Danger of a Deficit.

As their fearless habit is, the Randolph
Herald and the St Adams Messenger
have sounded notes of warning on the in
creasingly costly legislation and state gov
eminent of Vermont
The Herald says that the past assembly
practically exhausted the sources of in
direct revenue and the Messenger remarks
that, IF the present gait in appropria-
lions is to continue" we shall be con-
fronted with the need of a state tax,
This is the situation that made few
legislators pause in the various Greater
Vermont schemes that were preached
last fall and it is probably true that 1t
will need the most shrewd administra-
ton of our finances to prevent that pub
lie bugbear-a deficit.
Increased expenses of judiciary, schools
and highways are inevitable. The rev.
enue from the new taxation schemes Is
problematical. 1t well behOoves every
public servant of Vermont 10 count well
the cost of every transaction that means
money
deficit and state tax confront us
otherwise,

Although the Kaiser is thoroughly i'm

infallible even though the positiveness
with which he sometimes utters his opin-

pose so. AS soon, however as a different
opinion presented in attractive form and
based on sound reasoning is presented to
him, he Is always ready to modify his own

been called a Yankee on a throne, and he
himself expressed his appreciation Of the
energetic qualities of the American by
saying: Il can use only Americans for
my work" While fully imbued with the
strength OF his own powers, the Kaiser at
the same time realizes that one can always
learn new things. In military and naval
matters. however. he likes to be consider
ed an authority. The Kaiser has an eX-
cellent knowledge of men and a proper
appreciation of the realities Of life. bur
combined with these qualities feelings of

his friends and family. and is most kind
to those who are otherwise close to him,

William Pryor Letchworth will give at
his death the large estate which he owns
a. Portage, n. Y, to the state for a park
and museum. The estate embraces about
1000 acres, on which he has expended
$500 900. The land lies on both sides Of
the canyon of the upper Genesee river for
a distance of three miles north of Port
age bridge and embraces the three ia
nous Portage falls. These falls, with an
aggregate descent of $50 feet and the
canyon with walls rising $50 feet high
have been regarded as the greatest nat
ural curiosity in New York state, with the
exception of Niagara falls. The Portage
canyon and its formations were made the
subject of special study by Prof. James
Hall state geologist, in 1913, and the
beautiful exposures of rock gave rise to
the name, The Portage Group. The Por-
tage bridge, 500 feet long and 2S4 feet
high, spans the gorge on Mr.. Letchworth' s
estate.

home of Mr.. Kennedy, the biscuit mill
ionaire, and Maxwell Evarts, son of the
great lawyer, William NJ Evarts, and
himself high up in the profession at New

which used a loud steam whistle to call
the help together The whistle annoyed
Kennedy whose dctatorial ways had in
turn proved annoying to some others-so
the story goes; and he besought Evarts
TO have 1t removed The latter demuIred
TO the sacrifice of the means of sounding
the work hours TO the help. Finally, how
ever, Kennedy offered Evarts $1,000 to re-
move the whistle and drew his check for
the amount on the spot, and it was ac-
cepted. The whistle was taken off and
left i'm the mill office. One day soon after

whistle asked EvaIts what he would take
