1.-THE established rate of the Bell
company" said Mr.. Buchanan lis S25
for business houses and $1S for private
houses, for a six mile limit from the
central Office" He read an affidavit
tending TO show that rate of So per
month was made at North Troy.
Mr.. S5ickney interrogated Mr..
Buchanan respecting the rates of his
company.
stThis is not court of law" said
Mr.. Buchanan in answer to a sharp
retort, 'sbut court of justice. If the
New England company will adopt a
conservative policy and make an
even rate we will gladly meet them;
what we object to is TO cut rates in
our territory. In Barre, as Mr.. East
mans affidavit shows, the house rate
Is $1S per year, while in Newport they
give the same service for SIS per year. {"
Asked if his company had suffered
by the close competition of the New
England company, Mr.. Buchanan
said his company had been obliged to
take out 'phones on account of low
rates.
Mr.. Buchanan claimed that the
manager of the New England com
pany had told him that 80 per cent
was as low profit as his concern
could live under.
Mr.. Buchanan said that at Newport
the house raue was SO a month and
SIS for stores, or S24 for both. He
admitted that Prouty & Miller of
Newport paid nothing for the use of
their phone.

in gaining admission there. Mr.,
Story, OF the Bell company, ap-
preached the speaker with a propo-
sition TO unite interests. This was
not accepted and later numerous
solicitogH appeared and cut the rate.
Then came the trip to Boston, the
sending of engineers to Vermont and
the appraisal of The property. Wben
all was ready second trip was made
to Boston, when proposition was
made, but not accepted. Since then

We trust the legislature will not
fail to appropriate generous sum for
a Vermont exhibition at the James
town exposition to be held in James
town, Va, next year. All the New
England states except Vermont and
New Hampshire have appropriated
money for buildings, etc, and as this
is one of the best methods known to
exploit resources of state Vermont
should be one of the first to get into
line with appropriate exhibit 3ns.
The Vermont Improvement society
would do well to see that this bill was
helped through and then make them
selves known at this exposition.

We feel that the telephone rate bill,
as set forth in an editorial reprinted
from the Express and Standard in
another column, should become law
in the state of Vermont. There is no
doubt that the bill will receive strong
support and will probably receive the
governors signature.

sEcRErARY TAFT 1N cuBA.

GECRETARY TAFT, who is now in Cuba,
- may be depended upon to make a careful
study Of the situation there before giving advice
as to what is the best course to be pursued. Some
rapid firing persons expected the Secretary to
announce as soon as he landed, what should be
done to settle the disturbed conditions on the is
land, bnt Taft is not the sort OF man to act
without due deliberations
He has had great experience in dealing with
such problems as that Of Cuba Already some
of the hasty ones are urging immediate interven-
ton in the island by the United States with a
view OF speedy annexation In certain quarters
there has always existed strong annexation SEN
timent but the government does not propose to
take their independence from the Cubans unless
their conduct makes such step absolutely heces-
sary.
Mr. Taft is listening to the statements Of both
the parties in the conflict and he will try TO find
out what the people of the island, regardless of
the manipulators, desire. The Moderates, or
government party, will present their side of the
case and the Liberals will be given equal oppor-
tunty. Mr.. Taft will also find out the sentiment
in the provinces That Of Havana, the capital,
might be misleading. Frequently the opinions at
the capital of a nation do not represent the ideas
OF residents throughout the country.
Mr. Taft is a good listener and that is, for the
present his principal occupation in Cuba.

"A LTHOUGH he was defeated for the Re
publican nomination for Governor Of New
Hampshire Winston Churchill the novelist, who
lives in that State has won notable victory
Almost alone and unaided, he started a crusade
against the Boston and Maine Railroad Company
that for many years has dominated the politics
of that State and which put former Senator
Chandler out Of business. AT the Republican
convention the other day Churchill received 1886
votes for the nomination for Governor while the
Boston and Maine candidate got 4o8 votes.
When Mr. Churchill first announced that he
would make a canvas for the nomination for
Governor he was ridiculed. How could such a
comparative stranger to the people of the Granite
State 60 against the railroad ring that has ex-
ercised its power for so many years without any
one daring to dispute its pretensions. An at
tempt was made to laugh the novelist out of
politics. Only two papers in the State would
publish announcements of his meetings The
press was either silenced or arrayed on the side
Of the railroad company That is the feature of
the press in some other States. When papers
fear to advocate the unpopular side OF question
they remain silent hoping to keep the voter in
ignorance of the facts that revolt is on. But
the author was not dismayed. It is remarkable
e that he made the showing that he did in the CON
vention and came so close to scouting the nomi-
nation.
Previous to starting his campaign the Boston
and Maine Railroad Company was charging the
residents of New Hampshire $II Tor mileage
book for 500 miles, although the same company
asked only $40 for the same service in neghbor-
Massachusetts. The company, when it saw
Churchill meant business, quickly stopped the
discrimination.
In Senator Gallingers own town, Concord,
Churchill defeated him, the novelist's delegates
winning by vote OF I4I to 6. The faculty of
Dartsmouth College rallied to his support and
men f prominence everywehere came out for
the author who was making such determined
contest The Churchill influence won some not
able points in the platform of the convention
The Railroad Company is to be prohibited from
issuing passes and measures will be taken to pre-
vent corrupt seen or unseen lobby.
While heidi not secure the nomination for
Governor, the novelist has every reason to feel
satisfied with the fine showing he made.

TRIUMPH OF roors.

VAT E ARE pleased to note that great ques-
w ton that has been agitating the theatri-
cal company that appeared at the Opera House
on Thursday night has been satisfactorily settled
Miss Georgia Gains celebrated canine Toots has
won a notable victory over the hard-hearted and
obdurate Pullman Palace Car Company Here
after Toots the sky terrier, is to be permitted to
ride in the Pullman cars in all parts of the coun-
try and special attention will be paid to him.
The subject has caused stir in the offices of
the Pullman Company Miss Cain could not
bear the thought OF being separated from Toots
while travelling from one city to another and her
company was in hearty sympathy with her. If
the cruel Pullman Company would not permit
Toots to ride in one of their stuffy cars, why,
then Miss Cain would go with Toots into an or
dinary coach so as to be with the darling dog all
the time
The Pullman people could do nothing else than
yield. They didn't want to lose the patronage of
Miss Cain and so they submitted to Toots
Some folks will think this is not an important
matter, but it is one of grave concern to trans
portation companies The railroad officials Of
New York declare that the question Of shipping
the dogs and other animal pets from New York
10 the summer homes Of the metropolitan people
IS much more puzzling and requires greater care
than does the transportation of children And
they have noticed that the number Of dogs go
ing to summer homes is increasing every year
while the children are becoming fewer.

TEXANS DENouNcE BAILEY.

TEXANS are getting after Senator Joseph
a w. Bailey with sharp stick. This shows
the right spirit in Texas. Inymany States SEN
ators do what Bailey has done without even a
whisper of criticism. AT least they have done so
under the old dispensatiou but there will be a
change in the future. Bailey was equally the at
torney for the Standard oil Company and the
State Of Texas in the Senate. Perhaps the fevela-
tions concerning Bailey throw light on why
President Roosevelt, during the closing hours of
the railroad rate legislation, dropped the Texan
as he would hot potato. Many of Bailey's
former staunch supporters, including newspapers
that once upheld him, have turned against Bailey
and are calling upon President Roosevelt to sift
Bailey's connection with the Standard Oil Com
pany
The Senator was the attorney for the Waters
Pierce Oil Company which the State of Texas
was trying to prevent doing business, as it was
part Of the Standard Oil Company. Democrats
in twelve Texas counties already are circulating
petitions calling for county conventions to in
struct representatives in the Legislature to vote
against Bailey's return as Senator
