The Vermont savings banks and trust

ences over the rate OF interest they will
paw depositors, and the question viii not

Several of the larger and more prosperous
state banks have been paying four per
cent for the past two years. Smaller and
less forehanded banks have followed suit,
In order to maintain their deposits and
standing before the public, but it has
been at the expense Of their surplus, or OF
their stockhoIders-a condition that
could not continue indefinitely without
serious results. So there was Ret-to-
gether meeting of bankers at Montpelier
last week and all hands agreed to so back
to three and one-half per cent.

Democratic procIivities and swung back
to the Republican side good and hard. |
Connecticut, which Cleveland carried
twice. gave whoppine big Republican
majority. There was, in fact, not sign
OF wavering from the double hump Of
Maine to the Sound; nothing doing for
the Democrats.
New York--ahl there's a state. It had
chance to fall down and do the wrong
thing. But it didn't. Not only did Taft
get majority rising 100000. part OF
which was contributed BY that erstwhile
rock-ribbcd Democratic center, Greater
New York, but, equally good, the state
gave a splendid endorsement to its Young
David, the Hon. Charles z. Hughes New
York stands thoroughly established in
principle by this outcome, and popular
suffrage is once more vindicated in q SUI
prsme test. A defeat for Hughes-not'
because it was Hughes, but because of the
things he has done and others that he
stood for-would have saddened the Joy
of every Republican the country over in
the midst Of a national triumph. It was
freely predicted that this would be the
outcome. but the elements that conspired
for Hughes downfall did not understand
the man, nor did they estimate the
strength Of honest public opinion, once it
is aroused. Hughes is national figure
now. and II all goes well, he stands in
line to. succeed Taft as president at the
end of four or eight years. Plat viii
soon retire from the Senate, and New
York may choose such a strong man as
Elihu Root, or even Roosevelt himself, as
a successor; both are freely talked Of.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania each
added many thousands to Taft's popular
lead. The former has now no Democrat
io lsanings that are observable.
The group of Central states, Ohio, In
disna, Illinois, Iowa. Minnesota, wiscon-
sin and Michigan, proved something of 9
surprise. All went Republican on the
national ticket. but BY maiorities greatly
reduced from four years ago. Three Of
them chose Democratic governors this
year. Ohio, Indiana and Minnesota. In
the two former, state issues had much "a
do with thereault, while Governor John
sons personal strength and popularity in
Minnesota again broke down party lines

cause for satisfaction in his showing a

The House took the right stand on the
Champlain tercentenary bill II the state
is to do anything, it ought to do some
thing, and s25, 900 is not too much to
spend. It may be that Vermont has been
rather dragged into this thing unwit-
tingly. The act of two years ago estab-
lished commission to confer with the
New York, Canadian and United States
governments and to invite their partici-
patton in g celebration. 1t did not
definitely commit Vermont herself, but
to all interests and purposes such was the
case. Having taken the initiative, it
would never do for Vermont to go back
on the whole thing now. The time to
have opposed was in 1905. Nor should
we be niggardly, but let it be done hand
someIy, so that, for once, we can look
with some degree of satisfaction on an
expenditure for purpose of this kind.

The Island Pond Herald is inclined to
think that speed is such vital element
in the preparation Of a grand list that it
would be impractical to have taxpayers
claiming offsets appear personally before
the board of listers for examination. We
think otherwise. It would mot require
many days for the largest city to follow
this plan, nor many hours for the small
est town. There would be a gain in
time saved when the listers make their
rounds that would go some distance
toward making up for the loss resulting.

girls in green draperies, carrying
foamwreaths in their hands, their
costumes ranging from palest to-
deepest green. These waves advance
over the campus in a series OF undu-
.lating motions, breaking into curl
ing white crests. From among these
waves leap water nymphs, coming
to gather flowers along the shore,
and with them Persephone, their
queen, to whom they bring flowers,
Persephone, clad in white with gir-l
die of gold and with golden fillets
in her flowing hair, unsatisfied,
seeks other flowers, sees the amar-

From out the under world dashes
Pluto, a dark purple costumed fig
ure, who, taking advantage of Per-
sephone's having picked the mystic
flower, bears her, half willing, half
reluctant, away, amid the wild eX-
ultant dancing of his hordes of fol-
lowers, maze of purple.
Persephone's nymphs, terrified by
the strange wild folk and the disap-
pearance of Persephone, go forth to|
