A pocket knife with open blade was
the material evidence that Policeman
]. L. Nelson produced to substantiate
the charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons which he had filed against John
McCarty.
In his own defense McCarty told
Judge Mogan that while attending
Jockeys ball on the Barbary Coast last
Monday night he aroused the jealousy
and violent antagonism of "a tough
looking tout, and that fearing attack
he had opened his pocket knife with
out drawing it from concealment in or
der to protect himself If the odds of
combat should be against him. But as
he was not counting conflict he left the
scene OF reve,ry and was proceeding
quietly to his home when the police
man overhauled him.
The explanation was good enough to
obtain dismissal of the case.
Robert Weeden got three months for
robbery, and would have got more if,
as Judge Mogan explained it, ''his
quickress Of hand had not deceived the
eye"
In the possession of Mr.. Weeden,
when he was arrested on complaint OF
Robert Price, was found a watch and
chain which the complainant identified
as his property and which, hes stated,
had been abstracted from his person
as he slept in a chair in a Barbary
Coast saloon. Weeden did not dispute
Prices claim of ownership. but pleaded
that lie had found the watch and chain

WASHINGTON CoUNTY's FINE
SHOWING.


Again the notifying truth is forced up
on us that Vermont Is not showing that
numerical advancement which was hoped
for. The statistics just prepared by the
assistant secretary Of state and printed in
yesterdays issue are not satisfying to
those who have been watching for those
signs Of progress which shall signify that
the state is cutting loose from the chains
which have held it. This refers particu-
larry to the voting population Of the state
At two dollars head the polls this year
figure up SITS, 2s6, as against SITS, rs one
year ago, showing that while there were
50, $50 taxable polls In 1902 there are now
81 ,e43, adecrease Of 1,I16. Nor is this
all Two years ago there were ss,422
taxable polls which was 770 more than
this year In two years, instead Of show
ing gain as was to be expected there has
been actually falling off. The number
Of polls is, in way, means Of determine
ing the increase or decrease of population,
and on the basis Of the comparison itmust
be concluded that Vermont's population,
instead Of going ahead as 1t should, is lit
tie more than holding its own If, indeed,
it is doing that. This decrease in polls
may be partially accounted for in the ex-
emption Of old soldiers but that does not
tell the whole story
But il there has been loss in the num-
Der Of polls, there Is a brighter side to the
report. II is that The real estate Of Yer
mont has materially increased in valuation,
and although the personal property ap-
praisal has fallen off little, the increase
in the former has been enough to more
than balance 50 that the list for the state
taxes fer 1908 Is considerably larger than
ever. The valuation of land for the pres
ent sear Is Sl25,s50, POS, an increase Of
over i've millions. This is distinct gain
and It means ola and unihabited farms re-
claimed and other lands improved.
It Is in the figures Of Washington coun-
ty, however, that the most satisfaction is
gained Here there is no falling off IN
the number Of polls, Instead there is a
gain o. nearly 800, and had the other
thirteen counties done as well in proper
tion to their Size Vermont's figures would
not show that backward trend Only two
other counties showed any gain In real
estate valuation Washington county is re.
sponsble for nearly one million dollars
gain, while in the total list for state taxes,
there is an increase in like proportion.
So it win be seen that Washington county
furnishes very nearly one-fourth 81 the In
crease which Is given to the whole state,
indeed oreditable record. 1t Is safe to
say that the gain in this county is due al
most in its entirety to the Industry which
has made Barre famous and there win be
few to dispute the assertion that to Barre
belongs a major share Of the credit.

AN OPEN VERSUS A CLOSED MAR
NET

We hope naval stores producers will
not be misled by the argument that
closed market is better for them than
an open one. In the closed market
there is no competition whatever, and
the products of the operators are sold
at the prices which prevail in the open
market. But if buyers are drawn
away from the open market by the
producers sending their products to the
closed markets, it is evident that there
will be dull and declining prices
there Nevertheless, the operators who
send their products to the closed mar
kets have to sell at the low prices they
have helped to bring about in the open
market.
couple of weeks ago we called their
attention to the fact that shipments to
the closed markets were inimical to
their interests and they began ship
ping to the Savannah market. The
result was that there was a firmer
market at once and there followed
rise of several cents a gallon in the
price of spirits. If they had kept
sending their products to this market
the decline in prices which has taken
place in the last few days might not
have occurred.
How the thing works is illustrated
by an experience of the Antwerp Naval
Stores Company recently. That
company had steamer load
ing here with naval stores,
which after cleaning up the mar
ket went to Fernandina to complete
her cargo, OF course while she was
here there was active bidding for naval
stores. and doubtless there was a.
strong market-as lively competition
strengthens the market-but at Fer
nandina she found a closed market,
and bought what she wanted at prices
prevailing in the Savannah market,
where, the demand having slackened,
prices. II is probable, were not such as
10 make glad the hearts OF operators.
II operators want a firm market and
rising prices they must send their prod
ucts TO the Savannah market-the open
competitive market OF the world. where
prices are made. The buyers are here
and they will compete with each other
