Attracting Summer Visitors.
bennington Banner.

Entertaining summer visitors is an
art that is not acquired in a day or
season. Just because a Vermont vii
lage hotel with all the bleakness of a
barn and the comforts and attractions
of boarding school advertises itself
as a summer resort does not prove
anything except inVerselN. The
guests fooled into going TO such a
place are ever afterward travelling
guides On why not come to Vermont.
The summer visitor, like the native
animal. looks for creature comforts
hrst-good rooms. soft beds, good
table food perfect and well served,
modern sanitation, pure water, fresh
butter. milk. eggs, etc. Secondly the
visitor wants something for amuse-
meut-gOlf tennis. boating fishing,
driving. etc. Thirdly and of abso-
lutely no avail unless the first two are
present the summer visitor wants
scenery and impressive or at least at
tractive natural surroundings.
OF the third qualification Vermont
has an unlimited supply The second
is easy to get and there is no excuse
for not providing it in plenty. while
the first can be provided only by in
tellgent people well versed in the
business and up to date in their pro
fession
Provide the two artificial essentials
IN proximity to the natural one which
is so plenty in Vermont and let the
fact be known and the summer visit
ors will be plenty enough.

Our Monument at Gettysburg,

Vermont has so often fallen down

been occasion for competitive showing
that it is exceedingly refreshing to

tysburg for the first time, need SILVER

monument erected by his state to her
gallant sons who bore such a conspic-

hundred on'the field. Barring the fed
eral monument in the national Gene
terry and that of New York state,
there are none more striking or more
eloquent than little Vermont's shaft

bronze surrounding it. The Yer

pride, not only that his fathers fought
well on this field, but that their valor

If anybody expected that a license

those things in which prohibition
woefully failed, he greatly misjudged
not only that law, but all the laws Of
cause and effect, as well, The Yer

alton less than five months, and in
that time. some things about it have
been learned just as well as they

structural weaknesses are many and
some of them cannot be remedied too
soon. 1t is being violated in some
quarters, as all excise laws are, when
they can be. 1t is not the powerful
factor for temperance that some peo-
pie deluded themselves into think
ing it would be- Against these weak
nesses and faults stands the facts
that it was the eXpedient thing to en-
act and that it is the eXpedient thing
to continue until something better can
be evolved. Meantime, enforce it to

For one very important reason, the
recent advance in silver will be wei
coined. Silver mining is a very i'm
portant interest in the United States,
though it does not rank as high, abso-
lutely or relatively, as it did a few
years ago. The market value of the
United States annual silver product
has averaged about $33,000,00 in re-
cent years, which is something of an
item in the countrys resources. An
advance, however, of few cents an
ounce above the present price would
open hundreds of mines now closed,
and add many millions to the coun-
trys annual output of the metal. This
is something in which gold men as
we'll as silverites would rejoice
