He stated further that there were

the possibilities Of the proposed cleo

general way that he was very con-
fident the present plans would de-
velop in the early building Of the

Il do not believe there is any one
kind Of investment" said Mr. Ander-
son, that will develop given com
munity more rapidly Or more thor
onghly than electric railways, broadly
speaking. 1t is one Of the essential
agencies Of any modern community
No rural or suburban district can be
developed to the extent Of its fullest
possibilities without electric lines and

great deal more business than they
plan to have in the beginning.

Not long ago fire broke out in the
city OF Marsovan, Turkey, the home of
Anatolia College, a fine educational
institution for boys supported by the
American Board. The difference in dis
ciplne and efficiency between the native
fire department and the voluntary work
of the students made deep impression
upon those who witnessed the contlagra-
ton. When the alarm sounded at two
O'Clock in the morning, the Turkish fire
men started with a small hand machine
across the city, making a terrific noise
with blowing trumpets. Somewhat
later the BOYS from Anatolia College set
out with little old engine and an out
fit of tin buckets, used on the mission
premises. 1t was slow process to
reach the scene over pitching streets and
Asiatic cobble stones, but the boys were
there ahead of the fire brigade, and their
jet was doing its work before the city
pump had found connections. After an
hours fight the flames were extnguished,
a neighbOring mosque was saved and a
general cOntiagration avoided Then the
boys gathered up their tackle, gave three
lusty cheers for Anatolia, and trotted
home to bed in martial order. All that
time the city engine lay useless, while the
municipal hremen ran around the streets
borrowing tins and tubs to carry water
to their engine, having neglected to pro.
vide buckets If a river had been flowing
before the building they could have done
nothing but dip water with their tezes.
The next morning people in the market
place talked in excited tones about the
student brigade. They said, We
thought people had to have engines to
put out fires. but we see it is done with
tin buckets" They were loud in their
praises of the discipline and order main
tanned by the students, and of the
splendid way they met an emergency.
There are more serious emergencies than
fires in the land OF the sultan just at
present, and our American Christian
schools and colleges are turning out the
right sort of young men to meet them.
American friendship shown to Turkey at
this crisis in her history is likely to bring
as rich rewards as it has in Japan. In
what better way can we express this
friendship than by supporting colleges
like Anatolia2

A Better ST. JOhnSbury.

1t was an inspiring sight and cause for
hopefuness in the moral uplift of our
town to see $50 men at the mems
meeting in Grace Methodist church Sun
day night. The very presence of so
many men, and they thoroughly repre-
sentative, assembled for the purposes
outlined by the Brotherhood shows that
our town means to stand for what is
best in civic and social Righteousness,
that what is not for the moral and
manly uplift will have short shift in our
midst.
1t is true what a great statesman said
not long since that THE people can have
in a country like ours Just what they
want" If the number of men present
last Sunday and the interest manifested
mean anything, it can justly be con-
cluded that St. Johnsbury will not toler-
ate what is low or demoralizing, but
will in every possible way stand by the
right and will make it just as easy as
possible to do right and as difficult as
possible to do wrong. In other words,
the creed of St. Johnsbury, as far as the
Brotherhood of Men is concerned is "A
Better St. Johnsbury."

Judge StaffOrd'S Decision.

Our distinguished fellow townsman,
Judge Wendell p. Stafford, has just
rendered decision in damage case in
the supreme court Of the District of
Columbia. Aside from the law involved
in the decision the case is attracting wide
attention by Judge Staffords apt
Scripture quotation. The Associated
Press gives the following summary of
the case:
How much, then, is man better than
a Sheep" The reb ike of Christ to the
Pharisees is cited in a rebuke to the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co. in a
decision by Justice Wendell p. Stafford
sustaining a demurrer by F. L. olden-
stein, injured in service of the company
to the company's plea that he had
bartered away his right to damages by
accepting relief benefit.
The court rules that the railroad can
not avoid its liability to an employee
under the employers liability act by
pleading that the employee contracted
before entering employment that he was
to receive only certain damages in event
of injury. The court held that contracts
of indemnity insurance and of relief bene-
fits are an attempt of employers to re-
strict their common law liability.

The White WOman'S Burden.

The sort of troubles women will have
to conquer, when they march shoulder
to shoulder with men in the worlds
affairs, is exemplifed in the opening
article of the January Harper's Maya
zine. Miss Annie S. Peck, a really re-
markable mountain-climber, tells the
story of her conquest of Mount Huasca-
ran, in Peru, under conditions that
might fairly daunt the most powerful
man She was obliged to climb in COM
pany only with her guides and helpers,
who were of course all men. In reading
the article one is struck forcibly by the
tremendous handicap under which this
woman worked: the diffiulty she met in
exerting her authority over the men.
Although she knew, from actual exper-
fence in Peru, more about the climb than
the native Indians or the Swiss guides
who helped her and were paid bv her, it
was well-nigh impossible for her to i'm
press upon them her special knowledge
and capacity.

Do your shopping in the morning,
That's the early Christmas warning;
Thus it is you miss the rushing,
Crowding, tanning, showing, crushing,
Kicking, scrapping, swearing, growing,
Slamming, slapping, banging, scowling,

Incident to Christmas shopping.
Do your shopping in the morning;
That's the Christmas shopping warning;
That's the message they are sending
Out to all who may be spending

And there really Is reason.

Did their shopping in the morning
Say, wouldn't it be nicer dropping
In of afternoons for shopping?

And where a wilderness had been
There grew bumper crop.
Then Mary rented out her land

For prices still to grow.
They grew as population came,
And Mary raised the rent.
With common food and raiment now,
She could not be content
She built her up a mansi On fine

And every time the prices rose
She raised the rent some more.

Cutting Of Christmas Trees.

In some way the legislature should see
to it that Vermont gets proper reimburse
ment for the hundreds of thousands of
Christmas trees cut from its wood lands
every year. The dealers in the cities get
dollars for these trees where the growers
get pennies-and this isn't fair. A fair
division of the profits on this business is
all that Vermont farmers ask Rut-
