Some of the machine owners in town
have adopted the practice of the race
demons and now drive their cars with
mufhers wide open. There is plenty
of noise without this, and the practice
should be abandoned.
The Main street viaduct is being
completed In many peoples estima-

the crowds which must necessarily go

The deputy sheriffs were given their
instructions last evening and assigned
their respective places on the course.
So far no law-breaking or ME-

police. and mayhap Crown Point will
go through the event with her pro-
verbal good luck and escape the law
lessness attendant on such occasions.
Many Lake county people have ad-
vantage of the chance to witness the
drivers in their workouts from every

A STORY TO FIT THE CASE.

"Af.er hunting for Il half the summer"
said Representative Nurdock OF Kansas
II have found exactly the story which
about this tariff bill. knew It was there
somewhere. but It was hard to md It's
an old Spanish story. and It exactly Ats
our situation. You remember when we
passed the Payne bill nobody liked II be-
cause It was too high Then the Senate
got it and substituted the Aldrich rates.
which were so much higher shat the
PAYNE BIZ looked like moderation itself.
Now we are scrappng around 10 preserve
the Payne rates. and Il we succeed in
getting them we will feel sure that We
have won a great and glorious Victory.
Vow for my Spanish story. II just
touches the spot. A very tail man en-
tered q tailors shop and said: Y want
a cape II you have one that will be long
enough The tailor knew that he didns
one that was long enough. but he though,
he must sell to the visitor. 1t would be
sin TO let customer get away. So he
replied: Yes, have one that an sure
Will Just 1T YOU and producing It he
draped It over the shoulders OF the Gus
toner and hastily reached for huge
pair OF scissors.
Hold. what would you do witt,
those? demanded the customer.
II must cut 1t OF; It Is a trife too
long replied the tailor. Can you not see
that it would be moro fitting TO you IL
it We're a little shorter?'
''The customer looked It over carefully
screwed bis neck around and studied I,
with care.
"I would feel that ought not to sell
10 Won. sir, unless You permitted me to
shorten It. 1t would speak III of my
workmanship 10 sell coat too long for
It's wearer.
The customer studied II some more
and said
Me thinks It is not long. l doubt &.
1t is quite long enough but I'll take IT,
and the clever tailor held him UP for
two prices and sent him away happy.
which is just what they are going TO do

WHAT WILL THE LEGISLATURE

The Bellows Falls Times quotes our
recent article on the syndicate sum
!mer hotel situation in this State nnd
says: vermont needs more summer
hotels, and until they are built there
gan be no greater permanent In
crease IN what is popularity known as
summer business" The Times then
asks this pertinent question: "Will
future Vermont Legislatures encour-
age these syndicate gentlemen with a
little Legislation favorable to hotcls?'
In this connection It is coming to be
recognized more and more that Yer
mont must adopt more concilatory
policies with reference to outside cap
ital. II we are to continue to depend
upon others to develop our natural
resources. We must stop insisting
that corporations must pay for each
and every extravaganza legislator
may take 1t into his head to advocate
in the Legislature.
In the meantime, every town should
keep uppermost tho question in more
forms than one, What will the Lcgts-
