Taylor offers to cut, fit for the
stove and deiverfve loads OF wood from
his wood lot to the pastors Of the FIVE
churches in town if well-to-do citizens Of
the town will give an equal amount to
the five most needy families in town, or
to those whom he will designate. This
would give about 80 cords of wood to
those who will appreciate it, and those
contributing will never miss the time or
money so SPENT Manchester Journal.

1t is worth while noting that summer
visitors to Vermont have, in many in
stances, remained unusually late this
year. They are fortunate who have seen

A farmer who isn't staggering under
heavy mortgage is far more independent
than the average merchant or profes-
sional man. Some day the farmers in
the back towns of Vermont will by
means of electric roads be brought in
close communication with centers OF
trade and better markets for the pro-
ducts they raise will be opened. 1fyou

One hundred and ninety.six deer have
been shot in Vermont. How many are
there left? Not enough, probably, so
that hunters will find them yer plenti
full next year. 1t would certainly be wise
to enact law at the next session of the
legislature establishing a continuous
close season for at least two years. 1t is
foolish to permanently ruin the sport
when it has just begun Barre Tele

1t is said that our Indian policy will
see radical changes under the Roosevelt
administration. The tendency will be to
remove all influences which tend to pau
perize the Indians. Rations will be cut
off, and the money will be used instead

renewed effort to do away with the
tribal relations. President Roosevelt's
acquaintance with the far west and the
native Indian life has enabled him to
form independent ideas on this subject
