vention, though it may be remarked IN
parenthesis that tile progressive news
papers Of Vermont are talking about the
platform, Though not using that word
as continuous performance through
out the years--that Is, discussing The
principles Of highest utility for party
and state But it seems to rs that our
state exchanges, II they really mean
business and are not talking merely Tor
effect, would do well to select planks
for the platform on which there Is actual
or potential agreement. 1t IS not to be
expected that state convention would
insert coneroverted points III its deela
ration Of principles-or ii it did stulify
itself BY adopting a platform that hall
its members did not believe in, that it
would settle anything in any decisive
way. Yet the planks offered at this
time for Incorporation in the platform,
to the best OF cur remembrance, relate
to disputed questions These questions
may Wen be discussed. but when it
comes to asking that they be embodied

A national convention IL on should be
a deliberative body. Its members can
not well deliberate when tied to hard

to attempt to forestall the action Of the
convention, and such an attempt, before

unwise in extreme. Vermont undoubt-

SOURCES or uNsKMLEp LABOR.


In the report Of Frank J, sheridan Of
the federal bureau Of labor, there is a
very interesting Study 81 the source Of
unskilled labor in the United States.
The Concord Monitor summarizes it as
follows:
He finds that Italy, Austria Hungary
and the Slavic countries Of eastern En-
rope are at the present time the princi-
pal sources 81 Tie nuskilled labor supply
Of the United States, more than two.
thirds Of al the immigrants now enter
ing the country coming from there eoun-
tries. Italy contributes about oneifogrth
and Austria. Hungary and the Slavic
countries Of eastern Europe something
over two-fifths Of our immigrants, This
latter group includes the Jews from east
ern Europe. who, while not slays. eco
nomicalIy and industrially represent the
same classes
About half the unslilled laborers com
ing from these countries had previously
been at work as farmers or farm labor.
ers After their arrival in the United
States, however. they DO not seek en-
ployment in agriculture partly because
Of the difficulties in The way of securing
It, but mainly because Of the higher rate
Of wages in other industries. In trans
portation, manufacturing, mining and in
building The demand for common labor
has been very great
The Italian immigrant shows a marked
preference for railroad construction, tun-
mel building, grading, ditching. building
excavation and work III factory indus
tries, while the Slav and the Hungarian
turn to those industries where the pay
is somewhat higher and the work some,
what heavier wher strong men are re-
quired, as in blast furnaces, iron and
steel works, iron ore handling and coal
mining. Large numbers Of the immi
grants seek work and are distributed
through employment agencies, but the
great mass, through information derived
from relatives and friends 20 directly
to the state where wages are highest and
their services are in greatest demand.
Thus in 1906 1882 per cent. Of all immi-
grants entering the United States during
the year and $3.50 per cent. Of the Ital-
ian, Slavic and Hungarian immigrants
went to seven states, New York, Penn
sylvania. lllinoi. New Jersey, Massachu-
setts, Ohio and Connecticut the states
where the demands Of industry were
expressed in terms Of the highest wages,

man was arrested Tuesday for burglar

MASSACHUSETTS IN LIMBos, TOO

MASSACHUSETTS, IN LIAIBOSs TOO.
Massachusetts, too, like Vermont, is
in the limbos regarding the sale Of its
state building at the jamestown exposi
ton, and can't dispose Of the structure
until the title TO the land on which 1t
rests is validated. This we learn from
the Springfield Republican, which says,
"The Massachusetts building at the
late jamestown exposition has not been
sold, because Of the confusion into which
the affairs Of that unhappy enterprise
have been thrown. II appears that Mas
sachusetts, like other states, must Sc
cure valuation OF its title to the land
on which its building stands before that
ran be disposed of. The commissioners
of various states recently met in Wash
ington to discuss the legal status in
volved. Arthur Lord represented this
commonwealth, and on his motion reso-
luton was adopted requesting the rel
eeivers Of the exposition to apply to the
court for an extension Of the options
held by the states, which expire March |,
to 30 days from The date Of the decree
allowing the receivers to validate title
to the land. Mr.. lord believes that
Massachusetts win shortly be in position
to dispose Of her building"
BY that time, too, Vermont should be
in position to realize something on
this poor business venture.

OvERSToCKING MEDICAL
PROFESSION

The announcement that thirteen grad
yates of medical colleges have passed
the examinations OF the Vermont state
board of medical registration enabling
them to practice their profession in Ver-
mont brings up the old question Of
whether the profession is overstocked
Some people win aver that there are too
many doctors already, and probably none
will be more prompt in stating it than
the doctors themselves IT Il possible
that certain cities on certain sections
have plethora Of pill and powder dis
pensers, surgeons. etc, but as a general
principle there are not too many. There
is sort Of demand and supply in this
matter as well a. il 20 many other
instances III human affairs. II there are
either too many or too few medical
practitioners, things viii adjust them
selves to the mean average RI the de-
mands exceeds the supply. then the va.
cancies will soon be filled by newcomers.
If, on the other hand, there is not sufi-
cient practice for al, then the surplus
will needs seeks new and less crowded
fields, or enter other occupations
It would seem, however, that just at
present there are not too many physi
