No Help for Idaho and Wyoming Here.
1t is the habit in the West to say that
New England is so fortunate as to pos
sess more women than men. Vermont
II this be true Of the rest Of New Eng
lands an exception In 1900 the popu-
lation Of the state was 343,6 cal, of whom
l75,lSS We're males and 165, 503 females.
1t is therefore vain for the surplus bache-
lors Of Idaho and Wyoming to call upon
Vermont for relief. $50 years ago Yer
mont was the hunting ground of Indian
tribes; in 1900 there were but five red
men in the state. There We're a ,747 persons
of foreign birth, and S26 negroes. In the
same year there were 169,076 native Yer
monters living in other states and 24Sl30
born and living in Vermont. Something
seems to be the matter with the birth rate
among native Nermonters, for their total
was smaller in 1900 than in 1890 and in
1890 than in 1880
Considered as a whole, Nermonters are
fairly to be congratulated upon their
birth in a state so sturdy and so beau
tiful, and upon the qualities they ac-
quire from the environment, these being
the qualities that have carried and still
carry them to healthy success in all the
other states. Unlike New Hampshire
again, Nermonters have given more at
tenton to developing home industries
than to inn keeping, although their state
is not less attractive to the summer
visitor than New Hampshire. In this
way Vermont has perhaps overlooked a
large revenue which. she might enjoy
but she does not seem to miss it.
At the hazard of being called unkind,
/ wish to pursue to its logical conclusion,
i'm this final fact, the contrast between
the arstocratic antecedents and ideals
of New Hampshire and the democratic
one, in the presence of declining for
tunes, resorting to the taking in of board
ers-an honorable occupation and not to
be sneered at; the other, of harder
fibre, compelling new fortunes from her
own sOil.-[New England Magazine.

Four Reasons for Savings Bank
Prosperity

The ST, Johnsbury Republican gives
four reasons for the prosperity of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank 1t says:
The Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Company of Hyde Park, of which
eX-Gov. Carroll S. Page Is president,
passed the milion-do mark in assets
on Thursday July 18th.
This bank is Gov. Pages pet.
This bank is Gov Pages pride.
This bank pays its depositors four per
cent.
This bank invests its funds in Vermont.
Here are four reasons why this bank
has prospered; why it never lost a dollar
on poor loan and why it is in a posi-
ton to be congratulated.
This bank pays per cent compounded
sem-annually on deposits of 500 or
more.

A. Glimpse into the Future Of Hleher
Education.

With the leaven thus working among
professional educators, and the average
citizens advancing conception of the
STATE duty TO its members, it is likely
that the next generation will see not one
but many states engaged to provide for
all their youth a complete free college
education, with such special Industrial
education as may be sought by students
whose chief talent is in that direction
Already we perceive the desire of the
larger universities to become POSTCARD
uate schools, leaving undergraduate work
for the state univeTsities-in the West
at any rate. The educational work of
the future may possibly be divided along
these lines, the state undertaking to car
ry the youth through primary, secondary
ana college courses, and the lavishly
endowed private observation-disclosures
Yale, Princeton, Chicago, etc.-affording
opportunities for more advanced work
Some Thoughts Suggested by Figures
Now let us look at some figures: YER
mont has 9,135 square miles of land area.
She has 24S hills and mountains more
than 1000 feet in height She has $50
licensed automobiles and $50, 000, 900 of
deposits in her savings banks and trust
companies. There are las, 900 depositors
or more than third of the states en-
tire population. The average of the de-
posits is $342. There are PCS public IL
brarles and nine daily papers. And by
the way, it is not the custom in Vermont
Tor politicians to carry the newspaper
editors in their vest pockets, New Hamp-
shire fashion. Vermont is fond of mar
tial music and supports 65 brass bands
The old-fashioned Fourth of July is
still in favor in the Green Mountain
state, with the reading of the Declara-
tton, theblaring of the bands, and all the
rest OF the time-honored program. Ike
ligiously, Vermont continues to favor
Congregationalism, with 21O churches,
Methodism being second with 1S9, and
the Baptists third, with SO. The Episco-
palians have Go and the Universalists
are somehow Unexpectedly strong with
40 congregations The Roman Catholics
have SO churches with 70 priests and
$1,000 adherents. The Christian Science

TRAFFIC AGENTS END
THEIR TAHOE OUTING
Jolly Party Passes Through
Truckee on It's Way to
This CITY
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

TRUCKEE, June 2.-After a two
days outing 200 members of the Cali
fornia association of traffic agents,
with an equal number of their rela-
tives-as congenial and jolly crowd
of fellows as ever sold a ticket or
checked waybil1 and as handsome a
coterie of ladies as ever graced Pull
man-passed through Truckee at s
o'clock tonight on their way back to
San Francisco
The outing has been a complete sue
cess from the start, from both rail-
road and social standpoint. Begin
ming with a record breaking run from
San Francisco to Truckee, smashing
into the best overland time by 56 min
utes, it has proceeded pleasantly and
will long be remembered in railway
history.
Lake Tahoe was the place chosen by
the traffic agents for their jolliication
this year. They received the open
explored the beauties of the lake conn-
try as far south as Tallac. With fish,
ing, boating and dancing the two days
passed all too quickly, and now that
the party is bound for home the only
regret is that the time could not have
been stretched to week. The traffic
men found all things prepared for them
right along the line, both over the
Southern Pacific and the Lake Tahoe
railway. Everything made way for
the men who make railroad travel easy
for other people. The outing had been
arranged in all its details by President
Z. e. Wade of the association. chief
clerk of the passenger department OF
the Southern Pacific, and Secretary
George G. Fraser. district passenger
agent of the Chicago Great Western
railway. Rousing cheers, which
awakened the echoes of old Truckee,
testified to the appreciation on the
part of the big party of the efforts Of
these men to make the affair a sue
cess.
In order that the outing may be
properly chronicied. numerous photo
graphs were taken and will be used
as moving pictures when next the
association entertains its friends in
San Francisco.
