Cast Your No-License Vote.

There is no doubt that the sentiment
in favor OF no-license in Brattleboro is
equally as strong now as it was a year
ago, when the majority against license
was 33s, and the essential thing for main
tanning present conditions is that the no
license vote be polled next Tuesday.
1t is interesting to recall what the trend
Of Brattleboro public sentiment has been
since the license law was enacted in 1902,
This is the record for the four years:
March, 1906 majority against license. 33S
March, 1904, majority for license, 16
March, 1905, majority against license, 149
March, 1905, majority against license, 3Ss
That the trend is still strongly in the
same direction will be shown conclusiyely
If every man who wishes to see present
conditions continued takes care to cast
his no vote when he votes for town off,
GERS. The past year has been a banner
year in business prosperity and in general
community conditions in Brattleboro. The
| absence of saloons and the strict mainten-
ance of the no-license provisions of the
| law have beyond any question been an
important factor in the prosperity in
which everybody has shared. Remember,
therefore, your individual duty and cast
| your vote for no-license.
A separate ballot will be provided for
the vote for license or no-license, but it
| take this ballot and mark and cast II at
! the same time that he votes the ticket
| for town officers.

The Panama canal has cost TO date
about Sl2S 900 900. The first bill was $50
900 900, $40, 900. 900 to the French company
and SO. 900, 900 to the Republic of Pana-
ma. The first appropriation for plant and
work was $40 900, 600 and that was fol-
lowed at the beginning of this Congress
by an emergency appropriation OF $1l-
500, 900. The urgent deficiency bill Of last
spring furnished another $1,000 900, and
the regular sundry civil appropriation bill
of last year carried about $4,000, 900 for
canal work. The appropriation this year
is something less than $25. .000 900. The
latest reports from the isthmus are that
I'VE are just getting fairly started on the
digging" In January Of this year the ex-
cavation on the Culebra cut was about
$50 600 yards. Chief Engineer Stevens
has reported to Secretary Taft that for
March it would be 100000 yards. The
best the French ever did was 262, 900
yards in one month All Of the estimates
of time required cover at least eight
years. and from that they go on to twelve.
At this rate the total cost will be more
than twice the S1s5. 900, 900 given by the
last commission as the outside limit.

"shan We Tax wealth." is the title

Shall We Tax Wealth." is the title
given 10 an unusually interesting feature
OF the current number Of Smiths Maga-
zine. It consists of a symposium on the
much discussed topic Of the income tax,
and contains opinions from such widely
divergent personalities as Joseph Letter,
the millionaire, Hudson Maxim, the sci
enlist, and Gov Folk, the reformer. 1t
is of unusual interest for the insight IL
gives US into the personal views of many
of our prominent statesmen, f1ncnciers
and thinkers, and II is OF decided value
as the best possible gage Of public opin-
ion on this question. Besides this the
magazine contains a number of splendid
short stories and articles by such writ
ers as holman F. Day. Charles Battell
Loomis, Elmore Elliott Peake, Tom
Mason, Anne OHagan, Wallace Irwin,
Lillian Bell and Charles Garvice. 1t is
profusely illustrated, having a set OF 16
pictures of stage beauties and another
set OF eight full page pictures OF cats

CHANGE OF STATION AGENTS

J. II. Burke Retlres to Become the Pro-
prietOr and Manager Of Halls Restsu-
rant-E. J. Lavelle Succeeds to His Po-
sition.
j. II. Burke, for six years past the sta
tion agent at Bratteboro, retired from
that position last night and tomorrow
morning will take possession Of Halls
restaurant as its owner and manager He
will have everybqdy's cordial good wishes
for his success in a buEiness OF his own,
but there will be universal regret on the
part of all shippers and receivers OF
freight in Brattleboro because he Is to
leave the railroad service lie has filled
an important and difficult place with un-
usual ability and to the acceptance Of
every customer Of the railroads, and by
his uniform courtesy and efforts to be OF
use he has won a fun measure of per-
sonal friendship and good will.
Mr.. Burkes service with the Central
Vermont railroad company has covered
period Of 90 years. For - years before
coming to Brattleboro he was the tele-
graph operator and assistant to the sta
ton agent at Essex Junction. He be-
came the company's agent at Brattleboro
Nov. l, 1900
That his services in difficult and try
ing place have been as satisfactory to the
railroads as to the people is shown by
the fact that since his resignation was
handed in he has received numerous let
ters from officials Of both the Central Yer
mont and Boston & Maine railroads ex-
pressing regret at his retirement
and telling him that his return to
the service at any time would be well
coined. He has bought a we'll established
business. which fills a positive need in
our community life, and we are glad that
Mr.. Burke is to remain a resident OF
Brattleboro under such favorable circum-
stances.
Since Mr. Burke became station agent
the salaries Of the employees under his di-
rection have been increased IS to S25 per
month each.
He will be succeeded as station agent
by Edward J. Lavelle who has grown up
from bOyhood in the railroad service in
Brattleboro. He was a clerk in the
freight Office for a long term and has
been the cashier for the past seven years
His training has been the best possible
for the office to which he has been pro-
NOTED. and he will doubtless prove him
self an active and capable man in the
place.

laureate address by President John c.

II was thirty three years OF ago

lawns and groves Our buildings have
increased from eight to twenty-four,
the curriculum from between fifty and
seventy courses to over two hundred
and the number of students from about
