The st. Adams Messenger makes a
most complete and convincing answer
to the Hartford Conn., Times,
which had taken occasion to criticise
Senator Proctor for his part in getting
the government interested in reviving
the Morgan horse. the objection being
based on the ground that ii constitutes
a perversion OF public funds to use
them for this purpose. The Messen-
ger cites numerous instances where
the federal government carries on
work that approaches even closer to
the domain OF private enterprise than
horse breeding does, with no general
complaint resulting. 1t clearly out
lines the modern principle OF govern
ment, which is that public funds may
properly be used to put through pro-
jects OF a quasi public nature, adj
mitted to be for the public good, that
can better be conducted under govern
mental authority than otherwise. The
Messengers calculation OF the two ex-
IRENE views of government and its
conception of the safe golden mean
are remarkably cogent; in fact, the
whole editorial would do credit to the
best METROPOLITAN journal.

Although the automobile law is
being pretty well observed, we think,
and most owners of machines seem to
have due care Tor the rights of others.
the prejudice against the new road
engine does not abate very fast, es-
pecially In the rural communities.
While the horses owned and driven in
towns soon become accustomed to the
auto and generally give little trouble
to the drivers it is vastly different with
the farmers animal that seldom sees
the machine. The narrow highways,
too, through the country districts
make the meeting of the auto and the
horse matter of dread. 1t is not too
much to say that the fear OF meeting
automobiles on the road has practi-
cally put stop to driving of farmers
teams by farmers wives and farmers
children all over Vermont. It has
robbed these hard-working and de-
serving people of much of the little
recreation that was theirs. II has
worked real hardship, scarcely to be
compensated Tor by the satisfaction
derived by the comparatively few
automobiles in the operation of their
cars. A limitation OF automobiles to
the use of certain main thoroughtares
through each town that are best fitted
for them and selected to relieve teams
of their near presence is a suggestion
we often hear made. There exists no
unreasonable antipathy toward the
auto; in tact, public sentiment is re-
markably patient with it, under much
sharp provocation.

His Reference.

In the course of a conversation be-
tween two men at the club last night
one of them jokingly remarked that
man with "cheek" could get any
thing he desired, and he backed up
his statement with the following
story:
One of his friends, merchant, had
advertised for a porter. A big, burly
Iris Imam applied for the job. After
looking him over the merchant was
satisfied with his appearances; the
only objection was the question of
references, and the Irisbman did not
seem to have very good one. Can
you get no better reference than
this?" asked the merchant. 20 yis,

COST OF FREIGHT BY CARAVAN
The Rates Are Much Below the Aver.
age in This Country,

The cost of freight carriage by
caravan in oriental countries on the
backs Of camels or other beasts of
burden is subject on which actual
figures are seldom seen in print, says
the Philadelphia Record. We find in
a recent report of United States Con
sui John Tyler of Teheran, Persia,
statement of the rates charged for
carrying freight in Persia over the
road from Ahwaz to Ispahan, 270
miles. The former town is located on
a river emptying into the head of the
Persian gulf, while Ispahan is an in
land city of some 10000 inhabitants.
The average time by caravan for
the journey of 27O miles is twenty
four days, or an average of eleven
miles per day, the charge for carry
ing goods per thirteen pounds weight
is 24.41 cents from Ahwaz to lspahan
and 13.43 cents from Is ahan to All
waz. These figures are equivalent to
IA cents per ton-mile in one direction
and TT cents in the opposite direction
where the traffic is light and freight
ers are glad to accept any figure to
help pay the expenses of their return
journey.
1t will be seen that the former fig
ure is much below the "5 cents per
ton-mile which is generally accepted
in the United States as the standard
cost of hauling freight by wagon with
animal traction.

IDEAS COME TO NOvlCES.
improvements in Manufacture Of
Glass Made Mostly by Workmen.


In 1927 carpenter of Sandwich,
Mass, wanting a piece of glass of a
peculiar shape, conceived the idea
that the molten metal could be
pressed into any form, much the same
as lead might be. Up to that time
all glassware had been blown, either
offhand or in a mold, and considerable
skill was required and the process
was slow The glass manufacturers
laughed at the carpenter, but he went
ahead and built a press, and now the
United States is the greatest pressed
glassware country in the world.
In 1890 novice in the plate glass
industry, Henry Fleckner of Pittsburg,
whose only knowledge of glass had
been acquired in a window glass fac
terry, invented an annealing "lehr,
the most important single improve
rent ever introduced in plate glass
manufacture. In three hours by the
lehr the same work is done which UNI
Ger the old kiln system required three
days. In four years the importations
o. foreign crown and plate glass into
tie United States fell in value from
S2,000,000 to 100000.
About the same year Philip Argo-
bast of Pittsburg, also novice in
glass-making, invented process by
which bottles and jars may be made
entirely by machinery. the costly
Elow-over process being avoided and
the expense of bottle-making reduced

more bottles and jars are used in a

noted woman of France, Nine. de Cir
