AN ADVENTURE IN SOCIALISM.
burlington News.1

Vermont made its first adventure
in Socialism-and was taught its first
lesson-just ninety-nine years ago Our
experiment took the form of a State bank
and IT required just eight years to es-
tablish definitely the fallacy of the idea.
The history of the State bank is re-
cited by Mr.. L. S. Hayes, in the exceed
ingly valuable series of historical sketches
which he is contributing to the Bellows
Falls Times. The scheme was ten years
a-borning, for ten years agitation for II
was unsuccessful owing to opposition to
banks in general and to a division of
sentiment among the people regarding the
wisdom of having any such bank in
particular. 1t furnished the occasion for
unending contests at the sessions of the
Legislature each year. Finally, on Novem-
Der 10, 1906, an act was passed establish
ing the Vermont State bank This al first
consisted of two branches, one at Wood
stock, the other at Middlebury. The next
year two additional branches were estab-
lished one at Burlington the other at
Westminster. All the stock of this bank,
and all the profits arising therefrom were
to be the property of the State, and all
the concerns of the bank were to be under
the control and direction of the legisla-
ture forever. The immediate manage
ment of the bank was committed to is di-
rectors to be chosen annually by the
legislature, one of whom was to be presi-
dent.
1.-The record of the State bank" con-
tinues Mr.. Hayes, was not what had
been anticipated by its projectors, and
compiled lions of various kinds arose.
Opposition and jealousy interfered with
its patronage and its business never at
tanned great proportions. The Westmin-
ster branch in 1911 was removed to Wood
stock by act OF the legislature and the
next year those at Burlington and Mid
dlebury were transferred to the same
place. In the year 1914, the Legislature
passed an act ordering the treasurer of
the State to burn all the bills of the bank
except what were needed to meet the de-
mands upon the treasury for a few sue
ceeding years, and the business of banking
by the State of Vermont was soon dis
continued. The loss to individuals in con-
sequence OF the failure of the institution
was trifiing, but the loss to the State was
large"

Trapped Valuable silver Gray Fox.

c. ]. Kew of Waitsfield caught in a
trap this fall a silver gray fox, the skin
of which is valued at 5000. Mr.. Kew is a
young man but has been trapping foxes
about five years. His father and brother
have followed the work in the fall the
past IL years and during that time have
captured about 900 foxes but this is only
the second silver gray fox that has been
found. Mr.. Kew has secured % animals
this fall, which is about the average al
though in one year he trapped 3S. The
larger number of the animals are red and
the skins bring about SO each. Mr.. Kew
says foxes are plentiful but that one must
know how to trap them in order to have
any success. The scent of the animals is
very keen and If the traps are not ar
ranged just right the foxes are scared
away. Mr.. Kew traps only a few weeks
each fall, removing his apparatus as soon
as snow falls. He does this because he
says the snow gives other persons a
knowledge of where the traps are located
and of how they are placed.

Andrew Carnegie, capitalist, author and
philosopher, is 6S years old. He is in
good health, as well as he has felt in
years, as he declared recently to a friend.
He has given away a total of $139, 000 900
of his colossal fortune and declares he
is still ready to give. The records show
that Mr.. Carnegie's gifts thus far in 1905
have amounted to $11,560,000.

Not since 1873 has there been a codifi-
cation of federal laws or congressional
enactments. That codifcation is known
as the Revised Statutes slightly amended
and corrected in 1877; but in all the years
since Congress has been piling up legis-
lation in amendment or repeal or addi-
ton or extension of the old, until the old
volume of statutes has become very I'M
certain guide. But a federal commission
has been at work for some time codify-
ing the whole body of legislation enacted
since 1873 or 1877 and harmonizing the
old statutes with it, and the result will
be submitted to Congress at the present
session. An enacting bill will establish
the commissions work as the re-revised
body of national law. 1t is said that the
new code will be printed in two volumes.

mem! mas been erected on the line be-
tween the towns of Sharon and

longed to his grandfather, Solomon Mack
and was rented by Joseph's father
Junius f. Wells, who first visited south
koyalton and Sharon in 1894. has had
charge of the plans for the erection of the

Sharon side of the line The shaft for

which lifted him from obscurity to fame:
James 1: 5: IF any of you lack wisdom
let him ask Of God. that giveth to all men
literally and unbraideth not, and 1t shall
be given him." The monument cost
large sum, but the exact amount is not
known. The Mormons have bought IS
acres Of land surrounding the site 1t is
expected that so Of the most distinguished
men OF the Mormon church will come to-
morrow in a special car to South Royal
ton to be present at the dedication

A new development in the California
fruit business is the shipment of peaches

condition City Clerk Elbourn says Coun-

selections on the violin and then the club
adopted a resolution introduced by Hough-
ton endorsing the candidacy Of w. b. Ten
Eyck for police judge.

Monday afternoon and protest against the
districtlng of the Twelfth ward as pro-
posed. The club will hold a smoker at

BREAKS A NATIONAL RECORD
Sale of Nebraska shirt Company at
Brandeis' Establishes Mark In
Mems Furnishing Goods.

The old theory that women are the only
bargain enthusiasts received a setback
Saturday when Omaha men by thousands
crowded the aisles at ]. l., Brandes &
Sons TO share the benefits Of the sale OF
the Nebraska Shirt company stock.
From o'clock In the morning until late
In the evening the store was thronged with
men who adequately represent Omaha's
business and professional coterie. Scores
Of prominent physicians and bankers bent
over the bargain squares and a roll call
OF the Omaha bar would not have found
great number OF absentees Together with
the men were hundreds OF women buyers,
acting as purchasing proxies for busy hus-
bands and sons. II was not only the larg-
est and most successful sale Of it's kind
ever held in Omaha. but the proprietors
declare that never before In the history
OF the country has there been a sale OF
mems furnishings that demanded so much
space and Melted so much in gross sales
as this one.
