1.-THE present Congress will have
at least one hundred new members
and Senators to break in. Governor
Glenn might aid them some on this
line as soon as he fluids the Commit

North Carolina Railroad"
Possibly if the Governor would
advertise for the lost report 1t might
aid him In locating the document.
This paper has offered to publish
such advertisement free of charge.
The Union Republican has made the
same proposition, and we feel sure
the Mercury would also publish such
an advertisement free of charge.
Why not advertise for the report?

The future of the Y. NJ. c. A. was dis

ing basis.
The events of the past week, since the
departure of Secretary c. F. w. Cum
ningham to his new position in Paw
tucket, r. l., made it evident that some
course of action should be decided upon
at once. committee consisting OF E.
c. Crosby, w. 4. Gilbert and S. w. Ed
gett was appointed to arrange a meeting
of representative men, both those con-
nected with the association and those out
side in which the situation could be dis
cussed frankly and a decision made as to
whether the association should close and
go out of business. This meeting will
probably be held some night next week
II the representative men feel that it
Is for the good of the town that the asso-
citation work should be continued and are
willing to stand back of it with money
and personal work a new start will be
taken but If il is the general opinion tAat
the need for the association work here is
not great enough to warrant the expendi
ture of considerable money to restore its
effectiveness, the association will be
closed oct l. The financial conditions
are such that an end could be made at
lHdt tne without leaving much of a debt
Since the departure of Secretary Cum
bingham the boys have run things to suit
themselves in the association rooms and
the public has been entertained and some
what disguised at the way they have
brought discredit on themselves and the
association. Large signs have been posted
on the doors among them signs advertis-
ing the sale of liquor and passers-by have
been RECALLED with the spectacle of youths
loafing about the doors or sitting in the
reading room with their feet on tables.
hats on their heads. smoking while they
read. In short it has become a loafng
place of pronounced type.
The directors realize that If a new start
Is to be made a leader of strong person
atty and well trained in the work must
be secured. Such men are not plentiful
and salary somewhat larger than has
been paid will have to be promised to Sc
cure such man. 1t is a hard problem
which confronts the directors and they
wish to get a general consensus Of opin-
ion from leading men in the town before
they make decision. The directors
meeting was well attended and all ex-
pressed willingness to do their part in
whatever was undertaken.

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
planetary remarks in regard to the
management OF that institution;
Eighteen years ago the Iamoille
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 prospered
IN the fun light of publicity, but some
thing besides printers ink has made It a
success. Since its beginning it has never
loaned dollar outside of Vermont, and
1t has record of never having lost a dol
lar by poor investment. Publicity can
do much, but nothing but good manage
ment can keep any institution on its feet
for any length of time, fact that seems
to be well demonstrated in the case of
the Hyde Park institution.
The success of this bank Is very we'll
known to Nermonters. They learn that
its assets passed the million dollar mark
July IL, and are not likely to forget that
eN-Gov. Page is prominently connected
with it, And why shouldn't he make a
fuss over it? He was the first to estab-
fish bank for the handling of Vermont
business exclusively, and having made IT
one of the strongest and safest institu-
lions in the state, he is in a position
where such modesty would be most I'M
becoming.
