DOES 1T PAY7

Last Saturday afternoon, three
strong, able-bodied men quit work at
the usual time at the Bethel granite
quarries. Last Sunday morning, their
mangled and dismembered bodies
were found alongside the railroad
track. And few empty whiskey bot
ties found nearby furnished the expla-
nation.
Another lesson OF the damning curse
of drink. Sober Saturday night, these
men would have been safe in bed. or
at least able to avoid danger. Drunk
Saturday night, they could not roll out
of the way OF coming freight train,
even.
just as clearly was that rum respon-
sible tor the death OF these men as if il
had been carbolic acid they had
drunk. And they drank it because
they wanted to because it tasted good
to them; or because they liked the
stimulation that resulted. An awful
penalty they paid Tor this qualification.
The person who drinks liquor 81
taat his brain is added puts his life,
his safety and that of others in ieop-
ardy. All may not find their way un'
der the car wheels, as these men did
but it is merely chance If they do not
or risk other dangers. A drunken
man is the most irresponsible of cres
lures. Often, be hasn't the instinct Of
the brute to avoid trouble. He has
parted with his mind, for the time
being, and is at the mercy of what
ever be encounters. Men in this con
dition, whether they have made dis
turbance or not, are unsafe at large
and for their own good, il nothing
more, should always be arrested, or a
the very least turned over to the care

must of necessity come through the
volunteer arm-the militia. To foster.
encourage and improve this arm
should be the aim and desire OF every
patriotic American. Well-meant eriti-
cism has its proper place, but utter
anoes calculated to disparage and
make unpopular the militia organiza-
tions or their members should not be
made. II is most unwise and I'M
patriotic.
Whoever has come in close contact
with the national guard OF this or
other states knows that the bulk OF its
membership is not composed OF dudes
or drunkards. but active, enlightened,
patriotic young men-a fair and
average type of the youth Of America.
Their ignorance of the art OF war may
make them ridiculous in comparison
with regulars, but they are learning
all the time, and at the end OF three
years have more than smattering OF
military knowledge; indeed, may be
many degrees advanced toward the
ideal citizen soldiery. As their ser
vice lengthens, they lose the some
times offensive vanity they have at
the outset But whether lost or not.
the real question is, are they better
soldiers than they were at the begin
ming And there can be but one
answer.
The time has been and viii come
again when we shall thank our stars
that We have the national guard. even
if it was but Tor "fun" and show pur-
poses that its members enlisted.

HoNoREO BY STATE.
Bust OF n. a. Huse and Portrait of
Dewey Placed in Capitol.

The bronze bust of the late Hiram
A. Huse, authorized by the last legis-
lature as a memorial OF the long and
distinguished service rendered by Mr..
Huse as state librarian, has been re-
ceived at the capitol and was placed in
position last Thursday. 1t is one of
the finest memorials in the building.
The bust is twice lite size and is the
work of Lopez, whose statues and
groups at the st. Louis exposition have
won such favorable notice.
The bust stands on an especially de-
signed pedestal five feet high and oc-
cupies a place between two of the
front windows of the library.
Near the top of the pedestal is the
following inscription -

Thursday there was hung in the
main corridor of the state house at the
right of the main entrance, three
fourths length, life size portrait of Ad-
miral Dewey. 1t represents the adml-
raj standing in full uniform with his
left hand resting on the hilt of his
sword and the right hand on his hip.
The portrait IS an excellent likeness of
the admiral. The attitude is said to be
a characteristic one. The portrait is the
work of w. ID. Murphy Of New York.
1t was authorized by a joint resolution
of the legislature adopted in 1902

STRIKERS LOSE.
Give Up Contest With the Vermont
Marble Companies.

Probably the most crushing defeat
ever experienced by unionism in Yer
mont came about Sunday when tire
strike of the marble workers of Rut-
land county which has been in pro-
gress since July II was officially
declared OFF by the executive com
mittee of the International Association
of Marble Workers. The action has
been sanctioned by the local unions
and the men returned 10 work at the
various plants Monday, so far as there
were places for them.
President Fitzgerald Of the inter-
national association addressed a big
mass meeting OF strikers At Rutland
Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Fitzgerald
said later that the strikers were
beaten through the treachery of some
OF their own members, claiming that
the marble companies bought many
OF the strikers.
The companies affected BY the strike
were the Vermont Marble company
with plants at Proctor, Center and
West Rutland. the Rutland Florence
Marble company at Fowler. .he Col
umbian Marble Quarrying company.
Temple Brothers, and W. r. Kinsman
of Rutland. The smaller plants were
badly crippled at first, but during the
last few weeks have been rapidly
gaining ground. Discomfort among
the strikers has been increasing rapid
IN and il has been evident for some
time that the end must come soon.
The international organization has
been very slack about forwarding
money for the support OF the strikers.
None Of them have received more than
$40 since the strike began and many
OF them only So.
The demands which were made by
the unions about the middle OF last
June included nine-hour day with
double pay for over time, weekly pay
ment, a union wage scale and the
adjustment of piece work. Some of
the smaller companies have offered
since the strike began to grant some
of these demands. The men refused 10
accept and now they will 90 back I'M
der exactly the same conditions that
existed when the strike was called.

People have become so accustomed
to regarding Vermont as a good state
to emigrate from only, and poor
state to come to. that a recent event
held at Silver Lake, Barnard, has
more than passing interest. Here
were gathered nearly one hundred
persons in jolly picnic Tor the day,
all OF whom have come from New
York state during the past few years
and taken up their residence in this
section, mainly in Bethel, Barnard,
Royalton, Stockbridge and Rochester.
These people were attracted to YER
mont by the low price of farms and
farming lands, and the good prospect
for farming generally, as compared
with Northern New York, from which
part most of them came. The immi
grafton has been without special slim
ulus. The first corners, pleased with
their experience, reported fayorably to
their friends, and these followed.
They are as class desirable citizens,
who will take a creditable part in the
industrial and social life of this local
ity. When people come from without
the state like this to take up Vermont
farms, it is proof conclusive that they
are worth having, and the spectacle
gives our native stock pride and cour-
age and makes them better contented
with their lot
