The Reason for Il.

A Boston newspaper gives three coli
umns on its first page 10 q picture Of a
woman OF that city who Ii about to be
married, and proudly proclaims il as the
"6rst photograph ever published Of the
expectant bride And should not have
been published at al, unless some phil.
osopher Of Modern Athens can show the
barbarians that Il truly has any such
proportionate news value, on any genu-
inc news value whatever An announce
ment Of valuable aid to the study Of
surgery by students not always able
to attend operating clinics fell into four
lines on the second page Of the same
issue
OF course, it is Of no account to the
Boston brethren what Vermont newspa.
pers think OF say about such methods,
but 1t is Of account TO Vermont news
papers to contrast their policy with this
practice, because, if a daily newspaper
In this state should 50 ludierously per-
vert an intelligent nee Of news proper
ton and value in one month as some
OF these papers do IN day, It would
lose most of its readers before the mis-
chief was half done
What Is the moral! Simply the old
one that wise men all over che land have
long known and frequently proclaimed:
That the best thought and wisest iudg
ment on current public affairs Is formed
outside the great cities and that the
influence Of the so-ealled country press
and the country people upon public af
fairs Is vastly greater than that Of the
mRfronolis pefhar- one af the reasons
for it y this very same diainelination ta
stand everything on its head in the
newspapers.-St. Adams Messenger.

TROUT FISHING CHECKED.
Though Season Opens in windham
County Earlier Than Usual.

Brattleboro, April Yesterday
marked the opening Of the trout fishing
season in Windham county, but the
rains this week have swollen the banks
washing in sand and dirt. and besides
the weather is too cold for good fishing.
The fishermen staid at home By a
special act Of the last legislature the
open season for trout in this county
was advanced ono month, making it
begin earlier than in any other county
ia the state.
This was secured only after several
years Of agitation and was enacted with
some misgivings by tbe legislature. Peo-
PIE Ia other parts Of the state thought
Windham county was getting an ad-
vantage, but tie fishermen wanted the
season open under conditions which
would prevent stripping the brooks IN
few days, which often happened when
the season did not open until May IS.

The late Rodney @ Abel Of Fair
Haven had notable record in length
OF service as q legislator III Vermont,
having been elected to the House Of
Representatives no less than dozen
times between. and including, the years
1850 and 1900, and in one Of the "off"
years when not in the House having been
elected senator from Rutland county.
Probably in recent years no man has
equalled this record BY Father Abell,
as he was called about the State House,
and, indeed, few men are so constituted
as to be able to command the votes Of
their townsmen year after year or term
after term for this office Of town repre-
sentative. But Father" Abel seems to
have been quite remarkable man in
this respect, for, in addition to having
served 90 long in the state Legislature,
be had been elected to about every office
in his town, besides having other official
preferment thrust upon him.

board Of trade, an organization in which
all parties can unite to work to promote
those matters that are Of interest to every
one Of US. Much IN the past has been
accomplished through tho efforts Of some
one organization or a few individuals,
as ia the case Of The exhibit Of Barres
products at the St. Louis Worlds fair,
for which special corporation was or
gauized, but in which many Of our citi-
zens participated; or the new federal
building secured through the efforts Of
a committee Of citizens appointed by the
late Mayor J. Henry Jackson; or the
new railroad station which was secured
through the work Of less than a half
dozen men, who bore az the expenses
incident thereto, or the city hospital,
started through the efforts Of less than
a score Of men, These things have been
accomplished BY individual effort but
they might have been better accom-
pished, perhaps. through an organization
which could eentralize and concentrate
its efforts
II is with this idea IN view that a
board Of trade Is proposed There are
many things to which it could direct lie
efforts, and bring about results where
individual effort would fail. We need
better street ear service, for one thing;
we need more motive power, II the city
is to continue to grow; We need hotel
commensurate with the eity's sizes we
need more direct railroad communication
with New York and the middle Atlantic
states; We want more stone plants and
we want a portion Of the business Of
furnishing building stone. United ef
forts can secure all these things, and it
is hoped at the next meeting to be held
for the organization Of board Of trade,
next Tuesday evening in the Manufae-
turers' rooms, there win he an attend

The fact that two weekly newspapers
in Vermont have gone out Of existence
within few weeks does not indicate
that the day Of the weekly newspaper
Is past in Vermont; but it does indicate
That the weekly newspaper must have a
good field and maintain a very interest

Of weekly newspapers IN the state will
take this az a direct compliment to them
selves, as it is intended. The average
Of the weekly newspaper in Vermont Is
very high, indeed.

After studying wrecks for several
years, the members Of the Vermont
public service commission got a little
sirst.hand information when the engine
St. Lawrence OF their train ploughed
INTO a landslide on the Central Vermont
rack at Roxbury and was wrecked.
Therefore, they viii be their own wit
nesses when the accident is officially
considered II it be considered. Chair
man Redmond Of the commission seems
to have made immediate report for he
commends the engineer most highly for
his quiclness Of action in slowing down
his train, signaling the tlagman, etc.
In fact, it was what might be consider
ed model wreck, framed up for the
act and carried out like the final dress
rehearsal, 1t is to be noted. too, that
the scene was again laid at Roxbury, the
great wreck center for the Central Yer
mont railroad.

ORGANIZED EFFORT no HELP
BARRE

Much Of Barre's growth and progress
has been due to organization and concen-
tration. Perhaps the most notable ex.
ample is that Of the Granite Cutters
union It is the Oldest and the largest
organization Other examples are the
Granite Manufacturers association, the
Quarry Owners association. the Mer.
chants association, The Clerks union and
all the other unions, and tho Civic Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs. Each has
worked for better conditions and better
returns IN its particular field An these
efforts have been Of benefit to the city.
but aside FROM the Civic Federation none
has had the avowed purpose Of working
Tor the municipal welfare. TO fiji This
vacancy it is proposed to organize local

The frightful accident in the West
Pawlet slate quarry Monday seems TO
have been one 81 those calamities that
ordinary human foresight could not have
prevented, The owners Of the quarry,
Owen Brothers, have reputation for
being exceedingly careful operators, re-
gardful Of the safety and welfare Of
their employees. The accident Is simply
another proof Of the fact that quarriying

Three Washington county towns are
given special mention BY State Highway
Commissioner Gates for their activity
IN securing good roads. They are Wood
bury, Duxbury and Northfeld, the first
two Of which were especially commended
because they are already heavily bur-
dened with debt and taxation, yet have
voted the limit under the state law
which gives towns from the state treas
ury as much as they vote, up to $500.
Nevertheless, let not the other seventeen
towns and cities in the county feel de-
pressed, but let them continue to bend
their e1orts toward improving their
highways, praise or no praise from the
state highway commissioner.

One or two autoists have lived up 70
their promise, made last fall, to run their
machines All winter up here IN this Wig
orous cline, and many were the bits of
sarcasm that they have had thrown at
them. But they persisted and have had
the satisfaction Of knowing that they
have in part captured Old Winter himself
with his several feet Of snow. OF course,
there were days now and then when they
did not take out their machines. but the
autos have been in commission at all
times ready for service
One Of the disadvantages Of owning
an automobile IN northern Vermont Is
the inability to use il with any pleasure
during considerable season from De.
cember 70 April; but II the talk Of the
enthusiasts amounts to anything, we
shall see autos running on snow path
all winter By another season.
