SOUTH VERNON.
Something More About Those Much
Discussed Grade Crossings.

About two years ago f. X. Turner, G.
| III. lnnis and g. w. Hazelton were APP
pointed by the superior court commits
sioners to settle the grade crossings and
new depot question at and near South
Vernon. The old station itself is in Yer
mont. The Central Vermont railroad,
the b. & NJ. Il. r., the town of North
field and the town of Vernon are the in
terested parties.
Aside from the consideration of plans,
very little has been accomplished, This
is largely due to the fact that Vermont,
at the last session Of her legislature,
changed her laws relative to grade
crossings, and legislated her old railroad
commissioners out of Office. This meant
that fresh start must be made. The
new railroad commissioners of Vermont
have not yet formally considered the
question and the town of Vernon is not
inclined to act, because under the new
law her share of the damages is likely
to be larger than it was under the old
law.
There are those who are hopeful that
another season will see the problem
solved. Others say that the solution is
a long distance off. In the meantime
the selectmen of Mortified are having
survey made on the west side of the
river, with view OF having the road
from the Schell bridge to the highway
between South Vernon and Bernardston
shortened half mile This is entirely
outside the station question. The field
work is practically completed and a plan
is now being made. The old route is
circutous.
4 There is a pressing need of shorter
route, but the railroad commissioners are
likely to insist that the crossings at
grade must be abolished when the road
Is changed. A suggestion has been made
that in changing the road as proposed
the cost would not be large to put an
underpass under the tracks of the Cen
trail Vermont railroad, which at the
point in question is in Massachusetts,

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

An effort is being made to resusci-
tate the press association which, in
the days when the interstate COM
merce laws were unknown and every
newspaper sported railroad passes that
permitted its owners to ride over the
country at their discretion, was the
pride Of Negro journalism. Mr.. Cy-
rus Field Adams, president of the as

cause why the organization has been
allowed to drift into Sunderland.
At one time the Negro Press Asso.
ciation-we are not sure of the name.
since The Globe is a youngster in the
journalistic arena-was a mighty or
g%anization. At least it made noise
enough to impress one with its great
powers, out since Mr.. Adams was
elected president and secured a gov.

PEELED to suffer in common with the
guilty.
There is less excuse for mob law in
the South, when a Negro is concerned,
than in any section of the United
States. All of the legal machinery is
In the hands of the whites and it is for
members of that race to say whether
any one accused of crime shall be ad-
judged guilty. And if there is a mis-
carriage Of justice, in nine hundred
and ninety-nine cases out of a thou
sand the Negro will not be the n to
benefit by 1t.
We need more men of the Carrollton
brand. We need more men of the
white South who not only believe that
e~ven-handed justice should be admin
istered to all persons accused of crime
and that the innocent should he pro.
tected, but men who will back up their
opinions by their actions. May the
Carrollton tribe increase until its ex'
ample will be emulated throughout

TEMPERANCE AND THE BREWER

The growth of the temperance
movement which at first was thought
to be a sporadic outbreak which would
soon run its course, has assumed such
enormous proportions that the manu-
~facturers of spurious liquors have be-
come fearful that their business will
be severely crippled if not wiped out.
To check the growth of temperance
legislation the manufacturers have adj
dressed themselves to removing some
of the most obnoxious features of the
open saloon: the wiping out of dives
and the compulsion of obedience by
the retail dealers of the Sunday clos
ing laws where these are in effect.
Last week the Ohio Brewers Asso-
citation announced that in the future
the members of the association would
refuse to sell to dives and to those
dealers who refuse to obey the Sun
day closing law where such laws are
in effect. They also intimated that
they would discourage the sale of in
toxicants to miners and habitual
drunkards. This was a wise on
the part of the Association fol it's own
protection. There is nothing that has
brought the saloon into such disrepute
as the continual violation of the laws
that have been enacted for its regula
ton and the making Of such places
the rendezvous where the worst ele
ment may congratulate and debauch
the morals of the young. What, fol
an example, is more disgusting, what
would make decent men feel more like
eliminating the whole liquor traffic
from the face of the earth than the or
giles that will be. permitted by the pc
lice during the Christmas week at tn
dives run by white men in certain sec
tions of this city?
The actions Of the Ohio Brewers AS
ISOLATION is worthy of emulation b,
the brewers who sell their product il
the South. While many men doub
the feasibility of absolute prohibitio'
they will be willing and will use thei
every effort to bring about such legiE
lation, unless the men who are mos
concerned financially remov the dive
and make it impossible for women an
children to frequent places where spi,
ituous liquors r sold.

day, I'm going to give you your tip in
a lump sum at the end of the month. :"
Oats all right, sah," replied the
darby; but l wondah If you would
mind payin' me in advance?"
We'll, it's rather a strange re-
quest" remarked the patron. How
ever, here's a five-dollar bill for you.

TOO MUCH POETRY WITH MENU.
Wicked Trick Played by Merry DAM
sells on Their Kind Hosts.

At one of the hotels a:e two young
men, continually looking for a good
time, says the Mexican Herald. At
the same hotel are two young ladies,
school teachers, but who are not liv-
ing up to the rules laid down for staid
school teachers while they are on
their vacation. The young men and
the school teachers became acquaint
ed and the young men rendered an in
vitation to dinner, which was duly ac-
cepted. AS both young ladies are
passably good looking, the young men
anticipated an agreeable evening.
Hardly had the four seated themselves
at the dinner table when the young
ladies started a discussion of the
poets. The discussion ranged through
the list from ancient to modern times,
the young ladies doing all the talking,
while the young men, being out of
their element, supplied an occasional
monosyllable to the conversation, and
all their efforts to turn the converse
ton to other channels proved fruit
less, One of their friends, happening
to see the party, says that the male
me-" bers presented a Misunderstanding
pic ire of distress. A few hours la
ter they were discovered at a convent
ent bar and it took a good many
drinks to revive them. Since then
they have had many inquiries about
poetry from sympathetic friends.

ONE LANGUAGE FOR ALL.
II Requires Mere sihan One Tongue

No living lauguage~can become to-
day the vehicle of intercourse tor the
whole civilized world. and it is alb
surd to look for such "a thing, says
McClure's. Tie acceptance of any
language. were it EnsRsh or French
or Spanish, German Or Dutch, Rus
sian or Japanese, would Immediately
not only crush theY pride of the
other nations but would give to the
favored people such an enormous ad-
vantage in the control of the political
world and such Unreasonable prefer
ence in the worlds market that no
healthy nation would consent to it be-
fore it's downfall.
For that reason the chances
were never worse; the spirit of siren
uous, yet friendly rivalry between the
nations in the markets of the world
was never more wide awake, and the
feeling of national honor was never
purer and nobler The more the hopes
for international arbitration become
realized, the more all nations of the
world become sincere friends; the
more they are eager and ought to be
eager to keep clear their own indi-
viduality, together with their own
rights and duties, their own successes
and responsibilities. Andrew Carne-
gie's liberality may build palace In
