DUTIES ARE SATISFACTORY.
Republicans, Democrats and Tobacco
Men Like Present Tariff On Tobacco.

NOV. 1o.-F rom TIE dl-
titude assumed by both Republican
and Democratic members of the
House ways and means committee at
today's hearing on the proposed re-
vision of the tariff it became evident
that there is general satisfaction with
the present duties on tobacco and to-
bacco manufactures.
The Democrats appear satisfied with
the presen. high rate on the ground that
tobacco is a product on which the gov
eminent should derive revenue While the
Republicans favor the present rates be-
cause they offer the protection desired by
the American tobacco interests Repre-
sentatives of the tobacco growers Of New
England, Florida and Georgia opposed
any change, cOntending that such action
would disturb conditions.
When Mr.. Floyd, chairman of the To-
bacco Board of Trade of the Connecticut
valley, was giving the committee inforna-
ton with regard to the various phases
of the Americas tobacco industries, Rep
resentative Griggs of Georgia asked if
the tobacco growers We're afraid Of free
trade with the Philippines.
''They certainly are" was Mr.. F'ioyd's
reply. "Borneo and Sumatra where the
tobacco industry is in the hands of the
Dutch, are so near the Philippines that
the Dutch tobacco growers would be able
to take their coolie labor to the Philip
pines and raise tobacco with labor that
costs but IS cents per day. which would
compete with cur TOBACCO when our labor
costs from, S1.5O to 81 a day.
81 would take our standing army to
keep these same growers of Sumatra
from, smuggling tobacco into one or more
of the 1900 islands in the Philippine
group" he added. "where they could
pack and ship it to this country free of

Criminal DISREGARD.

It is time that the deviltry which de.
velops under the guise OF Halloween fun
should b. stopped. and that the village Of
Ludlow should take steps to protect il.
self against the perpetrators of this
sort OF fun"
There's big difference between harm
less pranls, such as most OF us wink at
and smile about at special seasons OF
the year, and tricks which involve the
destruction Of private property and peril
TO life and limb The moving Of steps
from doorways out Of which persons may
walk at any time, and the placing OF
distractions across public paths are not
to be defined as fun; rather they are
criminal performances likely to result,
as was the ease last Saturday night, in
severe personal injury And such Grim
inal disregard of private rights may
wisely be met by summary treatment
when the responsible parties can be
located.
Iawlessness is the outcome. often. of
the lack Of discipline in the home It
is encouraged and abetted BY the lack Of
municipal oversight. Complaint OF Law
lessness would not be so frequently
heard in Ludlow if the village would
abandon its foolish no-polieeman policy
and take an up-to-date attitude on this
important question.--Ludlow Tribune.

TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION.
Broke Windows to Value Of $4,000 in
Montreal.

Montreal, Nov. o.--Half a ton Of DIV.
Mantle stored on seow belonging to
the Montreal harbor commission explod
on yesterday afternoon with roar
that was heard and a shock that was
felt all over the city. The scow was
moored alongside the guard pier, 2.
400 feet from the buildings fronting
on Commissioner street, but he con.
cussion was SO great that not a pane
OF glass was left intact in the building
on this street while buildings third
Of mile away from the water front
suffered more or less damage from
shattered windows.
4 peculiar feature was the way some
buildings entirely escaped while others
further away suffered severely. In the
Coristine building not whole pane Of
glass is left, while in the board Of trade
building next door only a few panes
were broken On st, Paul street, which
ia occupied by Wholesale ware houses,
hardly a pane of glass was left intact
and the entire police force was placed
on duty in the district until carpenters
could be secured and the windows
hloclSaded
A Waterman on a drill boat lying
alongside the dynamite scow saw
flames on board the scow shortly after
rcon, He jumped into a row boat and
managed to get away a safe distance
before the explosion occurred.
The loss from broken glass will
amount to at least $4,000.

e. E. Knots election forecast Of the
election would have been accurate had
Bryan received seventy odd more votes
than he did. The former Burlingtonian
and present Wizard Of Wall Street
gave Bryan 257 electoral votes.
James f. Burke Of this city wrote a
letter to the New York World and the
Boston Globe September 8, reviewing the
result of the Vermont election and clos
ing thus:
"In view of the above facts only one
conclusion can be drawn from the result
of last Tuesday, which is that most all
of the large and close states viii be
carried by the Democratic party, thereby
clearing foreshadowing the election of
that master pilot and peerless leader,
Hon. w. J. Bryan"

WHY Not7

Our Burlington contemporary, The
News, tries to read between the lines in
referring to our reference last week to
the criminal ward quarters at the state
hospital at Waterbury.
This, however, was farthest from our
intentions when we wrote the paragraph
which has aroused The News to the
point that it has termed te unfortunate
insane criminal vile vermin."
Now so long as the state institution
for the insane is located at Waterbury,
in cahgre of well know alienists, why
not construct suitable, safe quarters for
the criminal insane that may from time
to time, under the law, be sent to that
institution for observation and treat
ment?
The News does not want another state
prison built at Waterbury and neither
does The News and Citizen. nor does the
New and Citizen recommend the erection
Of another institution for the insane at
Windsor or Brattleboro.
Certainly cur Burlington contemporary
balievss that, even though displaying
criminal tendencies, the poor unfortunate
who is mentally dsrangsd ought to be
given proper treatment TO restore his
reason il medical skill can accomplish
such a thing.
If this be the case. then why not adj
minister this treatment at the state hos
pital at Waterbury,
Unless something is done along the
