A WeII-Manased Savings Bank.

The Woodstock Spirit of the Age, in
an editorial on the Hyde Park Savings
Bank, makes the following very COM
plimentary remarks in regard to the man
agement of that institution:
Eighteen years ago the Lamoille County
Savings Bank and Trust Co. of HYDE
Park, doomed by ex-Gov. Carroll S.
Page, and Of which he is president, was
organized. 1t has grown and pros
pered in the full light of publicity, but
something besides printers ink has made
it a success. Since its beginning it has
never loaned a dollar outside of Yer
mont, and it has record of never hay
ing lost a dollar by poor investment.
Publicity can do much, but nothing but
good management can keep any institu-
ton on its feet for any length of time, a
fact that seems to be well demonstrated
in the case of the Hyde Park institution.
The success of this bank is very well
known to Vermonters. They learn that
its assets passed. the million-dollar mark
July 18th, and are not likely to forget
that ex-Goy. Page is prominently con-
nected with it. And why shouldn't he
make fuss over it? He was the first to
establish a bank for the handling of Yer
mont business exclusively, and having
made it one of the strongest and safest
institutions in the state, he is in posi-
ton where much modesty would be
most unbecoming.

HUGHES AND CANNON.

, II was notable that the speeches of the
two presidential possibilities at Bluff
Point recently differed materially in their
undertone, Each was fairly reflective OF
the state OF mind of the speaker.
Cannon is complacent, He glories in
the greatness, the grandeur and the pros
perity of our country; believes it will
continue in its rosy path; ridicules proph-
ecies of coming disaster, and argues that
it will be easy to handle abuses that arise
without endangerlng the happy condi-
tiuns that exist. One gathered the i'm
preston that Cannon was almost an apol-
ogist for such ills as crop out, or at least
that they did not worry him bit in the
face of the general era of good things.
We always have a certain amount Of
wrong doing, he says, but we can take
care of it all right-and just see how big
and great and grand we arel
On the other hand, Hughes took up
some of the serious matters that confront
the government, federal and state. He
built an ideal of statecraft, in some re-
spects new, and so clear and pure as to
bring almost a new gospel of civic right
eousness to his hearers. He dwelt on the
i'll effects of legislation in behalf of spe-
cial interests, contrary to the interests Of
ha bnl lie -
the prostitution of official duty and honor
at the behest of alleged personal friend
ship dealt theoretically with a real evil
known to exist, but seldom dwelt on in
public. The whole tenor OF Hughes
talk was that it behooves every loyal citi-
zen and official to watch constantly lest
by some swerving from the path of duty
there shall follow a train of evil conse-
quences. There was no sign of compla-
cence in Hughes. He is evidently inn
pressed with the seriousness of high Off
cial station and cognizant of the tempta-
tions that beset the way of him who
would deal out justice to all, rich or poor.
! Somehow, comparing the two, it
seemed as if Hughes would not hesitate to
do battle in the breakers, if necessary,
while Cannon would choose drifting with
the current. True, the two speeches did
not deal with the same subject, but they
discovered the mental state OF each man,

Pure Drinks at Fairs.

No, dear reader, this is not plea for
license or tipping, but simply sugges-
ton that with our demand for pure food
let us insist on pure soft drinks. When
you go to fair or any celebration and
want some lemonade or soft drinks, pa
tronize the vender who has pure drinks
and whose soft drinks are bottled and not
dealt out to you from an old barrel OF
pail. Lemonade can be made as pure as
water itself, but the average vender OF
this much desired drink pays little atten.
ton to cleanliness either in its manufac.
ture or sale over counter. If you want
anything in this line insist on having
pure drinks and don't be satisfied until
you get it.-St. Johnsbury Caledonian.

The thriving village of Morrisville has
just accomplished a novel enterprise. 1t
has built big dam across the Lamoille
river, flooding an unsightly and swampy
area, Transforming it into nice lake of
100 acres, and at the same time storing up
large amount of power for manufacture
ing purposes. Such a combination of the
esthetic and practical is unusual, but why
not sensible? The lake will give camp
ing, boating and fishing facilities that will
in no way interfere with the turning of
wheels below the DAM. Other Vermont
towns have streams flowing near or
through them that might easily be used
in the same way. Morrisville is the
pioneer; what village will follow?

A SEATTLE SENSATION
PLANS FOR NEW BATTLESHIP
NEBRASKA STOLEN.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 21.-It was
learned yesterday that the plans for the
new battleship Nebraska, which show the
distribution of armor and batteries, have
been stolen from the desk of ]. H. Fox,
superintendent of construction at the Moran
Brothers yard in this city. The drawings
have been missing fifteen days. Today the
following notice was posted in the yard:
ITO Whom 1t May Concern: In reference
to the booklet of plans Of the Nebraska,
taken from Mr.. Fox's desk, notice is hereby
given that these plans must be returned
within two days or steps will be taken
toward their immediate recovery"
The battleship Nebraska is practically
completed and ready to be turned over to
the government About 500 men are now
at work giving the finishing touches. The
Nebraska was started before the Japanese
Russian war, and the ship has been changed
considerably. The fact that the plans are
missing and the peremptory language of
the notice are causing considerable excite
ment about the Moran yards.

THE BIRTHDAY SEASON.
RECORDS MAY BE WRONG
L SSERTIoN REGARDING RIFLES
USED AT BROWNSVILLE.
Hearing of Testimony to Be Resumed
by the Senate Military Affairs
Committee Tomorrow.

The mystery surrounding the Identified
ton of the bullets found in Brownsville on
the morning after that town was shot up
with the rifles from which they were fired
grows deeper as additional facts are de-
veloped.
The Senate committee on military affairs
has the report of the experts from the
Springfield arsenal who claim to have
Identified these guns beyond the possibility
of cavil.
On the head of that claim Senator For
aker came forward and boldly asserted that
he could dissipate the theories of the ex-
perts into thin air by proving an alibi for
the rifles. Testimony taken before the ex-
perts report was made public shows that
both Lieut.. Lawrason and Quartermaster
Sergt. McCurdy of Company B found two
of the rifles in the quartermaster's room
nailed down In boxes and stored beneath
pile Of iron cots. The records showed
that according to the numbers on these
guns they had never been issued to the
men. That appeared to be conclusive in
been used on the night of the 18th of
August for the purpose of shooting up
Brownsville.
Records Possibly Wrong.
Now on the top Of that apparently con-
elusive testimony comes the assertion on
the part Of those who hold fast to the ac-
curacy of the testimony Of the experts. to
the effect that they will place before the
committee on military affairs testimony
showing that at least In half a dozen in
stances the soldiers did not have the guns
that should have been in their possession
according to the records of the company. IN
other words, the records are to be attack
ed 30 far as they show who had possession
Of the rifles. 1t is declared that the rifles
that were in boxes in the storehouse as
indicated by the numbers on them, may
not have been there at all. They may have
been in the hands Of the members of Com
pany B. and the rifles credited to particular
soldiers may have been nailed down in the
boxes In the storehouse and buried be-
meath iron cots.
It is yet to be seen whether the rifles
that were in the box can be shown to have
the numbers the records give them.
1t is understood today that Thomas Tay
lor, private of Company B, whose rife of
record was identified by the experts as the
one from which were shot eleven of the
bullets, has been located, and it is expected
q summons will be served upon him in the
near future.
Private James L. Wilson had previously
been located at Joliet, ILL.,, and he will be
here.
The committee will meet tomorrow, and
both Taylor and Wilson may then be ex-
amined-
