that is a feature of the landscape as
well as the trees. until you pass Chevy
Chase. and the last brick feeler of the
big city octupus is left behind. Once
aboard the Kensington Railway and the
conditions change. Trees brush their
fragrant leaves in at the windows. and
lazy humble bees float about the car.
Steady, Quiet Growth.
This peacefulness is not the result of
stagnation. It Is characteristic of the
steady. quiet growth of one of the
strongest movements Washington has
seen for many years. Expansion is one
of the laws of all life. and like the laws
of nature act slowly Contractors and
builders are now at work on three frame
houses. and they will be occupied not by
tenants. but by their owners. Sixteen
trains-eight each way-of the Baltimore
and Ohio Road pass Kensington daily,
making eight deliveries of mail at the
railroad station. The town is in direct
communication with Washington by tel
ephone, telegraph. and express, and has
between five and six miles of brick side
walk.
An Important Distributing Point.
Kensington is more OF distributing
point for the countryside than a busi-
ness town. STILL there are three gro
ceries a tin shop. coal yard, a drug
store. a hardware store. and printing
Office within its limits. and DR.. Eugene
Jones, DR.. William ]. Lewis. and Con-
tractor J. B. Stubs have Offices on the
main street.
The population numbers about four
hundred 1t is for the greater part
in the Offices of the Government, and
the larger stores of Washington, who
find the little place haven of rest af-
ter the heat and burden OF the city day
This accounts for the fact that Ken
sington is not a buster town. The en-
terprises there are sufficient to supply
the everyday needs OF the population,
and there is not enough demand for
anything over and above that to war
rant the setting up of other stores.
Distance an Advantage.
Kensington's distance from Washing
ton is not considered a drawback, but
rather an advantage. Scenery is a great
broadener of the point of view. The
trip from the city of an evening makes
the clerk enjoy his rest the more that
night, and the trip down in the morn
ing shows him that there is something
more IN the world than balancing books

Puerile Stiffness of Misguided Zealot
Montpelier Journal.

Brattleboro voted for license by a
majority of 173, and according to The
Phoenix this result was in part due
to the act of some ill-advised temper
ance crank who adopted a ridiculous
but not uncommon method to promote
antl-lcense sentiment Says The
Phoenix:
THE roorback of the campaign in
Brattleboro came in the comic valen-
tines sent by some one whose zeal for
temperance ran away with his iudg-
ment They were mailed in large
numbers TO the young men. but they
were such overdrawn pictures that
they aroused disgust and made votes
for the license cause. They were the
regular rum Romanism and rebellion
type of argument"
From first to last arguments of this
sort have played prominent part in
the downfall of prohibition in Yer
mont. The Phoenix does not state
and perhaps does not know. who was
the perpetrator of this silly act but it
is safe to guess that the individual
who did it was entirely out of touch
with his fellow beings. Such non
sense as this is conspicuously out of
place in an enlightened and practi-
cal age and nothing but harm can come
from it. Sound common sense is
usually a good enough argument in
any crisis, and. although at times a
touch of sentiment may season and
strength argument, such puerile silli-
ness as that mentioned above never
does, and never will, accomplish any
thing except the opposite from what
was intended.

A Revolution in the Glass Industry.


Finally come machines for blowing
glass, and the promised consequence
is a revolution in the American glass
industry. The American window
glass company. otherwise known as
the window glass trust, has given
notice to employees of an intention to
close all of its factories on the 14th
for the season, and during the shut
down its plants will be equipped with
the new machines. which will be CON
trolled by the officers of the trust.
through a corporation just being char
tered in New Jersey. One machine.
+ is said, will do the work of three
men. and as glass-blowers are the
most highly paid of any manual labor
ers in the country, the saving from the
machines is TO be enormous.
When the trust factories are started
up again, hundreds of present employ
es will find themselves out of work
There is likely to follow a slashing of
prices in window glass also. for the
trust has been hard pressed of late by
the Independent manufacturers, and
will now come back at the latter with
some force through the employment
of this iabor-saVing device Spring
