mer resorts, says:

business which Manchester has en-
loved is due to the large number
of touring automobiles which have
visited Manchester this season,
there having been as many as thir-
ty automobiles passing through
Manchester in one day. The man.
ayers of the Equinox house are
planning to make greater improve
ments for taking care OF the auto
mobiles next season."
The lawmakers can afford to
give this little suggestion serious
thought. Here is plain, prac-
teal demonstration of what the
automobile is beginning to mean
to Vermont summer tourist and
summer bOarder business. 1t is
not a mere argument or theory
devised to help offset the message
of Governor Proctor. 1t is a fact
message was written. AS condi-
lions are in Manchester, so they
are throughout all the lively sum-
mer resorts, great and small and
growing, all over Vermont. And
the prosperity of the summer re-
sorts is not self-retained, does not
end with them, but is extended to
all the country roundabout. The
more summer boarders any viii
lace can entertain, the more that
village must draw on the sur
rounding country for it's supplies,
and the better the price of farm
products and the higher the value
of farm lands, in consequence.
But the summer tourist is east
ly scared away, sometimes, as
many an Atlantic coast resort or
Adirondack or White mountain
hotel could tell. Let the report
90 out of Vermont that this state
has laid an embargo upon auto
mobiles, that autoists have to pay
a tax to come across it's borders,
to begin with, and that, after they
get here, they are chased off one
road after another and led up in
Vulnerable blind alleys only to be
warned out Of them by some Off
cious constable and made to pay
q good round fine beside-and
neither Manchester nor any other
place will be obliged to provide
additional accommodations for
automobiles next year. 1t does
not matter that the limitations
as to the use of highways are
comparatively few and perhaps
not very seriously restrictive of
the selection of pleasant routes
through the state. The report
goes out that the roads in Yer
mont are not all free to visitors
and that's enough.

Some one ought to send Upton
Sinclair the two reports on dis
eased meat in Vermont for the
foundation of another story like
"The Jungle" One does not have
to 90 outside the state to find
some of the facts in his great book
verified, and the packing houses
and all others are none too severe
ly condemned for their shady
transactions. The Chittenden
county grand jury will soon re-
port on the case and it is needless
to say their report will be awaited
with interest. Gov. Bells last Of

Before you take another whirl
in an automobile read what the
prophet has to say in Nahum "a.

you?" GLOW did you happen to
know it. Never should have
dreamed it Of you"

Andrew Carnegie is many times
a millionaire, but started at the
bottom and knows all about work.
His head is filled with a library
of common sense. Listen to this:

the state is doing as much as it
should. If l wereja young man

work for a dollar a day if neces-

any one to help me. There is al

willing to work, and when | hear
to the contrary it seems hard to
believe. | know of manufacturers
who are willing to pay three dol

me they have difficulty in securing
labor. Socialism of a sort seems
to be growing in this country. ]
see evidences of it everywhere, but
to me it is not the solution. With
health and good habits, and the

in America are as good as they
ever were. The man who is al
ways complaining that he has no
chance is the man who is himself
to blame"
