The trouble with Russia seems to
be she doesn't know when she is
licked. In treating OF peace with
Japan, Russia assumes a naughty de-
meanor, almost as severe as if she
were the victor, instead of the van
pushed. She forgets that the past
few months have changed the relative
positions of the two countries as mill
tary and naval powers; that her armies
have shown a signal lack OF ability TO
withstand their foe; her fleets have
been destroyed; her money and credit
are well nigh exhausted; and her home
are chaotic; that Japan Is
stronger today than ever, and no
efforts that she can put forth bid fair
70 hold the mikado's arms in check.
In fact, the conditions demand from
Russia peace at any price. 1t is well
enough for her ENJOYS to haggle if
they think they can secure better terms
by so doing, but it will be tremen-
dous mistake il they conclude the con-
ference without putting an end to the
war on the best terms Japan will offer.
True, Russia is not yet in the last
ditch. She can fight on for a time and
while suffering losses herself can in
dict some on her toe. But the issue is
hopeless. She cannot win. She can
not possibly better her present condi-
ion, but every day must stagger on to
/ more deplorable estate. Reject
Japan's terms now and at the inevi-
able end worse ones will follow. Not

The colored man hasn't an easy row
to hoe, even up here in "nigger-loying
Vermont" He does not pass as the
white man does, on his merits. but
something is always deducted on ac-
count of his race. One would think
that in the department OF sports. at
least, where manliness and fairness
and consideration prevail, if they do
anywhere, it would be lacking. There
is player named Matthews on one
of the Northern League bali teams.
He is conceded to be among the best
individual all-round players in the
League. He seldom makes an error,
is a power at the bat and runs bases
with rare judgment and success. Per-
sonally, he is every inch and every
moment a gentleman, both on and Off

from Matthews. His demeanor is

he is the peer of any OF the players or
patrons Of the sport, a graduate of
Harvard, who has worked his way
through that great institution by his
own efforts. Yet it is not to be de-
MED that strong prejudice exists
against this proficient young gentle
man player because OF his color and
race-a prejudice entertained not only
by the single white player from Ala
bama who won't enter a game in
which he plays, but by other members
OF the several teams. 1t is noticeable
that he is summed by many of them
He started in to play shortstop, but

a white man that way. It's a shame
that unreasoning prejudice will 90 so
far and crop out in such a despicable
way.

Although Rutland has had three
years experience with the new law.
and although that law has been
strengthened. the cases OF arrested
DRINKS have steadily increased. Note
these figures: In July, 1902, under
the old prohibitory law, there were 10
DRINKS in city court. In July, 1908,
under the license option of the new
law there were 81 DRINKS. In July 1904
under the prohibitory option OF the
new law. there were 20 DRINKS. Last
month, again under the license option.
there were 60 DRINKS in city court.
Have these figures no significance
~ Rutland News.
1t has been pretty thoroughly de
monstrated that the license option is
productive OF more cases of intoxica-
ton and more arrests. theoretically,
cities and towns that confront this
condition should vote no license and
close the saloons. But here's where
theory gets tumble-they don't com
monty do it because the majority pre-
fers saloons to no saloons, even with
the ills attending them.

development. The common route dis
cussed connects Rutland with Mont
pelief and Barre. The most practical
bic passage over the main mountain
range is through Sherburne and Men
don. From Mendon to Rutland is
easy sailing. The same can be said of
the east side stretch from Sherburne
through Pittsiield to Stoekbridge. At
Stoekbridge connection could be
made with the White River railroad
already running through to Bethel.
Here the line, after intersecting the
Central Vermont, could follow the
Bethel Granite railroad now building
to the summit Of the spur range diyid-
ing the valleys of West and East
Bethel. This line, of standard gauge
and fitted for ascent by regular loco
motives, need only to be continued
down the other slope, then through
East Randolph and East Brookield,
an easy grade, to Williamstown gulf,
that defile and connect at
Williamstown with the branch OF
the Central, then on to Barre.
1t would not only be line over which
the output OF both the Barre and
Bethel granite quarries could be trans
ported to the south and west, but, if
thoroughly constructed, would handle
with despatch light freight and pas
senger traffic. The whole route would
cover a distance of some seventy miles,
OF which about one-third is or soon
will be completed.
