Judged by pamphlet published by
the government of Paraguay, that coun-
try may become an important source of
cotton supply. Its eastern region gives
an average yield of about 800 pounds
to the acre, where in the best field in
this country it is only about 300
pounds. The entire cotton belt in Par
aguay is close to water transportation,
and the only cause which has prevent
Ell the development of the industry is
one that exists all over South Amer
ica-the absence Of an adequate and
sufficient labor supply.

Chicago. Railway Experiment.

The whole country will watch Win
teen interest the results Of Chico COS
experiment in municipal ownership and
operation Of street railways. In favor
of which the electors Of the western
metropolis have lately declared ty a
vote Of more than two TO one. The issue
was squarely before the people. and
he vote Of 10000 TO $4,000 in favor Of
the proposition that the city al once
take over the street railways into It's
control may be accepted as fair meas
Use Of the strength Of the municipal
ownership movement in that city, and
Il will doubtless accelerate the move
ment in this direction in other commu-
mites where the subject is being dis
cussed.
The Mueller law. under which the
election was held. gives the cities Of
Illinois the right 10 construct, own,
lease or operate street railways II they
shall elect 80 TO do. II appears, how
ever. that the city Of Chicago is not
now in financial position 10 buy the
street railways Of the companies that
own them. The vote favoring the i'm
mediate purchase Of the railways is
therefore for the present imperative.
There was a further proposition sub
United asking tie voters TO declare
whether instead Of granting franchises
the city should proceed at once under
its police powers and other existing
laws ito license the street railway
companies until municipal ownership
can be secured and compel them TO
give satisfactory service" This was
approved by a vote of 10000 to AS
coo
Whether or not the city will in tte
near or remote future be in u position
to assume complete ownership and
operation OF the railways, the people
have demonstrated their power 10 con
troll and regulate the transportation
corporations, which have. according tC
all accounts persistently detied public
sentiment and furnished wretchedly
inadequate service. II nothing else is
accomplished, the people of Chicag sc
have supplied themselves with a very
effective club to hold over the defan
corporations and to compel them to sup
ply better and more adequate transpor
tation facilities.

In our last issue we briefly referred
to the apparent murder at Bloomfield in
this county. We knew that it would
give US a notoriety beyond the limits of
the state as all item of news. We knew
We should hear much said about the
rural district in wffch the sad affair
took place. We are not surprised that
Our brothers Of the press should suggest
that in no other portion Of the sta te is
the population SO scattered, SO to speak,
''that there is but one newspaper pub
lished in the county, and that daily is
not printed within sixty miles of the
place Of conflict" We knew MANY
things would be said to make it seem to
the casual reader that it was not at all
an unnatural occurrence, when the sur
roundings were understood. We make
no defence Of the horrid deed. We con-
denim with intense expression all family
feuds Or conditions inviting to riotous
scenes and assaults. We abhor criminal
instincts. We deprecate conditions of
immortality and vice, and we hope the
guilty will be punished to the full ex-
tent Of the law. We know that in this
county where large numbering interests
are carried on, calling for the bringing
within our borders of ven of low birth
and criminal procivities, largely other
than natives Of Vermont, that condi.
tioaE exist which are menace to law
and order; yet the most of our perma-
nent workingmen who are citizens with
us, are believers in that order which un-
derlies all successful government, and
exert wholesome influence. We said
last week that the records of the county
organized for more than hundred
years showed but one trial for murder.
How many counties can show such a
record We know we are a so called ru-
raj community, but we venture the as
sertjon that the communities are rare
where there is keener regard among
the people for uprightness Of character
and obedience to law than here. We are
as largely religious people as can be
found, and some books and weekly and
daily papers can be found in nearly all
our homes. These things happen in the
rural districts they happen in the large
towns and cities. Good men and bad
men and women too, can be found in
every hamlet town and city 20 bless or

the world many saints and many devils

High Cost of Living.

Not in twenty years, according to the
reckoning of Dun's review, has it cost
so much to live as now. 1t says that
the average prices of breadstuffs,
meats, dairy and garden products,
clothing, metals and other miscel-
laneous necessities of life have increas-
ed 80 per cent In less than seven years
and are now higher than they have
been in two decades. Bradstreets
says that the present range of prices
lis at the highest level in four years."
and breadstuffs are "at the highest
price reached in thirteen years, nothing
like the March l level being shown
since 1891, the year of the Russian
crop failure"
The commercial papers seem to be at
a loss to account for the high prices.
Bradstreet's attributes them to the
largely sentimental influences of the
breaking out of the war between Rus
sia and Japan" The opinion that they
are sentimental is corroborated by
Dun's, which points out that Russia is
actually exporting much more wheat
than the United States" The United
States Investor (Bostony is puzzled to
see commodities rising while wages
and stocks are going down. The in
creased supply of gold, it remarks.
might account for the increased prices,
but IF the prices Of commodities rise
the prices Of stocks, which are meas
ured also in value by gold, certainly
ought not to decline" as they have
been doing.
