VERMONT IN GLIDDEN TOUR.
Secretary John W. Gordon of Vermont
Auto Club Urges Consideration.

John w. Gordon Of this city, secretary
Of the Vermont Automobile Club, has
written letter to the Boston Herald,
urging that Vermont be included in the
Glidden automobile tour next summer.
His letter is as follows:
If Vermont is a territory that can
very properly 8 be developed, and the
Glidden tou is an agent for developing
territories, why should not the develop
ment begin nows Ii it is a mere ques-
tion of precedence, has not Massachu-
sette had its sharei
Last year the Glidden tour trayersed
the state on the outward and return
trip. Vermont was not touched and
barely sighted. Yet its valleys and hills
should be the tourists mecca. You
boast Of Massachusetts, roads, but is
macadam the principal feature of a
tour? Is the artificial so greatly SUI
perior to the natural that the former
should be preferredg Are the highways
of Vermont, guarded by its hills of
evergreen and graded by nature when
she laid the floors of its valleys, no Off
set to the product of stone crusheri
Our roads are largely of the earth type,
but they are subject to light traffic,
and during the settled conditions of the
summer months furnish excellent beds.
"Where can northern New England
furnish finer route than that from
Breton Woods by st. Johnsbury to
Montpelier and Buriingtona Where is
there finer lake scenery than upon the
borders of Champlain? From Burling-
ton the route could follow the easterly
shore of the lake as far as Middlebury,
thence to Rutland, Saratoga and Al
bany. And we think the tourists would
be satisfied with the route
"But if Massachusetts, would join with
us, the route might include both states.
Returning from Burlington to Mont
pelier (39 miIes), the tourists could 60
by Barre, WiIliamstown Gulf, White
River junction. Windsor, CIaremont,
Lake Sunapee, Newport, Concord, Man
chester, etc, to Boston. This last route
would cover much of the famous route
over which the intercolonial stages
made the fastest time between Boston
and Montreal.
eve trust that Massachusetts will
abandon her attitude Of opposition to
Vermont and assist in securing the adop-
tion of route that will include both
states, then we can all indulge in the
pleasing sentiment that the dead echoes
Of the old stage coach win be revived
by those Of the latest achievement in
the world Of travel"

Senate Is Reluctant TO Act.

At Tuesdays convention of
the United States Senate in
Washington, D. G., a petition
was presented by Mr.. Carmack,
who is a member of the Inter
state Commerce committee, for
an early consideration of the
railroad rate legislation. It is
unnecessary to go into detail in
defining this bill, as the only i'm
portant and interesting princi-
pie it embraces, is the right it
assigns to the government to
fix rates on all railroad lines.
Upon Mr.. Carmack's presenta-
ton of the petition, inquiry was
was made regarding the pros
pets OF the bill being considered.
Mr.. Elkins, chairman of the
committe, made the following
reply:
The bill that passed the house
reached the senate about ten
days ago. During that time the
senate has had almost contin-
uous sessions, but only one
friend of the railroads has been
heard. The committee has given
the best attention to the bill.
but there has been no time for
the consideration of the amend
ments to The bill, but there are
several believed to be import
ant. No decision DIS to an effort
10 pass the bill this session has
been reached. but with a linn
tied time at their disposal it
.ould seem that there is very
little prospect of that result be-
fore adjournment, with only ten
DAYS of the session left and with
much other imperative business
to be performed. 1t would
hardly probable that the
most important economic qucs-
ton of the day could be disposed
of in SO short a time, and espec-
ially in view of the fact that
only one side of the question
has SO far been presented to the
committee"
Mr.. Carmack excused himself
from speaking, but made T.
mark that the members of the
committee were acting in pei feet
harmony. and would be guided
in the matter by the wishes oil
the President.
Providing that the committee
is guided by Roosevelt's wishes,
there is not much doubt that the
bill will receive the recommended
ton and support of the COM
mittee.
