Treatment for the state Of

Trom the Rutland News)
There has been considerable discussion
p this state of late on the New Yer
mont the Greater Vermont" These
'srms have been generally regarded as
ne vermont Industrial and progressive.
rs distinguished from tho purely agrarian
vermont. These now and desirable con-
Yitions were to be brought about by the
development OF the limitless resources of
this state. the exploitation Of its attrac-
livencss as u place of residence and of
business, and by Offering all reasonable
mduc"rncnts to people to come here to
i've and to invest their money.
one or the most persistent newspaper
advocates of the New Vermont has been
the st. Adams Messenger. In season and
out, 1t has been ringing in all the possible
changes on this subject. " has seemed
very deeply concerned about soimc mat
tiers which it has not regarded as strictly
IN line with a good name and a rcputa-
lion for progressiveness. or late. how
ever. 1t seems to have become somewhat
soured. The following quotation from
the Messenger is in point: The man or
woman who survives to a ripe old age iii
Vermont does so in spite OF the most
variable and trying weather conditions
on the face of the continent"
This was the Messengers reioindcr to
a paragraph in the News calling nttcn-
t1on to the deaths. practically within a
week. of three centcnarians in Vermont
and referring in connection herewith to
the healthfulness of the climate. Almost
every Ncrmon paper one picks up con-
tains notices either of the unwontcd ac-
tivity or of the passing away of en-
trcinelv old people-octogenarians and
nonogenarians. And yet the Messenger
seeks to knock Vermont's hcalthfulness.
As a matter Of fact, the climate of this
State, the year round. is tho equal of
That fo1nd in Dny lNCo III u in fhc world in
a similar latitude. Did the newspaper
note that in Nebra ska the other day the
mercury dropped s. degrees in six hours ?
Vermont never had any such variable
weather conditions" as that. for instance.
Here Is another case In point illustrat-
ing the same tendency of the Messenger:
"Nermonters will be glad to read of
Charles II. 1tohb's success. and sorry to
learn that h. had to leave the State to
develop his best opportunity for 1t. That's
the trouble and always has been more or
leSs-thc old commonwealth does not get
the benefit Of the collective labors and
successes of her most eminent and
capable sons because the greater part OF
them have to leave her borders to find
the opportunity to make a start"
The contemporary goes out of its way
to advertise its notion that offers
no opportunities for the broadcast develop
ment OF a mans professional or business
ability. The promotion of Mr.. Robb. or
any other man in the government service,
is, as a matter Of course. Impossible with
In this commonwealth. Government
officials to gain national recognition must,
from the nature of the case. be sen. ia
