Man,s Prelualee for eIaek clothes.

In opening an artistic dress exhibit
ton Mr.. Louis N. Parker, master Of
the recent Warwick pageant, said
there could be no doubt that the
clothes men wore We're foolish, says
the Pail Mall Gazette. He claimed
that as woman could array herself in
sympathetic colors and flowing folds,
the time had arrived when man should
be placed on equality with her, instead
Of the having to array himself in black
for dinner, the theater, funerals and
weddings He believed and hoped that
his pageants would do something to
sweep away the prejudice for black,
for It was q horrid custom On the part
Of civilization.

A Word for the Central.

The Central Vermont railroad gets
some pretty hard rubs these days.
Just now another road has refused 10
handle freight going over the Central
lines. There are probably good
reasons for much OF this severe
criticism OF this road. bat there is
also much criticism which Is unjust.
When anyone is down how easy it Is
TO say, ''sick 'em ?n There Is no one
factor in Vermont that has done
more to advertise the states attrac-
tions and bring the summer visitors
within our borders than the Central
Vermont railroad. Ii as much effort
was made to tell the good things this
road has done and will continue to do
for Vermont, as is being put forth to
tell what they have failed to do or
wrongly done, the goal of fair play,
which We all profess to stand for,
would be much nearer reached.

Some Of the towns are "setting

act requiring them to refund TO the
state the United States deposit money,
or TO pay TO the state interest thereon,
il they continue TO hold il. What the
precise grounds for refusal are we
have not seen stated. The money, or
income, is wanted for the permanent
public school fund. The state re-
ceived the windfall back in 1886 from
the federal government, which was
then troubled with a surplus. The
state pays no interest on it, but the
federal government may call it in at
any time-though it never will. The
state provided for the division and re-
division at census periods OF the
money among the towns according to
population, prescribed the rate of in
tereSt that il should earn, and directed
that the income should be used within
the towns Tor public school purposes.
1t was in no sense a gilt to the towns,
but was money loaned to them. which
they could take or not, as they saw
fit In fact, we believe some OF it was
never taken. There has been frequent
legislation by the state since concern
ing this money, and no question has
heretofore been raised as to its being
the property of the state-subject to
call IRON Washington. If it is the
states money, why has not the state
power to call it in when it pleases?
Under the new act, this is not done d.
rectlY, in the numerous cases where
the towns still hold the money or pay
interest to themselves thereon, but the
rate OF interest is fixed at point
where 1t is more economical tor the
towns to repay it. We doubt whether
any town will have the temerity to re-
fuse payment of principal or income,
as the case demands. If so, the state
will undertake TO collect.
