YERMoNrs SECOND CRY.

Predictions that Barre will have sur.
passed Rutland in population by the time
another government census is taken seen
in fair way to be borne out by fact
Here for instance, are the assessors
returns, which show that Barre has a
larger taxable poll list than has Rutland
BY 54 polls, Barre's list being $3.50
while Rutland's is S,206. At the last
census ia 1900, Barre City's population
was given at s.44s, Rutland City's as
ll.4o9, q matter Of some three thousand
difference. In the former census year
Barre had taxable poll list Of 2,3l5
Using the ratio Of polls to population Of
the year 1900 as basis for comparison
we find that Barre's population at the
present time is approximately $4,000
the actual figures being a few short Of
that IF the ratio Of polls to population
IN Rutland is anywhere similar Il
Barre's, the population Of that city can
not be far from the estimated population
81 Barre at the present time. It may
run somewhat higher, and il would moi
be surprising if Rutland's poll list failed
to form an entirely accurate guage Of
It's population. However allowing fol
certain measure Of growth during tht
past nine years, Rutland cannot be mueF
larger than Barre. Her position as tn,
asecond city in the state as to popula
ton is very much in question at tn,

Page has the common sense to refrain
irons becoming human megaphone OF

correct in saying that his maiden speech
was confined to questions. The infalliblt

Judging by congressional standards, he
did make a speech--not hurl an assert,

IN connection with the argument over
highways and automobile traffic that u
being INDUCED in by the state papers
it may be Of interest 10 note That across
the line IN New York and Massachusetts
notices have been posted this year on
the state roads requesting the drivers
Of motor cars not to follow the track Of

each one will vary its track a trihe

and the entire roadbed viii be kept in
better condition Drivers Of teams on
dirt roads might wen profit from the
same lesson. One Of the meanest roads
especially in a clay district, Il where
one team has followed exactly in the
track OF others until narrow, crooked
ruts are formed which are dangerous
and disagreeahle for wheeled traffic Of
all kinds. Taking proper care Of what
we have is the first step toward inoreas-
ing our resources IN any line. The more

pairs the more there viii be available

porati0n tax measure, which had been
prepared in the form Of an amendment

angle Many changes from the form IN
which it was presented were suggested
and not a fcw Of these were declared 70
be wise.
The result was that the carefully pre-
pared copies which were given TO each

at the end Of the conference.

The police officers and sherifrs Of Rut-
land have introduced a novel feature in
their attempts to stop the Illegal sale Of
liquor. They searched one mans place
and when they failed to find any liquor
they seized upon the mans safe and ears-

in the course Of hunt for eontraband
goods. While zeal Is TO be generally
commended, It is doubtful If the best
Judgment was used in this case. Have
not private citizens, even though sus.
pected Of selling liquor, any power un-
der law to prevent such arbitrary action
Or shall we next be compelled TO give

pleases win Sen. paee.

We are pleased 70 see that Senator
Page Of Vermont broke away from the
endless dhain which has held a majority
Of the Senate tied to one man. Mr..
Page Is well informed regarding hidts
and he has taken the proper stand on
the question. Free hides win do very
little good or harm in Vermont, but free
hides would be one step in the right d.
rection. That the Beef Trust controls
the hide business Is in itself the best
reason for placing hides on the free list.
But there are many other commodities
controlled by trusts which Mr. Page
voted for, the freeing Of which would
be very much more advantageous to YER
mont and the country. Small favers
are thankfully received, ete.-Burliug-
