There is a close unity between
Montpelier and Barre these days
all because the former place has
license and the latter not. 1t is said
that the crowds at Montpelier last
Saturday was the largest since circus
day last fall, and about all the crowd
was from the granite city. Mont
pelier will no doubt reap a harvest
this summer from its sister city and
business will also be brisk on the
electric road.

Franklin county has organized a
base ball league and several of the
leading towns of that county will
have teams made up entirely of home
players. This is step in the right
direction. There can be as much
enthusiasm created in local base ball
playing, and perhaps more, than is
injected in those teams which paw
fancy prices for imported players and
which invaribly come up bankrupt
at the end of the season.

Minister Bowen who represents
this Government at that hot-water

home to explain charges which he has
preferred against Assistant Secretary
of State Loomis, who preceded him as
Minister to Venezuela. The main &C
cusation is that LOOMS accepted
money from "a private corporation
for promoting its interests in that
country. The Assistant Secretary
denies the charge. He explains that
he obtained the company's check in
return for his own money, in order to
avoid the high rate of exchange be-
tween the United States and Ven.
ezuela. He asserts that he never
asked or received anything of value
from the company in question.

Walter E. Ranger, State Superin-

bad move, as men of the caliber of
